Chapter 493: Save Yourself

Pabel was a volunteer teacher in that school. Q King and K7 had already gone to that school. If there were any abnormalities, they would have found out about it.

The Pakistani military took charge of the other two locations. Similarly, if there were any abnormal situations, they would initiate the rescue.

After the major general hung up the phone, he reported the status to the Head. Soon, an elite Special Forces squad received an order to head to a primary school once they had gotten off the plane.

It was a cool autumn in Pakistan in October. The average temperature during the day was thirty-one degrees. It would be slightly lower and cooler at night.

It was already 5.30 pm in the afternoon. Going out of the presidential palace, Ye Jian had been taking note of the time that she saw in the car. It had already been two and a half hours.

She believed that Captain Xia and the rest would have figured out Pabel’s ident.i.ty, but she was not sure whether they would know where they were.

It was extremely quiet here, and they were locked up in a room that smelled like curry and meat. She presumed that they were in a kitchen’s storage room. It was too dark. If she didn’t keep track of the time, she would’ve thought that the sky was dark.

All of her limbs were tied up. Having her hands tied up was not an issue for her. She grasped for the knot and thought about what kind of knot it was and how she could untie it quickly.

Having closed her eyes, Ye Jian didn’t speak to Betty. She only whispered softly when she managed to untie the knot, “Don’t be afraid, Miss Betty. Take a rest first. I need to climb up the window and see where this place is.”

Her right hand touched a silver wire that was entangled in her left hand… She had been searched by them. It was fortunate that she had left her pistol as a signal. If they had found a pistol on her body, they would have been wary of her.

They took away her watch, but not the wire on her left hand… They thought that it was a silver bracelet.

Betty didn’t realize that Ye Jian had already stood up. Her voice trembled as she uttered, “Jian, we’ve been kidnapped by Miss Pabel. I think she is probably an al-Qaeda member.”

Huh? Why is it like this?

Ye Jian moved her wrist and crouched down again and asked softly as she squatted in front of her, “What did you find out, Miss Betty?”

“One day, I mentioned the conflict between the government forces and al-Qaeda and Pabel suddenly got angry. She told me not to mention such things in front of her again.”

Betty was terrified. Her voice was filled with fear and trembled with every sentence she made. “I think she’s an al-Qaeda member. But I trusted her because she’s a very patient teacher.”

Teachers were always able to gain the trust of students and parents. That was why Ye Jian felt that there was nothing wrong about Betty not informing the President about it. She could only say that Betty was not vigilant enough.

She hugged her lightly and smiled, “It’s okay, Miss Betty. Nothing will happen to us. Believe me. I need to go up and look around…”

Before she finished her sentence, the sounds of footsteps could be heard. Ye Jian immediately let go of Betty and quickly picked up the rope that she had left in place and tied herself back again.
