Chapter 297 Plan Exploration
"I'm afraid these people are not coming for me, but are enemy agents."
Li Youquan pondered for a moment and finally expressed his greatest concern.
Bai Ling's expression also changed. She obviously also thought of the twists and turns involved.
If it is true as Li Youquan guessed, that the person who had contact with Xu Damao was indeed an enemy spy, then the whole situation would become complicated and serious.
This not only concerns personal safety, but may also involve important aspects of national security.
Although there is some discord between Li Youquan and Xu Damao now, and they have even fallen out, in the eyes of outsiders, they are still regarded as people in the same camp.
This relationship background undoubtedly adds more complexity and uncertainty to the entire incident.
Once Xu Damao is really involved with those enemy spies, then this problem will no longer be solved by simple personal grudges or misunderstandings.
It will involve national security, laws and regulations and more issues.
Both of them obviously thought of this, and their faces looked a little bad.
Li Youquan, in particular, wished he could drag Xu Damao out and beat him up again. What on earth was wrong with his brain that he dared to get involved with such a person?
"I heard from Lao Zhou that Xu Damao has been meeting those people near the department store these past two days."
Li Youquan frowned, with a hint of worry in his tone.
"I'm wondering if we should find an opportunity to investigate the specific situation?"
Li Youquan told Bai Ling his thoughts truthfully and asked for her opinion.
He knew that this matter needed to be handled with extreme caution. Any carelessness might alert the enemy and even bring about greater trouble.
"Do you want to find out their background first?"
Bai Ling understood Li Youquan's intention almost immediately, and she nodded slightly to show her agreement.
She also understood that the most important thing now was to find out the relationship between Xu Damao and those people, and what conspiracy they were planning.
Only in this way can we take appropriate measures to solve the problem while ensuring safety.
After some discussion, the two decided to take action immediately.
They knew that time was running out and that action had to be taken quickly to prevent the situation from getting worse.
As it was already quite late today, the flow of people near the department store had greatly decreased, and they judged that it was unlikely that the enemy agents would make contact at this time.
So, the two agreed to go and investigate near the department store during the day tomorrow.
Based on Li Youquan's understanding of the enemy spies, they would most likely choose to make contact when there was the most traffic in order to cover their tracks.
Therefore, the two decided to go to the vicinity of the department store at noon tomorrow, which is when the flow of people is the largest and when it is most likely to find clues.
Li Youquan did not mention this matter to anyone else. He was well aware of the seriousness of the matter. Once it was leaked, it might bring unpredictable consequences.
Therefore, he chose to keep it secret and only discussed the plan with Bai Ling.
Although Li Youquan and Bai Ling had tried their best to hide their whereabouts, Li Xiaoxuan, who had been paying close attention to their movements, was still able to keenly notice the little movements between the two.
Just when they met at the agreed time, Li Xiaoxuan appeared in the distance.
Her figure was so conspicuous in the sunlight that it was impossible to ignore her.
The moment Li Youquan and Bai Ling saw Li Xiaoxuan, their faces immediately became solemn.
They obviously don't want Li Xiaoxuan to be involved in this dispute that may be full of unknowns.
After all, they were just going there to find out the truth today. If they were to reveal their tracks anywhere, that group of people would probably become alert and hide completely.
It would not be so easy to lure these people out at that time.
"Brother Youquan, Sister Bailing, where are you two going?"
Li Xiaoxuan asked innocently, with curiosity glittering in her eyes.
She didn't seem to notice the tension between the two of them, nor did she realize what might be hidden behind it.
Bai Ling knew very well that if she didn't give Li Xiaoxuan a reasonable explanation, the little girl would definitely not let it go.
So she sighed helplessly and tried to respond in a relaxed tone.
"We plan to go shopping near the department store and see if there is anything new."
As soon as Li Xiaoxuan heard the word "department store", her eyes immediately brightened.
Her face was filled with anticipation and excitement, as if she couldn't wait to join in the shopping spree.
When Li Youquan sensed Li Xiaoxuan's emotional changes, he also had a bad feeling.
He tried to speak up to stop Li Xiaoxuan from joining, but before he could say anything, he was stared at by Li Xiaoxuan's bright eyes.
"I want to go shopping in the department store, too. Brother Youquan, why don't you take me with you? I promise I won't cause any trouble for you."
Li Xiaoxuan started to act coquettishly, and her pitiful appearance made people feel pity for her.
Faced with Li Xiaoxuan's constant nagging, Li Youquan and Bai Ling both felt helpless.
They knew that if they didn't bring Li Xiaoxuan along, the little girl would definitely keep pestering them.
However, when they thought about the real purpose of their trip, they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Although I tried to stay calm, the worry about the unknown still weighed on my heart like a huge rock.
"Why don't we take her with us today? After all, we're just going out for a stroll."
At this moment, Bai Ling suddenly broke the silence and looked at Li Youquan with a firm gaze.
Although her words were brief, the profound meaning contained in them was enough for Li Youquan to understand immediately.
Li Youquan almost immediately understood the intention behind Bai Ling's words.
He knew very well that this trip was not just a simple stroll, but had a more important purpose.
And the joining of Li Xiaoxuan may provide unexpected cover for their trip.
Looking at Li Xiaoxuan standing next to him, Li Youquan's resistance gradually dissipated.
Although this little girl was a little too naive, her presence undoubtedly added a layer of security to their plan.
Her innocence allows them to blend in better with the crowd and go unnoticed by their cunning opponents.
"Xiaoxuan, if you really want to go, then come with us today."
Li Youquan finally made up his mind. He looked into Li Xiaoxuan's eyes and said seriously.
"But you have to promise me that you won't get into conflicts with others. We have some things to deal with, and we can't make any mistakes."
Li Youquan's words surprised Li Xiaoxuan a little, but she quickly nodded to show that she understood.
Although she was curious about their mission, she didn't dare to ask more.
