the old horse's back. In his hand, he played with a pair of seemingly ordinary small round balls. Although they weren't big, their intricate patterns inside could only be seen with a magnifying glass....At first, Jiang Yan worried that the Zhang family might scapegoat her out of desperation. After all, only she and they were alone during the dispute at the educated youth point and the trip to the grove. 。If Zhang Xiaonu fought back, even if not to save someone, Jiang Yan might still find himself in trouble just because of the "spy" label. After all, she came from a wealthy capitalist family. 。Fortunately, the Zhang family did not take extreme action. With testimonies from He Jian Guo and two guards, as well as the whereabouts of unknown individuals like He Baoguo, their counterattack proved futile. 。Faced with Zhang Qingfang's emotional outburst, he wanted to rush forward, but was sternly stopped by his father. Apparently, he knew his daughter's character well. 。He calmly stated, “This is a good thing. At least it exposed the internal vulnerabilities, otherwise our family might face even greater danger.” 。He gently nudged his younger brother beside him, the relative connected to Zhang Qingfang. The latter's eyes burned with anger as he stared at his unconscious sister-in-law, but he held back from acting, only nodding deeply at his older brother. 。After that, Jiang Yan no longer interfered. Zhang Qingfang was then ordered to return to the educated youth point. On the way, she several times looked at Jiang Yan and He Jian Guo, beginning to whisper in a low voice about the past entanglements between her uncle and aunt-in-law. 。As it turns out, Uncle and Aunt were lovers back in their school days. They were separated due to some circumstance, and the younger brother was forced to marry someone else. Little did he know that his wife passed away soon after, leaving him with a child. 。Not until their child was three years old did they reunite by chance. 。"Zhang Qingfang, you better keep your mouth shut. Your brother-in-law's deep feelings for her will only make your family a higher risk target for espionage." 。Jiang Yan listened, shaking his head inwardly. This simplistic thinking seemed to think that Xiaonian's spy identity was caused by her. 。Seeing Zhang Qingfang's tears streaming down her face, Jiang Yan felt sympathy but still thought her words were too sharp and put pressure on people. 。"Enough, you all blindly trust him. Is Li Min really a good person If it weren't for your trust, there wouldn't be this conflict. Instead, you've only burdened Lu Hong and Jiang Yan." 。He Jian Guo was agitated at this time, but Liu Ai Min started a confrontation first, which left everyone else stunned. 。Although Liu Aimin was not as astute as Zhang Changqing, he was usually cautious and spoke softly. This time, however, he dared to contradict them, which showed that his dissatisfaction had been building up like a mountain. 。Everyone rarely saw Liu Aimin so excited, they all silently returned to the educated youth spot. 。

Lu Hong was injected with an excessive amount of anesthetic. Even after resting for a day, she still felt dizzy and unwell; Jiang Yan's situation was even worse, his forehead was swollen like a ripe cherry, he didn't even dare to move his head slightly. In contrast, Zhang Qingfang was considered lucky, only suffering skin injuries, but the mental blow was undoubtedly greater.

