The night wind blew in through the opened window, bringing along with it the sll of gunfire. The siren wailed on in the city's night sky. Despite leaning their entire body out of the window, the International Police were still unable to locate the Chinese soldiers, including the soldier who had hidden in the vent.
"Sir, they are gone." soone whispered over the intercom to report to the Commander on-site. "Sadly, we were still a little late."
Without leaving a trace behind, they have disappeared into thin air.
It was impossible to see their faces clearly during the earlier encounter since the Chinese soldiers all had gas masks on. And now, they have completely disappeared.
The International Polices' spirits were brought down by a feeling of discomfort which lingered on in their hearts. Unfortunately, they had no one to confide in.
Were the Chinese soldiers weak? Were they, really? No one would answer these questions, but they all had the answers in their minds.
The Commander on-site paused briefly. Gone? Disappeared?
God! Since when had the International Police been unable to locate a few people?
Carrying Ye Jian in his arms, Xia Jinyuan avoided several waves of soldiers who rushed into the building. First, they stopped to take cover at the side of an operating elevator where many Australian police were getting on and off. Next, they waited until all the policen have left before stepping out from the dark.
He had no idea that Ye Jian was getting dizzy in his arms. Not only was her head dizzy, but her small face also turned red like a peach brocade.
The air quality inside the building was poor because the International Police had thrown smoke bombs all over the place like they were free. With the air full of smoke, Ye Jian thought she had stayed in the building too long that even her gas mask had beco useless.
Why else would she feel so dizzy?
Tucking in her head like a turtle in its shell, Ye Jian tried to hypnotize herself with such explanations.
A few steps before they could get out of the building, Ye Jian finally cald her mind and lightly coughed. "Captain Xia, I can walk on my own. You… don't need to carry , I am not used to it."
"Are you sure your legs are strong enough?" Teasing her slightly, he still respected Ye Jian and slightly bent to put her down. "Let know whenever you can't walk. I still have the strength to carry you."
Given that she was very light and skinny, the first thought that ca to his mind as he held her in his arms was that she needed intensive care.
Out of his arms and away from his body temperature, Ye Jian felt that even her breathing had beco a lot smoother. She no longer felt dizzy and everything was cleared up.
Sure enough, one cannot be too close to a dangerous man and be held in his arms like a treasure. Nevertheless, like he had said, her feet did felt weak after landing on the ground!
But it was impossible for her to admit it.
She gently smiled. "If I really can't go on, I will not hesitate to let you know."
Will not hesitate to let him know… as if. One mont, this little girl was as cunning as a fox; the next mont, she beca as slick as a fish; and then suddenly, she turned as adorable as a rabbit. It was truly difficult to understand her clearly.
"Well, you are welco at any ti." Hearing her voice returning to its usual indifference, Xia Jinyuan relaxed and joked. "You know, n are born to serve beautiful girls. I will always be at your service, little girl."
