These people came empty-handed, so the confrontation between the two sides did not last long. Soon, more than a dozen people lay on the ground, and Wu Lu tied them up with their belts or shoelaces.

Gu Jinhe frowned slightly as he looked at these people. They didn't look like people sent by the Yang family.

It seems like...

Suddenly at this moment, explosions were heard from the direction of the farm house!

"boom--!"

Gu Jinhe felt the ground beneath her feet was shaking. She steadied her steps. Was this an earthquake?

She turned her head to look in the direction of the farm house, and saw a huge black mushroom cloud floating in the sky ahead.

That was the billowing smoke from the explosion in the farm house. Gu Jinhe's heart tightened, thinking that Shu Mo was inside the farm house. But before she could take a few steps, Wu Lu came forward to stop her.

"what are you up to?"

Gu Jinhe frowned: "Shumo is still in there, I want to go over and take a look."

Wu Lu still stopped her and said, "It will be useless for you to go in this situation. We still don't know what caused the explosion. What if there is another explosion if you go?"

Gu Jinhe knew that Wu Lu was right, but whenever she thought of Shu Mo, she felt uneasy. She was the one who brought the person out, and she had to bring him back safely.

In the end, Wu Lu did not stop Gu Jinhe and watched her leave without looking back.

Wu Lu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and looked down at the dozen people on the ground. He pointed at them and said coldly, "Stay here obediently and don't move. If I don't see you when I come back, I will go to your homes one by one to catch you. I have memorized your appearance. Don't even think about escaping!"

These people had their hands and feet tied tightly, and were lying on the ground with painful expressions. I don't know if they heard what Wu Lu said, but at the moment they didn't have the ability to escape.

Gu Jinhe and his bodyguards quickly ran towards the farmhouse. On the way, they met people who had escaped from the explosion site. They were all black and smoking, and some had burn marks on their clothes.

Gu Jinhe hurriedly glanced past them and did not see Shu Mo. The closer he got to the farmhouse, the more he could see that the explosion was concentrated inside the farmhouse.

A few minutes later, Gu Jinhe arrived at the scene of the explosion. There were already many people standing outside. Some of them were in pain and standing unsteadily, shouting someone's name at the top of their lungs. Others were looking at the ruins of the house with worried expressions.

The explosion blew off half of the roof of the house, and the flowers and plants planted outside disappeared without a trace. The ground was covered with broken glass and tiles. The scene was extremely tragic.

Gu Jinhe looked at the ruined house and the flames coming out of the exposed parts of the house. She frowned and ordered people to investigate the cause of the explosion and to find Shu Mo.

When Wu Lu came over, he saw Gu Jinhe and his men cleaning up the scene. The flames in the room had been extinguished. When the people around saw that the fire had been brought under control, they immediately organized several young men to go in and rescue people.

It turned out that there were people taking a lunch break inside. The explosion happened suddenly and they did not have time to escape. There was an open space nearby where more than a dozen people were lying. They all had injuries on their bodies. These were people who were close to the explosion site.

While rescuing people, Gu Jinhe was distracted by thinking about Shuhua who was fishing in the pond. He didn't know whether she returned to the farm house halfway. There was such a big explosion here, and she came over from the high slope. However, the pond was not far from here, but Shuhua did not come over.

"Shu Mo--" Gu Jinhe dug through the rubble with a long stick, calling Shu Mo's name.

“... Miss?”

Gu Jinhe was stunned, looked at the ruins in front of him and shouted: "Shu Mo?"

"Ahem... Miss, I'm here." There was a movement at the bottom of the ruins, and then a hand covered in black ash stretched out.

Gu Jinhe immediately asked all the bodyguards to come and move away from the ruins, and quickly rescued Shu Mo who was trapped under the ruins.

After Shu Mo was carried out, he saw the worried Gu Jinhe and said, "Miss, I'm fine."

When the explosion occurred, Shu Mo was about to come out to find Gu Jinhe, so she was not far from the door. However, because she was close to the explosion range, she was unable to escape and was crushed underground by the collapsed roof.

Shu Mo's legs were crushed by the fallen pillar and he fell to the ground, unable to move, so he was not rescued immediately.

Gu Jinhe squatted down and reached out to wipe the stains on Shu Mo's face. He gave her a comforting smile and said, "I'm glad you're okay. Leave this to me. You go to the side and rest first."

There were still people under the rubble who had not been rescued. Gu Jinhe did not leave just because he found Shu Mo, but continued to ask the bodyguards to move the heavy wooden piles and stones to rescue the people who were still trapped inside.

The entire rescue operation lasted for about an hour. Together with other people, there were about twenty people who finally rescued all the people trapped in the rubble.

Wu Lu looked at the people who were rescued with a frown on his face. The source of the explosion had been investigated. It was a gas leak in the kitchen that caused the explosion.

But Wu Lu felt that something was not normal here. His intuition told him that something was wrong.

But I couldn't find out what was wrong.

Gu Jinhe washed off the black ash on his hands, came to Shu Mo and asked, "Have you seen the calligraphy and painting?"

Shu Mo's injured leg had been bandaged. She was sitting on a chair to rest. Hearing Gu Jinhe's words, Shu Mo frowned, "I didn't see Shu Hua. After I sent the fish over, I sat in the yard for a while. Seeing that you guys hadn't come back, I was going to look for the eldest lady. Who knew that at this moment, a huge explosion sounded in my ears, and I was crushed under the pillar in an instant. For a while, I was unconscious, my ears were tinnitus, and I couldn't hear any sound."

Except for the dozen people injured in the explosion and five or six people who were later rescued from the rubble, no one was in danger of life and no one died. It was a blessing in disguise.

The owner of the farm house was closest to the explosion site and was the most seriously injured person. He was still in a coma when he was sent to the hospital and nothing could be asked of him.

Gu Jinhe turned his head and looked at the messy house. Shuhua was not here. An hour had passed since the explosion. With Shuhua's personality, he would definitely come.

In the end, Gu Jinhe left two people to guard the calligraphy and painting, and took the rest of the people to the pond to look for calligraphy and painting.

Wu Lu looked at Shu Mo who was left behind, and with a heavy expression, he followed Gu Jinhe and said, "Don't you think this is all too coincidental?"

Gu Jinhe paused, then continued walking towards the pond and said, "What a coincidence?"

Wu Lu: "Just as we came here, the farmhouse exploded. If you had returned to the farmhouse after fishing, would you be among the people lying in the rubble now?"
