lose relationship, they speculated that they might be searching for a precious artifact.However, if even Lianbu and Wugeye who had spent half their lives with Sanyiye could guess, why were they able t...What is the purpose of excavating ancient tombs 。Ma Xiangdong's eyes lit up, his expression seemed a bit anxious, this was the most obvious emotional outburst he had shown since arriving. 。"Seeking Immortals " 。Jiang Yan intentionally whetted his appetite, one was to expect to be able to exchange conditions through this, although it was difficult, she did not want to give up trying; the other was to delay time, she predicted that once He Jianguo discovered her disappearance, he would take action. 。"Just tell me the truth, and I'll let you go at once." 。When Ma Xiangdong heard the word "immortal," his stubbornness was immediately apparent. Even if Mount Tai collapsed, it would not shake his determination. 。For someone as passionate about the truth as he was, once knowing the coveted secret was right before his eyes, his eagerness would only intensify. 。Besides, Ma Xiangdong has always been known for his cleanliness and persistence. 。"I don't know the specifics, but I speculate it might be searching for the tomb of a Taoist immortal in the Black Mountains. However, when I arrived, it was too late, and I only found a Qing dynasty prince's tomb. Inside were a few biographies. I hastily skimmed them, but they were snatched away by someone else. They recorded the story of the prince encountering an immortal, abandoning the worldly splendor, and following the Taoist priest into the mountains to cultivate. I didn't have time to read the rest, it probably contained information about cultivation techniques or alchemy." 。Jiang Yan noticed Zhang Qingfang's astonished expression and chuckled inwardly. Did this child really believe what she said In fact, everything she said was the truth. 。When Ma Dong inquired, he mentioned the mysterious woman who had reportedly had a violent altercation with her inside the tomb. Ma Dong snorted disdainfully and whispered a few words to his attendant following behind him. The man's departure caught Jiang Yan's unintentional attention. His low, magnetic voice left a deep impression. 。Jiang Yan was secretly shocked. The legendary boss had actually escaped the police's pursuit. He realized that Ma Dong had a powerful force behind him. If it wasn't for Ma Dong or the influence of the Ma family, Xiao Liu wouldn't have been able to get close to Lu Xiazi. Perhaps Xiao Liu himself was tasked with gathering information for Ma Dong. Besides, I would like to ask about Bai Ta. "I have a question, Mr. Ma Dong, can you answer it" 。Jiang Yan carefully weighed his words, speaking with a hint of probing. Seeing Ma Dong nod in agreement, he immediately brought up He Xiuyun's name. 。What I can reveal is that she is still alive and will continue to live. 。Perhaps due to his recognition of Jiang Yan's "honest cooperation," Ma Dong gave this true but slightly harsh answer with a smile, although the information was not as eloquent as silence. 。After a brief silence, Ma stared at Jiang Yan for a long time, then turned towards the next room. 。Jiang Yan followed his gaze and was shocked to discover a terrifying sight hidden there—a small viper's nest. Unlike the colorful horrors in the depths of the cave, here were intertwined countless white snakes! Zhang Qingfang had already been scared into stunned silence. She was amazed by Jiang Yan's composure, but also had doubts about his words. 。Although Jiang Yan's bravery once moved Zhang Qingfang's niece, that feeling has lessened somewhat now. But she still firmly believes that relying on Jiang Yan is their only hope of escaping this dangerous situation because Zhang Qingfang understands that. 。Jiang Yan came to the little girl's side, observing her through the glass and calculating escape strategies in his mind. He never liked to wait passively, but his current situation was difficult. Besides Zhang Qingfang, this burden, there was also Ma Dong and his men hot on their heels. 。

"Boom boom boom"

