Siheyuan: Joined the Intelligence Department, my father is a national level

Chapter 353: Evil Heart Returns

After more than an hour's arduous journey, they finally reunited with Li Youquan, Bai Ling and others.

After a brief rest and meal, everyone, led by Li Youquan, headed towards the cave full of mystery and temptation.

The moment they finally stepped into the cave, the scene before them made them open their eyes wide and expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces.

Dozens of boxes were neatly placed there. Li Youquan had not closed the lids just now, so everyone could see what was inside at a glance.

After realizing what was happening, everyone looked at Li Youquan in disbelief.

Li Youquan looked at this scene and couldn't help but curl up a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, which was the confidence and expectation for the upcoming challenges.

However, Li Youquan chose to keep his mouth shut about his mysterious space that could hold everything.

He knew very well how precious and dangerous this secret was, and therefore never revealed a single word of it to anyone.

In order to ensure the safety of the cave and the integrity of the treasure, Li Youquan left two of his men to guard it, and he took the rest of the people down the mountain to look for help.

On the way back, Li Youquan did not choose to return by the same route, but instead used his familiarity with the terrain and wisdom to find a more convenient route.

In just a few hours, they arrived at a prosperous small county town.

"Youquan, are you teasing us on purpose this time? You knew there was a shorter way, but you took us on such a long detour."

Bai Ling looked at the small county town that was so close at hand, feeling both happy and helpless.

She thought of the hardships and difficulties she had experienced in the mountains over the past two days, and couldn't help but feel a little amused at Li Youquan's "prank".

"I was really feeling uneasy at the time, worrying all the time whether someone was following us secretly, but surprisingly, after tossing and turning on the rugged mountain road for several days, I still couldn't detect any suspicious tail!"

Li Youquan continued speaking with a tone that seemed to be somewhat relieved but also somewhat unwilling.

The tortuous route he deliberately designed was intended to lure potential pursuers into exposing their whereabouts so that they could be caught in one fell swoop.

However, what is puzzling is that although they have successfully found the precious treasure, they still cannot detect any trace of the tracker.

"After all, the news of Tsuchiya Taro and Matsushita Jiro's arrest had already spread like wildfire to every corner."

A trace of worry flashed across Li Youquan's brows. He always felt that something was not right about this matter.

"Those enemy agents who are also eyeing the treasure should be paying close attention to our movements, but their silence makes me feel uneasy."

Li Youquan expressed all the doubts in his mind, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

In fact, the news of the arrest of Taro Tsuchiya and Benjiro Matsumoto was like a bombshell that caused a sensation among the enemy spies.

But among them, there are many people who are still hoping for a lucky haul. They stubbornly believe that even if Li Youquan and his team get clues to the treasure, it will be difficult for them to find and take away the treasure in a short time.

After all, they have invested a lot of manpower and material resources for this treasure, but have gained nothing so far. How could Li Youquan get it so easily?

However, this group of people obviously underestimated Li Youquan's luck and wisdom.

They had never expected that Li Youquan could successfully find the treasure in such a short time with just a clue and unremitting efforts.

After the group safely entered the small county town, Li Youquan immediately found a secluded and safe place and reported the operation in detail to his superiors.

After learning that someone would be responsible for taking over this batch of precious supplies, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and led his men on their journey home.

After Li Youquan and Bai Ling returned to hand in their tasks, they went back to their respective homes, ready to enjoy their long-awaited rest time.

This mission was a big challenge for them both physically and mentally.

Therefore, what they need most at this moment is sufficient rest so that they can restore their energy and meet future challenges.

As for those cunning enemy spies, they were put aside for the time being.

Li Youquan and Bai Ling believed that one day they would come face to face with these uninvited guests again.

Then, it will be time to settle old accounts once and for all.

Li Youquan was even secretly looking forward to that moment. He imagined the enemy spies' frustrated and angry looks after learning that they had successfully found the treasure, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

However, while Li Youquan was immersed in his own thoughts, an uninvited guest was quietly watching his every move.

This person was Yi Zhonghai. He was in trouble because of the punishment he had received in the steel mill before, and his life in the courtyard became extremely difficult.

He knew very well that if he continued like this, he would be excluded by everyone sooner or later, so he urgently needed to find an opportunity to change the status quo.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes fell on Li Youquan who had just returned, and a bold plan came to his mind.

He wants to use Li Youquan's return to reverse his image.

He decided to use the tactic of inflicting pain on himself, hoping that through a carefully planned "accident", everyone's views of him and Li Youquan would change.

Because Li Youquan had not been at home in the past few days, Yi Zhonghai's plan had not been implemented. But when he saw Li Youquan finally return to the courtyard, a glimmer of hope immediately flashed in his eyes.

When night fell and everything was quiet, Yi Zhonghai quietly slipped out of the door under the cover of darkness.

He was nervous but full of anticipation as he made his plans.

On the other side, Li Youquan fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.

It was not until the next morning that a sudden noise woke him up from his dream.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked out the window at the sky which was just slightly bright, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Although some people get up at this time on weekdays, it definitely wouldn't be this noisy.

"Hurry up! The yard is on fire! Everyone, help put out the fire!"

The anxious shouts broke the tranquility of the early morning and woke Li Youquan up instantly.

"Bang bang bang!"

The rapid and powerful knocks on the door broke the silence of the night and echoed throughout the courtyard like an alarm.

"Youquan, wake up, wake up! Something terrible has happened. The yard has suddenly caught fire and the fire is spreading rapidly. Hurry up and help put out the fire. One more person means more strength!"

From outside the door came the anxious call of a neighbor, with an unquestionable urgency in his voice.

Li Youquan was instantly awakened by the series of knocks on the door and shouts, and all his sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
