I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier

"If U12 really comes here, wouldn't that be a significant threat to us?"

"Yes, strictly speaking, that's the case. However, given the current situation, we're unsure of which direction to go. We must face everything head-on, and if U12's members really come here, no matter how difficult, we still have to get it done."

"It was supposed to rely only on us old guys, I feel, indeed, it's kind of difficult."

"You only need to deal with some peripheral forces, and I've arranged others to handle the core force. Even if he is indeed formidable, he's not a god, just a normal person after all, rest assured, I have my own plan."

"Old Master, you didn't just arrange for the mercenary, did you?"

"If he is from U12, then I really need to deploy my mercenaries, and only they can truly accomplish this."

"By the way, have they arrived in Sea City yet?"

"The vanguard troops should have arrived, but as for the others, through what means and routes they've entered Sea City, I'm not too sure. However, I only know that their entry methods would definitely be illegal since each member probably carries several lives on their backs."

"No wonder, after all these years, they have never appeared domestically."

"Yes, once they step into the country, it would immediately attract attention. So, their appearance would indeed cause a huge sensation, and I don't want to escalate this matter."

"Alright, I understand. Let's go retrieve the Jade Ring now, and then, following your orders tomorrow, we'll search in various directions to see if there are any traces of these people."

"Correct, continue with this method. Then, if we can pinpoint those individuals, it's best to defeat them individually. If we let their members join together, that would pose a significant threat to us."

"I understand, Old Master, after such a long flight journey, you should rest early."

"Okay, understood. After a while, just bring the Jade Ring directly to me."

"Alright, I know, Old Master, should I take you to Sea City, or should you find a temporary room here?"

"No need to go. Since that old thing is in the town now, if I go there, it will definitely draw attention to me. So, I'd rather do less than more now and just stay hidden here for the time being, this place should still be relatively safe."

"Right, although they've already searched it before, the entrance location is not easily discoverable. Even if they know there's a secret Underground Hospital here, they can't handle everything."

"Alright, I understand."

After saying this, he just nodded and then got up to leave from this place.

At this moment, it was already deep into the night.

But Ye Chen had no intention of sleeping at all. He quietly took out his phone and checked the time; it was already 3:00 AM.

In about two or three hours, it would be daylight. He didn't know what they would face then, but one thing he was sure of was that no matter how difficult the situation ahead, they must persist.

"Ye Chen, big brother."

Suddenly, a voice appeared behind Ye Chen, and he quickly turned back to look.

He thought Guo Hongyu had already fallen into deep sleep, but unexpectedly, he hadn't slept at all.

Perhaps because he had just checked the time on his phone, he now spoke.

"What's up? It's already 3 AM, haven't you slept at all?"

"Haha, I haven't been able to sleep, and I knew you must have been awake too."

At this point, Ye Chen felt it was pointless to stay any longer, so he got up from the bed and turned on the room's light.

The room instantly lit up.

"Alright, since neither of us is sleeping, let's just stay up and have a good talk. Continuing to try and sleep here, for me, is really a torturous ordeal."

"Yes, I've also been tossing and turning, unable to sleep. You know, I feel like I haven't encountered such big trouble in years, and I'm also unsure if Grandpa will be able to resolve this smoothly."

"I originally thought this was a minor issue, and with my personal abilities, I should have been able to handle it."

"But, I didn't expect that our opponents would be so strong. If that's the case, I now seriously doubt that when they stole the Jade Ring, it was a long-planned act."

"This matter, when I later discussed it with Grandpa, I also thought about this point. It must be that Yang Da is behind this, planning and directing this to provoke us and give him enough reason to deal with us."

"Who knows what kind of fierce battle we'll face when it gets light?"

"Didn't Grandpa say? There shouldn't be such a situation occurring in the short term."

"Ah, right, I haven't asked you yet, before you came to Sea City, were you in charge of the company's affairs all along?"

"The company, I go every day, but I'm only responsible for a part of it. Most operations are not yet under our control."

"By the way, what is your company doing now?"

"Mainly involved in import-export trade, completely different from our previous factory work. After that batch of materials had issues, we realized this matter was serious, so we gave up that industry and switched to import-export trade. Over the years, the company has indeed grown quite well."

"That's good. I believe, with your way of doing business, you might be at a disadvantage, but such integrity is indeed rare."
