Le Yao's heart sank. Clearly, Sang Ya suspected them. Had they walked right into the lion's den? She couldn't help but look at Nangong Jue: "Have we been exposed?"
“It’s uncertain, but we need to prepare for the worst.” Nangong Jue held Le Yao’s hand. “However, no matter what happens, your safety is the most important thing, understand?”
Le Yao wanted to say that she would stand with him through thick and thin, but in the end she just nodded. She wasn't strong enough, and if she really stayed, she would probably only be a hindrance. So, the best help she could give was to take good care of herself.
The car quickly left the bustling area and entered the mountains, where lush forests stretched out on both sides, and it was rare to see any signs of human habitation.
After driving for about two hours, the car went up a hillside.
“That’s…” Yue Yao suddenly pointed outside in surprise, “Those are poppies?” She was shocked to see such a large area of poppies for the first time.
“This is the Golden Triangle region, where the main industry is various kinds of drugs, and this place is one of the main opium poppy cultivation bases.” Nangong Jue glanced outside. “This is also Kun’s territory.”
Le Yao frowned: "Can't this place be destroyed? These things are causing a lot of harm."
“It’s difficult because here, these things are permitted by the government and even protected, and they’re also a major source of local tax revenue,” Nangong Jue sighed. “However, everyone has been working hard, and perhaps in the future, this place will be transformed.”
"Yes, I will." Le Yao nodded.
Just then, the car in front stopped because it had reached the gate and needed to be checked.
Sanya, who had gotten out of the car, walked over and smiled, saying, "Excuse me, you have to go through an inspection to get in."
"Sister Sangya, is all of this yours?" Le Yao stared wide-eyed in surprise. "Your house is so big! It seems like your house is richer than mine. Land is so expensive these days..."
Sangya smiled and said, "Yes, this entire mountain area belongs to my family."
“No wonder you don’t care about money when choosing a man. If I had that much money, I wouldn’t care either…” Le Yao suddenly realized something and quickly covered her mouth.
"What aren't you looking at? Hmm?" Nangong Jue's expression was rather unpleasant.
"It's nothing, I was just joking." Le Yao quickly went over and hugged Nangong Jue's arm. "Darling, I love you the most."
Sang Ya smiled, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
At this point, the inspection was completed and no abnormalities were found. So, the car was started again and soon arrived at the second inspection point.
"That's really tight-knit," Yue Yao couldn't help but exclaim.
Although it had already undergone one inspection, the second inspection was still very strict. Fortunately, there were no surprises, so the car drove in, passed through a gate, and entered the large courtyard at the back.
"My God, Sangya, what exactly does your family do?" Le Yao ran over and grabbed Sangya as soon as she got out of the car. "Your security guards even carry real guns."
“These aren’t security guards, they’re mercenaries.” Sanya laughed. “There’s nothing I can do; my family’s business is too risky.”
"I know there's a drug problem in the Golden Triangle, does that mean your family is too?"
Sanya nodded: "Yes."
"Oh my god!" Yue Yao exclaimed.
"What? Are you scared?" Sangya raised an eyebrow slightly.
