Hearing this, Chu Jianshu knew there was a lot of exaggeration involved, but that didn't stop him from being happy.
Smiling, she stared at Gu Rong and said, "Alright, then I'll stick with you for the rest of my life."
Gu Rong rolled her eyes and ignored him completely.
Gu Qiang, standing at the cave entrance, slowly approached inside, trying to eavesdrop on the conversations inside.
Unfortunately, the sound of the shovel inside was too loud to hear at all.
He was afraid of being discovered if he went any further, so he could only quietly retreat.
Standing outside, staring at the cave, I couldn't help but ponder.
If there really is something inside, he definitely couldn't remove it on his own.
But if he were to go looking for Sun Shi and Lin Qi, and if there really was something inside, he definitely wouldn't get a share.
But if he doesn't contact him, he doesn't know who else to contact.
If he had sought help from Bai Rou and Gu Jiazhen before, the two of them could have helped him.
But now Bai Rou is getting too close to Lin Qi, and Gu Jiazhen listens to her mother, so he doesn't dare to gamble, which is quite worrying.
After taking one last look at the cave, Gu Qiang turned and walked down the mountain.
When they were halfway there, they ran into Gu Xing.
Glancing at the people following behind him, Gu Qiang quickly stepped forward: "Xiao Xing, have you seen Xiao Rong?"
I just saw her, and she's gone in the blink of an eye. I wonder if she ran off to the deep mountains; that's too dangerous."
"No, Xiao Rong is very well-behaved and won't run around. I have something to do, so I'll head back first," Gu Xing said, unwilling to say more, and quickly walked down the mountain.
Gu Qiang doesn't want to join forces with Sun Shihui right now, otherwise he would definitely arrange for him to do something else.
He could only pester Gu Xing; perhaps he could still get other information that way.
Gu Qiang quickly caught up with Gu Xing: "Hey, Xiao Xing, don't go yet."
I've thought a lot about this lately, and I truly know I was wrong. You can tell me what kind of compensation you want, and I'll do my best to make it up to you and Xiaorong.
Gu Xing, as if annoyed by Gu Qiang's persistence, stopped and glared at him: "We can never forgive you for what you did."
Don't treat everyone like fools. You suddenly came over and even tried to test things out. Who would believe you didn't have ulterior motives?
Just tell us what you want, and we'll give you what we have right away. We've finally managed to have our own lives, so please, just let us live our own lives, okay?
Gu Qiang's face stiffened as he stared at Gu Xing, trying to read something from his expression.
However, after staring at it for a while, I couldn't see anything except for my own impatience and disgust.
Gu Qiang gave an awkward laugh: "Hehe, what could we possibly want? Besides, I've watched you and Xiao Rong grow up, what could we possibly want?"
“There is no best,” Gu Xing stared at Gu Qiang with a cold face: “I’m warning you one last time, don’t bother us again, and don’t go looking for Xiao Rong.”
Don't think I don't know. If anything happens to Xiao Rong, I will never let you off the hook. So think carefully about the consequences before you do anything.
Gu Xing snorted coldly, turned around and left, showing no respect to the other party and completely breaking off all pretense of civility.
Gu Qiang stared intently at Gu Xing's back, as if he wanted to bore a hole through it.
Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder.
Gu Qiang turned his head and saw Sun Shi. His face immediately lit up with a fawning smile: "Brother Sun, I haven't found anything here. Those two even got away. Have you found anything over there?"
They were afraid of being discovered, so they stood quite far away, and Gu Qiang and Gu Xing spoke softly, so no one could hear them.
Sun Shiwei tried to explain to him, then directly asked, "What did he just say?"
Gu Qiang wasn't sure if they had heard him or were just testing him, so he explained what had just happened:
"Just tell them what we want, and they'll give it to us directly if they have it, so we won't bother them anymore."
"Hmph," Sun Shi snorted coldly, glancing at Gu Qiang: "Back then, when the country needed money, the Rong family only donated so little."
When the Rong family left, they only took one ship with them. With such a large business empire, how could they have only taken so little?
Rongxin is the most favored daughter of the Rong family, and I don't believe that the Rong family left her nothing.
Since he's willing to talk, you can ask him directly later if he knows anything about the Rong family and whether Rong Xin left anything behind.
Gu Qiang had originally planned to slowly move the object away little by little once it was unearthed over there!
If we were to ask as Sun Shi suggested, wouldn't that completely expose us?
Gu Qiang was somewhat reluctant, "Isn't it a bad idea to be so direct? If we just ask directly, we'll expose ourselves, and they'll definitely be on guard later."
Since last night, after tracking Gu Qiang and Chu Jianshu's disappearance, Sun Shi suspected that they had been exposed.
Hearing Gu Xing's words again today strengthened this suspicion.
All the missions he carried out in the past involved directly arresting, threatening, or silencing people.
He was already dissatisfied with the special assignment given to him this time.
Even if he had no doubts, he didn't want to wait any longer, given his procrastination.
She slapped Gu Qiang across the face: "Who gives you the right to speak here? Stop with your little schemes. If you don't want to be childless, you'd better behave yourself."
With that, Sun Shi left quickly, and Lin Qi followed him without even glancing at Gu Qiang.
Bai Rou squatted down and said in a questioning but confirming tone, "You've already discovered something, haven't you?"
"What did you say?" Gu Qiang rubbed his face, staring at Bai with a somewhat puzzled look.
Having lived together for almost twenty years, if others don't understand Gu Qiang, how could Bai Rou not understand him?
Seeing his expression, Bai Rou became even more certain.
Bai Rou sat on the ground and sneered, "How could we not know each other? Alright, stop pretending."
If you tell me you've discovered something, and offer me some benefits, I might be able to help you. But if you don't say anything, I'll have to go find Lin Qi.
