Sudden Changes (25)

It was not that he intentionally treated Youyou differently on the internet. The main point was that Youyou's words and manner on the internet resembled that of a mature adult man's.1

However, it was not until he saw the tender and adorable little fellow standing in front of him that he found it difficult to communicate with him as though he were an adult.

The first meeting was too impressionable. He was a child, an eight-year-old child. Even though he knew very well that this child had an astonishing mind, it was very difficult for him to interact with him in an overly mature manner.

Although this child had a cute and tender face and wore suspenders, making him look like a little gentleman, there was not the slightest hint of childishness in his expression that one would inevitably see in children of the same age. Instead, there was an extremely steady and imposing aura.

What a presence he had!

This was Guerlain's first impression of this child!

Youyou glared at him coldly.

Guerlain suddenly said with seriousness, "Alright, let's stop fooling around."

His expression recovered as he looked at Gong Jie. "Has it been a smooth journey back?"

"Not at all."

"…?"

Gong Jie said, "We ran into the Interpol on the way and was almost invited back to the ICPO headquarters for tea."

"Snow Fox?"

"Uh huh."

"Indeed."

Guerlain's face clouded over at once. "That woman is relentless."

Gong Jie was expressionless as he replied, "Apart from her, all the members of the Alpha team that she served in the past, had died under cross-fire with my mercenary team. Naturally, she hates me to the bone."

"And what happened eventually?"

"She didn't have a search warrant or any material evidence. She had to turn back."

Guerlain smiled. "You must have discovered that she was tailing you and set her up."

"There are political power shifts within the ICPO now. Everyone is vying for the position of Chief of the Police Department. The power is divided and dispersed. Therefore, even if they were to invite me back to the headquarters, they won't be able to deal with me at the end of the day."

Gong Jie looked at Alice. "Where's Father?"

"Boss? Boss left a while ago and hasn't returned."

Gong Shaoying had left a while ago because of Yun Shishi's wedding. Initially, he had deliberated if he should go. Without telling anyone about this, he left the island one morning with a mercenary team.

Until now, he had not returned.

"Not back yet?"

Gong Jie had not expected this and was concerned.

He and Youyou looked at each other in surprise. He did not expect Gong Shaoying to not be on the island.

Where could he be if he was not on the island?

Gong Jie was a little worried. Because of his sister's wedding, his father seemed to have suffered quite a blow. He did not know where the man had gone or if he was in danger.

Alice reassured him, "Don't worry, Boss is fine. We received news yesterday that he has gone to the Middle East."

Gong Jie was puzzled. "Why did he go to the Middle East?"

"There's been a lot of war going on in the Middle East. There's an order that needs to be negotiated."

Guerlain added, "The boss has to attend to it personally when you're not around."

"If that's the case, when will he return?"

"I don't know. He didn't tell us when either. However, I've already sent a team over to protect him. Jie, don't worry."

Gong Jie nodded.
