Chapter: 2735

When Chen Zekai arranged for He Yingxiu to be picked up from Northeast Desert City and brought to Jinling, Su Shoudao was on a plane to Syria, accompanied by Chen Zekai’s men. Meanwhile, in Syria, Hamid was gathering his soldiers, ready to follow Charlie Wade’s plan to dig deep holes, store food, and gradually gain power.

Hamid’s friend in the construction industry in Iraq learned that Hamid was willing to pay a 50% bonus on projects and would send five million dollars upfront. Without hesitation, he stopped his ongoing projects in Iraq and quickly sent a group of construction workers to Syria, eager to make money.

Back home, Su Chengfeng was unaware that his son was heading west. He knew Su Shoudao was eager to meet with Ito Yuihiko that day and waited at the villa for good news.

At the same time, He Yuanjiang, a teacher at Jinling University of Finance and Economics, was feeling anxious all morning. He had been following the news about the eight hostages in Syria, but what worried him most was the lack of updates. The local media had gone quiet, and the opposition group holding the hostages had not made any statements.

Previously, the opposition had warned that if the US embassy didn’t pay 80 million dollars, they would start killing the hostages at regular intervals. Normally, if negotiations failed, they would make this threat known to pressure the US embassy. However, their silence was puzzling and concerning. He Yuanjiang was also worried about Charlie Wade’s role in all of this.

Charlie Wade was worried about his daughter’s safety and whether he could bring her back home. The situation in Syria was dangerous, and rescuing her alone would be tough. What he didn’t know was that Charlie had already brought his daughter, He Zhiqiu, back to Jinling early that morning.

Right now, He Zhiqiu was sound asleep. Life in Syria had been hard for her. After being captured, she faced a lot of fear and pressure. Now that she was back in the peaceful Huaxia, lying on the soft bed of a five-star hotel, she finally felt relaxed and safe.

Charlie Wade had asked Chen Zekai to get in touch with He Yingxiu while he took a stroll through the commercial area of the Buckingham Palace Hotel. This luxury hotel had a variety of high-end shops. Many top brands like Chanel, Hermes, and Dior opened stores in five-star hotels because they believed guests had strong purchasing power.

Charlie wasn’t there just to shop; he wanted to buy new clothes for He Zhiqiu. When he saw her in Syria the day before, her clothes were so dirty that their original color was hard to see. They had been captured as prisoners of war, and it was impossible for her to look decent under those circumstances.

By noon, Charlie planned to take He Zhiqiu directly to Jinling College of Finance and Economics to surprise her father, He Yuanjiang. To make the surprise special, she had to arrive looking clean and well-dressed.

Charlie Wade headed to the commercial area, where he visited a Chanel store. He wanted to buy a special gift for He Zhiqiu. Chanel is known for its luxurious and stylish clothing, often with a beautiful and sexy flair. Charlie casually picked out a lovely off-white dress for her.

However, he had a concern. He wasn’t sure if the security guards at Jinling University of Finance and Economics would let He Zhiqiu in, especially since she was a beggar. He couldn’t help but wonder how He Yuanjiang would feel when he saw her.
