Chapter 39 - Girl (2/2)

Although they were whispering, Xia Jinyuan had noticed them.

He glanced towards their direction and looked at Ye Jian’s face for about half a second. His eyes dimmed a little. So, this girl was a student of Cla.s.s Two Grade Eight.

“Although you are only students, the espionage from abroad are making significant efforts to render you rebels from our country,” said Xia Jinyuan. With amus.e.m.e.nt in his eyes, he paused while looking at a certain direction. With his right hand rested on the podium, he swiftly made a gesture towards the other two soldiers using his left hand.

Concentrated, Ye Jian looked at the direction where Xia Jinyuan was staring. Meanwhile, she tried to see who his ‘target’ was from the corner of her eye.

While she was at it, Xia Jinyuan spoke up suddenly, “The third student counting from the back of Group Five. Can you answer my question I just addressed? What are the usual methods that spies use to lure students?”

The third student counting from the back of Group Five. Wasn’t that Ye Jian?

The moment Ye Jian was asked to answer the question, 60 or so students looked at her, bewildered.

Ye Jian realized that Xia Jinyuan had made that gesture to distract her so that she wouldn’t be alarmed.

Being stared at by the whole cla.s.s, she stood up with a smile and said slowly, “Aiding students who are looking for jobs, inviting students to partic.i.p.ate in researches, and paying students for projects. The spies lure students into traps by conducting such seemingly normal occurrences.”

“Well done. That’s correct. Sit down, please.” Xia Jinyuan pursed his lips and said. The girl had listened to me carefully. Besides, she might have understood my gesture. What an intelligent and cautious girl.
