"I am not injured."

Gu Ranle shook her head gently. "Those vandals have been arrested, but the mastermind is still under investigation. Alas, the house was severely damaged. The workers have been working overtime to repair it in the past few days, and it has been repaired almost completely. However, we still need to buy some new furniture and ventilate the room for a while before we can move in with peace of mind."

"It is the greatest blessing that people are safe and sound."

Hearing this, Mr. Jiang's frown gradually relaxed, but a barely perceptible sharp light flashed in his deep eyes.

He gently patted the back of Gu Ranle's hand, his tone full of comfort and kindness, but he had secretly made up his mind in his heart that no matter who was behind the scenes, he would pay the price for his evil behavior.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren chatted about family matters for a while.

At this time, Fu Hanting came over and invited them to the banquet hall for dinner.

"I won't go. You guys go eat." Mr. Jiang waved his hand, indicating that he would stay here. "Just get me something to eat. A simple meal here is enough for me."

Mr. Luo also agreed: "I won't go to the front to join in the fun. It's so noisy there that it gives me a headache."

Fu Hanting looked at Gu Ranle helplessly, as if seeking her opinion.

Gu Ranle shrugged at him and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, brother. Please help us prepare some food."

Apparently, she had no intention of going to the noisy banquet hall either.

Fu Hanting nodded, turned and left without saying anything else.

Not long after, the servants came over with delicious meals, which smelled delicious.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat around the table under the pavilion, enjoying this rare quiet time.

The food is refreshing and delicious, making people feel very satisfied.

"Le Le, your fiancé..." Mr. Jiang carefully chose his words and slowly asked, "Have you known each other since childhood?"

Gu Ranle thought for a moment and replied, "I first saw him when I was nine years old. At that time, he had just been taken back to the Li family by Li Tingsheng. He was thin and small. Although he was fourteen years old, he was still not as tall as me. He looked like a malnourished bean sprout. His face was not that good-looking at that time. But I just liked him."

After hearing this, Mr. Luo couldn't help but laugh: "It doesn't look good, but you still like it? I heard that you bullied Luo Jiangdu and made him cry that day."

Gu Ranle snorted and said unhappily, "Who told him to ask me to call her girlfriend as soon as we met? He's not as tall as me, but he wants to pick up girls? If I don't beat him up, who else should I beat up? He actually burst into tears after I beat him up. I don't like boys like that!"

After hearing this, Mr. Luo couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang burst into laughter, his laughter full of openness and joy.

"Haha, he really deserves a beating! That kid is just itching for trouble, he deserves to be punished!"

Seeing this, Mr. Luo asked unwillingly, "You look down on my Luo Jiangdu, then what about my eldest brother Han Ting? He should be more pleasing to the eye than this fiancé, right?"

As he spoke, his eyes flickered with pride and expectation, and he was full of confidence in his eldest grandson.

Before Gu Ranle could speak, Mr. Jiang took the lead, his tone carrying a hint of vicissitudes and wisdom.

"Lao Luo, we were all young once. Good or bad and pleasing or not are two different things. Who can tell the truth about emotional matters?"

His words revealed his feelings about the past years and his deep understanding of the emotions of young people.

Having said this, he paused slightly, as if he was lost in some memories. Then he let out a long sigh, with a hint of helplessness and relief in his eyes.

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As old people, we should stay out of other people's business so that we can live longer."

After saying this, he turned his gaze to Gu Ranle, his eyes full of kindness.

"Le Le, I plan to announce to the public tomorrow morning that you are my granddaughter. Do you agree?"

Gu Ranle heard this and nodded gently, "I have no objection."

Old Master Jiang nodded and continued, "At the same time, I would like to announce that I have severed the father-daughter relationship with your mother. Although this is a bit cruel, I think it is necessary." His tone revealed a determination and firmness.

Gu Ranle was slightly stunned when he heard this, but then he regained his composure, "Just make the decision."

At this time, Mr. Luo looked at Mr. Jiang, then at Gu Ranle, with a sly and curious look in his eyes, and asked, "Mr. Jiang, tell the truth in front of Lele, do you know where your daughter is?"

