Siheyuan: Joined the Intelligence Department, my father is a national level

Chapter 322 1 Nothing Gained

You know, he had just interrogated that group of enemy spies today and found out that their so-called clues were hidden in the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

And at this moment, this book appeared in my hands without any warning. It was too much of a coincidence.

However, despite his doubts, Li Youquan decided to check it out first.

Under Honghong's expectant gaze, he turned the pages of the book, and the familiar words came into view. It was indeed a book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Li Youquan carefully flipped through a few pages and found that this was not a forged book, but a real ancient book.

"Is this a book that someone else doesn't want? It looks quite new. It's a shame to just throw it away."

Not knowing what he was thinking of, Li Youquan commented calmly, even though his heart was already filled with turmoil.

Honghong was still looking at him eagerly, so he could only put aside his doubts for the time being and close the book.

Li Youquan looked up at Honghong. Her face was full of pride and anticipation, as if she was waiting for him to praise her.

"Honghong has a good eye. This book is really good."

Li Youquan praised with a smile, while at the same time thinking about the origin of the book and the meaning behind it.

"I thought so too. This book looks very valuable. It would be a shame if it was just left there."

Honghong said proudly, with a satisfied smile on her face.

"What if someone accidentally lost it and comes back to look for it later?"

Looking at Honghong's proud little look, Li Youquan couldn't help but want to tease her.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the little red face immediately fell.

"Ah, then, what should I do? I've already taken it back."

Honghong seemed a little helpless at this time. Her face turned red with anxiety and she was about to cry.

Seeing Honghong's expression, Li Youquan knew that he had gone too far and quickly spoke to comfort her.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid. I'll go to your school tomorrow and ask. Maybe a teacher lost it. If not, then we can stay here and take a look ourselves."

Li Youquan's comfort finally calmed Honghong down.

At this moment, he had another consideration in his mind. Although he didn't know whether this book was related to the one that Matsushita Jiro and the others mentioned, he decided to put it away first.

After all, the appearance of this book is not accidental, perhaps there are some important clues hidden in it.

Honghong didn't realize that her brother was just teasing her. Now she finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face again.

When Li Youquan brought Honghong downstairs, Li Baomin saw the copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his hand at a glance.

He raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

"Where did you get this from?"

Li Youquan smiled and explained.

"Honghong found this on a bench at school. I think it's pretty good, so I plan to take it back to have a look."

When Li Youquan said this, his eyes fell on the book, and his mood was not right for a moment.

Hearing this, Li Baomin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him with a smile.

He seemed to notice the unusualness of the book, but didn't say much.

Li Youquan also knew that Li Baomin must have discovered something unusual, but not too many people could know about this, so he didn't say it out loud.

The father and son smiled at each other and continued walking forward.

However, when his gaze occasionally fell on the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the table, it became even deeper, as if he could penetrate the pages and glimpse the secrets within.

During this meal, except for the cheerful Li Huifen and the curious Honghong, the father and son each had their own thoughts and were silently savoring the taste of the food.

Their thoughts are like the dishes on the table, each with its own flavor, but difficult to describe.

After the meal, Li Baomin called Li Youquan to the study.

Honghong originally wanted to follow, but seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Li Huifen wisely hugged her and comforted her softly.

Honghong looked at Li Youquan aggrievedly, but Li Youquan could only smile and wave at her, signaling her not to follow.

He had already guessed what his father wanted to say when he called him into the study.

After entering the study, Li Youquan gently placed the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand on the desk.

He took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his inner tension.

I just opened my mouth, not knowing where to start.

"I heard that you recently captured a group of enemy spies."

Li Baomin asked straight to the point, and had no intention of beating around the bush with his son.

In particular, Li Baomin also noticed Li Youquan's pause just now, and obviously guessed that this matter involved many people.

"Does this book I got from your sister today involve any clues?"

As he said this, Li Baomin's gaze gradually became deeper.

Li Youquan did not avoid his father's question. He nodded slightly and his eyes fell on the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again.

His eyes became serious, as if he was thinking about something.

Then, Li Youquan told Li Baomin all the information he had obtained from the enemy spies.

"I have sent people to check inside the school, but this book suddenly appeared in front of me. I always think it is too much of a coincidence."

Li Youquan expressed his doubts.

After all, I just got the news in the afternoon, and I saw a book that met the requirements in the evening. It seemed a bit strange no matter how I thought about it.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence?"

After listening to Li Youquan's story, Li Baomin also felt that this incident was a bit too coincidental.

I just flipped through it roughly and there wasn't any big problem.

Thinking that I might have missed something just now, I began to read the book carefully.

He found that the book had different handwritings and annotations, and it was obvious that it had been circulated and studied by many people.

Both men knew that the book might contain important clues, but the clues were hidden too deeply to be easily found.

They flipped through the book page by page, trying to find some clues in it.

However, as time passed, the two of them still did not gain much.

Li Youquan couldn't help but lean back in his chair in annoyance and rubbed his eyes.

Seeing his son like this, Li Baomin smiled helplessly.

He knew that his son was not a big reader, and it was indeed difficult for him to find clues from the thick volume of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

But Li Baomin did not blame him. After all, finding clues is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Don't rush yet."

Li Baomin consoled him in a low voice, but his eyes showed determination.

"Maybe this isn't the one you're looking for. Let's look for it again."

With his father's consolation, Li Youquan gradually calmed down.
