His ice-cold voice was truly like a voice that emanated from a demon in hell. It made people shiver.

“Mr. President, be rational. We have already searched for her. Please... don’t be so impulsive, alright?”

Gu Jingming exerted even more force on her neck. “You’re my subordinate, so you should obey only my commands. Let me out.”

“But I’m doing this for your sake. Mr. President, I won’t let you out even if you kill me. If anything happens to you outside, so many citizens of C Nation will lose a good president. We... we will lose a good leader too. You can’t go!” Linda was shouting for dear life. Even though there were already marks on her neck from being strangled, she still persisted in not letting go of Gu Jingming.

Gu Jingming’s eyes had only indifference in them as he looked at her. “Let go of me. I’ve already said it.”

“No, I won’t release you. We won’t release you.” Linda gave a command to the people outside, “All of you, listen up. Even if I die, we must not let Mr. President out.”

1“Fine, fine. Then, you can die first.” Gu Jingming’s eyes turned cold. None of the people present had ever seen Gu Jingming like this.

He hooked Linda’s neck without hesitation, causing her to lose her consciousness immediately. Gu Jingming was not so cruel as to kill her, but he strangled her so that she fainted instantly.

1Then, he pulled the trigger hard using his hand and fired a shot at the thigh of one of the presidential guards who was walking towards him.

He said, “No one can stop me. Whoever gets in my way can only die.”

“Mr. President!” His personal guards were still shouting. But Gu Jingming merely fired a shot at each guard, causing them all to collapse. Then, he walked out, step by step.

Outside, B City’s sky was filled with wild and violent rain, and heavy black clouds. It turned the capital city, which had low atmospheric pressure, to begin with, into a scene of carnage.

Meanwhile, sirens were blasting outside the Glazed Tile Palace. The residents of the area around the Glazed Tile Palace looked outside anxiously. They knew that something major had happened in C Nation recently. Because they lived so close, all of them wanted to find out what exactly had happened. However, as many major national affairs were involved, it was not something that ordinary citizens could investigate. As a result, they could only look at this never-before-seen situation pass by crushingly but were unable to get wind of any news. They only knew vaguely that something huge was about to happen, and this time, it was really something huge.

Of course, no one among them could have imagined that this was indeed a huge affair because Mr. President had escaped and had gone missing. At a crucial time like this, he had given up power for the sake of a woman. He had gone to save his wife all alone, giving up the currently volatile politics of C Nation.

However, no one in the Glazed Tile Palace dared to release the news. Instead, they continued to block off everything that was happening in the Glazed Tile Palace.

Gu Jingze was alone in his office in the Gu Industries. He stood outside the translucent glass window and looked with misty eyes at the tall buildings towering into the depths of the dark clouds.

“Sir, Mr. President has already left the Glazed Tile Palace on his own. We don’t know where he has gone. What should we do now?”

Gu Jingze said, “Since he’s gone, just leave him be. To capture the thief, you must first capture the ringleader. Any stream of water has a source. Once you find the source, everything else will flow naturally.”

“But Sir, the situation outside is completely chaotic. Even the Gu family’s personal guards are in a state of turbulence.” Qin Hao had a troubled expression on his face. He was at a loss as to what to do.

At this precise moment, a disturbance stirred outside again, followed by agitated shouting by the personal guards. They wanted Gu Jingze to personally come forth. They could not bear such grievance. They could not accept ill words about the Gu Jingze from other prominent families and citizens outside. Initially, this was not an issue. But Gu Jingze’s decision not to mobilize the troops disappointed numerous people. They wondered how the Gu family could simply allow others to bully themselves like this without doing anything about it. What exactly was this head of the Gu family doing? Was the Old Master really incapacitated right now? Why was no one coming to help them uphold justice?

Things like this had happened many times over the past few days, but no one questioned it. At the moment, the personal guards of the Gu family all felt a little low in morale. They felt a sense of uncertainty about the path ahead.

Of course, these things should not be happening in the first place. But the second family and the third family were all seizing the opportunity to make trouble. they wanted to make use of this rare chance to cause instability to Gu Jingze’s position as the head of the family.

Thus, they planned many little tricks in secret, planning to send the personal guards into disorder.

“We demand that the head of the family makes sure justice is served.”

“The head of the family must strengthen our position.”

“Precisely. What exactly is he doing? Did he disappear just because something happened?”

However, at this moment...

All of a sudden, a bullet flew across the sky.

Instantly, the center of the brow of the personal guard standing right at the front turned red.

Fresh blood spattered from his forehead all the way onto the forehead of one of the personal guards next to him.

Following this gunshot, everyone around him instantly turned completely silent. In the deathly silence, someone walked out slowly from the dark rain. His steps were stable and steady, and his rearview was hazy.

Lightning flashed across his rearview. His figure was immediately elongated due to the cold light of the lightning.

In the cold night, he seemed like a lone star that had appeared faintly in the night sky. His shadow swayed behind him and his expressionless face appeared even harsher in the deep night.

It was Gu Jingze.

The gun in his hand was still hot. The bullet had just shot out of his pistol but was now rooted in someone else’s head.

Everyone looked at Gu Jingze. For a moment, he stood there alone with no one around him. But his expression was that of someone with a magnificent army of thousands of men and horses, and his presence was very strong.

His vague aura of desolation made him appear even more arrogant, like a divine God that one could not afford to offend.

“Everyone has seen it. This is the dignity of the Gu family. You want an explanation, right? This is the explanation. You want a response from the head of the family, right? This is the response!”

Everyone’s gazes were fixed on his proud and aloof figure as they heard his tough and cold words.

“The Gu family doesn’t need a personal army who will question the authority of the head of the family, much less a personal army who will be blindly instigated by others. Right now, at this very moment, I will record the names of every single personal guard here. You can go and receive punishment!”

A chill ran through everyone’s bodies. In the next moment, numerous personal guards had already surged forth to surround the person in the middle.

“Master, we’re in the wrong...”

“Mr. Gu, spare us...”

Gu Jingze said, “I won’t go easy on my own people, much less outsiders. Whoever impinges on the dignity of the Gu family, I will definitely send him back to hell first using the Gu family’s dignity. I treat outsiders this way and I will also do the same to you!”

The personal guards did not dare to make another sound as Gu Jingze stood there. Just then, however, they heard Qin Hao walk to him hastily. He looked at Gu Jingze and did not speak either. He merely waited for Gu Jingze to come down before saying quietly, “Sir, Madam has gone missing.”
