"What should we do with this?"

Such good evidence, it would be a shame not to make use of it.

Cheng Chao was referring to the ridiculous radio on the ground. Cheng Zhuo tapped his knee with his finger. Yes, it would be a waste not to use the evidence delivered to their doorstep.

"Since they're so enthusiastic, let's add fuel to the fire and make it even more lively."

Cheng Zhuo is kind to others, but he has also fought on the battlefield for many years, and his life has been on the line countless times. He is not stupid.

If it were just a difference in political views, it wouldn't warrant such a blow to his death. But this radio station—it's not just a matter of him turning things around; it's a recipe for his entire clan's extermination.

People aren't even leaving him a way to survive, so why should he do good deeds?

After searching around, he pulled out an inconspicuous note from a crevice beneath the radio, unfolded it with his long fingers, and sneered.

"Look at them, they're afraid they won't be able to kill me with one blow!"

Cheng Chao leaned closer. The palm-sized piece of paper was filled with reactionary words, expressing dissatisfaction with the ruling leaders, criticizing current policies, and finally expressing loyalty, stating that he would definitely find clues to the treasure as soon as possible.

The signature was naturally Cheng Zhuo.

Cheng Chao muttered to himself,

"Treasure? When did this rumor start around here? I've never heard of it."

Cheng Zhuo's face was full of mockery.

Not fresh.

Ever since I arrived, there have been rumors circulating here, saying that some dynasty accumulated treasures hundreds of years ago and hid them here, unwilling to let their kingdom be taken away, and keeping them as capital for a possible comeback someday.

The story has been circulating for years, and hundreds, if not thousands, of people have come looking for it. So, what have they found out so far?

"Treasure?"

This is simple and interesting, so I quickly came over, intending to ask more questions. Just then, I heard footsteps approaching outside the door. Although they were deliberately being quiet, even in a simple case, it's just a matter of lightness or heaviness.

He immediately got up, quickly tied up his bundle, picked it up, and retreated to the corner.

“Someone’s coming,”

Cheng Chao and Cheng Zhuo quickly noticed. Cheng Chao took a few steps over, picked up Jian Dan and put her on the window, then flipped himself out.

Just as we closed the window, the door to the solitary confinement cell was suddenly pushed open.

The four people inside all looked terrified.

She climbed out the window, quietly found a corner, and called out to Cheng Chao.

"Do you know who tried to harm Second Uncle? Do you know where they live?"

Cheng Chao knew she wasn't one to stay put, but since they were in the shadows, they didn't need to be so reserved.

What do you want to do?

Simply and decisively, I rolled my eyes.

"Don't you have a mission? Hurry up and go, this thing..."

He weighed the radio in his hand.

"I'll handle this,"

Having just asked for the person and address, and now she's bringing this up? Cheng Chao's first thought was that she was going to use the same old trick again, delivering the things to their door. So he reminded her...

"Without a legitimate reason, it's impossible to search the home of a leader without cause."

"Oh, don't worry, you don't trust me to handle things?"

He waved his hand dismissively, but Cheng Chao was really not at ease with him. The main problem was that he did things in a very unstructured and arbitrary manner.

"Alright, be careful. Once you're done, find a safe place to hide. I estimate that if things go smoothly, we can get the results in two days."

Jian Dan was in a great mood at the moment, so she gave a few random instructions and quickly disappeared.

Cheng Chao shook his head helplessly, and soon lost interest in thinking about it, disappearing into the night in a few steps.

At this point, if Cheng Zhuo makes a wrong move, he really doesn't know where he might be exiled to.

Unlike Cheng Chao, who overthinks and worries about this and that, Jian Dan is so simple that if she doesn't want anyone to see her, even Cheng Chao might not be able to catch her.

Moreover, judging from the situation, after listening to what Cheng Zhuo just said, what else is there to not understand? It's not even certain whether he'll be here tomorrow, so why not hurry up and settle scores?

She didn't care what tricks Cheng Chao used openly, but behind the scenes, she would definitely make them suffer in silence.

First, she took the bundle back to Cheng Zhuo's house, then put it back at the original address.

They've already set up the stage, and she's taken it all away. How disappointed they must be!

After leaving the Cheng family home, Jian Dan followed the direction Cheng Chao pointed out and ran all the way there.

After working for half the night, a sliver of light has appeared on the horizon, and it will be dawn in half an hour at most.

Simple also wants to finish quickly and find a place to rest.

The military compound was heavily guarded, but it didn't stop Jian Dan. He dodged and weaved his way through the crowd, and by the time he reached the door of that house, it was already getting light.

To her surprise, her family was already up at this time.

The cave dwellings were the same, with thick mountains behind them. After looking around, I climbed up the half-meter-high wall and onto the roof. Although the space wasn't big, it was enough to hide her.

Using the cover of the side, she hung half-upside down by the window, getting a clear view of what was happening inside.

The man's attire made him look like he hadn't slept all night, rather than having just woken up.

He sat upright, flipping through the blueprints in his hands, discussing with the person opposite him.

"Has the location of this blueprint been determined?"

The person opposite was rubbing their temples.

"For now, it seems to be the area behind the Cheng family's house. There's a small path behind there that leads directly to the west wing of the Cheng family's house, but the Cheng family doesn't know about it yet."

On the other end should be the entrance to the treasure marked on the map. Right now, the Cheng family is in the limelight, so we haven't dared send anyone to scout ahead. We'll send the Cheng family away in a couple of days, then I'll find an excuse to move there. Whether it's for building a house or something, it'll make sense.

Treasure? Over there on the path?

Jian Dan's eyes lit up. "No way, really?"

Cheng Zhuo just mentioned this rumor, and now it's confirmed?

This incredible fortune has been delivered right to my doorstep?

The man took off his glasses and leaned back wearily in his chair.

"Sigh, I really can't bear it, but Lao Cheng's personality is so inflexible. If even a little bit of word gets out, and he gets a handle on it, this whole thing will be ruined. I can only ask him to put up with this."

With a simple shrug, I realized it really was an undeserved disaster.

Chun Chun was blocking other people's way.

"Alright, I'll go and apply for permission to search the Cheng family's house tomorrow. Have you put everything away?"

"It's placed properly,"

"Okay, I'll urge them on my end too. Let's get this over with quickly and try to send them away in two days."

However, they must keep a close watch on things and absolutely prevent anyone from freely entering or leaving the Cheng family's residence.

“I know that I’m using ordinary people, villagers from the next village. Even if others see it, they won’t associate it with us.”

After listening for a while longer, both of them became wary and stopped talking about the treasure. Jian Dan reluctantly turned and left.

Avoiding people, I returned to that alley, ate a quick bite, and then immediately got to work.

She may not be good at other things, but she has a lot of tools.

We're talking about a treasure trove, a treasure trove! So, is that metal detector the right tool?