When Mr. Jiang heard this, his eyes instantly became sharp, as if he could see through everything.

"I don't know. From what you say, do you know?"

Mr. Luo shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely tell you. We have been friends for many years. How could I hide something like this from you?"

At this time, Gu Ranle interjected: "You two don't have to fight anymore. Maybe she will show up tomorrow."

The two old men looked at her at the same time, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Gu Ranle smiled and said, "Don't look at me. I don't know either. I'm just guessing."

Although it was just a guess, her intuition told her that Jiang Lan and her first love would definitely show up tomorrow.

After the banquet, the guests left in groups of two or three or alone, bidding farewell to the Luo family one after another.

After saying goodbye to the Luo family, Gu Jingcheng took the Gu family away.

Before leaving, Gu Ranle specifically called Captain Gao aside and gave him a few instructions.

"Have you arranged all the people I asked you to arrange?" Gu Ranle asked.

"Don't worry, boss. Everyone is in place." Captain Gao's voice was steady and powerful, revealing a reassuring strength.

Gu Ranle nodded with satisfaction, "Have a safe trip. When you go back, Gu Xiuyuan will return to the crew. In addition to Ashan, arrange for two more people."

"it is good."

After finishing the explanation, Gu Ranle watched the Gu family's car slowly drive away until it disappeared from sight.

Fu Hanting keenly caught the flash of worry in Gu Ranle's eyes.

He asked in a low voice: "Do you need me to send more people to ensure your safety along the way?"

Hearing this, Gu Ranle raised a gentle smile and politely declined his kindness. "I appreciate your kindness, brother, but I don't need any additional escort at the moment. Thank you for your concern."

Fu Hanting nodded and changed the subject, "The old man said he wants to go back to Gucheng with you to live for a while tomorrow."

"I'm sorry," Gu Ranle said, "I just thought about this on impulse and didn't have time to discuss it with you. It's not as convenient as Gu Cheng's treatment here, and now I'm the old man's goddaughter, so it sounds reasonable for him to come back to my house and live with me for a while. Big brother, what do you think?"

Fu Hanting said he had no objection, "I have no objection. I can see that the old man is looking forward to going to Gucheng. But, given your family's current situation, will it cause you trouble where he lives?"

"It won't cause any trouble, but the old man might have to live in a mobile home. I don't know if he can get used to it."

"The old man has never been picky about accommodation conditions. When he was in good health, he didn't stay in the room. He insisted on camping in a tent in the yard. He said that he could sleep better when looking at the stars."

Gu Ranle nodded, "If accommodation is not a problem, everything else will be easy to deal with."

"When do you plan to leave?" Fu Hanting asked.

"If there is no change, let's do it tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

It is no small matter for Mr. Luo to visit Gu Cheng, especially the issue of safety must be guaranteed.

Based on the current relationship between Fu Hanting and Gu Ranle, he is not yet at the point where he completely trusts her.

What's more, he doesn't fully trust anyone except himself.

After Fu Hanting left, Gu Ranle was still standing there, seemingly lost in thought.

It was not until Song Yu pushed Li Shenzhi closer that Gu Ranle was freed from his chaotic thoughts.

Li Shenzhi looked up at her. His cold brows softened completely at this moment. There was a gentle light flashing in his eyes, and his voice was so gentle that it seemed to melt the ice.

"Bao, do you want me to come back to the city now or tomorrow?"

Gu Ranle lowered her head, her eyes intertwined with his, and she responded softly, "Just follow your heart. I plan to go back tomorrow anyway."

"You'll be back tomorrow?"

Li Shenzhi's eyes lit up instantly, like the brightest stars in the night sky, and a childish smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Then I've decided. I'll go back with you tomorrow."

He paused, then added expectantly, with a barely perceptible hint of coquettishness in his voice, "Okay, baby?"

Gu Ranle's face remained calm, "Not good."

"why?"

"There may be some trouble tomorrow, and I may not be able to take care of you."

