Ye Jian was immediately relieved. They were indeed the Special Forces. They were fast and swift in their movements, and they immediately disguised themselves as the enemy after killing them and established contact with their comrades inside.
The lock began to make noises and the door opened slightly after a ‘click’ sound. “This is your gun from before. Keep it safe, my little comrade.” V8 smiled faintly as he passed the gun through the slit before shutting it again quickly. “15 rounds, no other magazines.”
A gun was good enough!
Ye Jian held the pistol and smiled. Before she even opened her mouth, she heard V8’s deep voice again. “Ye Jian, the first batch of hostages will be released at ten tonight… you’re not in the second batch either…, you will still be in the hands of the al-Qaeda even on the plane. Are you afraid?”
This was an arrangement. There was no way to change that. Ye Jian was here because she was supposed to protect the leader. But now… she was protecting Betty.
It was the duty of a soldier to go wherever they were needed.
Although Ye Jian was not in military attire, she was already a soldier in many people’s minds! A soldier had to fight until the end, even when everyone else has left.
Outside the door, V8 and T6’s faces went dark. In their hearts, they thought that it was cruel to a teenage girl like her. However, Q King was the one that proposed for Ye Jian to protect Betty.
The Head had hesitated but agreed to it in the end. For the country’s interest, Ye Jian could only choose to stay by Betty’s side until the end.
“I feel that your arrangements are the best arrangement. I will need to protect Betty. It is my duty. And I will do my best to protect Betty and keep her safe until she’s back with the President and his wife.”
Ye Jian was not sad at all and even thought that that was the best arrangement. They could hear it from her tone that she would definitely agree to any arrangement without objections.
She had learned to obey.
Hearing that, the two Xueyu unit members were surprised. Did she accept it just like that? Without a doubt? Without dissent?
“Rest assured, you won’t be fighting alone, and you won’t be alone in the plane with Betty.” T6 tried comforting Ye Jian so that she could feel more at ease. He also wanted to let her know that comrades would never give up on one another.
Ye Jian had already prepared to return to Betty’s side. Upon hearing that, she laughed softly, with a voice full of joy, “I know. Someone has to operate the plane. Since I’m on the plane, there will be our soldiers on the plane.”
“And there’s some distance from the orphanage and the airport. You have to leave by bus. I’m guessing that our forces are already hiding on the bus.”
Her voice was soft like a humming bug on a summer night, but her words were clear. Her reasoning also made V8 and T6 raise their eyebrows.
“If I’m not wrong, our Head had discussed this with the President, and will not let Pabel step out of the orphanage and will settle this directly inside.” Ye Jian leaned against the wooden door and slowly whispered in the evening breeze. “And I believe that the country will not abandon me, and I know that our country will not allow the al-Qaeda group to go rampant.”
