Chapter 2316: It’s Harder To Leave Alive
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
J5 said that Quentin meant no harm, but since he knew where the silver wire came from, it was better to be cautious.
“Sit.” Quentin pointed to a half-new leather sofa and turned into another air-raid shelter as if he didn’t see Ye Jian standing at the exit.
When he came out, he had the most common black plastic bag in his hand. He said to Ye Jian, “It’s not easy to escape. Relira, the new regime, the military group, and a few others including the national armed forces are looking for you.”
Quentin did not speak Mandarin fluently, and his vocal cords were damaged. When he spoke, he would pause for a few seconds before saying the next few words. It took twice as long to finish a sentence than the average person.
Ye Jian was a very vigilant person. When he suddenly said these words, a sharp glint flashed across her eyes. She looked at Quentin quietly and pursed her lips. She remained silent and didn’t reply.
!!
“You’re so beautiful…”
Quentin, who was looking into Ye Jian’s eyes, suddenly said this. His voice was hoa.r.s.e and sad. He kept looking into Ye Jian’s eyes, as if he was recalling another person’s face through her eyes.
Could it be that she was similar to an old friend of his? Ye Jian, who could not guess why, lowered her eyes slightly and thought to herself. She smiled and replied, “Thank you for your praise.”
“You’re welcome. What I said is the truth. You have clear eyes. Your eyes are the most beautiful.” Quentin put his walking cane aside and opened the black plastic bag with both hands. He took out a stack of photos and slowly chose some. He handed the selected photos to Ye Jian.
“Look at them. They’re all people who want to … look for you. I know.”
Ye Jian was surprised when she took the photos. These people… were all the faces that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ staff member asked her to remember.
And now, Quentin had said these people were all looking for them! How did he know?!
Ye Jian hid the sharpness in her eyes and asked politely, “Mr. Quentin, how did you know that these people were looking for us?”
At first, Ye Jian didn’t want to admit their ident.i.ties, but Quentin obviously knew them very well. Ye Jian, who specially noted that she didn’t sense his malice from the beginning to the end, asked him, “Other than knowing that they’re looking for us, what else do you know?”
“A lot. Everyone doesn’t want you to leave. Kritzin from the new regime doesn’t want you to. He wants to… stop you and let Relira … be unlucky.”
Although Quentin spoke intermittently, the amount of information that was revealed made Ye Jian’s heart sink. She looked at him coldly.
Just now, Qin Xiu had only mentioned that Relira would attack crazily, but he had not mentioned anything about the new government!
And now Quentin was telling her that the new government… was actually so sleazy as to take advantage of the situation to set up Relira.
The temperature in Ye Jian’s eyes dropped rapidly. It was so cold that it was as if there was snow inside. “Mr. Quentin, why do you know so much?”
“I’m a businessman. I have a lot of connections. Someone sold me… the information. So I know,” Quentin said calmly. “It’ll be hard for you guys… to leave. It’s even harder to leave alive. It can be… easier if you listen to my arrangements.”
The entire city was on lockdown. Vehicles were banned. Even motorcycles were not allowed to pa.s.s through. It would be very, very difficult to leave this place alive.
