After hearing what Jiang Jiyun said, Ma Chao and the others immediately ran over and looked in the direction of his finger.

It was still dark at this time, and the torches were particularly obvious in the mountains. Even without a telescope, they could easily find that there was a team entering the mountains.

Ma Chao made a prompt decision and said to Chen Meng and Zhang An, "Chen Meng, Zhang An, you two go over and investigate the situation first."

However, Jiang Jiyun suddenly raised his hand and volunteered, "Brother Ma, let me take them over! I have a drone, and it's much faster than running."

Zhang An quickly shook his head and objected: "No, it's almost dawn, and if we are in the air, it will be easy to expose our target."

Jiang Jiyun looked in that direction, thought for a moment, and then said, "We can try to fly higher and then land farther away from them. That way, we won't be discovered."

Jiang Wenming listened to her words and said with some concern: "Then you must promise not to start a fight first or to take the initiative to cause trouble!"

Jiang Jiyun quickly grabbed his uncle's clothes and promised solemnly, "I promise, as long as it's not the Japanese army, I will never take action!"

"Let her go. I don't know what's wrong with this child. She is so energetic. She just took a nap for a while yesterday, and she has been so tired ever since." Jiang Wenming also helped her talk to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao looked at Jiang Jiyun's eager look and nodded.

Jiang Jiyun saw that Ma Ge agreed, released the drone and climbed up. She turned around and urged Zhang An and the others, "Hurry up!"

Xiaotian and Xiaowei stared at the drone, watching it take off into the air and carry the people farther and farther away until it disappeared from their sight.

The two looked at each other, then acted without hesitation.

They quickly picked up the shovel, found a place with soil, dug up the soil, and buried the fire that still had sparks, making sure that no trace of sparks remained.

After some effort, they put out the fire, then carefully checked the surroundings to make sure that there would be no sparks to cause a fire. Then they carried the unconscious man on the ground to find Captain Lu and then went to the mountain city to meet up with Ma Chao and others.

Ma Chao and his companions knew very well the importance of that list, because it was the Japanese undercover list!

Although they currently only know the official positions of some of them, they need to check carefully to see who they are to avoid killing the wrong people.

Moreover, those female spies were lurking in the homes of military officers or politicians. To assassinate them, one had to first determine what these people looked like.

However, this task cannot be completed in one day. They need to search slowly without disturbing each other.

At this time, Jiang Jiyun and the other three got off the drone and quickly put on the khaki ghillie suits, which could blend into the surrounding environment and could be hidden well.

They found a suitable place to lie in wait for their target to appear.

The terrain here is higher, and one can overlook the surrounding situation. There are also some grass and bushes as cover. Jiang Jiyun and the others lay there motionless.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about twenty minutes, a noisy sound came from the distance.

A group of people holding torches were passing not far ahead of them.

Jiang Jiyun and the others watched the group through binoculars. She asked in disbelief, "Brother Zhang, that's the Nationalist army, right? Are they the ones forcing so many civilians to carry things?"

"Yes."

Hearing Zhang An's affirmative answer, Jiang Jiyun asked suspiciously, "Then where are they carrying the things to? Are they setting up an ambush? Or is there a large group of Japanese troops in this mountain?"

Zhang An sighed helplessly, turned around and explained to Jiang Jiyun, "Is it possible that they weren't carrying weapons or equipment, but valuables?"

Chen Meng was so angry he almost laughed out loud when he heard this. "So, after they learned the Japs were about to launch another large-scale bombing, instead of quickly arranging for the evacuation of the people in the city, they moved their property here overnight?"

"Property? That's just money!" Jiang Jiyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "Then we're going to get rich! With this money, we can buy a lot of materials and machinery!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiyun couldn't help but smile. However, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and her smile froze instantly.

"Wait a minute," Jiang Jiyun muttered to himself, "When that principal fled the mainland, he took a lot of gold with him! He hid the ones he couldn't take with him. Could this be the treasure he hid and was about to take away?"

This thought made Jiang Jiyun's heart beat faster, but she quickly shook her head and said to herself, "That's not right. It's still several years before they leave. How could they start arranging to transfer their belongings so early?"

They followed them until dusk when they saw them stop in front of a cliff.

They watched as a hole appeared on the stone wall. The people carried all the things in one by one before sealing the hole again.

Jiang Jiyun fell asleep out of boredom while they were moving things. Zhang An asked Chen Meng to look after the sleeping child while he sneaked over.

When Jiang Jiyun woke up, those who hid the things had already left.

Zhang An also discovered that someone had left behind clear traces of their passage. Chen Meng said worriedly, "I'm a little worried about the lives of those people."

Jiang Jiyun asked confusedly, "Ordinary people? They won't kill those people, will they?"

Zhang An sighed and said, "That's for sure. I suspect those people belong to some high-ranking military officer. Now we should go rescue them."

The drone was taken out again. Jiang Jiyun looked at the cliff with nostalgia and said, "Human lives are at stake. Let's get going quickly."

When the three men quickly caught up with the group of people, they saw them holding guns and preparing to attack. Without them having to do anything, a group of people in Zhongshan suits suddenly appeared and opened fire on the Kuomintang soldiers.

"Da da da!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

When the two sides started fighting, some clever people among the people took the opportunity to escape, and some people saw people running away and ran towards the mountains.

Jiang Jiyun and his men secretly treated some people, and after all the people had left, they secretly left.

The battle was raging over there. After Jiang Jiyun brought Zhang An and Chen Meng into the space, he asked doubtfully, "Brother Zhang An, were those people just rescuing civilians? Did you figure out who they were? Could they be our people?"

"I don't know. I don't think they are keen on fighting, and their shooting skills are a mess. They don't look professional. Maybe they found something in the city and chased here to save people!" Zhang An observed the breath of those people, and they should have chased here in a hurry.

"That should be it. I saw them disperse and flee when they saw the people running away." Chen Meng thought about what he saw and was sure that they were the ones who rescued people.

"Since there's nothing for us to do over there, let's go collect the money and make sure they get nothing!"
