"Chirp"

"Chirp"

A few bird calls suddenly rang out in the night!

The men in the landlord's family, who were already restless, suddenly sat up in bed upon hearing the bird's call.

Then, he gently patted the woman beside him to wake her up, and the two of them quickly got up and walked towards the door.

Upon opening the door, one sees three people dressed in black.

The landlord's family showed a hint of joy upon seeing the visitors.

He then carefully closed the door and gestured for the three people to follow him.

After that, the group quickly headed towards the back of the mountain.

This time, the black koi quietly followed behind it.

Before long, the group arrived at the cave in the back mountain.

After that, the man from the landlord's house went straight up and opened a box, revealing the gold inside!

Immediately afterwards, the three of them stepped forward to examine the contents of the box!

Then, satisfied expressions appeared on their faces.

“Well done! What you mentioned earlier has been approved by the higher-ups. Once these things are transported away, you can leave with them.”

The man who was clearly the leader of the three spoke to the landlord's man, a hint of excitement on his face at seeing so many gold bars.

"Good, good, good, we will definitely help you get this done." The landlord's face lit up with surprise after hearing the words of the leader of the men in black, and his voice was filled with excitement.

"Well, because this matter is of great importance, the higher-ups have sent the three of us to find out the truth first."

"It has been confirmed that someone will be coming soon to take all these things away."

"As for you, you can also leave this place without any problems." There was a hint of seriousness in his voice.

"Now, what you need to do is make sure all these things are in good condition before people arrive! There can be no mistakes!"

"Yes, okay, we promise to do it well," the landlord's man said earnestly, his voice filled with solemnity.

The group then restored the box to its original state and left the cave.

As they left, the leader of the men in black took out two gold bars and put them into his clothes so he could report back.

When the landlord's husband saw the three men in black descending the mountain from the other side and walking briskly down the slope, a hint of wild joy appeared on his face.

"We can finally leave this place!" His voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Yes, after all these years, we can finally leave this awful place!" the woman said with a similar expression of overwhelming joy.

"I never imagined that I would end up staying here for so long when I was just here to carry out a mission!" The man's face was cold and his voice changed from agitation to indignation.

"Fortunately, although we didn't complete our mission, we were lucky enough to discover this batch of gold bars, which gave us the opportunity to leave!" the man continued, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, that's right. I can't wait to go back after being away for so long!" the woman said immediately, her urgency evident in her voice.

"Next, we must guard this valuables carefully!" the man concluded, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Yes!" the woman said firmly, her face also revealing a hint of coldness.

The two then went down the mountain.

As for the black koi, it returned home first.

It turns out that this landlord family wasn't actually the real people! They were enemy agents sent here on a mission twenty years ago!

Twenty years ago, in order to better complete their mission, the two of them secretly murdered the young master and young mistress of the local landlord's family.

Then, through disguise and other means, they impersonated the young master and young mistress of a landlord's family!

Unfortunately, not only did he fail to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors in the period that followed, he also happened to encounter the incident of landlords being classified as the "Five Black Categories"!

Afterwards, because they failed to complete the task and did not perform well, the higher-ups had no intention of bribing them to leave.

So they stayed here!

During this period, I kept trying to contact them to leave, but I never received a reply!

This time, they finally received a clear reply when they contacted the higher-ups after discovering the batch of gold bars they found in the back mountain!

"Master, there was some commotion on the back mountain last night!" Xiaobai said to Mo Qian in the space.

His face still held a hint of excitement, as if after so many days, he had finally discovered a clue and was extremely excited.

"What's that noise? What happened?" Mo Qian's face showed surprise after hearing Xiao Bai's words, and her voice was filled with doubt.

“Master, three outsiders came to this village last night.”

"After entering the village, they headed straight for the landlord's family."

"After that, the three of them followed the men and women among the landlords to the cave in the back mountain!"

"Judging from their words, they will be moving this batch of gold bars and jewelry away soon."

"The landlord's entire family will disappear along with them!"

"Someone will be coming here soon!"

...

Xiao Bai explained the situation to Mo Qian in detail, her voice tinged with seriousness.

"Hmm, as expected, that landlord's family does have problems, and quite serious ones at that!" Mo Qian deduced from the details after hearing Xiao Bai's words.

His face still held a hint of calm, but his voice carried a chilling undertone.

"Yes, Master. Judging from their words, they are eager to leave and trust those three very much."

"More importantly, they mentioned something about a mission! That's very suspicious!" Xiaobai added, his voice serious, his face grave.

"Well, if that's the case, then when the others arrive later, they'll probably be able to connect everything," Mo Qian said, a serious look on her face.

"We'll continue to keep an eye on that landlord's family; things might not be so peaceful in the near future," Mo Qian said, her voice serious and a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, Master." Xiao Bai replied quickly after hearing Mo Qian's words, with a serious look on her face.

In the following days

The entire village seemed to be living a peaceful and idyllic rural life. Apart from those who knew the inside story, no one noticed the turbulent undercurrent beneath the calm surface!

Even the landlord's family worked peacefully without causing any disturbance.

Knowing that it would be leaving soon, the black koi restrained its temper and did not try to hold back during this last period of time!

And he behaved himself and didn't show any rebellious behavior!

And so, not long after, one night, a group of people quietly arrived at the back mountain!

The three men in black who had visited the village before were also among them!
