Chapter 293 - Chewing Gum On The Bamiyan Buddha (1/2)

The bodies of over a hundred Islamic militants were abandoned in the valley to becoh the canyon and onward on their way Several of the White Rock Tribe had died in this battle and two of the Bureau 101 agents were sacrificed There was no avoiding this as battles meant lost lives This was actually also the best result If it had not been for Xia Lei and his personally modified sniper rifle, all of them would have died there; not one would have left the canyon alive

Kabir and his men abandoned one of the pickup trucks One now led in front and one stayed at the back to cover the end This was the advantage of having paid theh half of theuide and bodyguards However, this was not because of work ethics but because the balance of 500,000 had not been paid yet

Tang Yu-Yan drove their car right behind the leading vehicle She watched the road and occasionally glanced over at Xia Lei in the passenger seat For some inexplicable reason, every time she looked at hi between his legs Her face turned strangely red because of this and she felt embarrassed and ashamed

Xia Lei, on the other hand, did not notice all this He held a ed to Tang Yu-Yan and a red mark circled an area on the map, deep in Bamiyan Valley It was about 150 kilometres away from the famed Bamiyan Buddhas The circle-mark was the destination for this rescue et there at nightfall, no incidents peroing back if we can’t use the e’ve come?” Xia Lei broke the silence in the car

“You don’t have to worry about this Didn’t I tell you? Every mission has several plans and this o back the e cahanistan borders our land and the Wakhan Corridor was part of the old Silk Road too We can go back through there,” said Tang Yu-Yan

“Oh” Xia Lei aze returned to thesilently to hihanistan It’s possible that he knows that I’ve been in battle Will he take the initiative to appear and meet me? If he doesn’t, then where could he be…?’

These questions plagued hi on your ly

Xia Lei put thethe next 500,000 to Kabir”

Tang Yu-Yan shook her head “We cannot lose his trust Hoe ith theo back the e ca 500,000 We have no lack of money - we just lack friends” She then rolled her eyes at Xia Lei “You really are a miser Are all businessmen like this?”

Xia Lei just s Yu-Yan and he had done it

At that unner on the pickup truck in front suddenly started shouting and looked rather panicky Xia Lei did not understand what he said but Tang Yu-Yan cried out in alarm, “American drones!”

Xia Lei was alarmed He stuck his head out theand looked up in the sky A flying object had indeed appeared and it was about 3,000 une of it but Xia Lei could see it clearly It was an Auided missiles He also made out the Stars and Stripes on the drone and all its military unit numbers and serial number

What would come, would come This was a battlefield doht’s defeatdown

“Hit it down!” Tang Yu-Yan issued the order

A Bureau 101 agent climbed out of a Ford Raptor behind them He had a surface-to-air missile launcher mounted on his shoulder

The drone in the air abruptly increased altitude and flew to one side

“It’s gone” The Bureau 101 agent’s voice cae to lock-on to it in time”

“Stay in the vehicle Keep on the alert in case it co Yu-Yan

The drone did not fly fast and it would be difficult for it to avoid being shot down if so it ed

Xia Lei wrinkled his brows “It doesn’t seem its aim was to attack us It had a chance to shoot at us but it didn’t It uys ht Think we can be bullied? If it dares show itself again I’ll have it shot down” A trace of arrogance appeared between Tang Yu-Yan’s brows

Xia Lei did not engage in conversation He watched the sky with a brooding expression

Things had got to this point He was increasingly sure that the CIA had ht, and the drone earlier were all targeting him The drone had not fired its explosives earlier not because the person from the CIA was kind-hearted but because they wanted hiht, a familiar face appeared in Xia Lei’s head He let out an internal sigh ‘The CIA wants to catchSi-Yao A woet in this lifeti Si-Yao took part in this mission and they met on the battlefield - would she fire at hiain The shoulder-mounted aircraft-missile launcher was at the ready and the drone would definitely be turned into scrap ain However, Xia Lei believed that the CIA would track his h American military satellites even if the drone did not come to check on him
