When Su Chen and his two companions arrived at the restaurant on the first floor, they saw Chen Fei leading five or six people busy in the kitchen.

The table was laden with top-quality ingredients such as A5 Wagyu beef, Bluefin tuna sashimi, and Almas caviar.

Seafood like lobsters and abalone are served in basins and can only be placed on the ground.

Just then, a "ding" sounded behind him, and Chen Yao stepped out of the elevator, carrying a huge ham in his arms. Su Chen could tell at a glance that this was the top-grade Iberian ham from Spain, which could be said to be the No.1 among hams!

"Does the Bai family have so many good things in their underground warehouse?" Su Chen asked curiously after helping Chen Yao move the Iberian ham to the table.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao's eyes lit up instantly, and he replied, "Old Su, you haven't gone to the fourth underground level to take a look. This Doomsday Fortress truly lives up to its name. I just did a simple estimate, and the food stored in the warehouse is enough to feed several hundred people for several years."

"Moreover, I also found a lot of top-quality dried goods down there, including hundreds of pounds of fish maw from the yellow croaker, which is almost extinct in China. I'll take some back with me when I go back to help my grandfather recover."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that he had underestimated the Bai family's warehouse.

"Forget about bringing it or not, when we go back we'll just move all the good stuff from the underground warehouse. Leaving it here is a waste!"

Su Chen plans to hand over this private island to IPS after this matter is over, and make use of it to build an overseas base in the open ocean for future needs.

Chen Yao smiled and nodded upon hearing this, but did not continue the conversation on this topic. He then changed the subject and said, "Today, we are also grateful to Captain Ghost's team members for allowing us to enjoy bluefin tuna sashimi."

"Hmm?" A hint of doubt flashed in Su Chen's eyes as he looked at the ghost beside him, wanting to know what other untold stories were behind this.

Ghost was also completely bewildered. How did this get involved? He had gone to Honolulu, Hawaii yesterday, and had no idea what was happening on that private island.

“BOSS~” At this moment, the skeleton stepped forward. After all, he had stayed on the island and naturally knew what the situation was.

"Here's what happened: This morning, a few members went out to sea to patrol the area around the islands. They unexpectedly encountered a school of tuna in the nearby waters and had a small catch, catching two yellowfin tuna, one large and one small. I took it upon myself to have my men handle the smaller one!"

"Oh~" Su Chen's lips curled up slightly, deliberately dragging out the sound. What patrol or not patrol? It's just a nice way of putting it. In reality, he's just bored on the island and takes his yacht to the surrounding waters to fish and relax.

To be honest, life on the island is quite boring, especially since it's mostly men. It's fine for a few days, but if it goes on for a long time and there's nothing to do, you can really get restless.

Su Chen glanced in the direction of the kitchen and immediately saw the remaining half of the bluefin tuna frozen in ice. It was as long as Su Chen himself and weighed at least two hundred pounds.

“Skull~ We can’t finish this bluefin tuna, so you can give the rest of the half to the brothers later. Also, bring out the A5 Wagyu beef, Almas caviar, and a few Iberian hams as well.”

"If I'm not mistaken, there should still be some good wine stored in the underground warehouse. Bring it all out so the brothers can eat and drink well."

"Don't worry about how expensive these things are. We got them cheap from the Bai family anyway. If we don't eat them, they might expire and go to waste!"

Upon hearing this, the skeleton's mouth gaped open. With his men's voracious appetites, these top-quality ingredients would be like Pigsy eating ginseng fruit – they wouldn't be able to taste anything.

But since the boss has already said all that, what reason does he have to refuse?

"Understood, I'll pass on the BOSS's message right away!" The skeleton grinned, turned and ran outside, shouting as he ran, "Brothers, the BOSS said there's an extra lunch today! Tuna, Wagyu beef, and caviar to go! Plus top-quality Spanish ham and fine wine!"

In this situation, the skeleton certainly cannot overstep its bounds and take over the BOSS's duties on behalf of its brothers. It must let the people below know that the BOSS also remembers their hardships.

Sure enough, as soon as the skeleton's voice faded, cheers erupted outside, with everyone shouting, "Long live the BOSS!"

After a moment of surprise, Su Chen smiled and shook his head. He now understood why Skeleton had become the regional head, while Ghost was just the captain of a special team. In terms of interpersonal skills, Skeleton was far superior to Ghost.

"Great! Your men are all shrewd!" Chen Yao muttered to himself as he walked over to Su Chen, listening to the cheers outside.

Hearing Chen Yao's praise, Su Chen tilted his head back and replied smugly, "Don't you even know who their BOSS is!"

