“Mr. President, if you can’t satisfy any of my demands, I won’t just kill your daughter. Many children will be burnt into ashes. They will accompany your daughter to heaven. As long as you are okay with this, we’ll do it immediately.”
Pabel never thought of using only Betty. She gathered the other children in the welfare center too. There were more than 50 children. She was confident that the President would relent.
If there were only Betty and Ye Jian, they would be able to save them after knowing their exact location. However, there were more than 50 children now. This was a serious problem.
K7 was hiding on a high ground overlooking the welfare center. He looked through his binoculars and said, “They have many people and weapons. Consider accepting their request. At the same time, ask them to free a portion of hostages. The vehicle isn’t big enough to contain all the children. It will be troublesome for them.”
He was a doctor so his words were short but to the point.
Very soon, the entire rescue plan was changed. The president held an emergency meeting and commanded the elites of all the relevant departments to form a rescue command team.
This was the biggest child kidnapping incident in Pakistan. Even though the children were all orphans and had no families, the Pakistan government wouldn’t give up on them.
The sun set. The Chinese army was involved too. They suggested that using weapons was not a good option. Besides Betty and Ye Jian, the other children inside were all very young. They didn’t know anything.
Time passed slowly. Many children got tired of crying and fell asleep. Only the older ones knew that they were in danger and didn’t dare to sleep.
Ye Jian, on the other hand, had already woken up from her sleep. She knew that she must maintain her stamina at all costs.
After sleeping for around two hours, it was around 8 pm now. Captain Xia and his team must be closing in on the welfare center now.
Suddenly, Ye Jian heard the call of a bird. It was the call of a common bird found in Pakistan.
No one sensed anything amiss. However, Ye Jian knew this was a signal from Captain Xia.
Two of them came. They needed to know her exact position.
The chirps of the birds were heard. Then, they slowly disappeared. It seemed as though the birds finally went back to their nest.
“9 o’clock direction. There are 52 hostages. Pass the weapons.”
The two members of the Xueyu unit got excited. They quickly moved towards their 9 o’clock direction.
In the room, Ye Jian covered Betty’s mouth and whispered, “Our men are here. Sit still quietly. Trust me. Very soon, all of us will be able to leave.”
Betty nodded. Ye Jian released her grip. “Don’t alarm the other children. Their cries will alert our opponents. I need to act proactively this time. No matter what happens, don’t scream. Understand?”
“No problem. Also, if you can give me a gun, I want to protect the children too.” Betty wasn’t a naive and innocent child. She knew how to use a gun too!
