Charlie slowly drove into the Aurous University of Finance and Economics. At this time, it was already the university's lunch break. Many students were walking on the campus ground. Most of them were walking toward the cafeteria and their dormitories, and some of them seemed to be heading out of the university to eat.
Autumn asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade, would my father have already gone out to eat lunch? Should we contact him first?"
Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, "I'll call him in a short while. You should not say anything at all."
Autumn knew that Charlie simply wanted to give her father a surprise. So, she immediately agreed, "Okay..."
Charlie parked the car below the administrative office building. After that, he called Yolden via WhatsApp.
As soon as the voice call request was sent, the other party answered the call immediately. Immediately after that, Yolden's voice came over the other end of the line, "Charlie, how are things over there?! Is there any progress?"
Charlie replied, "Uncle Hart, you should not be so anxious. My situation is a little complicated now. I
cannot explain everything to you in just a word or two.”
Yolden hurriedly asked, "Then, have you seen Autumn yet?"
Charlie replied to him, "Not yet. The guards for the opposition force are very strict. I'm still trying to think of a way." 4
As he spoke, Charlie asked him, "Uncle Hart, have you had your lunch yet?"
Yolden said emotionally, "How could I possibly have the mood to eat? I've been feeling very restless and ill a t ease ever since last night. At first, I made several calls to you, but it showed that it was not within the service area. It was probably because there was no signal on your end, right?"
Charlie explained, "There is indeed no communication signal here. So, I could not make or receive calls normally. However, I have a satellite internet device here, and I can be connected to WhatsApp via the satellite signal. It's just that the data rate is a little expensive."
Yolden did not notice anything abnormal, and he could not help but sigh as he said emotionally, "I really have to trouble you a lot because of this matter... Regardless of whether you'll have an opportunity to see Autumn in the future or regardless of whether you'll have an opportunity to rescue her, you must ensure your own personal safety."
Charlie smiled as he said, "Uncle Hart, don't worry. I'll certainly bring your daughter safely back to the country."
