Next, Lin Ying and everyone else stayed in the secret passage for another three days, and the telegraph machine, which had been silent all along, finally sent back a message.
Everyone was happy because it meant they could go out.
After discussion, Lin Ying and Zhao Qinghuai decided to go out and make contact with the people, and then lead their men into the area. Gu Lang's men and Zhao Qinghuai's men stayed behind to guard the area.
The moment they saw Lin Ying, all four children rushed over. Even Haoyu, who was usually very reserved, burst into tears.
Lin Ying looked at the little ones, her eyes also red.
Zhao Qinghuai felt a mix of emotions as he looked at them. He wanted to hug them, but the things the children said almost made him vomit blood.
"Dad, you're so useless."
"You still need your mother to save you."
"You'd better be more careful in the future."
"Dad's stupid!"
Seeing Zhao Qinghuai's frustrated expression, Lin Ying couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Qinghuai knew about the three children's change of address, so he wasn't surprised when he heard them call him "Dad," and felt quite happy.
As for what they said, Zhao Qinghuai said helplessly, "Yes, yes, Dad is too stupid. Then you can help Dad take care of Mom, and Dad will go over there to report to his work, okay?"
As if entrusted with an important task, the four children nodded vigorously: "No problem!"
Zhao Qinghuai smiled and went to coordinate work with his superiors. Not long after, Zhao Qinghuai returned with a few people.
Once they were together, Zhao Qinghuai introduced Lin Ying to him, saying, "Wife, let me introduce you. This is Commander Wu, the commander of the Northwest Military Region."
Lin Ying quickly greeted him, "Hello, Commander Wu."
Wu Jie chuckled and said, "So you're Comrade Lin Ying. I've heard about you from that old rascal Shan Yubang before. Thank you for coming all the way from the far northeast. I'll need your help to show me the way."
Lin Ying nodded: "Okay, no problem. But, is it convenient for me to bring the children? Don't worry, the children will ride on the tiger, it won't delay our trip."
Wu Jie knew that Lin Ying had two tigers, and he also knew that Lin Ying would always worry about being separated from her children for so long.
"As long as Comrade Lin Ying confirms that there is no danger along the way, then there is no problem."
Lin Ying nodded: "Please wait a moment, I'll make arrangements for the children, and we can leave at any time."
Wu Jie nodded: "Alright, you make the arrangements, and just have Zhao Qinghuai come find me."
Logically, this matter shouldn't have required Ujah's personal involvement. However, the presence of corrupt elements within the military is a serious matter. Furthermore, the individuals involved in the map are undoubtedly high-ranking officials, necessitating his personal investigation and suppression.
Putting everything else aside, Zhao Qinghuai, being a member of the Northeast Army, although they had a relationship, couldn't let this incident bring shame upon the Northeast. Therefore, he had to resolve this matter quickly.
Lin Ying and Zhao Qinghuai packed up the tent together, put everything in the car, and after making sure the children had enough clothes, they packed food and drinks in their backpacks. After locking the car, everything was ready.
Actually, Lin Ying would have preferred to tell them the method directly, so it wouldn't be so complicated. However, Wu Jie said that since they weren't sure if there were still any parasites left, this was the safest approach. Of course, another important reason was that the method was far more complex than Lin Ying had described.
Lin Ying understands pharmacology and the Five Elements, so once she enters a place, she can quickly identify her location and know what to do next. Others, however, have no such ability.
Instead of wasting time learning these things, it would be better to rescue the people inside and get the goods out as well.
Led by Lin Ying, over a hundred people entered the dense forest with transport carts.
This is a huge trap, which is not dangerous in itself. Moreover, the fact that people can survive in it for four or five years means that there is enough food inside.
Following Lin Ying, everyone arrived at the secret room without any problems.
Upon seeing that it was Lin Ying and the others, Gu Lang quickly came out of the secret room.
"How are you? Are you in danger?"
Gu Lang replied with a smile, "Don't worry, everything went smoothly. If it were really that easy to get in here, we wouldn't have been wandering around outside for four or five years without coming here."
As he spoke, Gu Lang saw the child riding on the tiger's back, and his smile froze for a moment: "Xiao Yuan?"
It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but when he saw his son looking at him like a stranger, Gu Lang could not control his eyes from becoming sore.
Lin Ying smiled and picked Haoyu up, saying, "I forgot to tell Haoyu that we came here not only to save your father, but also to save Haoyu's father. Haoyu's father is still alive."
As she spoke, Lin Ying patted Haoyu's head, encouraging him to go over.
Haoyu looked at the man in front of him, who was both familiar and unfamiliar. He hesitated and walked forward until Gu Lang picked him up like he had when he was a child, at which point Haoyu's memories returned.
"Wow, Daddy! I miss you so much."
Haoyu cried his heart out, as if at this moment, something suppressed deep within him was finally released.
Even Gu Lang, a grown man, was crying sobbing, and Lin Ying's eyes also reddened.
Because she knew that at this moment, Haoyu had finally unleashed the hatred in his heart. He was no longer burdened with hatred that someone his age should not have to bear.
While Gu Lang reunited with his son, Zhao Qinghuai arranged for people to take all the gold away.
Having confirmed that the gold had been safely delivered and the children were handed over to Gu Lang, Lin Ying still needed to take Zhao Qinghuai to do other things.
