Ye Jian had never considered what would happen to her when she was one of the last batches of children in the hands of the terrorists of Al Qaeda. Since the man who was as imposing as a mountain was still outside, she believed that he would never give her up.
She also believed that if he wasn’t here right now, then he must be waiting for her on the transport plane! He would never leave her to face this by herself!
Ye Jian placed her trust in Xia Jinyuan this way. Like how Xia Jinyuan was currently infiltrating the orphanage, he also believed that nothing would happen to Ye Jian.
The two soldiers chuckled noiselessly outside. This little lass really does have the charm of a soldier.
“The transporter plane is already arranged. There’s quite some distance between the orphanage and the airport. We have multiple plans for the rescue operation, and if everything goes smoothly, we’ll have sorted everything out at the orphanage.” T6 was an elite soldier that was selected from the army after rounds and rounds of screening. He had plenty of combat experience. When he realized Ye Jian was very calm and collected, a smile engraved itself on his face. “That’s why your predictions are correct. We have decided to sort everything out at the orphanage.”
That was the best outcome; however, Al Qaeda was a militarized organization. Nobody believed that this event will be over so quickly. Pabell must’ve prepared something up her sleeve.
“But if there are oil barrels in the room, the difficulty rises tremendously.” Ye Jian gently pursed her lips. She glanced at the handful of gasoline barrels and the kids that were drenched in gasoline sleeping in the corner. Her gaze slowly inched towards the upper edge of the wall. She slowly recalled the condition of the room when she had just entered, and when her thoughts locked in on one memory, a black light flashed in her eyes. “I’ve thought of something…”
“Fallback.” V8, who was on alert, muttered a warning. The two people on both sides of the door returned to their positions. Less than two minutes later, multiple footsteps passed by from outside, leaving quickly.
Ye Jian quickly spoke to Petty: “They’ve already left. I was told that everything was fine outside. The President has already agreed to Pabell’s demands, and everything has been arranged. Petty, all we need to do now is wait to be rescued.”
She did not tell Petty that the people outside were soldiers from China. It’s not that she couldn’t trust Petty, but the fewer people who knew about this, the better.
On the other side, Pabell’s gloomy gaze was awaiting the government’s final phone call. All she needed to do now was to make sure Syed Warakaf had arrived at the airport and if he had seen the transport plane!
Dressed all in black, she seemed like a spider, each and every word she spoke was laced with venom. “Leave the first group of hostages in the room and dump all the gasoline we have. If an accident happens while we head towards the airport, burn them all! Let the people of this country see how useless their President is!”
They did not release half of the hostages. Instead, they left half of the hostages inside the orphanage If something happened while they were heading towards the airplane… then the kids and staff members of the orphanage that were left behind would be burned alive.
There were nearly sixty Al Qaeda members in total at the orphanage. Fifteen of them would be leaving with Pabell. They would listen and carry out her every word. They were as subordinate as soldiers.
While Pabell was waiting for Syed Warakaf’s phone call, Petty was currently hugging a child deep in slumber while commanding the older kids to carry the younger ones away from Ye Jian. “Listen to my friend, no one can make a sound. Cover your mouths because now we need lots of water. If we have water, then we can’t be burned alive, okay?”
While she was speaking, Ye Jian was wrapping the silver wire from her arm onto a water pipe. She used a broken table leg to twist the wire, the silver wire wrapped around the pipe, and was getting tighter and tighter. Before long, water started to leak out of the tube…
