Rong Liancheng looked at the compass on the table, frowned, picked it up and examined it: "Rong Bao, what is this?"

Gu Rong directly explained how the item came about: "This was given to you by Master Zhen. The energy inside can ensure your safety on two sea voyages, one to the destination and one to the return. Use it with caution."

After listening to Gu Rong's explanation, Rong Liancheng had no doubt about the product's effectiveness.

After all, Gu Rong had been woken up several times on the train journey back last night, and his temper tantrums were getting shorter and shorter, and he was becoming more and more peaceful. He believed in Master Zhen's abilities.

Seeing such a precious item, Rong Liancheng naturally knew that it was of great value.

You know, when a ship is at sea, if it encounters a storm, everyone on board can lose their lives. This little thing is a lifesaver.

Rong Liancheng stared at Gu Rong: "This... what did you use to exchange it?"

"It's just a worthless little thing, Grandpa, don't worry about it. It won't harm me at all," Gu Rong explained, then changed the subject, afraid that it would be difficult to explain if Rong Liancheng asked any more questions.

"When do you plan to leave? I suggest the sooner the better. I can transport the things with my mother in advance. You can have your uncle and the others go there secretly. That way, after the severance of ties, our two families will have no contact, and no one else can say anything."

“You…” Rong Liancheng was at a loss for words when he saw Gu Rong, who didn’t even pretend to be a child.

Gu Rong knew the other party had seen through her, so she didn't bother to explain further: "Grandpa, don't ask anything else. The important thing now is for you to leave as soon as possible. I can't hold on any longer."

Gu Rong said these words on purpose, just to stop Rong Liancheng from asking any more questions.

However, what she said made sense; indeed, after some more time, she should have left too.

Rong Liancheng hadn't given much thought to Gu Rong's previous changes or the extra space in the cloth bag.

But now, looking back carefully, it all seems like God sent people to help their family.

Gu Rong, who helped them, suffered those consequences because of the backlash she received.

This trip to Master Zhen did indeed help Gu Rong recover.

But considering what Gu Rong had just said, Rong Liancheng automatically realized that Gu Rong, or the 'Gu Rong' inside Gu Rong's body, was about to give up.

Rong Liancheng's eyes instantly reddened, and he nodded, saying, "It's all been arranged over there. I'll have someone send you, your mother, and Gu Xing back tomorrow."

I need to make arrangements for two more days. After that, your mother will take you to Haishi. Your eldest uncle will be waiting for you there. After you put your things away, come back. Once you're back, my people will arrange for a public notice to sever ties with you in the newspaper.

Gu Rong nodded, relieved. Thankfully, her grandfather didn't press further. "Grandpa, you and your uncles need to be careful. Once you get there and start over, things will definitely get better. We'll be waiting for you to come back."

Rong Liancheng patted Gu Rong's shoulder, forcing back his tears, and said, "Rongbao, thank you. It's Grandpa who's sorry for you and your mother. I couldn't protect you and made you suffer all this."

Gu Rong smiled and comforted him, "Grandpa, this isn't your fault. We'll all be fine from now on. I'll go out now. You can talk to your uncles and the others to arrange things later."

As soon as Gu Rong came out, she met the gaze of Han Jianshu, who had been waiting for her.

Gu Rong assumed he wanted to talk about those things, so she took him to her room and said, "Go ahead and talk."

Han Jianshu smiled and said, "I still need to go back and arrange things. Now is not the time to talk about this. When we get back, Axi and I will explain it to you."

"Axi?" Gu Rong was surprised to find that Axi was involved in this matter: "It?"

"Without the system's help, do you think I would have such great power?" Han Jianshu looked at A-Xi, who had already been pulled out, and explained with a smile:

"The one in your hand really doesn't know anything, so don't make things difficult for him. If you want to make things difficult, wait until we leave here and make things difficult for the one outside."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong looked at the system in his hand, and through his innocent yet frightened eyes, he couldn't discern anything.

Hearing that all of this was related to that big bad wolf, and looking at these two identical faces, Gu Rong found it hard not to implicate the 'simple and innocent A-Xi' in front of her.

But thinking that they would have to rely on this little thing after they left, Gu Rong could only suppress her anger.

He also took out a lot of snacks and stuffed them all into Ah Xi's system space: "It's so delicious. Save up enough energy as soon as possible. If you dawdle, I'll blow your system head off."

"I...I'll eat as soon as possible," Ah Xi said, her voice trembling as she shrugged.

But unfortunately, it was already full inside, so it couldn't go in and was instead bounced out.

Helpless, he could only devour several bags of snacks right under Gu Rong's nose before squeezing into the packed space.

Seeing Gu Rong's angry expression, Han Jianshu couldn't help but rub her head and say, "I'm going home now, don't miss me."

Gu Rong pushed Han Jianshu's hand away with disgust and glared at him angrily: "Who would miss you? Don't flatter yourself. If you want to leave, leave now. Don't get in my way."

"I'm leaving now, see you when I get back," Han Jianshu stood up, quickly left the room, said goodbye to Rong Xin and Rong Liancheng, and then left with Xiao He.

When Rong Xin heard what Rong Liancheng said, she didn't expect it to be in such a hurry: "Dad, we just got back, can't we wait a couple more days?"

“There’s no time,” Rong Liancheng patted Rong Xin on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, as long as you’re all okay, we’ll meet again. Xin, take care of yourself and Rong Bao and the others. We’ll be back.”

I've also left you some things in that house in the west of the city. Don't take them unless absolutely necessary, and don't tell Gu Qiang.

As for the rest, Rongbao knows where they are. When you get back, don't mention anything else. Just pretend those things never happened and live your life well, okay?

Rongxin was happy that her father doted on Rongbao so much and told her such important things, but she also felt very unsafe: "I know, Dad, but I'm afraid Rongbao will tell you. Maybe you shouldn't say anything. You can talk about those things when you get back."

Rong Liancheng didn't want to tell Rong Xin anything, fearing that one day she might be misled by Gu Qiang and reveal everything.

If Gu Qiang were a good person, he wouldn't care; he could just hand everything over. But it was obvious that Gu Qiang wasn't someone he could entrust with anything.

His daughter has her own ideas, and no matter how many times he tries to persuade her, she won't listen, so he can only guard against her like this.

Rong Liancheng sighed: "I have my own arrangements for this. Just pretend you don't know anything. Have Rong Bao come over again later. I have something to tell her."
