80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

Chang Jingxiang knew Lin Yue would be unwilling, so he added something to her drink to promote sleep.

"Xiaoyue, you have no idea how important you are to me."

I can't let you take any more risks. Even if you blame me, it's okay. As long as you're safe, anything I do is worth it.

Leave this to me. I will expose their conspiracy and bring them all to justice. I will not give them any chance to harm you.

When Lin Yue woke up the next day, she found herself in a car speeding away. She thought it was a hallucination and closed her eyes again after a few seconds of stunned silence.

She stayed up too late last night and didn't sleep well, which is why she had such a dream. She should sleep a little longer.

"Xiaoyue, you're awake! Are you sleeping so well these days? The car was bumping around like this and you were still sleeping so soundly. I really envy you."

Unlike me, I'm always a light sleeper; the slightest noise keeps me awake, and I always have dark circles under my eyes.

"Don't disturb your sister, let her sleep a little longer. Can't you see she's still very sleepy?"

"Hey, you little brat, I've taken care of you for so long, and you've never been this nice to me. You're such an ungrateful wretch, what a waste of my time."

"How dare you say that? You're taking care of me? I'm the one taking care of you. You would have starved to death long ago without me. You're such a grown man and you can't even cook. It's shameful."

"Ah... God is really blind. How could He have given you such a foul mouth? You say things I don't like to hear. If I had known this would happen, I should have thrown you into a ravine."

"Tch, I wish I could. I won't starve without you, and I can do whatever I want. But you're different. You're greedy and lazy, and you'd starve yourself to death."

The two of them were talking back and forth, neither willing to give in. It sounded like they were arguing and bickering, but their words also contained unintentional concern and teasing.

Lin Yue didn't need to turn around to recognize who these two people were. She was certain she wasn't dreaming. She groggily opened her eyes and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Xiao Feng answered her first, "Sister, did she wake you up? If you're still sleepy, go back to sleep. We're going to be on the bus for several more hours anyway."

Lin Yue turned to look out the window. In the distance, white clouds stretched out and wisps of smoke rose from chimneys, indicating that they were far from the city. "Where are we going?"

Xiao Feng was about to answer when Bai Ling covered his mouth, saying, "When adults are talking, what are you doing, little brat, interrupting? You're just making yourself look bad."

Xiao Feng struggled for a few minutes to no avail, then simply gave up and leaned against Bai Ling.

Bai Ling didn't mind at all, and naturally let him lean on her, even shifting her body to find him a comfortable position.

"Didn't Chang Jingxiang tell you? He wanted us to go with you to the mountains to find treasure. He even gave me the treasure map, saying that there are many valuable things hidden there."

He also said that the terrain there was complex and the forests were dense, which would be a good opportunity to use your experience of gathering herbs in the mountains when you were a child. He added that once he finished dealing with things there, he would come and join us.

Bailing lied without batting an eye; it was a perfect excuse she had thought of all the way here, and Xiaoyue would definitely believe her.

She also agreed with Chang Jingxiang's idea. "If Lin Yue knew she was left alone, Xiaoyue, you'd be awake,"
