Because there were so many cultural relics from the Forbidden City placed in the Nanjing government at the time that they could not be transported all at once, they were divided into three batches for transfer.

On the cold winter morning of December 21, 1948, the first batch of cultural relics began to be transported on a navy transport ship "Zhongding". It departed from Xiaguan Wharf and went directly to Keelung Port in Greater Bay Area. A total of 320 boxes of cultural relics were transported in this first batch.

On January 6, 1949, two weeks after the first batch of artifacts was transferred, the second batch of Forbidden City artifacts began to be transferred. They were transported on the transport ship "Hai Hu Lun" sent by the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company. This batch of artifacts carried 1680 boxes of artifacts, the largest of the three batches. Among them were various exquisite porcelains and bronzes, as well as the complete set of the Wenyuan Pavilion "Si Ku Quan Shu" and the Li Zao Tang "Si Ku Quan Shu Hui Yao". These bronzes and porcelains later became the treasures of the Taipei Palace Museum.

The third and final shipment of Forbidden City artifacts began 22 days later, on January 28, 1949. This shipment, aboard the warship Kunlun, carried 972 boxes. The original plan was to ship 1700 boxes, but due to insufficient space, only a portion was shipped. Among this shipment was a rare Forbidden City treasure: a jasper screen.

Li Moer took away all the collections of the Da Wan Museum last time. Many national treasures recorded in the documentary were missing, which made Li Moer always feel uneasy. So she concluded that the person did not hand over all the antiques to the National Palace Museum in Taipei, but kept a large part of them.

Li Moer's mind swept across the hall, and suddenly his blood began to boil.

There were more than a thousand large wooden boxes densely stacked in the hall. I scanned those boxes with my mind and saw that all of them were filled with neatly stacked cultural relics and antiques.

There were ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and bronze artifacts. Li Moer was so excited that she kept saying, "Wow, wow, there are so many. No wonder we didn't see those good things in the museum."

Dou Wenzheng said: "At that time, only about 30% or 40% of the works were donated to the museum, most of which were ordinary, while the fine works are all stored here."

Li Moer's hands trembled with excitement. She asked, "Why did he store all these things here instead of selling them or donating them to a museum?"

Dou Wenzheng said: "He wants to leave these things to his descendants. If they ever want to return to the mainland, they can use these things as bargaining chips to negotiate with the mainland government!"

Li Moer nodded to show that she understood, and then under Dou Wenzhen's astonished gaze, all these priceless antiques disappeared.

Li Moer was in a good mood and said to Dou Wenzheng, "You were injured by Long Yun. That cup of spiritual spring water is not enough to fully recover. I will take you to the spiritual spring pool to recover. Old Wei, you can go in too and catch up with us."

Then she waved her hand, and Dou Wenzhen and Old Man Wei all entered the spiritual spring pool in the space.

Li Moer ignored the two of them, but left the cave, took out a fighter jet, and headed east.

At a radar station in Da Wan Province, a radar soldier suddenly stood up and said to the officer drinking tea nearby: "Report to the commander, that plane has appeared and is currently flying east from Taipei City!"

Upon hearing this, the officer immediately called the flight brigade, and soon two F5-Es chased Li Moer's fighter plane from behind.

Li Moer's speed was not fast, and he was caught up by two F5-Es before he reached Wangyou Island. After seeing this, Li Moer did not go to Wangyou Island, but turned a corner and flew towards Japan.

The two F5-3 pilots could confirm it was a Japanese plane at first glance, but they still had to wait and see what happened in case they were wrong. They had to confirm it was a Japanese plane before they could report back. Then, the Greater Bay Area could issue a diplomatic note to Japan, condemning the Japanese for sending aircraft to the Greater Bay Area without authorization.

Li Moer flew the two F5-3s for a while, and began to accelerate after being seven or eight hundred kilometers away from Japan. After a while, the two fighter planes could not even see Li Moer's shadow!
