Chapter 2104: Chapter 2007: Armory
Gu Xu glanced at Huo Sining and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"I have to go to Mexico. Ouyang Jun just called me, and he seems to have gotten into big trouble. I need to get over there and find a way to bring him back. Otherwise, the people from the Ouyang Family will go crazy with worry."
As soon as Huo Sining heard that Gu Xu was going to Mexico, she became anxious: "Things are so chaotic over there. Are you sure you can handle it by yourself? I’m going with you!"
With that, Huo Sining stood up from the dining table and followed Gu Xu upstairs to pack their things.
Gu Xu frowned deeply when he heard Huo Sining wanted to go too: "You can’t go. You’re pregnant!"
But Huo Sining was resolute in her opinion: "I must go. I’m only a month pregnant, and it’s not like I’m about to give birth. Besides, you should know my Azure Pearl has a self-protection awareness and won’t let me get hurt. In crucial moments, I can completely protect myself and definitely won’t be a burden to you."
"And you should know, I have Space and the Water-Repelling Pearl. Taking me along might just be a huge help to you. At least when you need equipment, I can effortlessly help you get them out, and there won’t be any problems at airport security!"
Gu Xu was taken aback, then smiled wryly.
He knew very well that he couldn’t refute the reason Huo Sining presented. He understood that having his wife with him was like holding a trump card. Without mentioning anything else, her Invisibility Skill alone meant that whether it was breaking into a drug den in Mexico or the U.S. White House, it wouldn’t be an issue.
Gu Xu couldn’t refuse Huo Sining’s request, so after thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed, stating he could take Huo Sining to Mexico, but all actions must follow his command. No spontaneous actions, and if any danger arises, prioritizing personal safety is a must; when necessary, they must choose self-protection.
Huo Sining nodded, indicating her agreement with Gu Xu’s suggestion.
The couple packed their luggage and left the house without bothering to tell Yue Shuwen and the others, who hadn’t yet gotten up.
Gu Xu had already instructed his secretary to help book the flight tickets. He then took Huo Sining to a remote location.
Huo Sining didn’t know where Gu Xu was taking her but didn’t ask either. They arrived at a shop that looked completely unremarkable. Once inside, he directly handed a card to the shop owner.
The owner looked at Gu Xu’s card and didn’t ask any unnecessary questions, directly opened the door, and led them inside. After an unknown number of turns, they finally arrived at a very concealed warehouse.
Both of them performed a fingerprint match before the warehouse door opened. Upon entering the warehouse, Huo Sining was immediately startled.
The warehouse was actually a small arsenal, with all sorts of firearms and ammunition fully stocked.
Without wasting time, Gu Xu quickly grabbed several guns, ranging from small handguns to large ones, and took a considerable amount of bullets. Lastly, he even grabbed more than ten laser cannons.
The shop owner didn’t seem to question what Gu Xu intended to do with the items. After collecting everything, they left the shop and directly closed the hidden door.
Once the door was shut, the shop reverted to its inconspicuous state. The shop sells miscellaneous goods, looking completely ordinary from the outside. The shop owner, a cripple and wearing shabby clothes, made the shop appear unassuming to anyone unaware of its secrets, never guessing an arsenal was hidden within!
Back in the car, Huo Sining sat in the back seat, and using the cover of the car windows, she directly stored the batch of firearms into her Space. She then looked up, curiously asking Gu Xu:
"If I’m not mistaken, Huaxia Country bans the sale of firearms, right? What’s the deal with this shop?"
Seeing Huo Sining’s surprised and doubtful expression, Gu Xu smiled and said: "Don’t worry, this is definitely not illegal. That arsenal is specifically for the military, not a private one. My card is only held by special personnel in the military district. Without that card, one can’t access the warehouse, let alone take the weapons."
Huo Sining froze, recalling that her husband was not only the CEO of the Shengtang Group but also held another identity as the captain of Falcon Special Forces.
It seemed being a special forces member had its perks, like having such privileges. No wonder this guy didn’t reject her suggestion to accompany him to Mexico; he had already planned on bringing weapons overseas.
"See, I told you, taking me along is like having a free suitcase, and a secret safe at that. Without me, getting these items to Mexico would only leave you helpless."
Huo Sining couldn’t help but look at Gu Xu with some pride and smiled.
Gu Xu nodded: "Yes, my wife is so impressive. Now let’s head to the airport; soon we’ll see your skills!"
Huo Sining slightly raised her chin and said: "Don’t worry. Back in Tokyo, I managed to bring back a batch of Ouyang Jun’s CNC machines, so these guns are just a small case."
They rushed to the airport, and on the way, Gu Xu received a call from Qin Lianshan. Clearly, Master Qin also found out immediately about his grandson Ouyang Jun’s troubles.
"Grandpa Qin, rest assured, I’m on my way to the airport now. I’ve booked the fastest flight to Mexico. Jun Zi called me from there; I’ve already located his address. I’ll find a way to bring him back for you. Don’t worry, Jun Zi’s always been clever and surely won’t get into trouble!"
Gu Xu, hearing Elder Qin’s anxious tone on the phone and Ouyang Jun’s mother’s crying, quickly offered reassurances.
Qin Lianshan understood Gu Xu’s words were to soothe his emotions. After all, Mexico was so far away, and distant waters can’t quench nearby fires. They could only pray Ouyang Jun had good fortune and that fate was on his side.
"Alright, go find him for me. Do everything you can and let fate decide. If it doesn’t work out, be sure to prioritize your safety and avoid direct confrontations. Keep yourself safe before rescuing others!"
Gu Xu smiled and said: "Rest assured, I have a secret weapon with me; there definitely won’t be any issues."
Saying that, Gu Xu didn’t forget to glance playfully at Huo Sining, her lips curling into a teasing smile.
