Chapter 393: Clearing the Checkpoint

~8 min read 1,402 words

After several days of train travel, Chen Hong's group finally arrived in Lingnan, exhausted.

Huang Shanhe had already been waiting for them here according to the schedule.

After meeting, he took them to the guesthouse.

After a brief rest, he had a doctor examine everyone's physical condition.

Since no one showed signs of altitude sickness or any other symptoms, Huang Shanhe then prepared to let them clear customs to Gangdao.

Indeed, they would clear customs and travel overland directly.

Huang Shanhe did not intend to have them take a smuggling boat; although the risk was small, to be safe, it was better to clear customs and go by land.

In Gangdao, Yang Rong had already made arrangements; here on the Mainland, out of respect for Huang Shanhe, there were no problems either.

October 17, morning, clear.

Yang Qing arrived early at the checkpoint, looking at the land beyond the fence, and he still felt a bit sentimental.

A short hundred-meter distance, yet it was two worlds.

Chen Hong had a meatball on her back, held osmanthus in front, one hand carrying luggage, the other pulling Rou Dan, who in turn pulled Jia Xiao Fei.

She looked neat and tidy, having deliberately tidied up.

Huang Shanhe had done things thoroughly, letting them tidy up properly, and even sent a car to drop them off nearby.

After Chen Hong cleared the checkpoint, she anxiously looked across, hoping to see Yang Qing's silhouette.

Aside from a handsome man wearing a hat and sunglasses, she saw no one similar.

Upon seeing Chen Hong, Yang Qing waved his hands vigorously.

Chen Hong, however, acted as if she couldn't see him, looking around.

Because there was still a Yinglian checkpoint here, Yang Qing couldn't run over; he could only fret.

Chen Xueru held her son with one hand, carried a suitcase with the other, and bore a parcel; seeing the hat-and-sunglasses man, she felt he was very familiar.

"Is that Chen Hong's Yang Qing?"

Chen Hong looked over, not very confident.

"Is that Yang Qing? How handsome he is!"

Xu Huizhen also curiously looked at Yang Qing's attire.

"Gangdao is indeed different from us, and the clothing is different too; that's normal, we'll find out when we get there."

Upon reaching the Yinglian checkpoint, someone immediately questioned them.

"What do you do?"

Chen Xueru immediately replied.

"We are here to join relatives."

Compared to the others, she was the only one with some experience.

"These are our documents and proof."

The Chinese customs officer, after a glance, was ready to let them through, as someone had greeted them beforehand.

But sometimes, one inevitably encounters people who think they're hot stuff.

"Open your luggage; we need to inspect it."

The Chinese customs officer stepped over to explain.

"Dennis, someone has greeted them."

Dennis said disdainfully.

"Here, is it my say or yours? A greeting just lets them pass; it didn't say anything else, do you understand?"

No matter who passes here, Dennis feels he should extract a cut.

Chen Xueru hadn't expected to encounter such a thing.

Moreover, Huang Shanhe hadn't said they would encounter such a thing.

She glanced anxiously at Xu Huizhen, who also didn't understand these things.

She merely thought it was just procedure.

They had no choice but to open their luggage.

The others' luggage was nothing special, but when Dennis saw Chen Hong's medal and Chen Xueru's jadeite, he couldn't keep his hands off.

He couldn't understand the medal, fiddled with it a few times, then tossed it onto the table, where it bounced twice and fell to the floor.

Chen Hong gritted her teeth, bent down to pick it up, and painstakingly put it back in order.

The jadeite and Chen Xueru's silk underwear made Dennis's heart itch.

He grabbed a handful of jadeite and stuffed it into his pocket; that wasn't enough—he then picked up Chen Xueru's silk underwear and held it to his nose to smell.

At this, Chen Hong and the others could no longer restrain themselves.

"What are you doing?"

Dennis smelled a pleasant fragrance and said smugly.

"Let me see if you're hiding any contraband."

Saying that, he took another big sniff.

If Chen Hong weren't carrying a child, she would have struck him.

The Mainland checkpoint personnel saw the situation here and came over, a few people.

"Dennis, wipe that ugly look off your face; if you insult our compatriots again, we will regard it as a provocation."

Dennis, however, didn't care.

"Hey, this is our rule here; are you trying to rush the checkpoint?"

"In that case, I'll have to report the situation to your superiors."

Several soldiers didn't care at all about his threat.

"I think, occasional sparring between us would be more beneficial to our cooperation."

Saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to come over and beat him up.

Dennis knew it was about enough; if he went too far, the other side might really come over and beat him.

Domestically, they have repeatedly defeated Yingjiang's White Elephant, and military prestige is at its height.

Dennis really didn't dare to anger these people.

He threw down his things, gesturing for them to leave.

Chen Hong and the others were so angry they couldn't stand it, hastily did a bit of Household Chores, then got up and left.

Yang Qing, because his view was blocked, didn't know what had happened.

After Chen Hong came over, Yang Qing hurried to meet her.

"Wife, I miss you to death."

But unexpectedly, Chen Hong kicked him over with one foot.

"Thinking of your mother, you dog thing, haven't you seen us being bullied?"

Yang Qing then noticed Chen Xueru with red eyes.

He hurriedly got up and asked what had happened.

Chen Hong threw the child she was carrying and the luggage in her hands all onto him.

She muttered curses while recounting the whole incident.

Yang Qing's gaze instantly turned grim.

"This matter, I will give you an explanation."

"It's not good to make a move here at the gate."

At this moment, Chen Xueru had already opened the luggage, taken out those few pieces of underwear, and thrown them out.

"These foreign devils, what the hell are they, even more arrogant than when we were in Jingcheng."

"We defeated Yingjiang, so why hasn't anything changed now?"

Xu Huizhen didn't want to complicate things.

"Alright, there's no smooth road in the world; since we're on their turf, it's better to do less than more."

"Yang Qing, just swallow some anger, it's nothing; don't act rashly, or it'll be hard to manage."

Yang Qing gave a hehe laugh.

"It's fine, the foreign devils with background are hard to provoke, but this kind, the gate guards, are also not impossible to provoke."

He gave a grim glance at the gate, then led them to get in the car.

This grudge must be avenged.

If not avenged today, then tomorrow.

Going back, he'll ask around who's on duty today and whether they have any background.

If they have no background, we won't need to wait overnight to take revenge.

If they have background, we can keep taking revenge until they get what they deserve.

Rou Dan had never ridden in a car; as soon as he got in, he excitedly felt around everywhere.

He was excited beyond measure.

"Dad, is this ours?"

"So awesome."

Chattering nonstop, his mouth wouldn't quit.

Yang Qing rubbed his head.

"Call him Uncle Hui, it's impolite."

The four little brats started greeting Ahui.

"Uncle Hui, hello."

Ahui was at a loss.

"Be good."

He was driving, so he could only say it verbally.

Chen Hong got in the car and remained silent, still not having gotten over what just happened.

Her chest ached from anger.

Yang Qing looked at her and couldn't help but remind her.

"Wife, Gangdao here is different from where we're from; it's a mixed bag, and all sorts of things could happen."

"If you encounter something infuriating, you can feel that way, but don't just lash out."

"Here there are these rules; if you run into someone oblivious, you must contact me as soon as possible."

"I'll take care of the revenge for you; you don't need to do it yourselves."

Upon seeing Yang Qing's car, Chen Hong knew he was doing well.

Now Yang Qing's words made her feel as if she had returned to the old society.
