"Stop talking. Come on."
Chiang Xiao looked toward the more desolate mountains and wilderness beyond the barbed wire fence, her gaze heavy.
"Sister-in-law," Gong Xinhe looked around cautiously and lowered his voice, "You go first. We're already preparing. By tomorrow night at the latest, we need to sneak across the border."
"Why didn't you all cross earlier?" Chiang Xiao glanced at him, somewhat puzzled.
Gong Xinhe's expression was serious as he said, "The relations between the two countries are in a sensitive period right now. The neighboring military is always on guard against us. They patrol this area from time to time just to keep an eye on us. We've just discovered this breakthrough point. For the past three days, Officer Wei has been negotiating with them, but their stance is they've already sent a platoon to search. They also claimed that if they can't find it, our crossing would be pointless."
"Bullshit." Chiang Xiao swore angrily.
