In a moment , Xu Yu knew very well that he had to treat Ye Jian as his comrade. With faith, comes hope!
Much unlike the International Police, who only felt hopelessly doomed as they realized that two students participating in the Science Olympiad contest had been kidnapped.
In their opinion, the kidnap would inevitably result in the loss of two lives.
There was no way to keep an incident from Director Li. Right now, Director Li and three other teachers were sitting in a room with ashened looks on their faces. “So now, is waiting all that we can do?”
Director Li inquired with the International Police.
“Yes, Sir, all we can do is wait,” said Bale, the hotel server, who was also an International Police. He gazed at Director Li, and his words were hopeless. “We can’t operate right away because Jian and the boy are in the hands of a very complicated criminal gang.”
Director Li felt dizzy. He must contact the embassy! Immediately!
Two Chinese students had fallen into the hands of a dangerous criminal gang and even the International Police seemed helpless! Could he trust them? No, he could only trust his own people!
Director Li got the phone number from the Chinese embassy when they provided reception for the twelve candidates representing China.
The Chinese military had already reached out to the embassy five minutes after Ye Jian was kidnapped.
Director Li made his phone call ten minutes after the kidnap incident and was told that the Chinese Military was already on the move. Standing during the phone call, Director Li finally lost strength in his knees and collapsed onto the bed.
Thank god! In a crucial moment , only his home country was trustworthy.
In the car, Gao Yiyang finally calmed down after struggling a bit. When he saw Ye Jian had also been kidnapped, he realized that struggling was futile.
The kidnappers were tall and strong foreign men. Their thick full beards made them look almost identical.
Disregarding the students they had kidnapped, they started chatting recklessly in a heavily-accented Australian English as soon as they got in the car. Thanks to their negligence, Gao Yiyang and Ye Jian could conveniently communicate in private.
Gao Yiyang moved closer to Ye Jian and tightened his lips. “Don’t be afraid, they are just after money.” He gently whispered in Chinese. “Don’t make any noise. If you want to cry, do so after they leave. Let’s see where they are taking us first.”
Although he had calmed down, he did not realize that this kidnap was not about money. However, as for someone who had been kidnapped before, surely it was understandable that he thought of it this way.
Ye Jian was impressed by his composure. It was uncommon to see a boy calm down just after struggling briefly.
“It will be suspicious if we are not frightened at all. It makes sense to cry a little after being kidnapped,” said Ye Jian in a low-pitched and tearful tone. Gao Yiyang couldn’t tell whether she was scared or not.
In the car, there were four kidnappers, including a driver and a man in the passenger seat who had been on the phone the whole time since he got in the car. None of them paid any attention to the two students, they were immersed in their conversations as soon as the door closed shut.
