NovelEnglish"Undercover?" Gregory seemed surprised and furrowed his brows, asking, "Do you know his badge number?" | paused for a moment, shook my head slightly, and replied, "I only know that his name is Chandler Copper. | don't know anything else." Upon hearing this, he nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I'll figure out a way to get him out as soon as possible.
You be careful too." | hummed lightly and noticed Rebecca nearby. Concerned that staying here for too long might arouse suspicion, | looked at Gregory and advised, "Lucas is quite vigilant, so don't linger around here for too long. You should go back quickly and protect yourself." He nodded and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Ms. Scott, your...".
Seeing him struggle to speak, | inquired, "What's the matter? Is there something else?" He looked at me and said, "Your mother and the others are all doing well." | was momentarily surprised. | nodded slightly and smiled, "I'm glad they're fine. Thank you for letting me know." After saying that, | was about to leave with Rebecca when he called me back. "Ms. Scott, don't you want to ask about how the others are doing?" | furrowed my brows slightly, wondering who he meant by ‘the others’.
He still appeared hesitant to speak as | looked at him. | could tell he was referring to Idris.
Was he okay? What was the point of asking now? Idris and | have already gone our separate ways, pursuing our own paths.

There was no longer a need to dwell on it.
| sighed softly and smiled at him. "Not really. Take care of yourself. I'm leaving." "Ms. Scott, he's come to the border." Just as | turned to leave, Gregory's urgent voice reached my ears.
| froze in place, my hand involuntarily clenched into a fist.
Idris had also come to the border? What was he doing here? | turned to look at Gregory, my brows furrowing, but I did not respond yet.
Gregory continued, "After he left the open sea that day, he didn't return to the country. He's been searching for you at the border, knowing that you didn't want to see him. So today, he sent me. Ms. Scott, why must both parties suffer to make a point? Clearly, all you need to do is tell him that you came to the border out of necessity, that you want Lucas dead more than anyone, and that you're here to ensure justice is served. Why resort to hurting the one you love and facing this alone?" Struck by Gregory's words, | felt a heavy discomfort in my chest. Yet, thinking about Alice's pregnancy, | took a deep breath and said to him, "Officer Long, | didn't come to the border out of necessity. | came here voluntarily.
Also, you mentioned ‘the one | love’, but | don't have such a person anymore. If he had truly come to the border, please tell him that | don't need him to do anything for me. I've chosen to do what | want, and he doesn't need to take risks for me. I've let go of him. Please just tell him to cherish the people around him." Without waiting for Gregory to respond, | returned to the courtyard with Rebecca.

| learned from Rebecca that these poppies were to be transported to Sutton Mountain, which was sixty miles away from here, for processing. Since there was a substantial amount of goods, Lucas would accompany the shipment.
Those who had been guarding the mountains would also go with them, leaving only a few people behind.
Upon receiving this information, my first thought was to seize the opportunity to rescue Chandler. It might not be too difficult if Gregory and | provided special assistance.
| contacted the peddler through Rebecca, asking him to arrange a meeting for me and Gregory. Gregory thought it was a good opportunity and agreed.
Together, we planned that after the poppies from the mountains were transported out, | would find a way to rescue Chandler from the, secret? room .During this time they had been exploring the areas outside the mountains and had located weaker sections of the electric fence.
