Meeting Gu Rong's probing and fierce gaze, Bai Rou couldn't help but shiver.
She had originally planned to play both sides, helping whichever side was advantageous to her.
But looking at Gu Qiang, whose face was swollen like a pig's head and who didn't react at all, Bai Rou realized that she was no match for him at all.
If she really lays a hand on Gu Rong, it would be the best outcome if she and Jia Zhen could survive.
Bai Rou swallowed hard and stammered, "Actually, I just wanted to tell you that they will be taking action in the next couple of days."
I had just heard about it and was anxious to tell you, so I went to look for you. But don't worry, when I went to look for you, I observed that they were all on the mountain and no one saw them.”
Gu Rong had actually guessed it was about this matter. She glanced at Bai Rou and deliberately drew out her voice: "Oh~ that's it? I already know. If I don't come looking for you anymore, don't come looking for me again."
Bai Rou was surprised that Gu Rong knew about this, and her heart skipped a beat, but she still went along with it and said, "Okay, okay."
Gu Rong yawned: "Then you can continue sleeping."
After Gu Rong left, Bai Rou sat on the bed for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
Bai Rou, who hadn't slept all night, ran out of the house to find Gu Jiazhen as soon as it was dawn.
When they returned, it was nearly noon, and Gu Qiang and the others who had been drugged slowly woke up.
Hearing Gu Qiang's movements and seeing the slap mark on his face, Bai Rou quickly took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and pretended to be asleep.
As soon as Gu Qiang regained consciousness, he felt a sharp pain on his face.
Slowly opening her eyes, she reached out to touch her face, and instantly cried out, "Ahhh! My face!"
Hearing the noise, Bai Rou rubbed her eyes sleepily and said, "What are you yelling about? Can't a person get any sleep?"
When Bai Rou saw the injury on Gu Qiang's face, she immediately exclaimed, "My God, what happened to your face? It looks like you've been slapped!"
What were you doing last night while I was sleeping? Did you cheat on me and get caught, and then get beaten up?
Gu Qiang wanted to yell, but he only managed to utter one word before his face aggravated the wound: "You~ Ouch, it hurts, it hurts."
Helpless, he could only glare at Bai Rou and whisper, "Stop talking nonsense, get me a mirror to look at myself."
"Tch, can't you find it yourself? It's in the closet, don't bother me," Bai Rou ignored him completely, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went out.
Looking at the sun already high in the sky and hearing the noise next door, I couldn't help but shout, "My God, I slept for way too long! It's already past noon!"
Gu Qiang and Lin Qi were dumbfounded, but Sun Shi, who had been with Gu Qiang yesterday, couldn't help but be suspicious as he stared at the room next door.
When Gu Qiang came out of the room and saw the injury on the other person's face, Sun Shi's suspicions reached their peak.
Last night, he watched Gu Qiang return to his room, and after observing for a while and seeing no movement from next door, he went to sleep.
Gu Qiang, who was not injured when he returned last night, now has his face covered with slap marks, and the rest of them slept until noon.
Adding to the fact that Gu Qiang bought the sleeping pills last night, he couldn't help but suspect that Gu Qiang was the one who did it, and that the person who sold him the drugs hadn't told him the truth at all, daring to lie to him...
Deceived and drugged, Sun Shi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He remembered Gu Qiang and that man.
He turned and went back to his room. Looking at Lin Qi, who was still lying there, he kicked him and said, "Get up! You're so slow, you won't even get a hot meal."
"Damn it, whoever kicked me, I'll kill you!" Lin Qi was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly kicked and was terrified.
Upon seeing that it was Sun Shishi, Lin Qi immediately perked up: "Brother Sun, what's wrong? Why are you so angry so early in the morning?"
"Stop talking nonsense, go check what time it is, hurry up and come with me to the back mountain, I have something to tell you," Sun Shi said, and walked out.
After taking a couple of steps, he turned back and pointed to the next house: "Just call the woman next door and have her come up the mountain in half an hour. Don't let that man follow her."
Although we don't know what happened, judging from Sun Shi's condition, something big must have occurred.
Lin Qi smiled and nodded: "Okay, Brother Sun, I'll be right there. I definitely won't be discovered. You go first, I'll be there shortly."
Sun Shi glanced at the other person, then quickly walked out of the room.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qi quickly got out of bed and went out of the room, where he saw Bai Rou sitting at the door.
Hearing the cursing coming from inside, Lin Qi went over and asked, "What's going on inside? Why are they yelling like ghosts?"
"He was perfectly fine before I went to bed yesterday, but when I woke up, his face was swollen from being slapped, and he was screaming like a ghost," Bai Rou suddenly said cautiously to Lin Qi.
"Didn't you notice? We slept so soundly that we didn't wake up until noon. We usually get up very early."
Upon hearing Bai Rou's words, Lin Qi immediately looked up at the sky.
Looking at the sun, which was already high in the sky, he finally came to his senses.
When he first got up, he felt much hotter than yesterday morning and thought it was because the temperature had risen.
But upon hearing Bai Rou's words, and looking at Gu Qiang inside the room, and recalling Sun Shi's dissatisfaction, Lin Qi was instantly terrified.
He patted Bai Rou on the shoulder: "Come find me on the back mountain in half an hour. Don't bring the one inside with you. I'm going now."
"Um".
Upon hearing Bai Rou's reply, Lin Qi quickly ran up the mountain.
When they arrived at the agreed location, Lin Qi was surprised to find two other people crawling beside him, in addition to Sun Shi.
Lin Qi quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Sun, what's going on? Who are these two people?"
Sun Shi kicked the two men on the ground, then turned to stare at Lin Qi with a half-smile: "I saw them acting suspiciously, and I've never seen them in the village before, so I grabbed them and asked them. Guess who they are?"
Although he knew these two had nothing to do with him, Lin Qi still felt a little flustered when he met Sun Shi's gaze.
He wiped away imaginary cold sweat: "Brother Sun, these two have nothing to do with me. I don't know them at all."
“I know it has nothing to do with you. If it really did, do you think I would let you see them?” Sun Shi glanced at the spineless Lin Qi and said irritably.
"Both of them are Gu Qiang's men. I never expected that even though we've been keeping an eye on him and never seen him go to town, he could still find helpers."
Sun Shi sneered in annoyance and kicked the two men again: "Let's each take one in and have a good chat with them."
As he spoke, he pulled Lao Han along and headed into the mountains.
The remaining Lao Wei was also dragged up the mountain by Lin Qi.
As Lao Han was being dragged along, he endured the pain in his body and couldn't help but recall the conversation between the two of them.
Combining what Gu Qiang had said with what he realized, damn it, they had been fooled.
