Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 37 Warning

Xu Yan struggled to raise the long sword in her hand, barely supporting her swaying body, and said with a face full of shame.

"It's all my fault! I'm so sorry... I just wanted to escort you back safely, but I never expected to put you in such a desperate situation, and you might even lose your lives because of it..." At this point, Xu Yan's eyes were already red, and her voice couldn't help but choke up.

At this moment, Lu Yun's resentment surged like a tidal wave. He stared wide-eyed at the darkness in front of him, as if he wanted to pour all his anger and resentment into it.

Yes, he did yearn for death, but certainly not in such a humiliating way!

The thought that he hadn't yet been able to exact revenge on Huan Yuechu filled him with unbearable agony, as if a thousand poisonous insects were gnawing at his heart. He had originally intended to gain Chongyang's trust and use him…

Just then, Chongyang looked at his two companions, whose expressions were gloomy and whose morale was low.

With a firm and confident look in her eyes, she said loudly, "You must hold on! Believe me, Sister Yuechu will definitely come to save us!"

However, the other two listened silently with a wry smile on their faces.

They didn't take Chongyang's words to heart at all, regarding them as nothing more than an empty and powerless consolation.

Meanwhile, Huan Yuechu, who was far away on the other side, keenly caught the urgent whistle.

Without hesitation, I unleashed my powerful spiritual energy. In an instant, dazzling rays of light burst forth from my hands, breaking through the solid barrier that had been trapping everyone.

Huan Yuechu rushed to Chongyang's side, her concern evident in her words. "Chongyang, are you alright? Are you injured?"

Her beautiful eyes quickly scanned Chongyang up and down, eager to confirm that he was safe and sound.

In that instant, the once indestructible barrier shattered like fragile glass.

In an instant, a strange power began to surge. The essence, energy, and spirit that had been rapidly dissipating stopped dissipating and instead began to flow back slowly, as if drawn by some mysterious force.

At this moment, Chongyang's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and he looked at Yuechu with a mixture of fear and relief on his face.

Her voice trembled slightly and tinged with a sob as she said, "Sister Yuechu...it's so good that you arrived in time. If you had been any later, I might have lost my life here, and then I would have had to trouble you to collect my body!"

As he spoke, he unconsciously swallowed, as if he was still shaken by the terrifying scene he had just witnessed.

At this moment, Chongyang is exactly like someone who is at a disadvantage in a fight, about to lose, but at the critical moment, he is saved by a savior.

The feeling of surviving a disaster left him looking somewhat disheveled, but at the same time, he was filled with gratitude for Yuechu's timely appearance.

Seeing Chongyang's tearful appearance, Xu Yan and Lu Yun wisely stood aside and exchanged a bewildered glance, as if asking if Chongyang was such a person.

On the surface, the two appeared to be disgusted, but deep down they were filled with envy and jealousy, after all, they themselves...

Huan Yuechu noticed that Chongyang was still able to joke around, so it seemed that nothing serious had happened.

I changed the subject and asked with a puzzled look, "What exactly is this place? Why are there so many strange traps and formations here?"

“I’m not sure either, but this looks like a secret laboratory. We need to get out of here quickly and tell the others what’s going on,” Xu Yan said as she led us toward the exit.

By the time we finally left the factory, the sun was already setting.

Xu Yan and Lu Yun took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air outside.

"Boss lady, thank you so much this time," Xu Yan said gratefully.

“Don’t be so polite, we’re friends. However, the person behind this factory is definitely not simple, you need to continue your investigation,” Huan Yuechu said solemnly.

Xu Yan decided to return to the Special Cases Center to report the situation before making further plans. "Yes, I will request support from above."

Xu Yan said with a serious expression, "There must be more to this case than meets the eye."

At this moment, Chongyang interjected, "I can help! After all, I'm also one of the victims."

Xu Yan smiled at him, a hint of appreciation flashing in her eyes, "Then I'll trouble you. But be careful, the other party might be very dangerous."

I didn't interfere in their affairs; Chongyang has his own judgment. Besides, he's not an impulsive person, so let him be!

Chongyang patted his chest confidently, "Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

Xu Yan then left first, while Chongyang and Lu Yun followed Huan Yuechu back to the inn.

After Lu Yun and Chongyang returned to the city, life returned to normal.

However, one evening, Chongyang received a mysterious letter.

The letter warned them that they must immediately stop investigating the abandoned factory, or they would face the consequences.

Chongyang felt a chill run down his spine; he realized they might have gotten themselves into trouble they shouldn't have.

Chongyang hurriedly went to Huanyuechu for advice, fearing that he couldn't afford to offend these people.

After reading the letter, my expression became very serious.

“This letter is clearly aimed at you,” I analyzed, examining the letter. “They don’t want you to continue your investigation.”

“But we can’t just give up like this,” Chongyang said firmly.

"Of course not." A resolute glint flashed in my eyes. "But you need to be more cautious and careful, and you can't act rashly again."

Over the next few days, Chongyang and Luyun secretly launched an investigation, trying to find out the source of the letter and the mastermind behind it.

However, they encountered various obstacles and threats, and even nearly lost their lives.

Just when they were in dire straits, a crucial clue surfaced...

Meanwhile, a series of bizarre events occur in the city. People disappear one after another, and strange symbols and shadows appear on the streets.

Chongyang began to suspect that all of this was related to the abandoned factory, and he decided to investigate further with Lu Yun.

They searched everywhere for clues and discovered that each of the missing persons had been to the abandoned factory.

As the investigation deepens, Chongyang and Lu Yun gradually get closer to the truth, but danger also follows.

During a pursuit, they were attacked by a group of mysterious people and found themselves in dire straits.

At the critical moment, Chongyang relied on the protective shield provided by Huan Yuechu to temporarily repel the mysterious man.

"Who are these people? Why are they stopping our investigation?" Lu Yun asked breathlessly.

Chongyang frowned deeply. "It seems there's a bigger secret hidden behind the abandoned factory. We must find the answer as soon as possible, or more people will be implicated."
