CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 405: GETTING UP EARLY IS NOT AS GOOD AS GETTING UP SMART

Gong Ruini yawned, slowly got up from the kang, and prepared to go to the bathroom.

The girl who drank too much water before bed really couldn’t handle it. Gong Ruini really wanted to smack herself, knowing she was about to sleep, how could she drink so much water.

Drinking too much water before bed easily causes a puffy face. Her already somewhat chubby little face was probably going to be unpresentable.

Gong Ruini, yawning drowsily, was heading to the bathroom, but when she reached the door of Cai Ming’s room, she was suddenly startled by several black-clad figures inside.

Why are there so many masked people in black clothes? It feels like they could rob a bank, just without the tools.

Wait, this isn’t a bank; this is the Northeastern Rural area in the 1970s. How could there be so many people? Could it be the same people from yesterday wouldn’t give up and popped up again today?

Scared, Gong Ruini immediately wanted to raise the alarm. Even if there’s danger, she couldn’t let them take down her home in one fell swoop.

"Ni Zi, why are you awake?" Gong Ruini was really frightened seeing these people, but she didn’t know that Zhao Xuran and the others were just as scared.

Fortunately, Zhao Xuran and the others reacted quickly. Otherwise, they would awaken a whole bunch of people, especially Zhao Guangran and the twins; otherwise, they would definitely cause a ruckus.

What, the black-clad figures were actually Zhao Xuran and the others? What was going on?

Why are they scaring people in the middle of the night? Don’t they know they could frighten someone to death?

Gong Ruini was just about to give Zhao Xuran a few punches to indicate he couldn’t scare people like that when she suddenly remembered and asked, "What are you doing?"

Hmph, something must have happened. Otherwise, why would they dress like this? As for why they would be like this, Gong Ruini understood, "You guys plan to teach Wang Gang a lesson."

No courtesy in not reciprocating, since Wang Gang once again made a move, if they didn’t retaliate, he would really think they were easy to bully.

Gong Ruini had previously felt that everything at home was strange today. Clearly, someone had bullied them yesterday, and even though Wan Qiweng drove them away in the end, Zhao Gang letting them go so easily really made Gong Ruini puzzled.

It turns out they had already thought of a countermeasure. Hmph, sneaking out again without taking her along made Gong Ruini very dissatisfied.

"You clearly promised last time you would take us," Gong Ruini brought up the promise Cai Ming made last time. In short, missing out last time was already very regrettable; if she missed it again, Gong Ruini would really cry to death.

There’s no reason such a fun thing only Zhao Guangran got to do, and she had never experienced it, right?

Ugh, why does this kid want to go out? Cai Ming regretted how he agreed so readily back then. And now, the kid was actually waiting for him here.

To agree or not to agree? Cai Ming thought for a moment, "It’s cold outside, and we don’t even know how the situation will be."

Aside from Zhao Gang and Gong Tao, who had been to the production team where Wang Gang was during his relocation, the others had never been there, and none of them had any idea about where Wang Gang lived.

The group didn’t succeed with yesterday’s actions, and it’s unknown whether Wang Gang had prepared.

If he had prepared, dealing with Wang Gang would be really problematic.

If this had been said in the first half of the night, Gong Ruini might believe it, but it was already the middle of the night. Even if Wang Gang had prepared, he should be asleep by now.

"Ni Zi, behave," Gong Tao tried stepping forward to persuade Gong Ruini to leave, "Daddy will bring you something fun in a few days."

Fun? What fun could there be these days? Is there internet? Are there cell phones? In short, it’s a time when there’s nothing, and Gong Ruini thought it was better to go out and see the excitement.

Seeing his stubborn daughter wouldn’t agree no matter how much he tried persuading her, Gong Tao really found it tricky, "We’re going over on snowboards."

Since everyone had been staying home to review lessons this year, they hadn’t taken their snowboards out. But previously, everyone used these snowboards to do many things, so after testing them today, they found they could still handle them, which relieved everyone.

Claiming it was a last-minute decision, Gong Ruini unceremoniously rolled her eyes at Gong Tao. This was her honest father, who couldn’t deceive people, just had a tight mouth, couldn’t even figure out how to cover up a lie to his own family.

"If you don’t take me, I’ll wake up Zhao Guangran," Gong Ruini threatened unceremoniously, and she certainly had a big mouth.

Sigh, this kid is just so unpopular. Gong Tao really didn’t like his daughter behaving so unreasonably, but he couldn’t help giving in.

If Zhao Guangran was woken up, that little ancestor would definitely kick up a fuss. In that case, how were they supposed to get their revenge?

This matter had to be resolved swiftly; Gong Tao and the others never intended to drag it out too late, "Alright, we’ll take you, but you can’t cause any trouble."

"Keep yourself in check."

"Don’t rush into dangerous places." This was Gong Tao’s strongest insistence; if his beloved daughter encountered something fun, she would surely rush out, and what if the other side suddenly got violent?

"Okay, okay," Gong Ruini listened to them listing their conditions, pouting in dissatisfaction, thinking, are they just seeing her as a burden?

Hmph, although she hadn’t learned martial arts, it wasn’t like she was that useless, right? Gong Ruini was really displeased in every possible way.

"Alright, let’s go," Zhao Gang saw it was really getting late and didn’t plan to drag it out any longer, wanting to get it over with and head back home soon.

During the winter, sleeping with his wife was the most comfortable thing; sneaking out on a cold winter night was seriously taxing.

Stepping out from the warm house, Gong Ruini felt the December air was bone-chillingly cold, making her want to rush back in, get on the kang, and quickly wrap herself in her quilt to pass the time.

But thinking about the fun she’d miss made Gong Ruini perk up, and realizing she could also sneakily startle Zhao Guangran, she felt her body wasn’t as cold anymore.

Zhao Gang initially thought Gong Ruini would get cold from the wind and want to go back; they knew she was too lazy to head out during the winter, with the excuse that it was too cold outside and her body couldn’t handle it. They wondered if this cold weather would make her return.

"Let’s go, let’s go." They all thought she’d head back, but how could she? She finally got this opportunity, and Gong Ruini was determined not to miss it.

Alright, Zhao Gang could only instruct everyone to get moving quickly, "Be careful along the way."

"And everyone, don’t stay too far apart."

So Zhao Gang led the team, with Gong Tao bringing up the rear, guiding everyone towards where Wang Gang was.

The late night was eerily quiet, so quiet that it even had Gong Ruini spooked, honestly making her somewhat regret why she insisted on coming out for the commotion.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t take back the regret, and Gong Ruini could only diligently keep up.

In short, she hoped there’d be something interesting to see today; otherwise, she’d really have lost out big time.
