As Xia Jinyuan received the information from his comrades waiting outside, an icy look appeared on his face. “Switch to the public channel!” According to the plan, the International Police must not show up until they found Ye Jian and Gao Yiyang!
But now, the plan was ruined. Though Xia Jinyuan had always been well-mannered, he really wanted to punch them right now.
Xia Jinyuan contacted Ye Jian as soon as the signal was switched to the public channel.
Ye Jian stood up from the ground when she heard the blaring police sirens. After she heard the messy sounds from her earpieces, she said, “Copy! Don’t worry about me. I’ve found a pistol. I can protect myself!”
Found a pistol? Xia Jinyuan was squatting on the second-floor stairway. Xu Yu was standing on a tall stool he had found somewhere, fumbling at an emergency indicator light. Two minutes later, he showed an ‘okay’ gesture to Xia Jinyuan.
Nodding, Xia Jinyuan gestured him to march forward. Smiling, he said to Ye Jian, “Well done, girl! We are on the second floor right now, and the International Police has surrounded the building. You guys can leave through the escape window.”
Ye Jian turned off the lights in the room as she listened to him. Then she walked past Gao Yiyang, who had woken up to the noises, and stopped in front of the window.
Bang! With a calm look in her eyes, Ye Jian fired a shot at the glass. Penetrated by the bullet, the glass started to shatter and was soon covered by the spiderweb-like cracks.
Gently, Ye Jian lifted her leg and kicked on the glass. When a footprint appeared on the cracked glass, Ye Jian turned around and said, “Take off your shirt and give it to me! Hurry!” She wasn’t sure if anyone was downstairs, so she had to pull back the glass into the room using her bare hands.
Gao Yiyang had been completely dumbfounded since Ye Jian fired that shot.
He had no choice but to obey Ye Jian’s stern instruction. He took off his short-sleeved school uniform and gave it to her. Wrapping her hand with the shirt, Ye Jian put one finger through the bullet hole and pulled the glass back into the room.
Splash. Splash. Without using much strength, Ye Jian had shattered the entire glass inside the room, leaving behind a window frame wide enough for one person to go through.
Unlike the rooms in China, the rooms here were not equipped with security nets. The blinking police lights were shining into the room. Gao Yiyang did not move, so Ye Jian yelled, “Quick! Jump through the window and leave!”
Gao Yiyang was still shocked by the sound of the gunshot. Ye Jian’s yelling sobered him up. Shuddering, he rushed to the window. “Okay! Follow me!”
“Put on your clothes.” Ye Jian tossed his shirt back to him. “Move quickly and don’t panic. The people outside are with the International Police.”
Suddenly, footsteps were heard from outside of the room. Following which, two shots were fired, and the lock fell from the door. Sensing that something was wrong, Ye Jian loaded her pistol with all the bullets, dragged Gao Yiyang and hid behind the door.
A murderous figure kicked open the door, dashing into the dark room.
He rushed to the front of the window frame and glanced downward. “Fu*k,” he cursed. Then, he turned around and yelled at his partner standing at the door. “Damn it! They ran away!”
While he cursed on and dashed out of the room, the man at the door raised his hand and pointed at the space behind the door. When his fingers counted to three, he switched on the power abruptly. Brightness was restored to the previously dark room.
