This was when people were most exhausted, yet they continued their interrogation without stopping. In the end, they had to torture Zhang's mother to find out where the village lord was.

He then led two teams, along with Huo Haojie and A-Kun, out to capture the mountain village.

They arrived at the outside of an abandoned courtyard, and after everyone dispersed, they slowly shrank back in.

The person inside the room is fast asleep.

Huo Haojie climbed through a gap at the back of the courtyard and opened the door for the police officers.

After that, they tiptoed toward the room where the snoring was taking place.

Yamamura-kun lived alone in one room, while the other three slept in another.

This mountain village lord is the youngest grandson of a mountain village family in R country. He came here at great risk because he was provoked by his older brothers and sisters. He is a spoiled brat, but he is also very sweet-talking and is well-liked by his elders. At home, his older brothers and sisters often tell him that he is a good-for-nothing. So when the family needed to come and recruit the Miao people, he volunteered to come.

However, their timing was unfortunate, coinciding with a festival when many people were traveling. So they planned to have someone from the Miao family accompany them in a couple of days when fewer people were around, to act as their mouth-sucking substitute.

Although they can speak some Mandarin, it would be best to have a Chinese person with them just in case.

I never expected that I would be arrested like this.

He was still in a daze when the captain handcuffed him.

The other three were in the same boat. The black market was already cold, and the courtyard had been uninhabited for a long time, so there was no firewood. Moreover, they were living there secretly, so even if there was firewood, they wouldn't dare to burn it. What if someone saw them? Wouldn't that cause a lot of trouble? It was better to be careful. The three of them wrapped themselves in blankets and huddled together to barely fall asleep.

Well, that's terrible. He had just fallen asleep when he was arrested by the Chinese police.

The police officers did not expect the operation to go so smoothly. They were prepared to sacrifice or be injured, but they did not expect to arrest them without losing a single soldier.

After searching the yard thoroughly, they found nothing useful except for the documents on Yamamura-kun, and then took him back.

And so, the night passed. By the time Huo Haojie and Akun returned to the courtyard, it was already dawn.

When they entered the house, they found that Wang Qun was already up and breakfast was ready. Huo Songhuai was sitting in the main room waiting for them.

"You're finally back! Come on, have some hot water and warm up."

Upon seeing them return, Wang Qun immediately poured them a glass of water.

After drinking water, they finally felt warm again; it had been a cold and tiring night.

The two rested on the kang (a heated brick bed) for a while until they warmed up, and then the four of them began to eat. While eating, they talked about what had happened that night. After eating, the two washed up briefly and went to bed.

Ruan Ruan woke up at around 9 o'clock. She learned from her parents that they had returned. After resting, she took out a map and started looking at it.

"Dad, with this much snow, it must be really inconvenient for Haocheng and the others to go out."

The family of three sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), chatting casually. Even though they had things to do, they weren't in a hurry, especially since it was snowing heavily outside.

"Yes, those children are suffering so much!" Looking at the heavy snow falling outside, Wang Qun felt sorry for the children.

"For soldiers, no matter how heavy the snow or how difficult the road ahead, they must arrive on time; it is their mission."

It wasn't that he wasn't worried; as an elder, he was also very worried. But Huo Haocheng had chosen this path, so he had to complete it. When he said he was going to join the army, the old man asked him if he knew the mission of a soldier.

Joining the army is not a game. Once you make the decision, from the moment you put on the uniform, you must live up to the country's expectations.

After thinking about it for a day, Huo Haocheng told his family that he still stood by his choice, so his family respected his decision.

Meanwhile, Huo Haocheng and his group were indeed trapped in the city due to the heavy snow, and the seaport where they had originally planned to board the ship was also frozen due to the heavy snow.

"Captain, what do we do now? People from Haikou say the port isn't frozen anymore, and it's not going to melt anytime soon. Plus, the snow is still falling, and judging by the weather, it's not going to stop today."

When Ge Xiaotian returned to the guesthouse from outside, he was soaked with snowmelt.

Hearing his words, Huo Haocheng closed his eyes and thought about a convenient route in his mind. He originally planned to board the ship today, sail at sea for a week, and arrive in M ​​country around the 8th. After resting for a day, he would be able to attend the meeting.

But they got stuck at the very first step.

"Did the staff who came over say when the ice would melt?" After thinking for a moment, he still asked. If the ice could be melted artificially in a short time, they could wait, but if it couldn't be melted within half a day, they would have to choose another route.

"I'm afraid there won't be any way today."

"Then we'll have to switch routes."

After saying that, he got up and walked out. When he arrived at Gu Wencheng's room, he saw that the door was open and that the Gu father and daughter were talking about the matter.

"Haocheng, you've come at the right time, come in quickly." Huo Haocheng had just reached the door when he saw him, and without waiting for him to speak, he let him in.

"Second Uncle, I came to tell you that someone from the port said it's frozen over, and we probably won't be able to leave today, so we need to find another way."

After Huo Haocheng went in, he didn't sit down and immediately explained his purpose. It was already past 8 o'clock, and if they didn't make a decision soon, they would have to stay in their rooms all day.

"Have you decided which route to take?" Gu Wencheng knew that changing routes was the best option, but the most important things were where to go, where to start, and whether they could make it in time.

“I’ve thought about it. We’ll go from here. It’s cold here too, but it hasn’t snowed yet. And if we set off now and drive straight there without stopping, we should arrive around 4 p.m. If you agree, we can call them now and have them make the arrangements. Then we’ll need to borrow a few vehicles from the military region to take us there.”

"Okay, let's do it your way. We'll pack our things now and leave in a bit."

After receiving consent, Huo Haocheng immediately went out to make a phone call. He called Ruan Chuanji directly to explain the situation. It would be much easier for him to arrange the rest than for them to call each person individually. In addition, he also needed to go back to his room to inform the others.

After receiving his call, Ruan Chuanji said he would make the arrangements, and after hanging up, he made two more calls.

After Huo Haocheng and his group packed their things and checked out, the car that was supposed to pick them up arrived.
