  After he said this, the others could be seen obviously trembling with fear.

  Hearing this, Chu He frowned. She had a bad feeling. Wirth had been taken over by the Hurricane Group. What about Gu Jinglian?

  She had scanned the crowd but did not see him. A man who was so eye-catching, even if he was thrown into a crowd, he would be easily noticed. And even if she did not notice him, he would have stood up and made his presence known when he saw her. But he was nowhere to be seen.

  Which meant he wasn’t here.

  Chu He asked again, “Do you think all the employees of Wirth are here?”


  The man hurriedly explained, “No, there are only two-thirds of them here. There are still the rest of them, more than a hundred of them, trapped in the war zone. When they left Wirth, the rebel army had already occupied the entire Beria. That side has already been sealed off by the rebel army. It’s the center of the war…”


  “I need to locate someone now.” Chu He continued, “His name is Gu Jinglian. Where is he now? Is he also trapped in the battle zone?”


  The people looked at each other in shock.

  That person asked in surprise, “Gu Jinglian, isn’t… isn’t that our boss?”


  “That’s right, President of the Gu Group. Why are you looking for our boss?”


  Chu He said, “He is my husband.”


  “…”


  “I heard that North Africa has fallen, so I came here to look for him.” Chu He straightened her posture and looked around. “I need someone familiar with Jamal’s terrain to take me to the warzone to locate him. Is there anyone willing to come with me?”


  “Don’t go!”


  That person immediately said, “Miss, I don’t know if what you said is true. At least, I’ve never heard that our boss has a wife… The problem is that the warzone is filled with rebel soldiers. The streets are filled with corpses and soldiers. If you go there now, you won’t be locating anyone, you’ll be courting death! Moreover, all of Wirth’s men who can escape have already escaped. The rest are trapped in the middle of the warzone. Their statuses are unknown. The chances of survival are very slim. If you go now, you’ll only be risking your life…”


  “My man is not that fragile. Your boss won’t die that easily either.”


  Chu He was very confident in Gu Jinglian. Now that there was no news of him, it was sufficient to prove that he was still alive. As long as he was alive, she had a reason to take risks!

  “No one will dare to go with you!”


  The man had a timid expression on his face as he trembled and said, “Those rebel soldiers are too brutal! No matter who they see, be it white people, Chinese people, or civilians, they will all be shot to death! It only means that if we were to go now, we would die! It had not been easy for us to escape from Wirth. We won’t take any more risks!”


  Chu He did not force him to agree with her attitude. After all, it seemed to be human instinct to fear death.

  After experiencing despair, he yearned for survival even more.

  “Alright, I’ll go by myself then.”


  Just as Chu He turned to leave, a calm voice came from behind, “I’ll go with you.”


  Her steps faltered. As she turned around, she saw a lean boy slowly rise from the crowd. His white clothes were stained with dust and blood, and his delicate face was similarly stained with blood that had long since dried. However, unlike other youths of his age, under his timid expression, his eyes were like stars, and he bore a determined expression…… The look in his eyes was not fear, but stubbornness, even… hatred.
