Chapter 73 Plan leaked?

In the next few days,
Wang Hao transformed into a phantom in the night, often traveling between various areas, quietly provoking relationships and infecting with explosives.

Without the holder of the Eye of God, it would be almost impossible for the people here to discover him.

Of course, after going through the routine of using lime powder, paint, and the like, he became much more careful and took extra care not to leave any traces.

With the cooperation of Wang Hao and Shi Jie, the progress of the Yinyuan Society was greatly delayed.

Over the past few days, either the treasure-stealing group had a fight or the private army outside was dissatisfied with the food.

The elders who were responsible for mediating between the various parties were exhausted and could only barely maintain superficial peace.

Even if there is no evidence pointing to anyone's interference, these changes are enough to make the person in charge suspicious.

Central region,

Shi Jie calmly followed a few core members into the tent of the person in charge.

The tent was large and luxurious, but this luxury did not seem to give the owner a sense of security.

After seeing Shi Jie and others come in,
The person in charge didn't say anything more and immediately said, "Something is not right recently. To ensure safety, I plan to send some people out to hide first."

These salt rats are worthy of being the ones who can survive Ningguang's hands. Even the sense of crisis without any evidence makes him alert and ready to send out seeds.

"What? Father, what happened?" Yan Wu looked confused. He didn't notice anything wrong at all.

The same goes for the few salt survivors around.

Only Shi Jie frowned slightly: "Uncle, you mean our plan..."

The person in charge looked at Shi Jie with appreciation and said, "Yan Jie, you are really good. Yes, I suspect that the plan has been leaked. Recently, the treasure-stealing groups and private armies outside have caused too many troubles. This is not right. I suspect that someone is deliberately instigating it."

Although there was no evidence, he just suspected it.

There was even a hint of doubt in his eyes when he looked at Shi Jie.

"Uncle, tell me what we should do. I'll listen to you." Shi Jie stated directly.

The person in charge nodded with satisfaction. Although this distant nephew was not closely related to him by blood, he was actively approaching him and had a sense of the overall situation when doing things. He was worth cultivating.

It was precisely because of this consideration that the person in charge included Shi Jie as a seed.

However, he still had doubts about Shi Jie.

"You leave quietly tonight. I will give you an address where we have hidden a lot of wealth. If our plan fails this time, you can hide your identities and use the wealth there to make a comeback."

A cunning rabbit has three burrows.
The people from the Yinyuan Society have controlled the price of Liyue salt for so long, how could they not have a backup plan?

Shi Jie still did not hesitate: "In the name of the God of Salt, if it comes to this, I will definitely help Brother Yanwu to make a comeback!"

If you don't express your opinion now, when will you?
Shi Jie had no doubt that if he did not express his opinion, this admiring "uncle" in front of him would get rid of him without hesitation.

The wealth left behind was obviously left for Yanwu.

The person in charge looked even happier, patted Shi Jie's shoulder vigorously, and then looked at Yan Wu: "Xiao Wu, you should listen to Ajie's advice more in the future, okay?"

Although Yan Wu had a bad temper, he knew that his father would not harm him, so he nodded vigorously: "I understand."

Looking at Yan Wu's serious expression, the person in charge felt helpless as his son didn't understand at all.

Listening to more suggestions does not mean adopting them. This is what the person in charge really means.

Forget it, my silly son will eventually grow up. Yan Jie has even sworn an oath with the Salt Demon, so he will surely not betray his silly son.

"You guys go and get ready. I'll send someone to take you away at night." He did not reveal the location of the hidden base. Obviously, he would only tell Yan Wu this secret.

Shi Jie and others left the tent, and as expected, Yan Wu stayed.

After everyone left, the person in charge looked at Yan Wu and said, "After sending you out, you can listen to Yan Jie's words more. Although he... has some problems, he has sworn by the great God of Salt after all, so he should be trustworthy."

"Is there something wrong with Yan Jie?" Yan Wu looked confused.

The person in charge looked at his child helplessly, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, swear in the name of the God of Salt, then you are one of us. Don't think too much, go back and prepare."

……

Outside the tent, Shi Jie said goodbye to the others and hurried back to his own cabin. He did not attempt to contact Wang Hao.
He knew that at this moment, he was 100% being monitored.

Even...he had already discovered at least three surveillance personnel.

Monitoring a General Affairs Department spy, these salt survivors are somewhat ignorant of their own good.

So, Shi Jie packed up his things obediently and stayed in the house without any movement.

On the other side, Wang Hao was waiting in the treasure-stealing group's camp for Shi Jie to come and cause trouble, but no one showed up.

"Exposed?" Wang Hao's first reaction was that Shi Jie was exposed, but then he shook his head, "Impossible, if he was really exposed, there should be some news by now."

Wang Hao absolutely believed in Shi Jie's character. If the other party was exposed, he would definitely pass on the message at the cost of his life.

"Something must have happened, causing Shi Jie to be unable to take the initiative to contact me..."

Wang Hao quickly figured out the reason why Shi Jie couldn't take the initiative to meet him.

“He was being watched.”

"Then I'll go over and take a look."

Wang Hao decided to investigate directly. If there was really something wrong, he would not give up Shi Jie.

Of course, there was a reason why he went to see Shi Jie.

These days, Shi Jie occasionally came to "bully" him, and would also leave him some "tasks". In this way, Shi Jie could reasonably come to see Wang Hao.

Now that Shi Jie can't come, it's reasonable for Wang Hao to go find Shi Jie with the quest items.
After all, it is only natural for a lone member of a treasure-hunting group who is bullied every day to curry favor with the nobles in the central area.

Taking out the "mission item" left by Shi Jie, Wang Hao went straight out the door.

He arrived at the location near Shi Jie's cabin with ease.

Sure enough, Wang Hao discovered a few guys who were following him.

With his head lowered and pretending not to see anything, Wang Hao continued to move forward.

"Stop, what are you doing?" A secret sentry saw Wang Hao approaching Shi Jie's hut and immediately appeared and asked.

Wang Hao lowered his head tremblingly, holding something in his hand: "I, I'm here to deliver something to Master Jie."

"Send something? What?" The secret sentry looked at Wang Hao with displeasure.

Wang Hao raised his head slightly and looked at the other person cautiously: "Do you want to take a look at what Master Jie asked me to make the day before yesterday?"

As he spoke, he moved the box in his hand forward.

In fact, there was nothing much, just some exquisite little toys, which were in line with Shi Jie's identity as a naughty boy.
The sentry was really rude. He took the box, opened it and started checking it.

After a while, he returned the things to Wang Hao and warned him fiercely: "Remember, don't tell anyone about the inspection, or I will kill you."

Wang Hao nodded quickly, looking submissive.

The sentry glanced at Wang Hao with disdain, then waved his hand and said, "Go away."

Wang Hao hurriedly left in panic, his back staggering a little.

After being intercepted once, other secret guards stopped intercepting him again.

With a frightened look on his face, he walked all the way to Shi Jie's hut and knocked on the door: "Master Jie, are you there? I've brought you something."

Inside the room, Shi Jie's eyes lit up slightly, but his face darkened: "Calling a ghost, you bastard, you came so late, do you want to die?"

Then he opened the door angrily and slapped Wang Hao on the arm.
Wang Hao begged for mercy again and again, but was dragged into the cabin by Shi Jie without even closing the door.

"Yan Li noticed something was wrong and wanted to arrange for a group of people to escape first. I was also on the list."

While cursing loudly, Shi Jie dipped water into the teacup and wrote on the table.

"What do you need me to do?"

Wang Hao was also writing on the table while explaining why he was late.
