With Ye Jian’s voice, Xia Jinyuan didn’t have to conceal his footsteps in the darkness anymore. Pretending to be Liao Youde, he rushed upstairs hurriedly.
The man, who had been waiting for them to come up, didn’t suspect anything. Instead, he held a lighter to illuminate the way for the people going upstairs, saying, “Doctor, carry your belongings and watch your steps.”
In less than half a second after the lighter was ignited, Xia Jinyuan, wearing a pair of combat gloves, reached out to extinguish the light and covered the man’s mouth swiftly.
Stepping forward, he used his left arm to deftly encircle the man from the back of his head. After a m.u.f.fling sound, the silence was restored to the upstairs.
A light flickered again. Awaiting, Ye Jian saw the stern-faced Xia Jinyuan make a moving-forward hand gesture.
As the light was put off, she held Doctor Zhou’s hand and said gently, “Auntie, there is the last step.”
The last step was to barge into the room where Brother Fei was hiding and to control the suspects.
The second floor of Chunyang Grand Hotel was for accommodation with five guest rooms only. Through his earpiece, Xia Jinyuan received the information from the soldiers lurking on the second floor. Several service staff had been put under control, while the targets were confirmed to be in the second guest room on the second floor.
This time, Ye Jian, who had come upstairs, took the initiative and approached Xia Jinyuan who was leaning against the wall to conceal himself. The moment she reached out her slender fingers, he grabbed them tightly, sending over a hand signal.
“Two people. Guest Room No.2. Second floor.”
Receiving the message, Ye Jian changed her voice into An Jiaxin’s and started to complain, “I should have brought a flashlight. It’s so dark here without any candle,” standing before Guest Room No.2, she continued speaking in a more disgruntled voice. “Uncle Youde, Where are you going?”
“You are so demanding! Here is your flashlight!” the voice belonging to Liao Youde was heard. After that, someone trotted away from the room, bewildering the soldiers who were hiding in the dark.
While Ye Jian was performing as a ventriloquist, imitating one and another person’s voice, Xia Jinyuan couldn’t help but smile with his lips closed.
Her imitation was remarkably vivid!
Doctor Zhou also wanted to smile, but she couldn’t at this kind of moment. She raised her hand to knock the door, saying, “Is anybody seeing the doctor? Why is the door locked?” Her accent was that from the town.
“Of course there is a patient here! Or else why did I bring you here?!” This time, Ye Jian was adopting the voice of the man who was knocked out by Xia Jinyuan.
Inside the room, Brother Fei, lying in bed, finally spoke up, “Light the candles and bring in the doctor.”
The pitch-black room was finally lit up by the faint candle lights. As a corner of the room was illuminated slightly, Brother Fei’s pale and fragile face was visible. He said to the man who had been protecting him all day, “Watch over the doctor’s daughter and let Biao bring in the doctor!”
While he was speaking, he gritted his teeth, with a ferocious look in his eyes.
The instant the door to the room was open, Ye Jian reacted swiftly and pulled Doctor Zhou to the side, leaving the frontal position to the soldiers who were ready to stage a raid.
Standing at the front with a look as-fierce-as-sword in his eyes, Xia Jinyuan raised his right leg to kick the opening door violently. Bang! After a loud noise, the whole wooden door was kicked into the room.
He was kicking at such a high and violent speed that Ye Jian, leaning against the wall, felt a blast of wind stroking her face, hurting her face a little bit.
The man that was opening the door was knocked onto the ground. Before he could get up, the hidden armed soldiers had barged into the room. Black muzzles pointing at the man on the ground, they yelled, “Freeze!”
