NovelEnglishChapter 472: Why Is It You Again?
Ye Jian knew that there was only one thing in which she could make her own decisions, and that was when it was time to pull out her gun.
She chuckled, “Commissar, Commander Liu, please rest assured. I will not make mistakes.”
Ye Jian was quite confident in herself. She was the best at not making mistakes.
The two of them trusted her words. She was smart and enthusiastic. When she was quiet, her temperament was calm and distant. Like a landscape painting, she gave off a vibe that she was well-behaved and there was no need to worry about her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWell-behaved and conscientious, she had the honor to be tasked with an important role at such a young age. Even so, she was still able to maintain her composure and there was not a hint of pride and arrogance. Her calmness was enough to set their hearts at ease.
After Commander Liu and the commissar had said their piece, they asked the driver to leave the military area and head for the military guest house.
Tomorrow was their meeting and there was no need to go in at midnight.
Ye Jian carried her camouflage luggage in one hand and held onto her access pass and military letter on the other as she walked over to the sentry post.
It was half an hour past midnight, and there were sentries wearing military uniforms and holding QBZ-95s standing guard at the sentry post. One of them saw Ye Jian walking over and his gaze landed on her camouflage luggage. Although he didn’t point his muzzle at Ye Jian, he bellowed, “Military area, do not approach!”
The importance of sentinels was to psychologically deter enemies, gang members, and miscellaneous people, and to prevent them from sabotaging anything.
There was no live ammunition in their weapons, only five blanks.
Even so, anyone who saw the armed sentinels would be awestruck, and it would make the civilians feel safe and secure.
Ye Jian put her luggage at her feet and saluted, “Hello, I’m a student who came to the military area to report. This is the military letter and my access pass.”
She got out of the car and handed the military letter and access pass to the sentinel. With two rifles in front of her, what Ye Jian felt was not fear, but amiability.

This was the normal process. Ye Jian smiled slightly and stood by the side, listening to the sentinel to verify and confirm before she was let in.
Wasn’t someone supposed to pick me up at the sentry post? Why isn’t there anyone?
The military area was heavily guarded at midnight. The street lights were on, illuminating every corner of the military area, showing the mystery, the grandeur of the country’s majesty in the hazy night.
The national emblem at the center of the gate was illuminated by a snow-white lamp. It was the brightest scenery in the night and the most solemn one too.
Someone strode across the military area in a hurry, and his tall figure brought with it a stern temperament. Ye Jian looked at the figure coming out of the shadows, walking past the sentry post, and then towards her.
A familiar mint fragrance, a familiar face... And a familiar soft smile that made her heart tremble.
“You... are the one picking me up?” Ye Jian felt a bit silly after asking. Since he was the one that came out, he would naturally be the one picking her up.
Xia Jinyuan took her luggage from her hand and smiled while he raised his eyebrow, “That’s right. I’m the one picking you up.”
