"Everyone get ready. When I say 'move out,' the first battalion will go up and arrest people, and the second battalion will remain hidden. If anyone resists, shoot them dead."

"Yes," the soldiers began to prepare at this moment.

Zheng Xuyang and his team successfully entered the room and slammed the door shut. This was a signal to the troops and also a way to draw the attention of others outside.

"action"

"Don't move, hands up!"

“biu biu biu”

In just one minute, everyone in the factory except Zheng Xuyang and his group was either captured or killed by the soldiers.

"Xuyang, you can come out now," Ruan Chuanyan said to Zheng Xuyang inside as he walked to the door, then turned to arrange other matters.

"First Battalion Commander, inventory the goods and check for dangers. Second Battalion Commander, keep watch and see if there are any escaped."

After Ruan Chuanyan had made all the arrangements, Zheng Xuyang led his men to his door.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, Commander," Zheng Xuyang and the others said as they approached Ruan Chuanyan.

"Are you injured?"

"They're just superficial injuries, nothing serious."

"It's good that you're alright. Your brother is still in the army. Once things are settled here, let your people go back first, and you can come back with me."

"good"

Then, they stood behind Ruan Chuanyan and watched him make arrangements in an orderly manner. Five minutes later, they heard him say, "Take everyone back and arrange for someone to drive these cars back."

After the soldiers left, Zheng Xuyang noticed their goods were still in the corner. He looked up and met Ruan Chuanyan's gaze through the truck window, then turned to his men and said, "Take the stuff back. If we don't want any trouble, we'll keep today's events to ourselves."

"Don't worry, boss." The brothers also realized that Zheng Xuyang and Ruan Chuanyan were somewhat related. In their line of work, who wouldn't want a life-saving charm? So they would never let anything about what happened today leak out.

When Zheng Xuyang and Ruan Chuanyan returned to the unit, they saw Zheng Xujie waiting at the gate from afar. When he saw their car return, he kept craning his neck to look around.

“Xiao Jie was very worried about you and refused to go back to rest, so we made him wait here,” Ruan Chuanyan said to Zheng Xuyang beside him after glancing at the two brothers in the car.

After getting out of the car, Zheng Xujie immediately ran to his brother's side and asked anxiously, "Brother, are you hurt?"

"It's okay, brother, it's okay. Xiao Jie did a great job. Because Xiao Jie called for help in time, the troops arrived in time, and everyone was saved. Our Xiao Jie is awesome." As he spoke, Zheng Xuyang raised his hand and gently patted Zheng Xujie's head to comfort him.

"Thank you, Second Uncle, for saving my eldest brother," Zheng Xujie turned to Ruan Chuanyan beside him and thanked him.

“Of course, you two brothers should go home and rest first. Your aunt is waiting for you. I have some things to take care of here, so tell your aunt not to wait for me and to get some rest.” With that, he had his bodyguard escort them home.

The guards led the two to the Ruan family's residence. Su Yunxin had been waiting there. After exchanging a few pleasantries and giving them medicine for their bruises and sprains, she went to rest.

Ruan Chuanyan led his men to the garage. "We've checked everything. What's inside the boxes?"

"Reporting to the commander, only one box was opened, and inside was a bull's head," the regimental commander said on the weekend.

"Bullhead?"

"Well! Commander, you should go and take a look yourself." Regiment Commander Zhou couldn't quite explain it either. He came from a peasant background and hadn't received much education, but all his military achievements were earned with his life.

When Ruan Chuanyan went up and saw what was in the box, he was also shocked. How could the ox head of the bronze zodiac animal be here?

"Open all the boxes and see what's inside."

Previously, orders came from above requiring all military personnel to cooperate with the public security department to recover the smuggled cultural relics. Now that Niu Tou is here, could these be the same batch that was smuggled?

Half an hour later, dozens of boxes were opened, filled with various headdresses, stone tools, bronzes, oracle bone inscriptions, bamboo slips, Buddhist scriptures, murals, porcelain, and paintings. Among them were "Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies" and "Landscape in Blue and Green."

Seeing so much national property being sold off by ruthless traitors, the soldiers were filled with rage, wishing they could tear these people to pieces.

"Zhang Shouxin, contact the police and tell them to come over at dawn and say the cultural relic has been found." Zhang Shouxin, commander of the Second Regiment.

"Yes, sir."

"It's the weekend, so you'll have to work the night shift. Have some men watch over these things; no one is allowed near them until the police arrive."

"Yes, sir, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."

"Everyone else, go back and rest."

After making the arrangements, Ruan Chuanyan walked towards the small dark room.

"So, did you say anything?"

"Reporting to the commander, this man's name is Liu Gang. He's a driver for the transportation team. He said he received a mission five days ago to come and deliver a batch of goods tonight, and he doesn't know anything else."

"Did he say where it's being transported to?"

"He said he didn't know. When he received the assignment, he asked his supervisor, who told him to listen to the person in charge of securing the goods."

"What about the others? Have they all been interrogated?"

"They've all been interrogated, they all claim ignorance, and they've all been told to follow orders."

"Is it all just a matter of obeying orders?"

This put Ruan Chuanyan in a dilemma. It seemed that this leader was very well hidden. There couldn't possibly be no leader among the people arrested tonight, could there? But why did everyone say the same thing? Could it be that they had coordinated their statements beforehand?

Ruan Chuanyan personally met with these people and received the same answer from them.
