He could easily protect Gu Jiazhen, a mere child.
Seeing that Bai Rou looked ready to get up and kill Gu Qiang immediately, Lin Qi was temporarily relieved.
Thinking about what to do next, I still need Bai Rou's help.
Lin Qi held Bai Rou's hand, his tone threatening: "You're so obedient, how could I not trust you?"
As long as you do as I say from now on, Gu Jiazhen will be absolutely safe. I can even bring her back to the city so she can live a good life with us.
But if you betray me, you know I have blood on my hands, so one or two more won't matter."
Although Bai Rou was scared, she still forced herself to say, "You... don't worry, as long as Jia Zhen is alright, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
"Don't worry about what happens next, let's keep an eye on what's inside," Lin Qi said, pulling Bai Rou along as they looked towards the cave.
But as soon as he turned his head, he met Gu Rong's gaze. For a moment, Lin Qi panicked, thinking that he had been discovered.
But Gu Rong only glanced at it before looking elsewhere, as if she were observing her surroundings.
Lin Qi's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally calmed down, but he dared not move rashly for fear of being discovered.
He was so focused on the cave that he didn't notice the change in Bai Rou's emotions when she met Gu Rong's gaze.
But only for a moment. After Gu Rong withdrew her gaze, Bai Rou immediately followed Lin Qi's example and stared at the cave.
With the recording and live broadcast, it would be easy to find them, but this whole thing was just a show for them, so naturally they wouldn't be noticed.
After the group of people had put all the items inside, Chu Jianshu arranged for people to take turns keeping an eye on things.
Chu Jianshu casually pointed to a few people: "You guys keep watch here, someone will bring food over every day."
This is just a temporary storage point. Someone will take it away later. We can't afford to offend those people, so don't expose yourselves, understand?
"knew".
"Okay, then you guys be careful, we'll head back now."
With that, he led Gu Xing, Gu Rong, and Li Chengyang down the mountain.
Their original plan was to put the items into the cave and then have them discovered by Sun Shi and his group.
But when Chu Jianshu and Li Chengyang went out during the day, they discovered they were being followed.
They quickly changed the plan, but the overall approach remained largely the same.
It's just that letting Sun Shi and Lin Qi discover it in advance saves the trouble of bringing in two more people later, which would seem too deliberate.
After the group went down the mountain, they were assigned to guard the courtyard during the day. Zhang Xi, the man who was dissatisfied, started complaining: "How much money did they pay us? They even made us guard the place. You guys can watch over it. I'm going to go to sleep first."
“Brother, they paid for it, so it’s only right that we watch,” Zhang Huan said, pulling Zhang Xi along, then looking apologetically at the other three.
"Brother Jia, Brother Wang, Brother He, my brother and I have been keeping watch all day and we're a bit tired. How about you keep watch tonight and my brother and I keep watch tomorrow night?"
The three exchanged glances, and Brother Wang said, "Okay, you can go in first. There are blankets in the outermost box; you can make your own beds."
"Okay, okay, let's go right now," Zhang Huan said, pulling his older brother along as they quickly walked inside.
Zhang Xi walked inside, muttering to himself, "I'm so done with this, I'm exhausted."
The three people at the door didn't say anything when they heard the voice, but they shook their heads helplessly with smiles on their faces.
Once inside, Zhang Xi, seeing that the cave entrance was quite far away, raised an eyebrow at Zhang Huan and asked, "How's your acting, bro? You could be making movies now, could you?"
With his exaggerated acting skills, it would be strange if no one believed him if the foreshadowing hadn't been so good.
Zhang Huan rolled his eyes at his older brother: "Yes, yes, your acting is superb, but now you should go to sleep."
Zhang Xi didn't stand on ceremony and lay down directly: "Tch, I'm going to sleep now. There are still tough battles to fight later. I can't stay awake."
Lin Qi, who was watching from outside, originally wanted to wait for people to leave before going in to take a look, but looking at the three people sitting at the cave entrance, he figured he wouldn't have the chance tonight.
Lin Qi patted Bai Rou's hand: "There's no chance tonight. Let's go back first. You go downstairs first, and I'll go call Gu Qiang."
"Okay, be careful," Bai Rou replied softly, then slowly walked down the mountain.
Although Lin Qi harbored resentment towards Gu Qiang, he knew the other party would still be useful later, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "There's no chance tonight. Let's go back and discuss how to proceed."
Gu Qiang glanced at the opposite side. There were three people at the cave entrance and two more inside. He was alone and no match for them. "Okay, Brother Lin."
Lin Qi stared at Gu Qiang, and if he didn't know what the other man was thinking, he really wouldn't have been able to figure out what he was thinking.
Turning around, he walked down the mountain. In the moonlight, he saw two people not far away. After carefully identifying their figures, he realized that they were Sun Shi and Bai Rou.
The two seemed to be talking about something. Lin Qi, curious, quickly stepped forward and asked Sun Shi, "What's the situation on your end? Have you found anything else?"
Sun Shi stared at Lin Qi for a while before speaking calmly, "Let's talk about this when we get back. It's getting early, let's go back first."
Lin Qi stared at Sun Shi's back. Although he felt something was strange, the other party often did this, so Lin Qi didn't think much of it and assumed that the other party knew something. He quickly followed after him.
Gu Qiang and Bai Rou continued to follow behind.
Gu Qiang was about to ask something when Bai Rou shook her head at him, then pointed at Sun Shi, and Gu Qiang immediately shut up.
the next day
Gu Xing and the others, who hadn't been to work for several days, all returned to work.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Chu Jianshu and Gu Xing got up early in the morning to cook food for the mountain, and then Chu Jianshu delivered it to the mountain.
As the weather gets hotter, the group discussed it and decided to cut grass for the cattle in the morning.
Han Xinyi and Cao Baobao knew that Gu Rong couldn't get up and that she had been quite busy lately, so they helped her with the procedure.
So even though Gu Rong didn't do anything these past few days, she didn't lose any work points.
Since things over there would have to wait, Gu Rong decided to resume cutting grass for the cattle today. With the help of tools, it would be done quickly.
However, Gu Rong still didn't get up until around eleven o'clock.
The group didn't go up the mountain until after 4 p.m. The others had basically cut half a basket of grass, while Gu Rong had finished cutting the grass for the cattle.
Gu Rong was still waiting there, while the other three were being taken to the cowshed by cow grass.
On the last occasion, Gu Rong opened the panel, glanced at the location, and said to Han Xinyi, "Sister-in-law, you should go back first. I'll pick some wild vegetables on the mountain and then head back."
Han Xinyi was worried: "It's too dangerous for you to go by yourself. We'll go with you, and we'll pick the grass and then deliver it to the cows."
Gu Rong smiled and took Han Xinyi's arm, whispering in her ear, "No need, sister-in-law, you can go down first, I have things to do."
Thinking about what Gu Xing and the others have been busy with all this time.
Han Xinyi, worried that she might delay them, immediately said, "Okay, then take care of yourself. We'll head back when you get back."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll pick some wild vegetables and head back," Gu Rong said with a smile, waving goodbye to the three of them.
He then glanced at the panel, suppressed his smile, and headed up the mountain.
