You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The ship is sinking.

This massive ship, a symbol of extravagance and lawlessness, now resembles a dying beast with its spine broken, uttering its final lament in the raging Black Sea.

The angle of inclination has exceeded sixty degrees, and the deck and the sea surface almost form a cliff.

Lin Chen trampled the shadow under his foot, crushing his last shred of dignity and ability to resist.

But this does not change the fact that they are in dire straits.

The gale-force winds whipped up huge waves that slammed into the ship's hull time and time again, each impact causing the ship's structure to groan as if it were on the verge of collapse.

Su Qingge leaned against the deformed door frame, her pretty face deathly pale.

Looking out the window at the hellish scene, feeling the accelerating sinking beneath her feet, her heart sank little by little into the bottomless abyss along with the ship.

We've done everything we could.

We got the blueprints, and we took care of the enemy.

But then?

Faced with this all-consuming storm and raging sea, human power ultimately seems so insignificant.

She looked at Lin Chen.

The man remained standing tall and straight.

There was no despair or fear on his face.

That composure seemed to have a magical power, calming Su Qingge's heart, which was about to be torn apart by fear, a little.

"Lin Chen..."

She was about to say something.

suddenly!

Right at the end of that pitch-black horizon, torn apart by lightning and torrential rain.

Hundreds of extremely dazzling, soul-piercing beams of pure white searchlight instantly tore through the thick night!

That light was more domineering and dazzling than the lightning in the sky!

They illuminated this raging inferno as brightly as day!

Followed by.

"Boom! B ...

A terrifying roar of heavy engines swept through the air like a tidal wave!

The sound seemed to come not from the sea, but from the depths of the earth, carrying an iron will to crush everything, even causing the sinking giant ship beneath their feet to tremble!

Su Qingge's beautiful eyes widened suddenly as she stared intently at the source of the light.

Amidst the towering, mountain-like waves illuminated by searchlights.

A dozen enormous, breathtaking steel behemoths are closing in on the eye of the storm with unstoppable force!

Leading the charge were several of the most terrifyingly large ocean-going heavy icebreakers!

Their specially reinforced, menacing bows easily smashed and crushed through giant waves tens of meters high!

On the flank of the icebreaker were several sleek, heavily armed security vessels, exuding an air of menace.

At every key position on the ship, heavy weapons, gleaming eerily in the darkness, were mounted, their dark muzzles silently proclaiming their destructive power.

On the mast of each ship hung a flag that fluttered in the gale.

On a black background, with gold thread, is embroidered a powerful and unparalleled cursive script character: "Leaf"!

The Yip Group!

Su Qingge's breath stopped completely the moment she saw that word.

Her mind went blank.

Is this...is this a movie shoot?

Do not!

Even the most top-tier Hollywood special effects blockbusters couldn't capture the overwhelming sense of oppression and destruction before our eyes!

This is not a rescue at all!

This is a well-equipped and highly trained private fleet!

Someone used an astronomical sum of money—enough to buy a small country—to forcibly raise an army that belonged only to her in this lawless high seas!

They used the most tyrannical and unreasonable methods to blockade the entire sea area!

Just as Su Qingge was completely shocked.

"Buzz—Buzz—"

The sound of the rotors of several heavy attack helicopters tearing through the air came from overhead.

They hovered above the Poseidon II, their massive fuselage casting a despairing shadow under the beams of searchlights, while the missile launchers mounted beneath its belly exuded a chilling aura of death.

The sense of oppression is off the charts!

On the deck of the largest and most central ship in that fleet.

A graceful figure stood proudly against the fierce wind that could blow a person away.

She wore a minimalist black trench coat, cinched at the waist with a belt that accentuated her breathtakingly slender waist.

The hem of the trench coat fluttered in the wind, revealing a pair of straight, slender legs encased in black trousers.

The sea breeze tousled her long, flowing black hair, but it couldn't shake her sculpted figure.

