4431 The Other Side 400
Initially a high-spirited youth, he returned to the Hurricane Group a depressed person, after the inhumane kidnapping experience. Eventually, his wound infection worsened and he died young.
After going through this incident, Gong Jie deeply understood that in this world, the strong preyed on the weak.
It's hard to wind things up. When a person finally reaches the peak, as it's often said, it's lonely at the top. It is no longer simple to come down again.
As the heir to the Hurricane Group, he was destined to be extraordinary from the moment he returned to the Gong family. At the same time, he also shouldered a responsibility that was a hundred times more difficult than common folks.
Once they entered this cruel world, it was impossible for them to retreat. The only way was to become stronger.
The man had always been carefully protecting his family members. Every time he returned from a trip and caught up with Yun Shishi, he would be extremely careful.
He was afraid that the people who were secretly watching him would turn their attention to her.
His sister was already married and had a family. She was no longer alone. Other than her beloved husband, she had three adorable children. He was cautious in everything, being fearful that he would bring her trouble.
The Hurricane Group manufactured military weapons for a global market. Other than the heads of state, governments, anti-government militants, there were also extreme terrorist groups involved.
When dealing with killing, one must be accompanied by killing.
Hence, as the successor of the Hurricane Group, he had long gotten used to the world of open and covert attacks.
The President who had signed an agreement with him and shook his hand in a friendly manner one moment, might go to the International Court of Justice the next moment to propose sanctions on the Hurricane Group. Or someone who was threatening to bomb the Hurricane Group headquarters one moment, might fawn over him, groveling and raising orders the next moment.
In this world, there are no forever friends, only forever benefits.
As the saying goes, the world is prosperous, and I, am here for the benefits. The world is in chaos, and I have my sight focused on the benefits.
Gong Jie was worried that they had been targeted by terrorists. This was at worst, an ideal suspicion. If they had fallen into the hands of extremists, then… The consequence would be unimaginable.
…
"Could it be someone from the Sacred Temple?" Gong Shaoying and Gong Jie sat in the study, at a loss for what to do. Amidst their silence, the elder man suddenly voiced his doubts.
Gong Jie's eyelids twitched when he heard that.
The Sacred Temple started off as a small sect, but later became a heretic sect.
It had been 20 years since it was established. At first, it was just an ordinary independent religious group. However, ever since Jim came to power, it slowly began to change. To date, the Sacred Temple had more than 5,000 devout believers.
One of the main beliefs of the Sacred Temple was the so-called apocalyptic faith.
The sect continued to advertise that the entire world would face a catastrophe in the future. Only those who joined his sect would be spared.
The Sacred Temple asserted that the signs of the end of the world were everywhere, such as the destruction of the ozone layer, the spread of AIDS, the outbreak of ethnic conflicts worldwide, and so on. Only by joining the Sacred Temple could they escape the calamity of the Apocalypse because the Sacred Temple could provide their believers with the necessary supernatural powers.
The purpose of the Sacred Temple's establishment was to build a Noah's Ark for those who believed that the end of the world was coming.
