After glancing at the room, Xia Jinyuan immediately withdrew from the infirmary and said to Battalion Commander Yang outside, “His condition is temporarily stable. Let’s talk about the situation here.”

“Jianyuan met suspicious people at the Chunyang Grand Hotel at the corner of the street. One of them had the Hongkou City accent and was injured.” Battalion Commander Yang quickly relayed the information that he had gained. “We won’t know more details until the wounded soldier is awake.”

Xia Jinyuan turned around. His deep eyes glanced at the infirmary with the surgical light on, and with his lips pursed, he said in a deep voice, “When did she learn to deal with gunshot wounds?” She was acting quite skillful that it seemed like she had been dealing with gunshot wounds frequently.

“Captain Xia, are you referring to the Jian girl? This girl is very versatile and has a good memory. She has been in the army for quite a time. It is probably during this period that she has learned something about gunshot wounds.”

For fear that he might upset this formidable Captain Xia, Battalion Commander Yang immediately added, “The military surgeon said that she had no problems and that she was not allowed to go to the operating table until she had known about all the medical devices.”

Xia Jinyuan looked at Battalion Commander Yang, who seemed nervous, and said with a subtle smile, “She is indeed quite intelligent.”

As indicated by his watch, it was already 8:37 PM. Putting on his combat helmet and fastening the safety buckle, he said to Battalion Commander Yang, “Tonight, the camp area should be more heavily guarded. Don’t let the girl run out.”

“If I don’t run out, do you know who the suspects are?” Ye Jian, walking out of the infirmary and taking off her mask, smiled gently at Xia Jinyuan who was standing in the darkness. “Of course, if you do know who they are, then I don’t need to leave the camp.”

Why had this girl been acting like a little hedgehog since he tested her in school last time?

Xia Jinyuan turned around again. As he smiled at the hedgehog-like girl, a beautiful curve formed around the corners of his lips. “Girl, can you tell me? We need to know everything about the suspects, including their heights, facial features, and other characteristics.”

He figured that he should act like a gentleman and be more compliant with the sensitive girl.

Ye Jian, who held no grudges against Xia Jinyuan, ignored his graceful demeanor. Instead, she said to Battalion Commander Yang, “Uncle Yang, please wait a moment, I will come back in five minutes.”

After finishing her words, Ye Jian ran to the dormitory where she slept.

Turning on the lights, spreading out sheets of paper, and picking up a pencil, Ye Jian closed her eyes slightly, recalling the scenario at the hotel entrance around eight o’clock.

Speeding motorcycles, glaring headlights, charming and smiling waitresses, gloomy men… and that heavily-accented yelling of “get out of my way”.

The scene in her mind was fixed on the faces of the five people. She started to draw on her exercise book with her pencil.

Ye Jian had drawn their facial forms and features… She even painted out their hairstyles.

She painted very fast, without any pause or any trace to redraw. Two minutes later, a portrait was finished.

A pair of slender hands quietly took away the finished sketch for her, and the owner of the hands just studied the drawing carefully, without disturbing Ye Jian.

Slightly lowering his deep-as-the-sea black eyes, Xia Jinyuan looked at the girl concentrating on painting under the desk lamp. She didn’t notice his presence at all. A very subtle smile appeared in Xia Jinyuan’s eyes.

The girl was indeed quite good looking, and her thick eyelashes were like crow feathers. When she didn’t speak, she was beautiful and elegant, with an intelligent temperament.

But as she opened her mouth, the look in her eyes was a bit cold, and she did not seem like a 14-year-old girl.
