The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

He didn't know that it wasn't that his phone was broken, but that the area was covered by an information network, preventing him from sending any messages.

Enraged, Ichiki smashed his phone to pieces. "Damn it, of all times it had to break down like this! Take out all your communication devices and see if you can get the message out!"

Tianye immediately took out his phone, but the situation wasn't much better; there wasn't a single bar of signal.

"It seems that the Great Zhou Dynasty had already taken precautions before we boarded the ship, just to prevent us from spreading the news. How despicable."

He has already taken several sets of photos and plans to send them back to headquarters.

If they can develop a replica of this Jiaolong warship, their country's strength will be elevated to a new level.

But now there's no signal at all, so it can't get through.

After much deliberation, Tianye made a bold decision: "Why don't I jump into the water now and swim back to the shore so I can send the photos back?"

"But doing that is too dangerous!"

Ichiki glanced at the height and did not support his idea.

You might accidentally get minced into meat by the oars below.

Tianye glanced at his location; it was indeed quite risky, and he was far from the shore. If his phone accidentally got wet, all the files stored on it would be lost, with no chance of survival.

After much deliberation, he realized that he had no choice but to take the risk and see if the other party would agree to let him leave.

"I'll pretend to be feeling unwell later, and you guys can take this opportunity to tell them to take me away in a small boat. This is a matter of life and death, and they shouldn't just stand by and do nothing."

Tianye came up with this idea.

After discussing it together, everyone agreed that this was the most feasible solution at the moment.

"Alright, let's do it your way!"

At this point, Ichiki-kun had no other choice.

I just hope everything goes smoothly.

So, the group went to the most conspicuous spot in the crowd, and Tianye instantly collapsed to the ground.

Ichiki-kun also joined in the act, saying to the people around him, "My companion has fallen ill, but we didn't bring any medicine. Could you please take us back first? We're not going to the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Upon hearing the news, Amei rushed over immediately.

Seeing the other person lying on the ground with a pale face, she panicked a little.

"Take us back immediately. If anything happens to him, I won't let you off easily."

"Ichiki-kun said with a stern expression."

“I think this young man is in pretty serious condition. Let’s take him away in a small boat first, so that he doesn’t really die here. You’ll have a lot of trouble with that.”

A kind old man stepped forward and spoke up.

Amei was in a dilemma because there was no explicit rule that once they boarded the Jiaolong ship, they could only continue forward and there was no turning back.

At this moment, Bai Huai'an, the captain of the Imperial Guard, squeezed out from the crowd.

He stepped forward to check on the man, but was stopped by the people around him.

"You're not allowed to touch my brother. His life is hanging in the balance. If you sabotage him in secret, how will he survive?"

Bai Huai'an felt that he was making baseless accusations: "I have no past grudges or recent feuds with him, why would I want to harm him?"

Even if it's to harm someone, there has to be a reason. If they're afraid to let themselves be examined, there's definitely something fishy going on.

Before setting off, the general had instructed that such incidents must be prevented from happening again.

"Anyway, you have to let the small boat take us down. We just don't want to go to the Great Zhou Dynasty. I need to get medical treatment for my brother."

No matter what, Yi Mu Jun refused to let Bai Huai An get close, because they knew in their hearts that Tian Ye was faking illness.

Bai Huai'an also stopped approaching, lest these people stir up emotions here and damage the reputation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even without a check-up, he had other options: "Since you insist on finding a doctor, we have one here that will guarantee your brother's safety."

After Bai Huai'an finished speaking, he immediately called the doctor.

The Jiaolong ship is fully equipped, with not only doctors but also plenty of food. In short, it's like a prosperous little island.

When Ichiki heard that there was a doctor here, he panicked. He knew that Tianye was faking illness and that the doctor would expose him.

At that point, let alone leaving this place, they might even be despised by others.

"No, how would I know the skill level of your doctors? If treatment is delayed, can you take responsibility?"

