I think I'll pass.

She'll think about how to tell him after this mission is completed.

After eating a little something to fill her stomach, Jiang Yuyan couldn't wait to run to the car to rest.

The road was a bumpy dirt track, and even if Ling Wenchen was a skilled driver, he would experience strong vibrations.

One day, as Jiang Yuyan sat down, she felt that her buttocks were no longer buttocks; her body had taken flight along with her soul.

Oh my god, this is so awful.

Jiang Yuyan jumped out of the car to stretch her body; her whole body was almost stiff from sitting.

"The East District and the South District are so far apart? It would take a whole day to drive there. No wonder you bring so many people with you when you go out."

Ling Wenchen told her to sit on the stone stool and warm herself by the fire to make herself more comfortable.

"Well, the East District and the South District sound like they're just two different directions, but to get to the South District, you have to go around those mountains and cross the sandy road."

Jiang Yuyan took the water he handed her, holding it in her hand. It was warm, but she still felt that Ling Wenchen was more meticulous than her in the small details.

"Isn't the East District closer to the city center? And the South District is closer to the mountains and fields, so what about their supplies? Do they still have to drive out to resupply?"

Ling Wenchen chuckled, surprised that she would enjoy hearing about these things.

"No, there are special vehicles that go out to buy supplies twice a week, so the people inside don't need to worry about food and lodging. At least there is enough food."

Jiang Yuyan frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

"You mean there will be a dedicated car going out to shop twice a week in the South District?"

Ling Wenchen nodded. "Yes, it's the regulation, everyone in the border troops knows it. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"I've always had a question: why would that person target the border? Knowing there are troops defending it, why would they go to the trouble of smuggling the new drug all the way from Beijing to this location for research?"

Jiang Yuyan looked at him, "If, and I mean if, the mole you're looking for isn't in Beijing, but on the border, wouldn't that make sense?"

Because they are more familiar with the border defenses and situation than those in the capital city of the Dragon Kingdom, and the border terrain is complex, making it less likely to be exposed.

If we do some research here, and use border guards for actual "drills," we can better understand the advantages and disadvantages of their new drugs.

Ling Wenchen fell silent immediately.

Thinking about Jiang Yuyan's words carefully, I think she might be telling the truth.

The military conducted a long investigation, checking even the drivers transporting the new drugs and all related personnel, but found no suspicious individuals.

If that person steals the new medicine and then runs to the border, not only will no one know, but they can also continue to cause trouble.

Jiang Yuyan had just finished eating and was about to stand up and stretch when Ling Wenchen suddenly tugged at her, pulling her into his arms.

Before she could even react to whether he was taking advantage of her, she saw Ling Wenchen look coldly into the distance, quickly pull out his gun, and fire in that direction.

"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang..."

"There's an ambush! Quick, cover us, take care of it swiftly, get in the car as soon as possible," Ling Wenchen calmly instructed.

He shielded Jiang Yuyan behind him, quickly led her toward the military vehicle, opened the passenger door, let her in, and closed the door.

"Find a safe place to stand, close your eyes and don't look. Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

Jiang Yuyan obediently did as she was told, lowering her head, closing her eyes, gripping the handle tightly, and keeping her ears open to any sounds outside.

Ling Wenchen got into the car, glanced back, stepped on the gas, and sped toward their hiding place. He opened the window, threw a bomb in their direction, and quickly retreated, with the other military vehicles following closely behind.

After driving several dozen miles further and confirming that no vehicles were following them, Ling Wenchen found a secluded spot to stop the car and let the vehicles behind him rest there.

"Yuyan, you can get some sleep. You can probably leave tomorrow. It's not convenient to drive on the mountain road at night. Don't worry, I'll keep watch. No one else will come."

Jiang Yuyan nodded, covered herself with her coat, and fell asleep instantly. If the road hadn't been so bumpy, she probably would have fallen asleep without a care in the world.

If Ling Wenchen can't wake her up then, he'll think something has happened to her, right?

"Deputy Commander, we checked those people just now. The weapons they had were all top-quality from over there. They're definitely the same group as before."

Unbeknownst to Jiang Yuyan, a group of people had been following her ever since she boarded the train. They even attempted to harm her midway through the journey, but were stopped by the two soldiers escorting her.

They had reported to Ling Wenchen during the handover that they would take down the entire group without alerting her.

I also learned from that group that they had been eyeing Mr. Qi for a long time, including everyone around him.

However, because Mr. Qi was heavily guarded, they had no way to make a move. Hearing that Jiang Yuyan was his most prized apprentice, they wanted to capture her and use her as leverage to threaten him.

"But something's strange. How did those other people get the news of our departure so quickly, besides our base?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately realized something, and their expressions changed.

Unexpectedly, there were spies among the rats in their base. They had barely left when that person passed on a message to them.

Ling Wenchen said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's leave this matter here for now. Let's travel more tomorrow and try to reach the South District before tomorrow. You should go and rest."

He had a vague sense of unease; if they didn't reach the South District by tomorrow, the others would probably seize this rare opportunity.

Back in the car, looking at Jiang Yuyan who was fast asleep, Ling Wenchen's anxious emotions gradually calmed down.

Come to think of it, he hasn't seen her for almost a month, has he?

In just over a month, when they met again, Ling Wenchen felt that there was a very long distance between them.

He could tell that Jiang Yuyan had something to say to him, but when he asked her what it was, she seemed unsure how to answer, which made him realize that it was a big deal.

It's as big as her considering his feelings and opinions.

Every time he gets a little closer to her, she accepts it but also seems to be struggling with something, not understanding why she suddenly distances herself from him.

Thinking about this, Ling Wenchen felt very frustrated.

He wanted to talk to Jiang Yuyan about his feelings after this matter was resolved, so that she would understand his intentions, regardless of whether she accepted him or not. He wanted her to know at least.

The next day.

When Jiang Yuyan woke up from her sleep, the car was already driving smoothly and quickly towards the South District.

It was already broad daylight.

Jiang Yuyan unconsciously touched the corner of her mouth. She hadn't drooled or anything, so thankfully she hadn't embarrassed herself.

"Where are we?" Green plants are gradually appearing outside, a stark contrast to the desolate scene of yesterday.

Ling Weichen chuckled, "We've reached the southern area. It'll be about another half hour before we arrive at the southern base. If you're hungry, you can take some biscuits from the small bag to tide you over."

Jiang Yuyan glanced at the dark circles under his eyes, said nothing, and obediently ate the biscuits.

More than twenty minutes later, they finally saw the large iron gate of the South Base.

Jiang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally arrived—

"Bang!"

"Boom—"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Military vehicles ahead have been destroyed. Proceed to provide support immediately!"
