Chapter 761 Another Helper
Jin Wanliang entered the house and beckoned He Yongshun to follow him.
As I walked out, I silently reminded him:
"Xiao He, if I give you a signal, kill Lu Yao. I don't really trust him! You need to keep a close eye on him too."
He Yongshun quickly nodded in agreement.
Jin Wanliang was still worried and added:
"You've killed many people; you're a bandit. Remember that. Your crimes cannot be offset even by acts of merit, understand?"
He Yongshun nodded again.
Jin Wanliang no longer trusts anyone.
However, they were outnumbered and outmatched, and they couldn't succeed without these two people.
They called He Yongshun, and the three of them drove out together.
He Yongshun sat in the front seat, and Jin Wanliang sat in the back.
This old bandit was very wary and would never entrust his back to anyone.
His hands were always in his pants pockets.
He gripped the handle of the pistol.
On the way, no one spoke, especially He Yongshun, who sat quietly in the passenger seat.
Militiamen carrying guns and on duty occasionally pass by on the street.
Police officers are also stationed at key intersections.
Although it has been confirmed that Jin Wanliang has escaped, there are still many cases recently, and the tension has not completely subsided.
Fortunately, no one checked Lu Yao's car, and he was able to drive out of the city.
Three people, three different feelings.
Lu Yao knew the old bandit was looking for treasure and wanted to use him, so he wouldn't launch a sneak attack.
It wouldn't be easy for him to launch a sneak attack on Jin Wanliang.
Jin Wanliang was the most formidable opponent he had ever encountered.
His experience in killing was even greater than Lin Dong's.
If you act rashly and fail to succeed, he will definitely retaliate fiercely.
Therefore, if we don't make a move, we won't do it at all; but if we do, we must kill him.
When they arrived at Shuiling Town, Lu Yao deliberately took the lead and headed straight for the militia company.
Jin Wanliang asked, "What?"
"I'll go to the militia company to get a gun. The militia company has five or six semi-automatic rifles, which are quite lethal."
Jin Wanliang placed his hand on Lu Yao's shoulder:
"No need. Our first stop is Jiapigou. We just need guns in your village. When we go to Zhao's house, we should try not to use any guns, as they'll be too noisy. We'll only bring them for self-defense. Also, go back to your village and bring back some dry rations. If we get the map, we'll head into the mountains immediately."
Lu Yao had no choice but to drive back and head towards the village again.
When they reached the village entrance, Jin Wanliang called out to Lu Yao again:
"Leave the car here, you two walk in. I'm not going in with you."
Lu Yao turned to look at him:
"Grandpa, you still don't believe me?"
Jin Wanliang smiled and shook his head:
"Better safe than sorry. You all should be careful too. Don't take too much, just take two guns."
"All right."
Lu Yao led He Yongshun out of the car.
Jin Wanliang gave He Yongshun a wink.
The implication was that he should keep a close eye on Lu Yao.
He Yongshun nodded.
They followed Lu Yao into the village.
Jin Wanliang drove the car to the tree-lined area and parked it to wait for them.
He was somewhat uneasy and kept looking around to the west.
Suddenly, he saw a figure flash in the woods over there.
Jin Wanliang's lips twitched involuntarily:
"It's him?"
He got into the driver's seat, slammed on the gas, and sped off.
The man, who had been hiding behind a tree and spying, turned and ran when he saw the jeep coming toward him.
Jin Wanliang's car reached the edge of the woods but couldn't go any further, so he got out and gave chase.
The figure had already run up the earthen hill.
Jin Wanliang called out, "Dahai, stop! I know it's you. If you don't see me, I'll go find Suzhen and Shumei!"
The people in front immediately stopped in their tracks.
Turning back, I walked down the hillside:
"Dad, it's you! I thought someone was chasing me."
This man was Yuan Hai.
When Jin Wanliang asked him why he was there, Yuan Hai told him:
He said that after escaping, he bought some steamed buns and dry food, and then ran out of the city.
He originally intended to stay out at night and go into the village to find his wife and children.
However, almost every household in Jiapigou now keeps a dog, and they are extremely vigilant.
There were also militia stationed there, so he didn't dare go in at all.
With no other option, they waited at the village entrance for Fan Suzhen and Yuan Shumei to come out so they could meet again.
His eldest daughter lived in town, and he dared not go there.
