Chapter 496: The Great Rescue
“What a good child. If your father is as vibrant and kind as you, you might be drinking your afternoon tea after your lesson and spending a comfortable afternoon with your Chinese friend.” Pabel had a motive. She wanted to save a leader of the al-Qaeda group who was caught by the government last week.
The leader was an important person. If not, she wouldn’t expose herself.
Ye Jian could sense that Pabel had a motive. If not, she wouldn’t be telling Betty all these. From her words, she could tell that Pabel would continue staying at the presidential palace using her ident.i.ty as Betty’s English teacher if it wasn’t for an emergency situation.
“Betty, ask her what she needs from you. Try to make her contact the presidential palace.” Ye Jian lowered her voice and spoke softly behind Betty’s back. “We need to let the people in the presidential palace know that we are safe.”
Betty treated Ye Jian like her support now. Hence, even though she was scared, she still stammered, “Teacher Pabel, what do you want from me? If I can help, I will help you. You’re my teacher after all. I respect you.”
As the daughter of the president, Betty wasn’t stupid. She was using her own method to lower the vigilance of their opponents.
Everyone knew that the president’s older daughter died in the hands of terrorists. Thus, they protected their little daughter very well. The people outside all felt that Betty didn’t know how messy her country was.
Why were there such rumors? It was the work of the president and his wife. This was to make people believe that Miss Betty was a naive, pure, and innocent young lady who didn’t know anything about the world.
No one would guard against such a person.
At 5.52 pm, the office line in the presidential palace received a call. The call was directed to the president’s office within five seconds. The president of Pakistan had just ended a call with the leaders of China. He knew that they would support the Pakistan army in all ways.
The relations.h.i.+p between the two countries had always been close. This was because China lent a helping hand to Pakistan many years ago when the whole world had given up on it. China helped Pakistan go through a huge crisis. Hence, until now, the people in Pakistan would warmly welcome any Chinese citizens whenever they came to visit.
“China is Pakistan’s best ally.” This sentence was found in the textbook for primary school students.
A student from China, Ye Jian, was kidnapped during her visit to Pakistan. Yet, the Chinese leaders weren’t angry. Instead, they supported the Pakistan army. The Pakistan government was grateful.
Thus, when the president received the call, he asked about the safety of his daughter only. He never mentioned anything about Ye Jian. This was to let the other party think that Ye Jian wasn’t important.
An unimportant chess piece would be forsaken.
Pabel told the President her demands. First, provide a large transport vehicle. Second, provide enough foreign currency. Chetivorokov must be in the vehicle.
Chetivorokov was the leader of the al-Qaeda group who was caught a week ago.
