Jase, who had silently observed Soleil’s joke for a brief moment, suddenly copsed and lost consciousness, unable to handle the unexpected shock.


    Yosef quickly rushed to help the unconscious Jase, who had fallen to the ground. While shaking him gently, he eximed with exasperation, “Uncle, didn’t you think things through when you were talking to Aunt Soleil just now? What’s going on? It’s one thing to advise others, but it doesn’t apply to you…”


    Noticing Jase’s unconscious state, Soleil seemed to feel a slight relief from her despair.


    It was as if someone had leaped into an abyss with her, a familiar face amidst her hopelessness.


    This brought her a flicker offort in her heart.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    So, she spoke up to Yosef, “What’s the point of pressing so hard? You won’t revive him by squeezing his teeth out. Hurry and get some water!”


    Yosef nced at Hallie, who stood nearby, and shouted, “Go grab some water from the car! What are you waiting for?”


    Hallie, sensing the urgency, dashed back to the car, retrieved a bottle of water, and handed it to Yosef.


    Yosef then poured the water over Jase’s head and face, which jolted him awake.


    As soon as Jase opened his eyes, he cried out in anguish, “God doesn’t have eyes! You’re killing me!”


    Soleil shot him a cold look and said, “Let’s cut the nonsense. The priority right now is to make money; everything else can wait.”


    Without waiting for a response, she instructed Yosef, “Get the car going and let him rest in the back.”


    Yosef nodded quickly and helped Jase to his feet, saying, “Uncle, let’s get you on the bus.”<fn9e33> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? </fn9e33>


    Feeling defeated, Jase climbed into the car, and Yosef took the driver’s seat, starting the vehicle as they continued their journey toward the US-Mexico border.


    Once they were on the road, Soleil, sitting in the passenger seat, remarked coldly, “The more I think about this, the more I sense something is off.”


    Curious, Yosef asked, “Aunt Soleil, what do you think is wrong?”


    Soleil replied, “If it were just my family in trouble, it could be that some unidentified assets drew the police’s attention. But my son’s wife lives thousands of kilometers away. It doesn’t make sense for their family to have an ident. I suspect there’s an unavoidable link between the situations of both families.”


    From the backseat, Jase interjected, “Sister Soleil, are you suggesting that the police in China already know our true identities?!”


    For Wanlong Hall, if they could uncover information about Soleil, they could easily trace the background of everything.


    It’s worth noting that Jase is not his real name.


    Originally, he was known as Xu Jianxi. Unlike Soleil, he was tricked into northern Myanmar a few years ago to engage in fraudulent activities to make a living.


    However, his fondness for drinking over the years left him with a slower mental reaction and a clumsy tongue. Due to hisck of business acumen, he failed to make any money in northern Myanmar and was nearly killed.


    In fact, the boss in northern Myanmar once said, “This waste can’t create any value and only eats food. We must cut him off to recoup our costs.”


    At that time, he met Yosef, who was just 20 and also struggling in northern Myanmar. Fearing for their lives, they worked hard to escape from that hellish ce.


    After their escape, they were too afraid to return to China, so they found a way to smuggle themselves into the United States.


    Unlike Soleil, who had money to pay the smugglers, Xu Jianxi and Yosef had nothing when they fled. To escape, they were forced to sign a usury agreement with a ruthless smuggler.


    The cost of smuggling from northern Myanmar to the US was set at $15,000, but they had to pay back $30,000 in total, including interest.
