The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1217 - 1185: Watching the house, pressing for answers

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1185: Watching the house, pressing for answers

Snake King came back from outside, dusty and tired, and asked, "Why did you call me here?"

"Obviously, to house-sit," He Tiantian said. "Little Rotating Turtle is at home alone watching so many people, I am a bit worried. You stay at home too, help me look after the child."

Snake King was speechless upon hearing this and retorted, "Isn’t Huo Yingjie at home? Besides, there’s Little Rotating Turtle, right?"

"Brother Yingjie will secretly come with me," He Tiantian smiled. "Little Rotating Turtle is at home, but after all, he’s young and still needs to go to school, I’m somewhat worried about the house."

"Now I am a big star, and yet you want me to house-sit for you," Snake King rolled his eyes, "Besides, you could have Huo Yingjie stay at home while I go abroad to protect you."

He Tiantian was startled, then immediately twisted Snake King’s ear and said, "You are now my big cousin, helping your cousin house-sit is only natural. Whether you like it or not, you have to do it!"

Although Snake King originally wanted to resist, seeing Huo Yingjie not far away, he dared not and could only plead, "I’m really scared of you guys, alright alright, I’ll stay. Plus I have some appointments in Yanjing recently, so I can come home every day."

"If you had just said so earlier, I wouldn’t have needed to get physical," He Tiantian laughed, "I’m relieved with you taking care of the house."

Despite his dissatisfaction, Snake King had no choice but to agree.

Afterward, He Tiantian prepared to set off.

Huo Yingjie turned invisible, following He Tiantian to Korea.

So convenient, getting on the plane, damn, no need for a plane ticket or security check, just lying directly in He Tiantian’s pocket.

This is the power of a demigod, a golden finger so huge it annoys both gods and humans.

Upon arriving in Korea, the airport and surrounding advertisements were all about the Olympic Games.

This is a nation extremely insecure and yet so arrogant.

This time, they give great importance to their ability to host the Olympic Games, taking the opportunity to promote Korean culture.

Kimchi!

He Tiantian glanced at the kimchi without any appetite, still finding Beijing duck more satisfying.

Arriving at the Olympic Village, He Tiantian along with her teammates and coaches checked into the section for Country H, finding their respective rooms.

Due to the proximity, there’s no need for jet lag adjustment.

"Cui Ying, how do you feel about being in Korea?" asked He Tiantian, feeling somewhat bored on this trip.

Cui Ying cautiously looked around and said, "Last time, it was on our way back from Korea that we had an incident. This time, I must be more cautious and ensure no accidents happen again."

Not far off, Wei Yuanyuan was on high alert, guessing that both of them would not have an easy time in Korea and on their way back from Korea.

"Hehe," He Tiantian chuckled, also recalling the plane crash incident.

In the eyes of outsiders, there was an assassin targeting He Tiantian.

No wonder on the plane, Huo Yingjie said that this time the country had dispatched over fifty people to protect the swimming team, especially her, and had made comprehensive preparations.

The flight attendants were all rigorously vetted, and they searched inside and out of the plane for any safety hazards before letting the team board.

"Last time, it was our negligence," Wei Yuanyuan said. "We cannot let the same thing happen again."

"Actually, you don’t have to be so tense. After all, we have many people protecting us," He Tiantian reassured. With several days of competition ahead, she worried that these two couldn’t withstand the continuous stress.

In fact, last time’s incident wasn’t only due to the assassin but also Demon Night, Xiao Fox, and their past karmic entanglements. Luckily, it had been properly handled, but she wondered how Demon Night and Xiao Fox were now doing!

"Seeing you all geared up, I guess I should be cautious too," He Tiantian said, feeling somewhat guilty; although she was the victim, she knew those people were all targeting her.

Sigh, born with a propensity for trouble, she felt innocent just thinking about it.

"That would be for the best," Wei Yuanyuan said. "Wherever you go, whatever you want to buy, you need to talk to the people around you, you absolutely cannot act alone. Now we must not only guard against assassins, but also spies from other countries with ulterior motives, and even teammates working together."

"Yes, remember the incident with your allergy last time," Cui Ying added. "Apart from me and Wei Yuanyuan, you should not drink anything given to you by anyone else."

"Mm, got it," He Tiantian nodded, realizing indeed there were many matters to be cautious of.

He Tiantian got some rest to adjust her condition. freewebnoveℓ.com

Jiao Lihong and Cai Fenfang dared not act recklessly in front of He Tiantian.

Because they felt this time, the accompanying staff included many unfamiliar faces, and they seemed rather formidable.

This time, it was Jiao Lihong’s uncle who led the team. Jiao Lihong, curious, secretly came over to ask at night what was going on?

Director Jiao also only received the news when he boarded the plane, and seeing his niece coming to ask, he took the opportunity to explain that there were special agents sent from above to ensure our work could be completed smoothly. So, he said, "You must put in a good effort and must not make any mistakes."

"Mm-hmm," Jiao Lihong nodded. Originally, she had intended to trip up He Tiantian by adding stimulants to her drink or food, but now she really dared not, with so many pairs of eyes watching, there was no opportunity to act.

Director Jiao recalled the materials Coach Wu had reported previously, that someone had put harmful substances in He Tiantian’s toiletries. His first thought was of his niece Jiao Lihong.

"Lihong, about the extensive investigation by Coach Wu last time, was that incident related to you?" Director Jiao asked seriously, hoping Jiao Lihong would tell him the truth.

"No... it wasn’t me," Jiao Lihong reflexively denied, but because she was nervous, she stuttered a bit.

Director Jiao knew his niece well; if it wasn’t her doing, she would deny it outright instead of hesitating like she was now.

Thinking that it concerned He Tiantian, not just because of the championship gold medal but also due to the Huo Family’s influence, Director Jiao felt anxious and scared.

"Is it really you?" Director Jiao squinted his eyes, "If it isn’t you, then I will request to keep investigating!"

"Don’t...," Jiao Lihong, hearing that the investigation could continue, was very scared, "Don’t investigate anymore, it... it was me..."

Director Jiao was stunned, so it really was this foolish niece of his.

With a brain like hers, if he let her work in the bureau in the future, she would just be used as a pawn by others, better to leave her in a regular position outside—at least, she won’t invite trouble due to her lack of intelligence.

"Now tell me, why did you do it?" Director Jiao asked coldly, "Do you know how risky that was!"
