Just as Butler Fu was about to say something, Chu He suddenly turned around, grabbed his collar and said in no uncertain terms, “Butler Fu, let me tell you, although I may not be Gu Jinglian’s match in terms of skills, but in terms of experience, I once crossed the battlefront alone and safely took the hostages away from the center of the war zone! When I was on a mission, I was pursued by the enemy. I was seriously injured but I still managed to make it through the rainforest… Before I joined the Interpol, I also joined the peacekeeping force. I’m very familiar with the terrain of North Africa. My experience is something that Gu Jinglian cannot compare to!”
Butler Fu was so frightened by her hostility that he didn’t breathe another word.
Chu He stared at him and suddenly laughed coldly. “Why? Do you think I want to take this risk? It has nothing to do with me if Gu Jinglian were to die in North Africa, however he’s Baby Chu’s father and now that there’s no news of him, I can’t just sit by and do nothing!”
“How will you find him?” Butler Fu asked, “There is fighting everywhere in North Africa. How are you going to find him? How are you going to bring him back?”
“It’s true that North Africa is huge, but if you say that Gu Jinglian is in neutral territory, then at least the scope has been defined. If a war breaks out, then other than the shelter station, the embassy, and the Prime Minister’s residence, we can locate him by eliminating them one by one.”
Butler Fu was confused by this information, however, seeing how confident Chu He was, he thought that she probably would be able to bring Gu Jinglian back safely, so he nodded reluctantly.
“If you don’t have full confidence, don’t take any risks! It’s a pity… I’m just a bag of old bones. I really can’t help much!”
Chu He smiled and said casually, “All you need to do is to stay here and take good care of Baby Chu!”
“For sure, I’ll take good care of Baby Chu!”
“You said that the Hurricane Group used Baby Chu and me to threaten Gu Jinglian into signing the agreement.” After a pause, Chu He continued, “In order to ensure Baby Chu’s safety, he won’t go to school for the time being. Just apply for leave from the kindergarten.”
“Okay.”
…
Butler Fu packed her luggage and walked to Baby Chu’s room.
In Baby Chu’s room, Chu He quietly walked to the side of the bed and bent over slightly. She looked at the sleeping child and frowned. She was actually reluctant to part with him!
She caressed his forehead and closed her eyes and planted a kiss on his forehead. “Goodnight, Baby Chu!”
Hopefully, the next time she would say goodnight, it would be with Gu Jinglian!
She silently swore to bring Gu Jinglian back, for the sake of Baby Chu.
…
The freighter, which was supposed to depart at 3am, set off an hour earlier.
Chu He caught up with the freighter ahead of time. Carrying a huge battlefield pack, she boarded the ship heading for North Africa.
This freighter would take four days and four nights to reach their destination. However, this was the fastest way to transport the goods.
The airway had been cut off. Apparently, all the rail tracks had been blown to smithereens by the resistance army during the war. Airports, cargo transports, except for sea transport, were in a state of total paralysis.
Even four days and four nights was the most optimistic estimation. If they were slow, they might not reach North Africa’s neutral zone even in a week. Once they reached the port, they would have to pass through the crossfire of war to enter the neutral zone.
However, Chu He was confident because she was already familiar with the terrain of North Africa.. Even if the whole area was blown to ashes, she could roughly navigate it by heart.
