Lin Che watched from the back; as she looked up, she saw that Gu Jingze was also frowning.

She knew that if he had a plan on his mind, he wouldn’t be frowning.

It seemed that he was also like a nocked arrow at the moment, not knowing where he should be shooting at.

Gu Jingze took a look at the time, then picked up the phone. “Brother.”

He was on the call with Gu Jingming.

Gu Jingming said, “How are you guys right now?”

“Not too good. They are very agitated, having been stirred up very intensely. ”

“Our military is already ready to meet you up at the strait.”

“What should we do now?”

“We’ll send people to barge in right away and send fighter jets to pick you guys up. However, they’ll need time to do that. Try to drag things out. It’d be best if you can leave, but if you can’t, then don’t force it.”

“Okay.”

Gu Jingze put down the phone. Lin Che felt increasingly terrified as she heard this.

There’d be people coming to pick them up, but the timing was uncertain.

However, the people outside would be charging in very soon.

Most of those people were innocent citizens who had been incited to become scapegoats.

The people behind this wanted to let their men be unable to shoot. Otherwise, they’d be deemed to have killed innocent lives and would be sent to the military court.

But what should they do now?

Andrew shut his eyes in despair, then looked down. It was the first time he felt that the place he was at was so uncomfortable.

Lin Che jumped up.

“Andrew, forget it. Come down. There’ll be people coming to pick us up very soon. We’ll just need to drag things out.”

Andrew looked at the agitated people. “How long will it take?”

“I don’t know…”

Lin Che wasn’t sure when they’d be coming either. She could only watch on.

At this moment…

The agitated people outside finally broke their way through.

All of them came charging in.

Although they weren’t equipped with guns, they had the most basic weapons. Some of them were holding onto rods, some of them holding onto the kitchen knives from their home.

Some of them even picked up rocks and charged.

The guards tried to fend them off from the inside, but there were still quite a number of people who had fallen, bleeding.

Andrew felt so anxious that tears were flowing out from his eyes.

“What should we do…”

As he watched people drop to the ground, he wanted to leave, but his feet seemed pinned to the ground. He was unable to move at all.

“No, no, I can’t leave just like that. Since they are doing this because of me, then you guys can leave after handing me over. Is that right?” Andrew gradually clenched his fists and looked up at Lin Che.

Lin Che felt very upset.

“What do you want to do… I promised to bring you away from this place.”

“But they won’t let you guys leave. If I don’t go out, they’ll kill. Look…”

Andrew looked down.

He had never thought that there’d be a day where a lot of blood would flow in a place because of him.

He bit his lips. “Let me go down. You guys bring my sister away.”

“No way!”

“I can’t… This might be my fate. It’s my fate to be born here, and it’ll also be my fate to die here.”

After saying this, tears finally flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

After he had said that, he jumped down.

“Andrew!”

Lin Che cried out loudly.

However, Qin Hao held her back.

Andrew dashed over toward the crowd.

“Stop fighting. They’ve released me, they’ve released me.”

As it was very chaotic outside, many people’s voices drowned Andrew’s weak and soft voice.

Andrew quickly jumped up onto the top of a car, standing there and shouting out loudly to the people below. “Look, they’ve let me go. Stop fighting. Can you guys please stop fighting?”

Finally, someone saw Andrew.

The people from the ZF military also noticed him right away.

Someone cursed, “Why did he come down?”

They hoped that Andrew would still be inside. With that, they’d be able to charge forth.

However, since Andrew ran over here by himself, many people who had been very agitated from the fighting gradually came to a stop.

At the same time, the sound of fighter jets rang out.

Everyone saw that a few jets were flying towards them.

Lin Che stood there and watched, her eyes filled with tears.

Gu Jingze put aside everything else and carried her.

“Let’s go first. He won’t die.”

Lin Che turned and took a long look at Andrew, who stood amongst the crowd.

That was right. He might not die. He might die.

In this chaotic place, the future of a young man who had just grown up would never be stable.

Earlier on, he had the chance to leave. But now, he had no choice but to return to the place that brought him despair.

She thought of how hopeful his gaze had been when they were about to leave earlier.

That should be a gaze that belonged to every single youth. But in this place, he had long hidden that gaze in his heart.

It was just that in that instant earlier, he had revealed his most heartfelt yearning.

To leave this place, to leave the chaos. That was his greatest yearning.

However, right now…

Lin Che couldn’t take it anymore. She buried her face in Gu Jingze’s arms, crying.

Gu Jingze carried her and got on a jet. The group finally was able to leave.

The people below looked up numbly.

The members from the ZF military shouted out angrily, “How can we let them leave? How can we do that?”

But it was already too late.

They looked angrily at that young man who was standing on top of a car.

It was all because of him. They were so close…

Lin Che and Gu Jingze got onto a warship.

Gu Jingze picked up his phone. “We’ve arrived. Brother, we can go to war at any moment now.”

“I’ve already informed the military. They’ll send out soldiers immediately. Since the An family wants to use this method to deal with the Gu family, then they should have expected that there’s a price to pay in a life and death battle.”

Gu Jingze put down the phone and looked at Lin Che, who was still in a bad mood.

“We’ll find him.” He patted her shoulder.

Lin Che’s eyes were filled with tears. “They’ll be going to war again very soon. Will he be able to survive amidst the chaotic battlefield?”

“If he is lucky, he will.”

“What if he isn’t?”

“Then that’ll be his fate.”

Lin Che closed her eyes, leaning in his embrace.

Right now, she hoped that there was no war, that there was peace everywhere in the world.

One would only be able to appreciate how precious peace was only after witnessing how terrifying wars were.

The warcraft sent them to a safe country. They then took a flight to return home. At this moment, Gu Jingming was on a television broadcast, reporting the news that they’d soon be declaring war upon Elder Country.

Gu Jingming said, “Unless left with no other choice, I don’t wish to be going to war. But their missiles have already reached the top of our heads. When our citizens have to start worrying about dangers flying over, we, the C Nation, mustn’t just wait for doom to befall on us.”

The citizens had their views about war as well. Some people were strongly against it, while others felt that they should go to war.

Lin Che instructed the personal guards at home, “Take good care of Andrew’s sister. I hope that when he appears in front of her alive, his sister will have already fully recovered.”