Bai Huai'an looked down at him and said, "I'll take responsibility for anything that happens. If anything happens to your brother during the treatment, I'm willing to give my life for it."

Even from a distance, he could tell that the other person was breathing evenly and didn't look sick at all.

The reason for all this commotion is simply to get out of here.

As for why he was leaving, Bai Huai'an's gaze fell on Tian Ye's hands.

He was still clutching his phone tightly in his hand; it seems his motives were more than just that!

Bai Huai'an said expressionlessly, "Get a doctor to treat him immediately, and bring me his phone."

Upon hearing that they needed to get their phones, not only Ichiki-kun, who was acting, but even Tano, who was lying on the ground, started to panic.

His slender fingers gripped the phone tightly, which held their unspeakable secrets. The phone was his lifeline; even if it cost him his life, he would never let its contents be exposed to the public.

“You have no right to inquire about our privacy. If this is the style of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then I am truly amazed.”

Ichiki began to incite the crowd's emotions, attempting to disrupt the order of the scene.

"If you can check our phones anytime, anywhere, what kind of security do we have?"

"Yes, I think this person is right. Everyone has their own privacy. Constantly interrogating people is clearly a violation of our right to privacy."

A man with a pointed face and monkey-like features tightly guarded his cell phone, which contained many shady videos and secrets unknown to others.

If his property is searched, his life will be ruined.

"I don't have time to waste arguing with you. If I've truly wronged you, I'm willing to pay with my life."

Without further ado, Bai Huai'an stepped forward and snatched the phone from Tian Ye's hand.

He opened his phone and found that it was not password protected. One click led to the photo album, which was full of pictures of the attack weapons on the Jiaolong ship.

Not only that, but every design detail of the Jiaolong ship was also clearly photographed and compiled into a document, but unfortunately this document could not be sent out.

Bai Huai'an was quick-witted; in just a few seconds, he figured out the whole story.

It turns out that Tianye was faking illness; his real intention was to sneak out and deliver a message.

These people are all up to no good and are trying to fool them. "What's going on with the photos in this phone's album?"

Even with the evidence right in front of him, Yimu Jun remained stubborn and argued, "They were just some photos my brother thought were nice and took casually. Does your Great Zhou Dynasty mean you're so stingy that you won't even let people take landscape photos?"

"Taking landscape photos is fine, but you photographed our weapons and even compiled them into data to send to your country. How do you explain that?"

Bai Huai'an confiscated the phone and had no intention of returning it.

Before he even arrived here, the general had repeatedly warned him to be careful of the people here.

After all, these people are ambitious and will definitely take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Jiaolong ship, which will surely cause a lot of trouble.

Sure enough, these guys managed to sneak in and take so many photos.

Bai Huai'an now suspects that there must be spies from other countries among this group of tourists.

Without concrete evidence, he couldn't possibly search everyone's pockets. This field was unlucky enough to fall into his hands, so he could only use this opportunity to make an example of it, to warn those with ill intentions to behave themselves.

"And this so-called brother of yours probably isn't even sick!"

The doctor examined the patient but found no other major problems.

“This person has a strong and powerful pulse, is not sick at all, and has no symptoms of discomfort.”

In other words, he lay on the ground like a corpse, simply looking for an opportunity to leave.

If they can't even see this, then they're really brainless.

Bai Huai'an instructed his subordinates: "Arrest these two people and any suspicious people around them, and keep them under strict guard. If they dare to struggle, deal with them on the spot."

These words were spoken not only to those who had been arrested, but also to the spies among the crowd.

"How dare you arrest us? You have no right to do this!"

"We are free people, what right do you have to arrest us? This is against the rules!"

No matter how much these people struggled, Bai Huai'an ignored them.

After taking these people away, he said to the tourists, "Don't worry, everyone. As long as you are ordinary people who come here to visit, the Great Zhou Dynasty warmly welcomes you."

"But now that we've come this far, I also want to say to those with ulterior motives: don't have any improper thoughts, lest you end up losing more than you gain."

