Ye Jian blinked, her mysterious smiling eyes were like a crescent moon on a treetop. It was faintly cold with a glimmer of confidence. Then, she said, “If there is a water pipe, that means there must be a sewer too. Just pour gasoline into the water pipe, and it should be alright.” This place used to be a master …

The water was flowing gently. All of the children held their breaths, afraid that the flowing of water would suddenly become louder and alert the Al Qaeda guards outside. The five gasoline-drenched kids covered their mouths, their large yet bright eyes revealed a surprised look. They allowed the cold water to wash over their bodies and that thick layer of …

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 …

Ye Jian was immediately much more at ease, she was undoubtedly from the special forces from the Chinese’s side, taking action swiftly and decisively, infiltrating inside while disguising as the enemy and coordinating with her comrades who were outside. Noises came from behind the locked door. With a ‘click,’ the closed room door was gently pushed until a small silver …

Her words made Ye Jian curve her lips as she said, “Alright, I’ll try my best.” She’ll do her best, though not now. After all, Petty had never been trained professionally.

As long as you wish it, then we will be able to do it immediately.” Pabell had never thought of using only Petty as …

“You’re really a good kid if only your father was as optimistic and kind as you. If so, you would have finished your class, as usual, gone back to your beautiful room to drink tea, and spent the rest of the evening leisurely with your friend from the East.” Pabell indeed had some demands. She needed to rescue an Al …

5:37p.m. Q3 and K7 had both arrived at the school. Everything in the school seemed normal and without anything strange. The accompanying Pakistani soldier used being thirsty as a reason for the school teacher to get him a cup of water and managed to get into the teacher’s office. “After school ended, Pabell wouldn’t immediately go home. Instead, she would …

“Miss Petty, I’ve untied myself just now, so please believe in me. I will keep you safe.” While tying up herself, she urged Petty, who still hadn’t come to her senses. “We will definitely escape. We will not stay here.” Only when Ye Jian reminded her did Petty snap out of her fright. A glimmer of surprise flashed through her …

Pabell was a volunteer teacher at this school, so Q3 and K7 had already headed towards it. If something was amiss there, they should more or less notice it. The two other places were being monitored by soldiers deployed by the Pakistani Military. If they noticed something out of the norm, they would carry out their rescue operation. After the …
