It was critically important to know who had abducted Abdulla, even more crucial than whether or not it was Harold who had reported the incident.
Shaman had lost his black glove; his opponents, rivals, and enemies were literally fighting for their lives.
Therefore, the abduction of Abdulla was unexpected yet logical, and Gao Yi was psychologically prepared for it, but he had not made particularly meticulous preparations.
It truly wasn't Gao Yi's fault.
Firstly, the most unacceptable part of Abdulla's abduction was the landing in Baghdad, which was a decision made on the fly by Gao Yi and Shaman.
Forget about Shaman's enemies, even Gao Yi and Shaman, the two people least willing to see Abdulla in trouble, did not know beforehand that they were going to land in Baghdad.
The original destination of the flight was the United States, not Baghdad.
The people on the plane didn't know they were going to land in Baghdad, and as for Harold, he was even more clueless.
