Gu Xing knew she couldn't win an argument with her, so she rolled her eyes at her and tapped her head: "I'm just worried about you, you don't appreciate my kindness."
Let's leave it at that for now. But if you act on your own again later, don't blame me... don't blame me for making you study for a week, plus you'll have to take an exam. If you fail the exam, you'll have to take an extra month.
Upon hearing this devastating news, Gu Rong's eyes widened instantly: "Brother, I said this for your sake, isn't this a bit ungrateful?"
"Never mind if they repay kindness with enmity, as long as this method works," Gu Xing raised an eyebrow at her, "Alright, that's all for today."
"Jianshu, go up the mountain again tomorrow and talk to those people there. We need to leave loopholes for them, otherwise it will be difficult to proceed later."
Even before Sun Shi took over, Chu Jianshu had already arranged a new plan.
Those people on the mountain were all borrowed from Director Gu; they were skilled in both martial arts and acting.
Jianshu smiled and said, "I've already made the arrangements. I'll go and talk to them again tomorrow. We'll just wait for Gu Qiang or Sun Shi to make their move. If they still don't, we'll have to ask Xiao Rong for help."
The three of them exchanged a smile, and then Gu Xing took Gu Rong home.
After returning home, Gu Rong was just about to rest when she heard A Xi remind her, "Master, Gu Qiang has gone out."
"Okay, let me check." Upon hearing the news, Gu Rong sat up in bed, opened the panel, and saw that Gu Qiang's direction of movement was towards the commune.
Although Gu Rong didn't want to follow, in order to find out what he was up to and to avoid being betrayed, Gu Rong got out of bed.
Follow Gu Qiang until you see him, go to the place the Han family wanted to go last time, and confirm what he wants to buy.
Looking at what he bought, it was similar to what the Han family wanted to buy—all of them were sleeping pills.
The only difference is that the Han family wanted to buy sleeping powder, while Gu Qiang bought something similar to a sleeping potion, which could be directly added to the food.
Seeing the other person carrying the things back to the village, Gu Rong followed them back.
Two hours were wasted traveling back and forth, and Gu Rong overslept again the next day.
Chu Jianshu had gotten up even earlier than before, and Sun Shi and the other man who had been watching them followed him as expected.
Gu Qiang and Bai Rou, who were asked to stay, exchanged a glance and then quietly followed.
Gu Qiang had been to that cave many times and knew many routes, so he bypassed the two men and headed towards the cave.
When the two arrived at the mountain, Chu Jianshu had already entered the cave. After waiting for a short while, they saw Chu Jianshu leave with three other people.
When Gu Qiang saw that there were only two people left, his eyes lit up.
But then he thought of Sun Shi and Lin Qi, who were hiding somewhere, and couldn't help but feel anxious.
But after a short while, Sun Shi followed him over.
Seeing this, Gu Qiang quietly nudged Bai Rou: "Go and find out from Lin Qi when they will make their move."
"Take care of yourself," Bai Rou said, then walked down a short distance and went to the place Lin Qi had taken her to keep an eye on yesterday.
Sure enough, they were nearby. After searching for a while, they heard Lin Qi's voice: "Bai Rou, what brings you here?"
Bai Rou had already prepared her reason, and she blurted it out: "I saw Gu Qiang come up too."
I was afraid he might do something, so I followed him, but I wasn't as fast as him and lost him. That's why I thought I'd come and tell you.
Lin Qi thought for a moment, then looked around again, but still couldn't see Gu Qiang.
Lin Qi shook his head: "I didn't see him, and even if I did, it wouldn't matter."
He was all alone, without any help, so even if he wanted to get rid of him, he wouldn't have the ability.
"Keep an eye on him for the next couple of days. If he makes any moves, come to me. If you do a good job, you and your daughter will be safe."
Meeting Lin Qi's gaze, he looked into the other's eyes and saw the calculations he thought he had hidden well.
Bai Rou pretended not to see anything, and grabbed Lin Qi's hand with a grateful expression: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on him. I just don't know what your plans are? Is there anything I can do?"
Lin Qi was also puzzled. According to the past, although everything was done according to Sun Shi's wishes, the specifics were still discussed between the two of them.
But now that he was right in front of him, Sun Shi seemed to be on guard against him and wouldn't say anything to him.
Lin Qi shook his head: "Brother Sun didn't tell me the specifics, but I estimate it will be in the next day or two. Once things are over, we'll go back."
Bai Rou frowned: "You're all together, isn't he being too guarded?"
"What if he suspects you're trying to embezzle the stuff? If that happens, won't he report you to your superiors? And what about you? What about us?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi frowned slightly, thinking about Sun Shi's unusual behavior over the past two days.
But when I talked to Sun Shi yesterday, he clearly allowed him to keep things to himself. Could it be that he's planning to...?
Seeing her furrowed brows and unpleasant expression, he knew that Lin Qi had taken what he said to heart.
Watching Chu Jianshu and the others return, Bai Rou patted Lin Qi and said, "I'll go down first, otherwise Brother Sun might think we have something going on."
With that, Bai Rou turned around and quickly walked down the mountain.
When she reached the foot of the mountain, she intended to return to the neighboring house, but instead turned and walked to the Gu family's door, directly knocking on the door of the Gu family next door.
Han Xinyi, who was inside the door, opened it a crack and frowned when she saw the person outside: "What are you doing here? You're not welcome here."
Her deal with Gu Rong was a private one, and Bai Rou didn't care at all about Han Xinyi's attitude.
Bai Rou didn't go in either, but stood at the door: "Tell Gu Rong to come find me when she wakes up, I have something to tell her."
Han Xinyi was confused, but thinking of what Gu Xing had said about everything Bai Rou had done in the past: "Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll tell her."
"I won't say anything else, just tell her this," Bai Rou said, then turned and left.
But after walking a few steps, he stopped again and looked at Han Xinyi: "You can only tell Gu Rong about why I came to see you. Don't tell anyone else, and don't spread it around. Otherwise, I won't be responsible for any consequences."
Hearing Bai Rou's words, Han Xinyi was still confused, but then she thought about what Gu Xing and Gu Rong had been busy with lately.
Cao Baobao was reading inside when she heard a knock on the door, but nothing else.
Seeing Han Xinyi return, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Who was outside just now?"
Thinking of what Bai Rou said, Han Xinyi shook her head: "No one came looking for A Xing and the others. I told them they weren't home and asked him to go to the fields to look for them."
With something on her mind, Han Xinyi was restless for half the morning.
Upon seeing Gu Rong wake up, Han Xinyi quickly pulled her into the room: "Bai Rou just came over and said you should go find her when you wake up. Do you want to go?"
I don't know what this person is thinking. It's not safe for you to go alone. If you want to go, I'll go with you.
Gu Rong had no idea why Bai Rou was coming over so openly.
But she was definitely not up to any good. Gu Rong shook her head: "No need, sister-in-law, I can go by myself."
"Are you really capable?" Han Xinyi was still worried.
"You really don't need to, sister-in-law. I can go by myself. Don't tell anyone about this. I'm going out to wash up now," Gu Rong said, yawning as she left the house to start washing up.
