N-A-A Chapter 323 Another Book
Chapter 323 Another Book
Li Youquan's mood now seems to have undergone subtle changes. Perhaps it is because of Li Baomin's patient persuasion, but he finds that he is no longer as impatient as he was at the beginning.
He began to learn to calm down and savor every detail.
However, when he was about to leave, he couldn't help but pick up the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the table again.
Even though they didn't find any clues in the book at first, he still wanted to find other people to take a look to see if there was anything they had overlooked.
"You little brat, you finally came back, why don't you stay at home for one more night?"
Li Baomin looked at Li Youquan who looked like he was about to leave, and couldn't help but say something with some dissatisfaction.
Li Youquan stopped and looked back at Li Baomin with a helpless expression on his face.
He knew that Li Baomin cared about him, but he also had his own difficulties.
Seeing Li Youquan's expression, Li Baomin knew that he shouldn't say anything more.
He quickly waved his hands, indicating that he didn't want to talk to Li Youquan anymore.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. Let Xiao Meng take you back later."
Li Baomin sighed and waved his hand to signal Li Youquan to go first.
When Li Youquan went downstairs, he saw Meng Qingxiang waiting for him at the door.
Meng Qingxiang has always been by Li Baomin's side. Although he doesn't talk much, he always cares about everyone silently.
Li Huifen and Honghong also stood aside, looking at Li Youquan eagerly.
They hoped that Li Youquan could stay for one night, but they also knew that he had his own things to do.
"Aunt, I've been really busy with work lately. When I'm done with this, I'll definitely come back and spend some time with you guys."
Li Youquan looked at Li Huifen's expectant eyes and explained helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Li Huifen was immediately disappointed.
But she also knew that Li Youquan's matter was important, so she didn't say anything more.
But Honghong threw herself into Li Youquan's arms and hugged him tightly.
"Brother, you must finish your work quickly! Honghong will miss you very much."
Honghong's voice was so sweet that Li Youquan couldn't help but soften his heart.
He reached out his hand and rubbed it gently on her red face.
"Okay, okay, I can't bear to leave Honghong, so I will come back to see you as soon as I'm done with my work."
Li Youquan's whispered comfort made Li Huifen's eyes red.
Then, Li Youquan turned around and looked at Meng Qingxiang who was standing beside him.
He nodded slightly to Meng Qingxiang to express his gratitude.
Meng Qingxiang also responded with a smile, and then silently accompanied Li Youquan out of the house.
In this way, accompanied by Meng Qingxiang, Li Youquan returned to his residence.
Because it was late at night, the residents in the courtyard did not know that Li Youquan had returned at this time. In addition, after the previous shock, no one would be so blind as to offend him.
When Li Youquan stepped into the door of the Intelligence Department the next day, his subordinates hurriedly came to him with a detailed investigation report in their hands.
"Director, we followed your instructions and sent people to conduct a detailed investigation in the school."
The subordinate reported respectfully, with a hint of joy involuntarily appearing on his face.
"According to our understanding, there are only two copies of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the entire school library and in the hands of teachers. I just retrieved one copy, but the other one was said to have been lost not long ago."
When the subordinate talked about the lost book, a trace of worry appeared on his face. Obviously, he was worried that this unexpected news would make Li Youquan unhappy.
After hearing this, there was no dissatisfaction on Li Youquan's face. Instead, he seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"How could it be lost by such a coincidence? Did someone find the book in advance and take it away?"
However, Bai Ling, who was standing nearby, couldn't wait to speak after hearing this unexpected news.
She had previously suspected that other forces were also paying attention to this clue, so when she heard the news that the book was lost, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her face was full of worry.
She was worried that someone had already obtained this crucial book, which would bring unforeseen difficulties to their investigation.
Li Youquan noticed the change in Bai Ling's expression, so he gently shook his head to comfort her.
"Don't worry, this matter is not as bad as you think."
Li Youquan's comforting actions had no effect, but made Bai Ling frown even more.
"Your investigation this time was very good and efficient. But my side is also making good progress."
Li Youquan's words surprised the men present.
He originally thought that Li Youquan would be angry about the loss of the books, but he didn't expect him to be so calm.
Bai Ling remembered his consolation just now, and finally reacted. She couldn't help but ask.
"Have you made any new discoveries?"
Li Youquan smiled and nodded and replied.
"After I returned yesterday, I wanted to learn more from Hong Hong. Unexpectedly, she accidentally found another copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms on a bench at school."
Li Youquan's words made Bai Ling's eyes light up.
Now that they have the two key books in their hands, this will undoubtedly be of great help to their investigation.
She immediately asked eagerly.
"Did you find any clues from this book?"
The smile on Li Youquan's face gradually disappeared after hearing this question. He shook his head and answered.
"We haven't found any obvious clues yet. But I believe that as long as we continue to investigate, we will be able to find the answers we want."
I remember that last night, Li Baomin and I read the book almost page by page. However, neither the text, illustrations, nor any possible hidden information in the book attracted their attention.
The desire for unknown answers became extremely strong at that moment, and when I found that there was nothing to gain, I couldn't help feeling a little lost.
However, you are not facing this alone now.
Looking around, there were other people present.
Li Youquan quickly adjusted his emotions, hiding his loss and anxiety deep in his heart, not letting anyone notice anything unusual.
He remained calm and thought about his next move.
"If the clue is hidden in the book as they say, it must be very hidden."
Li Youquan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to make a decision.
"We need to find a few more professionals to come together and look at this book again carefully and seriously."
Because of yesterday's experience, he knew that he might not be able to find any clues if he acted alone.
