Arthur was taken aback, as he rarely saw him so angry.
"What has Cesar done to offend you this time?" he said teasingly, "I know he approached your ex-wife before. Didn’t you already dismiss him from Yaoye because of it? It was not easy to clip his wings back when he held the scepter. We owe a lot to Bai Youchen for that, or it would have taken much more effort. But this sudden pursuit seems driven by a different reason, doesn’t it?"
"Let me think, since being expelled and losing the protection of Yaoye, his major sources of income were cut off. Following that was the joint international warrant by countries like R, and he has been too scared to show up. He definitely wouldn’t have the guts to provoke you to your face. It must be something related to the past then."
Arthur sat with his legs crossed, peeling an orange while he thought.
"Such murderous intent, so impatient to act, in all these years, only one person has had the ability to make you react this way..."
As he pondered, a possibility suddenly struck him.
He was so shocked that he even dropped the peeled orange from his hands.
"You don’t mean, he has done something to your ex-wife..."
However, even though he let his subordinates commit crimes, it seemed unlikely he would personally do such things, nor would he have the courage to let someone harm his ex-wife.
"Are you seeking death!" Gu Annan cut him off coldly, displeased, "It’s not what you think. In any case, we need to find him, then flip every one of his strongholds in South America. I need information on his last research base, and it must be kept intact!"
Arthur was rather dismissive of his tone, so typical of a spoiled young master.
Still, he had to do as told. He had almost slipped up earlier, luckily he hadn’t spoken his thoughts out loud.
"Keeping it intact will be difficult. It would be much easier for me to just blow it up!"
"You cannot destroy it!" Gu Annan pressed his lips tightly together, his face tense, "I want everyone inside, including all the data!"
"Alright, I’ll see what I can do. First, I need to find the location of the base," Arthur shook his head, annoyed by such fussy demands. "It’s good that Paul is about to end his three year long vacation and return to Yaoye. If he is willing to help, no security system would stop us, and we wouldn’t need to blow it up. But given his disposition, persuading him will require some toughness..."
Listenting to his nearly muttering plans, it seemed he already had a preliminary plan in mind.
Gu Annan suddenly remembered something, "Tell Jinjin, Grandma’s birthday is in a few days, don’t be late."
Arthur paused, a hint of helplessness flickering through his eyes.
"What’s wrong now?" Gu Annan, seeing his dimming expression, wondered if Gu Anjin had gotten into some kind of trouble.
"It’s nothing, just that Siqing has returned to the United Kingdom..." Arthur gave a wry smile and shrugged his shoulders, "Anyway, I will pass on the message, but I’m not sure she will want to come back at this time."
Suddenly, the door to the study clacked, and the door swung open.
A crisp voice followed a small figure into the room, "Daddy, what do you want to eat?"
Arthur was about to turn off the video, continuing to peel his orange.
Suddenly hearing that voice and then seeing Gu Annan turn around at the sound, he dropped the second orange he had peeled.
What had he just heard?
"What is it?" Gu Annan turned around and looked down.
Little Youyou blinked her eyes, and stealthily peeked at the screen, "Daddy, who are you talking to, a man or a woman..."
