636: That foreign general is dead.

The room here contained dozens of boxes, several large boxes of jewelry, and other weapons and equipment stacked in the corner.

There were also some other precious items, like cultural relics, which she didn't open due to the time constraint.

But they were all covered in Daxia script, and she guessed that all these things had been stolen from Daxia.

These items naturally had to be returned to Daxia and handed over to the state.

"Let's go."

When Lu Jing saw Niannian enter the secret room, he originally intended to follow, but Niannian closed the door, clearly intending to keep something secret from him.

So he immediately stopped, guarded the doorway, and listened to the situation outside.

"Everything has been handled."

"The secret room is full of gold, jewelry, cultural relics, and weapons and equipment. They were probably stolen from our country... It's a pity we can't take them."

Hearing Niannian's words, Lu Jing comforted her.

"Our mission this time is to save people; these things are not part of our current objective. There will be opportunities in the future..."

If they had more personnel, or if there were top-secret documents inside, he would definitely choose some to take away.

"I took some documents; we can look at them when we get back."

Xiao Niannian said with a smile.

"Okay."

Lu Jing took the backpack off Xiao Niannian's back. The two climbed out the back window and, a few minutes later, successfully left the General's villa, evaded the patrolling guards, and headed toward the mountains.

After walking for a short while, Lu Jing raised his hand, signaling them to stop.

"There are people hiding in the dark ahead. We need to find another route."

"Mhm."

Xiao Niannian naturally knew this.

They quietly avoided these people, and over the next few minutes of travel, they encountered several waves of searchers.

Soon, Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing returned to Uncle Dao's house.

Military Doctor Shen and the Team Members were waiting in the utility room in the courtyard.

"How did it go?"

"It was successful."

Just as Lu Jing finished speaking, they heard an explosion.

"Boom, boom, boom."

One explosion after another rang out.

They immediately returned to the room.

Right after returning to the room, Uncle Dao's voice rang out.

"Why such loud explosions? Where did something happen again?"

Aunt Dao spoke up.

"Why do you care about them? Maybe the Four Great Families are fighting again."

"I don't know if these incidents are a blessing or a curse..."

Comrade Dao and Comrade Yan were also woken up. Comrade Dao spoke.

"Such loud explosions outside—could it be that those people found the comrades we are looking for?"

Comrade Dao and Comrade Yan were extremely worried.

"We don't know where those four comrades are."

In the basement of a villa two kilometers away from here.

Four comrades were lying there. Two had leg injuries, one had a chest injury, and one had an arm injury.

The comrade with the chest injury looked extremely pale.

"Comrade Sheng, let me ask Patriarch Wan to invite a doctor back. If this continues, it will be troublesome..."

Comrade Sheng had previously been injured in the chest. They hired a doctor to bandage him, but that doctor's skill might have been poor, as Comrade Sheng's injury was now more serious than before.

"Only that General has good doctors now. If we go to hire one, we will definitely be discovered by those people."

"I believe the country won't give up on saving us. Maybe the people sent have already arrived but haven't found us yet..."

Comrade Little Sheng felt extremely sad listening to his father's words. His father was shot because he was trying to save him.

The bullet is still in his father's stomach.

"But now, the medicine Patriarch Wan has isn't enough, and those anti-inflammatory drugs can only be bought at the pharmacy controlled by that General..."

"All the wounded must be sent there; private purchase of medicine is prohibited..."

Comrade Wan looked at his friend, extremely worried.

If this continues, the situation will become very troublesome.

"Thanks to Comrade Wan. If you hadn't known Patriarch Wan, we wouldn't have escaped this disaster. If I die, don't be sad. Find a way to contact our comrades and take back all the books we brought... My son has also acquired some knowledge now; let him return to the country for me and serve the nation..."

Hearing Comrade Sheng's words, the eyes of the other people present turned red.

"Dad, I am sorry for letting you down. If it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't have been shot..."

Comrade Little Sheng was incredibly sad.

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. Our enemies are the USA and those other adversaries. The more they fear our return home, the more we must strengthen our resolve..."

"Dad, you will definitely get better, and we will definitely return home..."

Song Yue and Lu Jing took advantage of the chaos outside and went to another house.

Xiao Niannian looked at the Wan Family residence not far away and spoke.

"According to the information we obtained, among these Four Great Families, the head of the Wan Family was formerly a Soldier, and he is very loyal..."

"That's right."

Xiao Niannian analyzed the situation.

"Let's go to the Wan Family residence and see if we can find the head of the Wan Family. If we can cooperate... it will also benefit our search for the other four comrades..."

Hearing this, Lu Jing nodded.

"My wife, you are right. I actually had this idea too."

Among the Four Great Families, the head of the Wan Family is indeed the best.

"Wait a moment."

Xiao Niannian suddenly thought of something.

"Hmm?"

Lu Jing looked at Niannian.

"What's wrong?"

"Comrade Wan is from Xiang Province, and Patriarch Wan is also from Xiang Province. Their hometowns are only dozens of miles apart. Could they know each other, or perhaps be from the same clan..."

Xiao Niannian suddenly considered this possibility.

"That is possible! We can find out the truth when we ask Patriarch Wan."

"Good."

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing quietly slipped into the Wan Family residence.

The Wan Family residence was also in a bit of chaos at this time.

"Patriarch, this is bad news! We just received word that the Foreign General is dead..."

What?

That Foreign General is dead?

How did he die? He was fine during the day, arrogantly threatening them and demanding that they must send troops to search the mountains together.

Not only that, he also gave them a task: starting tomorrow, they must extensively search the town for outsiders, arresting and locking up anyone who arrived within the last three or four months.

Better to kill the wrong person than let a potential threat escape.

Naturally, he was unwilling in his heart. To him, these were his compatriots, family of the motherland. Even though his hands were now stained with blood, he was unwilling to commit such a vicious act.

He didn't want to die without the face to meet his ancestors.

This is great!

Patriarch Wan smiled, but realizing his smile was too bright, he quickly adopted a more serious expression.

"What happened?"

"Your subordinate just sent someone to inquire. There was a sudden explosion, and the villa is now on fire. We don't know the specifics yet."
