Gu Rong walked over, sat down opposite Han Jianshu, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip: "Can you tell me now?"
Han Jianshu smiled and tapped the table lightly with his right hand: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like I'm not going to tell you."
Gu Rong couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Then just say it! We're all waiting!"
Han Jianshu sighed and explained, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you now. The thing is roughly like this..."
Gu Rong listened to his explanation, which basically meant that she was the original owner of the body.
In their first life, in the basement where they were abducted, Han Jianshu obtained the system.
They later obtained it using the system.
She shielded Han Jianshu from the knife with her body, allowing him to escape.
Later, Han Jianshu reported the incident to the police, and then the kidnappers were arrested and everyone was rescued.
However, when the Rong family got into trouble, the Gu family, though severing ties with them, was implicated, so the Han family forbade Han Jianshu from going to see her.
When he finally had the means to go find her again, she had already gone to the countryside.
By the time Han Jianshu arrived, she was already gone.
Later, Han Jianshu's investigation revealed that her death was related to Han Yanru and Han Xun, but no matter what he did, he was unable to investigate the specific circumstances.
Later, prompted by Ah Xi, he chose to be reborn.
But he tried many times, but he couldn't get her through that ordeal; she died forever in that drowning incident.
Later, having no other choice, Han Jianshu could only take a gamble and send Axi with her three souls to the future after she was abducted and rescued.
As for Master Zhen, he was someone he encountered by chance while doing a mission later on. The other party was trapped in this world and that world, lacking the energy and opportunity to return.
Han Jianshu gave the other party energy, instructing him to give the pair of bracelets to Rong Liancheng when Rong Liancheng came looking for him, and to put them on Gu Rong to stabilize the remaining soul.
Han Jianshu never expected that the world she went to was also a world within a book, and that her mother was also a mission taker, and that it was a tragic story, which led to everything she experienced later.
Later, at the time he set, Ah-Xi went to pick her up and brought her back to the point where everything began, just before she went to the countryside. He also told her about the plot of the book.
Having experienced everything that followed, Gu Rong also learned about the plot of the book. With the presence of A Xi, the three finally combined to truly change the current situation.
As for why they went back, it was to allow the Rong family to escape capture, to cut off the portion of the treasure Han had found, to cut off his first wave of funding, and also to ensure that Gu Rong and the others could live well.
But someone has to bear all of this, and Rongxin is that person.
That's why, even though she knew that staying might lead to death, arrest, or public criticism, and even though she could see that Gu Qiang was different, she still resolutely stayed, even pretending not to know and refusing to divorce Gu Qiang.
Gu Rong was truly shocked to learn that this was how things had turned out: "Is that all? Then what about those so-called missions, and do you even know Gu Mo's fate?"
Everything else, frankly, is very far removed from her.
Although she knew that Rongxin had her reasons for staying, she had only known her for a short time and had tried to change things, but that was all she could do.
What she wants to know most right now is Gu Mo's fate and situation. This is what she really wants to know, and it's the core of all her future plans.
Han Jianshu hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking: "Because of your disappearance, the entire mental hospital was thrown into panic, and someone couldn't help but call the police, which brought the whole story to an end."
Therefore, the mental hospital was reported, the Gu family was implicated, the events of that year were brought up, and with the help of the Cheng and Ma families, the entire Gu family was quickly destroyed. Gu Mo went to prison and eventually hanged himself in prison.
Gu Rong never expected that Gu Mo would be gone just like that? In that instant, Gu Rong seemed to have lost her goal.
Gu Rong pondered for a moment, then looked up at Han Jianshu: "What about the task that A Xi mentioned before?"
Han Jianshu hesitated for a moment: "It's all fake. It's just to give you some goals and motivation. But Han Xun hasn't arrived yet, and you haven't overcome your own hurdle. Only after you overcome that hurdle can you truly change your fate."
"Okay, I understand. It's still early, I'll head back now," Gu Rong stood up and walked outside.
Back home, Gu Rong went straight to her room, locked the door, collapsed onto the bed, and pulled A-Xi out: "If I complete the mission, will that wish still exist?"
Axi sensed that Gu Rong's condition was off, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It exists."
Gu Rong tilted her head and thought for a moment, then slowly asked, "If I go back, can I choose when to go back?"
Ah Xi shook her head: "Your choice to go back is a wish, but you can't choose when to go back. Once you go back, you can only return to the time you left."
"Okay, you can go back now," Gu Rong said, putting A Xi back into her spatial storage and then collapsing onto the bed, staring at the roof beams.
If what Han Jianshu said is true, because of her departure, the story ends with Gu Mo receiving the punishment he deserved.
If she were to go back, it would change the course of events. With what she had, she wasn't sure if she could quickly bring Gu Mo down. For a moment, she seemed to have lost her direction.
For the next few days, Gu Rong stayed in her room the whole time except for meals and washing up.
Gu Xing stared at the closed door, her eyes filled with worry. She wanted to go in, but didn't know what to say.
Han Jianshu noticed his worry and said, "Brother, she's just having some things she can't figure out right now. Let her think about it on her own later. There's no point in us going in to talk to her."
"I was already worried sick when she disappeared for four or five days. Now that she's finally back, she's like this. I shouldn't have listened to her and let her get involved," Gu Xing said, filled with regret.
Seeing his expression, Han Xinyi leaned forward and patted his back to comfort him, saying, "It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself. Xiaorong is in a bad mood, so let's stay with her and wait for her to think it over."
"I know," Gu Xing sighed, and said nothing more, only staring at Gu Rong's door with self-reproach in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Ah Xi, in the room, looked at Gu Rong lying motionless in bed, clearly not asleep, and felt helpless.
Ever since she asked it those questions a few days ago, Gu Rong has been lying there, ignoring whatever it says.
"Master~ Master~".
Ah Xi called out a few more times, but her brother still ignored her.
Ah Xi thought for a moment, then floated outside.
Seeing Han Jianshu sitting there, Axi moved closer.
