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

She said that, but she had other plans in mind.

The bridge is where the captain steers the ship. If this person were to do something to harm the captain, many people would be implicated.

To prevent this from happening, Amei decided to take him to the monitoring room.

Bai Huai'an is highly skilled; he will surely find a way to save her.

The two moved to the side one after the other, and the man kept warning her in her ear: "You better not try anything funny, or I'll make you suffer a terrible death. Don't blame me for not warning you then."

"Don't worry, I value my life. I'll take you to the driver's seat now."

Amei comforted him while trying to calm him down.

Fortunately, the man wasn't familiar with the ship's layout. Even when Amei led him toward the monitoring room, he didn't seem to notice and just followed her foolishly.

When they arrived at the driver's side door, Amei gently knocked on the door.

She dared not make a sound, for fear of angering the person behind her.

Bai Huai'an was checking the surveillance footage when he suddenly heard a knock on the door behind him.

"Who?"

He tilted his head and asked.

However, there was no response from outside.

He thought he had misheard, but after watching the surveillance footage for only two seconds, the knocking sounded again.

This time, he also heard Amei's voice.

"Brother Bai, open the door quickly, I've brought you chrysanthemum tea."

Upon hearing this, Bai Huai'an instinctively felt that something was amiss.

Looking at the freshly brewed chrysanthemum tea in his hand, he immediately realized that Amei might be in danger.

He gripped the knife tightly in his hand and walked step by step toward the door.

The moment the door opened, he saw Amei being strangled by a man in black, with a small, exquisite dagger pressed against her neck.

Without saying a word, Bai Huai'an raised his hand and slashed.

The man was caught off guard by his sudden appearance and instinctively used the knife in his hand to defend himself.

"boom!"

The two immediately started fighting, and for a moment it was difficult to determine a winner.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Amei broke free from her restraints and fled to a nearby corner to hide.

She wanted to go out and call for reinforcements, but the two of them blocked her way, making it impossible for her to get through.

Due to the special signal settings on the Jiaolong ship, their cell phones had no signal, so they couldn't call for help, which made her very anxious.

Amei was frantic. Her eyes fell on the chair next to her, and a plan suddenly came to her. Without thinking, she rushed over, grabbed the chair, and smashed it hard against the back of the man's head.

Unfortunately, the blow didn't hit the back of his head precisely, but instead struck above his shoulder.

Although the man's head wasn't directly injured, blood gushed from his shoulder. However, he didn't immediately faint; instead, he quickly turned around and swung his knife.

Amei instinctively reached out to block, only to feel a sharp pain in her arm and blood gushing out. The knife had almost struck her face.

At this moment, the other Imperial Guards, hearing the sounds of fighting, rushed over immediately. Working together with Bai Huai'an, they quickly subdued the man.

Bai Huai'an hurriedly checked Amei's wounds and instructed the people next to him, "Make sure to keep him alive. Don't let him die."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he sensed that the man was making a move. He immediately stepped forward, dislocated the man's jaw, and sure enough, found a black pill hidden in his back molar.

It seems these are specially trained assassins, designed specifically for dangerous missions. In the event of an accident, they will not hesitate to end their own lives, giving the enemy no chance to extract any information from them.

Bai Huai'an removed the man's mask and discovered that he was a foreigner.

This was no small matter, and he immediately reported the situation to General Mengyin through special communication equipment.

This special communication equipment allows them to easily contact their home country even when others are unable to do so.

When Mengyin received the call, he was quite surprised, because this special communication device was only used under special circumstances.

"What happened?" Meng Yin asked, noticing that the other end of the phone seemed to be in chaos, with signs of a fight.

Bai Huai'an reported in detail: "We just captured a spy who attempted to take control of the Jiaolong ship. His purpose is still unclear, but we left him alive. We estimate we'll have to interrogate him to find out his true intentions. I called to ask for instructions from the leadership."

