"OK! We"ve just received the information and a direct order from a superior that some international wanted criminals are now hiding at the Xiaxi Village of the Xiaxi Town and are trying to evade their capture. They pose a great threat to the safety of the villagers there! Now, the Sharp Eagle team and special forces from the second company are to be deployed. Attention!" spoke Wesley Si, the Commanding General of the troops.
"Yes!" The Sharp Eagle team and the special soldiers replied in unison and their voice was so loud that they could even be heard form far away in the distance!
"Now, Brian Han, the Major and the Sharp Eagle team leader, will lead you to the Xiaxi Village to carry out the mission at hand. Do not forget, above all, you should ensure the villagers" safety first. Of course, you should also ensure your own safety!" added Wesley Si.
"Yes!"
...
After they saluted and said their goodbyes to Mr. Si together, Brian and his fellow soldiers packed up their equipment, carried the camouflage backpacks to the cars and then drove the several military vehicles towards their destination.
At about four o"clock the next morning
f.a.n.n.y and Clay got up first and began to get busy. At about five o"clock, Shirley was woken up by her younger sister.
Shirley didn"t wake Janet up and also asked the make-up artist to try and keep quiet.
When Janet woke up, Shirley had already changed into her wedding gown.
In a daze, Janet sat up from the bed startled and then realized that Shirley was actually getting married today.
"Please go and get washed first and then you can have the hot breakfast!" said Shirley. She smiled and looked at Janet who seemed to be in a trance.
It wasn"t until when she heard Shirley"s words that Janet really noticed her. When she looked at Shirley, she began to slowly awake more and more, and said, "Wow! Shirley, you"re so beautiful today!"
Janet pulled the quilt aside, got out of bed and then walked up to Shirley. She then began to scan Shirley up and down while she was walking around her.
Shirley, with a ruddy face, helped Janet smooth her hair, and said, "Janet, you"re even more beautiful than me, and one day you"ll be the most beautiful bride!"
"Will I?" thought Janet. When she saw Shirley, dressed in the wedding gown, she began to imagine her own wedding.
"Who would be my bridegroom? Could he be..." she thought
At about eight o"clock, after the firecrackers were set off, someone suddenly ran into Shirley"s bedroom, and said, "The bridegroom is here! The bridegroom has arrived!"
Shirley, who was sitting on the bed, held Janet"s hand tightly, looking very nervous.
"Don"t worry. You"re so beautiful and attractive today t
"You"re my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years pa.s.sed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
, and told her husband, "Walter, a group of strangers arrived at our village and they are committing murders right now!"
When he learned about the a terrible situation, Walter just said, "You"re foolish and crazy! Do you want to go back and be killed? I won"t go there. Go back by yourself if you want to!"
When Janet heard these words, she tightly held her fists with rage, clenched her teeth and then kicked the Ferrari"s door, shouting, "G.o.d d.a.m.n you! You don"t deserve to be a man!"
Walter got out of his car right away and was furious when he saw Janet kicking the Ferrari. "Do you know how much I"ve paid to rent this Ferrari? Now that you"ve kicked it, if there"s any scratch on it can you afford it?" he shouted.
Janet, who was looking at him, just sneered at his words. Then she turned around, and said to the bodyguard, "Stay here and wait for me. I"ll go back to the village!"
"Miss Shao, you can"t go back there. It"s too dangerous!"
The bodyguard immediately stopped Janet and tried to persuade her from returning to the village.
But Janet had already got in the car, and said, "Don"t worry! I"ve learned taekwondo and can protect myself. Please ask another bodyguard to take Shirley away from here first!"
When Janet started the car, Shirley had already opened the Ferrari"s door and got off the car. She then ran in front of Janet"s car, and said, "Janet, please don"t go back. Let me go alone instead! They are my mother and father!"
Walter had already bitterly disappointed her in the first hour of their marriage.
"Shirley, just listen to me. You"re pregnant and you can"t go there, it"s too dangerous, " said Janet. Uttering these words, she turned the car around and drove back towards the village.
Shirley watched the Benz driving away fast and then burst into tears.