After saying that, he left with the suspicious men, and the crowd began to disperse.

Diwa was particularly nervous; he had a lot of photos saved on his phone and took them as soon as he boarded the ship.

The most photographed items were the weapons here, also for the purpose of sending them back to their own countries.

But he found that he couldn't send a signal. Just as he was thinking about how to leave, someone else was even more unlucky than him and was directly exposed.

Diva only breathed a long sigh of relief after the Royal Guards had gone far away.

Galawa told him, "Quickly delete the photos on your phone. We can't act rashly. Those two are a cautionary tale."

Diva nodded repeatedly, unusually agreeing with Galava: "I'll delete them right now, not a single one will be left."

He didn't dare keep a single photo inside; he deleted them all completely.

He used to have the idea of ​​sending the photos back to headquarters to gain merit, but now he has no such thought at all.

This Great Zhou Dynasty is even more powerful than he imagined. Without internet here, their cell phones are like scrap metal in their hands.

Before he left, Galawa warned, "Watch out for that guy in white; he's not someone we can mess with."

He was talking about Bai Huai'an; apart from the captain, no one could control him.

After learning what had happened, Amei felt guilty for not keeping a close watch on the situation and was filled with deep remorse.

She took the initiative to apologize to Bai Huai'an: "Brother Bai, I'm sorry, I didn't know these people would sneak in."

"It's not your fault. Now that the road is open, they'll try every means to sneak in," Bai Huai'an comforted him.

Bai Huai'an sat upright in the monitoring room. Surveillance equipment was installed in every hidden corner of this massive Jiaolong warship. Any potentially dangerous actions by anyone on board could be detected immediately.

Whether it's day or night, there are people specifically responsible for checking the surveillance footage.

Besides maintaining public order, their main purpose is to prevent anyone from communicating with the outside world and leaking secrets such as the Jiaolong ship's whereabouts and weaponry.

It would be best to take advantage of this time to root out these people with ill intentions one by one, so as to completely eliminate the hidden dangers.

Looking at the screen filled with densely packed surveillance footage, Amei felt her scalp tingle and was on the verge of developing trypophobia.

"Let me make you a cup of tea. Your eyes must be tired from staring at these monitors all day."

"Thank you." Bai Huai'an did not refuse.

Amei turned and left the monitoring room, and soon returned with a cup of chrysanthemum tea.

Chrysanthemum tea is said to be good for the eyes, so it's perfect to drink it now.

After handing the tea to Bai Huai'an, Amei walked out with a sigh of relief.

After Bai Huai'an comforted her, her guilt lessened considerably.

Just as Amei was about to go out to meet her colleagues, a large hand suddenly reached out and pulled her into a corner.

Before Amei could even speak, a cold dagger was pressed against her neck.

"You'd better keep quiet. My knife doesn't have eyes. Look at your delicate skin, it would be such a waste if I accidentally cut your neck."

Amei felt that there was a burly man standing behind her, but because her back was to him, she couldn't see his face at all.

She could only roughly tell that the man was much taller than her, and his voice was rough and hoarse. She felt like she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.

Because she was so nervous, Amei's mind went blank and she couldn't remember anything.

"Take me to the driver's seat right now, or I'll slit your throat. I don't think you want to lose your life at such a young age, do you?"

As she spoke, the cold dagger slashed her skin. Amei felt a sharp pain, followed by warm liquid flowing down her neck.

She was trembling with fear and said in a stammering voice, "I can give you any money you want, just don't hurt me."

"You stupid woman, can't you understand human language?"

"I need to get to the driver's seat now!"

The man was clearly annoyed, and he moved the knife closer to her neck, making the wound even deeper.

Amei had no doubt that if she hesitated even slightly, her opponent would not hesitate to cut her neck.

To prevent such a tragedy from happening, she quickly said, "Don't worry, the driver's seat is just around the corner. I'll take you there right away, as long as you don't hurt me." (End of Chapter)
