The documents found in the office confirmed their suspicions. Moreover, the list of spies they discovered was of utmost importance and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Huo Xicheng locked all the warehouses again and said, "This matter must be reported to the higher-ups immediately, and it must be kept strictly confidential."
He Zhendong also said seriously, "Indeed, everything here is extremely important. Fortunately, we discovered these weapons. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable if they had fallen into enemy hands."
Huo Xicheng turned to Du Yuhan and said, "Yuhan shouldn't get involved in this, and we shouldn't let anyone know that Yuhan is involved, otherwise it might cause her trouble. Of course, Yuhan won't get any credit for discovering this place either."
Du Yuhan quickly waved her hand and said, "I don't want any credit. You and my second brother found this place. It has nothing to do with me. Besides, I hate trouble the most. You guys handle it. Don't involve me."
He Zhendong frowned after hearing Huo Xicheng's words and said, "Xicheng, you're right. Yuhan really shouldn't be involved, and we can't let others know that Yuhan was here."
He Zhendong then turned to Du Yuhan and said, "Little sister, you should leave here now and go home as soon as possible. Don't mention this to anyone in the future, just pretend you know nothing."
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "I understand, Second Brother. I'll leave this to you two. Just don't let me get away with it."
Huo Xicheng said, "Here's what we'll do. I'll stay here and keep watch. Zhendong, you go back and report directly to the chief. Try to keep it a secret as much as possible; the fewer people who know, the better. Yuhan will come down the mountain with you; that way it'll be safer. After you get down the mountain, separate and don't let anyone see you together."
He Zhendong understood Huo Xicheng's concerns and nodded, saying, "I understand. Be careful here. I'll be back soon."
Huo Xicheng, still worried, instructed Du Yuhan, "Yuhan, go home as soon as possible. Don't mention this to anyone, and don't tell anyone that you've been in these mountains. Your second brother and I will visit you when we have time."
He Zhendong then led Du Yuhan quickly out of the mountain as they had agreed.
Once they reached the outskirts of the mountains, Du Yuhan said, "Second Brother, it's safe here now. Let's part ways here. I'll go into town now to buy a train ticket back to Kyoto and go home."
He Zhendong patted his sister's head and said, "Then be careful, don't talk to strangers, and be sure to pay attention to safety on the road. Be sure to write to me when you get back."
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "Second brother, don't worry. I'll have Dad call you when I get home."
After parting with reluctance, the brother and sister each went on to their own destinations.
After leaving the mountains, Du Yuhan went directly to City C and bought a train ticket to Kyoto. Before boarding, Du Yuhan called home, and He Chenglin said he would pick her up.
After a long and tiring journey, the train arrived at Kyoto Station at around 10 a.m. on the third day.
As soon as she exited the station, she met her father, He Chenglin, who had come to pick her up.
The father and daughter got into the car without saying anything. There was a driver in the car, but neither of them said anything; they simply rode home.
After arriving home, He Chenglin dismissed the driver before entering the house with his daughter.
Yu Huiru had known her daughter was coming for a long time and had been looking forward to it since the day before yesterday. She had also prepared a lot of delicious food.
As soon as her daughter entered the house, Yu Huiru took Du Yuhan's hand and, noticing her daughter's dark complexion, said, "You must be exhausted from the journey. Your second brother called us and said that everything has been arranged for your adoptive parents and their family."
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "My parents were very happy when they arrived there. The house is very nice, much better than the conditions back home. It's all thanks to Uncle Liang's help."
He Chenglin said, "Your adoptive parents' household registration has been settled. I found someone to register it directly in Laohewan Village. There are no traces left in their hometown. Even if people from the Du family's old house want to find out where your adoptive parents' family went in the future, they won't be able to find out."
Du Yuhan said happily, "That's great! They should never be able to find us. Now I can rest assured. As long as my adoptive parents' family isn't being exploited by the Du family's old house, their lives will only get better and better."
He Chenglin said, "With your Uncle Liang looking after you, and your second brother nearby, you can also contact him if anything happens. You can rest assured about your adoptive parents and their family."
Du Yuhan, not seeing her nephew, asked, "Where's Xiao Haobo?"
Yu Huiru smiled and said, "He's sleeping right now. He's still young, so he needs to sleep a lot. He's gotten used to being with me now. Although he drinks formula, I think he's better off than when he was breastfed. He hasn't gotten sick, and he's even gained weight."
Du Yuhan was delighted to hear this. She pulled her bag over and took out the infant formula she had prepared for her nephew, saying, "I bought some formula for Haobo. Since he can't breastfeed anymore, he needs to have milk. When he's six or seven months old, we'll introduce complementary foods like rice cereal and fish."
Yu Huiru saw the several bags of milk powder her daughter had taken out and said, "This milk powder is very expensive and hard to buy; it costs a lot of money. You can't buy it without connections these days. Don't worry about the child; we're here for you. Just take care of yourself."
Du Yuhan replied, "I happen to know a friend who has connections in this area, so I asked him to help me buy some. Haobo will be drinking this formula until he's two or three years old. After one year old, his diet will mainly consist of solid food, with milk as a supplement."
Although this stuff is hard to get, we should still let the child drink some to strengthen their nutrition. We adults can manage whatever we want, but we shouldn't deprive the child of food and affect their development.
Yu Huiru was about to say something when He Chenglin stopped her.
He said, "Please accept this from your daughter. Supply is tight right now, and milk powder is really hard to find; the supply is simply not enough for the child. If you want more, you'll have to ask around, and even then, you might not be able to get any. I'll give the money back to Yuhan later."
Afraid that her daughter wouldn't accept it, Yu Huiru immediately took out three hundred yuan and stuffed it into Du Yuhan's hand.
Du Yuhan waved her hand and declined, saying, "No need to give me money, I still have money on me."
He Chenglin said, "What you have is yours. You shouldn't have to spend money on Haobo's milk powder. It's good to have some extra money on hand so you can have an emergency in case of anything. Here, take it."
Yu Huiru forcefully stuffed money into Du Yuhan's pocket. Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Du Yuhan said, "I'll take the money. From now on, you don't need to ask others to buy Haobo's formula. I'll find someone to buy it for you. This is formula specially made for children, and it's more suitable for Haobo than formula for adults."
He Chenglin didn't mince words with his daughter, asking, "You're not in a difficult position, are you?"
Du Yuhan said, "It's not difficult at all; it should be more convenient for me to buy it than for you."
He Chenglin nodded and said, "Okay, then you'll be in charge of Haobo's formula from now on. When you leave, have your mom give you some extra money."
