Chapter 161 Reclaiming the Ship



Gu Rong turned to look at Han Jianshu, then took out the raft they had just arrived at. The two of them boarded the raft and glided towards the boat.

After the two approached, the first one went ashore.

They then circled the boat, but finding no one on board, they returned to shore.

Once ashore, Gu Rong observed the people not far away and found that there were only five or six of them in total, with only two on night watch and the other three already asleep.

Gu Rong leaned closer to Han Jianshu and whispered, "Wait for me here. I'll go knock them out and come back to find you later."

Han Jianshu looked at the people over there and shook his head at Gu Rong: "I'll go, you wait for me here."

"Okay," Gu Rong naturally wouldn't refuse if someone was willing to help, and directly threw the sleeping potion to him: "Just light it and throw it over there, I'll wait for you here."

Han Jianshu took the sleeping potion, crouched down, and cautiously approached the group, trying not to make a sound with each step.

When he got close enough, he didn't light the sleeping powder, but threw it directly into their fire.

After throwing it in, he quickly turned around and walked back.

When they reached the rock, Gu Rong took the initiative to walk over and grab his hand. The two looked at each other and waited for the person on the other side to faint.

Some people are physically weak, while others are physically strong. When one of them saw the person opposite him collapse to the ground and was about to shout a warning, the effects of the drug had already spread. He swayed and then collapsed limply.

The other three people who were sleeping were also drugged in their sleep and began to snore evenly.

Han Jianshu smiled at Gu Rong, looking smug: "It's done."

Gu Rong nodded, then quickly walked towards the boat.

After reaching the boat, Gu Rong simply waved his hand and took the boat away, which then disappeared from the spot.

Just where the ship disappeared, the seawater below swirled into a deep eddy, even stirring up a gust of wind.

Han Jianshu led Gu Rong away quickly.

Once the seawater calmed down, many fish and crabs appeared on the surface, and Gu Rong's eyes lit up.

After glancing at Han Jianshu, she tore off the invisibility talisman on her body. Han Jianshu knew what she was going to do just by looking at her, so he followed her onto the boat. The two of them then sat on the iron boat and began picking up seafood.

After picking them all up, they headed back the way they came.

However, it didn't travel in the original direction, but instead veered slightly to the side.

After all, the ocean is so vast. Those people were there to keep watch because the Rong family's ship was close by, to prevent the Rong family from escaping.

However, they turned back, not caring which route they took, as long as they got up there.

So the two of them took a slightly roundabout route and quickly went back to the guesthouse.

When they arrived at the guesthouse entrance, Gu Rong stopped Han Jianshu directly: "What? You still want to come into my room? Go to your own room."

As she spoke, Gu Rong reached out and ripped off all the talismans from Han Jianshu's body, then quickly entered the room.

Just as Han Jianshu was about to turn and leave, Rong Fanyu suddenly opened the door to the room.

Seeing Han Jianshu standing at the door, Rong Fanyu rubbed his eyes and asked, "Why are you up so early?"

Han Jianshu yawned and immediately thought of something: I didn't get up that early, I didn't sleep at all!

But he certainly couldn't say these things to Rong Fanyu, so he could only yawn and say, "I was still half asleep. I thought it would be morning soon, but it's not even dawn yet."

Uncle, I'm going back to sleep. Don't wake me up for breakfast. I noticed Rongbao was emotionally unstable yesterday, and I'm afraid she'll have another episode. Don't wake her up either; let her sleep until she wakes up naturally.

Looking at Han Jianshu, Rong Fanyu had a feeling that he had done something, and that it might even be related to Gu Rong. But when he came to his senses, Han Jianshu had already returned to his room.

Thinking about how tired the other person looked just now, I felt too embarrassed to knock on the door and ask again.

Rong Fanyu looked at Gu Rong and Han Jianshu's room door, finally sighed and went back to his own room. As for the rest, he would wait for his father to come and talk about it.

Gu Rong went into the room and lay on the bed, but for a moment she couldn't fall asleep, and couldn't help but think back on the day's experiences.

There were people watching her at the beach. Even if she had skills like invisibility, she couldn't make everyone invisible, nor could she make them all invisible, exposing them so completely.

However, if we don't use it, it will definitely be discovered. After all, such a large ship cannot leave quietly when there are people around.

Ultimately, she would still have to use the invisibility talisman, but she didn't want to reveal this, so she could only wait for Rong Liancheng to arrive.

There's no point in her thinking about it alone now; she can only wait until Rong Liancheng comes tomorrow.

Thinking this, Gu Rong lay down on the bed and fell asleep in no time. After all, she was really tired from working for so long.

Han Jianshu, who lives next door, has the same problem.

He helped these people only for Gu Rong's sake. If Gu Rong were to be harmed for the sake of others, that would be the one thing he couldn't tolerate.

But if they don't use that thing, the Rong family might not be able to leave, and then everything will be uncertain. He really can't guarantee that things will go as planned.

If things don't go according to his original plan, then Gu Rong... he didn't want to gamble, nor did he dare to gamble on this.

It seems I'll have to discuss this with Gu Rong tomorrow to see if there's a better solution. Thinking this, I went straight to sleep.

When the two woke up, it was already afternoon.

Gu Rong was still very sleepy when she woke up, but she thought that if she went to sleep now, it would be another sleepless night.

Forcing herself to get up, Gu Rong knocked directly on Rong Fanyu's door.

Rong Fanyu frowned as he watched Gu Rong wake up and picked her up, saying, "I heard from Jian Shu that you were feeling unwell again. Are you feeling any better now?"

Gu Rongshi was surprised that Han Jianshu would come up with this reason. Although she was a little confused, she still nodded obediently: "I'm fine. I just had insomnia last night and couldn't fall asleep until the middle of the night."

As she was talking, Gu Rong's stomach rumbled.

Gu Rong said somewhat shyly, "I'm a little hungry, shall we go get something to eat first?"

"It's good that you're alright. It's almost time for dinner anyway, let's go now." Rong Fanyu carried Gu Rong and then called Han Jianshu and the others to go to the state-run restaurant for dinner.

After finishing their meal, the group returned to their rooms.

But before he could return to his room, Han Jianshu blocked her way again.

Recently, every time Han Jianshu appears, Gu Rong feels that he has an ulterior motive. Now, seeing him blocking her way, she couldn't help but take a few steps to the side.
