”Every wound must be well taken care of. You followed us over, but we’ve caused you, a child, to suffer. This is a foreign country, child; there are some things that our Country cannot interfere too much,” The leader, who personally stood up and walked over, was filled with prestige as he looked with his kind eyes at the girl for whom even the Pakistani President was praising. He gently patted her shoulder as he said: “It’s great you’re back safe and sound. It’s great you’re back, our arrangements were not in place, allowing you, a child to have endured much hardship.”
The leader had been self-reflecting even before Ye Jian returned.
How were they supposed to control such matters completely? Regardless of whether the Chinese side or the Pakistani side making careful arrangements, who would have known that the teacher responsible for teaching Ms. Petty English would be a member of the Al-Qaeda? Hiding since the old regime right until the new government, passing through all screening and investigations, confirmed to have a clean background, there weren’t any problems!
One had to know that the Chinese leader’s visiting the Pakistani party was a secret visit! Being able to remain in the President House, people knowing the itinerary this time were people besides the President as well as his trusted aides! Pabell had even represented the old government in attending the Chinese-Pakistani joint venture celebrations in the past.
There was still a problem!
”For me, it’s not considered enduring hardship. On the contrary, I was quite happy about the hostage situation,” Ye Jian grinned as she sat down together with the leader. She had the tenderness of a little girl but also the fearlessness of a soldier.
The leader let out an unexpected ‘Oh’ when he heard those words. He originally intended to allow Ye Jian to rest earlier, but it piqued his interest this time as he asked: “Why is it so? Could it be that you’re not afraid?”
This young lady was fascinating. She said she was not afraid of being abducted and was happy instead.
Moreover, based on her expression, he knew it was not just casual talk; she truly felt it was a happy thing.
Being able to chat with the Country’s leader was a privilege for anyone. Regardless of who it was, to be able to pique the leader’s interest, it was no longer just a privilege, the leader values her.
Ye Jian only displayed calmness and indifference when facing such privilege. She smiled and said: “The army has been training me these past few years. Although it’s unfortunate encountering such matters, it’s an accumulation of practical experience for me.”
”I’m not afraid of you laughing; I was excited when we got abducted. I thought that I could finally practice my skills,” Ye Jian puckered her lips and revealed a shy smile. “That was my thoughts at that time, but when I knew whose arms I’d fallen into, I began to panic.”
She had always maintained the speed of her speech. She mentioned that she was afraid, but she also said her plans. Every word, every emotion in her eyes, had revealed her confidence.
”The army trained me, hoping that one day I would bring glory for the Country. I was only doing my best to give back to the Country and the army who cultivated me.”
She would speak what’s on her mind. There was no need to think over it; there was no need to fabricate anything, just saying everything she could think of.
Qin Xiu, who did not leave, had been quietly listening from the side. He was able to hear every word Ye Jian had said. His calm expression was hiding the shock in his heart.
She is only a high school student, whatever she said had far exceeded everyone’s expectations, even so for the leader.
