4438 The Other Side 407
In the conference room.
The room was bathed in cold incandescent light.
With his back to the crowd, Gong Jie leaned back in his chair and looked at the information about the Sacred Temple on the big screen, lost in thought. Behind him, the crowd anxiously discussed.
âWhat should we do? Alice is still in the hands of those heretics!â
âThe Sacred Temple⦠weâre probably doomed this timeâ¦â
âItâs said that the headquarters of the Sacred Temple is in East Africa⦠That place itself is a war zone with cross-fire taking place everywhere. Letâs not talk about rescuing hostages, even entering that place and safely getting out is not an easy taskâ¦â
âIs Young Master Jie really going to rescue them personally?â
âIf so many people rush in at once and cause a huge commotion, it will be disadvantageous to the situationâ¦â
âThose heretics have spies everywhere. If they find out that the Hurricane Group has sent so many people, they will definitely fly into a rage and kill the hostagesâ¦â
Gong Jie shot them a cold glance. âAre you done talking?!â
Everyone was shocked into silence.
The man turned around and glanced expressionlessly at his subordinates sitting around the long table. He suddenly stood up and placed his arms on the tabletop with a serious expression.
âIâve decided. Vermillion Bird!â
The blonde woman immediately stood up. âYes.â
The man ordered, âYou, take fifty men and escort the goods to East Africa with me.â
âFifty men?â Vermillion Bird raised her eyebrows, looking a little worried. âYoung Master Jie, is fifty people really enough?â
âItâs enough. If there are too many people, it wonât be easy to keep things under control.â
On the contrary, fifty people were easy to command and would not attract attention too easily. Vermillion Bird understood what he meant and nodded.
âJed.â
âYes.â
âPrepare the order immediately.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jed did not wait for Gong Jie to finish his explanation before asking worriedly, âYoung Master Jie, are we really going to prepare the order according to their wishes?! Since when did the Hurricane Group allow these minions to lead us by the nose?â
Gong Jie frowned. âDid I say I was done speaking?â
Jed immediately looked down guiltily. He understood. âGot it. Iâll prepare it immediately!â
Vermillion Bird asked, âWhen do we leave?â
âWait for my instructions.â Gong Jie raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was about time he heard a reply from the Sacred Temple.
After leaving his fatherâs study last night, Gong Jie had received another email from the Sacred Temple, urging him to prepare the goods as soon as possible. The man laid down a condition of exchange. Before handing over the goods, he had to make sure that the hostages were safe.
Just as he had expected, the people of the Sacred Temple were very wary of this and rejected it outrightly. However, the man refused to be a pushover just because Hua Jin, Alice, and Natalia were in their hands.
