"Of course, this is just me being kind by reminding you . Other than that, I'll be waiting for you at the state hall, don't make me wait for too long . "
With that Aliyah ended the call .
Philip almost crushed his phone . He met Mubai's searching eyes and said, "It's Aliyah, she wants me to make the choice today . "
"But, we still can't ascertain your wife's condition yet," Mubai said .
Therefore, Philip couldn't come to a decision . If Kelly was safe, the decision would be easy . Alas, that was not the case…
Philip turned to Xinghe anxiously . "Still no sign of her?"
AdvertisementXinghe didn't answer but focused on her work . She jumped through many surveillance cameras, her hands tapping the keyboard non-stop, hacking into every surveillance point . After a flurry of action, Xinghe suddenly stopped on a screen!
"Found her!" She heaved a sigh of relief .
Philip and Mubai widened their eyes at the same time as they looked at Kelly on the screen . Kelly was kept inside a small room . She was curled into a ball on the corner of her bed . She stared listlessly at the empty space before her . She reminded Xinghe of the first time she met Xiao Lin .
Philip's heart was gripped with pain when he saw her .
He gripped his fists tightly . "What did they do to her? Kelly is not like this; she is the most optimistic person I know in this world, but this…"
The woman on screen was like mannequin that had lost her soul . If not for unspeakable horror, a person wouldn't have changed so much .
It had been almost a year since Kelly was kidnapped by IV Syndicate . Philip hadn't seen his wife for that long . He didn't dare to imagine how her life was in that year, he was afraid that he would go through a mental breakdown . He didn't know the reality was worse than his greatest nightmare…
"We will be able to save her soon . What you need to do now is to tell them that you're willing to cooperate," Xinghe told him clearly . Her voice pulled him out of his painful memory .
"You're right . " Philip's expression darkened . He turned to Mubai and said seriously, "I'm going to the state hall . It's likely that I will not be able to leave there for a few days, so I will not be able to oversee this operation . Therefore, I leave the reign of command in your hands . Please save my wife!"
Mubai stood up and repaid him the same amount of severity . "We will do our best . "
"Thank you!" Philip gave him a salute before turning to leave . He was going to the state hall to prepare for the upcoming election .
The fate of his wife and even the entire Country Y hanged in the balance .
He had no idea whether his choice was correct or not, but now, he had no choice but to believe his instinct . This was the biggest bet Philip had made in his life . However, he felt confident in it; he believed Xinghe and Mubai would pull through in the end .
Philip left after he arranged everything .
Mubai and the rest gathered to discuss the upcoming mission .
"I have to go to IV Syndicate's main base personally, this rescue mission is too important . We can't afford to make any mistakes," Mubai announced .
Xinghe looked at him and said firmly, "I'll be coming as well; I will provide the necessary support . "
"We are going as well!" Sam's group said in unison .
