If they forcefully flew, they might face a small-scale exchange of fire.

“It’s too dangerous!” Alice had some nagging fear about this. “If they took us for terrorists and downed the plane, we’d end up losing even more.”

“Then, can you think of another way to bring Xiao Jie back?” he asked.

Alice remained silent.

“If you don’t then we’ll just go along with my suggestion! No matter what the price is, we have to bring him back unharmed!”

“Yes. I understand.”

Alice had just stepped out of Gong Shaoying’s room when she saw Hua Jin standing nervously at the door. He immediately came up to her.

“I heard that there’s news about Gong Jie?”

Alice was a little surprised. “How did you know?”

“I…” The actor looked somewhat exasperated. “I was eavesdropping. I saw you rus.h.i.+ng into the study and was worried that something had happened to Gong Jie.”

Alice turned around and glanced at him warily. She immediately pulled him aside and warned him sternly, “You shouldn’t have eavesdropped on my conversation with the Old Master! He’d be furious If he found out. Besides, you’re not an insider of the Hurricane Group. You shouldn’t have eavesdropped on my conversation with him.”

“But you don’t tell me anything!”

“I didn’t have time. It was an emergency.”

The actor lowered his head. “I’m sorry…” After a pause, he continued, “You were saying that you have news of Gong Jie?”

“Yes. But … he’s injured.”

“Injured?!” The actor became even more nervous and grabbed her shoulders tightly. “Is it serious?! Is it life-threatening?!”

“It’s not a big deal, but he’s under the FBI’s watch.”

“FBI? !” The actor was at a loss upon hearing this. “What’s with the FBI?” From what he knew, or perhaps that was what happened in movies, the FBI was on the side of justice.

Alice narrowed her eyes and sized him up, wondering what he was thinking. “Are you thinking that the FBI is no big deal, that they’re on the side of justice and won’t do anything to him?”

“Well, yeah… what else if not?”

“You seem to have forgotten…” Alice reminded him faintly, “Hurricane is not the righteous party. Xiao Jie is the heir of the Hurricane Group and is also a thorn in the side of the Federal Security Organization. If the FBI arrests him, he’d be sent to military court.”

“Military court…”

Hua Jin became increasingly nervous. “What will happen then?”

“He’d be sentenced.”

“We can get him out.”

“You think the international court will let him go?”

This confused Hua Jin. He asked, “And… if he were to be sentenced, how long would it be for?”

“Hundreds of years… You can understand it as life imprisonment.”

In international law, sentences are c.u.mulative according to the cla.s.sification of the crime. Many war criminals are sentenced to hundreds of years, equivalent to life imprisonment. Usually, in a murder case in the country, regardless of the number of victims, they would be charged with intentional murder.

However, in the English-American legal system, as well as in international courts, every person killed would be subject to one sentence. Eventually, sentences would be added together, forming a sentence amounting to hundreds of years.

The actor’s eyes widened in surprise. “Hundreds of years!”

“Anyway, the most important thing now is to bring him back as soon as possible.”

“How terrifying.” Hua Jin snapped back to his senses. How could he have forgotten that Gong Jie was the number one target on the wanted list?

“Primarily, it’s because he’s injured. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be trapped in East Africa by the FBI.”
