Chapter 168: Standing Together Through Storm and Stress
Xia Jinyuan was disciplining Ye Jian as if she was one of his soldiers. He was telling Ye Jian how a qualified soldier should cooperate with the team on a battlefield.
Major Xia was aware that his sharp tongue was very likely to cause Ye Jian’s aversion. But he must discipline her in this regard!
“Whenever you lose contact with the rest of the team, you must leave behind marks to let your comrades know! You should not act alone or make decisions on your own.”
Hearing this, Ye Jian stopped smiling. She was ready to accept criticism and education.
She assumed what she did was correct, but she had no idea that her action would make others worry for her.
The guilty look on the girl’s face made her seem like a small bunny, which made Xia Jinyuan feel a bit of a headache. Sometimes, it was challenging for him to be tough with the girl.
But he had to be tough! The leniency of today would jeopardize her in the future!
When he finished his scolding, Ye Jian said obediently, “It won’t happen again. I didn’t contact you until one hour later because I feared that Red Scorpion might still be lurking outside or reenter my room.”
Anyway, she was clever enough to admit her mistake immediately!
‘Hey! A smart move!’ thought Xia Jinyuan.
The stern look on his face was replaced with a smile. “Good for you that you can admit your mistake. Your judgment was quite normal, but if you could contact your comrades, you must do so right away, which would also be protecting yourself.”
“I see! It won’t happen again!” Ye Jian also smiled. Undeniably, it was a pleasure to work with someone like Xia Jinyuan. After he addressed the serious topic in an intimidating tone, he would display his sense of humor properly, making his coworkers realize what he did was for their own good.
He was a man with a kind heart. No matter how dangerous he was, people would be willing to approach him.
When the black bag was placed back to its original place, the goods inside it were not the same.
It was Ye Jian who had switched the goods and placed the bag to its original place. Now that the goods, which many people from different countries were chasing after, were in the hands of the Chinese government, some people would have to ask for the help of China.
The students woke up at six the next morning. The breakfast lasted one hour. Later, one after another bus parked outside the hotel, picking up the contestants from 24 countries.
The Australian TV reporters arrived very early to cover the course of the contestants entering the University of Sydney.
The hotel was a ten-minute drive from the University of Sydney. Led by the police vehicles in the front and guarded by the police vehicles in the back, 24 buses drove slowly into this prestigious university.
Gazing outside through the window on the bus, Yang Ye used her right hand to grab Ye Jian’s left hand excitedly. “You know what? This is my dream school! And it does not let me down! It is gorgeous!”
She tilted her head to ask Ye Jian, “What about you? What’s your dream school?”
Sitting in the row before them, Gao Yiyang happened to hear their conversation. With an indifferent look on his face, he opened his eyes. He tilted his head to look at the campus of this renowned university. It was his plan to study abroad. Did Ye Jian have such a plan?
“I have my dream school, but it is definitely not a foreign one,” answered Ye Jian, smiling. She had a resilient countenance, which her peers didn’t have. “I am working hard, and I hope my dream can come true four years later.”
