4433 The Other Side 402
Gong Shaoying’s expression was grave. “As long as we can protect Alice, we’ll protect her. After all, she’s a long-time staff of the Hurricane Group. As for the rest, don’t try too hard.”
Gong Jie’s expression turned even colder. He suddenly stood up and turned to look at Gong Shaoying. He said in no uncertain terms, “Hua Jin, Alice, and Natalia. Not one less.”
With that, he turned around and left the office.
…
!!“Kira, send me all the information about the Sacred Temple.” Gong Jie gave the order to investigate all information related to the Sacred Temple.
When Youyou heard that it might be the work of the Sacred Temple, his face turned pale with fear. He knew a lot about the sect.
“Uncle, do you know about the dark web?”
Gong Jie was a little surprised that the boy would make mention of this matter. “I know a little.”
The dark web was something that very few people living in peaceful countries would hear about during peaceful times. However, it was well-known.
He remembered that one time, there were rumors that an international student from a certain university had been kidnapped. It was said that the kidnapper had already noticed the victim for some time and had been lurking close to her. However, to date, no one knew if the victim was dead or alive or where she was.
Some people speculated that perhaps she had been moved to an unknown place by the kidnapper. Perhaps she was already dead, or perhaps… she was in a situation worse than death.
“Do you know how those videos on the dark web came about?”
“What are you getting at?”
Youyou frowned and said with a solemn expression, “On the dark web, there are many inhumane amputations, killing and experiments related to the human body… They all originate from the Sacred Temple. In fact, this matter is not known to outsiders. I only found out about it after intercepting the private emails of the Sect Master of the Sacred Temple.”
“Psssss…” Gong Jie gasped involuntarily. “Then… Hua Jin…” His first thought was the actor’s safety. Even the man did not realize that at such a critical moment, he was more concerned about the safety of Hua Jin than Natalia.
Youyou replied, “If it’s really the Sacred Temple, it’ll be tricky. However, I think that if it’s indeed them, they won’t harm Hua Jin. Perhaps they’ll use them as hostages to restrain the Hurricane Group and force it to meet some of their conditions.”
“Their condition could very well be the 50 million USD military firearms order.”
“Jim’s church can’t fork out that much money at all. They want to gain without taking any risks, so that’s what they came up with. However, I’m sure that no matter whether you produce the 50 million dollars’ worth of equipment, none of the four people will survive. Even if you really did produce 50 million dollars’ worth of equipment as an exchange, they won’t let them off.”
Gong Jie’s heart turned cold. Even though he had expected such a possibility.
