Chapter 222 Stopped right after crossing the border
Li Qinghuai had heard Li Qingyang mention Yue Zimu before, and after thinking about it, he decided to tell her.
“Miss Song, I’ve heard my father mention that the reclusive Yue family rose to prominence in MD country a long time ago.”
Upon hearing this, Song Qianyi's eyes flashed with surprise, and she pondered to herself.
It turns out that Yue Zimu's family has this connection.
Song Qianyi nodded slightly and said to Li Qinghuai.
"Thank you for informing me, Young Master Li. This information might come in handy at a crucial moment."
Li Qinghuai nodded slightly and continued.
"Although the Yue family has been out of the public eye for many years, their roots in MD may still remain. Miss Song, if you encounter any problems in MD that you cannot solve, you may be able to seek help from the Yue family."
After sincerely thanking Li Qinghuai again, Song Qianyi hung up the phone.
Song Qianyi carefully studied the map of MD country, marked the approximate location of the mine and the risk areas that might be encountered along the way, and repeatedly discussed security details with Department Two to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Two days before her departure, Song Qianyi's phone suddenly rang.
She answered the phone, and Yue Zimu's gentle voice, tinged with concern, came from the other end.
"Miss Song, I heard you're about to go to MD country. That's a dangerous place. Are you all prepared?"
She was slightly taken aback. How did Yue Zimu know?
Suddenly, I realized that she had been recruiting people these past few days, and with Yue Zimu's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find out.
Although Song Qianyi was surprised by his good information network, she still responded truthfully.
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Yue. I am doing my best to prepare and hope the trip will go smoothly."
Yue Zimu smiled gently, her tone radiating confidence.
“Miss Song, I know you are decisive, but the complexity of MD country is far beyond imagination. To be honest, my Yue family made its fortune in MD country in its early years. Although we have gone into seclusion, our foundation still exists.”
"Many local forces have had dealings with the Yue family. If you encounter any difficulties on your journey, just contact me and I will do my best to help you."
Song Qianyi's heart stirred. Recalling what Li Qinghuai had said, she felt even more strongly that Yue Zimu's help might be indispensable.
She hesitated for a moment, then said.
“Young Master Yue, I appreciate your kindness. If you really need anything, I will certainly not hesitate to ask. I will remember this favor.”
Yuezi Mu laughed heartily.
"Miss Song, you flatter me. There's no need for personal feelings between us. I simply wish you all the best, and if there's an opportunity for cooperation in the future, we can work together to create a brilliant future. That would be the best reward."
After hanging up the phone, Song Qianyi's impression of Yue Zimu changed slightly.
In a foreign land, more help means more security, so there's no need to worry about anything else right now.
Song Qianyi saved Yue Zimu's contact information separately and listed it as an emergency contact.
Finally, Song Qianyi, along with Department 2, Hu Xiyu, and their carefully selected team, embarked on their journey to MD country.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the country, they were subjected to all sorts of difficulties by the local military and police under the pretext of routine checks.
Several military and police officers stopped their vehicle with serious expressions. The captain in the lead spoke in broken English and loudly demanded to see everyone's identification.
Song Qianyi signaled to her team members to remain calm and handed them the legal documents she had prepared beforehand.
The captain merely glanced at it casually, then tossed the documents aside, staring at Song Qianyi with hostility, muttering something in the local language.
Although I couldn't understand the specifics, I could clearly sense his ill intentions from his tone and expression.
Then he pointed to the trunk of the vehicle, indicating that a full inspection was needed.
Hu Xiyu's heart skipped a beat. She knew that the trunk contained some important equipment and supplies for the upcoming mine inspection. If they were maliciously seized by the military or police, the trip would be in serious trouble.
Sure enough, when the trunk was opened, the soldiers and police officers' eyes lit up instantly when they saw the professional equipment.
They started frantically searching through the items, occasionally picking up a few things as if they were studying them, while making up some nonsensical reasons, trying to keep them.
Seeing this, the second person stepped forward and argued with them in fluent local language, explaining that the equipment was only used for ordinary geological exploration and had no illegal purpose.
However, the military and police ignored them, and the two sides remained deadlocked.
At this moment, Hu Xiyu quietly approached Song Qianyi and whispered.
“Miss Qianyi, these guys are clearly trying to extort money from us. We need to think of a way to do it.”
Song Qianyi frowned slightly, her gaze quickly sweeping across the surroundings. She noticed a man who looked like a low-ranking military or police officer standing by, watching coldly.
