Chapter 498: A Coordinated Strike
Ye Jian’s mouth curved up when she heard her words. “Okay, I’ll try my best.” As much as possible, but not now. After all, Betty did not undergo any professional training. If a gun was discovered on her, the consequences would be disastrous.
She gently patted Betty’s shoulder and said, “Sit here and rest. If any of the children cry, try your best to comfort them. Trust me! Miss Betty, we will leave here safely with all the other children.”
Ye Jian’s words calmed Betty. There was another person who was trying to protect these young children like her. That was why she had to muster her courage, stand up and protect her own people.
“Jian, rest a.s.sured, although I don’t have a gun, I’ve been learning from the guards. I do know how to fight.” Betty lowered her heard and sounded as though she was blaming herself. “I’m very sorry, I’m bad at fighting.”
Outside, two ghost-like silhouettes sneaked into the orphanage, looking for the room which Ye Jian was in.
When Ye Jian was leaning close to the door, she could hear a dull sound coming from outside, and the sound of heavy objects being dragged on the ground. She knew that the two al-Qaeda members who were guarding the door had been neutralized.
“Q King, it’s done.” The message came through the earpiece.
On the other side, Xia Jinyuan dived underneath a bus like a cheetah and pierced a thumbtack into its tires. Hearing his comrades’ voice, he smiled faintly, “Everything is going well. Inform Ye Jian to prepare for the coordinated strike.”
The entrance of the Xueyu unit would mean that the rescue operation was launched. As for Pabel’s three demands, the Pakistani President would satisfy them and get it done as soon as possible.
The first thing was to release Chetivorokov from prison. At the same time, the Chinese soldiers would infiltrate the orphanage.
And this was also the time when Pabel could confirm that Chetivorokov was out of prison and would be on their way to the airport.
The two Xueyu unit members would need to successfully enter Ye Jian’s room. Everything had to be synchronized and it was not to be delayed.
The two Xueyu unit members who came to make contact with Ye Jian were not Xia Jinyuan’s bunch. They were members who could speak the Urdu language. They knew that there was a girl inside who was protecting the leader and was here on an exchange.
Ye Jian heard soft knocking sounds from outside and responded lightly with her fingers on the door. After getting confirmation, she whispered softly, “We can’t afford to have a firefight here. There are oil barrels here and four children drenched in oil. It would cause an explosion. There are a total of thirty-two hostages, sixteen of them are under six years old and the oldest is twelve.”
After the war, many of the children didn’t grow too tall because of malnutrition. The twelve-year-old boy looked like he was ten.
Listening to her detailed report, the two Xueyu unit members who had already disguised themselves in the gray robes exchanged a look. They knew the one they were looking for was Ye Jian, who had helped them to complete their missions many times.
She was calm, without a trace of fear.
“Roger that, the President has already agreed to their requests. They will release a group of hostages today at ten o’clock.” A completely foreign voice sounded. “I’m V8, and the other member is T6. We are already inside the al-Qaeda group. Disguise is complete.”
