Zhao Yuegu was an early riser, a habit ingrained from his days in the village. But it wasn't until noon that he caught sight of Sun Ying, yawning and rushing over.

"Sorry, sorry, I overslept," Sun Ying said, clearly flustered. She knew she had broken her promise first.

Zhao Yuegu wasn't bothered. "How many young people get up early these days? Most sleep till noon, right?" he said. "Don't worry about it. The survey team from the second construction hasn't shown up yet."

He had already been in touch with Dong Qingqing; they were all staying at the same hotel, after all.

"Oh, that's a relief," Sun Ying replied.

"Come with me to buy some oil," Zhao Yuegu said.

"Sure."

Sun Ying's mood soured when she saw Zhao Yuegu fill up an oil barrel at the gas station. "Isn't filling the tank enough? Why do we need an extra barrel?"

"We're heading into the mountains."

"There's no gas station there?"

"If there was, would I be doing this?" Zhao Yuegu retorted.

Only after storing half a truck's worth of fuel did Zhao Yuegu leave the station, leaving the attendant bewildered by the luxury car's unusual fueling.

Zhao Yuegu was unfazed. After picking up some other necessities, he received a message from Dong Qingqing—the survey team had arrived. He met up with the mature and poised Dong Qingqing, who managed to look stylish in her practical mountain gear, and the rest of the survey team: Chang Xin, the team's standout member, and two men, Chen Yi and Xu Le.

As they prepared to head into the mountains, everyone hesitated when they saw Zhao Yuegu's Lamborghini Urus. Even Dong Qingqing couldn't hide her concern.

"Is this car really suitable for mountain roads?" she asked.

"The company that builds tractors won't let us down," Zhao Yuegu assured her confidently.

With Zhao Yuegu leading the way, Dong Qingqing and Chang Xin settled into the back seat, ready for the journey ahead.

The survey team's off-road vehicle was loaded with fuel, courtesy of Zhao Yuegu's preparation.

Dong Qingqing's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"It's my first time riding in such an expensive car, and to think it's for a mountain expedition."

On paved roads, Sun Ying took the wheel with ease.

But when it came to the mountain's rugged terrain, devoid of any roads, Zhao Yuegu was the one to drive.

In such remote areas, a driver's license was hardly a necessity.

After all, does a lack of a license stop anyone from operating a tractor in the fields?

Moreover, Zhao Yuegu was reluctant to let anyone else drive, fearing a mishap like tumbling into a ditch.

Taking a different route from their outward journey, Zhao Yuegu opted for a nearly straight line through the mountain.

"Following a straight path makes for a tougher route. Outside our village, it's a trail that no one else can find," he said with a grave tone.

He hadn't ventured out of the mountains often, but this path was the one he knew best.

The villagers had left many markers when they built the road themselves, and it was these markers that enabled Zhao Yuegu to navigate back to the village.
