Xia Jinyuan didn’t ask what Ye Jian felt after reading the detailed information of his future father-in-law. It was a personal question, after all. Even if he wanted to ask, he would have to ask after the mission was over.
Ye Jian, who was sitting next to him, closed her eyes while listening to the sounds of the transport plane. The two sat side by side. They kept bumping into each other when the transport plane jerked. The airflow outside was strong, so their journey was bumpy, even if they were buckled with seat belts. Ye Jian uncontrollably leaned toward Xia Jinyuan.
She secretly smelled the familiar fragrance from him.
With closed eyes, Xia Jinyuan whispered that only the two of them could hear, “You can sleep on my shoulder! It will be more comfortable. No one will say anything; it’s normal. Now we only have to cultivate our spirits so that we can perform our mission better later.”
Ye Jian opened her eyes and glanced at the man who made her feel safe and then obediently fell asleep with her head resting on his shoulder.
At the moment when Ye Jian used Xia Jinyuan’s broad shoulders as her pillow, a curve appeared on Xia Jinyuan’s mouth, “My Little Fox is getting more and more obedient. Not bad, I am very happy.”
He was serious a second before, but now he was cheeky again.
Ye Jian knew that he only dared to behave like that because all their comrades were resting with their eyes closed since it was rest time.
After a very long time, more and more sunlight shone into the cabin, and everything in the cabin seemed so quiet except for the buzzing of the plane’s motors.
The plane passed through the sunlight. Time gradually ticked by, and then night fell, leaving only a few dim control lights in the cabin.
Ye Jian slowly opened her eyes.
As night came, it was time for them to get off the plane.
“Q King! We are about to reach the destination.” A voice broke the silence in the headset. It was the transport plane captain.
Almost at the same time, all members of the Elite Platoon opened their eyes. Their gazes seemed so sharp as if they had never fallen asleep.
They all did fall asleep, though. In fact, they were deeply asleep all day long.
Xia Jinyuan tightened his throat, and a cold voice spread to everyone’s headset, “Everyone, tidy up your outfits, change clothes and get ready. We are here now as investigation reporters from a Chinese TV station based in Mogadishu. And now we’ll have to transfer and leave this place.”
“Yes!” An orderly voice came. Seat belts were loosened, and everyone quickly changed their clothes.
Ye Jian did the same. The cabin was dim. She took off her vest and boxer shorts. No one took a second look. The special forces were in their preparation mode, and there was no difference between men and women.
Ten minutes later, the transport plane landed at the destination. This was the military airport of China’s allied country. The transport plane was docked as an exhibition plane.
When the transport plane landed, Ye Jian saw another similar strategic transport plane but with “Airdrop Aid” written in English on the fuselage. They could use that plane to go to their final destination. It was also donated by their allied country.
“Quick, transfer the supplies!”
Following Xia Jinyuan’s order, all the team members, including the transport captain and deputy captain, were dispatched to quickly transfer the delivered materials.
Because Ye Jian was late, she didn’t know what supplies were on the transport plane. When she saw an off-road jeep disguised as a TV station news report, she was dumbfounded.
…They even transported a car!
