“Very well, tell Mr. President that I will release the second batch of hostages when I arrive at the airport and the third batch when I board the plane. Only Miss Betty and the Chinese student will stay behind.” Pabel didn’t lower her guard and stayed vigilant. She continued to use her hostages as a chip for her life and once again, proposed her conditions.
The President was already waiting at the airport. After learning that, he still had that one condition. To release all the hostages after the requirements were all met!
As such, Pabel was more aware of the importance of her hostages.
Qin Xiu was responsible for translating for the Chinese side. His voice was transmitted through the cold communication equipment to the military earpieces via radio waves. “Pabel says that the second batch of hostages will be left in the room. To ensure the safety of the hostages, the President told Pabel that he has only one condition, which is to release all the hostages.”
Qin Xiu translated the President’s words one by one. “The Head and the presidential palace have proposed that the Chinese team cooperate with the Pakistani forces to execute the mission and end it before the plane takes off.”
Qin Xiu’s voice was very calm. From time to time, he would glance at the plane on the runway. In about an hour’s time, the last batch of hostages would arrive at the airport, but it was impossible for Ye Jian to be released.
Breathing gently, Qin Xiu put one hand into his pocket as he rested. His handsome face was a little cold.
It was eleven minutes past ten and Pabel appeared to have agreed to the President’s request. However, before she entered the car, she commanded the remaining al-Qaeda members in a ruthless manner, “Go according to the original plan. Burn the place down when you leave. No one shall escape!”
She didn’t plan on releasing the children from the orphanage because they had all seen the faces of the al-Qaeda members. If they became wanted when their faces were exposed, they would be punished even if they returned.
And it was impossible for those members to survive. They had no other choice but to die there.
They were willing to do so, to sacrifice their lives for the organization.
The room where the children were held in once again had their doors opened. A bright light flashed past and Ye Jian saw two men in gray robes walking over. “Hide your pistol well. Give me your hands, quick.”
It was V8 and T6. To prevent others from discovering Ye Jian’s pistol and traces that the room had been compromised, they took the initiative to bring Ye Jian and Betty out.
She saw that Pabel was on the bus while Ye Jian’s and Betty’s arms were tied up again and forced up the bus with guns pointed at their backs.
“Let them sit in seats in front,” Pabel instructed coldly. “Watch them. They’re our chips to leave this place. Without them, everyone will be buried together with Chetivorokov!”
Betty did not speak to Pabel again. The children on the bus were all sitting near the windows and everyone had an armed al-Qaeda member sitting next to them. If anything happened outside, all the hostages would be killed.
It was a bumpy ride. When the bus came to a sharp corner, the man standing beside Ye Jian suddenly grabbed her arm with both hands and drew a letter ‘V’ lightly with his finger.
It was V8 in disguise!
Ye Jian had thought that they stayed in the orphanage. Turns out that they were right beside them. Next, Ye Jian learned that there were four Xueyu unit members on the bus. Among them was... Xia Jinyuan!
