Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Lu Yao had no confidence in his ability to control Yuan Tianchu.

This was also a gamble, and he smiled as he asked Yuan Tianshu:

"Old man, if I'm not mistaken, there's no mysterious person manipulating us. You just want to use me to help you, but you won't admit it! That's not very manly of you!"

Yuan Tianchu's expression hardened, and he remained silent, trying to figure out Lu Yao's intentions.

Lu Yao added, "I don't have the original photos. If I did, I would have gone treasure hunting myself long ago. I learned about this from Shi Shouyin, and then from Mei Ping. It's all pieced together. Old man, if you really want to cooperate, then show some sincerity and tell me the details. I'll take care of the other two photos!"

Seeing that Lu Yao had frankly explained how he knew about this, Yuan Tianshu hesitated.

Killing Lu Yao is clearly not the best course of action.

I will find myself in a stalemate again.

No one would risk their life for them. Even if they knew the picture was in the police station, they couldn't possibly risk rushing in. They were just wandering around like headless flies.

Lu Yao is undoubtedly the best partner.

The real question isn't whether Lu Yao is capable, but whether he's truly on my side.

Seeing Yuan Tianshu hesitate, Lu Yao lit the cigarette in his hand.

The gun was put away.

"Sir, we've been friends. If you don't want to get rich by dragging me into this, I won't report you. Keep these two photos; if I get the chance, I'll get the other two back for you. Farewell!"

After saying that, he walked out.

In terms of force, Yuan Tianshu was not confident of defeating Lu Yao.

Besides, Lu Yao also had a gun.

At this moment, Lu Yao was absolutely capable of catching him.

He didn't do that... There seems to be only one reason, and that is greed!

Lu Yao opened the door, and Yuan Tianshu called out to him:

"Xiao Lu, I believe you! I believe you won't betray me."

Lu Yao laughed heartily: "That's the kind of senior I admire, making decisive decisions when things come to a head."

The two sat down again.

Yuan Tianchu sighed and said:

"Young man, let me tell you the truth. That batch of supplies was transported back from the south by the Japanese. Many of them were looted from Burma, Malaysia, and India. They were gathered at the Guangdong Bureau headquarters in Northeast China, ready to be transported back to Japan via the Tumen River in Hunchun."

He spoke very slowly, clearly hesitating as he spoke.

When the final decision was made, his speaking speed noticeably increased:

"However, this shipment was intercepted and hidden by a general named Kang Run of the Northeast Army. But General Kang Run also got himself into trouble; his superiors dared not protect him, the Kwantung Army pursued him, and he was eventually killed in battle."

"Later, by chance, I obtained a painting from his father, which was Xu Beihong's Eight Horses."

"Although this painting is by a master, it is insignificant compared to that batch of goods."

"This general embroidered the location of the hidden supplies into a map and included it in the Eight Horses Painting Scroll. The secret of this was known only to him and his father."

"The general later died in battle, and his father also died. On his deathbed, he told me the secret."

"Therefore, I'm the only one in this world who knows the whereabouts of these priceless supplies!"

Lu Yao couldn't help but ask, "It couldn't have been the general hiding the supplies alone, could it? What about his troops?"

Yuan Tianchu remained silent for a few seconds.

Staring into Lu Yao's eyes:

"If it were you, would you keep all the people who know your secrets here?"

Lu Yao sensed the venom in the old bandit's eyes.

However, he still laughed and said, "If there were more supplies, we would need at least several dozen brothers. We can't just kill them all to silence them."

Yuan Tianchu smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

His defenses lowered a little more.

This young man is still too young; he's not ruthless enough.

Being loyal to someone is just a superficial thing.

That was a weakness that was being exploited.

If Lu Yao really thinks that way, perhaps he'll be easier to control.

"Regardless of whether those people are still around, the general's father left a message saying that only I know the location of that map."

"The general died in battle, but how did his father die?"

"He died of illness. His father and I were very close friends, so he told me this secret."

Of course, Yuan Tianshu couldn't say that he tortured the general's father for hours, cutting off pieces of flesh from one of his legs before he would talk.

Lu Yao nodded: "Grandpa, since you're telling me the truth, I'll help you. But you have to tell me the secret of this map. We each need two photos, and if one of us leaves the other, the other won't be able to find the treasure location."

Yuan Tianchu gave a bitter smile:

"Xiao Lu, don't you believe me? Without the original image, it's all for nothing. This photo is completely useless for deciphering the map's routes."

"I don't know where the original image is either!"

Yuan Tianchu frowned in thought, then got up, walked around, and looked at Lu Yao:

"Let's go back to square one. You continue to get closer to Mei Ping, and I'll meet Zhao Wanli and we'll continue our exploration. From today onwards, we're in a united front, working together until we find the original map."

Lu Yao also looked disappointed: "Then that's the only way. Do we still need the two photos in the evidence room?"

Yuan Tianchu shook his head: "These photos are useless. This is a panoramic view of Da Huan Mountain. I know that batch of goods is in Da Huan Mountain, but the mountain range stretches for hundreds of miles. Searching blindly is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Lu Yao asked curiously, "Then what's the difference between a real picture and a photograph? Isn't this photograph a photograph of that picture?"

Yuan Tianchu sighed again: "Even if it were, it wouldn't be of any use. Remember, without the original image, you simply can't find it."

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Yuan Hai has returned.

Yuan Tianchu waved his hand: "Xiao Lu, go back. I consider you a business partner, don't let me down!"

Yuan Tianchu was also a shrewd and capable man who could take risks and let go of things easily. At this moment, he weighed the pros and cons and decided to take the risk and trust Lu Yao.

He believed that Lu Yao was only after money.

If he wants to catch you, you really can't stop him.

If he was Mei Ping's undercover agent, he could have easily ambushed and arrested Zhao Wanli when he went to Zhao Wanli's house.

Lu Yao rose to take his leave:

"Okay, as long as the map is in the hands of the Public Security Bureau, I will do my best to get it out. But it's agreed that we'll go into Dahuan Mountain together."

It's a deal.

The two held hands tightly.

Smile at each other.

They both knew the other person wasn't on their side, but they had no other choice.

Lu Yao was convinced that Yuan Tianshu had been lying low for so many years just to obtain this batch of goods.

He has no better way to leave now.

The fact that he didn't collude with the police to arrest him is enough to prove that he wanted to cooperate with him.

And that was indeed what Yuan Tianchu thought.

There is simply no one more suitable to use than Lu Yao right now.

It's better to be friends than enemies.

They understood each other implicitly and shook hands as a pledge.

Lu Yao left the Yuan family's house and drove back.

When they arrived at a secluded area, they stopped the car and took out the embroidery pattern that they had kept close to their body.

Unfold it in the car to see.

A three-foot-long scroll painting, colorful embroidery, and a vividly depicted landscape...

I honestly can't see any signs indicating where the treasure is hidden.

I couldn't see any markings no matter how many times I looked at them.

Even if the old bandit doesn't tell you, it's difficult to figure it out on your own.

He said the photo wasn't good, so could it be that the original image needs to be edited?

How it moves is something the person who designed this image won't tell you, so there's no way of knowing!

While I was studying, I suddenly heard a commotion in front of me.

This place is near the suburbs, and there aren't many people around here. Why are people suddenly coming?

Looking outside, she saw a few street thugs blocking a woman's bicycle.

Turn the page, and you'll find yourself in another world.
