Gu Xing frowned, about to speak, but was interrupted by Gu Rong's words: "Brother, don't blame me."
I was scared at the time. There were so many good things, and Gu Qiang would definitely take them all if he found out.
You weren't around at the time, so I could only burn the letter. Anyway, it's already burned, so even if you scold me, it won't do any good.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, the country will definitely open up the country later, and my grandma and the others might come back.
"Keep those things. When they come back, with my uncle's and his family's intelligence, that money might multiply several times over, and we'll get rich too."
As Gu Rong spoke, she glanced around, then leaned closer to Gu Xing and whispered (though not really whispered):
"Brother, you said we were sent to the countryside and happened to be taken to a place where there is hidden treasure. Could it be that someone did this on purpose? Otherwise, how come there are things here and we've already arrived here?"
He was sure whether someone had done it on purpose, but Gu Xing admired his sister's nonsensical mouth and her wildly imaginative ideas.
Approaching Gu Rong, Gu Xing whispered, "You're not allowed to say these things carelessly in the future."
"You're a girl, if something happens to you... I'll be there for you. Don't push all the problems onto me, you know?"
Gu Rong pouted: "Brother, I'm not a child anymore. Given our situation, you really might not be able to beat me."
Putting everything else aside, with her physical abilities and some special skills, Gu Xing really is no match for her.
But seeing Gu Xing's serious expression, she reluctantly nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll never say that again next time. I'll just push everything onto you."
"I think you're just being stubborn," Gu Xing tapped her forehead. "Anyway, whatever you do, just tell me if you have any problems."
As Gu Xing spoke, he couldn't help but think of Chu Jianshu and Cheng Yang: "I wonder how things are going with Jianshu and Cheng Yang."
Chu Jianshu, who was being nagged, looked at Li Chengyang beside him and asked, "How are the preparations going?"
Li Chengyang patted the box: "It's all ready. Only the top part is made of gold, the rest is made of copper. They're all things that look nice but aren't actually worth much."
Chu Jianshu glanced at it again, confirming that there was nothing of value, but it was something that could get people in.
He then closed the box and said, "Okay, let's get these things done first. Have someone move them back tonight."
Li Yangcheng glanced at the people outside and said, "I've made all the arrangements. Shall we go to the police station now?"
Chu Jianshu nodded: "Okay, let's go to Uncle Gu's place now. He should have done a pretty good job of investigating. We can discuss it further and then we can take action."
"Okay, I'll go talk to them again, then we'll head out," Li Chengyang said as he walked outside.
Chu Jianshu looked at the busy people around him, glanced down at the pendant around his neck, and gently stroked it: 'It's not too late.'
If Gu Rong were here, she would see that the pendant around the other person's neck was almost identical to the one she had previously tied to.
"Jane, okay, let's go."
"They're here," Chu Jianshu said, tucking the pendant into his clothes as he heard the sounds outside. He then walked towards the door.
Sun Shi, who was waiting outside, saw Chu Jianshu come out and quickly moved aside.
Once everyone had come out and the place was quiet inside, Sun Shi climbed over the wall into the courtyard. Following the location where he had seen the boxes stored outside, he opened the boxes and saw a glittering expanse of gold.
After opening several boxes in succession, Sun Shi's eyes lit up. They were filled with glittering gold, as well as a considerable amount of jade and porcelain.
They had almost given up and were focusing solely on Chu Jianshu when they unexpectedly made a gain. Moreover, judging from the wheelbarrow in the yard, these things were probably going to be transported to another place, and there might be more in other places.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, he heard two people talking outside the door.
"Brother, why did you come out? Hurry up and go back in to keep watch. You can't lose anything inside, or you'll lose your life."
"Oh, it's just some gold and silver. Look at who wants it now. If it's discovered, they'll all be executed. Even if you give it to someone else, they won't take it."
"No, no, if you don't go, I will. Otherwise, if the employer finds out, they might not pay us."
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Sun Shi hurriedly closed the box and quickly climbed over the wall to leave.
Standing outside the courtyard, Sun Shi stared intently at it, unable to suppress the smile on his face: "It seems I'm going to exceed expectations for this mission. After this, I should be able to retire immediately."
As Sun Shi turned to leave, he didn't see the two people who had said they were going to the courtyard standing at the door, staring in the direction he had left.
After exchanging a glance, one of them stayed behind to watch the things, while the other quickly left.
After Sun Shi left, he quickly returned to the village and found no one in the room, so he knew that Lin Qi had gone off to wander around somewhere.
Sun Shi frowned and went to where Lin Qi might be. Sure enough, after searching a few places, he saw Lin Qi and Bai Rou pulling and tugging at each other.
Sun Shi walked up to Lin Qi with a dark face and shouted, "Have you forgotten why you came here?"
If you don't want to do this job anymore, I'll report to my superiors and have you sent back immediately, so you can be in a life of luxury all the time.
Hearing Sun Shi's fury, Lin Qi trembled slightly and turned to look at Sun Shi with displeasure.
Over the years we've known each other, aside from his love of having fun, he's never made a mistake.
Moreover, what he cares about most is not losing face in front of women.
If it were anyone else, he would absolutely not tolerate this, but he was not on Sun Shi's level, so he had no choice but to listen to him.
Lin Qi patted Bai Rou on the shoulder, then looked at Sun Shi and said with a forced smile, "No, no, no, how could I forget?"
"I had Gu Qiang keeping an eye on things over there. I was just taking a stroll. What did you find out?"
Sun Shi glanced at Bai Rou and said coldly, "It's nothing, come back with me first."
Feeling Bai Rou tug at his arm, Lin Qi smiled and said, "Alright, Brother Sun, you go first. I'll just say a few words to Xiao Rou and then head back."
Seeing the two still pulling and tugging at each other, Sun Shi became even angrier: "Hurry up, stop dawdling."
"Alright, alright," Lin Qi glared at Sun Shi's back, then turned to Bai Rou: "Let's go back first, you can go back later, don't let anyone find out we're together."
"I know, I'll go back in half an hour," Bai Rou said obediently. "Don't be angry, Brother Sun is just worried about delaying things. You two should talk things out and not get angry or fight."
Of all the women I've met over the years, most of them were only compliant because they were forced into it, and even if something actually happened, they were like dead fish afterwards.
Only Bai Rou was completely obedient; she did whatever he asked her to do, and he was very satisfied with her.
