The man turned around and nodded slightly upon hearing this. He instructed

his subordinates to stand guard. “Wait for me at the door.” As he spoke, he

followed Butler Fu to the guest room.

When he pa.s.sed by Baby Chu and Linxi, the man looked straight ahead without

turning his head. He swept past like a gust of wind that messed up Baby Chu’s

fringe! Linxi was a little intimidated by the man’s presence. He asked

nervously, “Who is this man?

Baby Chu shook his head looking confused. “I don’t know either.”

In the reception hall.

Buter Fu brewed a pot of Da Hong Pao and poured out two cups of tea for Gu

Jinglian and Gong Jie.

“Young Master Jie, what brings you here?”

Gong Jie took a sip and put the tea aside. Without bothering with small talk, he

went straight to the point! “I heard that you’ve just returned from North

Africa.”

Although he spoke with a lowered voice, it did nothing to diminish his strong

presence.

Gu Jinglian replied plainly, “Yes.”

“I’ve also heard,” Gong jie looked at him and continued, “that the Gu family’s

factory in North Africa, Wirth, had been acquired by the Hurricane Group.

“Since it’s an acquisition made by the Hurricane Group, Young Master Jie

should know about it.”

Gong Jie’s expression darkened at this confirmation. “So it’s true?

Gu Jinglian snorted icily. Even in front of Gong Jie, he could not hide the anger

he was feeling. After all, he had to let go of Wirth under the most reluctant

circ.u.mstances. At that point, he was on equal footing with the Hurricane

Group. If Gong Fan had not been so despicable and vicious, he would not have

withdrawn from the North African market.

Gu Jinglian a.s.sumed that Gong Jie knew about it and had brazenly come to the

Gu residence to flaunt his prowess.

Hence, he adopted an unfriendly tone. “Young Master Jie, you don’t have to

pretend. After acquiring that piece of land, Hurricane Group is already the

overlord of North Africa. Since thats the case, why have you come to me?

Surely you must have known about this.”

He had wronged Gong Jie.

Gong Jie said truthfully, “I didn’t know about this matter. To be precise, I didn’t

partic.i.p.ate in the discussion. I even objected to this acquisition.”

He knew that monopolizing a market meant gaining unprecedented benefits.

But this also meant that in the absence of healthy compet.i.tion, if the market

did not function properly, it could get hopelessly corrupted.

There is war in this world because of compet.i.tion. The survival of humans is

also built on the ability to compete. If there were no compet.i.tion, there would

be regression. It was no different from the Qing dynasty’s closed-door

cultivation.

When he was in charge of the Hurricane Group, he had always considered the

fairness of the situation and did not oppress the other forces too much. Even

though his methods were ruthless, he was not as terrifying as Gong Fan.

Only, if there was too much oppression, there would be resistance. This wasn’t

something he was happy to see happen! Therefore, this acquisition was not his

idea. What made him even more unhappy was that no one in the Hurricane

Group knew about this.

Gong Fan was the one who made the decision on this matter. He did not

discuss it with anyone, not even Gong Shaoying.

But that wasn’t the point.

The point was

That child!

Gong Jie asked in a quiet voice, “You went to North Africa and saw Gong Fan?”

“Gong Fan?” Gu Jinglian did not avoid talking about this. “I saw him.”

“You saw him? Gong Jie stood up excitedly. “You really saw that child?

Gu Jinglian raised an eyebrow. “Why? What about the child that’s causing you

to be this agitated?”

“Well.
