"Thank goodness, I'm still alive!"
Xu Qingqing looked back at Qulin Mountain, her heart filled with longing for the place. The challenge and excitement were what she liked most. She was even more interested in the legend that Director Li had told her. But why did the person who told her this make her take this mountain path?
Perhaps there's some kind of conspiracy?
Xu Qingqing immediately started speculating about conspiracies. Director Li calmed himself down, sat back in the passenger seat, and told Xu Qingqing to leave immediately. If she stayed any longer, who knew what terrible things might happen?
Situ Kong was skeptical of the legend. With eighteen mountains connected together, it was easy for people to lose their way and get lost. Once trapped inside, there was no way to call for help, and they could only wait to die.
As for the legend, perhaps there is a tomb involved, since people in ancient times liked to bury themselves in the mountains.
Xu Qingqing finally couldn't persuade the three of them, and reluctantly drove in another direction.
On the edge of Qulin Mountain, a group of more than a dozen people carried several boxes out. After cautiously observing the surroundings, the leader led the boxes to an abandoned house on the edge. There were more than a dozen abandoned houses here, all of which had been abandoned long ago when their owners moved to other places.
This has made things convenient for certain people with ulterior motives.
After Xu Qingqing turned around and walked away, a large truck drove past in that direction, just missing Xu Qingqing and her group.
Xu Qingqing looked at the man in the truck's driver's seat. He had tattoos on his exposed arm, a cigarette between his fingers, and spat a glob of phlegm that landed right on the windshield in front of her. It was yellow and sticky, making her feel nauseous.
Situ Xing opened the window and roared angrily at the truck behind him, "Hey! Don't you have any sense of public decency? Spitting everywhere!"
Situ Kong pursed her lips, grabbed his shoulders, and pulled him back with some force to stop Situ Xing's reckless behavior. Her eyes warned, "Have you forgotten what I said? If there's a next time, I'll have Mom and Dad teach you a lesson."
"Brother, I was wrong. I'll never do it again."
Situ Xing bowed his head and admitted his mistake, then smiled ingratiatingly at his brother, explaining that he had simply been angry and had forgotten his brother's previous warning.
Xu Qingqing stopped the car, suppressed her anger, cleaned the car windows, and sat back in the driver's seat.
When the car was started again, Director Li hunched his shoulders, not daring to look in Xu Qingqing's direction. Occasionally, he couldn't help but sneak a glance. Seeing her expressionless face, he initially thought nothing was wrong, but when he saw her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, the veins on them revealing Xu Qingqing's inner anger.
Factory Director Li comforted Xu Qingqing, saying, "Getting angry is bad for your health. Let's not bother with people like that."
Xu Qingqing didn't say anything. After remembering something, she stepped on the brake. Situ Kong pulled Situ Xing's body forward in time. Fortunately, Xu Qingqing wasn't driving fast, so the two Situ brothers and Director Li were not injured.
Then, the three of them saw Xu Qingqing get out of the car and walk towards the back.
Xu Qingqing walked to the back of the truck and observed the tire tracks on the road. Based on the size of the truck tires and the distance between them, she took out a handful of nails and stuck them into the road to cover them up. Then she backed away to test and make sure no one would notice.
Absolutely perfect!
There's no one around here. With a flat tire, you'll have to walk five kilometers to find someone. At this hour, it probably won't be finished until dark, unless the other car has a spare tire. I wonder if they only have one or two spare tires.
only……
Looking at the deep tire tracks on the ground, Xu Qingqing looked across at the two shallower tracks on the other side. It was clear that the other party was transporting something from the direction of Qulin Mountain. The item was heavy, as could be seen after the rain. The two tracks were different.
Situ Kong waited for Xu Qingqing for a long time but she didn't come, so he got out of the car and walked to her side. He found her looking at the tire tracks on the road and asked in confusion, "Is Comrade Xu suspicious of something?"
"Hmm, look at the tire tracks on both sides, one is darker than the other,"
Xu Qingqing pointed to the tire tracks on both sides. Situ Kong observed them one by one, and after a moment's thought, he spoke again: "You mean, what's their purpose in coming here? And it seems like they're transporting something. And what is that thing...?"
Xu Qingqing nodded: "That legend! Perhaps what Director Li said is true, and there really is an emperor's tomb inside."
Qulin Mountain is very steep, and it's impossible for the other party to choose this dangerous mountain road to transport goods, especially since they are driving a truck. There is a safe road available, so why choose to come here and travel back and forth so frequently? The other party's purpose in demanding money is not small.
Situ Kong glanced at Qulin Mountain in the distance. If it was true, the national treasure must not fall into the hands of the other party.
After discussing it, the two decided to quickly report the incident to the police and let them handle the rest.
On the way, Xu Qingqing and Situ Xing took turns driving. Situ Kong couldn't drive because of his arm injury, and Director Li was even less likely to drive. After stopping and starting, they were finally not far from the capital and were about to breathe a sigh of relief when a loud bang was heard behind them.
Several cars suddenly appeared behind them, and the people inside leaned out and threw bombs at them.
Xu Qingqing's face darkened, and she jerked the steering wheel to avoid the bomb coming towards them. Director Li was stunned by this desperate situation, but then calmed down and chuckled, "A bunch of little brats, daring to show off their skills in front of Guan Yu."
He took the pistol from Situ Kong, opened the window, and fired a few shots behind him.
"Sit down, everyone!"
The three instantly understood Xu Qingqing's meaning, immediately sat up straight, and Xu Qingqing stepped on the gas and sped off. She glanced at the enemy behind her through the rearview mirror. Soon, the enemy ran out of bombs and started firing at the trunk of the car where Xu Qingqing was.
Seeing that the other side had no bombs, Xu Qingqing slowly curled up her lips: "Situ Kong, get ready, now it's our turn to bomb them. Make sure you aim accurately."
Situ Kong was taken aback, then suddenly smiled. He had been wondering why he was being stopped from using the bomb, but now he realized that was what he was waiting for. What a brilliant idea.
Afterwards, Lin Shen's smile faded, and his expression quickly turned grim. So many bombs and not a single one hit. He managed to dodge them safely. With so many bombs, Situ Kong was indeed a difficult guy to deal with.
"Brother Lin, we've used up all the bombs. What's our next move?"
"Get the others to chase after them and intercept their car, at all costs!"
Soon, Xu Qingqing realized the other party's intention. A cold smile appeared on her lips. She nodded slightly to Situ Kong through the rearview mirror. Just as the other party was about to catch up, she suddenly drove backward. Taking advantage of the moment when the two cars were side by side, Situ Kong threw the bomb into the other party's car.
Situ Kong took in the astonishment in the other person's eyes.
