Lin Qi instantly understood what the other party meant, and a big smile appeared on his lips. He knew that Sun Shi was not the kind of kind person.

But thinking of the two people at home, Lin Qi couldn't help but ask, "I understand, brother. I'll go prepare now, but what about Gu Qiang and Bai Rou?"

“Bai Rou is alright, keep her if you can’t bear to part with her. As for Gu Qiang…” Sun Shi pointed in the direction the two had just left: “The same as them.”

"Okay, brother, I'll get right on it," Lin Qi said with a smile, feeling that his chances of finding the treasure had increased. He ran back home.

Sun Shi stared at Lin Qi's back, shook his head, and then walked towards the village entrance.

When Lin Qi arrived home, he found that Bai Rou and Gu Qiang were not there.

This discovery made Lin Qi frown.

He walked into the kitchen, looked at the people cooking inside, and asked, "Do you know where that couple next door went?"

Looking at the landlord, the woman couldn't help but smile and reply, "Comrade Bai just said that Comrade Gu told her to cook some good wine and dishes tonight and then go to the village to exchange for things."

I really don't know when Comrade Gu left; maybe the two of them went together.

They've been gone for a while now. I checked the time; they should be back soon.

Upon hearing the woman's words, Lin Qi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Gu Qiang had also noticed something amiss?

However, he wasn't in a hurry. After all, the other party trusted Bai Rou and arranged for her to get things done. He just needed to wait for Bai Rou to come back.

Gu Rong, who was in the next room, sat on the bed early after lunch, staring at the location and real-time recording on the panel.

Bai Rou was buying groceries in the village.

She felt that Gu Qiang and Sun Shi were quite important.

But listening to Sun Shi's voice, it sounded like he was still walking, as if he was in a hurry, so I turned it off.

Then I opened Gu Qiang's recording and adjusted the recording speed.

When Gu Rong heard Gu Qiang's voice, she stopped adjusting her hands.

After Bai Rou went out to exchange vegetables, Gu Qiang went up the mountain to find Lao Han and Lao Wei.

After searching for a long time, they finally found the two hiding places.

But when he saw the wounds on the two of them, he didn't know if they could recover, and he was afraid it would affect his plans for the night.

Gu Qiang frowned and asked, "What happened to you? Your faces are covered in injuries? Can you even move?"

Hearing Gu Qiang's voice, a cold glint flashed in Lao Han's eyes.

But remembering what that person had told him, Lao Han tugged at Lao Wei's arm, who was angry, and said to Gu Qiang with a smile, "We're just sparring to practice our skills."

"I got a little carried away and didn't hold back, and this is how it ended up. You came to us, so it's time for us to take action."

Gu Rong stated her purpose directly: "Yes, the operation will take place tonight. You can stay here until then. I will come to you tonight to make further arrangements."

"Okay," Lao Han nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Gu Qiang gave Lao Han a deep look, then turned and walked up the mountain.

He quickly walked to the cave where the items were hidden, squatted down in the grass, and watched what was happening inside.

The Zhang brothers, Huan and Xi, noticed him as soon as he appeared at the door.

Seeing this, Zhang Xi kicked the stool next to him and said, "Xiao Huan, what kind of life do you live every day?"

There's nothing to eat or drink, and if we want some meat, we have to rely on ourselves. When are we going to get rid of all this stuff?

Seeing his unhappy brother, Zhang Huan sighed: "Brother, there's been a problem over there, it'll be a few more days, don't worry."

Hearing this, Zhang Xi glanced inside and then said in a low voice, "Xiao Huan, you said there's so much stuff, we can just take some back. Why do we need to work so hard? What do you think...?"

"Brother, no, those belong to the employer, we can't take them," Zhang Huan said, then pointed into the cave.

"Those three inside are always very rigid and not so easy to fool. If we are discovered, we won't be able to stay here anymore."

"That's easy, just throw some medicine in, and..." Zhang Xi nudged his younger brother's shoulder, seeing his dilemma.

"We've done this so many times before, what are you afraid of this time? Think about how good life we ​​had before, don't you want to find another woman?"

Hearing his brother's loose tongue, Zhang Huan felt a little embarrassed.

With a flushed face, she glared at Zhang Xi and said, "Of course you can make a move, but we're on the mountain right now and have no chance to come down. How are we supposed to do that?"

"Let me think about it," Zhang Xi said, scratching his head and pretending to ponder.

Hearing this, Gu Qiang, who was hiding in the bushes, hesitated for a long time before coming out.

When Zhang Xi saw the man who suddenly appeared, she panicked for a moment, then immediately shouted, "Who are you? When did you get here? How much of our conversation did you hear?"

Gu Qiang stood at a distance and said with a smile, "I heard your conversation, but I'm not here to sabotage you, I'm here to join you."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Zhang Huan took two steps back, pretending to walk into the cave.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qiang quickly revealed his purpose: "I also came for the things in the cave. I have the sleeping potion you mentioned, and I can give it to you."

We can divide the contents among ourselves; I'll take one portion, and the remaining two are yours.”

"Are you sure you have it? Just one copy?" Zhang Xi glanced at Gu Qiang in disbelief.

Gu Qiang nodded seriously: "Of course, I only need one copy, but I want to act tonight, and then we'll transport everything out together."

Upon hearing "tonight," Zhang Xi was momentarily stunned: "Tonight? Isn't that a bit too fast?"

Gu Qiang stated his plan directly and frankly: "I was planning to take action tonight anyway. You can choose to cooperate, or you can choose to report me."

But if you complain, you'll lose everything. If you cooperate with me, you'll get the lion's share. Why not?

Zhang Xi thought for a moment. He knew he had to complain, but he couldn't say it now.

After some hesitation, he said, "We agree. Tonight it is. Send the medicine over as soon as possible, and it would be best to also bring some meat and wine, so that it will be easier to knock them out."

"Don't worry, the things will be delivered before tonight," Gu Qiang said, then turned and left. However, after taking a few steps, he hid himself and secretly listened to the sounds coming from the cave entrance.

The two thought they wouldn't have to act anymore now that Gu Qiang was gone, but they didn't expect him to hide again. They really must be blind!

Zhang Huan sighed and said, "Brother, are we really going to cooperate with him? I feel like he's a liar."

"So what if he's a liar?" Zhang Xi patted his younger brother on the shoulder. "If he were really capable, would he be asking us for help?"

So we'll definitely get a share of those things, and maybe we can even take them all.
