One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love Novel - Chapter 3279
Chapter 3279: Sudden Changes (20)
Hurricane Group’s wealth, however, was not mainly dependent on military firearms.
Gong Shaoying had investments in other areas as well. He had the oil mining rights of many countries in the Middle East and had a few private mines in Africa.
Investing this money in other areas only put the Hurricane Group in a better position.
As a result, Gong Jie led the pack in the military firearms industry. He was the chief commander of Hurricane Group. At first, he was mainly in charge of the North American region. Now, Gong Shaoying had put him in-charge of the African region.
Therefore, Gong Jie’s position in Hurricane Group was equivalent to the second-in-command of the Gong family, and it was a powerful position.
Superficially, the Gong clan appeared to be peaceful, but underneath the calm exterior, schemes and plots abound.
However, to Gong Jie, these petty bickerings were not worth his attention.
“Uncle?”
“Uh huh.”
“Did you already know from the onset that someone was tailing you?”
“I realized it when we crossed the Liujia South Bay,” Gong Jie told the boy. “Don’t go thinking that this is just a freighter. The radar equipment and military ammunition that it carries are the most advanced in the world. It’s wishful thinking for the ill-equipped ICPO to intercept my freighter without alerting me.”
After the ICPO personnel left, Gong Jie sent his men to hand over the genuine goods to Dimon. Carrying Youyou, they boarded the ship and finally headed for the Hurricane Group’s headquarters.
After the eventful night, Youyou woke up to a sky that was gradually brightening outside.
He was stunned for a moment when he recalled that it was way past midnight, in the wee hours when he fell asleep, and now as he was waking, it didn’t seem like much time had passed!
Could it be that he slept for a day and night?
He sat up and glanced at his phone before he suddenly came to his senses.
This was just like taking a plane out of the country. When the ship crossed the ocean, it would also cross the time zone and there would be a time difference.
Every once in a while, the crew would adjust the clock. Every time it crossed 15 degrees, the time would be set back by an hour.
In that case, he had slept for exactly eight hours.
Youyou stretched his back, changed his clothes, and left the room. He walked to the cabin and the dining room where bread and milk had been prepared. After finishing his breakfast, Youyou walked to the deck, where he saw Gong Jie leaning against the railing and looking out into the horizon.
Youyou walked over and saw him holding the binoculars. He asked curiously, “Uncle, what are you looking at?”
Gong Jie picked him up and handed him the binoculars. “Take a look.”
Youyou took the binoculars and looked into it. He saw that they were slowly approaching an island.
To his great surprise, on the island, there was an imposing grand castle that was heavily guarded.
The reason why it was imposing, was because at the top of the castle a few thin red rays could be seen to be emitting constantly. In the next second, a few helicopters slowly rose and flew towards another island.
“That’s the Gong Family’s castle.”
“Castle…”
Although Youyou had heard that Gong Shaoying lived in a castle, the surprise he felt when he saw the castle with his own eyes was indescribable!
The castle was in typical medieval style. This Karl Castle was built during the Renaissance. The building was cylindrical with a cone-shaped roof. Inside the castle, there were 109 luxuriously decorated rooms, a mysterious tower, a hidden secret passage 390 meters long, an elegant greenhouse garden and a beautiful ten-acre garden.
Gong Shaoying had spent a lot of money to buy this castle and went to the extent of moving it to this island.
