“Mr. President, if you’re unable to fulfill even one out of the three demands, then not only your daughter but many children will be burned to ashes with gasoline and join your daughter in heaven. As long as you wish it, then we will be able to do it immediately.”
Pabell had never thought of using only Petty as a hostage to bring up her demands. She gathered more than fifty children in the orphanage and was very confident that her demands would now be fulfilled.
If it was only Petty and Ye Jian, if they wanted to save the girls, then all they needed was to know their exact location, but with the addition of fifty kids… the problem had become much more severe!
K7 hid at a vantage point where he could observe the situation in the orphanage. While watching through the binoculars, he said: “They have a lot of manpower and enough firepower. Consider fulfilling their demands, but meanwhile, suggest that they release some hostages. The transport plane cannot sit that many children. The extra ones will become a problem.”
He is a doctor, his words were simple and straightforward, but every sentence he spoke hit the nail on the head.
Very quickly, the whole operation’s plan was revised once again. The President immediately called an urgent meeting and ordered the highly capable staff of the relevant ministries, such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of National Defense to swiftly form a base of operations for this rescue mission.
This was Pakistan’s most significant case of a group of children being kidnapped. Disregarding the fact that these kids were orphans and there were no relatives who would be worried about them, they also did not have any family members waiting for their safe return.
But for the Pakistan Government, these were the children that they must rescue and mustn’t give up on.
Night had started to fall. The Chinese government was also participating in the current operation. They proposed not to apply full measures of military force because aside from Ye Jian and Petty, who was slightly older, the rest were just innocent and ignorant children!
Time was slipping away bit by bit. Many of the children who were tired of crying were already asleep, only the slightly older children knew about the danger, Their eyes were wide open, and they dared not shut them.
Ye Jian had already woken up from her nap. No matter what, it was essential to maintain an energetic body.
After napping for around two hours, which also meant that the time now was around 8p.m., it had already been two hours since the phone call between Pabell and the President. At this time,… Captain Xia and the others should be approaching the orphanage.
The moment she thought of that, Ye Jian heard the chirping of birds. This was the chirping of the species most common in Pakistan, it was a type of lark.
No one noticed what was amiss with the chirping of the birds. Only Ye Jian, with a calm gaze, knew… this was the signal that Captain Xia and the others have arrived!
Two people had arrived. Now they just needed to make sure of her precise location!
The chirping of lark transmitted with high and low notes, then gradually disappeared… Like a playful lark propping itself on a room’s windowsill and was not returning back to its nest.
“Nine o’clock. Confirmed hostages. Fifty-two. Pass weapons.”
The two Elite Platoon members were spiritually invigorated and quickly approached towards the nine o’clock direction.
Inside the room, Ye Jian gently covered up Petty’s mouth. She whispered: “Our people have come, Ms. Petty. Now be good, and sit there quietly. Trust me very quickly, everyone will be able to leave.”
Only after feeling Petty nodding her head did Ye Jian remove her hand. “Don’t alarm the other children, their cries will attract attention. Now I need to move around for a bit. No matter what happens, don’t scream. Understand?”
“Okay, no problem! If you can give me a gun, I think I can protect these children.” Ms. Petty wasn’t a naive girl. Instead, she was a girl who knew how to wield a gun!
