Chu Jianshu snatched the paper from Li Chengyang's hand, interrupting him: "I know, but this is the only way, understand?"
"I understand," Li Chengyang said, his mood low and even somewhat angry.
These matters were none of their concern. Even if Chu Jianshu liked Gu Rong, he shouldn't...
But if he didn't help Chu Jianshu, the situation would be even more dangerous, and he couldn't watch Chu Jianshu take the risk alone.
Gu Rong listened to the recording, and after a long silence, she heard the sound of someone pushing open the door and entering.
However, there was no conversation afterwards; if you listened carefully, you could only hear the sound of paper and pen rubbing together.
"This is pointless," Gu Rong said, turning off the recording and sitting up from her chair.
He stretched and looked at Han Xinyi: "Sister-in-law, you guys continue studying, I'm going back to my room to lie down for a while."
Han Xinyi didn't even look up: "Okay."
She ran back to her room to prevent anyone from coming to find her missing. After closing all the doors and windows, she disappeared into the next room.
Because she had prepared a lot of dishes, Bai Rou still had two dishes to finish at this point.
After finishing cooking the vegetables, Bai Rou walked over to Gu Qiang, who was tending the fire, and whispered, "You stay here and keep an eye on things. I'll go call people to prepare dinner."
His family was cooking at the time, so he had no chance to put the poison in the food.
Now that his family members have left, it's easier for him to move around.
Gu Qiang nodded: "Okay, go ahead, remember to stall for time."
Bai Rou left the kitchen and walked to Lin Qi and his companion's room. She knocked on their door and peeked inside.
"Brother Sun, Brother Lin, dinner is almost ready. A-Qiang asked me to call you for dinner. Would you like to eat in your room or in the yard? I'll bring the dishes over."
Sun Shi looked up and glanced at Bai Rou: "Eat in your room."
Bai Rou smiled and agreed, "Okay...okay, you guys go over and rest for a while, I'll go and cook the last two dishes."
Bai Rou returned to her room first and moved the table and chairs to their proper places.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Shi and Lin Qi came in. Bai Rou told them to sit down and rest for a while, and then went to the kitchen.
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Bai Rou noticed that the dishes had been touched, but she didn't ask any questions immediately.
Instead, he went to the stove, poured in the oil, and started cooking.
Amid the sizzling sound of stir-frying, Bai Rou approached Gu Qiang: "Is everything done? Which ones are the ones without medicine?"
Gu Qiang nodded slightly and said softly, "It's all done. I won't cut this one or the two that haven't been made yet."
"Of the dishes I made before, I didn't cook the side with the flowers on it, but the other side had medicine in it, so don't touch it. Also, don't touch the soup."
Bai Rou's heart tightened, and she glanced at the dishes again, secretly praying that the plan would go smoothly.
However, she didn't completely believe Gu Qiang's words.
After all, she didn't believe that even if Gu Qiang succeeded in the end, he would let her go.
Compared to Gu Qiang himself, she still believed that Sun Shi and Lin Qi were more capable.
After quickly stir-frying the last two dishes, Bai Rou brought them in along with the bowls and chopsticks: "Brother, these two dishes are freshly cooked. You can eat them first, and the rest will be served soon."
He then quickly went out and carried the remaining dishes inside with Gu Qiang.
After the two came in, Sun Shi pointed to the dishes and said, "Gu Qiang, you eat first. Try a bite of each dish."
"Okay, bro," Gu Qiang picked up his chopsticks, tasted all the dishes, turned around and smiled at Sun Shi: "Bro, I've eaten them all, let's eat."
Gu Rong was full of confidence and swallowed all the food in her mouth.
Sun Shi didn't touch his chopsticks at all, but ordered some food and told Gu Qiang to continue: "It's okay, you can eat more, we're not hungry."
Judging from his expression, Gu Qiang seemed a little flustered. Had they discovered it?
But then he thought about how discreetly he had done it, and suddenly felt confident: "Brother, with so many good dishes, how can I eat them all by myself? You guys eat them."
Sun Shi sat there staring at Gu Qiang, a half-smile playing on his lips, and said, "What? You won't eat it even if I offer it to you? Did you drug it?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qiang's heart skipped a beat.
Gu Qiang glanced cautiously at Sun Shi and Lin Qi, noticing their indifferent expressions, but forced a calm facade.
"Brother Sun, Brother Lin, my life is in your hands. I am loyal to you. How could I dare to do this?" he said, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Looking at Gu Qiang, someone like him still wants to have wicked thoughts? He really thinks too highly of himself.
Sun Shi sneered: "Hmph, loyal? Gu Qiang, you're too naive. Do you think your little tricks can fool us?"
The medicine you bought last night, and those two people on the mountain? Are you sure they have nothing to do with you?
As he spoke, he gave Lin Qi a wink, and Lin Qi quickly stepped forward and restrained Gu Qiang.
Gu Qiang, who was pinned to the ground, never expected that Sun Shineng knew so much.
But if he really swallowed this, he would be completely finished, with no chance of recovery.
Gu Qiang was still stubbornly insisting: "Brother Sun, I really didn't mean to do anything. I don't know anyone at all. I didn't even go out last night. Please believe me."
Sun Shi walked up to him and took out a small paper packet from his pocket: "This is the sleeping pills we found in your room. What else do you have to say?"
"And what about the food you just ate? Didn't you notice your head is a little dizzy after you finished eating?"
Gu Qiang's face turned deathly pale, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, no longer struggling.
Sun Shi gave Lin Qi a look, and Lin Qi picked up the sleeping pills from the ground and poured them directly into Gu Qiang's mouth.
Then she poured a glass of water into his mouth and covered his mouth with her hand to prevent him from spitting it out.
Gu Qiang was so uncomfortable from being choked that he was forced to force the water in his mouth to flow back in.
This medicine works very quickly. Gu Qiang had only swallowed it for a short while when he completely collapsed to the ground.
Although the man was unconscious, fearing he might wake up and run away, Sun Shi and Lin Qi tied him up together.
After tying the man up, Sun Shi glanced at Bai Rou and said, "You stay here and watch over him. If he wakes up before we get back, give him the rest of the sleeping potion."
Bai Rou sat there obediently, not daring to move at all, for fear of receiving the same treatment as Gu Qiang.
Hearing this, Bai Rou breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she hadn't completely trusted Gu Qiang: "Okay, Brother Sun, I'll keep an eye on him."
Sun Shi glanced at Lin Qi, then at Bai Rou, and said seriously, "I don't care about your affairs. What happens next depends on your own abilities."
After saying that, he glanced at Bai Rou and said, "After we get the things, I will take Gu Qiang with me. You and your daughter can stay here and don't need to go back."
Upon hearing this, Bai Rou's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Brother Sun, thank you, Brother Sun. I will never forget your great kindness in this lifetime."
"Alright, keep an eye on him," Sun Shi waved and went back to his room.
Lin Qi also came over and asked, "Brother, what's our next step?"
"Take a break first. We'll meet at the village entrance in an hour," Sun Shi said, taking a pistol from the cabinet, tucking it into his waistband, and leaving.
When Gu Rong saw the pistol, he was completely stunned. How the hell did they have firearms?!
