Then he stood up and said to Gu Lingxiao, "None of my things are missing."
Gu Lingxiao didn't open his bag; it only contained a few changes of clothes, so it didn't matter whether he looked at it or not.
"Let's go! Let's find another place to stay."
They all chose not to make things difficult for the people at the guesthouse, which suggests that Hu Gang must have considerable influence, otherwise they wouldn't have been so afraid.
The guesthouse door only opened after they had walked away.
The manager sighed, "They offended King Hu, there's nothing I can do. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."
"Manager, we've done everything we could. We've packed everything up for them and ensured they didn't suffer any losses..."
"That's right, if we go by Lao Hu's idea, it means they should kick the people out."
The manager shook his head. "You can't be so dishonest. They were obviously tough guys, and it's already quite good that they left so readily. I thought they were going to cause trouble!"
"That's true. I was actually prepared to fight, but they didn't make a move. They seem to be quite reasonable!"
"Hahahaha! You think you can beat him? That guy looks like a soldier, all muscle!"
"I--"
The group of them were playfully bickering, and for them, the incident passed just like that.

They then went to several guesthouses, some of which refused to see them based on their accents, or found something amiss during registration and then said the rooms were fully booked.
A group of people were standing on the curb.
Guo Chen said, "Otherwise, you can go to the guesthouse I'm staying at. I refuse to believe that person has that much power!"
Even if he didn't understand, he would realize that they had offended someone, and that person was a local tyrant. The purpose was obvious: to make it impossible for them to stay and then force them to leave.
If they don't leave voluntarily, something even bigger might happen next.
Gu Lingxiao glanced behind him and saw someone acting suspiciously in the alley not far away. They had been following him for several blocks, so this person must be one of Hu Gang's men.
"We can go to the military guesthouse."
Lu Zhixia was wondering where she could rest when she heard his words and suddenly understood.
"That's right! How come I didn't think of that? No matter how much he interferes, he can't get to that point."
Guo Chen: "Can you tell me what happened? Who is so powerful?"
Gu Lingxiao saw how eager he was to know, and considering that if he continued to follow, they could leave by car tomorrow, but this guy would have to stay and continue working.
So I told him, "We caught a hooligan on the bus today. The man claimed to be Hu Gang's son."
When Guo Chen heard the name Hu Gang, it sounded familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized he had heard others mention it before.
"I've heard people talk about Hu Gang. They say he has connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, and there's nothing he can't handle."
Gu Lingxiao: "So he doesn't want us to stay here now. Once we leave, he can get the people out."
Guo Chen: "What you said makes sense. That's probably what he's thinking."
Gu Lingxiao said, "We're being followed right now. I advise you not to stay with us. If you get targeted, you'll be in big trouble."
Guo Chen shrugged and said, "He wouldn't dare touch me, because the people behind me are no pushovers either. If he does, others won't let him off the hook either!"
Gu Lingxiao: "Oh? From what you're saying, the person behind you is quite powerful?"
Guo Chen was not comfortable revealing that kind of thing, but knowing that he meant well, she said...
"Anyway, I'll be fine. Shall we go to the military guesthouse next?"
Gu Lingxiao said, "No rush. Let's go to a restaurant first. I need to talk to someone else."
Lu Zhixia looked at Zhuang Ran, who still looked innocent and unaware of what had happened. She said to Gu Lingxiao, "Talk to Xiao Fu later and see if Zhuang Ran can go back with them instead of following us."
Gu Lingxiao: "Okay, I thought so even if you hadn't said it."
Guo Chen was jealous of the chemistry between the two of them, feeling like he couldn't get in, but he didn't want to give up.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the restaurant."
So they changed direction and headed towards the small restaurant, but because they were carrying a lot of things, they walked a little slower.
As soon as I arrived at the restaurant entrance, I saw Fu Yanlin smoking at the entrance.
Gu Lingxiao glanced back and saw the furtive person again, but this time there was another person, and they were talking in hushed tones.
Then one of them turned and left, looking hurried.
This is clearly a tip-off; it looks like there's going to be a tough battle tonight.
Fu Yanlin walked over and immediately noticed that something was off about the person opposite him.
Was that person with you?
