Chapter 1355 - 1356: Eyes Turn Red First
Chapter 1355: Chapter 1356: Eyes Turn Red FirstFortunately, Chiang Xiao wasn’t prone to motion sickness, otherwise it would have indeed been a challenge.
"Lady, I can only take you this far. Ahead, it’s off-limits. Didn’t you ask your brother to come pick you up?" The driver, an older man, stopped the car and looked at Chiang Xiao.
Chiang Xiao had paid two hundred yuan to hire his car to this place, where there were no public transportation lines. She used the excuse of coming to visit her brother. Once he knew she was the sister of a Border Defense Supervisor Guard, the uncle was quite courteous and enthusiastic, introducing her to the local customs and geography along the way.
"No, I wanted to..." give him a surprise.
She hadn’t finished her sentence when she saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance as a vehicle approached.
There wasn’t even a concrete road here—just dirt tracks that kicked up a lot of dust.
"It’s the Supervisor Guard’s car. Look at you, saying you didn’t ask your brother to come. Well, I’m relieved now. Otherwise, you’d have to walk half an hour from here to the outpost," the driver chuckled.

"Eh, eh." The driver looked at her doubtfully and drove off after turning the car around.
Wasn’t she here to see her brother? Why did this young man call her "sister-in-law"? Could she be the Supervisor Guard’s wife? So young?
As soon as the driver left, Gong Xinhe spoke with distress, "Sister-in-law, there’s still no word from Officer and the others! They won’t let us through! We all know what they’re thinking. Aren’t they just vying for the armory? Those bastards have been causing trouble just outside the border for so long, the neighboring troops have never managed to wipe them out. Now that they see we’ve done it, they want to come and take the spoils! We suspect they never really intended to
"Of course," Chiang Xiao replied, holding in high esteem and admiration for the border defense troops, she naturally wouldn’t begrudge them a bit of this water.
Shao Yingqiang’s lips were cracked, but upon drinking the water, he immediately perked up.
