Chapter 339 Firm
Li Youquan did not devote too much energy to Yi Zhonghai's affairs. His mind was always focused on those hidden enemy spies.
During this period, all the intelligence processing staff worked overtime, like peeling off a cocoon, to uncover the secrets hidden by the enemy spies one by one, ensuring that nothing was missed.
After everything was settled and confirmed that there were no omissions, Li Youquan turned his attention to the mysterious treasure they mentioned.
He knew very well that this was not only a treasure hunt, but also a verification and reward for his past efforts.
To this end, Li Youquan quickly and carefully arranged several capable subordinates to accompany him. Each of them was highly skilled, loyal and reliable, and was an indispensable partner in this expedition.
However, when Bai Ling and Li Xiaoxuan learned the news, they found Li Youquan almost at the same time, with longing and expectation in their eyes, expressing their strong desire to go together.
Faced with the pleas of the two girls, Li Youquan fell into deep thought for a moment, feeling mixed emotions and unable to make a decision.
"You clearly promised me before that you would take me with you on this operation."
Bai Ling's words interrupted Li Youquan's thoughts. Her eyes were firm and persistent. It was obvious that she had made full preparations for this expedition and did not give Li Youquan any reason to refuse.
When she learned the news, she was already prepared to go together, and naturally would not give Li Youquan a chance to refuse.
Li Youquan looked at Bai Ling's resolute face, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He sighed helplessly and turned to look at Li Xiaoxuan, who was standing aside with a look of grievance on her face.
This little girl always seems to be able to bring people unexpected "surprises" at critical moments.
"Why are you joining in the fun?"
There was a hint of blame and helplessness in Li Youquan's tone.
He knew Li Xiaoxuan's personality very well. Once a decision was made, it would be difficult to change it, let alone an adventure journey full of unknowns and dangers.
But she is a delicate young lady. It would be fine if she went to other places, but she had to go to such deep mountains and forests.
He couldn't even imagine, if they really brought Li Xiaoxuan along, whether they were going out on a mission or to take care of the little girl.
However, Li Xiaoxuan met Li Youquan's gaze without flinching, her little face full of determination and expectation.
"You said last time that you would take me with you next time if you had the chance. Also, I specifically asked around and found out that this mission isn't too dangerous."
Although there was a hint of guilt in her tone, it was quickly replaced by determination.
In fact, even Bai Ling couldn't help but feel doubtful after hearing what Li Xiaoxuan said.
She was fully aware of the difficulty and complexity of this task, and it was a big challenge even for herself.
Can Li Xiaoxuan, a girl who is usually spoiled, really adapt to the environment in the deep mountains and forests?
She also knew that this mission had another layer of danger. If she faced those enemy spies head-on, it would probably be a fierce battle.
Li Youquan obviously shared the same concerns as Bai Ling, so he did not give an affirmative answer immediately, but faced this proposal with a thoughtful attitude.
He believed in Bai Ling's ability and knew that she could handle these difficulties.
But if the same thing happened to Li Xiaoxuan, I'm afraid the effect would not be the same.
"I understand that this mission may not seem to contain great risks, but have you carefully inquired about the destination we are about to go to? The complex environment and harsh conditions of that mountain forest are far beyond your imagination. Are you sure you can withstand such a test?"
"Although according to our intelligence, no other enemy agents know this news, but what if? If we really run into them, should we carry out the mission or protect you?"
Li Youquan's words revealed obvious uneasiness and worry. His words not only showed his concern for Li Xiaoxuan, but also his consideration for the overall safety of the team.
He was afraid that Li Xiaoxuan would make an irrational decision on impulse, and he was also worried that her joining would bring unnecessary risks and troubles to the entire trip.
It was also to dissuade her from the idea that Li Youquan spoke very harshly this time.
These words were like a heavy hammer, instantly hitting Li Xiaoxuan's heart.
She stood there, as if frozen in place, with tears glistening in her eyes.
In fact, she did not have a deep understanding of the details of this mission, but relying on her trust in Li Youquan and a vague intuition, she decided to follow him on this unknown journey.
However, facing Li Youquan's straightforward and harsh questioning at this moment, she finally began to realize the difficulty of this task and the difficulties she might face.
However, just when everyone thought Li Xiaoxuan would back down, her eyes suddenly became firm.
It was a power that could not be described in words, as if there was a powerful force deep in her heart supporting her.
She took a deep breath and spoke in a trembling but firm voice.
"I...I can adapt. Please believe me, I will try my best to overcome all difficulties."
Although the little girl's voice was a little stuttering, her determination was so strong that even Li Youquan and Bai Ling were moved.
They looked at Li Xiaoxuan's eyes full of determination, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
Should I continue to stick to my position, or choose to believe her and give her a chance to prove herself?
This question caused the three people to fall into silence, and the whole space seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure.
No one knew how much time had passed, but Li Youquan kept giving Bai Ling looks that were clearly a cry for help.
Bai Ling also knew that the two girls could communicate better, so she nodded imperceptibly.
"Xiaoxuan, can you share with me why you are so determined to carry out this mission with us?"
During this quiet time, Bai Ling's voice was like the warm spring sun, gently caressing Li Xiaoxuan's originally uneasy heart.
Her tone was full of understanding and care, like a gentle spring breeze, gradually dispelling the anxiety and uneasiness in Li Xiaoxuan's heart.
Seeing this, Li Youquan knew Bai Ling's intention very well, so he chose to remain silent and give them enough space to talk.
He knew very well that Bai Ling must have her own considerations and plans, and all he needed to do was to give her the most firm support.
Li Xiaoxuan did not respond immediately, but stood there quietly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.
She seemed to be thinking, and seemed to be organizing her thoughts.
