Gu Tingzhi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. Relieved that she was alright, his initial worry subsided, but anger welled up within him. "I told you long ago to stay obediently in the village and not go anywhere. Why didn't you listen?"
Meng Fuyan pursed her lips, looking at him with a wronged expression. "I just want to know if those people are his biological children, and whether he has anything to do with my mother's death. I... I won't do it again!"
At this point, nothing solves the problem faster than admitting your mistake.
Sure enough, once she admitted her mistake and acted aggrieved, Gu Tingzhi couldn't bear to blame her. He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll let you off the hook for now. I'll deal with you after I finish this. You go down the mountain first. Xu Jing, take her with you."
Meng Fuyan was taken aback. "Aren't you leaving?"
Gu Tingzhi shook his head, "Since we've encountered such a large human trafficking ring, we should naturally crack down on it, otherwise even more people will suffer. I'll go and investigate first."
Meng Fuyan looked at them; there were only three of them. She was a little worried. "I just took a look. There's a granary over there, but I don't know exactly how much grain it has.

I didn't dare go to the main house, and I don't know if there's an armory here. It's too dangerous for you to investigate further. Why don't you go back and find some people?"
Seeing her concern for him, Gu Tingzhi gently ruffled her hair and said softly, "It's alright, I know what I'm doing. You have to trust me, I'm a professional. I'll have Xu Jing take you back first. I'll just investigate a bit, and I'll catch up with you soon, okay?"
Judging from his appearance, he must have known some information beforehand. He probably came here this time to completely wipe out these people. That's what he did in his previous life. It's just that his path is smoother and he has more power in this life, so he did it earlier.
"Then... be careful!"
"Um!"
