Chapter 139 Midnight Operation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Several people began their operation in the middle of the night.
Xu Qingmo was being led by Shen Jiang's hand. After taking a few steps, she heard footsteps behind her. Xu Qingmo turned around warily and saw that Wang Jingwen had prepared two eggs, one for Xu Qingmo and one for Shen Jiang.
Xu Qingmo took the warm egg and felt a warmth in her heart.
"Take the eggs with you for the journey. Here's some other food. Don't go hungry or thirsty on the way." Wang Jing's eyes were filled with reluctance. If she didn't have a mission, she would have gone with them.
"Mom, why don't you go back and get some more sleep? It's still early."
The moon was bright and the stars were few outside; the weather was quite nice.
The moonlight shone on Wang Jing, as if she were coated with a layer of silver light.
She stood there, a coat draped over her shoulders, looking both sacred and noble.
At that moment, Xu Qingmo silently vowed to herself that she would make sure the world remained at peace.
She wants the people she cares about to live better and better lives, so they don't have to worry about their loved ones carrying out dangerous missions.
Shen Jiang stepped forward and hugged Wang Jing. "Go back and get some more sleep. We're leaving now."
"You must come back safely."
"We will."
After Xu Qingmo and Shen Jiang left, Wang Jing stood there for a while before turning away and going back to her room.
In another room, Lu Ting watched everything happening outside through a crack.
The reason he didn't come out wasn't because he wasn't worried about Xu Qingmo and Shen Jiang, but because he didn't want to cause them unnecessary trouble.
He silently prayed that Xu Qingmo and Shen Jiang would have a successful time this time.
The four people gathered at the entrance of the family compound. According to the location marked on the map, it would take three hours to drive there.
Zhu Ming had already brought the car as requested by Shen Jiang. The four of them got into the car, and Zhu Ming drove to the landmark.
Wang Shuncai appeared very excited in the car. Ever since he obtained the treasure map, Wang Shuncai had gone from being despondent to being as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
As time went by, two and a half hours later, the car arrived at the foot of a mountain, where they needed to hike to a cave halfway up the mountain.
The four parked their car in a secluded spot and then began hiking up the mountain.
They were all well-trained, and climbing mountains was not difficult for them.
Shen Jiang was about to carry Xu Qingmo up the mountain when he didn't expect her to run faster than them.
Xu Qingmo stopped every now and then and said to the people behind her, "Hurry up, don't keep me waiting."
Wang Shuncai couldn't help but praise, "Xu Qingmo is so energetic."
Zhu Ming reminded us, "It's not just about having more energy. The three of us train regularly, and our physical fitness is far superior to that of the average person. Yet, only Commander Shen was able to catch up with Xu Qingmo and Wang Shuncai. We still need to intensify our training when we get back."
Wang Shuncai nodded. "I think you're absolutely right."
About fifty minutes later, Xu Qingmo saw a cave.
The sky was already slightly bright when Xu Qingmo leaned closer to the cave entrance and saw two bright green spheres shimmering in mid-air.
She immediately took out a luminous pearl and threw it into the cave. The light from the pearl illuminated the scene inside the cave clearly.
A fully grown tiger lay beside a row of boxes, enraged by the luminous pearl that had suddenly been thrown in, and roared as it opened its mouth.
In an instant, the tiger's roar amplified several times in the cave, and the roar made Shen Jiang and the others who rushed over feel a sharp pain in their eardrums.
They quickly covered their ears, only to see Xu Qingmo walk expressionlessly into the cave.
"Little tiger, you're being very naughty." Xu Qingmo's eyes turned slightly cold as she approached step by step.
The tiger, which had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up and stared intently at the little creature that had suddenly approached.
Shen Jiang quickly stopped her, "Mo Mo, don't go in, that's a tiger, it will eat people."
But he stopped her too late; Xu Qingmo had already entered the cave and was less than three meters away from the tiger.
"Dad, you take Uncle Wang and the others and find a place to hide. I can handle things here." Xu Qingmo continued walking inside without looking back.
Another tiger's roar rang out.
Shen Jiang rushed into the cave without regard for anything else; he was determined to save Xu Qingmo.
At that moment, he finally understood why the treasure map had been so easy to obtain; it turned out that this place was a tiger's den.
"MoMo, we don't need these things anymore. Be a good girl and come back with me." Shen Jiang shouted at Xu Qingmo's back.
Xu Qingmo was unwilling to turn back just like that. "Dad, I can get those things. You have to believe me."
"MoMo..."
At this moment, the tiger had already stood up and walked towards Xu Qingmo, and it looked as if it was about to open its mouth and swallow Xu Qingmo whole.
Xu Qingmo conjured a ball of fire in her hand and swung it at the tiger's ear.
The tiger's ears were on fire. It cried out in pain, shook its head violently, and even tried to extinguish the fire with its paws.
But none of them succeeded.
Shen Jiang strode forward, grabbed Xu Qingmo in his arms, and rushed out of the cave in a few quick steps.
Seeing that the father and daughter were unharmed, Zhu Ming and Wang Shuncai immediately followed them away.
Just as they took cover next to the cave, a figure left the cave like the wind and ran towards the riverbank not far away.
Xu Qingmo hurriedly jumped off Shen Jiang's arms and strode into the cave. She opened the boxes, which contained not only gunpowder but also guns and three boxes of gold.
Xu Qingmo immediately gestured to Shen Jiang, "Dad, these are all treasures, do you want me to take them back?"
Xu Qingmo shook the jade bracelet on her wrist. Before leaving, Wang Jing placed the jade bracelet on her body again.
Shen Jiang nodded. "Okay."
The next second, all the boxes in the cave were put into the space.
At that moment, a noisy commotion arose outside.
Wang Shuncai and Zhu Ming were restrained, with a sharp knife held to their necks.
The man who escaped yesterday led a group of people to the cave.
Wang Shuncai spat at the man, his tone full of contempt, "Wang Hai, you're a beast. You'd better pray you don't fall into my hands, otherwise, I definitely won't let you off easily."
Wang Hai wiped the spit off his face and slapped Wang Shuncai twice to vent his anger.
"Unfortunately, you're now in my hands. If you don't behave yourself, I can't guarantee you'll be spared," Wang Hai threatened deliberately.
Wang Shuncai was not afraid at all. "If you have the guts, kill me now. If you don't kill me, I will definitely make you regret it."
The man controlling Wang Shuncai immediately slashed his neck with the knife in his hand, and blood stained the cold blade.
Wang Hai said with disdain, "Don't be so impatient. Your son just died. I wanted you to live a little longer so you could experience the pain of losing a child. If you're so eager to die, then all my efforts will be wasted."
