Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Ye Jian had no idea that she and Xia Jinyuan would take the same flight. After the accident involving Ye Ying, although Ye Jian and the rest of the students still enjoyed their trip, the teachers could not put their minds at ease.

The trip was supposed to end at noon. However, it ended at nine in the morning.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Zhu left with several students of the township middle school. Ye Jian didn’t see Ye Ying with them. Where had she gone? Even Gao Yiyang remained silent without asking this question.

Not long after Mrs. Zhu left, Ye Jian and the other students boarded the bus, heading to the airport.

They checked in for the flight at 8:30 PM. Within half an hour after the plane took off, most of the passengers began to fall asleep. After chatting with Yang Ye, the girl next to her, for a while, Ye Jian fell asleep as well.

Ye Jian didn’t know for how long she had been sleeping before Yang Ye’s murmuring woke her up. As she looked at the time, she saw that it was one in the morning, which was six hours before landing.

Ye Jian picked up Yang Ye’s blanket and helped put it on her. She got up gently and went to the bathroom.

Someone politely knocked the door twice while Ye Jian was washing her hands in the bathroom. She drew out some paper to wipe her hands and opened the door…

A black shadow with the deftness of a leopard squeezed himself into the small bathroom.

Ye Jian reacted swiftly as well. As she discovered something was wrong with the man, she lifted her right leg, kicking the man on his knee.

”This is the way you greet me? I am flattered.” said the man slowly in a mocking way. Ye Jian was familiar with this voice as well as his faint mint smell.

The mint smell was low-key and refreshing, just like the person who was carrying it.

Ye Jian’s right leg was aiming at his knee. As she moved her leg sideways, it stroked his shank. And then, she took it back.

Ye Jian moved aside so that Xia Jinyuan could squeeze himself further in the bathroom and that she could close the bathroom door.

As soon as he stepped inside, Ye Jian regretted it…

The bathroom on the plane was a small space which could shelter one person only. After he came into the bathroom, it became so crowded that Ye Jian was considering to stand on the toilet lid.

As if Ye Jian had blocked the disgusting smell of disinfectant, every breath she drew in, all she could smell was the scent that belonged to him. As a person with a sensitive sense of smell, Ye Jian couldn’t help but slightly hold her breath.

She felt a bit awkward to be with him alone, especially in such a small space.

On the other hand, Xia Jinyuan was fine with the narrow space. He found it amusing when he saw Ye Jian’s expression, which suggested that she was hoping to stand on the toilet lid.

”Girl, you went to sleep within half an hour after the plane took off. I would have to come over to wake you up if you were still asleep.” said Xia Jinyuan. He gazed at Ye Jian with a stern look in his black eyes. ”Read these documents in two minutes before handing them back to me.”

The documents were pictures.

They were the pictures of four people, including two foreign men in blond hair and blue eyes, a dark-skinned Vietnamese man from the Can Tho City, and a man from China. Detailed introductions of the men was attached below the pictures.

Ye Jian fixated her eyes on the picture of the Vietnamese. Tightening her eyes, she said, ”Mercenary?”

”He was a soldier who participated in the Battle to Defend South Xinjiang. After he retired from military services, he became a teacher in school but he was caught patronizing hookers later. And he has been a mercenary since then.” said Xia Jinyuan. He took over the picture handed over by her and put it in his pocket. ”His codename is Red Scorpion. And he has the experience of fighting on battlefields.

He has killed four soldiers sent by the Vietnamese government.”
