The change of the transaction place made Red Scorpion’s gloomy eyes brim with an intimidating and ferocious look. Without looking at his two students, he stepped on the gas pedal, driving straight towards Kings Cross Street.
Boom. A pickup truck suddenly surpassed him and cut in front of him.
It was hard to tell whether the pickup truck driver had blocked Red Scorpion’s speeding car on purpose or not.
“G Wang, it’s your turn.” Smiling in the pickup truck, Xia Jinyuan informed other soldiers on this operation to surpass him. He seemed relaxed like he was in a car race.
Boom. Another pickup truck outran Red Scorpion’s car and then surpassed Xia Jinyuan...
Red Scorpion glanced at the pickup trucks that kept surpassing him with a poker-face. As he stepped on the gas pedal once again, he turned his car to the outermost lane, which was another road leading to Kings Cross Street.
Having successfully driven his enemy out of the shortcut, Xia Jinyuan stared in front sharply and headed towards Ye Jian’s location.
Men and women were still dancing and drinking crazily in the KTV. Nobody cared what sort of stealthy business was being conducted here. Even if they knew, they would not pay too much attention to it.
Because this was a place for drug dealing.
At 9:40 pm, Ye Jian, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes to the voice of Xia Jinyuan coming from her earpieces. “Are you scared? Or do you feel excited?”
“You know me, Captain Xia.” His voice had a soothing power, which instantly calmed down Ye Jian’s nerves. “Everything is well. We are being locked in a room on the fourth floor of a bar. I guess we are safe until midnight. But I’m not sure what will happen after midnight.”
Gao Yiyang was also resting with his eyes closed. When he heard Ye Jian speaking, he thought she was just uttering nonsense in her sleep.
But after listening to her words clearly, Gao Yiyang stood up abruptly. Dumbstruck, he gazed at Ye Jian.
Captain Xia? Who... Who was she talking to? How did she get in touch with people outside?
Gao Yiyang’s head was overwhelmed by a myriad of questions and felt a bit dizzy from standing up too fast. He saw Ye Jian smiling gently and speaking with someone at a moderate speed which made him wonder if he was hallucinating.
“Both of us are fine. The kidnappers are not very alert since we are just students. Proceed with your operation first. I can protect myself.” Within one hour or so after Ye Jian sent out her location, Xia Jinyuan arrived. He must have tried his best not to waste a single minute.
She knew he would come. She never doubted him.
When Xia Jinyuan heard his little fox’s innocent and calm voice, he realized that she was safe and sound. A warm smile appeared on his handsome but cold face. “Okay, wait for my good news. We will meet before midnight.”
He assured Ye Jian that he would meet her before any danger would bestow upon her.
A man’s promise inadvertently delivered in a time was as good as gold.
“If I can get myself out, you won’t have to come over,” Ye Jian answered, smiling with her bright and witty eyes. “It’s a rare opportunity for actual combat. I want to be a part of it.”
