Chapter 297. Knocking on the Door
Gu Baijiang ignored him. He couldn't talk to this stupid son. If he answered him, he would only end up getting angry and dying.

Gu Kaiping was genuinely afraid that he would make another foolish mistake, so he reluctantly tried to persuade him, "Please don't do that. Even though he was adopted out, our whole family is still one."

If new charges are filed against us with the county magistrate, in the end, these charges will only fall on Father's head. His Majesty won't hold Gu Kaiyuan accountable; he'll only target us, perhaps even exiling us to an even more remote place.

Gu Kaichen was completely exasperated. "So Gu Kaiyuan is enjoying life there, and we can't just stand by and watch, we have to cover for him?"

"If you don't believe in superstitions, then go ahead and do it. Then our whole family can continue on our journey," Gu Kaiping said irritably.

Gu Kaichen immediately shook his head. He had finally made it to this place. Although the house was low and small, it was still better than sleeping in the open every day.

Going to more remote places, who knows what other dangers might arise? It's better to stay put in this place.

"Should we just let them go like this?" There was still a lingering reluctance...

“When Father receives the news from the capital,” Gu Kaiping looked at Gu Baijiang expectantly, “we will return to the capital, and then he will have his regrets.”

The family thought about it and realized it was true, which made them feel a little better.

But when the night was deep and quiet, everyone except the two children tossed and turned in bed.

Seeing Gu Kaiyuan living a good life, who wouldn't be envious?
At the same time, he regretted that he had offended Bai Suihe for a little bit of profit, which was simply not worth it.

She also harbored resentment towards Gu Kaiyuan. They were all family, so why did he have to go so far?

Other families in the village were also discussing Gu Kaiyuan, and at the same time, they all decided in their hearts that they should be even more polite to the Gu family at the end of the village in the future, because even a little bit of money from them would be enough for them to improve their lives.

The mountain village is destined to be anything but peaceful tonight. The Gu family, who have been living in peace for several days, are about to welcome another wave of unexpected guests.

As soon as the man in black arrived at the village entrance, he was spotted by Ming Peifeng's men who were guarding the area. However, this time, the men were exceptionally ruthless, and every move they made was a killing blow.

Although most of them were blocked, two men in black still rushed into the village.

As if they had already found out the location of the Gu family, they headed straight for the small house in the village.

Little did they know that the arrival of people from the Bai family had kept the entire Gu family awake. When they heard commotion at the village entrance, they immediately woke up, put on their clothes, and fled in all directions.

The dangers they had encountered along the way had taught them how to get others to take the blame for them; they couldn't just sit at home and wait to die.

But as if by prior arrangement, they all ran towards the end of the village.

The men in black missed their target and were wondering where to look when they heard a knock on the door nearby. The two men exchanged a glance and then chased after the sound.

"Gu Kaiyuan, open the door quickly!" Gu Kaichen ran the fastest, extremely frightened, and started pounding on the door without a care in the world.

Gu Kaiping wanted to stop them, but it was too late. He knew the noise would attract people, but cursing was pointless at this point, so he could only join in.

The people sleeping in the front yard were all woken up by them. Huang Pingguo came out wearing clothes and vaguely heard the voices of the Gu family elders.

"What are they doing here so late? And why are they in such a hurry?"

Zhuang Datou also came out, "Could it be that something happened to the Gu family?" This family hadn't had a moment's peace along the way, and the two of them were both speculating whether something bad had happened to Gu Baijiang.

But since they had already come to the door, and it was the middle of the night, what if it was an emergency? So Zhuang Tou opened the door, but was pushed aside by a force, and all the people outside rushed in, trying to find a place to hide.

"What are you doing?" Zhuang Datou immediately sensed something was wrong after asking the question; the family's panicked state seemed familiar.

"Quick, close the gate!" Huang Pingguo said and rushed over to bolt the gate, but it was too late. A flash of sword light appeared, and a figure had already entered the courtyard.

"You're trespassing! Get out of here!" Zhuang Datou had already picked up a carrying pole from the corner and was holding it in front of him. Huang Pingguo was also holding a hoe when they saw another person barge in.

They cursed inwardly, thinking, "That damned Gu family, they've brought us trouble again."

I felt a deep regret; why did I open the door?
Gu Kaiyuan had already dressed the moment he heard the commotion. Hearing the noise in the courtyard, he knew that those people had broken in.

He was about to go out, but when he saw Bai Suihe sitting up, he went over and bolted the door, then pushed the cabinet over to block the door. "When I go out, close the window. No matter what noise you hear, don't come out."

Bai Suihe frowned, "They really never stop causing trouble."

The Gu family won't stop until they drive these cannon fodder villains crazy.

"Be careful. There's no need to risk your life for them. If things get really bad, just hand over the Gu family."

Bai Suihe was thoroughly annoyed. Perhaps it was because of the protagonist's halo that the Gu family could still live well despite their reckless behavior, while others were always implicated by them.

The commotion was so loud that Li Dazhuang and the others came out. But when they opened the door and saw two men in black chasing and slashing people in the courtyard with swords, they were dumbfounded. What was going on?
"Tell the women and children to get into the room and hide right away," Lin Hua and Lin Wei shouted. Feeling that these people were no help, they added, "You all go in too and lock the door."

These were all handpicked by Madam Bai to help; we can't let the Gu family be implicated.

Granny Pang panicked at first, but quickly calmed down. "Listen, you two young men, go to your rooms and stay there."

These people were very obedient and quickly returned to their rooms, but Granny Wu stood there without moving.

Lin Wei became a little anxious and quickly went over to protect her, saying, "Granny, you should go into the room too."

Meanwhile, his eyes were fixed on the courtyard. Were these two men in black here to be funny? Why had they been chasing him for so long? They still hadn't managed to cut him down.

With such poor skills, how could you become an assassin? Why did you twist your ankle on such a flat road?
And that guy, he was about to strike Miss Gu, but he missed...

"I'm fine. You should take me there quickly and protect the young lady."

"Granny, don't make things worse. If a fight really breaks out, I won't be able to protect you."

Granny Pang glanced at him and said, "We'll see who protects whom then."

Seeing that these people were about to run to the backyard, Lin Wei didn't have time to reason with her and ran towards the backyard with his weapons.

At this moment, Gu Kaiyuan had already come out of the window and was standing in front of their room, coldly watching this scene.
