Le Yao’s heart sank. Clearly, Sonya suspected them. This time, were they going deep into the tiger’S den? She couldn’t help but look at Nangong Jue. “Have we been exposed?”
“I’m not sure, but we need to prepare for the worst.” Nangong Jue held Le Yao’s hand. “However, no matter what we encounter, your safety is the most important. Do you understand?”
Le Yao wanted to say that she wanted to advance and retreat with him, but in the end, she only nodded. She was not strong enough. If she really stayed, she would probably only be a burden. Therefore, the best help she could do was to take good care of herself.
The car quickly left the bustling area and entered the mountainous area. On both sides were lush forests, and there were very few people.
After about two hours, the car went up a hill.
“That’s…” Le Yao suddenly pointed outside in surprise. “Are those poppies?” This was the first time she had seen poppies on such a large scale. She was simply too shocked.
“This is the Golden Triangle area. Its main industry is all kinds of drugs, and this place is one of the main planting bases for the opium poppy.” Nangong Jue glanced outside. “This is also Master Kun’s territory.”
Le Yao frowned. “Can’t this place be destroyed? These things are harmful.”
“It’S very difficult because here, these are allowed by the government. They’ll even be given protection. They’re also the main tax income here.” Nangong Jue sighed. “However, everyone has been working hard. Perhaps in the future, this place will be changed.”
‘Yes.” Le Yao nodded.
At this moment, the car in front stopped because they had reached the gate and needed to be checked.
Sonya, who was in front, had already gotten out of the car. She walked over and smiled. “I’m sorry, you have to be examined if you want to go in.”
“Sister Sonya, does all this belong to your family?” Le Yao’s eyes widened in surprise. “Your house is so big. I feel that your family is richer than mine. The land is very expensive now. .”
Sonya smiled. “Yes, this entire mountain area belongs to my family.”
“No wonder you don’t care about money when you’re looking for a man. If I had so much money, I wouldn’t care either…” Le Yao suddenly realized something and hurriedly covered her mouth.
“You wouldn’t care, huh?” Nangong Jue didn’t look too good.
“It’s nothing. I was just joking.” Le Yao hurriedly went over and hugged Nangong Jue’s arm. “Darling, I
love you the most.”
Sonya smiled, a look of disdain flashing across her eyes.
At this moment, the inspection was completed and there was nothing abnormal. Hence, the car started up again and soon arrived at the second checkpoint.
“It’S really strict.” Le Yao couldn’t help but sigh.
Although they had already gone through one inspection, the second was still very strict. Fortunately, there were still no accidents, so the car drove in, pa.s.sed a gate, and entered the large courtyard at the back.
“Oh my G.o.d, Sonya, what exactly does your family do?” Le Yao ran over and pulled Sonya as soon as she got out of the car. “Your security officers actually have real guns.”
“This isn’t a security officer. This is a mercenary.” Sonya smiled. “I have no choice. My family’s business is very dangerous.”
“I know that drugs are rampant in the Golden Triangle. Could it be that your family does that too?”
Sonya nodded. “Yes.”
“Oh my G.o.d,” Le Yao shouted.
“Why? Are you afraid?” Sonya raised her eyebrows slightly..
