to get closer, she would have to go down into the valley and then to the hilltop where the speakers were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too risky and would expose her easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another person was speaking with the first, but the voice was too low for Gu Youyou to hear clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have said that you will not lack reward upon completion of the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But is it done now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ran off with a man, such a big issue, and you didn’t even inform us.”Gu Youyou felt more and more confused as she listened: “…”What is all this about, such a mess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seems somewhat interesting;

it seemed it wasn’t about chasing after the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Youyou pondered, a large hand gently patted her shoulder; at this late hour, she shivered with fright and let out a scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the scream didn’t come out, as another large hand swiftly covered her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the owner of the hands, Gu Youyou finally exhaled a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say scaring someone can scare them to death, and it’s not a bit untrue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darn it, she was almost scared to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you come here?” Gu Youyou whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?” Jin Zijin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>",716,"2026-06-06T06:54:47.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","f448ad52b5f1e920b08ce962d4752aa94ada056a0d6659999548962563edf9a3","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-279","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-277",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
