America: The neighbor's wife is so incredibly hospitable!

"Then...sleep here?"

Katie, in a daze, stopped resisting, or rather, subconsciously she was looking forward to this scene of being "forced to stay".

The movie is still going on.

But the noise on the sofa gradually drowned out the sound of the movie.

Although they didn't actually go all the way to the final step because Katie, an "outsider," was present.

But that kind of ambiguity that flirts wildly at the edge of the line, like Jessica's hand secretly slipping inside her shirt.

For example, Sarah's passionate kiss and Chen An's seemingly unintentional yet skillful caresses of Katie made the night incredibly long and sultry.

Finally, Katie fainted.

I don't know if I was drunk or overwhelmed by the overwhelming hormonal scent.

When Chen An carried her to the guest room, she clung to him like a koala, muttering to herself:

"I want to...I want to make a dish that will eat you up..."

Chen An smiled and helped her cover herself with the blanket.

"Maybe next time. Let you ferment it tonight first."

………………

The next morning.

The tranquility of Titan Manor was broken by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

As Chen An came down from the second floor, he saw Tie Tou standing at the door with a stern expression, his tactical boots covered in snow and mud.

"Boss, something's happened."

Without saying a word, Tie Tou handed over a tablet computer.

"Our observation post on Highway 93 sent a message."

"Starting from early this morning, all heavy trucks attempting to enter our farm have been stopped."

"Who stopped them? The police?" Chen An frowned.

"No. They're from the Montana Transport Workers' Union. There are also a few guys who look like gangsters."

Tie Tou pointed at the photo on the screen.

On a road several kilometers away, several pickup trucks bearing union logos were parked across the middle of the road, with a sign next to them that read "Road Repair Ahead".

A group of people wearing yellow vests were pointing and gesturing at the driver of a truck loaded with cement.

"reason?"

"The reasons are varied. Some say it's to protect the permafrost layer by prohibiting heavy loads."

"Some say it was a routine safety check, while others say the driver's license had expired, even though it was just renewed last month."

Tie Tou gritted his teeth, "That truck was loaded with special cement we ordered, to be used to slab the bottom of the salt ponds."

"The driver was frightened by them and didn't dare to force his way through."

"Old Joe, that old fox."

Chen An sneered.

While the air corridor can transport high-value lithium salts, it is not suitable for transporting large quantities of low-value infrastructure materials.

We still have to rely on highways. Old Joe is trying to cut off his infrastructure and starve Titan Mining in its infancy.

"What if I also send my convoy to break through the checkpoint?" Chen An asked.

"We can rush in. But I'm afraid it might be a trap," Tie Tou analyzed.

"If bloodshed occurs, the union will use that as an excuse to request the state government to close the entire road."

"Then we'll truly be an isolated island."

Chen An nodded.

Although Iron Head is big, he's not stupid.

This was indeed Old Joe's plan: to provoke you first and make you make a mistake.

"Don't rush."

Chen An glanced out the window; it led towards the northern mountains.

"Since the front entrance is blocked, let's go through the back entrance."

"Back door?" Tie Tou asked, puzzled.

Grizzly Bear Tribe

Chen An smiled and said, "There's an old forest road on the Indian reservation that leads directly to the highway on the Canadian border, which conveniently bypasses the union-controlled area."

"Although the road conditions were a bit poor, it wasn't a problem for our Raptors and off-road trucks."

"and……"

Chen An remembered the request from the silver-haired young cook yesterday.

"I promised someone I'd teach her how to ride a snowmobile. Perfect timing, I'll go scout it out today."

………………

10:00 AM.

When Katie came out of the guest room rubbing her head, which looked like it was about to split open.

She was greeted by a professional snow camouflage outfit and a full-face helmet.

"Put them on."

Chen An was checking the fuel tanks of two Bombardier snowmobiles in the yard. "We're going on a 'spring outing' today."

"A spring outing? In this freezing weather?" Katie yawned, her memory of last night was a bit hazy.

All I remember is that it was a very hot, soft sofa, and... a man's embrace.

Her face flushed instantly at the thought.

"Don't want to go? Then stay home and help Sarah wash the dishes," Chen An challenged.

"Who said I wasn't going!"

Katie snatched the clothes from her. "I'm going to change right now!"

Ten minutes later.

Two snowmobiles roared out of the farm.

Instead of taking the main road, they chose to jump over the fence and rush into the forest that led to the reserve.

Speeding like lightning.

Chen An led the way, with Katie following closely behind.

Although she claimed to have a good sense of balance, she still became somewhat flustered when she actually got to this deep snow area.

I almost crashed into a tree several times, and I screamed in fright.

"stop!"

Chen An stopped on a hillside.

Katie, panting, pulled the car over to him, took off her helmet, revealing silver hair damp with sweat that clung to her cheeks.

"This is...this is so exciting!" she gasped for breath of the cold air. "It's even more exciting than making a soufflé!"

"It's not over yet."

Chen An pointed downwards.

Through the gaps in the trees, you can clearly see Highway 93, which has been blocked by the union.

A long line of cars was stuck in front of the checkpoint, where union members were inspecting the vehicles like bandits.

"That's..." Katie also noticed something was wrong.

"Those are the people who want to starve us to death."

Chen An said coldly, "Do you see clearly? In this world, some rules are meant to be followed, and some are meant to be broken."

"And those people are killing people with the rules."

He turned his head and looked at Katie.

"Katie, can you ride a horse?"

"I rode it on the farm when I was little... What's wrong?"

"Snowmobiles are actually the same as horses."

Chen An got into her car and sat behind her.

"Keep your waist flexible, but your hands firm. Sensing the undulations of the road surface, rather than fighting against it."

Chen An wrapped his arms around her waist and gripped the handlebars.

"Come on, let me show you what real 'off-roading' is all about."

"Wait...two people?" Katie panicked a little, her back pressed against that familiar chest again.

"Hold on tight."

Chen An didn't give her a chance to refuse and suddenly twisted the accelerator.

"boom--!"

The snowmobile, like a roaring snow leopard, suddenly charged down the hillside.

This time, we weren't on flat ground, but traversing through rugged forests.

Every leap, every sharp turn, made Katie scream, her body instinctively shrinking back, pressing tightly against Chen An's chest.

During this rapid and bumpy ride, the two people's bodies inevitably experienced various violent collisions and frictions.

"Slow...slow down!" Katie shouted, but her voice trembled with excitement.

"The boundary river of the reserve is just ahead."

Chen An shouted, "We have to fly there!"

Ahead, a small frozen river appeared, but the ice did not look solid.

"What?! Fly over?!"

"accelerate!"

Just as they were about to plunge into the valley, Chen An jerked the front of the car.

The snowmobiles took off.

For that one second of suspended time, time seemed to stand still.

Katie closed her eyes tightly and buried her head in Chen An's chest, smelling his reassuring scent.

"Bang!"

The tracks landed heavily on the snow on the opposite bank, kicking up a cloud of snow.

It landed smoothly.

"This is what you call...this is what you mean by private lessons?"

Katie, still shaken, gasped for breath and looked back at the river she had crossed.

I guess so.

Chen An released his grip and got out of the car. "Congratulations, we've now entered a lawless zone."

"That is, the new supply line we will be taking."
