Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

There was still thick fog on the mountain in the early morning. The deep mountains high up were hidden in the fog. Fu Huaiyuan's words seemed to penetrate the fog and reach Gu Jinhe's ears.

"Over the past year, the Murong family has chosen to fight us head-on."

"Even though I knew I would be taken away by the police, I didn't choose to run away."

"The people of the Murong family seem to have their own pride and persistence. Although they are paranoid in their bones and do things without considering the consequences or whether they are right or wrong, this alone makes people have to admire their courage."

Decades ago, the Murong family won, but they still chose to stay on the hillside and stay away from worldly affairs.

Decades later, the seven great families surrounded the entire mountain, but the people of Murong's family still stayed in the old house halfway up the mountain, and no one left.

In fact, if the Murong family wanted to leave, they would have the opportunity to leave, but they did not. No one, whether from the direct branch or the side branch, left.

Gu Jinhe understood what Fu Huaiyuan meant by this, but no matter what, the direct descendants of the Murong family had a grudge against her for killing her father, including her grandfather.

In his previous life, although Gu Jinhe didn’t know who fired the shot, it was definitely related to the Murong family.

After a long while, Gu Jinhe lowered his eyebrows and said calmly, "Do you remember the stone door in the cave that I mentioned to you last time?"

Fu Huaiyuan: "Dragon and Phoenix Stone Gate?"

In order to find the entrance to Murong's arms and explosives factory, Gu Jinhe and his team found an entrance at the bottom of the mountain under a tree, but this entrance was blocked by a stone gate.

This stone gate is carved with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes, and it looks like it has existed for a hundred years or even longer.

Gu Jinhe: "I have always wondered about this. If we just need a stone door to keep out outsiders, why are there dragon and phoenix patterns carved on it?"

But a hundred years ago, ordinary people were not able to carve this dragon and phoenix pattern.

Those who are not members of the royal family, even kings, princes, generals and ministers, do not have this right or honor without the imperial grant.

Fu Huaiyuan frowned slightly: "Do you suspect the identity of the Murong family?"

Gu Jinhe closed her eyes and leaned on Fu Huaiyuan's shoulder, shaking her head and saying, "These are no longer important. They made a mistake and they must pay the price."

Even in the past, if the emperor broke the law, he would be punished the same as the common people.

What's more, today, we are living in a prosperous and stable era with our country and mountains and rivers intact. Times are different from the past. Some old customs and concepts would be considered a crime now.

Over the years, they have committed countless sins.

Fu Huaiyuan looked down at the person leaning on his arms and whispered, "After this operation, let's get married, okay?"

Gu Jinhe was stunned for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on his face: "Okay."

Gu Jinhe lowered her head and held Fu Huaiyuan's hand, interlocking their fingers, hoping that the rest of her life would be as peaceful and beautiful as it was now.

The two of them sat here for a while before they were called back by Gu Jinrong.

Seeing the two of them walking towards him intimately holding hands, Gu Jinrong was silent for a moment. Thinking of their engagement and Gu Jinhe's feelings for Fu Huaiyuan, he didn't say anything and just pretended not to see it.

"Brother, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Gu Jinrong glanced at Fu Huaiyuan who was standing next to Gu Jinhe, and said in a light tone: "I'm only looking for you."

Gu Jinhe paused, feeling a little amused. She shook her hand, which was clasped with Fu Huaiyuan's, and said, "You go back first. I'll come find you later."

Fu Huaiyuan did not refute. He nodded slightly at Gu Jinrong and turned away.

Gu Jinrong glanced at Fu Huaiyuan's back and said to Gu Jinhe, "I just left you alone for a while and you ran off with someone else."

Gu Jinhe was somewhat helpless: "Second brother, I'm just at the bottom of the hill over there. I can hear you even if you shout. How come you ran away with someone else?"

Gu Jinrong didn't mention this, but talked about something else: "I called you here for something serious."

Gu Jinhe's expression straightened up: "Is there any change in this trip into the mountains?"

Gu Jinrong: "Nothing has changed, just some adjustments."

Gu Jinhe frowned: "Is it related to me?"

Gu Jinrong did not deny it: "Originally, we planned to attack the mountain together, but now you are here. The military has contacted me just now, and they want you to act with them."

Gu Jinhe was a little surprised: "Is this what Qi Hui meant?"

Qi Hui was still the leader of this military operation.

What Gu Jinhe didn't understand was why she was asked to act together with Qi Hui and the others.

Gu Jinrong's face looked a little unhappy: "Qi Hui said that he had worked with you before, and the situation this time is a little special, they need your help."

It’s called help, but it’s just using Gu Jinhe as bait.

Use Gu Jinhe to attract the attention of the Murong family, and then others will find an opportunity to deal with the Murong family.

Gu Jinhe said thoughtfully: "So Qi Hui wants me to go up the mountain with them first to test the attitude of the Murong family?"

Gu Jinrong: "It's true that they asked you to go up the mountain with them, but I'm not sure if it was a test or not."

Seeing Gu Jinrong's unhappy expression, Gu Jinhe suddenly thought, "Could it be that Second Brother is helping me to reject it?"

Gu Jinrong immediately said: "Why can't I refuse? Of course I have to refuse. Qi Hui did this without considering your safety."

"But I can't joke about your safety. Since I brought you here, I must bring you back safely."

Gu Jinhe hit the nail on the head: "It's just that your Jue Qihui didn't adopt it. He wanted you to ask for my opinion, right?"

Otherwise, Gu Jinrong wouldn't have such an ugly expression on his face.

Gu Jinrong said bluntly: "I don't agree."

Gu Jinhe sighed helplessly: "Second brother, I haven't said anything yet, and you say you don't agree?"

Gu Jinrong: "I understand your temper. It is precisely because I understand that I disagree."

Gu Jinrong curled the corners of his lips slightly and said slowly: "Among the eight great families, almost every family has a close relationship with me. Second brother, you know in your heart that I can't hide away."

There are four families that are related to Gu Jinhe by blood: the Gu family, the Xie family, the Yang family, and finally the Murong family.

Liu Shuya and Gu Jinhe are very good friends. Wu Lu stayed with Gu Jinhe for another two years, and with the help of her and Fu Huaiyuan, he became the head of the Wu family.

The Qin family and the Gu family are now related by marriage, so they naturally stand on the side of the Gu family.

Fu Huaiyuan was also engaged to Gu Jinhe, and they were in love with each other. If it weren't for the Murong family getting in the way, they might have been married long ago.

Therefore, each of these eight great families is related to Gu Jinhe.

The involvement with the Murong family is like a knife hanging over one's head, ready to chop down at any time.

Among these eight great families, it seems that only Gu Jinhe is the most suitable one to cooperate with.

Because she alone can contain the other families.
