However, Gu Nini did not follow.
After all, she had anticipated Gu Qingqing's reaction.
Rather than doing that, it's better to stay at home.
As for Gu Qingqing, she was completely unaware that the gold in her pocket had vanished, and she was now quickly heading towards the black market.
When she arrived at the black market, she went straight inside.
For some reason, the black market is now much less crowded, and even the number of vendors has decreased significantly.
However, Gu Qingqing, who rarely visited the black market, couldn't tell the difference.
If she hadn't come here with her older brother because she thought it was fun, she really wouldn't have known that there was a black market in Beijing.
Soon, she arrived at a stall that advertised buying and selling gold.
She took a deep breath, walked over, and asked the middle-aged man at the stall, "Hello, how much do you charge for gold here?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the young girl in front of him and answered directly, "If the purity is high enough, it's 10 yuan per gram."
Gu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat.
This gold is indeed valuable.
So she touched her pocket, intending to take out the small piece of gold, but when she touched her pocket, she found it was empty.
Her expression changed drastically.
Ignoring the middle-aged man's expression, she continued searching in her pockets.
She even searched all her pockets, but couldn't find the small piece of gold anywhere.
"How could this be? I checked before I came out, how could it have disappeared here?"
"Could it have been lost on the way?"
Thinking of this, Gu Qingqing couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly walked back along the road, her eyes fixed on the ground, afraid of missing anything.
As for the middle-aged man, his face was full of mockery when he saw Gu Qingqing's appearance.
"This little girl probably secretly stole some gold from home, wanted to exchange it for money, but was robbed by pickpockets without realizing it, and thought she had lost it?"
"Sigh, another sad person has been added to Beijing tonight..."
"However, the black market for gold is becoming increasingly dangerous. Let's take a break tomorrow after we finish today's work, lest we all be wiped out!"
A middle-aged man mutters to himself.
As for Gu Qingqing, she walked all the way from the black market back to Nini's house, but she still couldn't find her little piece of gold.
This infuriated her.
Keep in mind that even this small piece weighs more than 20 grams.
One gram costs 10 yuan, so 20 grams would cost 200 yuan.
In the past, she definitely wouldn't have cared about 200 yuan, but the problem is that she's short of money now.
She had no money in her pocket.
This 200 yuan is crucial.
She carefully checked Gu Nini's house for a while, and after finding nothing, she angrily walked back home along the road.
Even after finding her home, she couldn't find the small piece of gold.
She knew that it had most likely been picked up by someone, or stolen.
"I'm so angry! It must be because I saw that bitch that I'm having such bad luck. I should have gone to exchange the money first!"
Gu Qingqing was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
She then went to the kitchen, intending to take another piece from the woodpile and exchange it for money.
However, after searching for a while, she was stunned.
She discovered that the three small pieces of gold that she had placed in the woodpile were also missing.
It vanished without a trace.
This startled her.
"What happened? How come the gold is gone?"
Who took it?
"I clearly hid it here, so who would come to search the woodpile? Besides, the woodpile wasn't messy, so logically no one should have searched it. So where did the gold go?"