It was a face so beautiful it took your breath away.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were so exquisite that they seemed to be God's most perfect masterpiece, without the slightest flaw.

Her face was without any makeup, yet she was more captivating than anyone with heavy makeup.

Those phoenix eyes were long and sharp, and as they moved, they carried an innate aloofness and arrogance that looked down upon all living beings.

Ye Qingcheng!

She held a high-pitched megaphone in her hand and slowly raised it to her lips.

next second.

A clear, domineering voice, yet carrying a barely perceptible hint of anxiety and killing intent, resounded throughout the entire sea area through the loudspeaker!

"Listen up, everyone on Poseidon II!"

"There are my people on the ship, Ye Qingcheng's people."

"None of you dare to lay a finger on him."

Her voice paused, and each word seemed to carry immense force, striking everyone's heart hard.

"My Ye family will spare no expense to drive you, people and ships, inch by inch, into this sea to be fed to the sharks!"

"I mean what I say!"

The international mercenaries who were still celebrating their survival on the ship lost all color in their faces the moment they heard this announcement.

When the words "Ye family" reached their ears, the ferocity of the desperados on their faces froze completely, turning into a deathly despair.

They looked at the terrifying formation outside, comparable to that of a regular Marine Corps, and at the armed helicopters circling overhead.

Then think about the phrase "giving it their all".

The Yip Group...

In the financial world, this name represents the pinnacle!

If it says it wants you dead, can you still live?

Fear, like the most virulent virus, instantly destroyed all their psychological defenses.

"thump!"

"Thump! Thump!"

One after another, those ferocious desperados, who had just been so menacing, seemed to have conspired to discard their weapons.

Then, with a practiced yet heartbreaking gesture, he put his hands behind his head and knelt down on the ground.

These men, who were as strong as bears, were now trembling like quails in the cold wind, having completely lost all will to resist.

Money power.

This is the most unreasonable ultimate judgment in the world.

Su Qingge stood blankly beside Lin Chen, watching Ye Qingcheng's earth-shattering entrance and her extremely domineering declaration of protecting her husband.

Before the shock in her beautiful eyes had faded, an extremely strong and unfamiliar emotion surged wildly from the bottom of her heart.

It's a situation where someone's treasure is coveted by others, or even claimed by a stronger entity...

A sense of crisis!

Amid the storm, a heavy helicopter braved the gale-force winds and used a winch to bring Lin Chen, Su Qingge, and the half-dead figure aboard the main ship.

Almost without a moment's delay, they were directly put onto a special plane that was already waiting at the rear of the fleet.

Several hours later.

A heavy special plane belonging to the Ye Group, escorted by several fighter jets, ignored all international routes and obtained a green channel directly to the heart of Xia Kingdom at the fastest speed.

The plane eventually landed on the core, top-secret helipad beneath the Jiangcheng Military Industry Research Institute.

at the same time.

Hundreds of meters underground at the military industrial institute, in a top-secret conference room of the highest level.

The atmosphere was extremely heavy and oppressive.

Led by General Su Dingguo, a group of bigwigs, including Director Wang of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and the chief scientist of the Military Industry Institute, all sat upright, their faces filled with anxiety and unease.

They have been here, waiting for more than ten hours without sleep.

"Squeak—"

The heavy alloy doors of the conference room were pushed open from the outside.

Lin Chen, still wearing the dry clothes he had temporarily changed into on the ship, strode in.

He ignored the mixed expressions of shock, doubt, and anticipation in the eyes of all the bigwigs in the conference room.

He walked straight to the head seat at the conference table.

Then, under the deathly silence of the entire room, he casually and heavily slammed the jet-black titanium alloy briefcase onto the conference table.

"Bang!"

The dull thud made all the big shots' hearts skip a beat.

The lid of the box popped open with a click.

Under the intense illumination of the conference room's highest-intensity operating lights, the blue folder, sealed in a specially made waterproof bag, was perfectly displayed before everyone.

The entire venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
