Chapter 69: Do Not Underestimate Ye Jian

The imperceptible approaching of Xia Jinyuan made Ye Jian get goosebumps. She was uncomfortable with this kind of close contact.

A pair of dry and big hands had reached over. Ye Jian pursed her lips, ignoring their distance. Her slender fingers gently touched his long fingers, forming the hand signals.

“Understand?” he asked gently as he withdrew his hands. He was so close that he was breathing next to her ear.

His breath was light, with a faint smell of mint.

Unaccustomed to the aggressive masculine smell, Ye Jian held her breath and tilted her head to avoid it. Pulling up Doctor Zhou who was squatting with her, she said in a soft voice, “Auntie, I’m going to knock. I might need to trouble you later.”

“All right, be careful,” said Doctor Zhou, who had sensed the presence of another person, but couldn’t see him clearly due to the darkness. Anyway, she felt much calmer.

Ye Jian raised her hands, knocking on the shutter door. “Who is the patient that needs my mom’s treatment? Where is he? Why is the door locked? We are leaving if no one is here.”

She raised her voice, adding, “Mom, let’s go. Uncle Youde must be drunk and joking with us.”

Footsteps sounded from the previously silent lobby. First, the glass door inside was opened. And then, as the shutter door was pulled upward, a man appeared.

“What’s going on? Is there a patient or not?!” spoke Doctor Zhou, emitting the smell of ethanol all over. “How can I see the patient during the blackout? Do you have candles or flashlights?”

As she spoke, Ye Jian had been walking towards the hotel. “It is so dark here. You should see the patient when Uncle Youde is back with the candles he bought,” said Ye Jian.

Perhaps it was too dark for Ye Jian to see clearly, she tripped over something, falling onto the man standing still as a gatekeeper.

Caught off guard, the man was pushed away by Ye Jian from the entrance. While he was cursing and Ye Jian apologizing to him, the soldiers hidden on both sides entered the hotel stealthily from the front gate.

On the back side of the building, two soldiers climbed deftly onto the second floor.

Xia Jinyuan did not enter the hotel right away. Hiding in the dark, he observed Ye Jian carefully, including her apology and her footsteps as she entered the hotel.

The instant when the man turned around to lead Doctor Zhou into the hotel, like a leopard, Xia Jinyuan dashed out violently, raising his hand to hit the back of the man’s neck fiercely.

“Don’t panic, Auntie.” Ye Jian gently comforted Doctor Zhou, who was extremely terrified that even her fingertips were cold. Holding Doctor Zhou’s hands, she said calmly to the darkness, “Why don’t you light a lamp or something? And where the hell is the patient?!”

Xia Jinyuan, who entered the hotel later, heard a man’s voice. “Why are you yelling? Wait for a second!”

This voice… Astonished, he raised his eyes abruptly, looking towards the darkness. The voice clearly belonged to the man knocked out by him!!

Just like him, Doctor Zhou was also astonished!

Footsteps came from upstairs. Someone said from above, “Brother Fei asked the doctor to come up. Brother Youde, can you watch over the little girl?”

“The girl says she must stay with her mom. Just let her go upstairs as well. Isn’t it nice to have her staying and talking with us?” Liao Youde’s voice came from Ye Jian’s mouth, making people feel the chills in the darkness.

Xia Jinyuan, who had realized what was going on, found the girl both funny and annoying. No wonder the girl was so bold. As the saying goes, the talented and skilled are fearless.

But where did the girl learn this brilliant trick from?
