Chapter 907: Chapter 876: Repayment, Concealment

He Tiantian was stunned. Oh my gosh, eight more people had been sent to look after them?

Together with Zhang Ning and Xie Wu, that made ten?

Wow, her family was getting pretty high-level treatment!

"Brother Yingjie, has the situation really become this serious?" He Tiantian asked, somewhat afraid, "Are those people really out to harm us?"

If that was really the case, wouldn’t it be very dangerous?

"Don’t worry, just live normally, as if we’re just being cautious," Huo Yingjie reassured. "It’s just that my research results are too advanced; there has been no progress in these materials abroad for so many years. They’ve been at a standstill. Now that I’ve made a breakthrough, they got wind of my research through certain channels and naturally focused their attention on me wanting to obtain the formula."

After thinking for a moment, He Tiantian nodded and said, "I’ve got it. Although I’m a bit scared and anxious, I’ll try my best to adapt. And you have to try even harder to become so strong that those people won’t dare to mess with you, unable to afford to provoke you."

"Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too," Huo Yingjie chuckled, holding his wife’s hand. In the past, he always wanted to be an ordinary husband to He Tiantian, not wanting to get involved in worldly matters.

However, worldly matters can’t always be avoided by hiding; when one lives in the secular world, they have to deal with things according to secular rules.

Afterward, he planned to make some charms or other magical instruments to give to his wife, children, and parents. If he had time, he wanted to make a trip to the Dark River in the Qijia Village Back Mountain Cave. There were things he had sealed away there, and it was time to take them out for use; they couldn’t continue to gather dust.

He still didn’t want to let He Tiantian know about these things. It was better to leave it to Cui Ying from Huashan to deal with He Tiantian afterward.

He was still the ordinary husband, not wanting to overly affect He Tiantian’s life.

Zhang Ning had gone to do some recon and came back to report, "Leader, there are two people trailing and protecting the sister-in-law, no need to worry."

"Thank you," He Tiantian said with gratitude. As such a minor figure, she felt guilty about using people sent by the state.

"It’s what we should do," Zhang Ning said. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work," Huo Yingjie said, allowing Zhang Ning to leave. "Don’t worry, there’s no need to be concerned."

He Tiantian smiled and said, "I won’t worry. I’ll take good care of you, and then you can keep making your contributions, giving back to the community. That way, I’m also indirectly contributing."

"That’s right, by taking good care of me, you are contributing to the nation," Huo Yingjie laughed. His wife was just too adorable!

Oh dear, what a jerk he had been in his past life to have missed out on each other, leaving behind so many regrets.

Luckily, they still had this life together.

After dinner, He Tiantian began to correct homework.

Huo Yingjie, having nothing else to do, helped He Tiantian with the corrections, speeding up the process. By nine o’clock in the evening, they had finished marking everything.

He Tiantian looked at Huo Yingjie who had already marked all of this afternoon’s exam papers, and said in surprise, "Brother Yingjie, you are so fast. Are you sure there are no mistakes?"

"Don’t doubt the ability of someone with a high IQ," Huo Yingjie raised an eyebrow. "If you don’t trust me, you can check a few of them."

He had already reviewed the correct answers earlier, and for some of the more open-ended questions where students had expressed their own views, as long as they made sense, they received marks. Huo Yingjie also graded them according to the situation.

Thus, there were no mistakes to be found.

He Tiantian randomly pulled out a few exam papers and began to look them over, somewhat astonished.

My goodness, there wasn’t a single problem.

"My goodness, that’s really impressive," He Tiantian praised, "Actually, if you were a teacher, maybe you could teach even more good students."

"Now do you believe in your husband?" Huo Yingjie said, "Don’t deal with this anymore today, rest up nicely. You can transcribe the scores tomorrow."

Huo Yingjie knew He Tiantian was very tired today and urged her to rest.

With the work done, He Tiantian was also very happy.

Indeed tired from the day, she lay on the bed and within two or three minutes, He Tiantian fell asleep.

The next day, He Tiantian took half an hour to copy down the scores and verified them, then packed everything up, ready to take to school tomorrow morning to hand over to Vice Director Wu, and then she would be truly on vacation.

In the afternoon, He Tiantian went out to buy vegetables and snacks.

Thinking that Wang Ying was pregnant, He Tiantian said, "Brother Yingjie, I’ll visit Wang Ying’s home this afternoon. We have some stuff at home, I’ll take some to her."

"Okay, her home has stairs, I won’t go," Huo Yingjie said. His leg couldn’t manage stairs.

"Mhm, I’ll be back soon." He Tiantian packed up the big and small bags and hurriedly delivered them to Wang Ying.

Seeing that Wang Ying looked well, He Tiantian felt slightly relieved.

Who knew that on her return home, she heard crying coming from the courtyard.

It turned out that Old Master Jiang and Old Madam Jiang had come.

A sense of alarm went through He Tiantian’s heart. Something had happened to Huo Yingjie, and she had forgotten to inform the Jiang family elders.

The main reason was that the health of the two elderly Jiangs wasn’t good; they often caught colds in winter. Once it was clear that there was no danger to Huo Yingjie, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie had decided not to tell them, planning to wait until they were discharged to go home before informing them.

She had intended to visit her maternal grandparents after returning from school tomorrow, but they had already found out on their own.

Huo Yingjie consoled them, "Grandma, Grandpa, don’t be angry. Actually, it’s just a broken leg, nothing serious. With all the climbing up and down in the hospital, and with your health being not so good, how could I let you worry? If something happened to you because of me, my mother would kill me!"

"Grandma, Grandpa, please come inside, don’t stand out here," He Tiantian stepped forward to mediate, "It’s warm inside. You can scold us however you want, as long as you’re in good health."

Old Madam Jiang touched He Tiantian’s cold hands and said, "Ah, these days have been hard on you. Yingjie has been reckless, and you didn’t even tell us."

He Tiantian chuckled, "He was worried about your health, that’s why he didn’t say anything. It’s really just a fracture, no big deal. He can get the cast off in two months."

"All right, enough of that, old man, let’s go inside so the children don’t worry," Old Madam Jiang said. "We can’t do this in the future. Today, I found out from Wentao and was almost scared to death."

Zhang Hui stepped forward with a smile, "Mom, I’ve said it, Yingjie is blessed with good fortune and won’t encounter disaster. Now, isn’t he fine? With you coming here like this, you’re putting the young couple in a difficult position."

Jiang Guyou laughed and said, "Heh, that’s right. Anything you want to say, let’s go inside and talk about it."

Jiang Wenwen was playing inside the house with Huo Ruimin and Huo Ruihua and, hearing He Tiantian’s voice outside, poked her head out, "Well, if you’re here to visit my cousin, don’t create unnecessary concern."

A group of people entered the house, radiating familial warmth.