Upon hearing this, Li Shenzhi was silent for a moment, and then the corner of his mouth once again curled up that silly but extremely innocent smile, as if he was a child who got a favorite toy.

[Ding Dong!]

【Favorability +10】

[Host’s current favorability: 30%]

What a guy who is easily moved, Gu Ranle muttered to himself.

Maybe it’s because I lacked love since I was a child.

She sighed silently in her heart, feeling ashamed of her insincerity.

Alas, how can she be so unscrupulous just to gain favorability?

Leaning over, she stretched out her hands, held Li Shenzhi's face and rubbed it hard.

"Stop laughing. You look like a fool. I still like your serious look."

Li Shenzhi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"Then what should I do?" He sighed softly, and the sound was like the sound of drizzle brushing against green bamboo, dripping with cool and pleasant water drops. But in this coolness, it carried lazy and warm words, echoing leisurely in the air, with a special kind of moving sentiment, "Baby, I am just so happy."

The man in front of me, who was once so cold and aloof from the world, now seems to be surrounded by a warm breath, and becomes full of the warmth and reality of life.

Such changes make people feel both strange and familiar.

After having a full meal of dog food, Song Yu turned and left.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

Gu Ranle stood up and followed his back with his eyes.

Song Yu did not turn around, but responded calmly: "I ate too much dog food, I have to digest it."

"Wait a minute, don't leave in such a hurry. I have to go out for a while." Gu Ranle said hurriedly.

Song Yu stopped and turned around, his eyes revealing concern: "Where are you going?"

"I have something to do." Gu Ranle answered vaguely.

"What's the matter?" Song Yu's intuition told him that this matter did not seem simple.

"Just going to buy some things." Gu Ranle lied, thinking secretly in his heart, "I will be back before the evening."

Song Yu knew that he would not get anything out of asking any more questions, so he could only remind him: "Be sure to pay attention to safety when driving."

"Don't worry, I understand." Gu Ranle nodded.

The driver drove "Xiao Hei's" car over and she drove away alone.

"Gu Xiaohei, report on the situation over there with Gu Jingcheng."

【Woman, what do you take me for? 】

"dog."

After a slight pause, Gu Ranle added two more words, "System."

Gu Xiaohei was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, there was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice.

[Woman, don't go too far! ]

"How did I go too far? Is it just because I asked you to report Gu Jingcheng's situation? I am pushing the plot forward, do you understand? Or do you think I should do nothing all day and just hang around Li Shenzhi to improve his favorability, so that it wouldn't be too far? Listen carefully, I am a flesh and blood person, not a puppet that you can manipulate at will!"

【…】

"Also, you bastard, don't forget that we are in the same boat. If I fail to complete the task, you will not have an easy life either. Do you believe that I will complain about you? Don't think I don't know that your system also has assessment indicators. Let me guess, the deadline is approaching, and you haven't completed the task. Has your boss already given you a serious warning?"

[There are currently several cars following them, but they are still waiting and watching. ]

"How many? Whose are they?" Gu Ranle asked.

[Seven cars, three of which belong to the Luo family and four to the Jiang family.]

The number is quite a lot.

[Woman, I have to remind you that those people have guns. ]

At this moment, the convoy that Gu Jingcheng and his group were traveling in was speeding on the ring road. The surrounding vehicles were flowing continuously, forming a natural barrier.

Even if those with ill intentions have plans, they have to restrain themselves in such an environment.

Therefore, they are safe for the time being.

Gu Ranle quickly called Captain Gao and said, "There are seven cars following you, and they are armed with guns."

"Understood. Got it."

Captain Gao responded in a concise and powerful tone, while keeping on talking to Gu Ranle, dispatching his men to carry out the operation in an orderly manner.

The convoy quickly drove away from the ring road and lined up in an orderly manner to enter the highway.

Just at this moment, several vans that had previously departed from another highway entrance also arrived at this intersection accurately.

The timing was impeccable.

Captain Gao's car was at the end of the convoy. When passing through the toll station, the vehicle suddenly stalled, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not start it again.
