Gu residence.

Lying on the bed, Chu He rested her head on her arms as she looked at the night sky. Her thoughts were in chaos. Oddly, her eyelids suddenly twitched.

After Gu Jinglian left, she had inexplicably suffered from insomnia for two nights. She tossed and turned until midnight before she would fall asleep. When she woke up the next day, she went to work early and returned home exhausted. At night, she had insomnia again for no reason!

It had been like this for the past two days, and she was exhausted from the torture.

For some reason, she had a bad gut feeling.

The day following Gu Jinglian’s departure to North Africa, the news reported that the battle in North Africa was gradually expanding and the peacekeeping force was showing signs of intervening.

Since the war began, North Africa has been divided into three regions. One was the war zone, one was the neutral zone, and the other was the peace zone.

However, the war had now spread to the neutral zone, and the Gu family’s factories were all located in the neutral zone. If the firing zone spread, it would probably affect the Gu family’s businesses.

It was said that several airports in North Africa had been blown to ruins. All flight routes had been closed and international traffic ceased! This meant that many people could not leave North Africa by plane. If they did not leave in time, they would become sacrificial objects for war.

This war had caused heavy casualties to the civilians, and the foreigners had already begun to evacuate. Many people from developed countries left early.

The Chinese side had also started to evacuate the Chinese. Many Chinese factories in North Africa had now been evacuated, leaving behind empty buildings. The Chinese were all gathered at the national embassy, awaiting evacuation orders.

The naval force responsible for the evacuation was already rushing towards several major ports in North Africa and was expected to complete the evacuation within three days.

Then… what about Gu Jinglian?

If he continued to stay in North Africa, his life would be in danger.

Even though, admittedly, he was a rather tough man, even the most powerful mercenary was no match for him. However, this was an era of firearms. No matter how tough one’s body was, it would not be able to withstand cannon and bullets.

Chu He had asked Butler Fu about Gu Jinglian, but Butler Fu informed her that the communications had been cut off and there was no way to contact the person in charge of the factory.

There was no news…

This meant that there was much uncertainty around Gu Jinglian’s situation.

Chu He was upset. Oddly, while she obviously hated this man, yet at this juncture, she was actually worried for him! Chu He turned around and hugged the pillow. She closed her eyes and forced herself not to think too much.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Butler Fu rushed in anxiously and said in a panic, “Chu He! Something’s happened!”

Startled, Chu He sat up on the bed and looked at him in a daze. When she noted Butler Fu’s panicky expression, her uneasiness grew!

…

“What is it?”

“I received news that the Gu family’s business in North Africa has been taken over by the Hurricane Group. All the employees who stayed behind in the factory have been driven out! I also heard that… all the mercenaries who were accompanying Old Master are… dead!”

“Dead!?”

“Uh huh.”

Butler Fu nodded and said in a trembling voice, “I heard that the old master signed an agreement. When the negotiation ended, the dozens of mercenaries that he brought along were all killed on the spot…”

Chu He was dumbfounded.

“What should we do? Chu He?! The signal has been cut off. We have no idea where Old Master is…”
