Chapter 177 The Person Who Takes Care of Yunxuan

Just five words were enough to drain all the color from Scarface's face.

However, he quickly calmed down.

"What, what Yun family? This isn't the Yun family's place. How dare you barge in?"

"Get out of here, or I'll call the police."

Mu Qian glanced at Dou Liang, who was avoiding him, with his mental energy. "Let Dou Liang, the orderly, come out and talk."

Scarface, who had been trying to remain calm, suddenly collapsed to the ground with his legs giving way.

It's over, completely over.

Who exactly are they? How do they know even this?

Mu Qian looked at Lin Shu and said, "Bring out those two people from the room behind the living room."

Scarface realized what was happening and shouted inside, "You guys get out of here!"

The people inside naturally heard it, but it was too late to leave.

Lin Shu was so fast that no one could react. He rushed into the house like lightning and was in front of the two people in an instant.

As a soldier serving a high-ranking official, he had seen many big scenes and was very good at assessing situations.

Looking at Lin Shu, who stood like a wall, he patted his clothes and said, "I'll walk myself!"

Lin Shu stepped aside to let the two pass.

Once outside, Dou Liang glanced at the group, finally fixing his gaze on Mu Qian.

With a smile on his face, he adopted the air of a superior and asked, "What brings you comrades to see me?"

Mu Qian is somewhat similar to Yun Li in that he dislikes polite small talk and beating around the bush.

"Mu Qian from the Otherworld Bureau would like to ask Comrade Dou Liang, is it you or someone else who has designs on the Yun family's treasure?"

Upon hearing the words "Mu Qian of the Bureau of Strange Events," Dou Liang, Scarface, and the other person all displayed immense fear and panic.

Scarface yelled at them to leave quickly not because he was afraid their identities would be exposed, but because he was afraid these people would hurt Dou Liang.

But now...

It's no longer a matter of being afraid of being hurt.

Instead, it implicated the leader.

Looking at Mu Qian's indifferent face, Dou Liang felt no glimmer of hope.

Because he knew that if the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs wanted to investigate something thoroughly, they could investigate it completely.

He closed his eyes weakly and gestured for them to come in, "Comrade Mu and the others, what do you want to know? Let's come in and sit down to talk."

Mu Qian glanced at Yun Li, who nodded subtly.

Mu Qian took the lead and walked in first, followed by the others into the house.

After everyone sat down, Scarface recovered and quickly took out tea leaves to boil water and make tea.

"Comrade Mu, since you know I'm looking for the Yun family's treasure, I'll tell you the truth."

After everyone sat down, Dou Liang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"The treasure was indeed ordered to be investigated by the commander, but it was not something the commander wanted to embezzle. Instead, it was intended to be used to subsidize the families of fallen soldiers and disabled soldiers."

"Do you have evidence?" Mu Qian asked coldly.

"Yes!" Dou Liang's eyes lit up; the fact that he could ask meant he wouldn't be cut off immediately.

"Although our leader holds a high rank, he lives a very hard life. He can only eat meat twice a month, and that's only because the doctor specifically told him to do so for the necessary nutrition for his body."

"Comrade Mu, you can look into this matter."

"Furthermore, our commander has no savings whatsoever. He only keeps ten yuan of his monthly allowance for food and drink, and sends the rest to the soldiers who had suffered hardships under his command."

"The remittance slips are all with the Chief's wife; Comrade Mu can also check them."

Mu Qian glanced at Sun Tianxiang, who immediately understood his meaning. She got up and went out to make a phone call, asking her colleagues at the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs in J City to investigate.

When Dou Liang saw Sun Tianxiang walk out, he guessed what she was going to do.

While waiting and chatting, he complained on behalf of his superior, "Comrade Mu, our superior has really suffered too much. He has a great sense of righteousness, but his children don't understand."

"Now, if a leader wants to see his or her children, he has to make one phone call after another, begging them to come back."

Of the people present, apart from the two who were with Dou Liang, Yun Li, Mu Qian, and Lin Shu were unable to empathize with this leader.

Some things are truly impossible to define as right or wrong; it's simply a matter of different perspectives.

Seeing that no one responded, Dou Liang felt a little embarrassed and was about to find another topic to talk about when he heard a slightly immature voice.

"How did you find out that the Yun family has a treasure?"

Dou Liang looked in the direction of the voice and saw the boy, who was only a teenager. Scarface didn't even have time to explain that Yun Li was a member of the Yun family.

Therefore, Dou Liang was unaware of her identity.

However, considering that she was with Mu Qian and the others, it's likely that she's also from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

After all, the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs only looks at ability, not age, so it's not unusual for them to have children.

Not daring to be negligent, he immediately replied, "It was said by a person named Yun Jiaoyue, but we later learned that this 'Yun Jiaoyue' was not the real Yun Jiaoyue, but an adopted daughter of the Yun family named Yun Xuan who was impersonating her."

Yun Li narrowed his eyes, thinking of how Yun Xuan had been sent down to the north and people had come to her aid and take care of her.

"Did you put in a good word for Yunxuan during her time in the countryside, and arrange for someone to take care of her?"

Dou Liang could clearly sense that the little girl was angry. Although he didn't know why she was angry, he still didn't dare to lie.

Yes, yes.

"Why!" Yun Li stood up from the stool. "You should have known back then that she was impersonating Yun Jiaoyue."

He even vaguely knew that she had harmed the real Yun Jiaoyue, so why was he still helping her?

Dou Liang's heart was in his throat. He tried hard to suppress his unease and explained, "We were wrong, but there were reasons for it."

"Speak!" Yun Li looked at him coldly.

Dou Liang was startled by her shout and dared not lie for a second.

"Before Yunxuan was sent down to the countryside, she asked someone to deliver a letter to the leader."

The letter contained many ancient prescriptions, and at the end of the letter she said that she knew many ancient prescriptions.

She also knows many ways to improve airplanes and artillery, and only asks that the commander take care of her after she is demoted.

"The commander was quite surprised at the time, as this person actually had such abilities. However, the commander did not completely believe it, so he consulted an old Chinese medicine doctor about the prescription. The old Chinese medicine doctor exclaimed that this was a truly excellent prescription."

"Upon hearing this, the commander was pleasantly surprised. Judging from this prescription, it is very likely that what she said later about improving airplanes and artillery is true."

"The leader immediately reported to the higher authorities, who said that they would give it another try. If she could produce a blueprint for improving airplanes and cannons, she could return from her post in the countryside and join the Academy of Science and Technology."

"The commander thought it made sense, so he sent a letter, but before he even received the blueprints, he discovered that she had disappeared."

"The commander sent people to look for her, but they couldn't find her. Unexpectedly, she reappeared a few months later."

"But before the leader could even make contact with her, she was taken away by the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs."

"Afterwards, the leader also approached Director Wei of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, explained Yunxuan's abilities, and hoped that he would make an exception for the sake of the country and let her off the hook for now."

"But who could have imagined that Director Wei would tell the leader directly that Yunxuan's skills shouldn't be taken too seriously, as they already have more advanced technology."

"After hearing this, the commander stopped paying attention to it."

After Dou Liang finished speaking, he carefully observed the expressions on Yun Li and the others' faces.

The younger one had a cold face, while the three older ones were a wooden puppet, expressionless, and staring straight outside, which made him uneasy.