This matter is of great importance and is beyond the control of a mere Imperial Guard.

Yang Xia happened to be nearby and overheard their conversation clearly.

He waved to Meng Yin, took the phone from Meng Yin, and spoke directly with Bai Huai'an.

Bai Huai'an lowered his head nervously and reported truthfully: "Besides this suspect, we also arrested a man named Tian Ye and his companion. They attempted to slip through the net and leave the Jiaolong ship, and their phones contained a large number of photos of the Jiaolong ship."

Based on this alone, their intentions are already obvious.

Yang Xia was not too surprised after hearing the report.

Those countries have been itching to make a move for a long time, and the fact that they've waited until now shows their patience.

The sudden loss of internet access threw them into a panic, and their desperate desire to get the message out led them to do something foolish.

All of this was within Yang Xia's expectations.

When he first sent the Jiaolong ship out to sea, he had anticipated that things would turn out this way.

"Lock up all the suspicious people, but don't let them die yet. Even if you can't get any useful information out of them, don't kill them," Yang Xia ordered.

He spared these people's lives, naturally he had his reasons.

Those who are able to come out and carry out these missions should all be key figures in their respective countries.

I wonder if those countries felt a little panicked when they learned that their people had fallen into their hands.

This game is getting more and more interesting!
Yang Xia had plenty of free time these past two days. Apart from directing his subordinates to set up the weather controller, he had nothing else to do.

Therefore, he doesn't mind taking some time to prepare a surprise gift for those troublesome countries.

“We can use the media to spread the news of their capture. I believe their countries will do everything they can to rescue them once they find out. You just need to keep a close watch on them. If necessary, I will send people to support you.” Yang Xia took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

The move he's about to make is a big one, and it will take time to plan carefully.

Fortunately, he has the time right now.

Bai Huai'an was rather simple-minded, asking whatever came to mind: "But if we do that, won't it directly anger those countries?"

There's a saying that goes, "Even a cornered dog will jump over the wall."

These countries' key figures are in their hands; they certainly won't let this go easily. They'll definitely try every means to rescue them. Although the Jiaolong ship is incredibly powerful, if it's attacked from all sides, even with its strong defenses, it probably won't last until the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Don't worry, they don't have the strength, the guts, or the will to unite." Yang Xia had long seen through those countries.

Everyone wanted to monopolize the rich prize of the Great Zhou Dynasty and dominate the country; they wouldn't allow anyone else to share in the spoils.

After listening to Yang Xia's words, Bai Huai'an suddenly understood why Yang Xia was able to become the ruler of a country.

It is precisely because of this wisdom that one can accurately discern the true thoughts of those people.

"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. I will immediately spread the news of their capture through the media. Once they find out, they will definitely do everything they can to rescue them."

At that point, the initiative will be in their hands, and the enemy will be put on the defensive.

They just need to be on high alert and guard against those people's sneak attacks, and there shouldn't be any major problems.

Before hanging up the phone, Yang Xia instructed Bai Huai'an, "You can do that, but there must be limits to everything you do. You must be careful to maintain a proper balance. The news can be spread, but you must be fully prepared to avoid being put in a passive position later."

Yang Xia was well aware of the strength of other countries. But even ants could potentially shake an elephant.

Therefore, one must consider everything carefully before doing anything and not act blindly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After receiving his orders, Bai Huai'an arrived at the interrogation room. Before he could even ask any questions, he heard the detainees let out heart-wrenching roars.

"Release us immediately, or India will not let you off the hook!"

Diwa was bound like a dumpling and was currently tied to a chair, unable to move.

The only part of his body that could move was his neck.

Even in this predicament, he still couldn't see his own situation clearly, and roared with his mouth wide open, "We haven't done anything, we haven't committed any unforgivable crimes, what right do you have to lock us up?"

Bai Huai'an pulled up a chair and sat down opposite them, saying unhurriedly, "The evidence is conclusive. You still want to argue? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"

Diva was terrified. If the other party killed him now, it would be done without anyone knowing.

