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

"Li Lao, I know what you're worried about in your heart, and I'm sure you have my safety in mind. But rest assured, since it's a task assigned by the old master, there will definitely be no problems. You can be completely at ease, I will complete the mission a hundred percent."

"Good, that's what I wanted to hear from you. If that's the case, then alright, hand this item over to him when the time comes. After he receives it, he'll know what to do next. Then, hurry back here and meet up with us to discuss the next plan of action, okay?"

"Understood, old master, I guarantee the plan will be executed."

As they spoke, Guo Tao simply looked at him with satisfaction, then stood up and gently patted his shoulder, as if he was indeed very approving of him.

"Take good care of this item. After that, he'll know what to do."

Having said that, the old master casually pulled out an ancient bronze-colored ring from his pocket.

Judging just by its appearance, one could feel that there was indeed something unusual about this ring. But he thought that if this was the case, the item must hold significant importance for them.

Ye Chen, having taken the item and after the old master's repeated reminders, hurriedly stood up and left the place directly.

Once Ye Chen had left, then Yang Da rushed to the window and kept a careful watch from there.

In about two or three minutes, he then saw Ye Chen appearing below and swiftly disappearing from view.

"Old master, you can relax. He has left this place and from what I can observe, there are no less than five people tailing him."

"My goodness, five people. I really can't imagine how many people he has laid an ambush with around this hotel. But fortunately, everything is still under my control."

"Grandfather, they... They won't come directly up here, will they?"

As he spoke, a sudden sense of tension seemed to grip Guo Hongyu.

After all, Guo Hongyu had been well-protected all along and had hardly faced any setbacks. So now, facing such a predicament truly made him feel uncomfortable.

"Don't worry. We've booked this entire floor of the hotel, and our people are everywhere around here. He definitely wouldn't dare to make a move easily. Besides, those he has arranged are only responsible for surveillance and staying behind; they are not responsible for the actual operations. So Yang Da is not that foolish. At this moment, he definitely wouldn't attempt to enter the hotel."

After saying this, Guo Hongyu nodded, as if he felt reassured by these arrangements, at least for the time being.

"Grandfather, then what do you think I should do?"

"You don't need to do anything. Right now, there's an issue with a shipment at the company dock; it seems to have been seized. The company has already sent emails out. You go back to your room, review all the emails, and if there are indeed no issues afterward, then we'll figure out how to handle this matter."

"Why make me do these things at a time like this? Can't you just have someone else do it? Moreover, since it's our cargo, the dock should definitely be aware of it. I don't think there's anything that needs to be dealt with."

To Guo Hongyu, it seemed like a very simple matter that any company secretary or his own assistant should be able to handle quite easily.

But why at this crucial time would Guo Tao entrust such a task to him? So Guo Hongyu truly didn't understand.

"If I'm asking you to do it, just do it. Is there anything else you want to say? Besides, what good would your words do now? Ye Chen still hasn't returned. Once he's back, if you want to know anything, wouldn't it be fine to have him come straight over?"

Seeing that Guo Tao was speaking in such a manner, Guo Hongyu realized that arguing further probably wouldn't give him any advantage, so he simply nodded and then stood up to leave the room.

Of course, both Yang Da and Li Fu had been with the old master for many years and were very aware of his actions.

They knew that the old master had intentionally sent Guo Hongyu away, perhaps to make it more convenient for them to communicate.

"Now that all who need to leave have gone, old master, please speak up, what exactly do you mean?"

"Heh, actually, this time, the task I gave him is essentially inconsequential. So now, what I really want to do is to truly test Ye Chen to see how capable he really is."

"What? Old master, are you using this matter to test him? Isn't this a joke? If he really can't shake off those tails, wouldn't that bring us a lot of trouble?"

Hearing this, Li Fu immediately became anxious. He hadn't expected that the old master would take such a serious matter lightly; this was concerning their very lives and fortune.

"Don't worry. The place he's going to does have a member, and this member is very adept at handling these tails. So even if he brings the tails over, they will be dealt with by this member before he meets up with them."

"So, your purpose is to test Ye Chen's ability?"

"Yes, I want to see his ability to adapt on the fly and then test his actual skills. I've only heard rumors about him before, and this time, I want to witness it all firsthand."

After saying this, Hongyu gave a profound nod, but Li Fu seemed to sense that there were things he didn't quite understand.

Two people, originally unrelated, have now reencountered here, all because of kindness and matters involving the Jade Ring.
