Commander Xia, who was sitting down, stood up. “Civil Harbor! Okay, I’ll get some comrades to arrive immediately! Please give my order to Ye Jian and have her think of ways to infiltrate this freighter!”
He raised his hand and looked at the time. Commander Xia used another landline phone to quickly answer Major General Yang’s call. “Major General Yang, send your forces to Jin City Port immediately! Ye Jian unintentionally discovered that someone has guns on a freighter there!”
“Yes!” Major General Yang, who was also in the military, agreed sternly. He hurriedly contacted Pigeon, White Crane, and the other six special forces members of the Xueyu unit.
At the same time, Mr. Fu heard Commander Xia urgently contacting the three parties on the phone. First, it was Major General Yang. Then, it was the National Defense and Military Disciplinary Committee.
After the three parties contacted each other, they called Mr. Fu again. “Major General Fu, our special forces will go to Jin City’s public port immediately. At the same time, we will block the coastline. Please pass on my order to Ye Jian immediately!
“The credibility of the information is 50%. Old Master Li mobilized his connections to let Li Chuhai escape. It’s indeed easier to escape from the port of Jin City, especially once he enters the international waters. The chances of him escaping are more than 70%!”
Mr. Fu felt that Li Chuhai might choose to escape from the port. The freighter that Ye Jian realized was problematic might be the one he would escape with.
If not, why would there be armed staff guarding it?
“The freighter will leave the port at 2:00 am. It’s 10:00 pm now. There are still four hours before the ship leaves, but it’s possible that it will leave the port early. Hence, please come to the port as soon as possible to provide support.” Mr. Fu’s back was almost tense. Although there was no change in his facial expressions, one could still tell that Mr. Fu wasn’t as calm as he looked.
Mr. Fu was left-handed, but his right hand could be used agilely too. Ye Jian was just like Mr. Fu in this aspect. During an emergency, one could tell that the father and daughter were both left-handed.
The entire call lasted for less than three minutes. When Mr. Fu and Commander Xia ended the call, the message asking Ye Jian to do everything she could to get on the ship was sent out.
The expressions of the leaders of the three academies were as solemn as dark clouds.
Although they didn’t know which military leader Major General Fu spoke to on the other end of the phone, it didn’t stop them from getting some clues through the three minutes of conversation.
“The military is chasing an important fugitive. Our preliminary judgment is that this person will escape from our country through the port at Civil Harbor. I suspect that the armed staff that the four students met might be the ones who are escorting the important fugitive.
“The military has already sent soldiers to support this operation. We can’t alarm the police. We don’t want to alert the enemy and cause the important fugitive to change his route. Now, Ye Jian needs to cooperate with the military. The other three students will return to the foreign guest reception center.”
The leaders of the Naval Command Academy and the Air Force Academy heaved a sigh of relief. However, before they could relax completely, they revealed serious expressions.
Ye Jian was a student from the National Science University. Why would she cooperate with the military? Why… Why did they make such an arrangement? 𝗳re𝗲𝚠e𝐛n𝗼v𝗲l.c𝐨𝐦
The other party had guns, while she didn’t have any weapons to protect herself.
Also, she was a second-year student. She only had the experience of exercising with the students of the school. She didn’t have any actual combat experience. How could the higher-ups let her participate in this operation?
It didn’t make sense!
The leader of the National Science University gritted his teeth. The third-year student was outstanding, but the second-year student, Ye Jian, was equally outstanding. How could there be such an unreasonable arrangement for Ye Jian to stay and face danger alone while waiting for reinforcements from the higher-ups?