If they then frame him for a crime, he would die a truly unjust death.

In this godforsaken place, their communication devices had no signal, so even if they edited a message, they couldn't send it.

If they were all wiped out here, even the people at headquarters probably wouldn't know how they died.

"Don't do anything rash. Let's talk this out. I think there must be some misunderstanding between us!"

Diva quickly replied in kind words.

Bai Huai'an took out the phone he had previously collected, placed it in front of him, and asked without any politeness, "Then explain to me why you have these photos on your phone?"

"I just thought it was fun and took a few pictures casually. It didn't cause you any loss, so why are you making such a fuss about it?"

Diva is stubborn and refuses to admit his true intentions, even when the facts are right in front of him.

Bai Huai'an wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time. As long as Diwa didn't admit it, he wouldn't release him.

"I've already spread the word that you've been arrested. I don't know if anyone will come to rescue you!"

Bai Huai'an spoke casually, but Diwa listened with his heart pounding.

If someone comes to rescue him, it would be an admission of guilt, rendering all explanations futile.

"Let me tell you, don't even think about playing tricks on me. Keep your little schemes to yourself. I'll give you a day to think it over. If you're not willing to reveal who's behind this, then I'll have to make an example of you."

Bai Huai'an left without looking back after saying those words.

Given Diva's personality, he won't hold back for long. As soon as Diva agrees, a hole will appear in their web.

Once an opening is created, he can seize the opportunity to tear it open completely.

By following the clues, we can find the mastermind behind it all.

Diva watched his departing figure and shouted helplessly, "Come back here! You can't treat me like this! You have no right to treat me like this!"

His voice faded into the distance, and Bai Huai'an, as planned, spread the news of his arrest.

Some people were watching the spectacle, while others were anxious.

It's none of your business, just hang it up high.

Su Liang sat in the room eating pastries. Each of them had their own private space, and rest and services were provided. All these costs were included in the ticket price, which was quite affordable.

Sitting opposite him were Hunter and Tong Fang; the group of people had come together by chance.

Upon hearing what had happened, Su Liang shook his head repeatedly: "It seems that Diva really went to great lengths. In order to get the message out, he actually tried to hijack the Jiaolong ship."

It has to be said that this idea is incredibly naive.

He hadn't considered the consequences of failure at all, which was something he couldn't afford to bear.

Now that Diwa has been arrested, his accomplices are probably in a panic and will likely launch a counterattack soon.

Tong Fang has his own opinion: "I think he wanted to kidnap the captain and control the entire Jiaolong ship, and it wasn't just about passing on messages."

Su Liang looked puzzled and asked, "What exactly did you mean by what you just said?"

Tong Fang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a calm smile: "I wasn't there at the time, but I can guess the general idea. He was single-mindedly focused on getting into the cockpit, and his purpose was actually very simple: to coerce the captain into sailing the Jiaolong ship to the place he specified."

This person's motives are far from simple; his ambitions are much greater than they imagined.

It was precisely because of this ambition that he ended up in this state.

"He actually wants that Jiaolong warship!"

This is his truest purpose.

This idea is far superior to that of the person who took the photo before; the two are on completely different levels.

One is like a bronze-level player, while the other is like a master.

"His ambition has grown too big. He actually coveted the Great Zhou Dynasty's Jiaolong warship and wanted to take it for himself. It seems we underestimated him before."

Su Liang was utterly shocked.

This completely overturned his understanding.

"Although his move was extremely risky, if it succeeded, he could obtain a Jiaolong ship without lifting a finger, and even have his countrymen analyze the weapons on it to develop even more powerful equipment. His mind went through seventeen or eighteen twists and turns in just a few seconds."

Although Tong Fang was not involved, he saw things very clearly.

However, none of them wanted to get involved in this mess, so they only discussed it privately. (End of Chapter)
