Smiling, Ye Jian placed the bag on her bed and contacted Xia Jinyuan. As she unzipped the bag, one after another packet of white crystal appeared in front of her. “About 40 kilograms. If I am correct, these are heroin.”
Xia Jinyuan jumped up from his bed with a cold look in his deep and black eyes. “Wait for me. I will be there in a minute!”
…
Without giving Ye Jian any chance to refuse him, he cut off the communication signal and rushed downstairs.
And he didn’t knock on the front door of Ye Jian’s room. When Ye Jian heard the knocking sound from the outside of her window, she froze for half a second.
She dashed toward the window, pulling up the curtain. The dangerous man, who said he was coming to her room one minute ago, was standing on the windowsill which was only covered by a few plants.
Ye Jian’s mouth slightly trembled. She opened the window quickly. “Why not the front door but…” said she, but she didn’t finish the rest of her sentence.
If he didn’t enter from the front door, it meant that he must avoid being seen. Was he suggesting that the criminal suspects had partners inside the hotel?
As he came inside, with a cold and stern look on her face, Ye Jian automatically reached out her slender arm to place around Xia Jinyuan’s shoulders. “Be careful, we are on the eighth floor. If you fall, you may cripple or kill yourself.”
The slender arm of the girl made Xia Jinyuan feel very safe. Although he didn’t need her protection, he felt very warm the moment she placed her arm around his shoulders.
He was right about the little fox. As a student, she had possessed the awareness to protect her comrades at any time.
Instead of turning down her protection, Xia Jinyuan placed his arm around her thin but resilient shoulders, jumping down from the balcony.
In the dim lights, they seemed like two compatible comrades who had known each other for years.
“The heroin weighs 42 kilograms, which equals to innumerable wealth in the Vietnamese currency,” said Ye Jian, placing the black bag on the coffee table. “One hour and five minutes ago, Red Scorpion entered my room and put it here.”
Frowning, Xia Jinyuan shot Ye Jian a chilling glance as if he was about to murder someone. “You found it an hour and five minutes ago, but you didn’t tell me until now?!” It sounded like the Major was a bit angry.
What if anything happened to his little fox? How should he explain to the two seniors who were waiting for her in her hometown?!
“Don’t get mad,” said Ye Jian, whose heart palpitated in fear due to his intimidating glance. Nevertheless, she regained her composure and explained to him clearly. “He is too clever to get rid of me before the deal is closed. The compet.i.tion begins tomorrow! If anything happens to me, the compet.i.tion will be canceled! He won’t get anything if it is canceled, right?”
Hence, she was not afraid!
Xia Jinyuan wasn’t sure how he should feel about it. Sometimes the intelligent little fox made him worry.
Just as she said, Red Scorpion could not kill her because he had hidden his drugs in her room, which had also confirmed that the most dangerous place was unexpectedly the safest place as well.
But the girl was too audacious!
With a cold look on his handsome face, Xia Jinyuan exhaled lightly. As he spoke again, he had that kind of serious facial expression like he was addressing to his soldiers. “Listen, Ye Jian! In a group operation, every soldier should update his detailed whereabouts and findings to his comrades, whenever he has the chance to contact them.”
