It's much more convenient at home. Washing up is easy, and you can eat whatever you want, or even go out to buy it.

When Mu Chen returned from the hospital, he seemed to be in good spirits, but he was tired, so he simply went to lie down on the bed first.

Because Captain Qin and Xiao Lu often stay at home, there are rooms specially reserved for them.

Lin Chuchu tidied herself up and wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but was chased away by her grandmother and Aunt Li.

Grandma can't stay idle; she likes to work alongside Aunt Li.

Dinner was plentiful, including lean meat porridge and bone broth specially made for Mu Chen, as well as braised pork ribs with green beans, a large fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried celery with rice noodles, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and cucumber salad.

This meal is already quite lavish.

Today is the happiest day for this family. Everyone was extremely worried when they learned that Mu Chen was injured these past two days.

Even the two noisy children quieted down considerably.

In the evening, Da Bao and Xiao Bao clung to their mother for a while, and Lin Chuchu didn't send the two children back to their room until bedtime.

Just as I was about to go back, I saw Captain Qin walk in from outside.

Lin Chuchu just saw a figure flash past the door; it looked like a member of Qin's team.

"Comrade Lin, the higher-ups just called to urge you to go back tonight."

Team Leader Qin sighed silently to himself, wondering what urgent mission could be so pressing.

Lin Chuchu was also taken aback and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll go prepare the things now."

Lin Chuchu seemed a little down. Mu Chen observed her expression and asked, "What's wrong? Did they call you back?"

"Yes, let me go back tonight."

"Then you should go quickly, be careful in everything, and call home when you have time."

Mu Chen had nothing to complain about; their jobs were similar, so he simply reminded her to be careful.

Lin Chuchu wasn't one to be sentimental, so she nodded and said, "Stay home and recover well, take good care of yourself, and ask your dad and the others for help if you need anything."

Lin Chuchu gave him some instructions, still worried.

Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, go ahead, don't keep them waiting."

Lin Chuchu sighed, quickly packed her things, and left the room.

The base must have something very important to do that they urgently summoned her back to; she couldn't afford to waste any time.

The car drove for two hours before arriving at the base entrance.

The lights were on at the base's main gate, and two soldiers were on guard.

In the center of the gate stood a man, the leader, who would occasionally walk around the gate with a cigarette in his hand.

It was late at night, and Lin Chuchu hadn't expected the commander to come and pick her up in person.

Lin Chuchu got out of the car and quickly went to greet him.

"Sir, what brings you here?"

The leader threw his cigarette butt on the ground and said, "Comrade Lin, you're finally back. Let's talk as we walk."

The commander pulled Lin Chuchu back into the car and said to Captain Qin, who was acting as the driver, "To the sergeant base, to my office!"

Then he turned to Lin Chuchu and said, "We've been investigating who harmed Comrade Mu these past few days, and today we finally got a lead on Xiaoji. We urgently called you back because we received some information."

Tomorrow morning, some trucks will depart from Beijing, carrying a considerable amount of antiques, artifacts, and gold and silver jewelry.

They will be sent to the beach overnight to hide them, and then smuggled out of the country when the opportunity arises.

Lin Chuchu's eyes widened instantly. "Japan? Japan has such strength?"

"No, the other party is from the United States."

Japan has long been defunct in name only; it doesn't even have warships anymore, so it's impossible for it to have that kind of strength.

What can I do?

Lin Chuchu asked with a serious expression. She didn't know who the other person was, nor did she need to ask. When the time came for her to find out, the leader would definitely tell her.

The priority is to stop the goods; we must not allow Chinese goods to end up abroad.

She will avenge both national and personal grievances in the future.

“We’ve found the hiding place of those things, and our people have infiltrated it. I’ve discussed with my superiors and asked you to make replicas of the cultural relics. As for the gold and silver jewelry, we’ve also made some fakes. Please replace them with the fakes.”

As for why they didn't steal everything, they naturally had their own plans.

These things can definitely be exchanged for something of equal value, so why not exchange everything first and then have the government stop the goods?

This would both prevent the loss of cultural relics and make the United States pay a price.

Lin Chuchu's eyes widened; she really wanted to ask the leader how their people had infiltrated.

However, time was of the essence, and Lin Chuchu did not want to waste any time.

They soon arrived at the military base, where the commander took her directly to a warehouse filled with gold and silver jewelry.

Of course, these are all fake. The gold bars are painted with gold paint, and the pearl necklaces are made of plastic.

The jade pendants are made of the lowest quality jade; they look like jade, but they're worthless.

The others are all fake.

"How...did you do that?"

The leader coughed and said, "These things only look convincing on the surface; the inside is even more fake."

Okay, that makes sense.

Lin Chuchu packed her things and got into the car to leave.

This time, the team leader is not Team Leader Qin, but Team Leader Qin must also go, along with ten other people in the group.

Lin Chuchu could sense that the car was veering further and further off course, clearly not heading into the city, but rather up the mountain.

When Lin Chuchu got out of the car, she gasped when she saw her surroundings.

This place turned out to be a cemetery.

I don't know which family's ancestral tomb it is, but it's quite luxuriously built. However, no one has paid respects there for a long time, and it looks rather desolate.

The ancestral graves are surrounded by mounds, some of which are almost flattened.
