Ice and Fire novel Chapter 416

At the elite preschool, Joe was sitting in his classroom reading his comic book. It was an extra curricular activity class, and all of the students had a free choice in what they wanted to do. Most of the children were playing out on the playground, and just a few of them remained in the classroom.

"Joe! Joe! Something bad is happening!" suddenly cried Mike as he ran inside the classroom followed by Anna.

Joe looked up from his comic book and saw that Mike was running towards him. He asked him, "What happened? What's the emergency?"

Anna hastily replied, "Joe, have you read the news today? The JS Group is in big trouble."

"Yeah, and the JS Group's sponsor is your Dad. Do you think that your Dad is in danger?" asked Mike.

"What's going on?" asked Joe confusedly. Why wasn't he aware of such important news?

"You'd better read the news first, " said Anna.

Joe then immediately took out his iPad from his schoolbag. After he powered it and turned on the wi-fi, the headline news that popped on the screen shocked him.

Joe tapped on the page and seriously looked at the news report.

After Mike thought that Joe had finished reading it, he carefully asked, "Joe, what should we do now?"

Joe looked up from the tablet and stared blankly ahead of him. He then seriously said, "Aunt Selina must be in big trouble now! The ZM Group is certainly aiming at my Daddy and Aunt Selina."

"Maybe they are; I heard from my Dad that Mond, the Executive President of the ZM Group, is a real badass, " said Anna.

Joe then suddenly stood up from his desk, and said to Mike, "Can you help me ask for a leave from my teacher? I'm going to the JS Group right now."

"Joe, can you do it alone? Do you want us to go with you?" asked Anna.

"No, there's no need for you to come with me. I'll go alone, " said Joe. He then quickly grabbed his schoolbag and ran out of the classroom.

Joe ran out of the school and stopped the first taxi that he saw outside the school gate. He quickly got inside the taxi, and said to the driver, "Sir, drive me to the JS Building!"

When the driver heard that Joe was going to the JS Group, he turned his head and stared at Joe with a surprised look on his face.

"What's the matter? Are you afraid that I can't pay you the fare?" Joe thought that the driver was afraid that he was too young to have any money on him. He took out two pieces of RMB from his schoolbag and threw them directly to the driver, at the same time saying, "Is that enough? Go! Now!"
