A complex look flashed in Gu Qiang's eyes. This plan had failed, and he had to think of another way quickly.

What he didn't know was that Gu Rong had seen everything he did and decided to strike first.

Once they arrived home, Gu Rong pointed to the room and asked Rong Xin to carry her back to her room.

After arriving at the room, Gu Rong locked the door and asked Rong Xin in a low voice, "Mom, did Grandpa tell you anything about the things in the house when he passed away?"

Rong Xin was a little confused by the question, because in her opinion, these were things her father had told Gu Rong, and she really didn't know anything about them: "No, what's wrong?"

Although Rong Liancheng told her most things.

But she remembered that when she arrived in her future life, they lived in an alley near Gu Qiang's workplace.

Especially before she went to the countryside, she had collected many treasures from Gu Qiang, which are not among the things she has now.

Gu Rong didn't believe that Rong Liancheng really left Rong Xin nothing.

Gu Rong's gaze fell on Rong Rongxin as she asked, "Really? For example, if you can't stay here anymore, have you said where you'll go to stay? Or what will you do if you can't make ends meet?"

Rongxin thought about it carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Rongrong, your grandfather seems to have mentioned that if we really can't make it here, we should go to an old house in the suburbs."

He said that although the house was a bit old, it was still in good condition overall, and some things were still there. If I needed to move there in the future, we could do so.”

Gu Rong's eyes lit up as well. An old house in the suburbs? Maybe something important is hidden there.

Unfortunately, given the current situation, even if there were things there, she couldn't take them with her and would have to leave them there.

Gu Rong's gaze fell on Rong Xin, then she thought of Gu Xing, and then her eyes lit up.

She can't touch these things, but Rong Xin and Gu Xing can. They can take them, if not all of them, at least some of them.

Although Gu Rong knew that this was roughly where her future home would be, she didn't know it now, so she could only pretend not to know and ask, "Mom, do you know the exact location? I want to go and take a look."

Rong Xin glanced at Gu Rong. Although she didn't understand why Gu Rong wanted to go, as her mother, she was naturally willing to accompany her.

So Rongxin took Gu Rong's hand and said, "If you want to go, Mom will take you now, but it's not safe now, so we have to ask your dad to come along."

Gu Rong is going there now because she wants to get rid of a batch of these things before Gu Qiang finds out.

If Gu Qiang also went along, what would be the point of him doing this? Wouldn't it just be a matter of delivering the goods directly to the other party?

Gu Rong was naturally not that stupid, so she gently pulled Rong Xin's arm and whispered, "My father-in-law instructed us before that anything belonging to the Rong family should not be discussed with outsiders, not even Gu Qiang."

The house over there was left by my maternal grandfather, so it naturally belongs to the Rong family. My grandfather also said he wouldn't go there unless absolutely necessary and wouldn't touch anything inside. Do you think we should take him there?

Upon hearing this, Rong Xin couldn't help but frown.

Right now in the country, Gu Qiang is the only person she can trust.

Moreover, my father said at the time that if our current place became unsafe, we could move there.

After what happened today, she felt that this place was no longer safe. However, if she moved there, she would be surrounded by strangers, and she wouldn't be able to get to know the people here as well.

Now she doesn't know whether she should move there or not, but according to her father, the place can't be exposed to outsiders yet.

Rongxin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, it's just the two of us going, we won't let your dad go."

"OK".

Listening to what the other person said, Gu Rong realized that Rong Xin wasn't completely love-struck; at least she hadn't abandoned herself or tried to save everything for love.

Rong Xin wanted to carry Gu Rong out, but Gu Rong refused. The two left the room hand in hand.

Gu Qiang, who was in the courtyard, saw the two of them come out and went up to ask, "Are you two going out?"

Rongxin hadn't thought of a reason for being asked so suddenly.

Gu Rong, who was standing to the side, looked up at Gu Qiang and said, "My mom and I are going to buy some candy so we can thank Brother Gouwa and ask Uncle and Aunt to save me."

Dad, I haven't had your cooking in so long. I really want to eat your cooking today. Can you cook lunch later?

When Gu Qiang heard Gu Rong's words, he felt that the two of them were hiding something from him, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

But then he thought, if they went out to do something, maybe he could discover something by following them.

So Gu Qiang smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, Dad will show you his skills today. You two go and come back quickly, I'll be waiting for you at home."

Rong Xin quickly chimed in, "Okay, then we'll leave the house to you. We'll bring Xiao Xing back when we get back."

"Okay, you can go ahead," Gu Qiang said, waving to the two men from the doorway.

Once the two had left the alley and were out of sight, Gu Qiang followed them from the other side.

As Gu Rong and Rong Xin left, Gu Rong grabbed Rong Xin's arm after they exited the alley, preventing her from going any further.

Instead, Gu Rong turned and walked back to the alley entrance, tugging at Rong Xin's arm: "Don't move yet, let me take a look."

Rong Xin was confused, but she knew how to obey, as her father had instructed her before he left. So she stood behind Gu Rong without saying a word, watching her movements.

Gu Rong tilted her head and looked into the alley. After locking the door, Gu Qiang walked in the opposite direction and then tugged at Rong Xin's arm: "Look at your good husband. He said he would cook at home, but he went out immediately after we left."

Rong Xin looked in the direction Gu Rong indicated, her expression changed, and then she took Gu Rong's hand and said, "Your father probably felt that there wasn't enough food at home, so he went to buy some."

"You wanted to see the house, right? I'll take you there now. Let's not waste time arguing here."

Gu Rong tilted her head and stared at Rong Xin, then took her hand. After making sure no one was around, she quietly placed invisibility talismans on the two of them.

Gu Rong held Rong Xin's hand and whispered, "Mom, don't say anything, just come with me and you'll see."

Rong Xin looked at her like that and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Silently holding Gu Rong's hand, Rong Xin took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, Mom will go with you."

The two followed Gu Qiang silently, watching the direction he walked, which gradually overlapped with the path that Gu Rong and Rong Xin had just taken.

Furthermore, Gu Qiang didn't just walk by openly; instead, he hid in the shadows and observed the situation at the intersection, as if he were watching someone.

If the roads ahead overlapped, it might be a coincidence, but Gu Qiang hiding in this dark place clearly meant he was lying in wait.

Gu Rong knew that he was staking out them, trying to see if the Rong family had left anything behind.

As for Rong Xin...
