#Apologies for any OOC characterization; the characters won't be too out of character.
After the restart, the Iron Triangle enjoys a brief period of peace. But one day, a well-trained squad of shadow guards attacks them. By coincidence, this is also the day members of the Zhang family come to see Zhang Qiling. It all seems far too coincidental. Why this day in particular? What are they after, and why send people to their deaths? The shadow guards are all willing to die for their cause, but the sole survivor leaves behind a map. It turns out to be identical to the one in Chen Wenjin's notebook. What connection is there between the two? In the bottom-right corner of the map is Wu Sansheng's handwriting, pointing to a location in Mongolia. The Iron Triangle sets out on another expedition, this time accompanied by the Zhang family's elite. There are romantic pairings, Ping-Xie and Hei-Hua, but they won't feature much in the main plot. I'll write bonus chapters for anyone who wants them after the story is complete.
