Chapter 611 Gordon’s Support
“Nope. Everyone’s either at work or school. Sometimes, they may go on holidays to relax,” Wynter explained.
Gordon’s eyes reddened as he said, “That’s great. Truly wonderful!”
One would never grasp the mindset of someone from a different generation.
Why should one study hard or strive to earn more money? Because they desired to ensure that their fellow compatriot would not go hungry or suffer from oppression. It was all that mattered.
Wynter was a normal person, focused solely on herself. But she always held onto the belief that noble Individuals existed in the world. They harbored grand ideals and dedicated themselves to the common people’s welfare.
Wynter felt immensely fortunate to have been part of the Quinnell family because Gordon was undoubtedly such a person. Although he was a businessman, he was very righteous.
“What do you need me to do, young lady?” After regaining his composure, Gordon handed back the phone
to Wynter.
Though he wished to inspect it further, he had more pressing matters to settle. He needed to remain clear
-headed.
Gordon added, “My principle is clear. I will never collaborate with the Foplyans.”
“Don’t worry. You won’t have to do that.” After checking her items, Wynter continued, “As long as you. agree to attend the banquet, leave the rest to me. I won’t let the other parties have any opportunity to take photos.”
“Are you coming along?” Gordon asked seriously.
“Of course! I’ll be your granddaughter so I can snoop around the consulate to investigate.”
Gordon’s first instinct was to reject Wynter’s plan. “You’re planning to investigate the Foplya consulate?
No, that’s too dangerous.”
To reassure him, Wynter revealed the gun she
had hidden. “I killed the Foplyan pursuer myself and took this gun from him. Please trust me, I can take care of myself.
“Besides, attending the banquet alone would make them suspicious. You can put them at ease if you
bring me along.
“I’m just a young woman who has studied abroad and experienced little hardships. You can draw the Foplyan officer’s attention while I sneak around.”
Wynter raised her hand and continued, “The young girl outside had her sister taken to the Foplya
consulate a long time ago. Many children have also suffered the same fate.
‘The Foplyan intend to exploit your influence for something nefarious. The children must be somehow.

“The Foplyans would never educate them out of the goodness of their hearts. Something is going on at
the consulate, and I must find out.”
Gordon was reminded of a bloodied young man who had escaped from the Foplya consulate. He had
asked to see someone from the Youth Daily and handed over a roll of film. The Foplyans had captured
the man because of that film.
In the end, the young man didn’t survive. He never even had the chance to deliver the film to the Youth
Daily.
The Quinnell family was now under surveillance, making it difficult to make any move.
The Foplyans were notoriously cunning and would not resort to overt violence. They preferred the young
man to meet with someone so that they had the chance to capture the entire Youth Daily team.
Furthermore, the film had been mostly damaged and might not even be salvageable. Wynter was right to
say that something fishy was happening at the Foplya consulate.
Gordon leaned on his cane and stood up. “All right, but you must promise me to be cautious inside. They are extremely ruthless. On the Quinnell family’s behalf, I thank you for your efforts.”
Given the nation’s dire circumstances, Gordon had already prepared for the worst.
