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

Ye Chen walked over after hearing this. Suddenly, it seemed like he remembered something. He went back to his kitchen, took out a bottle of vinegar, and poured it directly into a bowl.

Then, Ye Chen took the bowl and came outside.

The woman looked at him holding a bowl full of dark liquid, but she didn't know what it was.

"What is this? What are you going to do?"

"Put your hand with the ring into this."

"What? Put it in here? Why?"

"I don't know for sure, but to ensure my safety, you have to keep your finger in here until I come out. Your finger must stay in the whole time."

"My goodness, does this really make sense?"

"I know it doesn't make much sense, but for me, it's probably the safest guarantee. Come on, put your finger in."

He shouted at her, causing her to shudder, but she followed Ye Chen's instructions obediently and stretched out her hand. Finally, Ye Chen eased his mind.

Ye Chen kept a close eye on the image. Initially, only a few bubbles appeared when the hand was first immersed, but then the bubbling sped up until eventually, there were no more bubbles at all.

Ye Chen realized the ring wasn't completely sealed; it likely contained a small chip inside.

Of course, the vinegar is highly corrosive, especially when the ring is submerged in this medium; as it progresses deeper, the accumulation quickens, slowly burning out the chip, signaling that it won't be sending any commands thereafter.

After seeing all this, Ye Chen finally took a deep breath and relaxed.

Finally, he went back to his kitchen to start preparing other things.

Yang Da, anxious, kept waiting for news.

After all, if the information was unsatisfactory, he couldn't easily leave this underground space.

Around noon, suddenly the door knocked. Answering it, he then saw the leader of the Scorpion Gang approach him.

"How are things, any news from that end?"

"President Yang, our informants have made contact with Ye Chen, but only four of them returned. One seems to have been detained by them."

"What, what are you saying? Detained? What does he know? Will he spill everything about me?"

"Don't worry, she only knows her assigned task and for whom she is working. She has no idea of the subsequent plans."

Reassured, Yang Da nodded.

He knew there was an extensive intelligence network under him, commanded by someone else. Thus, Yang Da only needed to issue orders without any direct contact with these operatives.

Thus, the boss's statement was correct; even controlling him wouldn't squeeze any clues out.

"What's going on? These guys never fail when they step in. Why, aside from those four who got away, did they manage to detain one?"

"The detained is the group leader, named Anying, a formidable tracker and impressive woman. But they just took her away; I've no idea what their intentions are."

"So, that means no one knows where exactly she is?"

"Yes, no one knows. Moreover, since Ye Chen left the hotel, there has been no one coming in or out, including himself; he hasn't returned either."

"Then where on earth has he gone?"

"We don't know for sure. Right now, everything we've got is conjecture, so to really figure it out, we must gather more information."

"Also, those sent out to find the U12 members, what's their status?"

"So far, no news. They've been searching based on the clues and environmental backgrounds you previously provided. They say they've targeted a few points but are not sure yet if any of these targets include the people we're looking for."

"About how much longer will it take?"

"If quick, we might get timely feedback by tonight. So, President Yang, please keep waiting patiently. I believe things will clear up soon."

"How am I supposed to keep waiting? Plus, if we can't confirm the U12 members' location, going out now would be a death sentence for me. I can't do it now."

"Then in that case, is there any other way we could get in directly?"

"Impossible, we can't even get to this thing, why would there be any other way? So, this solution simply won't work."

"You seem out of options, so you just have to be patient and wait."

"We will only act immediately after we receive the message from there. Don't worry, if Guo Tao doesn't leave the hotel, then encircling the hotel should ensure they can't escape."

"That's not necessarily true. I tell you, Guo Tao is an old fox. If we tell him directly, he might not agree."

"Well, let's just keep waiting patiently. You go back first. I'll contact you if there's anything. And be ready with our people; we might attack at any moment."

"Okay, I understand, President Yang. Call me anytime if there's anything; I'm just in the next room."

After hearing this, he nodded lightly and waved his hand, and the other person left directly from there.

Like Yang Da, Guo Tao was also waiting for news.
