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

Old Qi looked Ling Wenchen up and down, who seemed to have suffered a great blow, and asked him in confusion,

"Didn't Yuyan say she wanted to talk to you about her pregnancy? Didn't she tell you?"

Ling Wenchen licked his dry lips.

"She didn't tell me. She seemed to have something to say to me before, but she never said it."

He wondered if he had done something wrong that made Jiang Yuyan suddenly become distant from him.

If she's pregnant and has someone she likes—

and many more!

Ling Wenchen regained his senses slightly and, recalling what Old Qi had just told him, his breath caught in his throat.

No! Don't overthink it.

Maybe he's just overthinking things; it's impossible.

"Old Qi, you just asked me why you entrusted Yu Yan to your care? And why did you tell me about her pregnancy?"

Ling Wenchen's heart trembled, but reason told him it was impossible.

But what if it really is?

Old Qi gave him a deep look, then turned his head, closed his eyes, and answered him with silence.

Ling Wenchen's breathing became heavy, and his whole body trembled.

"When did this happen?"

Thinking that ever since he arrived at the border, Jiang Yuyan always seemed to have something to say whenever she saw him, his hands clenched tightly.

"Did she discover it before she came to the border? If Old Qi knew about her physical condition, why did he still send her to such a dangerous place?"

At this moment, Ling Wenchen lost control of his temper and spoke without thinking.

Old Qi opened his eyes and glared at him fiercely.

"If you guys hadn't been so useless, she wouldn't have needed to travel this far."

"She said she wanted to talk to you, but now you're saying she hasn't contacted you. Did you do something here that offended her?"

With this outcome, how could his soft-hearted apprentice possibly go back on his word?

Ling Wenchen opened his mouth to refute, but then he thought of Jiang Yuyan's sudden distance from him and couldn't help but wonder if he had really done something wrong without realizing it.

Meanwhile, fierce fighting is taking place on the other side of the southern border.

The regimental commander ordered everyone to take the antidote pills before entering the secret passage.

The group walked for a long time but still hadn't reached the end of the secret passage, as if the road was endless and would never end.

Some people were having doubts and spoke in a low voice.

"Has something strange happened?"

He wondered if he was being led astray by ghosts, but people are very superstitious about ghosts and spirits these days.

The regimental commander continued to order his men to move forward.

However, the result was the same; it seemed like they could never reach the end of the secret passage.

The regimental commander glanced around with a serious expression, touched the markings they had made, and confirmed that they were indeed in the same spot.

They were clearly moving forward, yet they were always standing still.

If it wasn't the work of ghosts, then they must have fallen into a trap as soon as they entered the secret passage.

The regimental commander immediately took out the small bottle that Ling Wenchen had given him in advance, opened the cap, and secretly counted the numbers in his mind.

Once one minute is up, immediately put the cap back on and put the small bottle away again.

Keep everyone moving forward.

Unexpectedly, less than half an hour later, they finally saw a light ahead.

As they approached the finish line, the regimental commander gestured for everyone to stay put while he took two men to the exit to scout the situation.

"...Mr. Zhou has lost his temper again."

"Shut up and get to work, or we'll be the ones lying on the ground dead in a minute."

"I just can't accept it! Blackie was completely loyal to Mr. Zhou, and what happened? What does his injury have to do with Blackie?"

"If he hadn't run over there and been shot by the gun, it was the black guy who dragged him back."

"Now look what's happened, he came back and killed the black guy, what kind of terrifying person is that—"

Before the complainer could finish speaking, someone next to him tightly covered his mouth. He looked around and, finding no one else, breathed a sigh of relief.

He muttered under his breath, "Are you out of your mind? I told you not to say it, and you still dare to say it?"

"Hmph, I just came out and checked. He's fast asleep. This little noise won't wake him at all."

"Ugh—"

"Mmm—"

The regimental commander ordered his men to gag and tie up the two men, and then sent the rest of his men inside to continue searching for Qi Lao's apprentice.

The first room was empty.

Moving on to the next one, it was a place to sleep.

Why do I say that? Because besides a bed, there was no other furniture in the room.

The regimental commander was cautiously about to walk inside when he saw someone sleeping on the bed.

At that moment, someone grabbed him and whispered something in his ear.

The regimental commander glanced at the person on the bed, then quietly closed the door.

After thinking for a moment, he used a stick to block the door, so that it would take more effort for the person inside to get out.

Arrived at the laboratory.

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

"Commander, it's that nurse, she—"

"boom--"

Before they could finish speaking, a gun came flying at them, almost hitting them, but luckily they dodged quickly.

"Commander, that's no good. That woman has a wide firing range; there's no way to get close."

The regimental commander was trying to come up with a solution.

"Reporting to the commander, that nurse tried to run away, and it looks like she's carrying someone on her back—"

"Quick, two of you cover me! Hurry, don't let him get away—"

The group chased after her, and the nurse kept running until she reached the cave entrance, teetering on the edge of a cliff.

The regimental commander quickly stopped it.

"No, tell me what's wrong. Don't do anything foolish."

The power moves closer to the border.

Nurse Xiaoxiao glanced at them expressionlessly, then picked up the basket from her back and put it in her hand.

In front of everyone, he slowly lifted the basket onto the cliff edge, smiling defiantly.

"The woman you're looking for is in the basket."

"However, she won't exist for long."

The regimental commander frowned, his eyes fixed on her hand out of the corner of his eye.

"Comrade, what do you want? We'll agree to anything you ask, as long as you release Comrade Yanzi."

Nurse Xiaoxiao looked at them coldly, "I'll let her go if you move aside."

Move aside?

The opening here is only so big; it's a bit cramped for two people to stand together, so how can we make room for each other?

The regimental commander asked bluntly, "Where are we supposed to go? Besides your exit, the only other option is to retreat to the secret passage. Do you want us to re-arrest everyone in the secret passage?"

A dark glint flashed in Nurse Xiaoxiao's eyes. "I can return the person to you right now—"

A wicked smile slowly crept onto his face. "As long as—you can catch her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw the basket to the side with all her might, not caring whether Jiang Yuyan inside was alive or dead, and laughed wildly.

"Hey, wait a minute—" The regimental commander tried to run over to stop them, but he was too late.

Just as I was about to stick my head out to see if the basket had fallen or was stuck on it, I saw a hand gripping the edge of the basket tightly.

Even though his fingernails were almost torn off, he wouldn't let go.

"Brothers up there, you'd better grab them! Wait, I'll get the guys up there to help you right now."

"Commander, something's wrong! That nurse is trying to jump off a cliff! Grab her quickly!"
