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

Chapter 340: Treasure Hunt

This silence made Li Youquan and Bai Ling, who were present, feel a little uneasy. They began to worry whether they had used the wrong method.

However, just when they were about to give up, Li Xiaoxuan finally spoke.

Her voice was soft but full of firmness and determination.

"Sister Bai Ling, I have always envied you for being able to fight side by side with Brother Youquan and carry out those challenging missions. I also want to be that kind of person. I want to do my best to help Brother Youquan, and I want to prove that I am not just a rich girl who can only cry and complain. I have my strength, I have my value, and I am eager to prove it all in battle."

These words were like a stream of clear spring water, instantly cleansing the hearts and minds of everyone present.

There was a hint of surprise in Li Youquan's eyes. He had never thought that this seemingly weak little girl would have such a strong desire and determination.

He looked at Li Xiaoxuan deeply, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

Seeing this, Bai Ling knew that there was some looseness, so she quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"Xiao Xuan, do you know? Everyone has their own areas of expertise and mission. You staying in the Intelligence Department to study weapon improvements with Li Ke is also a huge help to us. Your contribution is no less than anyone else's. In some aspects, you are even better than many people."

Bai Ling's persuasion was like a gentle spring breeze, which brought great comfort to Li Xiaoxuan's heart.

She never thought that the work she is doing now would be so important.

However, even so, she still looked at Li Youquan with some concern.

Li Youquan was well aware of Li Xiaoxuan's concerns. He stood up and looked Li Xiaoxuan in the eye.

"Xiao Xuan, I don't think you are a burden. On the contrary, I admire your courage and determination. However, I hope you can understand that this mission requires us to go all out. I hope you can use this time to make our weapons more powerful and add more chips to our victory."

Li Youquan's words were full of trust and expectation. He believed that Li Xiaoxuan could understand his intentions.

Li Xiaoxuan seemed to be moved by Li Youquan's words. She nodded heavily with a determined light in her eyes.

She knew that she would no longer be a rich girl who only relied on others, but a warrior who could stand on her own.

After sending Li Xiaoxuan this "tricky" gift away, Li Youquan and Bai Ling both breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at each other, and then sat down to discuss in detail the next itinerary and the necessities that they needed to bring.

After careful planning and confirmation, they returned to their homes and began to prepare their luggage busily and orderly.

Because he was afraid of being harassed by the people in the courtyard, Li Youquan always left home early and came back late during the two days of preparation.

This also led to the fact that Yi Zhonghai, who originally wanted to cause trouble for Li Youquan, couldn't even see him.

No matter how unwilling you feel, you have to suppress it temporarily.

The most important thing now is to save his reputation, otherwise how can he live his life in the future?

After a night of careful preparation, when the first ray of sunlight in the early morning penetrated the clouds and illuminated the earth, everyone was ready to go.

Early on the third day, they set out on their journey to an unknown destination.

Following the carefully prepared map instructions, the group first took a train to the bustling city of A.

After a short stay in City A, they changed transportation again and headed to a remote small county town under its jurisdiction.

Compared with previous train journeys, this one was particularly peaceful and smooth.

Inside the carriage, passengers were either talking in low voices or resting with their eyes closed, creating a harmonious scene.

Li Youquan and Bai Ling sat by the window, enjoying this rare quiet time, silently praying that the rest of the journey would be just as smooth.

However, in this seemingly peaceful journey, there are hidden undercurrents that are unknown to the public.

With his keen intuition and vigilance, Li Youquan quietly dealt with some potential threats and ensured the safety of the team.

Perhaps only he himself knows these details.

When the train slowly pulled into the small county station, the group immediately changed to a bus and continued on their way to their destination.

However, the journey was not as smooth as they had imagined.

The air on the bus gradually became stuffy, and Li Youquan and Bai Ling both suffered from motion sickness.

This sudden discomfort made both of them look a little embarrassed.

It turned out that there was a passenger on the train with a live chicken. Unfortunately, the chicken left "traces" in the carriage.

The pungent smell quickly spread, making the entire carriage unbearable.

Upon seeing this, Li Youquan quickly opened the car window to let in some fresh air, and discovered that many passengers around him followed suit in an attempt to alleviate the unpleasant smell.

After a lot of suffering, the bus finally arrived at its destination.

Li Youquan and Bai Ling couldn't wait to rush out of the car and stood on the roadside breathing in the fresh air.

Although their faces were still a little pale, their relief at surviving the disaster was evident in their words.

Even the few men they brought with them this time didn't look very good. When they got off the bus, they all looked listless.

The two also knew that the situation was not suitable for setting off immediately, so they made a gesture and sat down against a tree stump on the side of the road to rest, drinking water and adjusting their breathing.

As time went by, their complexions gradually regained their rosy complexion and vitality.

Only then did Li Youquan have the opportunity to carefully observe the surrounding environment. He saw that the surroundings were desolate, with no village in front and no shop behind, which seemed particularly deserted and lonely.

"Youquan, could it be that we really read the map wrong? This place doesn't look like a place where there would be treasure."

Bai Ling also calmed down, and after taking in the surroundings, there was a hint of uncertainty and worry in her voice.

Li Youquan frowned slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure.

He firmly believed that he had not read the map wrong, and he trusted his own judgment and intuition even more.

"I'm sure you're not mistaken."

He said this in a firm tone, as if it was a sure thing.

"The more desolate and deserted a place is, the more likely it is to hide unknown secrets and treasures."

As he spoke, he took out the map again and checked it carefully, then resolutely set foot on the path leading to the mountains.

Seeing this, the others did not ask any more questions and immediately followed, giving Li Youquan 100% trust.

The path was so covered in weeds on both sides that it was almost impossible to discern its path.

But Li Youquan relied on his tenacious perseverance and firm belief, and walked step by step into the mountains.

As they went deeper, the road ahead became more and more rugged and difficult.

Bushes and thorns were everywhere, making their progress quite difficult.
