8:50 a.m, Ye Jian, who was staring at the television with a focused expression, wasn’t at all curious about what Xia Jinyuan was calling Hou Zi to talk about in the washroom. It was currently 8:50 a.m, and there were only 10 minutes before the 9 o’clock news.
News that can be played on television has all been through editing and auditing before being put on the air, so she had never considered finding out what the mission Xia Jinyuan and the others had gone through from the news.
After hanging up, Xia Jinyuan walked out of the washroom and told Ye Jian: “Someone will deliver clothes in half an hour. After that, let’s take a walk together.”
Take a walk together after half an hour? Then she wouldn’t even be able to finish watching the whole episode of the detailed news report. Hopefully, she’ll be able to find hints from the trailer.
“Must we take a walk together? Can’t we go to the training grounds?” Ye Jian raised her head and looked at the man who had decided today’s schedule, her thin brows gently knitted together, “Captain Xia, why do I feel like you’re hiding something from me?”
Xia Jinyuan raised his brows, “We truly can’t go to the training ground today, as to what it is…, you should watch the television first. There’s a portion left for me, right? I’m suddenly hungry.”
After immediately redirecting the conversation, Ye Jian suddenly felt much more suspicious, “There’s still some food left. You can eat it while telling me why we must take a walk together.”
Xia Jinyuan tossed her an undisputable smile; his depthless eyes seemed to have a layer of mysteriousness glossing underneath them, “Keep watching the news and eat your breakfast slower, I’ll join you soon.”
It seems like the little fox was starting to get curious. Hopefully, she won’t get scared and bawl her eyes out…
Bawl her eyes out? That doesn’t sound possible, how would his staunch little fox bawl her eyes out?
Before ten seconds had passed since he walked inside, Xia Jinyuan, who was previously wearing a smile on his face, walked out with a cold expression. In his hands was Ye Jian’s school uniform, her school uniform that was spotted with blood.
“What happened when you went out?” He asked with a hushed voice, there was a trace of anxiousness within, “Did you see any suspicious people? Did you eliminate them?”
After returning inside the border he had paid attention during his whole trip, it’s not possible for the ‘snakes’ that were lured across the border to find his tracks this quickly,… could it be that he was careless and Someone had tried to kill his little fox?
Ye Jian, who was staring attentively at the television, lifted her gaze and saw his tensed face while holding her blood-stained uniform that she had left in the washroom. She was surprised by his reaction and promptly explained: “There was a car accident on the way to the airport, the blood on the uniform isn’t mine, it’s the blood of the injured person when I was assisting the rescue operation.”
So that’s why, he was really panicked a moment ago.
Glancing at the uniform in his hands, although the dried blood on it doesn’t belong to Ye Jian, but his heart was starting to feel heavy.
Without revealing any unusualness on his face, he laughed: “So that’s why. It looks like that accident must be quite serious, you’ve got so much blood on you even though you were only helping out.
“Yeah, it was quite bad, I wonder what’s the driver’s condition now?” Seeing how his eyebrows relaxed after her explanation and even his expression seemed much more at ease, Ye Jian, whose heart was filled with questions, started to knit her brows together.
What exactly happened during their mission? Why is he so tense even after returning to the country?
Also, he had asked about encountering any suspicious people? And eliminated them? Why would she eliminate anyone?
… That’s not right, that’s not right… It’s not that she has to eliminate anyone, it’s that there’s Someone who needs to be eliminated!
Someone had followed Xia Jinyuan into the country!
Otherwise, why did he rush all the way here and even burn away the clothes that he had worn that day?
