He didn’t say it out loud, for he was afraid she might be startled. He handled her carefully as if she was a precious pearl.

Xia Jinyuan’s voice had the power to penetrate darkness and… calm one’s heart.

Ye Jian thought to herself as she lightly blinked her eyes. She saw the worried look on his handsome face and let out a breath which seemed to be stained with blood. “I am okay. That was my first time, I am still trying to recover from that.”

When she killed two guards for the first time, she was forced to overlook her fears and finish the enemy for Gao Yiyang’s and her own safety.

Though she was fully prepared this time with Red Scorpion, she still overestimated herself.

Ye Jian stretched out her hands, tightly grabbed on his hands and smiled wryly. “Captain Xia, I want to take off the mask and catch my breath. It’s uncomfortable with sweat in my eyes.” During her usual training, she could tolerate the sweat in her eyes, but now, it all seemed unbearable.

Since there was no smoke in the room, it was safe for her to get some fresh air.

Her light voice struck Xia Jinyuan deeply. This girl had been so tough that it was heartbreaking to see.

“Okay, take it off and get some fresh air,” he said softly as he gestured his comrades to open the window and let some fresh air flow in.

Xu Yu and the rest heard her words, as well as the trembles under her composure.

A fourteen-year-old girl should be wearing beautiful flowery dresses with her hair tied up high and cherished by her parents like a precious pearl.

But instead, this little girl comforted the men first, even though she was obviously frightened herself.

K7 turned around and opened the tightly closed window. The night breeze flew in and blew away the bloodstained air.

Perhaps only fresh air could comfort this fourteen-year-old soldier.

Once she took off her mask, Xia Jinyuan’s heart felt pricked by needles as he saw her pale face and lifeless lips. “Come on, let’s get down and sit here to catch some fresh air. It’s too small in the vent and it’s uncomfortable to lay on your stomach.”

It pained him to see a girl like her grow up to be so tough and strong without any affection and protection from her parents.

Softly rubbing her eyes and taking in some fresh air, she began to recover and started moving outward.

As soon as she popped her head out, she sensed that she was being intensely watched by several people.

Looking down, she saw many soldiers of the same height and three young soldiers in Special Operation Army uniforms. They were all staring at her.

As they looked, the closely shut door suddenly swung open. Two Vietnamese soldiers walked in and brought smoke and tear gas into the room.

Without her mask, Ye Jian felt a piercing pain in her eyes and tears began to come down like heavy rain within a few seconds.

Xia Jinyuan’s eyes sharpened and yelled coldly, “Fall back!”

His voice contained military power and irresistible deterrent, making the Vietnamese soldiers unconsciously back out to the engine room behind the closet.

K7 walked over, flipped a switch somewhere and secured the closet shut. Then he said, “Help her get down first and take her to the hospital for a full checkup.”