Seeing Su Chen's arrogant demeanor, Chen Yao immediately rolled his eyes at him twice, ignored him, picked up the knife he had prepared, and began slicing Iberian ham.

At this moment, the skeleton returned, accompanied by several people, and walked straight into the elevator.

In less than five minutes, Skeleton and his group came out of the elevator carrying boxes of things. Some even carried half a Wagyu beef, which was emitting a chilling aura and looked like it had been taken from a freezer.

"Boss, I just found three whole cases of 1945 Romanée-Conti in the warehouse, so I brought one case up here!" As he spoke, the skeleton carefully placed the case of wine he was carrying on the table.

Su Chen was quite knowledgeable about Romanée-Conti, especially the 1945 vintage. He could tell at a glance that this was a complete case of unopened collectible from the estate, worth at least tens of millions!

As for what the others were holding, they all belonged to Lafite, including a case of 82 vintage, which was worth over a million.

Looking at these treasures, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh, "The Bai family really knows how to enjoy life! Alright, don't just stand here, aren't you hungry? Go and get busy!"

The second half of his sentence was naturally directed at the subordinates who had followed the skeleton in; he waved his hand, signaling them to go down and eat and drink as they pleased.

Chen Fei and the others in the kitchen quickly prepared all kinds of ingredients and brought them to the table on the second-floor terrace.

Looking at the table laden with ingredients, Su Chen turned to Chen Yao and the other three and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's get started!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Yao grabbed his chopsticks and headed straight for the evenly marbled A5 Wagyu beef. "The marbling on this Wagyu beef is just so beautiful."

As he spoke, Chen Yao placed the piece of Wagyu beef on the grill, and it immediately began to sizzle. At the same time, a faint aroma wafted out, making the already starving group swallow hard.

One by one, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Some were grilling meat, some were eating sashimi, and Ghost was even showing off a box of Almas caviar.

Keep in mind that a box of Almas caviar is only 32 ounces, or about 900 grams, and its value is as high as 168,000!
But in the ghost's hands, it was as ordinary as a bowl of rice.

If the traditional nobles of Europe saw this, they would definitely have to fight the ghost to the death.

After pouring a glass of the now-awakened Romanée-Conti for everyone, Su Chen raised his glass and said loudly, "Come, let's raise a glass together and thank the Bai family for their gift!" Apart from Chen Yao, Chen Fei, Skeleton, and Ghost all twitched their lips slightly upon hearing Su Chen's words. Thank the Bai family for their gift?

They've already sent everyone in the Bai family down to sell salted duck eggs, and now they're still trying to kill them and break their spirits. If the Bai family heard Su Chen's words, they'd probably be furious to death down there.

Despite their thoughts, their hands didn't falter at all. They raised their glasses and shouted in unison, "Thank you for the Bai family's gift!"

"Hahahaha." The group exchanged glances and downed their glasses of red wine in one gulp.

The 1945 Romanée-Conti is rich and full-bodied, with unique fruity and oaky aromas and a long finish. It is an ultimate enjoyment when paired with Wagyu beef grilled meat and bluefin tuna sashimi.

The melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu beef and the juicy, fresh sashimi are so delicious that you can't help but want to keep eating them.

Towards the end of the meal, Chen Yao even fought with Su Chen for the last piece of Wagyu beef steak. Unfortunately, he was outnumbered and was easily defeated by Chen Fei and the others. Watching Su Chen stuff the last piece of Wagyu beef into his mouth, he was completely stunned!
"Alright, it's not like we don't have any left. I'll let you eat your fill tonight!" Su Chen grinned and chuckled as he looked at Chen Yao's resentful gaze.

"That's right! Brother Yao, you have to try this ham, it's really delicious!" Chen Fei echoed, while quickly slicing off a piece of ham with a knife, stuffing it directly into his mouth, and shaking his head in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, the ghost and skeleton next to them somehow produced a bowl, filled it with more than half a bowl of caviar, and mixed it with bluefin tuna sashimi, eating it with great relish!

Seeing this, Chen Yao stopped worrying about the last piece of Wagyu beef and quickly started eating it.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, everyone was thoroughly satisfied and leaned back on the circular sofa, not wanting to move at all.

"Ah~" Chen Yao sighed softly, and said with some melancholy, "This meal was the best I've ever had. I'll never have it again. Old Su, what am I going to do!"

Su Chen could easily understand the hidden meaning in those words; it was obvious they wanted to take advantage of him. However, this was no problem for him at all.

"Don't worry, I opened a private banquet hall called 'Tianque' near Shichahai. It's almost finished with renovations. I'll take you to see it when I get back to China. It'll be our exclusive canteen from now on!"