The sound of gunfire suddenly erupted outside, and Jiang Yan and Zhang Qingfang both jumped in surprise, quickly turning towards the door. 。After feeding the snake, Ma Dong was recording when he suddenly stood up, glanced this way, and ordered: "Take them onto the ship" 。You promised to let me go 。Jiang Yan addressed Ma Dong, her voice laced with disappointment. She lowered her head, concealing the flickering in her eyes, as the long-awaited opportunity finally arrived. 。He Jian Guo's arms were wrapped in bandages, his face cold and expressionless. The gun in his hand was pointed precisely at the enemy's vital points, making Liao Jun tremble with fear beside him, worrying whether there would be any survivors left after this. 。He was worried that the enemy would use the female captives in their hands as bargaining chips, which made them more cautious in battle. 。Who could have predicted that amidst their struggle against enemy spies and underground criminal organizations, a hidden force was quietly brewing beneath their very noses Had it not been for the White Tower incident, those people would have likely already held absolute power. 。

Originally, Officer Liao was scheduled to collaborate with the city police today. The delicate handling of the White Tower incident had allowed Boss Ma to escape. They had been secretly tracking him and managed to apprehend some small-time thugs, which yielded some clues about this criminal organization.

Xi Xiu's distress signal was not concealed by He Jianguo, but the information about the He family was inadvertently revealed by higher-ups. This actually had the opposite effect of protecting He Jianguo's identity. 。Although this high-ranking official was not closely connected to the He family, they were in the same circle. Officer Liao had long suspected He Jianguo's identity, and the confirmation from the high-ranking official only further obscured his true nature. 。This cooperation, He Jianguo's task is to rescue his aunt, He Xiuyun and Xi Xiu Fen, while Officer Liao wants to apprehend the material gatherer hiding in the shadows. 。Both of them had guessed the powerful force behind the scenes, but they didn't expect that the other party had already set a trap, intending to capture them all. 。Ma Dong had long since noticed Xi Xiu Fen's plea for help. He had set an ambush in his office. 。When He Jian Guo went to look for clues, he almost lost his life. This also gave He Jian Guo a chance to fight back. He followed the trail and pursued the attackers, unexpectedly encountering the police. If it hadn't been for Officer Liao and the high-ranking official present, he might have been subdued or killed. 。After both sides reached a common goal, they were preparing to take full action. At this time, He Jianguo's confidant who stayed by Jiang Yan's side arrived with news of serious injuries, informing them that the two women had been captured. 。He Jian Guo was furious, and if it hadn't been for Officer Liao's intervention, he would have rushed out immediately to duel Ma Dong. 。Without concrete evidence, rash action would only startle the snake, causing the forces behind it to retreat further and become even harder to eliminate. 。Fortunately, He Jian Guo left behind two loyal subordinates. One was wounded and sent a message, while the other followed closely behind. 。Following the clues to the vicinity, they happened to hear three gunshots coming from afar. 。Meanwhile, Jiang Yan and Zhang Qingfang fell into a coma inside the room. Perhaps out of caution or as part of their procedure, the two men outside the door quickly sealed the air vents and activated the ceiling ventilation system after Ma Dong left. Smoke filled the air and instantly enveloped the entire space. 。Jiang Yan was completely unprepared for this. Without hesitation, he pinned Zhang Qingfang to the ground, facing away from the door. He quickly pulled out a bag of activated charcoal air purifier and covered his mouth and nose. 。For Chang Ching-fang, such a situation might be more advantageous, because she has already lost consciousness. 。Then the two men began moving the tubs full of white snakes. Jiang Yan's eyes widened as he saw that the snakes were confined within cages made of wire mesh, and these cages were sunk into pits in the ground, easily portable with simple operation. 。Jiang Yan had thought her scheme would work, that one of the two targets would be distracted by the creature in the cage, and the knife she held tightly would become a symbol of victory. 。However, her plan hadn't gone perfectly. The two men tacitly moved the white snake's cage to the doorway, and then a figure silently appeared, deftly taking the cage. This surprised Jiang Yan, so she quickly pretended to be unconscious, grateful for her earlier caution. 。

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!as if he were engaged in a profound discussion. 。If this were a usual time, He Jian Guo might have advocated for transparency, but the current turbulent social environment has made him realize that s...
