Reborn 1980 Married to the toughest guy in the army

Chapter 2670 What secrets does Shen Du hold?

Shen Du glanced at her sideways and said arrogantly, "Where can you steal from?"

"Can we still steal the outside world?"

"Besides, the books here were all bought from outside. Even if the gold and silver jewelry here are worth something, you can't take them outside."

"So why should I worry?"

Jiang Wan was speechless for a moment. After all that fuss, it turned out that she herself was being petty.

So she took the keys from Shen Du's hand, waved her hand, and said, "Okay, thank you then."

After saying that, he took the keys, turned around, and left.

When Jiang Wan returned to her residence, Qiao Liancheng hurriedly looked over.

Jiang Wan silently opened her palm to him, and a key lay quietly inside.

Qiao Liancheng then realized that the plan must have been completed.

The two went about their business without much communication until they lay in bed together at night and began to whisper to each other.

Qiao Liancheng said, "What happened today? You don't look quite right."

Jiang Wan then told Qiao Liancheng about her conversation with Shen Du in the office that day.

After she finished speaking, Qiao Liancheng frowned and said, "According to Shen Du, his office only contains books, and even if there are documents, they are not important. So what exactly does the Qin Shi Huang of the rebels want?"

Jiang Wan said, "But I found some blueprints in Shen Du's office. He is developing a seabed exploration device."

"I must say, this kid is quite talented. He's made that seabed exploration device look pretty good. Whether he can actually make it is uncertain, but it seems like there shouldn't be too much of a problem."

Jiang Wan never expected Shen Du's talent.

So when she saw that blueprint, she was filled with shock.

Qiao Liancheng frowned and said, "Could it be that they are mining resources from the seabed?"

Jiang Wan asked, "Is there any support around here, down to the seabed?"

Qiao Liancheng said, "The seabed is rich in resources, but no one knows whether there are resources beneath our feet."

"Even if it's not under our feet, it's in the surrounding sea, and they can mine it with ease."

Jiang Wan asked, "What kinds of resources are usually found on the seabed?"

Qiao Liancheng said, "A lot."

"Oil will be the first to be affected, followed by some rare substances."

"As for whether there are mines for gold, silver, copper, and iron, it's all possible."

"You should know that this sea area was originally a continent. It gradually became an ocean."

"Since it's the mainland, it's not surprising that it has all kinds of resources."

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Wan fell silent. Yes, how could she have forgotten about this?

She pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's very likely that the things being mined are on this island."

"It shouldn't be outside the area of ​​Alcatraz."

Qiao Liancheng asked suspiciously, "Why would you think that?"

Jiang Wan said, "Think about it, since those people have gone to mine..."

"It must have been manual mining, and the process was very slow."

“These people went to work in the mines and never came back.”

"What is certain is that those who were mining did not leave the island. If they had left, Shen Du and his team could have easily recruited people from outside."

"Then find people in the surrounding villages to mine, and at worst we can just silence them."

"If all else fails, we can just bring some people over from abroad. Why use people from Devil's Island?"

"So I guess those resources are on Devil's Island."

Qiao Liancheng nodded: "No wonder those rebels have been eyeing Shen Du's things all this time."

The couple discussed it for a while, but didn't come to any decent conclusion. Both sides were shrouded in mystery, and they needed to explore the truth.

One night passed.

The next morning, Jiang Wan went to Shen Du's study and started flipping through books. She liked reading novels about domineering CEOs.

But it's clearly not here.

I then casually picked up a vernacular version of Dream of the Red Chamber; I have no idea where Shen Du got it from.

Jiang Wan flipped through the book casually, but didn't leave. She sat down on the floor in Shen Du's office and started reading.

Shen Du didn't come today. Around 11 a.m., I figured he wouldn't be coming.

Jiang Wan stood up, put the books on the shelf, and turned to leave.

Just then, the door opened, and Xiao Qi came in.

Xiao Qi noticed that Jiang Wan was the only person in the room.

He rushed forward, grabbed Jiang Wan's wrist, and whispered:

"Have you already contacted the rebels?"

Jiang Wan didn't know which faction Xiao Qi belonged to. Although he might be one of Shen Du's people, there was no guarantee that he might have a second identity.

Therefore, she could not answer his questions truthfully.

She frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Where are the rebels?"

"Didn't you say you'd help me find the rebels?"

"Why are you asking me now?"

Xiao Qi was taken aback, and frowned, saying, "Didn't Qin Shi Huang contact you?"

"That's not right, he clearly said he contacted you."

Jiang Wan blinked a few times, her eyes glazed over, thinking: Qin Shi Huang clearly stated that Xiao Jiu was sent to be my contact, so the two of them are obviously not on the same side.

If Xiaoqi were truly one of Qin Shi Huang's men, she wouldn't have asked such a stupid question.

So most likely, this guy was bluffing her, trying to get information out of her. He asked, even more confused:

"I haven't left here for the past few days, so even if he wanted to contact me, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the chance."

Xiaoqi was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Maybe I made a mistake."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to help you contact the rebels, but can you tell me what you want to see them about?"

Jiang Wan asked suspiciously, "I didn't need to see them for anything. Weren't they the ones looking for me?"

"They sent the message saying that the rebels wanted to see me, but then there was no further news."

Xiao Qi nodded to indicate that she understood, and then hurriedly left.

After he left, Jiang Wan stood up, looked around, and then began searching the house.

But no matter how hard they searched, even turning Shen Du's office upside down, they couldn't find the pattern that Qin Shi Huang had given her.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and Jiang Wan stopped moving instantly.

The door opened, and a person walked in from outside.

Jiang Wan looked closely; she had never seen this person before.

He stood at the doorway, glanced at Jiang Wan, and said in a low voice, "I'm here to clean, I hope it won't bother you."

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and said, "I know all the people who clean this room, and what are you doing here at this hour?"

The man seemed surprised to find someone in the house and tried to brush it off with a casual remark, but it seems he couldn't get away with it.

Seeing that Jiang Wan suspected him, he said, "Maybe I went to the wrong room."

He turned to leave.

Jiang Wan hurriedly shouted, "Help! Help! There's a thief here!"

The man froze for a moment, then turned and ran.

But after running only a few steps, a large number of people surged out from all directions and blocked his way.

Jiang Wan was stunned when those people suddenly appeared.
