"": 200, "": "", "": "Still, Luo Bin really did make a trip home.
Keeping an eye on the time, he hurried toward home.
Into the courtyard, into his room, into the Underground Room.
Luo Bin wasted no time. He was watching the clock, because night was falling!
Gu Ya was sitting on a stool in the corner of the Underground Room. At the sight of Luo Bin, a flicker of delight crossed her eyes, and she sprang to her feet.
"Xiao Shan, where's your dad? Did he come back too?"
Luo Bin answered at once, "Dad will be back soon. It's all right, Mom. Zhong Zhicheng can't do anything, and he wouldn't dare."
Having He Gui go and speak to him was undoubtedly a form of pressure too.
Yes, Zhong Zhicheng was no ordinary man, but he was the Village Chief. He had to consider the entire village, so he certainly couldn't go too far.
Besides, if Luo Bin made things sound too dangerous, Gu Ya would only worry more.
Sure enough, Gu Ya let out a long sigh of relief, gently patting her chest.
"Mom, I need to go out again. Once Dad comes back, neither of you needs to worry. I'm safe," Luo Bin said again.
Gu Ya's expression shifted slightly. "But it's almost dark, Xiao Shan," she said uneasily.
"I know. It's all right." Luo Bin remained calm and composed.
With that, Luo Bin turned and left the Underground Room.
Gu Ya stood there in a daze for a long time.
Luo Bin's expression, his movements, the sight of his retreating back-he looked so much like Luo Feng in his younger days.
His steadiness, his refusal to panic when trouble arose, his unruffled composure-that resemblance was even stronger.
She quietly sat back down.
