Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 300 Taking Off the Mask

Xiu'er and Xiaoshuan gradually forgot their previous fears. They began to play freely in the valley, with smiles on their faces again.

Chu Tian felt a little comforted when he saw the two children's happy faces. He knew that they had finally found a place to settle down.

However, the peaceful life did not last long.

One night, Chu Tian was reading in his room when he suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.

He hurried out, opened the door, and saw a strange man standing at the door.

The man was of sturdy build, with fierce eyes, and exuded a strong murderous aura.

"Are you Chu Tian?" the man asked coldly.

Chu Tian looked at the man warily and nodded.

"Someone wants to see you," the man said, "Come with me."

Chu Tian had an ominous feeling in his heart, and he asked, "Who wants to see me?"

The man did not answer, but repeated coldly: "Come with me."

Chu Tian looked at Xiu'er and Xiaoshuan in the room, his heart full of worry. He didn't know who the man was, nor where he was going to take him, but he knew that he had to go.

"Dad..." Xiu'er and

When Xiaoshuan saw Chu Tian was about to leave, he screamed in fear.

Chu Tian patted the two children's heads comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, Dad will be back soon."

After saying that, he followed the man out of the cabin.

The man led Chu Tian through the valley and came to a hidden cave.

The cave was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

The man lit a torch, and the dim light illuminated the interior of the cave.

Chu Tian saw a tall man sitting in the cave. He had a mask on his face and his features could not be seen clearly.

"Are you Chu Tian?" The masked man's voice was low and hoarse.

Chu Tian nodded, "Who are you?"

The masked man did not answer, but asked: "Do you know why I want to see you?"

Chu Tian shook his head, "I don't know."

The masked man sneered, "You'll find out soon enough."

He stood up, walked in front of Chu Tian and took off his mask.

When Chu Tian saw the masked man’s face, he was stunned.

"You...you are..."

"Brother!" Chu Tian blurted out, looking at the man in front of him in disbelief. The man who took off his mask was his long-missing elder brother, Chu Feng!

Chu Feng was once the best hunter in the village. He was proficient in various hunting techniques and was a man of justice and generosity. Five years ago, Chu Feng suddenly left the village without a trace. Everyone thought he had met with an accident. Now, he appeared in front of Chu Tian in such a way that Chu Tian was filled with mixed feelings.

"Long time no see, brother." Chu Feng's voice was hoarse and low, as if covered with a layer of dust of time, completely different from the hearty laughter in his memory.

"Brother, where have you been all these years? Why..." Chu Tian asked anxiously. Thousands of words came to his mind, but he didn't know where to start.

Chu Feng waved his hand and interrupted him, "Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. I came to you because I have something important to tell you."

Chu Tian's heart sank. He had a feeling that the next words would not be good news. "What's the matter?"

"Do you still remember the reason why I left the village five years ago?" Chu Feng's eyes became sharp, like a sharp knife.

Chu Tian was slightly stunned. Five years ago, Chu Feng left very suddenly, leaving only a short letter, saying that he was going out to explore the world. Chu Feng never mentioned the specific reason.

"I joined an organization," Chu Feng said slowly, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his tone, "an organization you can't imagine."

Chu Tian's heartbeat began to accelerate. He vaguely felt that his elder brother's disappearance was inextricably linked to this mysterious organization.

"This organization is called 'Shadow'." Chu Feng's voice was low and hoarse, "Specializing in some...shady things."

"Something that cannot be exposed?" Chu Tian frowned, and a sense of uneasiness came to his mind.

"Assassination, kidnapping, intelligence trafficking..." Chu Feng's voice became lower and lower, as if he was having trouble speaking. "What we did were all illegal and disorderly."

Chu Tian's face turned pale. He could hardly believe that his beloved elder brother would be involved in such an organization.

"I wanted to leave, but..." Chu Feng smiled bitterly, "They won't let me go easily. I am controlled by them and have no choice."

"Control?" Chu Tian asked puzzledly.

"They got hold of my secret, a secret that could ruin my reputation." A trace of fear flashed across Chu Feng's eyes. "I have no choice but to obey their orders, otherwise..."

Chu Tian was silent. He didn't know what to say, nor did he know how to comfort his elder brother.

"I came to you this time because I want you to do me a favor." Chu Feng's voice was filled with a hint of pleading, "Only you can help me."

"What help?" Chu Tian asked.

"I want you to help me steal a document." Chu Feng's eyes became firm, "A document that can bring down 'Shadow'."

Chu Tian hesitated. He knew the danger of this matter, but he couldn't refuse his elder brother.

"Where is this document?" Chu Tian asked.

"In the headquarters of 'Shadow'," Chu Feng said, "a heavily guarded place."

Chu Tian took a deep breath and realized that he was about to be involved in a huge conspiracy.

"I promise you." Chu Tian said firmly. He knew that he had to help his elder brother and also had to expose the crimes of "Shadow".

"Thank you, brother." Chu Feng said gratefully, "I know this is dangerous, but this is our only chance."

In the next few days, Chu Feng told Chu Tian in detail about the organizational structure and headquarters of "Shadow" and taught him some techniques of infiltration and escape.

Chu Tian studied seriously. He knew that this operation concerned the fate of his elder brother and the lives of countless innocent people.

On a dark night, Chu Tian bid farewell to Xiu'er and Xiaoshuan and set out for the "Shadow" headquarters.

He didn't know what was waiting for him, but he knew that he had to complete the task, for his elder brother and for justice.

He sneaked all the way, avoiding the patrolling guards, and finally arrived at the core area of ​​the "Shadow" headquarters.

According to the information provided by Chu Feng, the document he was looking for was hidden in the office of the head of the headquarters.

Chu Tian carefully opened the office door, and in the faint moonlight, he saw a safe.

He knew that the file he was looking for was inside.

He tried to open the safe, but found that he needed a combination.

He looked around anxiously, hoping to find some clues.

Suddenly, he saw a photo on the desk.

The photo shows a young woman holding a baby in her arms.

The woman's face was filled with a happy smile and the baby was sleeping sweetly.

Chu Tian's heart trembled suddenly. He recognized the woman in the photo. She was his eldest brother's wife and also his sister-in-law.
