Old Wei looked to the side, where Gu Qiang, who was peeking out from the doorway, said, "I just came by and said I'd return the money to you."

But someone next door said it was his son's house and took the money. We were worried they were scammers, so we waited a little longer. We wanted to ask about your relationship.

Looking at the strange person, Cao Baobao had a bad feeling: "We calculated the money correctly at the time, but as for the money you gave me, you should ask for it back yourself."

As he spoke, he pulled Han Xinyi and Han Xinyun back to the courtyard, and even locked the door behind them, which had been left open all along.

Seeing this, Old Wei outside the door fixed his sinister gaze on Gu Qiang.

Seeing this, Gu Qiang showed no fear whatsoever; in fact, he was even somewhat excited.

He walked straight out of the door and said, "Brother, would it be convenient for us to go over there and have a chat?"

Following Gu Qiang's hand, they discovered that he was pointing to the place where Lao Han was.

Seeing this, Lao Wei gave Lao Han a wink, and the other nodded: "Okay, let's go over there."

But you'd better think carefully about how to explain this. If you lie to us brothers, you'll be in big trouble.

"I'll make sure you're satisfied," the two thought they were hiding their true intentions, but in reality, Gu Qiang had seen everything they were doing.

After all, in this day and age, even the most conscientious person wouldn't go on a large-scale search for people for just one dollar.

Moreover, as soon as Lao Han and Lao Wei appeared, he could tell the difference between the two.

Although his aura wasn't as fierce as Sun Shi's, it was still one that had taken lives.

They found us like this; it must be because Cao Baobao and Gu Rong found something at the recycling station the day before yesterday.

The other party was also after something, and he was also after something, so Gu Qiang felt that these two could be used.

If we don't use these two people, the three of them alone won't be able to take anything away even if they find it.

If you tell Sun Shi that they've taken the things, at best he'll survive, at worst his whole family will perish.

If we can cooperate with these two, perhaps we can not only get our hands on the goods, but also Sun Shi and Lin Qi...

After all, in such a desolate place in the mountains, losing one or two people is not a big deal.

Even if someone were to search for it, with so many wild animals in the mountains, what they find might not be intact.

Walking up to Lao Han, Gu Qiang glanced around and said, "You came here not just to give money, right? It must be for something else, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Han's eyes sharpened instantly. He placed his hands behind his back and stared at Gu Qiang without any emotion in his eyes.

Old Wei nudged the other man's hand and looked at Gu Qiang with a smile: "Brother, do you know something?"

Gu Qiang pretended not to notice and replied with a smile, "Back then, did you know about the Rong family in the capital?"

The two were surprised when Gu Qiang suddenly brought this up.

Although they didn't know how rich the Rong family was, back then, the extent of their wealth was probably known to everyone in the country.

The fact that the Rong family was forced to go abroad later was a hot topic of discussion at the time.

Old Han: "Are you talking about the Rong family, the richest family in Beijing back then? The Rong family that later donated most of their wealth to save the country, and were forced to leave the country after being slandered?"

“Yes,” Gu Qiang thought for a moment and explained, “Back then, the Rong family was so rich, how could they have donated it all? In fact, they kept a lot.”

Even when we went abroad, we couldn't fit everything on the ship; we left a lot behind and hid it. My surname is Gu, and the girl who broke off ties with the Rong family back then married me.

The family next door is indeed my son and daughter's family. They are the Rong family's grandson and granddaughter. After I discovered the Rong family's belongings, the two of them went straight to the countryside.

They even used their connections to sever ties with me. They have connections above them, and they fabricated charges against me, trying to kill me.

I was later rescued, and the other party asked me to find the Rong family's treasure. I have now found its location, but the other party has too many people, and the people sent from above have not yet arrived.

I think you guys are pretty good, so I was thinking if you wanted to cooperate. After it's done, I can decide to give you a few boxes as a reward for your hard work. You can consider it.”

"Are you really...?" Old Wei couldn't believe that someone connected to that legendary mission would actually appear before them.

"It's me, but we don't know each other and we have no business dealings. I have no reason to lie to you," Gu Qiang said calmly.

Old Wei thought that if there were benefits, he could do it, but Old Han thought a little more: "Since you say it's your child, why don't you just ask for it directly?"

Since you're related by blood, explain the reasons and the stakes involved, and they'll definitely believe you.

Even if they didn't want to, your superiors could have rescued you. Why not just take them back for questioning? Why resort to this method?

Gu Qiang sighed upon hearing this, then put on a heartbroken expression: "Actually, I didn't want it to be like this either, but the two children are stubborn and think I've ruined their mother's life."

Later, I had to take care of my family and support them, so I married a woman to take care of them. But that woman was too good at pretending. She treated them badly in front of me but behind my back, which made them resent her even more.

If they don't get the stuff, their superiors will kill them. For their sake, I have no other choice.

But think about it, what use is anything you have if you're dead?

After Gu Qiang finished speaking, seeing that the two of them still didn't speak, he continued, "What I'm giving you is what the higher-ups promised me. I don't want any of it; I'm giving it all to you."

"When they arrive later, if you're capable, I won't stop you from asking for more. I'd even be willing to put in a good word for you. What do you think of this?"

Old Wei wanted to agree immediately, but Old Han thought about it more.

Stopping the agitated Lao Wei, Lao Han stared at Gu Qiang and said, "From what you've said, this is too dangerous. We're just ordinary people, we need to think this over carefully."

Gu Qiang shrugged indifferently: "Of course, but you need to consider it as soon as possible."

I've already made a discovery over there, and I believe I'll be able to find where the item was placed in a few days.

Moreover, Beijing has already increased its manpower. If they wait for others to arrive, you might not be there...

"Okay, we'll think about it carefully and come back to you when we've thought it through," Lao Han said, pulling the anxious Lao Wei along as they quickly walked out of the village.

Gu Rong stood there, smiling as she watched the two leave.

As soon as the two left the village, Old Wei shook off Old Han's hand: "Why don't you agree to such a good deal? Those are Rong family's things, any one of them is priceless."

Lao Han rolled his eyes at Lao Wei, thinking that he would be driven crazy by Lao Wei sooner or later.

He slapped Old Wei on the back of the head: "Are you stupid? You believe whatever he says? I could say I'm a member of the Rong family, would you believe that?"

Besides, if he says he has something, we can go and see for ourselves. If it really is something, why go through him? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for ourselves?

Old Wei waved his hand fearfully: "No, no, we're just two ordinary people. You heard what that person said about having someone backing him. If we're found out, we're all doomed."

"Let's go home first. I'll let you know about this later," Lao Han said, glancing at Hanjiacun before pulling Lao Wei away.
