Chapter 2423: He is my family.
On another occasion, an insurgency broke out in an African country. Gong Jie was escorting a shipment of goods to its destination when he was besieged by armed militants. Both sides suffered dearly from the crossfire; they kidnapped and beheaded one of his most highly regarded subordinates, which drove him mad.
He paid quite the heavy price even though he eventually blasted the rebels’ den into smithereens.
What was even more distressing and heartbreaking was that he had lost a highly capable and trusted subordinate.
Dangerous?
Of course, it is.
In fact, every part of it is perilous.
All mommy knows is that uncle often stayed at the hospital to look after grandpa. What she doesn’t know is that Hurricane Group has dispatched a dozen mercenaries to guard every corner of the hospital to ensure uncle’s safety.
One has to pay a price in order to become strong.
The man had once admitted that his job of bringing wars and rebellions to those countries was something monstrous, and when he first assumed his position, the war refugees’ helpless faces haunted his dreams every night.
It was not until later, when he witnessed the tragic death of a refugee child during a bombing, that he completely woke up to his senses.
Life was so fragile that every weak man’s life lay in the hands of the powerful.
He did not want to become the weak! Instead, he wanted to become someone strong and powerful who could decide his fate!
He had his disagreements when his nephew submitted a comprehensive proposal of the Deva Eye project. However, the young boy stood by his philosophy and argued that while the sea might be huge, it was not boundless.
The only thing that mankind had yet to conquer was the boundless sky.
Air was the main way to wage wars. In a certain sense, one could control the outcome of wars once they seized control of the sky, be it by launching nuclear bombs or missiles.
The project would also bring considerable benefits to Hurricane Group.
The ‘Deva Eye’ project was still in its infancy and was far from completion with the organization’s current technological resources. As such, they were currently hiring talents from various fields to form a core R&D team so that the project could proceed to its next phase of research and development.
From this, it could be seen that the organization had huge ambitions.
They wanted to become the dictator of wars!
The boy would never tell his mother about these matters, though, and perhaps, she might never understand its meaning even if he were to explain it to her.
“Xiao Jie never mentioned anything to me.” Yun Shishi looked at her husband with a frown. “Did you know about Hurricane Group?”
“Yes,” answered the man honestly. “The power and influence the Gongs hold are unimaginable. Even the current Mu family is nothing compared to them.”
The shock she felt became even more apparent on her face when she heard that.
“No wonder he’s always so busy.”
Youyou nodded. “Yeah. When things get really busy, he may not even know which country he’s waking up in.”
Feeling speechless, she commented, “He never told me anything about it.”
“He’s probably worried that, once you find out about his identity, you’ll be concerned about his safety, as well as think that he’s a cruel person and be fearful of him. After all, he’s been listed as a terrorist by Interpol. Also, he’ll be safe with fewer people knowing his true identity.”
She let out a bitter laugh at that. “Regardless of his line of job, I won’t be fearful of him. He’s family.”
