Gu Rong strolled around the village for a while, and seeing that it was time for her brother and the others to finish work, she went back home.

Sure enough, not long after she got home, Gu Xing and the others also returned.

Gu Rong stepped forward: "Brother, I have something to tell you. Let's go next door and talk."

Gu Xing and Chu Jianshu exchanged a glance, then called Li Chengyang, and the four of them went to the next room.

Upon arrival, the three closed the courtyard gate and sat down in the main room to chat.

Gu Rong directly relayed what she had overheard: "I overheard them talking; they're planning to make their move tonight."

A conflict arose between Gu Qiang and Sun Shi, and they each tried to take the spoils for themselves. Gu Qiang planned to drug the other, and it seems that Sun Shi discovered this as well.

Sun Shi also called a lot of people, Gu Qiang estimated it wouldn't work, just us and a few people on the mountain definitely wouldn't be enough, do you have any other arrangements?"

Gu Rong asked this question to confirm whether Gu Xing and his group could resolve the issue through overt means.

If that doesn't work, she'll have to take matters into her own hands.

Upon hearing Gu Rong's words, Gu Xing frowned and, after a moment's thought, said, "The arrangements here are complete, but most people are not on the mountain yet."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jianshu asked, "Do you know roughly what time they will make their move?"

Gu Rong knew that Gu Xing and the others worked until around four o'clock every day.

Sun Shi and the others wouldn't start until nine o'clock, so there was plenty of time. She wasn't in such a hurry to talk to them in the afternoon, but instead spent the time observing the route up and down the mountain.

Gu Rong thought for a moment and said, "It has to start around 8 or 9 pm, but it's not too late to call people now."

Chu Jianshu continued, "I'll go to town with Chengyang in a bit, you guys just wait at home."

While you're at it, listen to what's going on next door. After we finish eating, you go wait in the cave behind the mountain. Leave the house to Xiao Rong and Putao. Just tell them to check on the next house later.

Gu Xing nodded: "Okay, let's do it this way. You guys go first. Don't worry about home, just leave it to me and Pu Tao. Be careful."

"Don't worry," Chu Jianshu said to Li Chengyang before preparing to go up the mountain.

Seeing this, Gu Rong stood up, walked to the two of them, and gave each of them a hug.

He then patted the two of them on the shoulder: "You must be careful. No matter what, your lives are the most important thing."

Looking at Gu Rong, who was concerned about him, Chu Jianshu really wanted to hug her back, but now was not the time: "Yes, I will. You all take care."

The two quickly went out the door and walked briskly up the mountain.

They had only gone halfway when they saw Zhang Xi coming down. After explaining the situation to him, Chu Jianshu and Zhang Xi headed towards the town.

After Gu Xing returned home, he called Pu Tao aside and said, "I'm going out tonight. Jian Shu and Cheng Yang won't be here either."

I'd like to trouble you to stay home and look after them for a while. Don't open the door tonight unless it's someone from our family, especially those neighbors. What do you think?

Although I don't understand what they're up to, judging from how busy they've been these past few days, it must be something big.

Moreover, the fact that he was suddenly asked to stay must mean there was still some danger involved.

Given their relationship and the fact that Cao Baobao was still living there, Pu Tao naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

Pu Tao replied with a smile: "Sure, bro. I've been having trouble understanding some books lately, so I'll have my baby and sister-in-law teach me."

Gu Xing patted his shoulder gratefully: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, let's eat."

After dinner, Gu Xing called Han Xinyi back to her room: "We're going up the mountain later. I'll have Pu Tao stay home. Don't open the door unless we come back, okay?"

"You..." Han Xinyi really wanted to ask what they were doing.

Seeing her expression, Gu Xing hugged her and said, "Don't worry, things will be resolved soon, and no one will bother us anymore."

Han Xinyi hugged Gu Xing back: "Then be careful, I'll take care of things at home, don't worry."

Reluctant to let go, Gu Xing walked out of the courtyard and glanced at Gu Rong.

Seeing that Gu Xing was about to leave, Gu Rong stepped forward and hugged him, saying, "Brother, be careful. If anything happens, shout and run down the mountain. I have good hearing, I'll definitely hear you."

"Don't worry," he said, patting Gu Rong on the shoulder before letting go and striding out of the house.

Following Gu Xing's instructions, Pu Tao didn't go home after dinner. Instead, he took his books to the main room and studied with Han Xinyi and Cao Baobao.

Gu Rong didn't want to learn, but she could see Han Xinyi's worry, so she sat next to her and occasionally asked a few questions to distract her.

In fact, Gu Rong's attention was entirely focused on the system panel.

When she hugged the three of them, she placed listening devices and locators on each of them.

It's like a tiny dot; once it comes into contact with the skin, it adheres tightly to the other person and slowly blends into their skin color.

She picked out this little thing to buy; it cost 4999 each, which is ridiculously expensive.

But if she doesn't buy it, and something really happens, she won't be able to monitor it at all.

After all, since the three of them are family, it's no big deal to spend a little money on her family's matter.

At this time, the neighbors are still eating, and my brother just went up the mountain to keep an eye on things.

Chu Jianshu and Li Chengyang were also on their way to town, and there wasn't much for them to hear.

Looking at her like that, Axi slowly floated out: "Master, don't you go out at night? You just stay at home?"

Gu Rong glanced at it, not understanding why A Xi was getting involved: "Why do you care about this?"

Glancing at his own panel, Axi scratched Liangliang's head and chuckled, "I'm just curious. Master, you're so powerful, you wouldn't just sit here and wait, right?"

Upon observing A-Xi's actions, Gu Rong immediately slumped onto the stool, leaning her head against the back of the chair: "They're all here, there's no point in me going over, so I won't go."

If you don't have anything else to do, you can go back to your social media profile. I don't want to see you here.

Seeing her expression, which truly suggested she didn't want to go, Axi panicked: "Master, how can you not go? What if something happens?"

"So many people can't handle it? One more of me and it'll be fine? Do you have anything to say?" Gu Rong looked at A Xi with confusion.

“Hehe,” A-Xi said, realizing she had been discovered: “Master, you know there are some things I can’t say.”

I can only remind you that if you don't go tonight, your hidden quest will fail, which will affect your future rewards.

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong couldn't help but roll her eyes: "I knew it, I know it. Go back now, I'll call you again if needed."

Seeing that the task was completed, Ah Xi was no longer in the way: "Alright, I'll send the message right away."

The moment A-Xi left, Gu Rong noticed fluctuations in the recording between Chu Jianshu and Li Chengyang.

Upon opening the recording of Chu Jianshu's words, Li Chengyang's voice could be heard: "Jianshu, do you really want to do this? Do you know what this means...?"
