Gu Qiang looked at him, his hand twitching slightly at his side. After making a few gestures, the man smiled and looked at the male police officer.
“I just saw that the Rong family was rich. All the other Rong family members had run away, leaving only Rong Xin. I thought they only had this one daughter, so I didn’t believe they wouldn’t leave her something good.”
"I took advantage of the fact that they were not at home to go and check, but who knew there was a small one at home. Since I couldn't find the small one, I thought I would tie it up and sell it for some money."
The tall, burly man leaned back in his chair and chuckled as he looked at Gu Rong: "I didn't expect you to be such a fast runner, even though you're so small. Neither of us brothers could catch you, and we ended up losing to you. I admire you."
After saying that, she tilted her head and looked at the male police officer: "This is the first time I've ever done this. I didn't steal anything, and I didn't cause any harm. I even confessed everything. I don't think this is a serious offense, right?"
The male police officer looked at him sternly and said, "You have committed burglary and attempted kidnapping. Regardless of whether any actual harm was caused, you will be punished by law."
Moreover, you were brought here by force, not by voluntarily surrendering yourself. Do you really think that confessing will lessen your punishment?
The tall, muscular man's expression changed, and his smile vanished instantly: "Officer, that's not what you just said, you didn't..."
The male police officer said sternly, "If I didn't use some methods, would you have said that?"
Upon hearing this, the tall, burly man panicked: "I really know I was wrong. I was just momentarily blinded by greed. Please, have mercy on me."
"I can't say for sure. You'll have to wait and see how they decide," the male police officer said, turning to Rong Xin and the others. "You can go back now. Someone will notify you when the results are in."
"Okay, we'll be going now. Thank you for your hard work," Gu Qiang said, taking Rong Xin's arm and leading the two out of the room.
Just as the two reached the door of the room, the complaining man's voice came from inside again: "I've said everything I need to say. If you can't do it, don't blame me for going back on my word later."
Upon hearing this, the male police officer frowned and reprimanded, "Alright, alright, you can tell the person sentencing you what you have to say later. There's no point in you babbling on here."
"Hmph," the tall, muscular man ignored him and fixed his gaze on Gu Qiang.
Gu Qiang didn't turn his head, but instead made a gesture with the back of his hand. The tall, strong man leaned back in his chair and stopped talking.
After Gu Qiang and his group left the police station, Aunt Zhang took Gu Rong home, while Rong Xin and Gu Qiang went back to work.
When Rongxin returned in the evening, Gu Rong immediately pulled her into the room: "Mom, didn't you find it strange at the police station this morning? Why did they insist on seeing us before they could talk?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Xin patted Gu Rong's back to comfort her: "Your dad told me about this. They were probably trying to threaten us. Now that the person has been arrested, there's no need to worry. They won't come back."
Gu Rong was surprised that Gu Qiang had acted so soon, and judging from Rong Xin's expression, he believed her completely. Seeing this, Gu Rong didn't want to say anything more.
She nodded and said, "Oh, I see. Okay, Mom, I'm hungry. Go cook some food. I want to eat meat."
"Okay, eat meat. You play here with Xiaoxing. I'll go cook." Rongxin turned and left the room, and Gu Xing obediently went into the room.
For the next period of time, Gu Qiang didn't cause any trouble, so Gu Rong was happy to have some peace and quiet.
However, looking at Han Jianshu who suddenly appeared, Gu Rong asked in confusion, "Why did you come here?"
Seeing the look of disgust on her face, Han Jianshu couldn't help but feel a little sad: "I came here because I missed you, so why do you look down on me like this?"
Gu Rong curled her lips: "Who would believe you? You don't come here unless you need something. So, what do you want?"
Han Jianshu rolled his eyes at her: "I just came out of the army and I heard about your house being robbed. I was worried about you, so I came to check on you. You don't appreciate my kindness."
Gu Rong's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected him to come for this reason.
However, having gotten used to talking big all the time, she didn't know how to speak properly for a while: "That was a long time ago. You're only coming now. Are you that busy?"
Han Jianshu sat on the stool, thinking about the training he had been doing every day recently: "I've been busy, training in the army every day. I finally got a day off and came to see you. I'll be going back to work tonight."
Hearing this, Gu Rong's tone softened: "You took a day off and still came here to see me. It must have been hard for you. You should know that I won't get into any trouble, so you should get some rest."
Gu Rong couldn't help but ask with curiosity, "You'll be going back soon, why are you still training?"
Han Jianshu smiled and waved his hand: "Well, that's a secret. I've come all this way to see you, aren't you going to treat me to a meal?"
Aunt Zhang's family eats early; they always prepare the meal before Rongxin returns.
Since she was over there, the other party naturally wouldn't let a child like her read, so Gu Rong ate at Aunt Zhang's house every day during this period, and naturally couldn't bring Han Jianshu to freeload.
However, if she went out on her own, Aunt Zhang would definitely disagree, but if she took Aunt Zhang with her, there were some things they couldn't say.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Rong pointed to her own house next door: "You wait here, I'll go find Aunt Zhang. We agreed to go to my house and wait for my mom to come back so she can cook for us."
"It's fine to eat at your house, but you don't need to cook, Auntie. I'll have Xiaohe buy some food." No matter where they eat, Han Jianshu just wanted to find a quiet place to have a proper talk with Gu Rong.
After much persuasion from Gu Rong, Aunt Zhang finally agreed, escorted the two back to their neighbor's house, and then locked the door from the outside.
Gu Rong led Han Jianshu into the room: "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do here?"
Seeing that Gu Rong had figured it out, Han Jianshu stopped hiding it and took out a jade pendant from his pocket: "Use this on the day you leave."
Gu Rong took the jade pendant and examined it, finding nothing special about it. Holding it in her hand, she looked at Han Jianshu and asked, "What's the use of this?"
Han Jianshu was afraid that she really wouldn't use it, so he stared at Gu Rong with serious eyes: "It will allow you to accurately return to where you came from, and it will also reduce the damage to your soul. Remember to use it, understand?"
Gu Rong was shocked. She gripped the jade pendant tightly and looked at Han Jianshu, not expecting him to have such a thing: "Aren't you going to use it? What will you use if I give it to you?"
Han Jianshu took a deep breath. "I don't need this. Remember to use it, and don't forget."
"I understand, I definitely won't forget." Gu Rong would naturally not refuse something that would benefit her without causing her any harm. As for whether this thing would actually work, she could ask A-Xi later.
