âEvery wound must be well taken care of. You followed us over, but weâve caused you, a child, to suffer. This is a foreign country, child; there are some things that our Country cannot interfere too much,â The leader, who personally stood up and walked over, was filled with prestige as he looked with his kind eyes at the girl for whom even the Pakistani President was praising. He gently patted her shoulder as he said: âItâs great youâre back safe and sound. Itâs great youâre back, our arrangements were not in place, allowing you, a child to have endured much hardship.â
The leader had been self-reflecting even before Ye Jian returned.
How were they supposed to control such matters completely? Regardless of whether the Chinese side or the Pakistani side making careful arrangements, who would have known that the teacher responsible for teaching Ms. Petty English would be a member of the Al-Qaeda? Hiding since the old regime right until the new government, passing through all screening and investigations, confirmed to have a clean background, there werenât any problems!
One had to know that the Chinese leaderâs visiting the Pakistani party was a secret visit! Being able to remain in the President House, people knowing the itinerary this time were people besides the President as well as his trusted aides! Pabell had even represented the old government in attending the Chinese-Pakistani joint venture celebrations in the past.
There was still a problem!
âFor me, itâs not considered enduring hardship. On the contrary, I was quite happy about the hostage situation,â Ye Jian grinned as she sat down together with the leader. She had the tenderness of a little girl but also the fearlessness of a soldier.
The leader let out an unexpected âOhâ when he heard those words. He originally intended to allow Ye Jian to rest earlier, but it piqued his interest this time as he asked: âWhy is it so? Could it be that youâre not afraid?â
This young lady was fascinating. She said she was not afraid of being abducted and was happy instead.
Moreover, based on her expression, he knew it was not just casual talk; she truly felt it was a happy thing.
Being able to chat with the Countryâs leader was a privilege for anyone. Regardless of who it was, to be able to pique the leaderâs interest, it was no longer just a privilege, the leader values her.
Ye Jian only displayed calmness and indifference when facing such privilege. She smiled and said: âThe army has been training me these past few years. Although itâs unfortunate encountering such matters, itâs an accumulation of practical experience for me.â
âIâm not afraid of you laughing; I was excited when we got abducted. I thought that I could finally practice my skills,â Ye Jian puckered her lips and revealed a shy smile. âThat was my thoughts at that time, but when I knew whose arms Iâd fallen into, I began to panic.â
She had always maintained the speed of her speech. She mentioned that she was afraid, but she also said her plans. Every word, every emotion in her eyes, had revealed her confidence.
âThe army trained me, hoping that one day I would bring glory for the Country. I was only doing my best to give back to the Country and the army who cultivated me.â
She would speak whatâs on her mind. There was no need to think over it; there was no need to fabricate anything, just saying everything she could think of.
Qin Xiu, who did not leave, had been quietly listening from the side. He was able to hear every word Ye Jian had said. His calm expression was hiding the shock in his heart.
She is only a high school student, whatever she said had far exceeded everyoneâs expectations, even so for the leader.
