The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family -
Chapter 2662
Charlie asked Faizal, "Don't you have a unilingual practice here?"
Faizal shook his head and said, "If we were to be unilingual, we should be speaking Arabic. However, the composition of the opposition force's soldiers is more complicated, and many of us do not speak Arabic." 2
"Some of these people have been living in other countries ever since they were young. Some of them lived in former colonial areas, so they have been speaking English or French ever since they were young. So, the language and communication between all of the soldiers are not entirely smooth and easy."
"Take me for instance. I actually went to the United States with my parents when I was very young, and I even got a green card. I served in the US Army for three years. I only responded to a call and came back to join the Freedom Army just a few years ago. So, my command of the Arabic language is very poor, and I can essentially only communicate in English." 2
Charlie nodded. This kind of multilingual situation was just like India. A considerable number of Indians did not speak Hindi. Moreover, each state in India had its own official language. Also, since it was once a British colony, English was one of its official languages.
Nevertheless, this kind of language confusion was very beneficial for Charlie. The more confusing the language landscape was, the easier it would be for him to mix in with the others. 3
So, Charlie told Faizal, "After we go in later, remember to use your own judgment to act as the circumstances dictate. Do not let anyone get suspicious or find any clues at all."
Faizal hurriedly replied, "You can rest assured that I will certainly give it my best!"
Charlie hummed slightly before he pointed at the courtyard door and said, "Let's go in, then!"
"Okay!"
Faizal stepped forward before he pushed the courtyard door open.
There were more than a dozen soldiers who were carrying AK47s standing around a campfire to keep warm as they grilled some meat inside the courtyard at this time. Two lamb legs were skewered on wooden sticks and held over the campfire. At this time, the lamb legs were already roasted to the point of perfection, and it smelled extremely delicious.
Charlie followed Faizal into the courtyard. One of the soldiers instantly recognized Faizal, and he blurted out, "Captain Faizal, would you like to have some barbecued meat? Anasala's mother also made some pita bread. It will be ready soon."
Faizal waved his hand and said, "I will not be eating. I simply came here to take a look at the hostage situation."
As soon as the man heard these words, he immediately grinned as he said, "Captain Faizal, you must be interested in those women, right? However, I have to make it clear to you that the commander has already given his order that no one is allowed to fool around without his permission!" 3
Faizal immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense! I simply came here to check out the situation so that I can go back and report to the commander. Why don't you hurry up and open the entrance of the cellar now?!"
The man hurriedly nodded before he greeted another soldier. After that, the both of them bent over and lifted a thick wooden board from the ground.
Immediately afterward, a staircase that was made out of loess appeared under the wooden board. The man said respectfully to Faizal, "Captain Faizal, please go i n!"
Faizal nodded in satisfaction before he brought Charlie to the entrance with him. After that, the man took out a flashlight. After turning on the flashlight, the man said attentively, "Captain Faizal, there is no light on the staircase, and it is quite dark. I will lead the way in front. Watch your steps!"
Faizal glanced at Charlie, and when he saw Charlie secretly nodding to signal him, Faizal immediately agreed and said, "Okay, then! You can lead the way up front!" 11
