“East China?!” The Indian boy who Charlie said was smart said disdainfully: “East China is even more impossible! East China to here is, not less than 7,000 kilometers, how did you fly over in such a short time? On a rocket?”
As he said, he sneered again: “Furthermore, as everyone knows, Syria has not resumed navigation due to the war. If you want to get from China to Syria, you must first fly to neighboring countries, and then transfer to land transportation. Even if you use the shortest route and don’t delay for a minute, according to my estimation, you will have at least twenty hours to arrive, but we haven’t been captured for twenty-four hours until now. Do you have the ability of an unknown prophet? So, if you want me to say, you are lying!”
Charlie shook his head helplessly, looked at Melba, and asked, “Is this guy always like this?”
Melba’s expression was a little embarrassed at once, but also a little hesitant.
In fact, she was not sure about Charlie’s identity, and she couldn’t believe what Charlie said.
Moreover, listening to his voice face-to-face is somewhat different from what she and he talked through their mobile phones in the WeChat communication.
In addition, Charlie didn’t reveal his identity, so she was a little unpredictable at once.
After all, the speculation made by her partner just now is not unreasonable. Charlie’s statement is somewhat contrary to logic, both in terms of time and space.
At this time, the clever guy continued: “Tell you, our SEAL team strives to be 100% successful every time it performs a mission, so they will definitely formulate a comprehensive rescue plan first, and then perform the scalpel. The rescue operation! I believe they will rescue us after some time!”
Charlie sneered and said: “Okay, stop this nonsense, you can pull a calf when you open your mouth, right?”
“I tell you the truth, the news that you guys were captured is not reported by the European and American media at all!”
