Gu Qiang stared at the two of them: "Did you find anything else there?"

One of them shook his head, looking dejected: "No, the Rong family left too cleanly, without leaving a single clue."

Most importantly, this family was like ghosts; we had no idea how they left. All we knew was that after they entered the guesthouse, they never came out again.

Another person chimed in, "Yes, we've searched everywhere we could think of, but we haven't found a single treasure or a trace of anyone."

Gu Qiang frowned, feeling increasingly irritated. He glared at the two of them fiercely.

He then pulled out a wad of cash and gave it to the two of them, saying, "Even if we don't find it, this is the money you owe me. Keep it safe, and I'll contact you again if I need anything later."

The two men accepted the money with smiles, patted Gu Qiang on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, Brother Gu, feel free to contact us anytime if you need anything. We'll be going now."

After the two left, Gu Qiang paced back and forth in the room, then suddenly stopped, a sinister glint in his eyes: "If a direct investigation doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to some underhanded methods."

Gu Qiang then turned and left, returning home.

Nothing happened in the days that followed, and even Gu Qiang stopped asking him about the Rong family.

On the surface, Gu Rong acted as usual, playing at home, eating and drinking, and occasionally helping Rong Xin with chores.

Gu Qiang would occasionally glance at her but wouldn't say much. He would just stare at her for a while, but Gu Rong always felt that things weren't so simple.

However, according to Ah-Xi, the Rong family has already arrived in Hong Kong and begun arranging everything.

However, Hong Kong at this time was not the same as the later Hong Kong; it was still quite chaotic. Whether they could gain a foothold later on depended on themselves.

Thinking this, Gu Rong continued to lie on the bed, feeling like a corpse.

He casually pulled Axi out and asked, looking at Axi's level, "How long will it take you to absorb enough to reach level 4?"

Ah Xi checked her level and calculated the fastest speed: "Almost there, almost there. I've already used my mouth to its maximum speed. It will still take at least another month to reach level 4."

"Alright, alright, you can go in and continue leveling up. I'll just lie here," Gu Rong waved and tossed A Xi in, along with a bunch of snacks.

Gu Rong lay there for a while, when she suddenly heard a noise outside the courtyard.

Gu Rong got out of bed and peered through the crack in the door for a while. When she saw the two people who pushed the door open and came in, Gu Rong couldn't help but frown.

It's obvious they have the keys; besides her, only Rong Xin and Gu Qiang have the keys to the house.

Rong Xin wouldn't harm her. It's obvious that Gu Qiang gave her the key, and since she's the only person in the house, it's clearly targeted at her.

Gu Rong glanced at the person getting closer and closer, frowned, and didn't know how to dodge.

Seeing that there was nowhere to hide in the room, Gu Rong took out paper and pen, wrote and drew on the paper, and then stuffed it under her pillow.

Seeing the people getting closer and closer outside, Gu Rong immediately opened the door and went out.

Gu Rong's gaze fell on the two people in the yard. She pretended to be panicked and shouted, "Ah~ Auntie, help! Someone... someone bad guy has broken into my house."

The two men were startled by Gu Rong's shout. After exchanging a glance, one of the burly men said menacingly, "Little girl, stop shouting, or you'll regret it!"

Gu Rong pretended to be scared and took a step back, but her eyes were fixed on them warily: "Who are you people, and why are you in my house?"

At this moment, another tall, thin man stepped forward and said in a sarcastic tone, "Gu Rong, is it? We don't want to make things difficult for you. As long as you hand over the Rong family's treasure, we'll let you go."

Seeing two adults asking such formal questions to a child like her, Gu Rong couldn't help but laugh. It was really hard to imagine where Gu Qiang had found these two idiots.

However, seeing the two people's expressions, Gu Rong pretended to be confused: "What baby? I have no idea what you're talking about! I'm looking for my mother, get out of my way."

The tall, thin man looked at the little girl and then at the man beside him: "Big brother, why are you talking to a little brat like her? Just tie her up and have Rongxin bring back something to exchange for her."

The burly man nodded and lunged at Gu Rong. Gu Rong, of course, wouldn't just stand there and let him grab her. She nimbly dodged when the man lunged at her, and he missed and almost fell over.

Taking advantage of the moment, Gu Rong darted between the two to the door, shouting as she ran, "Ahhhhh~ Auntie, help me!"

"Grab her quickly, don't let her scream, or we'll be in big trouble," the tall, thin man said impatiently.

Gu Rong naturally wouldn't let them succeed. She stuck a speed talisman on herself and quickly ran to the front door, then darted to the door next door, shouting, "Auntie, Auntie, save me!"

Gu Rong stayed in her room the whole time. What she didn't know was that all the other neighbors were busy with various things and no one was home at all.

All of this was orchestrated by Gu Qiang, who wanted to use her to threaten Rong Xin first, to see if the item was with Gu Rong. If it wasn't with him, he would use her to threaten Rong Xin.

The two men quickly caught up. The burly man tried to grab Gu Rong's arm, but she couldn't feel any movement around us and couldn't grab her at all.

But he bumped into the wall, which made her wince in pain.

The burly man looked at her and couldn't help but laugh mockingly: "Don't waste your energy. No one can save you today. Just come with us and you'll suffer less."

Gu Rong deliberately acted flustered on the surface, but in reality, she wasn't nervous at all.

However, seeing the situation before them, the two men were determined to catch her, so they quietly summoned Ah Xi: "Guide me on the way to Rong Xin."

Ah-Xi, who had been eating and digesting, hadn't been paying attention to the outside world and had no idea what was going on.

Seeing the two people who had appeared out of nowhere, Ah Xi was still a little confused: "Host, who are these two people?"

Gu Rong's gaze fell on the two menacing figures opposite her. The author said to A Xi, "Never mind who they are for now. Just tell me where Rong Xin is and how to get there."

"Okay, okay, Axi Navigation is at your service, please follow me," Axi floated in the air and pointed the way for Gu Rong.

Gu Rong looked in the direction he pointed, then her gaze fell on the two people slowly approaching her, and she quickly turned around and ran away.

Seeing that he had missed again, the burly man stomped his feet and shouted angrily, "You little bitch, don't let me catch you or I'll kill you."

He glanced one last time at the thin man beside him: "Why aren't you going to grab it? Don't you want the money back?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away," the thin man quickly followed, chasing after Gu Rong.

The burly man followed.

Just after the group left, the courtyard gate that Gu Rong had just knocked on slowly opened.
