“Ye Jian, 14 years old, eighth-grader, lost her parents at four years old.” The moment Soldier Liu Bing saw Ye Jian, he recognized her. When Xia Jinyuan inquired about her, he told him the information about Ye Jian briefly. “The villagers say that she is quite a miserable girl.”

Normally, without the protection from their parents, children would be more sophisticated and learn how to survive.

While looking at Ye Jian pa.s.sing through the forest with agility, Xia Jinyuan tightened his eyes.

Although she had an unfortunate family background, she showed no traces of trauma. Despite her difficulties, there was only resilience in her eyes.

It was hard for Ye Jian to ignore his glance, for it came from a man with a powerful presence.

When she turned around and looked at him, he calmly avoided eye contact. All she could see was his exquisite profile. He instructed the soldiers, “Send the coordinates back to the army. Seal the entrance to prevent anyone from coming to our enemies’ aid.”

They had identified their targets. It’s time to go and catch them.

And Ye Jian kept her promise. She stopped when they arrived at a certain range, “They should be in the front. I can still hear them.”

How did she even know that? None of the soldiers had heard any noises. Xia Jinyuan couldn’t help but tighten his eyes.

He raised his hand and motioned the soldiers to march forward. They searched the woods according to the direction pointed by Ye Jian.

They were indeed in front. The rustling of leaves caused by the movement of people was obviously different from the sound when the wind blew. I wonder if they have heard the differences. Ye Jian pursed her lips and thought.

Xia Jinyuan glided down from the slope. As his eyes swept through the scene, he found the marks left by the three criminal suspects.

A large area of the cut-open th.o.r.n.y bush was the most conclusive evidence that the criminals had pa.s.sed by this way.

How did she know the precise direction that the suspects chose?

And how was she aware that the suspects had stayed here?
