Chapter 1329: We Will Complete the Mission (2) The remainder of their salaries had been remitted to their bank accounts back in their country.
They didn’t put all their eggs into one basket. They had to ensure that they had some money back home for their families.
Ye Tianxin sat on the chair and pointed to the bag Luo Huayi was carrying.
“Let’s number each passport in the bag.”
Immediately, Tang Song understood what Ye Tianxin was trying to do.
“The numbers represent each person’s temporary identity. Other than their passport numbers, they had to remember this number.”
“There are many of us and there is only one counter for clearing the customs. There is also a long queue with other people waiting to cross the border. If we queue together with them, it will take us at least one day for everyone to finish clearing the customs. We cannot afford to waste time. It will delay our journey.”
“We can split everyone into smaller groups of ten. Everyone will be given a number. We can skip the queue at the customs counter based on what I just told the officer. They can help to arrange a special line for us to get through. This will save us a lot of time.”
“Also, the smaller groups only need to remember their ten members. It would be easy to distinguish them from those who are not from our group and foreigners who look like us from infiltrating into our group to cross the border.”
Tang Song thought that it was a brilliant idea and agreed with Ye Tianxin.
“Tang Song, you and Huayi will split the group into groups of ten. Assign a unique number to everyone...”
Tang Song replied, “Okay.”
“Huayi, when you are splitting them into groups, remember to split the young men and the old folks evenly in each group so they can take care of each other.”
......
“The old ladies have to be accompanied by the young men. We have to cross the desert, which can be a dangerous journey. They can watch out for each other.”
Ye Tianxin made a name list so she could match their passport numbers to the numbers they had been assigned.
Tang Song was observing Ye Tianxin the whole time.
He remembered how the woman at the office told her husband that she and the baby would not be alive if not for Ye Tianxin.
“Tianxin, have you been to this country before?”
“I was with the peacekeeping troops previously. When I was at the International Medical Assistance Camp, I saw that the pregnant lady needed help and decided to operate on her.”
“So you’ve learned medicine?”
Tang Song was astonished.
Ye Tianxin explained briefly, “Strictly speaking, that was my first operation. Professional doctors had to instruct me using a video call. They watched me do the operation on video. I was so lucky to operate on her successfully.”
Tang Song was shocked.
What kind of beginner’s luck was that?
Yang Song did not believe in luck.
He thought Ye Tianxin was capable of anything.
“Did you ever think that the operation may not be a success? What if it fails?” Tang Song wondered how did Ye Tianxin get the courage to attempt to operate on the lady with any prior experience.
Ye Tianxin replied confidently, “I won’t fail. There is no such word as failure in my dictionary.”
Ye Tianxin was arrogant and cocky.
Most people would detest such a presumptuous young girl.
Strangely enough, Tang Song did not seem to find her detestable. Instead, he admired Ye Tianxin.
