Xia Jin looked at him with some doubt when he heard what he said. He really couldn't think of who else would send people to follow them besides himself.

Although their family offended many people, those were just some quarrels and disputes. They had no need and no ability to hire someone to follow them.

Could it be that I have offended a powerful person at some point and I don’t even know it?

Just as she was thinking, Gu Jingmo said, "How many people, have you noticed you?"

"No, there were only two people. They looked like street thugs, but they looked very fierce. I hid well and they didn't notice me."

"I felt like they were people who had seen blood, or had done a lot of bad things. That was the feeling."

Gu Jingmo tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Then don't worry about it for now. Just wait and see what they are going to do. As long as they don't find you, it's fine. Their family affairs have nothing to do with us."

"If they do anything later, come and tell us. If there's a conflict between them, you don't have to help. You just need to take care of their family. The rest has nothing to do with us."

"good."

After the man left, Xia Jin looked at him and said, "A Jing, who do you think it could be? What other people has the Xia family offended?"

"Hey, you said you were following the Luo family, and they left together, so Brother Dachuan mistook you for someone from the Xia family."

"Think about it, Deputy Director Luo of the Luo family has been in this position for several years and must have offended many people. So now that he's in trouble, maybe his enemies will take the opportunity to retaliate against their family."

"The family that has such dirty dealings with him must be quite capable, so they can hire a few people. Otherwise, why would the Xia family provoke such a person?"

Dachuan was the person who was sent to follow the Xia family. His full name was Tian Dachuan. He was a retired soldier. Because of his outstanding abilities in the army, he was hired by the Gu family after retiring.

Gu Jingmo looked at the person who kept talking and smiled gently. After she finished speaking, he said, "No, since Brother Tian said so, then she must be someone from the Xia family."

"If he can't even tell the difference, then all his years as a soldier would have been in vain. So if he says he's following the Xia family, then he's following them. People follow whoever they follow, and their eyes are on that family, so this is generally not wrong."

"Do you have any impression that their family has offended any ruthless person, or has any family held a deep grudge against them?"

Xia Jin shook her head and said, "No, you know that Old Lady Xia is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. If he were really a cruel and ruthless person, she would not dare to offend him at all."

In fact, Gu Jingmo had a guess that this group of people were the same group of human traffickers that County Chief Tian had mentioned before. As for why they were following their family, it might be related to the two boys in their family.

However, these kinds of things are just my own guesses and may not be accurate, so let’s not talk about them for now. Besides, what does their family affairs have to do with the two of them?

They should be punished for how they treated Xiaojin before, so no matter what happens this time, it is retribution for their family.

"Maybe something happened while you were away. You don't know that your stepfather doesn't just sit around doing nothing all day. Maybe it was these little hooligans he offended outside."

"Later, they were so angry that they wanted to teach their family a lesson. This kind of thing is possible. After all, judging by the situation now, your stepfather is capable of doing anything when he's drunk."

"Yeah, it's none of our business anyway, they can do whatever they want."

"But if their stalking is discovered, will we be implicated? After all, we have people following their family. If someone dies, it will definitely be troublesome for us."

"Don't worry about that. As long as I'm here, I won't let you get involved in this kind of thing."

I nodded after listening to his words, and then thought of something I had never had time to ask, which was how their thing was going, and I had never found the time to ask about it properly.

"Have you guys finished your business, Liang family..."

"Not yet. The Liang family is deeply rooted. It's not easy to bring down their entire family. The news I received was that Old Man Liang pushed his youngest son out."

"He left everything clean, and in order to save his youngest son, or perhaps to put the matter to rest as quickly as possible, my father said that Old Man Liang cut off both of his arms and retreated from the upper position."

Xia Jin exclaimed in amazement: "I didn't expect that this man could go to such lengths for his son. It seems that he really loves his son."

Looking at the innocent Xia Jin, he smiled and said, "What are you thinking? This is all for himself and for the entire Liang family."

"You don't know that if he didn't take a step, then how this matter would end up would be uncertain. That's why he backed off so readily."

"It's just because he knew that if he didn't do it, the higher-ups would punish him, so he chose to do this to protect his family."

"Although he has retired, he still has some influence, just not as much. Besides, his former subordinates have not changed, so his loss is not that great."

"Just wait and see. His next step will be to promote his eldest son to a higher position. Although he's handed over the power, his connections remain."

"There might be those ungrateful people who distance themselves from their family, but he has promoted so many people before, and they are in high positions now, so there must be someone who can be used."

"So even though the higher-ups knew this incident had a lot to do with their family, there was nothing they could do. They insisted on saying it was their son who did it and they were unaware of it."

"The higher-ups can't do anything about their family either. Fortunately, one benefit this time is that the power in the hands of the Liang family has been called up. This may be the biggest gain in this matter."

"This incident was so significant that it protected so many cultural relics and apprehended so many tomb robbers. It's over and will be in the newspapers. You can read about it later."

Xia Jin said regretfully, "It's a pity that those things that were previously shipped abroad can't be shipped back. They are all ours, how can we sell them to foreigners? Really."

"Our country is still a little weak. Once we become stronger, maybe we can bring them all back."
