When Matthew saw Gu Qiya, he was very surprised. He couldn't believe that the future leader of the circle had the time to visit Hua Xia.
"Do you know why she's here?" Xu Yun asked calmly.
Matthew shook his head. He didn't know what to do, but his sixth sense told him that Gu Qiya didn't come to Hua Xia for a casual visit. It wasn't hard to tell. Her face was full of sadness and anger. When she met his eyes, there was even a trace of resentment and helplessness.
"Miss Gu … I …" Matthew's brows were knitted together. He tried to ask, but found that he didn't know what to say.
Gu Qiya really wanted to explode, but she knew that resentment and anger couldn't solve the problem. Before this, she seemed to have a lot of things that she wanted to say to Matthew and let him experience the pain that she was feeling now, but at this moment, she was at a loss for words.
"Matthew." Xu Yun saw that Gu Qiya didn't want to speak, so he took the initiative to break the ice. "Do you know how much trouble Qiya caused this time to help us get back to Hua Xia?"
"Could it be …" Matthew realized the seriousness of the matter. He didn't need Xu Yun to say more. He knew that he had implicated Gu Qiya and the circle. The Americans' methods were not simple. Their investigation skills were definitely the best in the world. It wasn't difficult to find out that it was the circle's ship that took him out to sea.
Gu Qiya's burden was finally lifted. She met Matthew's gaze and said seriously, "The circle is already … in name only. My father, brother, and the elders of the circle, the hall masters, the people in charge of the various industries, everyone has lost contact. "
Hiss —!! Matthew sucked in a cold breath. Weren't the Americans too ruthless this time? They didn't care about the circle's feelings.
"And the Americans didn't just attack Vancouver and Toronto. They also attacked at sea." Gu Qiya said, "My ship was attacked crazily by the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force when it was dozens of nautical miles away from Japan's territorial waters. I don't care if my ship sinks, but I care about the mercenary group that has been in the arms business with me for so many years. Everyone in the mercenary group doesn't have it easy. If it wasn't to give their families a better life, they wouldn't have risked their lives like this. "
Gu Qiya furrowed her brows in pain. "I know that there are too many things in this world that we can't control with our own strength. But I've always hoped that the brothers of their mercenary group could follow me on my ship. No matter how big of a trouble they encounter, they would be able to return with their lives. My request is very simple. I don't ask for peace or fortune. I just hope that it won't be like this … They're all very skilled and can fight against ten strong warriors. But when faced with the Japanese's heavy firepower, I'm afraid they won't even be able to leave a complete corpse … "
Gu Qiya didn't need to say much. The tragic scene was presented in front of Xu Yun and Matthew. When the difference in military strength was huge, it was inevitable that the weaker side would become a living hell.
Although the large circle's arms merchant ships sold arms, the difference in equipment between them and the Japanese warships was too big.
The Japanese warships had all the weapons that Gu Qiya's ship had. The Japanese warships also had the weapons that Gu Qiya's ship didn't have. Not only did the enemy have many times more soldiers than them on each warship, but they also had people flying in the sky and diving underwater …
The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force had the upper hand.
With such a huge difference in strength, how could Gu Qiya and the rest fight? Other than fighting like a suicide squad, there was no other way to attack the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.
With Gu Qiya's looks and figure, she could be considered an outstanding beauty. Her smile could topple cities. If she fell into the hands of the shameless Japanese soldiers, the consequences would be unimaginable. The mercenaries risked their lives to open a way for Gu Qiya to escape the encirclement.
When Matthew found out that the mercenaries had been completely wiped out, the pain in his heart was so intense and so obvious!
He hated how his actions had implicated so many innocent people! Although those mercenaries were usually rough and irascible, there wasn't a single one of them who wasn't a man of steel!
And the culprit who caused all of them to be buried at the bottom of the sea in the stomach of the fish was him, Kevin Mathew! It was because of the unquenchable flames of revenge in his heart that led to today's tragedy. If it wasn't for him, everything would be as peaceful as before. No one would have died an unnatural death.
"Miss Gu … I'm sorry." Matthew's apology was sincere, but no matter how sincere it was, it couldn't be exchanged for so many lives.
In Matthew's heart, he felt that this apology was so trivial, so pathetic, and ridiculous.
"If an apology is meaningful and can let everything go back to how it was before, I'll accept your apology." I will definitely accept your apology without any hesitation. "Gu Qiya said," But it's a pity that an apology doesn't have any meaning. Isn't it? "
"Yes …" Matthew lowered his head.
Gu Qiya said slowly, "I'm not here to blame you. No one can foresee the future. If you knew the consequences would be like this, even if you wanted to go out to sea with my ship, Xu Yun wouldn't have agreed."
This was definitely the decision that Xu Yun had regretted the most in the past year.
"I'm here because I hope you can help me," Gu Qiya said. Gu Qiya said, "The Americans are willing to do anything for this matter. They can even collude with the Japanese military …"
"Old Master Gu and the main backbone of the Great Circle can't be contacted …" Matthew said to himself, "The Americans must have taken them away. It must be. The Americans must think that the Great Circle and I planned this together … I'll think of a way … I'll think of a way …"
After anxiously pacing back and forth a few times, Matthew said to Xu Yun with certainty, "I know what to do. That's it. I'll contact a friend of mine in the United States right now. I'll ask him to tell the CIA agents to release them, and I'll go back to the United States with them. Then, we'll be fine."
Using himself in exchange was the best solution that Kevin Mathew could think of.
However, he didn't think that Xu Yun and the others really didn't want him to leave Hua Xia. If he fell into the hands of the Americans this time and they knew that he had been to Hua Xia, they would definitely force him to contribute to the research of the American military. If he didn't agree, he wouldn't have been treated the way he was before. If the American military couldn't get a treasure, they would rather destroy it than let Hua Xia have it.
They were the ones who promoted the threat of Hua Xia. They were the ones who were afraid that Hua Xia's military was stronger. Therefore, they would definitely do something like this.
"You only have two choices when you go back. The first is to die. The second is to be used by the Americans." Xu Yun said, "If you hadn't been to Hua Xia, the Americans might have treated you like a rare treasure. However, once you come into contact with Hua Xia, the Americans will feel that your existence is a threat to them. You won't have an easy life."
"I know." Matthew nodded. "But what else can I do … I can't let Mr. Gu and the others suffer in the United States because of me … The CIA agents are really …" Thinking that Gu Qiya was still there, Matthew swallowed the words he was about to say.
Gu Qiya suddenly said, "No. You can't do that. If the Americans know that you went back because of my dad, they will definitely use my dad to threaten you to continue doing things that you don't want to do! Then you won't have a choice. If you don't do it, you and my dad will both die. If you do it, it means that you will make the Americans stronger and let them do more hegemonic things in the world! You need to stay in Hua Xia and work hard for Hua Xia's strength! Only then will the Americans not dare to casually bully us Chinese!! "
