Chapter 522

“Even if it’s a minor injury, you still need to take good care of it. We made you suffer just by following us… We are in a foreign country, child. There are some things that we cannot interfere with too much. I hope you don’t mind.” The Head stood up and walked over while he looked at her with his majestic and kind eyes. She was even praised by the Pakistani President. He patted her shoulders gently and said, “It’s good to be back safely. We have failed in our arrangements, causing you to suffer so much.”

Long before she had even returned, the Head had been reflecting about it.

But how could he have possibly controlled all these? Both sides had made ample and thorough arrangements and who knew that Betty’s English teacher turned out to be part of al-Qaeda? She had concealed her identity from the old to the new government and passed through layers of background checks. She was confirmed to be clean and there were no problems!

Their visit to Pakistan was announced too! Those who were in the presidential palace and knew about this trip were people around the President and could be trusted! When the old government was around, Pabel had even represented the government at a joint celebration party between Pakistan and China.

Even so, there was still a problem!

“To me, it’s not a hardship. On the contrary, I’m quite glad that there was such a kidnapping.” Ye Jian sat down together with the Head and laughed. Her laughter had the innocence of a young girl and the fearlessness of a soldier.

The Head heard that and gasped unexpectedly. He had planned on letting Ye Jian return to rest earlier but was intrigued by her reply. “Why? Aren’t you afraid?”

This little girl is really interesting. She’s happy and not terrified about the kidnapping.

Moreover, just by looking at her expression, he could tell that she was not fooling around, but she really felt happy about it.

It was an honor to speak to the country’s leaders. For a country’s leader to be interested in her topic was not an honor. It meant that he valued her.

In the face of such an honor, Ye Jian only showed calmness and indifference. She smiled, “The army has been training me in recent years. Although it was unfortunate that such a thing happened, it became part of my combat experience.”

“I was actually pretty excited when I was kidnapped. I thought that I could finally practice.” Ye Jian pursed her lips slightly and revealed a shy smile. “Those were my thoughts then. But when I knew about the identities of the kidnappers, I actually panicked.”

She spoke calmly as always. She talked about her fear at the time, and also about her future plans. Every sentence and every look revealed her confidence.

“The military unit has trained me and hope that I can one day contribute to our country. I am just doing my best to give back to the country and the military unit for cultivating me.”

She spoke her mind and didn’t hesitate or think much.

Qin Xiu, who hadn’t left, listened quietly to her every sentence, concealing his shock with his calm expression.

She was just a senior high school student. But what she had said and done far exceeded anyone’s expectations or imagination. Even the Head thought so.
