Chapter 618: Insight into the conspiracy!

After finishing dinner in the cave, Jia Dongming looked at the time on his watch in the light from the fire. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening. He wondered whether he should take people out to investigate the situation while it was still dark.
After this thought came to his mind, Jia Dongming immediately came to Yang Kaihua's side and whispered to him, "Deputy Captain Yang! I want to take advantage of the darkness to explore the camps of the Li family and Zheng Ming."

"Director Jia! It's pitch black outside, and there are wild beasts roaming around. Plus, we're not familiar with the terrain here. I'm worried that you'll be in danger if you go out alone, so I think it's better to forget it!" When Yang Kaihua learned of Jia Dongming's idea, an incredible expression appeared on his face. Thinking of what the guide had introduced to him today, Yang Kaihua persuaded Jia Dongming to give up this idea without even thinking about it.

The reason why Jia Dongming dared to go out for reconnaissance was mainly because he had the Eagle Eye skill. Even if it was dark outside, it would not affect his trip. Facing Yang Kaihua's persuasion, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Yang Kaihua: "Deputy Captain Yang! Before I changed my job, I was a scout. When I was fighting the Japanese, the bald heads, and the Eagles, I often performed reconnaissance missions at night. This may be dangerous for others, but for me, it is nothing at all."

"Although we have followed the footprints left by Zheng Ming and the Li family and have been tracking here under the guidance of our guide, we still know nothing about the situation ahead. In order to successfully complete the task assigned to us by our superiors, I think it is necessary for us to scout the place where the Li family and Zheng Ming camped before dark."

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Yang Kaihua felt that what Jia Dongming said did make sense. After thinking for a moment, he said to Jia Dongming with a serious face, "Director Jia! It's pitch dark outside. I'm a little worried about you going out for reconnaissance alone. I think you should arrange someone to go with you."

The reason why Jia Dongming dared to go out for reconnaissance alone was mainly because he had the Eagle Eye skill, which could not be affected by darkness. When he heard Yang Kaihua's suggestion, he immediately refused: "Deputy Captain Yang! The environment in this mountain is very complicated. Other comrades have not received professional training in this area. If they go out with me to perform reconnaissance missions, not only will they not play a supporting role, but they will also hinder me. So I think it's better to forget it."

Although Yang Kaihua had very few contacts with Jia Dongming, he had heard about Jia Dongming's deeds in the army from his old leader. Facing Jia Dongming's refusal, Yang Kaihua pondered for a moment and solemnly told Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! The environment in this mountain is very complicated. You must be very careful when you go out for reconnaissance."

When Jia Dongming heard Yang Kaihua's reminder, he first gave the other party a reassuring expression, then simply packed up and disappeared into the night under Yang Kaihua's gaze.

After Jia Dongming left the cave, he immediately activated his Eagle Eye skill and headed towards the deep mountains along the footprints left on the mountain road.

Jia Dongming had been gone for about twenty minutes when he faintly heard a conversation.

"Brother! If you hadn't had the foresight to let us dig the tunnel in advance, we would have been surrounded by the police yesterday." The seventh son of the Li family thought of what happened yesterday and complimented the eldest son of the Li family with admiration. The second son of the Li family heard the words of the seventh son of the Li family, thought of what happened yesterday, and reminded the eldest son of the Li family with a serious expression: "Brother! Since the police can find where we are staying, they should also know the whereabouts of Zheng Ming. I suspect that the police are probably following us, and they plan to catch us in one fell swoop after we open the treasure of King Chuang."

When the eldest brother of the Li family heard the reminder from the second brother of the Li family, he thought of the group of police officers from Sijiu City, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He said, "Second brother! I believe you should be very clear about the situation in the treasure of King Chuang. It would be fine if the group of police officers from Sijiu City did not follow us, but if they do, they will never be able to walk out of the cave of King Chuang's treasure alive."

The eldest brother of the Li family paused for a moment and asked the third brother, "Third brother! Are you ready for everything I asked you to prepare?"

The third son of the Li family, who was drinking and eating game, heard the eldest son of the Li family's question, pointed to the wooden box beside him, and replied to the eldest son of the Li family, "Brother! Put all the things you asked me to prepare in that wooden box. With the amount I prepared, let alone a dozen police officers, even if it's a company of police officers, I will make them never come back."

When the eldest brother of the Li family heard the third brother's answer, he thought of the plan he had prepared in advance, and said to the second brother of the Li family with a fierce expression: "Second brother! Do you still remember the Naihe Bridge in the treasure of King Chuang? After crossing the Naihe Bridge is the Stone Pillar Forest. When the time comes, we just need to destroy the Naihe Bridge and trap all the police in the Stone Pillar Forest. These police from the Forty-Nine City will never be able to leave the Stone Pillar Forest alive in this life."

The second son of the Li family had been inside the treasure of King Chuang with the eldest son of the Li family. He was naturally well aware of the situation outside the treasure of King Chuang. When he heard the eldest son of the Li family's instructions, he thought of Zheng Ming and his gang who were exploring the way ahead, and reminded the eldest son of the Li family: "Brother! If we destroy the Naihe Bridge, it will definitely cause a lot of commotion in the treasure of King Chuang. By then, Zheng Ming, who is in charge of exploring the way ahead, will discover our whereabouts. I think the best way is to wait until Zheng Ming has broken all the mechanisms in the treasure house. It won't be too late for us to take action then."

When the eldest brother of the Li family heard the suggestion of the second brother of the Li family, he thought about the record of King Chuang's treasure house in their Li family tree. After pondering for a moment, he showed an expression of indifference on his face and replied: "Second brother! You are right. If Zheng Ming finds out about our existence, with this guy's shrewdness, he will definitely find out that he has been used by us."

"But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. With Zheng Ming's greed, even if he knows we are using him, he has no choice but to go ahead. Besides, Zheng Ming's wife and children are in our hands. If he gives up, we can use his wife and children to threaten him."

Jia Dongming, who was hiding in the dark, could hear the conversation of the Li family clearly. At the same time, he was glad in his heart that he had ignored the danger in the mountains at night and ran out to look for the whereabouts of the Li family and Zheng Ming. As a result, he unexpectedly saw through the Li family's conspiracy against them.
