” Great . Tell the President that I will release the second batch of hostages after I’ve arrived at the airport . I will release the final bunch of hostages right before boarding the plane, only leaving behind Ms . Petty as well as that Chinese student,” Pabell did not lower her guard . She continued using hostages as her bargaining chip, putting forth her conditions once more .
When the President knew about it upon his arrival at the airport, it was still the same condition . He would fulfill all her terms, but she needed to release all the hostages!
That way, it affirmed Pabell’s belief in the importance of the hostages .
Qin Xiu, from the Chinese party, was in charge of translating by the leader’s side . His voice was transmitted through the icy cold communication equipment by radio waves into the Chinese army’s earpiece . “Pabell requested to keep the second batch of hostages in the room . To ensure the safety of the hostages, the President told Pabell that he only had one condition, to release all the hostages . ”
Qin Xiu was responsible for translating the President’s words . “The leader and the President’s office suggested at the same time that the Chinese operation team will be coordinating with the Pakistan army to complete the task . It must be completed before the plane takes off . ”
Qin Xiu’s voice was very calm . He, who was at the airport, would occasionally cast a glance at the plane parked at the runway . The final batch of hostages would arrive at the airport in about an hour, but Ye Jian1 couldn’t be released .
He gently inhaled a deep breath . Qin Xiu, who was resting, had one hand placed in his pants pocket, his beautiful and pretty face was colder by a few degrees .
Eleven minutes past eleven, Pabell had verbally agreed to the President’s request . Still, she had viciously instructed the Al Qaeda members who remained behind before entering the bus: “Continue as planned . Ignite the gasoline barrels before leaving . Do not let a single one escape!”
She did not intend to let the children in the orphanage go . It was because those children had seen the faces of the Al Qaeda members . If they were listed as wanted after their faces were drawn out, she would be punished once she returned .
It was impossible for those members who remained to leave alive . They had no other choice but to die over there .
They volunteered to stay . They even volunteered to offer their lives to the organization .
The door of the room imprisoning the children was opened once more . After a blinding flash of light, Ye Jian saw two men in gray robes walk in . “Hide the gun properly and give me your hands . Hurry . ”
It was V8 and T6 from the Elite Platoon . To prevent Ye Jian’s gun, as well as traces of movement in the room, from being discovered, they took the initiative to push Ye Jian and Petty out .
Ye Jian saw Pabell on the bus once more . She and Petty had their hands tied up and pushed into the van with guns aimed at them .
” Let the two of them sit in the front seats,” Pabell, who had long entered the bus, instructed in a cold voice . “Oversee them . The two of them are the bargaining chips for us to leave this place . Without them, all of us would be buried along with Syed Warakaf!”
Petty did not talk to Pabell this time . The children on the bus were sitting by the window, and there were armed Al Qaeda members beside them . The guns were loaded, and all the hostages would get shot to death with just a slight movement from outside .
The bus was being driven subversively . During a sharp corner, the man standing next to Ye Jian grabbed her arm with both hands, his fingers were making a ‘V’ sign .
It was V8 in disguise!
Ye Jian had assumed that they had remained at the orphanage, she never imagined that they were beside her . Ye Jian then knew from his message that there were another four members of the Elite Platoon on the bus, Xia Jinyuan2 was one of them!
