This was to remind Ye Jian that she could not be compa.s.sionate because of the civilians in the war.

Ye Jian nodded solemnly and replied firmly, “Understood!”

“Amba.s.sador, Ye Jian will definitely protect you. Please trust her.” V8 looked at Qin Xiu again. Although there were only four of them, they also needed to stabilize the morale of the army. The reason why he said this was to establish trust in each other.

Ye Jian would definitely protect him… There was no doubt about that! From the moment she tightened her grip on his hand until it was as if they were one, Qin Xiu knew that she would definitely protect him and use her life to protect him.

“I believe in Ye Jian. I’ve always believed in her,” Qin Xiu looked at V8 seriously and replied. After saying that, he turned his gaze to Ye Jian’s face. His reserved eyes were deep and unfathomable.

!!

He trusted her. No girl had ever dared to throw her life away to keep him safe. She had left a strong impact on his world. He still remembered the beauty of her looking back at him and smiling.

They were very close to the firefight zone. After briefly stabilizing their morale, V8, who looked like a native, led the three of them around and away from the war zone. “Walk out of here first, then find a car and leave.”

It was better to have a car. They could not afford to get delayed here.

They walked very fast, but they attracted no attention. The entire city was in chaos. Civilians in the center firefight area screamed and cried as they staggered and ran.

Home was no longer safe. The soldiers with guns were no longer their protectors. The city was no longer their refuge. Escape had become the only option for the citizens of the city.

More and more civilians were escaping from their homes. The people mourned in their native language. More and more people were crying out in despair.

“Somebody help us… Somebody help us… G.o.d, please help us…” A middle-aged woman who believed in Christ was crying as she poured into the crowd, holding her baby.

The state religion in the country was Buddhism, but a small number of people were Christians.

As Ye Jian listened to these desolate voices, the coldness in her black eyes became more and more concentrated. In the occasional flashes of artillery fire, her eyes were as clear as cold stars.

‘It’s not a peaceful time. It’s just that we live in a peaceful country…’

The four of them looked solemn and cold. They had to leave as soon as possible and reach the negotiation location on time. The war tonight and the screams of the people might happen in their own country one day!

“This way, away from the crowd.” V8 no longer blended into the crowd. He walked to an alley and ducked inside.

K7, who was walking at the back, saw Ye Jian holding Qin Xiu’s hand and entering the alley before following closely.

They all knew that Qin Xiu was an amba.s.sador with an extremely poor sense of direction. Even with Ye Jian watching him alone, K7 would pay attention to him from time to time.

Although they had left the central war zone, the surroundings were not safe. The local armed forces were divided, and soldiers with guns could be seen rus.h.i.+ng toward the central war zone from time to time. They needed to avoid encountering soldiers head-on.

There was a constant barrage of bullets over the city. Some of them were coming from nearby, no more than a few meters apart.

The city was not big. The roads were narrow, and low-rise bungalows could be seen everywhere. Spiderweb-like wires intertwined messily as if the entire city was trapped and not a single living bird could fly out.
