My Scheming Little Devil

Ling Kong crossed his arms and glared at him: "Don’t give me that doubtful look. I was in the underworld before you even started out. The most important reason is that she is pregnant, I am a child, and our harmless appearance makes it easier to get the entry procedures done. With your looks and build, you obviously seem like an ordinary person, which raises too many suspicions."

On the plane, he had already arranged for people to help them enter the Su Family’s area.

After all, Nie Rong had collaborated with the Su Family for a long time on the weapons business, and still had many connections, so getting him and Ye Lu in was not too difficult.

In such areas, the vigilance against children and women is very low, and because they have a small population, there is a conscious system to protect women and children, allowing Ye Lu to enter under the guise of a mother with her child.

Feiyu was frustrated but agreed, thinking about it, this little guy is indeed the young master of the Ji Family, now in charge of many military arms operations, truly an influential figure.

He was indeed overthinking it.

"Even if you don’t take me, you must bring this to find him." Feiyu pulled out a photo and handed it to Ye Lu.

Ye Lu looked at the photo, greatly surprised, and instantly understood why Third Young Master Jun and his team managed to infiltrate with so many strangers.

It was indeed the simplest and least suspicious method; she had always thought such things only existed in movies.

She took the photo, thought for a moment, and solemnly said to Feiyu: "I hope you can keep this a secret from Lie Feng!"

...

She and Ling Kong entered the region under Su Family rule, which mainly stretched across mountainous terrains, indeed a natural barrier.

The main city in this area is Su City, accounting for half of the population, surrounded by farmlands planted with crops, and villages scattered about. There weren’t any usual crops like rice or wheat along the roads but fields of the beautiful yet terrifying Datura and Safflower, a vast expanse of blood-red under the blue sky, exceptionally vivid and eerily beautiful.

Ye Lu couldn’t help but reflect, the more beautiful and venomous something is, the more brightly colored and captivating it appears.

She and Ling Kong passed through numerous checkpoints and asked locals to drive them to the area where Third Young Master Jun had disappeared.

Near the downstream of the river, there was a village surrounded by fields of Datura; the villagers were all farmers.

Ye Lu and Ling Kong decided to stay here; they needed to search for Third Young Master Jun, as the area was vast and would take a substantial amount of time, perhaps more than a day. They thought it best to stay with a local farmer’s family in exchange for some money.

They also sought help from some young and strong men in the village.

Although the villagers cultivated Datura, their temperament was similar to that of people in mountainous areas, simple and hospitable. Ye Lu found them naive and simple-minded, not bad people, yet they cultivated plants that harmed many.

The villagers weren’t guarded against her and Ling Kong, mainly judging by her pregnant belly and Ling Kong’s cute appearance, they didn’t look like bad people. Moreover, Ye Lu, sobbing, claimed that her husband used to come here for small trade deals and recently went hunting in the forest but hadn’t returned, and she couldn’t contact him, so she and her son came to look for him.

The villagers were very sympathetic.

They didn’t even ask for money, promptly assigning a few men to assist them in their search.

Despite their enthusiasm, Ye Lu remained cautious, hesitating to show the photo for identification.
