Chapter 324 The map appears
Li Youquan decided to add more people and pool their wisdom, perhaps in this way he could discover some details that had not been noticed before.
Bai Ling also agreed. She took the book handed to her by Li Youquan and began to read it page by page.
She read every word, every punctuation mark, and even the corners of the pages carefully.
She hopes to find some hidden clues that will provide new directions for the search for the treasure.
Li Youquan's men acted quickly and notified others to gather in the office.
At the same time, they also brought the book they brought back from school.
After everyone arrived, they began to look through the two books.
Since the target was only these two books, several people crowded together to read them, hoping to find some clues from them.
However, after looking through it for a while, no one still had any clue.
They read the book from beginning to end over and over again, but still found no clues about the treasure.
"There are only these two books. We have checked them carefully. Is there really no clue?"
Li Youquan put down the book in his hand and frowned.
He originally thought that obtaining these two books was the key to solving the problem, but now it seems that the situation is not as simple as he imagined.
One of the middle-aged men also looked at Li Youquan with trepidation.
They tried their best but still found no clues.
He was afraid that Li Youquan would punish them for this.
"If nothing is discovered."
Bai Ling suddenly broke the silence and spoke hesitantly.
"Could it be that these clues are written in a special way? So, we can't see them just by looking at them with our naked eyes?"
Bai Ling's words made everyone present fall into deep thought.
Perhaps they really overlooked some important clues?
Maybe they really need to look for these clues in a different way?
Li Youquan's eyes suddenly became deep, as if he had thought of some key clue.
He glanced at Bai Ling beside him, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"I remember reading some ancient books that mentioned a special writing method. It is said that some secret contents, after being written with specific potions, will only appear when they are roasted by fire or soaked in water. I wonder if this is the mystery we have been looking for?"
Li Youquan's voice was full of excitement and anticipation.
He stared at Bai Ling with a sharp gaze, as if waiting for her response.
However, at this moment Bai Ling was lost in thought, and she was also seriously considering Li Youquan's proposal.
After a moment, Bai Ling raised her head and nodded gently, with a hint of firmness in her voice.
"It doesn't hurt to try. As long as we are careful, we might be able to find some clues. After all, as long as we don't destroy the book, we still have a chance."
Hearing Bai Ling's response, Li Youquan immediately cast a firm look at his men beside him.
The men immediately understood and quickly prepared a brazier and a basin of water.
When he walked into the office again, everyone's eyes were on him.
He carefully placed the brazier and water on the table and stepped aside.
Li Youquan picked up the copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he had borrowed from Honghong and lightly roasted it over the fire a few times.
He originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that this attempt would actually produce results.
The cover began to change color slowly after being burned by fire, and a blurry map gradually appeared on the paper.
Everyone present was stunned. They stared with wide eyes at the map that was gradually appearing.
Li Youquan's eyes also became sharp. He glanced at everyone present and spoke in a serious tone.
"I hope you can all keep your mouth shut. If this matter gets out, the consequences will be disastrous. I don't want to see anyone interfere with our plans."
His tone was filled with unquestionable majesty, which made everyone present feel oppressed.
They all nodded in agreement, and no one dared to refute Li Youquan's decision.
After a well-thought-out warning, Li Youquan finally waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.
His eyes were firm and sharp, as if they could see through all hypocrisy and lies.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, the office soon returned to silence, leaving only Bai Ling standing there quietly.
"Are you worried about them?"
Bai Ling asked softly. Although there was doubt in her words, her eyes revealed her firm support for Li Youquan's decision.
She stared at Li Youquan, as if expecting him to give a clear answer.
Li Youquan nodded gently, his brows furrowed, obviously thinking about something.
He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his temple, as if trying to relieve the tension and pressure in his heart.
"I felt something was wrong when I was doing it before,"
Li Youquan said in a deep voice, with a hint of indignation in his tone.
"Their reaction was so quick that it almost exceeded our expectations. I have been wondering, if there were no agents planted among us, how can we explain this abnormal reaction?"
There was a hint of doubt and uneasiness in Li Youquan's words, but his eyes became sharper and more determined.
He was fully aware of the importance of this matter, and also understood what impact it would have on their future actions once the identity of the traitor was confirmed.
"If I could find out who dared to do this kind of thing under my command,"
Li Youquan continued, but this time his eyes became particularly cold and hard.
"I will never let him off easily. I will make him pay the price he deserves as a warning to others."
After hearing this, Bai Ling also became alert. She nodded slightly to show that she agreed with Li Youquan's approach.
She understood the seriousness of the matter and was well aware of Li Youquan's determination and perseverance.
She believes that under the leadership of Li Youquan, they will be able to overcome this difficulty and usher in a better future.
"But, having said that, this method is indeed quite covert, almost ingenious. Who would have thought that the crucial clue would be hidden right in front of us, so ordinary, yet so difficult to detect."
When Bai Ling's eyes fell on the map displayed on the paper, a hint of emotion could not help but be revealed in her tone.
This feeling is both an admiration for the cleverly hidden clues and an anticipation for the unknown challenges that are about to be faced.
At the same time, Li Youquan also came back to his senses from his previous thoughts.
He recalled the information he had previously interrogated from those enemy spies, and his face suddenly turned grim.
"It seems that this group of people still have a trick up their sleeve. They deliberately told us that the clues were written, but in fact they wanted us to be helpless when faced with real clues."