"Anyway, all the good stuff in the Bai family's warehouse will be transported back, so are you worried about not being able to eat it? Besides, your brother has no shortage of money. When the time comes, whatever you want to eat, I will arrange for it to be airlifted directly from the place of origin."

Chen Yao was intrigued by the Heavenly Palace Su Chen mentioned and laughed, "You said it yourself, so don't blame me for going to your Heavenly Palace to freeload every day!"

"Then I'd welcome him with open arms!" Su Chen naturally understood that Chen Yao was just saying that; as Old Wang's student, how could he possibly have so much time to play around in his courtyard?

I'm afraid that once I return to China and rest for a few days, I'll be buried in my research lab, and who knows when we'll meet again.

After chatting on the terrace for half an hour, everyone recovered from being stuffed. Su Chen checked the time; it was almost three o'clock.

"Let's go to the Bai family's research lab to see what's going on with that plane wreckage, and we can also take a walk to digest our food!"

When the topic of airplanes came up, Chen Yao's previously casual expression instantly turned serious.

Su Chen and his group took the elevator to the third basement level. When they stepped out of the elevator, they were shocked by what they saw on the third basement level.

The entire underground space is quite large, covering an area equivalent to three football fields, and is about ten meters high. The scale of this project is enormous, not to mention that it has been renovated. The entire space is divided into three parts.

The first and largest part was a large open space, in the middle of which was exactly the plane wreckage that Ghost and the others had mentioned earlier.

Well, it can't really be called wreckage; it's all in pieces. I don't know if it was left like that or if it was dismantled by the Bai family's researchers.

Su Chen now understands what Ghost said earlier. It looks like a B-2 bomber, but it doesn't quite feel like one. Being able to tell that it's a Bald Eagle B-series bomber is already quite good!
The moment Chen Yao saw the plane wreckage, he jogged over and rummaged through the debris, hoping to find something useful.

When Su Chen walked over, Chen Yao was already standing quietly in the wreckage, his expression constantly shifting between light and dark.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the plane?" Su Chen frowned slightly, thinking that Chen Yao thought the wreckage in front of him was useless.

“There’s a problem, and a big problem!” Chen Yao nodded gravely. “I’ve discovered that the wreckage isn’t from a Bald Eagle B-2 bomber, I suspect.”

Seemingly unsure of his own judgment, Chen Yao paused before continuing, "I suspect this is the B-21 bomber that the Bald Eagles are researching, which is a scaled-down version of the B-2 bomber."

"A smaller version? Does that mean it's not as powerful as the B-2 bomber?" Su Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao shook his head slightly. Su Chen thought Chen Yao meant that the B21 bomber was more powerful than the B2 bomber, but his next words almost made Su Chen's back hurt!
"Um~ Actually, I don't know either! After all, the Bald Eagles were the first to develop this thing. If we hadn't seen this wreckage, we wouldn't have known they had already figured it out!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen noticed that Chen Yao's eyes were much brighter than before, obviously because he had thought of something good.

After a moment's thought, Su Chen understood Chen Yao's intentions. If the wreckage in front of him was indeed the latest B-21 bomber developed by the Bald Eagle, it would mean that the aircraft used the Bald Eagle's most advanced technology.

If they can master these technologies, does that mean they are about to crack the secrets of the B-21, and even trace its origins back to the B-2 bomber?
Chen Yao's breathing gradually became heavy, and his face flushed with excitement. He grabbed Su Chen's arm and said excitedly, "Old Su, hurry up and look for it, see if you can find the plane's engine and radar!"

If the engine of this aircraft could be found, China's engine technology would make leaps and bounds. As a researcher in this field, how could Chen Yao not be excited?

Su Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this, then gave a look to the skeletons standing beside him, signaling them to get moving and try to find something useful from the remains.

But what the skeleton said next stunned both Su Chen and Chen Yao!

"Um~ BOSS, there's no need to look for the engines anymore. They're all stored in the warehouse in the second part. Ghost and I went to check them out earlier and found that there's still one engine that's pretty intact!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao's breathing became rapid, and he grabbed the skeleton's arm excitedly, shouting, "Quick, take me to see!"

Su Chen and the others followed the skeleton to the warehouse located at the back of the third floor. The warehouse was built along the mountainside, and what was most surprising was that the entrance was a facial recognition system.

The skeleton walked to the panel of the door, and after a series of cool operations, the door slid slowly to both sides with a loud bang.

The lights inside the warehouse switched on automatically, instantly revealing the scene within to everyone. (End of Chapter)
