The people next door perked up instantly upon hearing Gu Rong's words.

The four of them quickly went outside. The dog stood furtively at the door, watching Gu Rong struggle to look at the large package as she walked towards the back mountain.

The four of them followed cautiously behind Gu Rong.

Meanwhile, Liu Daxue and the others from the Han family had just woken up because they had inhaled too much sleeping pills.

If things had gone according to the old rules, Wan Qing would definitely have checked on Liu Daxue and the others if they hadn't come out.

But what happened yesterday made the family think that they didn't want to face reality, which was why they didn't want to come out.

In reality, Liu Daxue wanted to use a sleeping drug to secretly drug the guards and let Han Jiameng go.

Just stay away for a while, and come back after everyone has forgotten about it.

After getting up from the ground, Liu Daxue felt completely exhausted.

Pushing open the door and looking out into the bright light, I froze in place.

Wan Qing had just returned from outside when he saw Liu Daxue standing there.

Although still a little unhappy, she still went up to ask, "Mother, you've finally come out. We were worried because you and my brother's family didn't come out all day. Are you hungry? I'll go make you something."

"A day?" Liu Daxue grabbed Wan Qing's arm. "You said a day has passed? What about Jia Meng?"

Thinking about the embarrassment of the day, Wan Qing couldn't help but get angry when she saw Liu Daxue trying to drag them into the mess: "Mother, we really can't help Jiameng and He Qi with their matter."

Early this morning, people from the Women's Federation and the Public Security Bureau came and said they had heard a report about someone having an affair, so they took the person away for investigation.

And from what I heard, if this matter is settled, it will be used as a precedent. Although I also feel it's a pity, this whole mess is beyond our control.”

Qi Wan, who had just woken up, heard what Wan Qing was saying outside.

With his weak hand, he barely managed to push open the door, his face pale as he asked, "What...you said, you said Jiameng was sent in?"

Wan Qing didn't care about anything else and answered the question directly: "Yes, sister-in-law, the people from the Public Security Bureau and the Women's Federation came to escort us."

"Impossible, impossible," Qi Wan thought, believing there was still room for things to turn around.

Hearing Wan Qing's words, Qi Wan felt as if her son had already been executed, and she fainted immediately.

Liu Daxue also seemed unsteady on her feet; one fell to the ground, and the other was about to faint. Wan Qing was momentarily at a loss as to who to help.

It was Han Zhengbao who came out, held Qi Wan in his arms, and pinched her philtrum until she slowly recovered.

Liu Daxue was helped into the room and looked at the bamboo tube on the ground: "Third brother's wife, give me that thing."

"This?" Wan Qing picked up the bamboo tube, looked it over, but couldn't see anything special about it.

He walked over to Liu Daxue, handed her the bamboo tube, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mother, what is this?"

He took the bamboo tube, looked at the burning tube, and his face turned pale.

He waved his hand impatiently, shooing Wan Qing out: "Don't worry about that, go out and cook, I'm hungry."

Seeing Liu Daxue's expression, Wan Qing sensed something was amiss. His gaze fell on the bamboo tube, and he asked, "What would you like to eat? Noodles or cornbread? Stir-fried wild vegetables or leafy greens? Or perhaps I could make you a steamed egg custard?"

"Whatever, get out of here," Liu Daxue said impatiently, stuffing the bamboo tube into her pocket and shooing the person out, then slamming the door shut.

"Tch, who wants to see that?" Wan Qing spat in dissatisfaction.

Liu Daxue opened the window, letting in the light to look at the burn marks inside the bamboo tube.

Liu Daxue couldn't help but recall the dream she had when Yanru was born, and wondered if this was retribution? Was it her destiny to dream of home?

But if it weren't for the divine intervention that woke her up, the bamboo tube would have caught fire last night, even though she was alone in her room.

Moreover, according to Wan Qing, the eldest son's family hadn't woken up for a day either.

Looking at the bamboo tube in her hand, Liu Daxue became even more convinced that this was a reminder from heaven.

This... is the fate of Jiameng!

Upon reaching the back of the mountain, Gu Rong deliberately slowed down to ensure that the people behind her could keep up.

But looking at Chu Jianshu not far away, Gu Rong was a little confused and asked with a frown, "You.....".

Chu Jianshu shrugged indifferently and explained, "I just came back from work. I saw you were carrying something heavy, so I'll help you."

"No need, you should leave now," Gu Rong said, refusing and trying to get Chu Jianshu to leave.

"There are people following us, and they've already seen us together. If I leave now, they'll suspect something."

"The sack is quite heavy, let me do it," Chu Jianshu ignored her completely and reached out to take the sack from her shoulder.

Someone volunteered to do the hard labor, and Gu Rong let go, with Chu Jianshu taking the sack away.

He then walked ahead, leading a group of people into the mountains.

She had no destination in mind; she just wanted to run around with the little tail following behind her.

Moreover, after taking the stamina pills, she could climb mountains and go to the sea with ease, and just wandered around the mountains.

Gu Qiang has held a high position all these years, and he probably spends most of his time in bed.

After wandering around the mountain for more than an hour, Gu Qiang was already exhausted.

Seeing that Sun Shi also looked tired, Gu Qiang said with trembling legs, "Brother Sun, shall we take a rest?"

Sun Shi glared at Gu Qiang: "Rest? Why don't you go and ask Gu Rong and Chu Jianshu if they're resting or not, and tell them to wait for you?"

Gu Qiang was speechless after being rebuked with just one sentence.

Gu Rong, who was walking ahead, turned her head to look at Chu Jianshu when she saw the small hill in the distance. She raised her eyebrows at him, signaling him to follow.

Taking advantage of the fact that the people behind them hadn't reacted yet, the two quickened their pace and started running.

Before the people behind them could react, Gu Rong and Chu Jianshu had already disappeared by the time they caught up.

After looking around for a while, they still couldn't find the two of them.

Sun Shiqi kicked the tree, "Damn it."

She glared at Gu Qiang, still angry, and kicked him a few more times: "It's all your fault for walking so slowly, damn it."

Seeing Gu Qiang curled up on the ground, Lin Qi stepped forward to stop him: "Alright, alright, Brother Sun, he's still useful. It would be a waste if he couldn't walk and died on the mountain."

Sun Shishang kicked him again: "I'll let you off this time, but starting tomorrow, you'll get up at four in the morning and run twenty laps around the village every morning and evening. If you miss even one lap, you won't get any food. Go down the mountain."

Having shaken off the others, Gu Rong and Chu Jianshu had already descended the mountain ahead of them.

When they got home, a group of people were waiting for the two to return.

Only when the two returned did I finally relax.

Gu Xing frowned, looking at the completely dark sky, and pulled Gu Rong's arm to scold her: "Don't you know it's dangerous at night? Look at the time of day!"

"Brother~~ it wasn't dark when I left, who knew it would get dark so quickly," she said, pulling Chu Jianshu out to block him from view.

"Besides, I have Jian Shu with me. He's such a strong guy, he can definitely protect me, right, Jian Shu?"

"Yes, I'll protect you," Chu Jianshu nodded with a smile. "Brother, we just went to get some firewood. We didn't pay attention to the time. It won't happen again next time."
