Chapter 3475: Locked

How could she not be afraid? He was right under her eyes, but he still managed to escape. Of course, she was afraid that he would run far away.

Ye Jian nodded, indicating that she was indeed afraid.

Xia Jinyuan lowered his gaze slightly. He saw that her hands were clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of her hands were about to pop out. He secretly reached out and wrapped his hand around the back of her hand. He rubbed his thumb slowly. “No matter how powerful Li Chuhai is, he’s still in the country. It might be difficult to catch him outside the country, but as long as he’s still in the country, he won’t fly too far away.

“From last night until now, the entire capital city has been locked down. Don’t worry, he won’t be able to go far.”

Perhaps it was because his palm was too warm or because of his firm tone, Ye Jian, who had always believed in him, looked up with trembling eyes.

She saw a pair of deep eyes staring at her with a faint smile. His gaze was warm and calm, as if with him around, all the problems would be solved.

Commander-in-chief Xia saw that Ye Jian’s tense expression was slowly calming down because of his son. It was his first time seeing this, so he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Could it be that the words of the commander-in-chief and her future father-in-law were not as good as Little Six’s?

It was really… Alas, he didn’t know what to say.

Ye Jian thought for a moment. That made sense. As long as Li Chuhai was still in the country, they didn’t have to be worried about not being able to catch him. With the military’s strength, if they couldn’t even catch a single person, then…

Ye Jian didn’t think too much about it. She adjusted her emotions secretly and sat up straight. As for… Xia Jinyuan’s hand that was wrapped around her, she couldn’t pull it off even if she wanted to.

He wanted to play some cheap shots under the eyes of the commander-in-chief. He wrapped her tightly too. It would take some effort to pull his hand off. If she moved her arm, the commander-in-chief’s burning eyes would see through her. It would be even more awkward.

Xia Jinyuan smiled secretly when he saw that she didn’t dare to move. When he received Commander Xia’s glare, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked calm.

Commander Xia didn’t glare at them because he noticed their positions. He just felt that Xia Jinyuan was an eyesore. He was surprised that he had such an influence on Ye Jian.

The commander-in-chief didn’t notice their small actions. Major General Yang, who knocked on the door because of an urgent matter and pushed the door open immediately, noticed it.

He pushed open the door and entered. Xia Jinyuan, who was sitting opposite the commander-in-chief, quickly retracted his hand from Ye Jian. As for Ye Jian, her expression was obviously stiff. She didn’t need to look at Xia Jinyuan to know that the two of them had been caught red-handed.

Normally, Major General Yang would tease them. However, he didn’t have the time or mood to tease them now. He pretended that he didn’t notice anything and strode in. “Commander-in-chief, we’ve already locked onto Li Chuhai’s general direction. After he received the signal, he immediately escaped. He didn’t have any time to prepare, but he seemed to have been ready. As long as something happened, he would escape immediately.

“Because he was ready at any time, he didn’t even need to do any preparations if something really happened. He left immediately after receiving the signal. He didn’t even waste a second.”

Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan stood up at the same time and leaned to the sides of the desk so that Major General Yang could stand in front of Commander Xia and report.

“This person is very well-prepared. Now, we suspect that the place he escaped to has a certain amount of illegal power. Although the range has been locked down, we still need to evacuate the nearby villagers.”

Commander Xia frowned when he heard Major General Yang’s report.
