The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

Western border.

"I disagree!" Ling Wenchen said seriously.

"Ling Wenchen, do you know how urgent our time is right now? We've already located their hideout and found the new drug they're hiding, but the problem is, nobody knows if this new drug matches the one our military has announced."

Ling Wenchen's face darkened. "Commander, you should know the complexities of the border region. Luring the new drug developer here is their scheme. You should know they're crazy enough to want the new drug developer. If they find out—"

The commander on the other end of the line knew, of course, that there was something fishy going on, but the new drug was a very important matter that couldn't be overlooked, and it couldn't be sent over casually.

If there were a perfect solution, no one would want to send a pharmacist to the border.

However, in the entire Dragon Kingdom, only a handful of people could accurately analyze the components of the new drug.

Even more deadly is that one of the ingredients in the new medicine is very similar to a poisonous herb that has recently appeared on the border. The similarity is so great that even the smell is exactly the same.

The soldiers on the border would be perfectly capable of leading troops into battle without hesitation; they're just a bunch of roughnecks.

Asking them to analyze the ingredients of a new drug is more terrifying than sending them to war; a group of uncultured, roughnecks would be instantly scared away.

Ling Wenchen certainly understood.

The division commander on the phone sighed, "Wenchen, this new drug has appeared on both sides of the border. Even the border medics can't tell the real from the fake. If there's a way, do you think we want to send the pharmaceutical comrades over?"

Does this brat even know how worried the higher-ups are about the pharmaceutical team behind the new drug? And he still dares to argue with that?

"I'm telling you, Comrade Pharmaceutical has already set off. Her identity is special, so just think of her as the pharmaceutical apprentice, a junior comrade. But I'm telling you this because it's you. This junior comrade is very important, so you have to protect her safety, understand?"

"Not a single hair can be lost. She must come back safe and sound. Otherwise, not only will I not protect you, but even the higher-ups won't let you off the hook."

Ling Wenchen pondered,

What the division commander meant was that the new pharmaceutical comrade, though seemingly a junior apprentice, was no more useful than the pharmaceutical comrade.

Four days later, before the train even arrived at the train station, two military vehicles appeared, and more than a dozen border troops got out. Each of them was armed, and their sharp eyes swept over everyone. Everyone avoided them and dared not meet their gaze.

Ling Wenchen kept his eyes fixed on the train station exit, having heard that soldiers were escorting them.

However, when the train arrived and the crowd surged out, they still couldn't see anyone. After waiting for another ten minutes or so, just when Ling Wenchen thought the information was wrong, two soldiers finally came out of the empty exit and helped a person.

Upon seeing the pale face of the person holding his comrade, Ling Wenchen momentarily lost his mind and couldn't hear anything.

His expression froze for a moment. He wondered if he was hallucinating. Was he hallucinating because he missed her so much?

"...Deputy regimental commander? Deputy regimental commander?"

Ling Wenchen snapped out of his daze, looked again, and after confirming that what he was seeing was not a hallucination, he hurriedly ran over.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

As she spoke, she involuntarily took the help of the two soldiers who were supporting her, and asked softly.

Jiang Yuyan swallowed her nausea, waved her hand at him, and indicated that she was fine.

I really don't want to talk, afraid that I'll vomit if I do.

Damn, Jiang Yuyan never expected a train journey to take so long, so long that she had the illusion that it would never end.

The two soldiers who escorted her saluted Ling Wenchen.

"This is Comrade Jiang Yuyan, codename Yanzi. For the rest of the journey, please take care of Comrade Ling. The leader said that you must protect Comrade Yanzi."

Ling Wenchen nodded. Even without them saying anything, he would do his best to protect her.

After helping her into the car and getting into the driver's seat, I noticed she looked listless and was genuinely worried.

"Jade--"

"Ahem, Comrade Yanzi, why don't you take a rest first? Now that you're here, there's no need to rush."

It wasn't that he was unfamiliar with the place, but rather that at the border, it was best to reveal one's real name to anyone. Otherwise, you might not be able to get away with dying yourself, but you might be replaced without even knowing it.

Jiang Yuyan took a sip of warm water and suppressed the nausea that was rising in her throat before finally feeling alive again.

"No need, let's just go. The sooner we get to the base, the sooner we can get some rest."

After today, she finally understood how far the border was from everyone. Saying it was thousands of miles was too conservative; it was more like several thousand kilometers.

Jiang Yuyan was in a sleeper berth, but after several days and nights, even her best spirits were almost worn out.

Adding to her suffering was her pregnancy, which made her feel nauseous and vomit at the smell of everything. She felt like she was being tortured, constantly dizzy and unable to enjoy herself.

Ling Wenchen glanced at her, silently took off his coat, folded it, and placed it next to her head so she could lean on it and sleep for a while. He drove very steadily, so she could sleep peacefully.

He drove steadily, and to make Jiang Yuyan more comfortable, he not only drove steadily but also drove more than twice as slowly as usual, leaving the military vehicles following behind looking puzzled.

"...Wait, did something happen to the deputy commander? Why is he driving slower than a snail today?"

"Xiao Liu, why don't we go over and ask? If the deputy commander needs anything, we can help out."

Xiao Liu pointed irritably at the hand gesture revealed by the car in front, "Go ahead and ask if you dare, I don't."

Everyone in the border troops knows how formidable Deputy Regiment Commander Ling is.

Aside from his own abilities, his mouth was like it was laced with poison; no one could escape the chance to be stabbed by him.

That's fine, but who would dare make the same mistake while he was in charge?

Haha, they'll definitely make you train until you're skin and bones, and you'll have to stay up all night writing self-criticisms, the kind that are thousands of words long.

What should have been an hour and a half drive took a full three hours to reach the base.

After parking the car, Ling Wenchen looked at the person sleeping soundly next to him. Apart from looking pale, the person seemed to be fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Buckle up!

After waiting outside for a long time without seeing the deputy commander get off the bus, Xiao Liu cautiously and gently knocked on the window, silently asking if there was a problem with the deputy commander.

Ling Wenchen silently shook his head at him, indicating that they should go first, and he would bring people over later.

Although Xiao Liu and the others didn't understand why the deputy commander was doing this, he didn't say anything and nodded to do as he was told.

After they left, Ling Wenchen waited another five minutes, glancing at the gradually darkening sky outside. He knew that if he didn't wake Jiang Yuyan soon, she would easily catch a cold once it got dark and the temperature dropped.

Thinking of this, Ling Wenchen gently called out, "Yu, cough cough, Comrade Yanzi? Wake up, we've arrived."

Jiang Yuyan woke up without him calling her a few times. She vaguely saw him and then looked at the darkening sky outside, and immediately became fully awake.

"We're here? Can we eat now?" She was starving.
