“Freeze!” yelled the soldiers. Doctor Zhou, drenched in cold sweat, leaned against the wall and sat on the cold floor slowly.

Wind was blowing out from the room without a door. Ye Jian, who was previously relieved, became slightly nervous. Why was the night wind blowing from the room with its windows closed?

As if something had occurred to her, she screamed, “Xia Jinyuan! Downstairs!!” Meanwhile, she dashed towards the first floor like a flying arrow.

She was acting so fast that Xia Jinyuan couldn’t find a chance to speak.

While he was chasing after Ye Jian, he pressed his earpiece to hear his comrades deployed at the back of the building reporting the situations. He instructed them in a deep voice, “Control the targets and escort them out of here tonight! Battalion Commander Yang, inform the power supply bureau to resume the power.”

Within ten seconds after his instruction, following a transient flickering of the electric lamps, the power was restored to the entire Fujun Town.

Xia Jinyuan slowed down his chasing pace as he arrived at the brightly lit hotel lobby. Quietly, he looked at the slender figure standing at the entrance to the hotel.

He didn’t start walking slowly towards her until a while later. Smiling, he said, “Weren’t you brilliant just now? Why are you upset all of a sudden?”

Alas, she was just a little girl. Amazing as she was, she was still a child after all.

And her emotions were as mercurial and unpredictable as the sky in June.

Ye Jian had recognized his footsteps as he chased her to the first floor.

She remained silent for a while. Sighing gently, she raised her black and bright eyes to gaze at him, “I’ve seen the gap. The gap between you and me.”
