Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 691 Make them pay more attention to you

Once Chu Xin entered the courtyard, she stopped paying attention to Zhou Yichen's situation, completely trusting him to handle it.

He had no idea that he was being targeted as a weak point.

After being disarmed, the two spies decided to take a gamble and kidnap Chu Xin to give them a chance to escape.

She was just a woman with no physical strength, making her one of the most vulnerable groups to prey on.

It has to be said that these spies are truly in cahoots; they even think in the same way.

With the thought forming in their minds, the two agents quickly reached an agreement. One of them roared and gritted his teeth to desperately hold back Zhou Yichen, while the other pounced on the two men, one lying down and the other standing, at top speed.

Chu Xin was talking to Yang Zheng with her head down when she saw someone rushing over out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head slightly to look, but she didn't panic or shout. She just watched the other person rush over.

Yang Zheng was equally calm, but his expression seemed to carry a hint of sympathy compared to Chu Xin's.

pity?

The agent who had already reached out to attack Chu Xin wondered why the person had such an expression.

Then, the next moment, he saw the little girl smile at him and then perform a beautiful spinning kick.

Immediately afterwards, his whole body jerked violently, the excruciating pain of broken ribs struck him, and the momentum of his forward charge vanished abruptly, replaced by a faster backward flight.

The impact slammed into the two people behind him. Seeing that he would be in trouble if he didn't dodge, Zhou Yichen immediately abandoned his agent accomplice, whose arms were tied behind his back and who was forced to kneel on the ground, and quickly dodged away.

"boom--"

"what!"

The two spies collided violently, causing the ground to visibly shake.

Neither of the two spies expected that the person they thought was the easiest to control would turn out to be the most terrifying being.

Huo Baohua, who was still unconscious, didn't know if the drug had worn off or if he had been woken up by the noise. He opened his eyes in a daze, but before he could see anything, he heard screams all around him.

He was only in a brief daze for a few seconds before he remembered his situation and realized that although his body was still bound, his life was not in danger.

As he breathed a sigh of relief, he realized that he was now in a bright and spacious open space, no longer in that cramped and dark coffin. He quickly looked in the direction from which the sound came.

He had never seen or recognized the two people who were screaming so horribly.

Zhou Yichen was there; it seemed he was the one who saved me.

Huo Baohua nodded secretly, then his gaze zoomed in again...

I saw another injured and disheveled person, whom I still didn't recognize.

Then, her eyes darted around, and oh, standing right at her feet was that lovable yet hateful little girl.

So she came too.

Not bad, not bad, that's quite thoughtful. It would be even better if he didn't have to lie here.

"Uuuuuuu..."

No one noticed that he was awake, and Huo Baohua could only try to move his body to make a sound.

Chu Xin looked down and smiled, "Chief Engineer Huo is awake."

Huo Baohua: ...

No, this girl can't stand not making a joke, right? Why is she talking in such a sarcastic way?

"Uuuuuuu..."

Chu Xin sighed dramatically, "It's really pitiful. From now on, you should stay in the arsenal properly and not run around doing whatever you want. See, you've suffered a great loss now."

Yang Zheng looked at her with a somewhat indescribable expression. Why did you say so much? Just untie it for her.

Huo Baohua finally understood what the brat meant: she meant, "Don't bother me anymore."

His mouth was stuffed shut, making him uncomfortable and quite angry. He then unleashed a series of muffled "uh-uh-uh" sounds, the only audible expression of his emotions.

Zhou Yichen reluctantly went over to untie Huo Baohua, so as not to make him angry with Chu Xin the moment he got the advantage. He said first, "She's right. You were lucky this time because you were not far from Chu Yunting and the others. If you were alone, you would definitely have been taken away today."

Chief Engineer Huo, you can't be so stubborn anymore.

In fact, Huo Baohua's transfer from the Second Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense to the arsenal, while seemingly an exile, was actually a form of protection from his superiors.

Moreover, the treatment of researchers at the level of chief engineer of the arsenal is not bad, but Huo Baohua was too proud to refuse the leader's offer to arrange a bodyguard for him.

They believed that since they had left the confidential unit, there was no need for them to, nor were they willing to, occupy national resources any longer.

But what happened today told him that he was still valuable to those people, and that the enemy would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Huo Baohua's desire to compete with Chu Xin was indeed diverted by Zhou Yichen's words, and his expression turned ugly. "I thought I was just an ordinary person now..."

Anyone could hear the difficulty in his words.

"Gold will always attract attention, so don't underestimate yourself."

Chu Xin's languid words sounded light and airy, yet they carried a lot of weight. Huo Baohua was surprised that she would say that, and was even a little embarrassed, "So you can comfort people."

Chu Xin paused for a moment. In fact, she had just spoken out purely because she was moved by Huo Baohua's own experience.

Moreover, this person didn't seem to realize that her use of "glowing" meant attracting thieves.

She thought for a moment, then opened her mouth, "...Actually..."

"Actually, Chief Engineer Huo, you underestimate yourself!"

He had barely begun speaking when Zhou Yichen interrupted him.

Huo Baohua may not be familiar with Chu Xin, but how could he not know that the young girl probably wouldn't say anything nice?

Chu Xin glanced at Zhou Yichen with a complicated expression, and after trying to keep quiet for a while, she finally sighed and shut up.

Oh well, her honesty is usually unpleasant to hear, so let's just take it as a sign of respect for her age.

She calmed down, and Huo Baohua didn't insist on arguing with her. He stretched his limbs and got up. He looked at the two rather pitiful agents again, frowned and asked Zhou Yichen, "Just the two of them? No, there should be others. These two weren't the ones who tricked me into leaving, and the person who gave me the medicine before I fainted was an old man."

Furthermore, I suspect that the US was most likely the one who took action.

After all, they had just suffered a setback not long ago.

Zhou Yichen was examining Yang Zheng's injuries. His complexion was really bad. To be able to force a special forces reconnaissance soldier with rich combat experience to this state, Lu Jianshe must be more unfathomable than he imagined.

Upon hearing Huo Baohua's question, he temporarily set aside his own thoughts, patted Yang Zheng to help him up, and then solemnly replied:

"This matter is rather complicated. We will be able to determine the specifics after our interrogation. Also, according to what you said, these people were only responsible for getting you away, while the kidnapping was carried out by their long-term moles in Kyoto."

There was a gunfight outside just now. I assume the person you mentioned has already escaped. Those arrested now are the people involved in the transfer.

Huo Baohua hadn't expected so much to happen, and nodded without being angry that someone had escaped.

"It takes a calculated approach to catch up with someone who is not prepared. The enemy has to plan carefully to succeed. It's already quite impressive that you were able to catch up and capture them so quickly."

Zhou Yichen pursed his lips and nodded, "That's right, but don't worry, Chief Engineer Huo, we will definitely catch the escaped person as soon as possible."

Also, I will issue a document to truthfully inform your superiors about your safety, so that they will pay more attention to you.
