"What do you mean?" Lin Qian asked coldly, her voice full of vigilance, "Do you want us to forgive you and then share the gems with you?"

Hearing this, the man quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, I definitely don't mean that. I just hope you can give me a chance to do something for you to make up for my previous mistakes."

Hearing this, Li Hao sneered: "Humph, do you think we will believe you? You just wanted to snatch our gems, and now you are pretending to be a good person. Do you think we will be fooled by you so easily?"

The man's face turned a little awkward when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind: "I know you may not believe me, but I can swear that I will never do anything to hurt you again. Moreover, I can tell you a secret as a token of my sincerity in changing my ways."

"Secret?" Lin Qian asked curiously. She couldn't help but feel a little curious and expectant. "What secret?"

The man smiled mysteriously, then approached the three of them and whispered, "Deep in this forest, there is a forgotten ancient ruin. It is said that there are more precious treasures and powerful weapons hidden there. If you are willing to trust me, I can take you to find the ruins."

Lin Qian, Li Hao and Xiao Wang were all excited when they heard this. They knew that if they could find the ruins, they might get a richer reward. However, they also knew that the man's words were not credible and he might be trying to lure them into a trap.

"Why should we trust you?" Xiao Wang asked cautiously, his eyes full of vigilance. "You just wanted to steal our gems, and now you are telling us this secret. What is your purpose?"

Hearing this, the man quickly explained: "I swear, I have really changed this time. I just hope that you can give me a chance to prove my worth. Besides, the ruins do exist, I can take you to find it. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see the entrance of the ruins first so you can confirm it."

Lin Qian, Li Hao and Xiao Wang looked at each other, their hearts filled with hesitation and entanglement. They knew that the man was indeed untrustworthy, but they also wanted to find the ruins. After some discussion, they decided to follow the man to see the entrance of the ruins before making a decision.

Seeing this, the man showed a smug smile on his face. He led the three of them through the dense forest and came to a hidden valley. There, they saw a cave entrance blocked by a huge rock, with some ancient runes and patterns engraved on the entrance.

"This is the entrance to the ruins." The man pointed to the cave and said, "I can take you in, but you must promise not to hurt me."

Lin Qian, Li Hao and Xiao Wang looked at the cave entrance and couldn't help but feel excited. They knew that the cave entrance might hide the treasures and weapons they had always dreamed of. However, they also knew that the man's words were not credible and they had to remain vigilant.

“Okay, let’s go in and take a look first.” Lin Qian said, her voice full of determination and confidence, “But you have to remember, if you dare to play any tricks, we will never let you go.”

Hearing this, the man nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I have really changed my ways this time. I will definitely cooperate with you."

So, the four of them walked into the cave together. It was pitch black inside the cave, and they could only rely on torches and flashlights in their hands to illuminate the way forward. They walked carefully, fearing that they would trigger some mechanism or trap.

After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the center of the ruins. There, they saw a huge treasure chest inlaid with various dazzling gems and runes. They couldn't help but feel excited, as if they had seen the rich treasures and powerful weapons.

"Is this the treasure?" Li Hao asked excitedly, his voice full of anticipation and excitement.

The man nodded: "Yes, this is the treasure. You can open it and see what's inside."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qian, Li Hao, and Xiao Wang all came forward. They carefully opened the treasure chest, only to find it filled with all kinds of precious treasures and weapons. There were glittering gold coins, dazzling gems, sharp swords, solid armor... Their eyes were shining with greed and desire, as if they had forgotten the danger around them.

However, at this moment, the man suddenly showed a ferocious smile. He rushed towards Lin Qian and tried to snatch the gem from her hand. Lin Qian screamed and dodged quickly. Li Hao and Xiao Wang also reacted quickly when they saw this. They rushed towards the man together and subdued him to the ground.

“You liar!” Lin Qian shouted angrily, “How dare you trick us!”

The man was subdued to the ground, with a look of despair and unwillingness on his face. He stared at the three of them with wide eyes and fiercely said, "You will regret this! I will make you pay the price!"

Hearing this, Li Hao sneered: "Humph, do you think we will still believe you? You are dead this time!"

As they spoke, the three of them tied up the man and prepared to take him back to the city to hand him over to the police. Before leaving the ruins, they decided to distribute the treasures and weapons in the treasure chest. The three of them each picked some of their favorite treasures and weapons, and then divided the rest among themselves.

“This expedition was truly thrilling,” Lin Qian exclaimed, “but we succeeded in the end.”

"Yes." Li Hao agreed, "Thanks to everyone's joint efforts and wisdom."

"But," Xiao Wang added, "we also have to thank that liar. If he hadn't brought us here, we wouldn't have found the treasure."

Lin Qian nodded after hearing this: "That's right, but we must also remember this lesson and not easily believe what strangers say."

The three of them held each other's hands tightly, with a determined light in their eyes. They knew that this expedition not only allowed them to harvest precious wealth and weapons, but also sublimated their friendship and trust. They decided to return to the city together and use the money to realize their respective dreams and pursuits.

On the way back, the three of them remained alert and cautious. They knew that although the man had been subdued by them, he might have accomplices or other conspiracies. They had to remain vigilant at all times to ensure their own safety.
