They're finally back!

Seeing the familiar faces of Sun Shao-ping and the others, Fu Wan couldn't help but sigh softly.

Bai Qianzhou felt the same way. To be honest, he hadn't felt it on the plane, but now that he saw the leaders, his blood seemed to boil, and he couldn't wait to show them the jade seal he had brought back.

The weather in Beijing is much colder than in Los Angeles. Although it is close to the beginning of spring, the howling north wind is still biting.

Sun Shaoping stared intently at the crowd until he spotted Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou. He then hurriedly led his men forward.

"Comrade Xiao Fu, Xiao Bai, you're finally back!"

"Haha, Commander, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Fu Wan smiled and shook hands with Sun Shao Ping. The old man's hand was icy cold, indicating that he had been waiting there for quite some time.

"Not long, not long! Haha, I received a call from my comrades in the United States early this morning, so I brought my men over to wait."

Oh, I'm so glad you're all back safe and sound!

Sun Shaoping laughed several times in a row, and his subordinates were stunned. Was this the same old leader who usually had a dark face and scolded people everywhere?

Today, the group that came with us were all leaders from the military region and the municipal party committee. I thought we were welcoming some important guests, but it turned out to be just two young people.

Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou exchanged a glance. They both knew what Sun Shaoping cared about most, but Fu Wan wasn't Sun Shaoping's subordinate, so he didn't know how to directly ask for the results.

Retrieving something from American waters is fraught with danger, making the whole thing seem like a fantasy.

"Comrade Xiao Fu...you..."

"Sir, I have successfully completed my mission!"

Fu Wan took out the jade seal along with the silk cloth from her bosom. Sun Shaoping carefully took it. This was not the place to open the silk cloth. He felt the outline of the jade seal through the cloth, then immediately stood up straight and saluted Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou.

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades. On behalf of the organization, I thank you!"

Seeing Sun Shaoping salute, the people behind him also saluted Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou in unison, and Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou hurriedly returned the salute.

"It's our duty to make things easy for you."

There were still a few passengers walking at the back of the plane. Although Fu Wan and her group had a lot of people guarding the side to block their view, they were still watching the scene from afar and were muttering to themselves.

Where did this high-ranking official come from?!

Good heavens, they were actually on the same plane as a high-ranking official. How come we didn't notice before?

Upon receiving the imperial seal, Sun Shao-ping was so excited that he forgot all about the subsequent procedures.

This is also Jin Huashi's fault. He only informed Fu Wan and the others at the embassy of their return time, but did not inform the organization about the completion of their mission.

Seeing Sun Shao-ping's happy expression, Zhu Yao-hui, the vice mayor of Beijing, immediately guessed that the two comrades had done a good job in their mission.

Besides Sun Shao-ping, he was the highest-ranking officer here. Although he and Sun Shao-ping were not in the same system, he and Sun Shao-ping were in the same company when he was in the army.

"Hey, Lao Sun, let's send the comrades back first. It's too cold here, and it's not a good place to talk."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm just happy about it. Let's go, let's all go back. Where's Zhang Zhijun? Tell him to notify the museum's experts to go to the military region!"

After Sun Shao-ping shouted to the crowd, someone immediately ran to the airport to find a phone to contact the museum. After making the arrangements, Sun Shao-ping said to Fu Wan, "Comrade Fu, let's go. Let's go to our military region first. I'll have them go to the museum and take a look at some things later."

"Okay, I'll do whatever the leader says."

Fu Wan said with a smile that no matter how eager she was to go home, she had to go to the military region first to explain the follow-up matters regarding the imperial seal.

Seeing that Fu Wan agreed, Sun Shaoping took the lead and walked ahead, carefully holding the jade seal in his hand. There was no other way; this thing was too precious, and they hadn't thought of preparing a box or anything, so they could only carry it like this.

A string of cars drove out of the airport, a rare sight even in Beijing, where four-wheeled vehicles are already a rarity, with only a handful occasionally seen on the streets.

With nearly ten vehicles in a row, followed by two military jeeps, even elderly people on bicycles couldn't help but stop and take a look, let alone pedestrians on the road.

Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou were pulled into Sun Shaoping's car. As soon as they got in, Sun Shaoping began asking them about the process of searching for and retrieving the jade seal.

When Fu Wan said that Smith's positioning was problematic, Sun Shao-ping turned pale with shock.

Those damn foreigners, how dare they play them for fools!

Although Fu Wan glossed over the dangers along the way, Sun Shao-ping could easily imagine how difficult their trip had been.

Finding only a general location in the vast ocean is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, he sent Fu Wan, and fortunately, Fu Wan was good at maritime transport and had good abilities. Otherwise, if something really happened, even if he took off his clothes, he would not be able to give the old comrades of Fu Family Village an explanation.

The airport was a bit far from the Beijing Military Region, but time flew by as Sun Shao-ping kept asking questions along the way.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and cars entered the military area one after another. After the sentries at the gate checked the identities of the people, they were allowed to pass.

After the car came to a stop, Sun Shaoping led Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou toward the military region's conference room. Upon seeing Sun Shaoping and the others enter, an old man with white hair sitting in the conference room immediately stood up with his eyes shining.

"Sir, is there some kind of treasure?"

"Hurry up and show it to me!"

Sun Shao-ping snorted at the old man's worthless appearance, "Why are you the only one here? Does the museum look down on me, Old Sun?"

"What do you mean, 'alone'? Can't I do it alone? Those useless ones are all in the back. Hehe, my son and I live in the military region. That's called being close to the water tower and getting the moon first!"

The old man wasn't afraid of Sun Shaoping at all. Seeing that there were no unfamiliar faces besides Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou behind him, he immediately reached out to shove them away.

Seeing this, Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh. The scene was so beautiful that she almost dared not look at it.

"Alright, alright, stay away from me, I'll take it out right now!"

Sun Shaoping took several steps back. This old man Qin was older than him. He was the father of Brigade Commander Qin of the military region and also a nominal expert at the museum. He could only be invited to come out of retirement when appraising major treasures.

It was just a coincidence that the old man got there first today.

However, it's also because someone else's son is so successful; he works in the military region, while Sun Shao-ping has to take an hour-long bus ride back here. The old man probably didn't even need to walk five minutes to get to the conference room.

Sun Shao-ping and he were old acquaintances, used to bickering, so he didn't have time to joke with him now and carefully took out the jade seal and placed it on the table.

"Comrade Xiao Fu, please unfold this silk cloth!"

"good!"

Fu Wan responded and quickly unfolded the silk cloth under Old Man Qin's expectant gaze. The meeting room was well-lit; it was just past 1 p.m., and the sunlight streamed in, falling directly on the jade seal.

This scene was utterly shocking to Sun Shao-ping and his companions. Good heavens, this jade seal was even emitting a golden light! It truly deserves to be called a national treasure!
