Chapter 3548 - A New Addition (164)

He spoke fluent Chinese and said as he came up to her. "I grew up in Jamal. I'm familiar with that place. I'll go with you."

Chu He was surprised and looked behind him. "Where are your parents?"

He said that he wanted to go. Maybe it was because he was innocent by nature, but wouldn't his parents stop him?

The youth's eyes darkened and he said in a weak voice, "My parents are dead…"

Chu He was stunned.

The young boy pursed his lips but did not cry. He gritted his teeth and said, "They were killed by the rebels…"

Chu He smiled. "Aren't you afraid?"

The youth shook his head and said firmly, "I'm not afraid. Anyway, my father is gone, my mother is gone, and my sister…" he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. "…is gone too, I'm alone. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

Looking at the boy, Chu He saw a reflection of herself in her youth. In the flames of war, her family was destroyed and her heart was filled with hatred and helplessness.

Her lips curved into a smile as she held out her palm to him. "How brave. Good. You'll come with me, but I'll keep you safe."

The youth nodded, took her hand, and followed her out of the embassy, leaving everyone looking at each other in dismay.

When Chu He left the embassy, she was very cautious. She looked around to make sure that there was no one around before she opened the car door and instructed the boy to get in. After putting on his seatbelt, she quickly got into the car and drove towards Wirth.

"There's no one in Wirth now." The boy suddenly said, "My father is one of Wirth's workers. A few days ago, Wirth was taken over by a large group of armed men. According to the other uncles, they are from the Hurricane Group, not the rebel army, but they seemed to be very powerful. So many Chinese factories have been destroyed and robbed by the rebel army. Only Wirth is fine."

Hurricane Group…

Chu He narrowed her eyes.

Butler Fu said that it was because Hurricane had used her and Baby Chu to threaten Gu Jinglian into signing the agreement.

In exchange, he had to give up Wirth, and that piece of land. He had suffered heavy losses.

She still could not understand why Gu Jinglian would do this.

Was… she… a reason?

Was he… protecting her?

The thought of this possibility made Chu He laugh at herself.

How was that possible? This man had always been arrogant and full of himself. How could he give up such a huge benefit to protect her?

The boy continued, "It will be very dangerous to head to Wirth now. However, as far as I know, there are many Chinese factories in the war zone. Those factories are state-owned, so the rebel army doesn't dare to touch them.So there may be some people hiding there."

"How do we get there?"

The youth pointed at the road sign ahead. "Go to that intersection and head south."

"You're really familiar with the terrain."

The boy nodded. "I grew up here."

"Then why do you speak Chinese so well?"

"That's because my parents are Chinese. I'm Chinese too. Of course, I can speak Chinese, but I can speak a little English too. If my parents were alive, with our passports, we could have caught the first batch of ships to evacuate."

The boy fell silent again at this point. It probably brought up sad memories. His parents were shot to death trying to protect him…

Those damned rebels!

They were vicious and merciless, and deserved to die!

Chu He patted his head and smiled, "Don't be sad, it's the past."

"Uh huh…"
