"Didn't you plan to scare him a little? Then let's proceed as planned. I'll cover for you."
Liu Jiu was also angry, but she was a few years older than Sanqi and would consider things more carefully.
“Really, we have nothing to do tonight. Didn’t you say he goes to the park across the street the night before his day off? We can create a little ‘surprise’ when he comes back.”
"Okay, I originally wanted to use Grandma's matter to make him feel guilty, but after discovering his secret, I decided to give up. He doesn't deserve it."
However, I learned some things about Gu Beisheng. He liked to listen to songs, especially those from Hong Kong, and he would often play them late at night, which annoyed his neighbors to no end.
"If we secretly play music when Gu Xiangdong comes home at night, we'll scare him half to death."
Liu Jiu thought the method was acceptable; they needed to uphold basic human decency. A minor punishment was fine, but anything that could endanger lives was unacceptable. Given Xu Fang's current state, who knew what she might do? Their instructors had said they needed to learn to respect life in order to better protect the people and themselves.
The siblings plotted for a long time to ensure the plan would go perfectly.
In winter, everything in the north is covered in white. Liu Jiu and San Qi specially wore the white down jackets that their aunt mailed to them, which were said to be this year's new style.
Wearing long down jackets and their hoods, they walked through the snow-covered park, almost blending into the environment.

Liu Jiu and San Qi watched from afar until he entered the woman's house. Only then did the siblings turn back and lay in ambush on the road that Gu Xiangdong would inevitably take on his return.
The two men lay in ambush, quietly waiting for their prey to arrive.
More than half an hour later, they heard Gu Xiangdong's footsteps coming out. Liu Jiu was quite good at recognizing people by their voices and wouldn't mistake one for another.
As Gu Xiangdong entered the area they had set up, Sanqi turned on the tape recorder, and a song began to play. At the same time, Liujiu pulled on a rope and shook the tree vigorously, causing the snow on the tree to fall.
In the quiet night, the sudden singing and the inexplicable falling snow sent a chill down Gu Xiangdong's spine. Could it be Gu Bei? Had he discovered his secret and was waiting here to warn him?
Gu Xiangdong had imagined a whole drama unfolding before his eyes, scaring himself half to death. He ran while yelling, "Gu Bei, don't come looking for me, I'm just too lonely..."
Surprisingly, the man in his seventies was quite agile and disappeared in no time.
Liu Jiu put away the rope, erased all traces of her and San Qi, and the two went home happily.
