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 dont be so impulsive, alright?"
Gu Jingming exerted even more force on her neck. "Youre my subordinate, so you should obey only my commands. Let me out."
"But Im doing this for your sake. Mr. President, I wont 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 cant 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 Jingmings eyes had only indifference in them as he looked at her. "Let go of me. Ive already said it."
"No, I wont release you. We wont 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."
"Fine, fine. Then, you can die first." Gu Jingmings eyes turned cold. None of the people present had ever seen Gu Jingming like this.
He hooked Lindas 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.
Then, 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 Citys 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 dont know where he has gone. What should we do now?"
Gu Jingze said, "Since hes 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 familys 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 Jingzes 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 Jingzes position as the head of the family.
