He Yuhan pointed to one of the people, indicating that this person belonged to her. Han Yi nodded first, and then the two of them covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs.
The two of them barely struggled before falling into a deep sleep, probably unwakeable even by thunder or earthquakes.
Seeing the two people lying unconscious on the ground, He Yuhan kicked them once, but they still didn't react. It seemed they had succeeded.
He Yuhan put away her handkerchief and said, "Brother Han, the reason I acted ahead of schedule is because the things here are too important. You know, these boxes are full of gold, large gold bricks and bars. I heard there are twenty tons of gold here, which is an enormous amount of resources. In addition to these, there are also some weapons, ammunition, and living supplies."
These things must not be taken back to the country by these people. This gold belongs to our country and cannot be stolen by these robbers. These things should be handed over to the state.
Han Yixian was also shocked upon hearing this. There was so much gold here; it was simply unbelievable. No wonder so many people were searching for this secret warehouse.
He had heard about this secret warehouse a long time ago. It was a highly confidential matter, and several departments were investigating it, but they had never found any leads. He thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true.
Han Yixian calmed his excitement and said, "Yuhan, you've done a great job again. Let's check these things first to make sure they're correct, so we have a clear idea of what's going on."
Han Yixian and He Yuhan inspected the entire warehouse and were utterly astonished by the supplies, ammunition, and gold inside.
Han Yixian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the warehouse full of things, saying, "Yuhan, it's fortunate that you noticed the details of their conversation and decided to stay and investigate, otherwise we might not have known that there was such a secret warehouse, and so many supplies and gold."
If they manage to take these things away, our country will suffer a huge loss.
He Yuhan looked around at the warehouse full of things and said, "Brother Han, let's find an exit now. You hurry back and report to the higher-ups to seal this place off, arrest all these people, and dig out all their hidden members."
Han Yi nodded and said, "Then let's find an exit now."
Because He Yuhan had seen which gate Xi Chuan led his men through, they didn't need to bother with the first gate.
The two of them easily passed through the first door, and then there was a tunnel. Fortunately, the tunnel was not long, only a few hundred meters long. At the end of the tunnel, there were sturdy steps made of bricks and stones extending upwards.
There's a cleverly designed mechanism on the wall at the end of the steps.
For safety's sake, Han Yi first told He Yuhan to stay downstairs while he went up to check. He climbed the steps and vigorously moved the mechanism, and a large stone slab above the steps slowly opened.
Han Yi first pulled out his pistol and held it in his hand, telling He Yuhan to wait where she was while he cautiously poked his head out of the exit.
There was no activity outside the exit, only the howling northwest wind raging relentlessly.
It was already past ten o'clock at night. Although it was night, the round moon hung in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the earth and allowing Han Yi to get a general idea of the situation outside.
Next to him was a stone tortoise, about half a person's height, lying on the ground. This stone tortoise was directly above the stone slab blocking the tunnel exit and was connected to the stone slab.
When the stone slab sealed the exit, the stone tortoise was positioned directly above it, making the entrance to this secret warehouse completely undetectable. Who would bother moving such a large and heavy stone tortoise?
In the dim light, Han Yi could vaguely see the surrounding buildings, which did indeed resemble those of an imperial mausoleum. It seemed that what Yu Han had heard before was true; this secret warehouse was indeed built near the imperial mausoleum.
Just as he was about to turn around and call He Yuhan up, a gun was pointed at his head from behind the stone turtle.
Before Han Yi could think further, he heard the man with the gun pointed at him say, "I didn't expect Mr. Han to be so resourceful, actually finding his way here. Luckily, I came back in time to stay and keep watch. I didn't expect to catch such a big fish. Put your hands up."
Upon hearing this, Han Yixian did not panic but slowly raised his hands, and the pistol in his hand was immediately snatched away.
He Yuhan could already hear people talking outside; it was Xi Chuan's voice. She knew they had been discovered.
Without a word, she flashed into the space, preparing her pistol and tranquilizer gun. It seemed she was ready for battle at any moment.
Nishikawa said, "Come on up here and behave yourself, or I'll blow your head off."
Han Yixian cooperated and slowly walked out of the cave.
Xi Chuan handed the pistol he had snatched from Han Yixian to the man next to him and said, "Go down and check on He Yuhan. Grab her and tie her up. Also, check on Xinliang and the others to see if they're still alive. Be very careful."
The man agreed and entered the tunnel entrance. After checking around, he realized He Yuhan wasn't there and started walking further in. As he turned to go inside, He Yuhan silently appeared behind him, and a tranquilizer dart was injected into his neck.
The man realized he had been attacked from behind and quickly turned around to check, but there was nothing there. He broke out in a cold sweat; was the place haunted?
Then my brain started to go haywire, I lost all feeling and collapsed to the ground without a sound.
He Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the man hadn't made a sound. She went over and searched the man, finding that one of the pistols belonged to Han Yixian.
After quickly tying the person up, she quietly approached the entrance with Han Yixian's pistol in her hand.
Then Xi Chuan's voice came from outside, "Han Yixian, how did you find this place?"
Han Yixian replied irrelevantly, "I didn't expect I to be so famous that even you, sir, know me."
Nishikawa sneered and said, "Of course, it's hard not to know you in Kyoto. But I've known you for a long time. I know everyone in your Han family very well. You may not know this, but your Han family sends us intelligence every month."
"I've wanted to catch you for a long time, but you're too cautious and difficult to deal with. I never expected you to walk right into my trap for He Yuhan's sake. It's like heaven is helping me."
Han Yixian frowned and asked, "I don't think I have any grudge against you, so why are you arresting me?"
Xi Chuan said, "Of course we have our own purposes. If Mr. Han doesn't want to suffer later, then tell us the truth."
Han Yi pressed further, "What do you want to know? Ask me now, and maybe I'll tell you. After all, my fiancée is still in your hands."
