4438 The Other Side 407

In the conference room.

The room was bathed in cold incandescent light.

With his back to the crowd, Gong Jie leaned back in his chair and looked at the information about the Sacred Temple on the big screen, lost in thought. Behind him, the crowd anxiously discussed.

"What should we do? Alice is still in the hands of those heretics!"

"The Sacred Temple… we're probably doomed this time…"

"It's said that the headquarters of the Sacred Temple is in East Africa… That place itself is a war zone with cross-fire taking place everywhere. Let's not talk about rescuing hostages, even entering that place and safely getting out is not an easy task…"

"Is Young Master Jie really going to rescue them personally?"

"If so many people rush in at once and cause a huge commotion, it will be disadvantageous to the situation…"

"Those heretics have spies everywhere. If they find out that the Hurricane Group has sent so many people, they will definitely fly into a rage and kill the hostages…"

Gong Jie shot them a cold glance. "Are you done talking?!"

Everyone was shocked into silence.

The man turned around and glanced expressionlessly at his subordinates sitting around the long table. He suddenly stood up and placed his arms on the tabletop with a serious expression.

"I've decided. Vermillion Bird!"

The blonde woman immediately stood up. "Yes."

The man ordered, "You, take fifty men and escort the goods to East Africa with me."

"Fifty men?" Vermillion Bird raised her eyebrows, looking a little worried. "Young Master Jie, is fifty people really enough?"

"It's enough. If there are too many people, it won't be easy to keep things under control."

On the contrary, fifty people were easy to command and would not attract attention too easily. Vermillion Bird understood what he meant and nodded.

"Jed."

"Yes."

"Prepare the order immediately."

Jed did not wait for Gong Jie to finish his explanation before asking worriedly, "Young Master Jie, are we really going to prepare the order according to their wishes?! Since when did the Hurricane Group allow these minions to lead us by the nose?"

Gong Jie frowned. "Did I say I was done speaking?"

Jed immediately looked down guiltily. He understood. "Got it. I'll prepare it immediately!"

Vermillion Bird asked, "When do we leave?"

"Wait for my instructions." Gong Jie raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was about time he heard a reply from the Sacred Temple.

After leaving his father's study last night, Gong Jie had received another email from the Sacred Temple, urging him to prepare the goods as soon as possible. The man laid down a condition of exchange. Before handing over the goods, he had to make sure that the hostages were safe.

Just as he had expected, the people of the Sacred Temple were very wary of this and rejected it outrightly. However, the man refused to be a pushover just because Hua Jin, Alice, and Natalia were in their hands.
