After the family split up, I achieved martial arts sainthood.

Li Jinyu's calm questioning voice revealed a composure that seemed to see through everything.

Gu Xin was not surprised at all; Li Jinyu was intelligent and often remained calm in critical moments.

It's only natural that he could see the irrationality of the move.

Gu Xin smiled and met Li Jinyu's gaze without hesitation, saying, "I can't hide it from you, Brother Jinyu, but I didn't mean to hide it. It's just that it's a very important matter, and I dare not speak frankly."

The killing of Cao Bao has always harbored repercussions.

He worried that telling Li Jinyu and the others would make them look foolish during the Qinglin Gang's investigation.

On the other hand, it was also because they didn't want Li Jinyu and the others to bear a psychological burden.

After all, the reason he ambushed and killed Cao Bao was obvious.

Faced with Gu Xin's concerns, Li Jinyu did not press him, but earnestly advised, "Xin, we don't care what you're hiding from us. I just want to tell you that we trust you, and you deserve our trust."

Zhao Baoyin, Li Rengui, Zhao Yongfu, Liu Sufeng, Zhang Fang, and others all nodded in agreement with Li Jinyu's words.

They all stared intently at Gu Xin, their determined gazes as if they were about to join the Party.

Gu Xin took in everyone's expressions, thought for a moment, and then stopped hiding it, saying directly, "I killed Cao Bao!"

What?

As soon as Gu Xin finished speaking, everyone in the room was shocked and speechless.

But everyone quickly realized it was inappropriate and covered their mouths, afraid of disturbing the neighbors on either side.

"Ah Xin, are you... are you serious?"

Li Jinyu trembled with fear, her expression one of shock, and she looked at Gu Xin with extreme seriousness.

The calmness and composure he had previously displayed had completely vanished.

"Cao Bao is a master who has practiced martial arts for many years, and you... you've only been at the martial arts school for a few days? How could you..."

Zhao Baoyin was also shocked, and her voice trembled as she looked at Gu Xin and pressed him for answers.

"It's a long story, but in short, everything I said is true."

Gu Xin shrugged and smiled: "I not only killed Cao Bao, but I also targeted the Qinglin Gang people in the past two days."

hiss!

Everyone gasped in shock, their expressions filled with horror as if they had seen a ghost.

They never dreamed that Gu Xin would secretly do something so earth-shattering behind their backs.

They had been wondering who was so bold as to provoke the Green Forest Gang.

They even mistakenly believed that living gods had descended to earth to help them turn misfortune into good fortune.

Unexpectedly, the living god was right beside them.

"Ah Xin, you can't just say things like that!"

Zhang Fang's eyes welled up with tears as she solemnly took Gu Xin's hand and gave him a reminder.

The Green Forest Gang is not to be trifled with.

Over the years, there have been instances of people resisting the Qinglin Gang's exploitation.

But all those who resisted died, and died horribly.

Gu Xin claimed to have killed Cao Bao, further disrupting the peace of the Qinglin Gang.

If this gets out, the Qinglin Gang will definitely not let Gu Xin off the hook.

The fact that Gu Xin was able to be honest with them about these things also shows how much he trusted them.

They all suddenly realized why Gu Xin had kept it from them before.

This kind of news is indeed not suitable for too many people to know.

For a moment, Li Jinyu felt a pang of regret, realizing she shouldn't have asked.

"Ah Xin, I'm sorry, I..."

Li Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"It's alright, Brother Jinyu. This matter can't be kept secret any longer. The Qinglin Gang will find out soon. So, telling you now won't cause any problems."

Gu Xin waved his hand and smiled, interrupting Li Jinyu: "Besides, we're about to move to the inner city. At that time, even if the Qinglin Gang finds out the truth, they won't be able to do anything to us."

Although the Qinglin Gang was powerful and occupied Qingyuan County.

However, it only extends to the outer city and the surrounding countryside of the county seat.

Within the inner city, the Green Forest Gang's influence could not extend.

Of course, these words were meant to appease Li Jinyu and the others.

Gu Xin knew that if the Qinglin Gang was really pushed to the brink, even the inner city wouldn't be able to defend against them.

However, Gu Xin believed that by then, he would have the strength to confront the Qinglin Gang head-on.

Moreover, no matter how dangerous the inner city is, it is far safer than the outer city.

"Move! We have to move!"

After a brief silence, Li Jinyu stood up and agreed with Gu Xin's suggestion.

After learning that Gu Xin had killed Cao Bao, he realized that he had no choice but to move.

The Qinglin Gang has recently caused chaos in the outer city in their efforts to thoroughly investigate Cao Bao's death.

If this continues, the outer city will be in turmoil sooner or later.

As the instigators, they will be exposed sooner or later.

Escaping this place is undoubtedly the best option.

"Let's go back and pack our bags!"

Zhao Baoyin also stood up and turned to leave without saying a word.

He responded positively with immediate action.

"Baoyin, we won't take your luggage; just take your money."

Li Jinyu stopped Zhao Baoyin and solemnly warned him: "We moved overnight. It was a sudden event. If word gets out, the Qinglin Gang will definitely be alerted very quickly."

"Therefore, we left all our belongings behind to create the impression that we were only leaving temporarily and would return, in order to delay the realization of the Green Forest Gang."

Jin Yu Ge is indeed quick-witted!

Gu Xin secretly admired Li Jinyu's thoughts, which seemed to be a deliberate smokescreen.

With so many troubles happening to the Qinglin Gang, they emptied their belongings and fled overnight.

Even a fool would know that they're guilty and have something to hide.

But if they leave temporarily, they will return in a few days after finishing their business.

Such detailed analysis would greatly reduce suspicion and make it less likely to arouse the Qinglin Gang's vigilance.

After all, in this world, it's quite common to spend a few days visiting relatives and seeking connections, and not being able to go home.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Baoyin quickly understood Li Jinyu's concerns.

He agreed without hesitation.

"Mother, let's go back and get the money to tidy up the house a bit. Father, you wait for us here."

Zhao Baoyin pulled his mother, Liu Sufeng, away.

"Father, Mother, hurry up and get ready!"

Li Jinyu also greeted her father, Li Rengui, and her mother, Zhang Fang, as they tidied up the family's belongings.

"Jin Yu, where are Xiu Mei and the others?"

Zhang Fang, however, was filled with worry, concerned about her future daughter-in-law's family.

"Aunt Fang, don't worry. We can have Brother Jinyu pick you up tomorrow at dawn. He can take your wife and her whole family to the inner city."

Gu Xin smiled reassuringly, "Our house is quite large, so even if we squeeze in, we can still live comfortably. I'll figure out a way to make a living later, and then we can all settle down in the inner city."

Zhang Fang breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Gu Xin repeatedly, prompting Gu Xin to wave his hand and decline.

"Mother, hurry up and get ready!"

Li Jinyu urged Zhang Fang to get busy.

Inside the main room, he and Gu Xin looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

He then put his arm around Gu Xin's shoulder and said with a genuine smile, "Xin, thank you!"

Gu Xin scoffed and didn't bother arguing with Li Jinyu about being pretentious.

The two brothers didn't say anything more, but just waited quietly for their family to pack up.

A short while later, Zhao Baoyin returned with his mother, Liu Sufeng.

The mother and daughter went empty-handed, without bringing anything with them.

Li Rengui and Zhang Fang finished packing up, and only put the little money they had left in their pockets.

Let's go!

And so, the two families quietly left their homes under the cover of night.
