Meanwhile.
East Africa.
Alice led the troops to the hospital grounds. She deployed guards around the hospital and wearing disguises with Hua Jin, they entered the hospital. They then made their way to Gong Jie’s room.
His room was relatively safer. However, the outside of the room was heavily guarded. The FBI had placed the entire ward under close surveillance.
!!
Gong Jie had sustained slight injuries. He had passed the critical period, and the FBI wouldn’t have stood a chance if it were not for the infection caused by his wound when he was first hospitalized.
When one were to be injured in East Africa, plagues and wound infections, as well as the complications after contracting inflammation would be the greatest risks.
Because of the war, there were dead bodies strewn everywhere. It was also because of these decomposing bodies that diseases, bacteria, and viruses spread wantonly.
As soon as he entered the ward, Hua Jin was pleasantly surprised to see Gong Jie, who was fully armed, leaning against the bed.
“Gong…” As soon as he said the word, he realized that he was coming across too excited and immediately restrained himself.
Gong Jie did not expect to see Hua Jin under such circumstances. He turned his puzzled gaze to Alice.
Alice whistled and quickly distanced herself from the situation. “It has nothing to do with me! He sneaked himself in.”
“Sneaked in?” The man echoed suspiciously.
Alice grabbed the actor’s collar with a look of disdain and pursed her lips. “For goodness’ sake, do you know how he sneaked himself in among the troops?! He stole a set of mercenary uniform and combat bag, disguised himself, and then slipped himself in among the men! I was so convinced that I didn’t even notice this!”
Gong Jie’s face darkened when he heard that. “What are you doing here?!”
“I…” The actor made up a random excuse. “I’m just here to take a look around…”
“You came to a war-torn area to take a look around?” The man snorted. “You’ll be called a brainless idol if you posted this online.”
The actor exhaled. “I’m not a public figure anymore. There’s no need to be so taboo!”
During his days as a public figure, he had to be on tenterhooks with every word he said. It was so stressful. In fact, every word spoken to the camera had to be edited by the public relations company. Every word was very deliberate.
For an ordinary person, making jokes in private would not be a big deal. No one would take it to heart. Whereas for public figures, a little flaw and a little disadvantage would be infinitely magnified. Even if it were an unintentional mistake, he would be doomed!
Although he had been out of the entertainment industry for so long, he had never adapted to such a sloppy life. There were no undercover paparazzi trailing him, he wasn’t kept busy with endless events. Gradually, he felt at ease to speak as he pleased.
Alice glanced at him from the corner of her eye, feeling a little helpless. “Hey, do you have to be so arrogant? Can’t you just say that you’re worried about him?”
The actor retorted stubbornly. “Who’s worried?”
Gong Jie’s expression relaxed somewhat upon hearing this. “Oh? Are you here because you’re worried about me?”
“Of course not!”
The actor denied it outrightly while he glared at Alice. “If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll…”
“You’ll what exactly?” Alice gave his head a shove and said, “Don’t you know that having a liability like you around will bring us a lot of trouble? I told you not to come with us, but you shamelessly followed us. Yet you’re arrogant and refuse to say what you really mean. Obviously you’re worried, but you refuse to say it! I really can’t stand you!”
