Chapter: 2645

He Yuanjiang never imagined that Charlie Wade was preparing to go to Syria. He had called Charlie not to ask for help, but to update him on the situation. Yuanjiang believed Charlie wouldn’t be able to do much since his daughter was so far away, around six to seven thousand kilometers in Syria, where she was in a dangerous situation amidst armed conflict.

Given that even the Syrian government army struggled to manage the situation, Yuanjiang thought Charlie would be powerless to assist. So, when Charlie said he was ready to go to Syria, Yuanjiang was taken aback.

After a moment of shock, he asked, “Charlie, how are you getting to Syria? There are no flights there!”

Charlie was already stepping off a helicopter and onto a waiting Concorde. As he walked up the boarding steps, he replied, “I arranged for the Ye family to fly me to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, and then I’ll enter Syria from there.”

Yuanjiang felt a rush of excitement. “Are you serious, Charlie?!”

“Absolutely,” Charlie confirmed. “I’m already at Jinling Airport, and I’ll be taking off soon.”

Yuanjiang’s concern grew. “How long will it take to reach Syria? The opposition might start executing hostages in just a few hours. What if you can’t make it in time?”

Charlie reassured him, “I borrowed the Ye family’s Concorde. It’ll take just over four hours to get to Beirut. Plus, the Ye family is preparing local resources and contacts for me. Once I land, I should be able to head directly to Syria. Kent is only a few dozen kilometers from the border, so I should be able to get there quickly.”

He Yuanjiang quickly asked, “Can I go with you?”

Charlie Wade replied, “Uncle He, there’s not much time. I’m leaving in five minutes. Just wait for my message in Jinling. I promise I will bring your daughter back safely.”

He Yuanjiang expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you so much, Charlie Wade.”

Then he added, “How do you plan to save Zhiqiu when you get to Syria? You promised me you wouldn’t take any risks! You can’t put yourself in danger, do you understand?”

Charlie Wade reassured him, “Don’t worry, Uncle He. I mainly plan to solve this with money. The Syrian opposition just wants a ransom, right? If the US embassy won’t pay, then I will.”

He chuckled to himself, “Honestly, I’m going over there to be a wealthy benefactor for the opposition. No matter how terrible they are, they can’t ignore the God of Wealth.”

However, Charlie was just trying to ease He Yuanjiang’s worries. Using money to rescue someone wasn’t really his style. He knew that these desperate criminals would have no credibility. Generally, such violent criminals only care about money and are often treacherous.

If they took tens of millions for a ransom, they might not let the person go. Instead, they could see that person as a big catch and keep them detained. So this time, Charlie planned to use force to solve the problem directly.
