Chapter 42: The Price of Seeking the Truth

After the expedition team handed over the crucial dossier to the relevant authorities, they received no immediate response. During this long wait, Li Yu, Zhang Xue, Wang Lei, and Zhao Min were filled with anxiety and unease. They knew the power of that mysterious organization should not be underestimated; if the dossier fell into their hands, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, they didn't have to wait long. On a stormy night, a mysterious person sneaked into their residence and left a letter. The letter stated that a mysterious organization had learned of the expedition's whereabouts and would not let go of anyone who threatened their safety. The letter also included a photo of the kidnapped Zhang Xue and Zhao Min.

Li Yu and Wang Lei were extremely anxious. They knew that this was a warning from the mysterious organization. They could not sit idly by and must find a way to rescue Zhang Xue and Zhao Min.

After some discussion, Li Yu and Wang Lei decided to follow the mysterious man's request and go to an abandoned warehouse alone to exchange Zhang Xue and Zhao Min. They knew that this was a trap set by the mysterious organization, but they had no choice but to take the risk.

On the way to the warehouse, Li Yu and Wang Lei were fully prepared. They prayed silently, hoping to save their lives at the critical moment and uncover the truth about this mysterious organization.

When they arrived at the warehouse, they found it empty. Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded, and the expedition team was surrounded. It turned out that the warehouse had already been surrounded by members of a mysterious organization, who wanted to capture the expedition team in one fell swoop.

In the fierce battle, Li Yu and Wang Lei fought hard. They knew that this was their last chance and they could not fail. In this life-and-death contest, they paid a huge price, but finally managed to escape the encirclement of the mysterious organization.

However, when they returned to their residence, they found that Zhang Xue and Zhao Min were no longer there. They understood that the battle had just begun. They decided to find Zhang Xue and Zhao Min at all costs and uncover the truth about this mysterious organization.

In the days that followed, Li Yu and Wang Lei searched for clues, trying to find the whereabouts of Zhang Xue and Zhao Min. They interviewed employees of the old hospital and investigated its past history, looking for any information that might help them find Zhang Xue and Zhao Min.

Finally, by chance, they learned an important piece of news: Zhang Xue and Zhao Min were imprisoned by the mysterious organization in a secret base located in a remote mountainous area, surrounded by traps and armed guards.

Li Yu and Wang Lei decided they had to take the risk to rescue Zhang Xue and Zhao Min. They knew it would be a tough battle, but they had no way back. They could only move forward, for the truth and for their friends.

Under the cover of night, Li Yu and Wang Lei quietly approached the secret base. They carefully avoided the traps around the base and successfully sneaked in. After a fierce battle, they finally succeeded in rescuing Zhang Xue and Zhao Min.

On the way to escape from the base, they were chased by a mysterious organization, but they did not give up, they fought hard and finally succeeded in getting rid of the pursuit.

In a safe place, Li Yu and Wang Lei embraced Zhang Xue and Zhao Min and cried. They knew they were finally getting closer to the truth. They decided to continue their investigation until they uncovered all the secrets of this mysterious organization.

However, they also understand that this journey of seeking the truth has cost them too much. They know that their lives will never be the same as before. But they also understand that for the sake of truth and justice, it is all worth it.

They will continue to move forward until the very end, because they believe that the truth will eventually come to light.
