On the northern border of China, a Mucang battle is taking place. A team of soldiers is fighting a group of smugglers. The reason is naturally that these smugglers are preparing to flee to the northern country E with a batch of national cultural relics.

Lu Chen looked at the battlefield with a telescope. Nearly fifty smugglers had been surrounded by a group of soldiers. Although these smugglers were surrounded, they were still fighting hard and trying to fight their way out. But Lu Chen would never give them a chance. He must capture them all today. If not, no one would be able to leave alive.

"Captain, it seems that the most important person is missing among these people?"

Lu Chen took the telescope and looked at it, but his face turned gloomy and he closed his eyes.

"Arrange another team to check on the beach. Don't let that man escape. He holds a lot of state secrets. If you can't find him, kill him directly and leave no one alive."

The sound of wooden boxes coming from not far away was mixed with the screams of people who had been trapped in the boxes. Lu Chen listened without even raising his eyelids. He looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and thought of the Youth League Home, and the voice and smile of that person. He shook his head with a wry smile. It was better for him not to provoke her. It looked like she had no good feelings towards him at all. Every time she saw him, she would glance at him with disgust on her face.

After a while, the sound of the wooden warehouse gradually stopped, and Lu Chen stood up and walked over.

"Captain, no one escaped. They were all wiped out."

"Well, that's good. Nothing is damaged, right?"

"Captain, we were all very careful, and everything is intact."

"Alright, leave a few people here to guard the beach, and the rest of you rush to the dock. That's the seaside, and that's where these people are planning to escape. Team Two has already gone there, so send some people over here to provide support. It's best to find that person for me."

At dawn, Lu Chen looked at the three people who were escorted here, smiled, and walked up to them.

"Director Wu, long time no see! I didn't expect you guys to be so bold as to smuggle national cultural relics. I bet you've done a lot of this over the years, right?"

When Director Wu saw Lu Chen, the glimmer of hope in his heart completely disappeared, and his face turned pale.

When he was caught on the beach, he was still thinking about whether he had a chance to escape, but now, the moment he saw Lu Chen, he knew that his life was over. He knew Lu Chen well. In recent years in Beijing, Lu Chen was a leader among the younger generation.

Lu Chen sneered, "Take him away and keep him under strict supervision. I'll deal with him after I report to the higher-ups."

"Vole, take the people back! I'll go back first too. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. When we get back, divide up into groups and keep an eye on these people. They can't leave your sight for a moment. The rest of you should have a good New Year too. And by the way, interrogate them about what's on the mountain in Zhengjiatun?"

After explaining everything, Lu Chen got on the jeep and left the border, heading towards Quan County.

Early in the morning on New Year's Day, Gu Tingyan had just gotten up and was about to make some dumplings when he heard a knock on the door. He got up and walked towards the door. When he opened the door, he saw his son Gu Xueyuan standing outside the door with snow-white hair.

Gu Tingyan looked at Gang Gu Xueyuan in surprise.

"Didn't you say before the New Year that you wouldn't be coming back for the New Year? Why are you back now?"

Gu Xueyuan pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly and said.

"Dad, you have to let me in first! Don't you know it's cold outside?"

Only then did Gu Tingyan remember that he had forgotten to let his son in, and hurriedly stood up to make way.

"Come in quickly. Are you cold? How about I make you some dumplings first?"

Gu Xueyuan was feeling very hungry, and when he heard Gu Tingyan say this, he spoke.

"Okay, let's talk about it after dinner!"

After a busy day, the father and son had their meal and then started talking about business.

"Dad, I'm afraid it will take some time for grandpa and grandma to come back. They've had a hard time these past few years, but things are much better now because the policies have changed and the people there don't treat them badly anymore. They just look a lot older now."

Gu Tingyan didn't say anything, but sat there in deep thought. Gu Xueyuan didn't say anything either, drinking the dumpling soup. It is said that the original soup dissolves the original food. Gu Xueyuan didn't know if it was true, but in this cold day, drinking the boiling hot dumpling soup made him feel very happy.

"Have you told your grandparents about your third uncle's family and Yuqi's situation?"

Gu Xueyuan put down the soup bowl, exhaled the hot air and shook his head.

"What can I say? It's just about Uncle San's family. There's nothing much to say. They didn't ask. I guess they're still sad about Uncle San's newspaper announcement severing ties with them!"

Gu Xueyuan himself didn't know, but Gu Tingyan heard a hint of gloating in his words. He glanced at Gu Xueyuan.

"Your Third Uncle has come to my place three times recently, but I haven't seen him once because I don't know what he would say if I saw him."

Gu Xueyuan didn't say anything when he heard this. In fact, he had been paying attention to Gu Tingkai's family.

"Dad, I've also investigated everything. That Gu Yulan is really not Third Uncle's child. Gu Yulan's biological father is really just as Director Chen said. Her biological father is Director Liao. Last year, Liang Qingshu even wrote a letter to Director Liao, asking him to deal with Yuqi, but he failed. Not long after, Director Liao had his legs broken."

Gu Tingyan could understand the meaning behind Gu Xueyuan's words, and he guessed that it was Sun Yuqi who did it.

"Nonsense, Yuqi doesn't have that ability!"

Gu Xueyuan shrugged.

"I don't know, and I didn't investigate carefully. Let's just leave it at that! Director Chen and his team couldn't find out who did it, so the matter was left unresolved."

"Besides, Gu Yulan has gone crazy and turned into a fool. Dad, to tell you the truth, my third uncle probably won't come to see you anymore because he's been arrested."

Gu Tingyan was shocked when he heard this, and stood up and asked in surprise.

"What happened? He came here to look for me a while ago. When was he arrested?"

"I just heard about it yesterday, to be exact, after I got off the train at 1 a.m. this morning."

"My colleague who picked me up after I got off the train at one last night told me that he had sent someone to kill someone in the village in Northeast China where Yuqi was working. The person they killed was General Lin's granddaughter, Lin Muran. You should have seen her. She and Yuqi had a good relationship. Of course, the person who went there failed. If they had killed Lin Muran, they would have killed Sun Yuqi next."
