Mogadishu’s internal strife wasn’t something the Elite Platoon could put their hands in; now that they had managed to save the four scientists, no matter how chaotic the situation outside was, it had nothing to do with them.
The black of night slowly faded away; after walking for an hour and a half, they could see the figures that were three meters away from them. The special forces soldiers of the Elite Platoon were on alert and surrounded the four scientists in the center; ahead of them, Lin Feng raised his hand and was knocking on the metal gates of a bakery.
They have already arrived at the location where they were meeting Supa.
Supa, inside the bakery, had been waiting for Lin Feng the entire time; hearing that the sounds of knocking were quite clean, he jumped off fabric sofa that had a showy woven carpet laid on top of it, at the same time, he grabbed the handgun he had stuck between the sofa seats, and slowly made his way to the door while on alert.
He asked in Somali, “Who’s there?”
“It’s me.” Lin Feng heard his voice; his slightly exhausted face showed relaxation as they finally managed to find him.
They could hear the door unlocking from inside, then the sound of iron chains rattling as they moved, the metal gate was opened, Supa appeared in front of Lin Feng, at the same time, his eyes also scanned the outside.
There wasn’t anybody outside, only his brother standing alone.
Lin Feng whispered: “This is where you hide; I didn’t let them come here.”
He had also considered the identities of the four scientists; neither did he really dare to bring them before Supa’s eyes just like that.
The hidden Chief Engineer Fu’s hands gently gripped together; this was an African black man, his eyes were filled with unruliness, and he also had a merciless look as he looked at other people.
He had seen such a gaze before; that was what he had seen in the pirates that had abducted him.
Hence, this man was a pirate.
“Lin Feng is the agent sent by the National Security Bureau to take care of us, although his companion over there is a pirate, but he is a pirate that Lin Feng trusts very much. We had gotten our heavy weaponry through him, as well as a helicopter.”
Ye Jian, who was staying on alert while in close proximity, explained to Father Fu, who had intentionally stayed behind her, as if afraid that she’ll wander off, “He’s reliable, don’t worry.”
“Caution is the parent of safety; it never hurts to be more careful.” Father Fu, who didn’t trust pirates, shook his head, his eyes filled with grim thoughts, “We can choose to trust him, but we can’t rely on him.”
He meant that they can’t rely solely on a pirate.
Ye Jian understood his implicit meaning, “Of course, we have kept our own hand as well.”
Pigeon, who had never shown himself, as well as the scientists that weren’t brought in front of Supa, was their hand kept away from Supa. They could trust him but not rely on him; Captain Xia believed that as well.
“Your team’s captain is quite young, but he knows the ins and outs of life and is quite old-fashioned; what a rare young man. You ah, should learn more from him, you’ll benefit a lot.” Father Fu stared at the young soldier’s tall and wide back, who gave him a steadfast feeling just by looking at his back; he covertly nodded his head with satisfaction.
The young man is quite good. From his arrangements, it was obvious that he was a meticulous and thorough person, and it was hard for anyone to point out any flaws.
His daughter, as well as her comrades, trusted him and obeyed him really much; from that, it was evident that his abilities were extraordinary.
Being able to lead a squad into battle at such a young age, and with regards to his age… up till now, this young lad in front of his eyes was the only one that had such abilities.
Ye Jian also looked at the tall and wide back, standing on alert in front of her, her lips curved upwards a little, not bad ah Captain Xia, your future father-in-law admires you as well.
Lieutenant Colonel Xia, who was on alert, didn’t see the appreciative look his future father-in-law was giving him, after getting into the operation, his aura was cold and strict, and only a layer of frost could be seen between his handsome brows and had set aside his girlfriend and future father-in-law.
His current mission was to escort the four scientists safely back home.
