Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
K7’s extremely serious obsession caused Xia Jinyuan and G3 to keep quiet. After some time, Xia Jinyuan said in a slightly serious tone, “Do you think that fellow will die of thirst?”
After he finished speaking, there was another long silence before G3 sighed and replied, “Maybe. That’s why we need to be quick. Based on my understanding of him, he doesn’t drink other people’s water, doesn’t sleep with other people, doesn’t share utensils with others… Oh my god! In the past, I never felt that something would happen to him. Now, I feel that his obsession might kill him!”
Brutal beatings, pressing his head in water, snakes, insects, rats, ants, all kinds of medicines including cardiac stimulants, drugs, capsaicin… They were confident that K7 would be able to pull through everything but they were worried that he would die in the hands of his own obsession.
Die from thirst… he wouldn’t do that, right?
The two of them thought about this silently all the way until G3’s phone rang. This was the phone he used to contact the military.
There was no caller ID. G3 picked up the call and before he could open his mouth, Major General Lu’s voice sounded from the other side. “Have you met up with Q King?”
…
Why did he sound as though he was going to reprimand Q King? What did Q King do… that could make Major General Lu reprimand him?
As a Special Forces soldier, G3 was extremely sensitive. He noticed something amiss with just one sentence.
He glanced at Xia Jinyuan and said, “Report, Q King is driving.”
“You replace him and drive. I have something to tell him.” The major general drank three cups of cold water before he was able to suppress the flames of anger in his heart. Then, he thought about it in Xia Jinyuan’s shoes and decided that he wouldn’t penalize Xia Jinyuan for not listening to commands.
G3 covered the mouthpiece and leaned back slightly. He asked Xia Jinyuan softly, “Q King, what bad things did you do? The major general called me.”
“Nothing. I just hung up on him.” Xia Jinyuan was driving on the left lane so he slowly moved to the right lane. Ye Jian wasn’t beside him now so it was alright to pick up the major general’s call.
“We are on the expressway now. We still need to find a temporary parking space so please give us some time. Over.” G3 gave a thumbs up to Q King who dared to hang up on the major general. At the same time, he reported their current situation to the major general.
The major general acknowledged his reply and continued, “Remain in contact. if you dare to hang up my call again, I will punish you by military law.”
…
Fortunately, his hand was slow and he didn’t end the call. G3 felt that he was lucky. He was prepared to throw this hot potato out anytime.
He didn’t have Q King’s guts. He didn’t dare to hang up on the major general.
Xia Jinyuan stopped the car at a temporary parking space and took G3’s phone. “I’m Q King.”
“Little brat, you’re getting bold! How dare you hang up on me?” The major general was still emitting smoke from his nose. However, in comparison, his voice was… slightly gentler. Xia Jinyuan was a proud person. If someone went up against him, the more stubborn he would be.
A tiger needed to be stroked. He would stroke the fur of this tiger now!
His voice turned deep again as the major general persuaded, “I know what you’re afraid of but you need to trust Ye Jian. All of us trust her. How can you not trust your comrade? Ye Jian is not just anybody. She’s your comrade!”
“K7 is not just anybody too. He’s Ye Jian’s comrade! K7 is in danger now and Ye Jian will not be a bystander. All of us hope that she can participate in this mission. Why does your unit need a female soldier?”
“I’m sure that you know the reason clearly. Female soldiers have characteristics that male soldiers like you don’t have. She could lower the vigilance of the ST mercenary team and this will give unexpected results.”
“Ye Jian is calm, mature, courageous, and resolute. There’s a low possibility that she will get distracted. If she participates in the rescue mission, the military will have more confidence in your safe return.”
