"Miss Betty, I have untied myself just now. So please believe me. I will protect you." As she tied herself back up, she urged Betty, who hadn't reacted yet. "We will definitely leave this place. We won't stay here."
It wasn't until Ye Jian's reminder that Betty finally gave a reaction. She was surprised. Before she could even speak, the door was flung open with a bang and two al-Qaeda members came in with guns.
Then, the lights were turned on. Ye Jian, who was facing the door, saw two al-Qaeda members with guns walking towards them. Then, Pabel came in.
She looked at Ye Jian and spoke after a minute. "Please forgive us for being impolite, my friend from China. Although we welcome you here, we can't help but bring you with us. Believe me, if the government is willing to cooperate with us, your life would not be in danger."
She didn't mention Betty because she was her most important hostage. Kidnapping Ye Jian was just additional bargaining chips for her.
