Chapter 116 Sneaking Out



Rong Xin wasn't sure who had come in, and instinctively wanted to turn around and go back into the tunnel.

As the person outside pushed the door open and came in, it was completely too late.

The person who came in saw Rong Xin trying to walk away and immediately shouted, "Revolutionary Committee, stand still!"

Upon hearing the words "Revolutionary Committee," Rong Xin froze, slowly stopped in her tracks, and her heart pounded violently in her chest.

The group of people who entered approached her step by step, their eyes filled with scrutiny and wariness.

One of the men stepped forward, stared at Rong Xin, and said, "Rong Xin, right? Hello, I'm Fang Yan, the person in charge of the Revolutionary Committee. Is your father inside?"

Before Rong Xin could react, Fang Yan waved his hand behind him: "There are spies around here. For everyone's safety, cordon off this area and don't let anyone out."

Mr. Rong is probably not safe inside either. Go in and ask him to come out. The basement is the easiest place for people to hide, so remember to search carefully and don't miss any place. Be careful that someone doesn't hurt Mr. Rong.

"yes".

Rong Xin stood there, somewhat hesitant to move aside, after all, she remembered there were still things in the basement!

Rong Xin stepped to the side, blocking the entrance to the basement: "You say you're from the Revolutionary Committee, how can I be sure you are? How can I believe you're not a spy?"

"Hehe," Fang Yan chuckled, then his men behind him took out a piece of paper with their identities written on it.

Upon seeing the words "Revolutionary Committee," Rong Xin's heart sank.

But considering the situation inside, she had no choice but to stop them now.

As soon as Rong Liancheng came out, he saw the situation outside, tugged at Rong Xin's arm, and nodded to her.

Then, looking at Fang Yan across the way, he said with a smile, "Captain Fang, since you say there's a spy, you can go in and check."

It was dug during the war, and it's quite complicated. You'd probably get lost if you went in on your own. I don't have anything else to do here, so how about I take you in to look for it?

Seeing that he was calm and even offered to lead them there, Fang Yan couldn't help but wonder if the information from above was wrong.

But Rong Xin's expression just now didn't seem like there was nothing inside.

Fang Yan's eyes shifted repeatedly as he thought about the instructions from above. He knew he couldn't let this go; it was better to kill ten thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.

Fang Yan waved to his subordinates and smiled at Rong Liancheng: "Mr. Rong is getting old, and we're afraid there might be spies among us who could harm you."

However... since Mr. Rong was inside, we can't guarantee your safety. Please wait here with your daughter and granddaughter.

Rong Liancheng, Rong Xin, and Gu Rong were left in the courtyard and not allowed to leave, while Fang Yan led his men toward the underground passage.

After everyone else went inside, only three people remained upstairs to watch over them.

Rong Xin watched these people leave, her heart filled with worry, feeling utterly hopeless this time.

His gaze swept over the three people opposite him, and he leaned closer to Rong Liancheng and whispered, "Father, it's not safe here anymore."

I'll stop them in a bit. You take Rongbao and leave quickly to find your brother and the others, and hide with Mom and the others.

Rong Liancheng was deeply moved by what he saw for his daughter, but there was no need for such emotion, since Gu Rong had already taken the gifts.

The main thing is that they cannot hide anything or frame others; otherwise, it would be a miracle if they could find even one.

Pulling back his daughter who was about to attack, Rong Liancheng shook his head at her: "Captain Fang is a good man. He'll definitely let us go once he finds there's nothing inside. We just need to wait."

Although I don't know how my father managed to move all the things away overnight, and if the things were already gone, what would Rongbao have gone in to choose?

But upon hearing her father's words, Rong Xin instantly calmed down and stood aside with Gu Rong in her arms.

Gu Rong was extremely tired, but her three uncles outside were anxiously waiting, ready to make their move at any moment—they were all ticking time bombs, so she couldn't sleep yet.

Despite feeling sleepy, Gu Rong squirmed in Rong Xin's arms, instantly becoming as restless as her age: "Mommy, I want to pee, I want to pee, pee, I want Grandpa to come with me."

Seeing her expression, Rong Liancheng knew she was about to do something big, and he looked somewhat embarrassed at the group of people who were watching him.

He took out a few coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the hand of the man who seemed to be the leader: "Hey guys, this kid needs to use the restroom. I wonder if we could go with him?"

"After all, she's a girl, so it's better to be careful. We don't want to make things difficult for the young man, so we can just stay in the room over there. Is that alright with you?"

The leader looked down at the large black 10 in his hand, then at the house next door, and waved to the people behind him.

The other two went inside to investigate, but found nothing unusual. They came out and nodded to the leader.

Upon seeing this, the leader said to Rong Liancheng, "Okay, but your daughter has to stay outside. You take her with you."

"Thank you, thank you," Rong Liancheng said gratefully, pulling Gu Rong into the room.

Once inside, Gu Rong nodded, signaling Rong Liancheng to close his eyes.

Based on the previous harmonious operations, Rong Liancheng turned around and closed his eyes.

To avoid arousing suspicion from outsiders, Rong Liancheng turned around and said, "Rongbao, be good. Grandpa is right in front of you, don't be afraid. Be good."

"Hmm~", Gu Rong said, sticking the talisman on while cooperating with Rong Liancheng.

Before leaving after affixing the talisman, he poked Rong Liancheng with his hand, and then followed Axi's straight path, going directly through the wall to take the shortcut.

After arriving at the alley where Rong Fanyu was, Gu Rong found a secluded spot, quickly removed the talisman from her body, and ran towards the group.

Hearing the noise, Rong Fanyu turned around and was overjoyed to see Gu Rong.

After all, if Gu Rong is safe, it proves that her father and Rong Xin are also safe.

Just as he was about to speak, Gu Rong shook her head at him, then ran to his side and reached out for Rong Fanyu to pick her up.

Rong Fanyu bent down, picked the person up, and looked in the direction Gu Ronglai was coming from: "Where are your grandfather and mother?"

Gu Rong pointed in the direction of the courtyard, tilted her head, and said as if she was thinking, "Grandpa and Mom are in that courtyard, surrounded by a group of people. I sneaked out to use the toilet."

Grandpa told me to tell you that the things inside have been sent away. He told you to go home and wait. We'll go home after the inspection inside is finished. Remember to cook a good meal. Rongbao is very sleepy and will need to eat and sleep when we get home.

Hearing this, Rong Fanyu felt relieved.

Looking at Gu Rong's adorable face, he couldn't help but smile: "Then Rongbao, come back with us, and your uncle will make your favorite chicken, okay?"

Gu Rong shook her head and tried to slide down Rong Fanyu's arm: "Hmm~ No, someone's watching us. We have to go back. Grandpa's waiting!"