Knowing that Yang Shouye was a snobbish and opportunistic man who would surely take advantage of his misfortune, he decided to take advantage of him.
The eldest daughter is not quick-witted and can't help me much.
Moreover, the police know about my relationship with the Yang family, and may have been keeping an eye on them for a long time.
He's been hiding at the wood factory construction site in the back hills for the past few days since he ran away.
There are temporary sheds here. The factory is under construction during the day, and the workers go home at night.
There was a stove in the shed, which was barely enough to keep warm overnight.
During the day, he would hide in the woods at the village entrance and watch the main road.
He hopes to meet his wife or daughter, Shumei.
He hid when he saw a jeep coming.
Unexpectedly, Jin Wanliang had sharp eyesight, spotted him, and suddenly chased after him.
Jin Wanliang listened to Yuan Hai recount the whole story.
He asked again, "You were arrested, did Mei Ping and the others mention Lu Yao?"
Yuan Hai shook his head: "No, they didn't know Lu Yao was involved."
Jin Wanliang heard Yuan Hai say that it really was a portrait of Zhao Wanli's daughter.
That's when I realized I had been overthinking it.
However, we cannot easily trust Lu Yao.
He instructed Yuan Hai:
"He Yongshun and Lu Yao are both unreliable. You and I are blood relatives, so remember to keep a close eye on them and prevent them from betraying us. As soon as we get that map, we'll head into the mountains! We'll use Lu Yao, being a local and familiar with the area, to our advantage. If we find the supplies, kill him immediately!"
Yuan Hai sighed and nodded: "Father, now that things have come to this, this is the only way I can go. When we leave, will we be able to take Suzhen and the child with us?"
"Of course, they're all part of our family!"
Just then, Lu Yao and He Yongshun returned with guns.
Yuan Tianshu hurriedly gave Yuan Hai a few instructions, then drove over to meet him.
Lu Yao was very surprised to see Yuan Hai:
"Uncle Yuan, what are you doing here?"
Following Jin Wanliang's instructions, Yuan Hai lied to Lu Yao, saying that he was waiting for them here as Jin Wanliang had instructed.
Jin Wanliang comforted Lu Yao:
"Now that we have one more person, you should be relieved, right?"
"Um!"
Lu Yao nodded:
"We will definitely succeed this time."
Lu Yao assigned two small-caliber rifles to Yuan Hai and He Yongshun.
Although this gun isn't very powerful, it's still a gun, and it can be lethal at close range.
On their way back, Jin Wanliang and Lu Yao planned their actions for tonight.
As long as they get the map, they'll kill the entire Zhao family to silence them.
Then, Lu Yao's car was used to go out of the city and connect to the Great Ring Mountain.
Once the treasure location is found, a portion will be distributed. If there's too much to take, it will remain hidden in its original location, with Lu Yao staying behind to guard it. Yuan Tianshu will then lead Yuan Hai out of the country.
Lu Yao knew that the old bandit was trying to comfort him.
How could he possibly keep something he'd spent half his life searching for for himself?
I'm afraid that once they find him, the first thing they'll do is kill me.
He wouldn't take advantage of me now, but he's also being cautious and wary of me.
Lu Yao asked, "So when do we make our move?"
"After midnight tonight, try not to fire any shots if possible. The quieter the journey, the smoother it will be."
Lu Yao looked at Jin Wanliang: "Old man, are you sure that picture is definitely at Zhao Wanli's house?"
Jin Wanliang was also worried about this matter, but he firmly believed that Zhao Wanli must know the whereabouts of the map, otherwise where did those two photos come from?
Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to take a desperate gamble.
He sat in the back seat, still staring at Lu Yao.
They placed seven-tenths of their caution on Lu Yao.
After driving for a while, Lu Yao parked his car on the side of the road:
"I'm in such a rush, I need to pee."
Yuan Hai nodded: "I also need to pee."
Jin Wanliang looked at He Yongshun: "Then everyone go down and clean it up."
The man from the west came down, and Lu Yao stood by the ditch and started to drain the water.
Yuan Hai and He Yongshun threw their guns in the car and got out.
He urinated next to Lu Yao.
Yuan Tianchu stood a few steps away from them, looked down to the west, and saw that the wilderness was deserted.
There were only those two men.
So he unbuttoned his pants.
He Yongshun also lifted his cotton-padded jacket and started unbuttoning his pants...
