Rossi looked out the car window at the street.

Go to China?

I wonder if he'll ever have the chance to go to China. I haven't heard from Chu Ning for years. The person who sent her back said she was arrested by their country's police. I wonder if her brother knows she went back, or if he tried to get her back.

Rossi was filled with mixed emotions. In the past few years, he had taken over the family business and learned some of its secrets.

His father, who died young, was a fanatical warmonger, as was the entire family. His marriage to his mother was part of his grandfather's plan when he was alive, with the aim of providing his mother with a dowry that his maternal grandfather could never spend in several lifetimes.

His family values ​​bloodlines highly, and he is the only legitimate heir in the entire family. Fortunately, his father was preoccupied with how to wage war and had no interest in producing younger siblings for him. Fortunately, his mother did not love his father, and after his father passed away two years ago, he sent his mother to the place where she grew up to enjoy her old age.

He then took over the family business, and in recent years he has used swift and decisive methods to bring some shady businesses into his own pocket, while gradually shrinking the development of these businesses. He thinks he will soon be able to withdraw completely.

Rossi's thoughts were interrupted when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

He took out his phone and opened it. There was a very short number. If it weren't for the content inside, Rossi would definitely think it was a spam text message. But his phone was encrypted, so no spam text messages or calls would come in.

“Uncle Rossi, I am Chu Ning’s daughter. Thank you for saving my mother. I am in the third district of Floro. Is it convenient for us to meet? If you don’t have time, please pretend you didn’t see this message.”

"No one will know that I sent you this message." The second message arrived.

Rossi's hands, which were resting on his lap, gradually clenched into fists. If you looked closely, you could see that Rossi's arms were trembling slightly.

"Go to the third district"

"Boss, you have a cocktail party to attend tonight. If you go now, you won't be able to make it back in time."

The secretary in the co-pilot's seat reminded him.

Rossi's gaze swept over the secretary, who flinched.

"Get out of the car. You'll attend the party tonight."

The secretary dared not speak and could only do as instructed, opening the car door and getting out.

Rossi's car drove away in the secretary's sight.

Two cars were speeding along the highway to the third district.

The text message notification came again, and Rossi quickly opened it.

"Uncle, please get off at the next intersection. A car has been arranged to wait for you."

Rossi looked up and saw a car waiting at the fork in the road ahead.

Stop at the car in front.

The two cars stopped at the intersection. Rossi got out and instructed his bodyguards to pull over and wait.

The car door, which had been waiting for a long time, was opened.

Gu Yanci was driving, Yang Run was in the passenger seat, and Chu Xingyue was in the back seat.

The car door opened and a man of elegance and mature charm got in.

"Uncle, hello! I am Chu Xingyue, Chu Ning's daughter." Chu Xingyue spoke fluent Italian.

Chu Xingyue extended her hand, and Rossi, knowing this was the Chinese way of greeting, immediately shook hands with Chu Xingyue before letting go.

"Oh, child, your Italian is so fluent, with a touch of the local Florentine language. If it weren't for your appearance, I would never guess you're Chinese just by listening to you speak."

"Uncle, you're too kind," Chu Xingyue said with a laugh.

"You look just like your mother when you smile."

Rossi looked at Chu Xingyue's smile and immediately thought of his good friend Chu Ning from China.

"Thank you, Uncle, for risking your life to save my mother back then. My mother has been feeling guilty for the past few years since she returned home, because she regretted putting you in danger due to her selfishness."

Chu Xingyue said apologetically.

"No, it was my own choice. Your mother's brother saved my mother back then, and I saved your mother to repay that life-saving debt. Besides, Chu Ning is my good friend, as long as she can go back safely."

Rossi didn't think Chu Ning was selfish at all; he only blamed himself for not having devised a perfect plan.

"Uncle, we came here this time to take down this research institute in one fell swoop, because they have imprisoned my mother for so many years, but I think I may need your help to take us in."

Rossi paused for only a moment after hearing this before speaking.

"Is there a plan?"

"Uncle, don't worry, everything is ready, we're just waiting for you to take us in."

Rossi was somewhat surprised. Was this a sign that he was certain he would come?

"Uncle, don't be surprised that I knew you would definitely come to us. My mother said that when she met you when she was a child, she knew that you were a kind person and someone who extremely hated war. That's why we have the opportunity to talk here now."

"Do you really want to keep investing money in a research institute that's destroying humanity? You certainly don't want to be the financial backer of this executioner, do you?"

Rossi gave a wry smile upon hearing this.

“I thought I would never live to see that day, so I haven’t gotten married or had children yet. I don’t want my son, or my son’s son, to be an accomplice.”

"Don't worry about getting in. I'll figure it out. I'm their second-largest source of funding now, so they won't dare offend me."

Rossi said with certainty.

"Uncle, please rest assured, I will guarantee your safety."

"I think it's necessary for me to tell you something, and I hope you're mentally prepared."

Chu Xingyue and Gu Yanci exchanged a glance. Were there others who didn't know?

"I discovered this last year. In addition to secretly researching nuclear weapons, they were also conducting human experiments. When I took over the family business, I accidentally discovered that a sum of money was being transferred out every six months. This sum of money was no less than that for nuclear weapons research, and sometimes it was even several times more."

Chu Xingyue sat up straight after hearing this. She had previously investigated where the funds went, but the recipient was clearly very careful; all expenditures were recorded under the name of the weapons research institute. She had been puzzled at the time, finding the fees ridiculously high.

"Uncle, could you explain it to us in more detail?"

"I don't know much either. I can't get in touch with anything inside. I only know that they want to research humanoid weapons, like super soldiers, but I don't know if they've developed them after all these years. Because I let your mother go before, they're still quite wary of me, so I'm sorry, that's all I know."

Rossi apologized, saying he had no useful information to offer Chu Xingyue.

"Thank you, Uncle. What you told us is very important to us. I think we need to revise our plans."
