On their way back to the hotel, they unexpectedly encountered a suicide bombing attack at a street-side vegetable market. They were almost caught in the blast, but Chen Feng reacted quickly enough to pull Zhu Fangmei to safety in time. It was then that Zhu Fangmei truly understood the dangers of Afghanistan; it was nothing like what she saw on television.
Fortunately, the place where Jiang Dongsheng's daughter was being held was not the IS headquarters, but rather a building that they had occupied. It's possible they hadn't moved Jiang's daughter yet, likely not expecting someone to boldly attempt a rescue.
Zhu Fangmei was startled when she saw Chen Feng didn't plan to meet up with his people to devise a strategy before taking action; instead, he was going straight for the rescue. She estimated that inside the building, there were at least several dozen armed militants, all wielding heavy weapons. Just the two of them attacking would be like poking a hornet's nest!
