Chapter: 2667
When Charlie Wade heard the boy’s question, the boy quickly responded, “First of all, I don’t believe you came from Huaxia! That just doesn’t make any sense!” He looked around at everyone and added, “We all learned about world geography, including Huaxia. You know how far it is from China, right?”
He continued, “If you fly from central China, it’s at least 6,000 kilometers. If you fly from the west, it’s still over 5,000 kilometers!”
Charlie Wade smiled and gave him a thumbs up. “You’re really smart! You know a lot!”
Then Charlie turned around and joked, “But you guessed wrong, Big Smart. I’m not from Central or Western China; I’m from East China.”
“East China?!” the Indian boy scoffed. “That’s even more impossible! East China is over 7,000 kilometers away. How did you get here so quickly? Did you take a rocket?”
He sneered again and said, “Plus, everyone knows Syria hasn’t resumed navigation because of the war. To get from China to Syria, you’d have to fly to a nearby country and then drive. Even if you took the fastest route without stopping, it would take at least twenty hours. But we’ve been here for twenty-four hours! Do you have some kind of special ability? So, I think you’re lying!”
Charlie Wade shook his head in disbelief and looked at He Zhiqiu. “Does this guy always act like this?”
He Zhiqiu looked a bit embarrassed but also…
She felt a bit unsure. In fact, she wasn’t certain about who Charlie Wade really was, and she found it hard to believe what he said. Hearing Charlie’s voice in person felt different from the way they communicated over the phone through WeChat. Plus, Charlie hadn’t revealed his identity, making her feel even more uncertain.
After all, the Indian boy’s earlier speculation made some sense. Charlie’s words seemed illogical, given the time and place.
At that moment, the clever Indian boy spoke up again. “You know, our SEAL team aims for 100% success in every mission. They always make a detailed rescue plan before a mission. I believe they will come to rescue us soon!”
Charlie sneered and replied, “Stop talking nonsense! You really think you can just say whatever comes to your mind?”
“I’m telling you the truth! The news about your capture hasn’t even been reported by the European and American media!”
