Charlie felt very moved in his heart, and he said softly, “My dear wife, to be honest, I really do not want to leave right now either. However, the customer this time is a regular customer of mine, and I really cannot turn him down.”Having said that, Charlie paused slightly before he continued, “Wife, why don’t we do this instead? I promise you that I will not accept any new requests for the next month after I am done with the job this time!”The reason why Charlie promised that he would not accept any request for one month was because it would be the Tomb Sweeping Festival slightly after a month, and he would have to go to Eastcliff to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony then. When the time came, he would definitely have to use Feng Shui as an excuse to explain things to Claire, then.When Claire, who was on the other end of the line, heard Charlie saying that he would not be accepting any Feng Shui jobs for one month, her mood finally eased up a little. She also spoke in
As soon as Charlie said that he wanted to head to the airport, Isaac subconsciously asked, “Young Master, you want to go now?”Charlie blurted out, “What else are we waiting for if I am not going to set off now? I estimate that the plane has already taken off. It will arrive at the Aurous Airport in more than twenty minutes. If the helicopter is a little slower, the Concorde might even arrive before us.”At this time, Isaac finally came to his senses as he smiled awkwardly and said, “Yes, yes, that’s right. I forgot that the Concorde is extremely fast. Please wait a moment. I will arrange for the helicopter to prepare for takeoff, then.”After he was done speaking, Isaac picked up the walkie-talkie on the table before he blurted out, “The helicopter crew should prepare and get ready immediately. We will be taking off to head to the Aurous Airport in five minutes!”Very soon, Charlie could hear the sound of the helicopter engine starting coming from the rooftop.Isaac hurriedly sai
A few minutes later, the helicopter that Charlie was in arrived at the Aurous Airport.The Concorde was parked at the end of the airport runway.The pilot spoke up at this time as he said, “Young Master, Chairman Cameron, the people from the airport gave us feedback saying that the Concorde is already prepared to take off. We can land directly next to the Concorde before boarding and taking off immediately!”“Okay!” Charlie nodded. He became more aware of the reason behind the success of many big and influential families, and a large part of it was because of the support and guarantee behind the success.If ordinary people wanted to go to Syria according to the conventional route, it would take them at least twenty-four hours from the moment they boarded the plane.However, with such a complete support system, the time taken to arrive in Syria could be reduced to nearly six hours.The eighteen-hour difference might not seem like a big deal during any ordinary time, and it would b
Yolden would never have dreamt that Charlie was already prepared to head to Syria!His original intention in calling Charlie was not to ask for his help either. This was because he felt that Charlie would not be able to help him in any way either. After all, his daughter was currently in Syria, which was six to seven thousand kilometers away from him, and she was also in the hands of the opposition force who were heavily armed with military equipment.Under this kind of situation, even the Syrian government would not be able to help in any way. So, he never would have thought that Charlie would be able to help him.The reason why Yolden was making this call to Charlie was simply to give him an update about the latest situation. So, when he heard Charlie saying that he was already prepared to head to Syria, he was shocked and completely at a loss for words.After a short while, he subconsciously asked, “Charlie, you… how are you going to get to Syria? No civil aviation is connecte
Yolden did not know of Charlie’s plan.When he heard that Charlie was planning to use money to solve the problem, he was a little relieved.He had originally hoped that the United States Embassy would be willing to pay for the ransom. However, the United States Embassy seemed to have a very firm and determined attitude, and they did not give the opposition force room for any negotiations at all.Now that Charlie was willing to pay the ransom in their place, Yolden felt that as long as the opposition force’s core demands were met, they would naturally honor their promise.So, he was very grateful as he said to Charlie, “Charlie, I will have to leave everything to you, then!”Charlie smiled slightly as he said, “Uncle Hart, you don’t have to worry. The plane is about to takeoff, so I will not continue talking to you anymore.”Yolden quickly replied, “Okay, okay. I will wait for your safe return, then!”After hanging up the phone, Charlie was already seated in the Concorde. Both Ch
“How would I rescue them and bring them out safely?”When Charlie heard Isaac’s question, Charlie smiled bitterly before he replied frankly, “To be honest, I do not know how I am going to rescue them or bring them out safely either.”Isaac asked nervously, “Then, how confident are you this time?”Charlie said seriously, “I have never been to Syria, and I do not know anything about the strength and defense of the Syrian opposition force. However, judging from the situation that you have just mentioned, the information seems to prove that the other party is still very strong and powerful. Even if I am a little capable, it would be impossible for me to take on thousands of soldiers who are armed with live ammunition. So, I can only find a way to sneak in quietly.”As he spoke, Charlie sighed slightly as he said, “If I am lucky, I might be able to sneak in, but if I am not that lucky, I might not even be able to get in at all.”Isaac was very worried as he said, “Young Master, you are
Charlie nodded. “Alright, then. Ask them to arrange for a skydiving instructor to board the plane with me so that he can teach me how to release the parachute and control the direction along the way!”***After flying for more than four hours, Charlie’s Concorde finally landed at the Beirut Airport, in the capital of Lebanon.It was the afternoon in Beirut, and the temperature had already reached about 30 degrees Celsius. The sky was a little hazy, and the air was a little damp. It seemed as though a heavy rain had not fallen even after being held back for a long time.After Charlie’s plane had landed, the plane taxied directly into a huge hangar. At this time, there was also a transport plane with four propeller engines parked in the hangar. A group of crew members was surrounding the plane to conduct a detailed inspection.After the plane had stopped, the ladder was docked. The crew opened the door, and both Charlie and Isaac walked out of the cabin together.At this time, th
After Charlie had boarded the plane, Gary pointed at a foreigner who was checking the parachute bag and said, “Young Master, this is Vladislav from Russia. He was a paratrooper instructor, and he has twenty years of professional experience in skydiving from a high altitude. He is extremely rich in experience.”The Russian man who was referred to as Vladislav stood up before he saluted Charlie as he spoke up in non-fluent Oskian dialect, “Hello, Mr. Wade! I will be temporarily acting as your skydiving instructor. If you are not confident, I can jump together with you when the time comes.”Charlie nodded before he asked, “If I were to jump on my own, what should I be paying attention to?”Vladislav explained, “When we are approaching the destination, I will choose the most suitable skydiving location based on the altitude, airflow, and wind speed around the destination. If you decide to skydive on your own, you will have to be very decisive and jump as soon as I ask you to jump when i