Three women fell ill, so the responsibility of cooking naturally fell on the men. 。He Jian Guo is a skilled chef, but he is unwilling to serve others. He just throws together a bowl of noodles soup carelessly. 。Then, he cooked a pot of rice porridge and mixed a small bowl of fragrant oil-based pickles, specially prepared for Jiang Yan. After saying that, he ignored him again. 。Jiang Yan sat at the desk, a black leather notebook in his hand. A mischievous kitten was perched on his lap, while a larger cat lay languidly nearby, observing the scene. 。It's time to eat. 。He JianGuo saw that the table was full of clutter and had to put the bowl on the edge of the kang. He thought to himself, "Tomorrow I have to get her a small desk." 。However, when he saw Jiang Yan walking over slowly holding a cat and handing him a notebook, his surprise was beyond words. 。This black leather notebook was unexpectedly discovered by them during their last visit to their great-uncle, in the underground construction site. 。Jiang Yan, relying on his insight, deciphered the hidden secrets within — a detailed list of the treasure's origins and how it was transported in batches to Japan. 。The notebook was filled with private and personal emotions, the writing beautiful, reminiscent of the style of later Japanese writers. 。This notebook belongs to a man named Sato Ichiro, who once dreamed of becoming a writer. 。The content expresses a deep longing for home and family, admiration for the magnificent scenery of China, and reflection on war. 。He was sent here to explore the “underground palace,” and seemed quite pleased about it. 。However, Jiang Yan showed He Jian Guo something other than these everyday trivialities. 。During this time, Jiang Yan almost went crazy researching the contents of this notebook. 。Her understanding of Japanese was limited to simple words like "Aliado," "Hashi Doumaki," and "Ama Dai," starting from scratch, which nearly drove her to the brink. 。Luckily, while tidying up her space, she found some language learning DVDs, which gradually helped her get the hang of it. After mastering the skill of using a dictionary, she learned grammatical rules with the help of the DVDs, translating those handwritten characters and notes word by word. 。The key turning point was on the last page of that notebook. The Japanese traveler, during a shopping trip, unexpectedly encountered a Chinese girl surrounded by wolves. His heart was deeply touched. Afterwards, with the sudden change in the war situation, they faced an evacuation order. He yearned to share his final wish with her before parting ways. 。The notebook came to an abrupt end at this moment, recording his longing. 。About that mysterious treasure, Jiang Yan had a vague hunch. The calligraphy in the acquisition station, without a doubt, was the handwriting of that Japanese officer. 。Now her destiny is intertwined with He Jian Guo's, and she decides to share this secret with him. 。Based on the handwriting list, it seems that the treasure was scattered and hidden rather than kept as a whole. 。Imagine if we actually found that legendary fortune in Qingshangou, what would you do 。Jiang Yan stirred the porridge gently, but his gaze was fixed on He Jianguo. His voice was slow and measured, as if he were engaged in a profound discussion. 。If this were a usual time, He Jian Guo might have advocated for transparency, but the current turbulent social environment has made him realize that such wealth would only invite danger. 。He knew well that revealing clues carelessly was akin to playing with fire. Even if he reported it through his channels, the credit might not fall to him, and the ultimate destination of those precious heirlooms remained unpredictable. 。Then we'll play it by ear. 。He Jian Guo smiled faintly. He wasn't a person who clung to outdated rules. He knew that good things didn't have to happen immediately, and that they were more impressive when they occurred in a stable environment. This wasn't foolish, but a wise choice. 。Jiang Yan nodded in agreement, yes, it should be handled appropriately, allowing this wealth to gradually surface over time, and then gradually used for public welfare. 。He Jian Guo's mouth twitched with anticipation, as if he had already seen the blueprint for the future. 。"Things have been tense lately, we've had enough experience for now. Let's rest and recuperate first." 。"He JianGuo smiled and lightly tapped Jiang Yan's forehead. Her quick wit amused him yet made him feel helpless, as if she was testing his resolve." 。"Well, I'll be going back to Shandong next month to pay my respects to my ancestors." 。Jiang Yan nodded and said, "June to August is the slack season for farming. She could take this opportunity to go home and at the same time, move the Jiang family's wealth to a safe place." 。Cao Mingyu's letter reminded her that many people coveted the Jiang family. She was unwilling to take risks, even though she could abandon the astonishing treasure, but the family's honor must be protected! "I'm willing to go with you..." 。He Jian Guo proactively volunteered, imagining himself publicly revealing his identity in front of the Jiang family elders and then formally proposing marriage. His eyes sparkled with anticipation. 。However, Jiang Yan's words made him instantly understand her intentions, his heart filled with a mixture of loss and worry. 。"When I get back, I promise you" 。Seeing his slightly disheartened look, Jiang Yan couldn't help but smile. She understood his little scheme, but she still agreed. 。He Jian Guo, let our time prove the depth of this journey. 。ll, Jiang Yan finally found the familiar boundary stone. The anxiety in his heart was lifted. 。She looked forward to the coming land contracting reform. At that time, she would definitely be the first...
