After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

Captain Wang stared into Ye Tian's unusually bright eyes, then glanced at the increasingly close pursuer signals on the screen. He gritted his teeth, his facial muscles trembling.

"Alright, let's walk this line between life and death today!"

The Submariner emitted an almost roaring engine roar.

Turning the boat around, it resolutely charged towards that dangerous area where white waves surged under the sunlight, containing countless sharp reefs.

The speedboats pursuing them hesitated noticeably at the entrance to that dangerous area, and their speed dropped sharply.

The splashes and surges there looked fraught with the threat of death.

But after a brief pause, it suddenly accelerated and followed.

Clearly, the order to complete the mission outweighed the fear of danger.

Two boats were engaged in a desperate chase, one after the other, on the narrow, deadly race track.

The waves were cleaved by the bow of the ship, then regrouped at the stern, leaving a brief white trail.

Standing at the bow, Ye Tian danced gracefully on the edge of death, relying on the precise guidance of his X-ray vision and Captain Wang's superb ship handling skills.

"Hard to left, immediately straighten out! Fifteen meters ahead, a bulge in the center!"

"Stay steady, maintain course, the next bend is in 30 meters, slow down in advance!"

"Starboard, watch out for starboard, glide past, all right!"

Captain Wang's eyes were wide open like copper bells, and he was completely unaware that sweat was dripping into the corners of his eyes. His hands moved almost like afterimages between the rudder and the throttle.

After a perilous right turn, the view suddenly opened up, and the murky water deepened in color, meaning they were about to break through this densest area of ​​deadly reefs.

But at that moment...

"Bang!"

A deafening explosion came from behind their stern.

"Ah..." Several shrill, distorted screams of pain rang out instantly.

The speedboat that was chasing them was clearly not so lucky.

Although it is smaller and more maneuverable, it is obviously not so easy to get through this deadly reef.

Without Ye Tian's X-ray vision, even the best captain's skills are useless.

Everyone on board the Submariner saw the speedboat that was chasing them explode, and in the instant that it exploded, the people on board were instantly engulfed by towering flames.

The desperate screams soon fell silent, followed by a deathly stillness.

Captain Wang steered the ship out of the Death Reef area and slowly brought it to a stop in a safe zone.

His hands were still gripping the steering wheel tightly, trembling slightly.

"Mr. Ye, thanks to you, we're out of the Death Reef area! We're safe!"

He looked at the young man at the bow of the boat, who was soaking wet but still standing straight, and his eyes were filled with gratitude beyond words.

"Honey, I knew it! You're the most amazing man in the world!"

Wang Yuyan suddenly threw herself into Ye Tian's arms and showered the wet Ye Tian with kisses.

"No, I'm covered in seawater, I'm dirty..."

Ye Tian tried to stop her, but Wang Yuyan's slender waist made her completely oblivious.

She didn't care at all about the fishy smell of the sea on Ye Tian's body. She hugged Ye Tian tightly and kissed his soft lips without hesitation.

"My husband is always the most charming!"

Wang Yuyan reluctantly released Ye Tian only when she was almost out of breath.

But she still looked at him with affection, as if showing off to everyone: This is my all-powerful man!

However, this good fortune didn't last long!

"It's bad, Mr. Ye, Miss, another speedboat is rapidly approaching from the southeast."

Another large research vessel also surrounded them from another direction.

They expect to complete the encirclement in five minutes.

The voice of the crew member responsible for monitoring the enemy ship's movements came through the loudspeaker, trembling with barely suppressed emotion.

"Mr. Ye, this open sea area is relatively safe, but there are no natural defenses left. What should we do?"

Captain Wang asked anxiously.

The sea breeze was still blowing, but it seemed to carry a chill.

Ye Tian slowly turned around, his back to the maze of reefs that he had temporarily left behind.

A slight smile curved his lips; his voice, though not loud, was as clear as thunder, reaching the hearts of everyone around him who had pricked up their ears.

"Captain Wang, maintain course and continue forward."

"I want to see who these people are, daring to keep chasing us like this."

Captain Wang's fingers trembled slightly on the helm. He took a deep breath of the salty sea air and replied in a deep voice, "Understood, Mr. Ye. Maintain course and continue forward."

Their boats were no match for speedboats and another large research vessel in open waters.

Therefore, all hope can be placed on Ye Tian.

Dusk began to gather on the horizon, turning the horizon into a murky orange-red.

Just a few nautical miles from where the Submariner had sailed, the large research vessel that had been patrolling the perimeter finally revealed its full form.

It is like a moving white mountain, steadily moored in the deep water.

Several high-intensity searchlights illuminated the side of the ship, their stark white beams like giant fingers, brutally piercing the dim sea surface and pinning the Submariner firmly within their beams.

Immediately afterwards, another high-speed speedboat, like a shark smelling blood, silently accelerated and approached, blocking the only maneuvering space of the Submariner.

The deep roar of the engine sounded particularly jarring on the silent sea.

On the speedboat, figures moved about.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so people dressed in uniform black combat suits, wearing masks and carrying guns appeared like ghosts on the ship's side.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, displaying the cold-blooded efficiency honed through years of training.

Although the gun was not directly pointed at the Submariner, it was already chambered, and the invisible pressure pressed down heavily through the twilight and sea breeze.

In an instant, a loudspeaker was set up on the bow of the speedboat.

"Attention, vessel ahead! Immediately shut down your main engine. All personnel, assemble on deck for inspection."

Repeat: Stop the ship immediately and undergo inspection.

Any act of resistance will be considered a threat, and the consequences will be borne by the individual!

The voice was cold and devoid of any emotion. Amplified by the loudspeaker, it echoed across the sea, striking the hearts of every crew member on the Submariner.

Captain Wang's back was soaked with sweat, and his face was as pale as paper under the searchlight.

He hurriedly asked Ye Tian:

"Mr. Ye, what should we do?"

Before Ye Tian could speak, Sun Yongqiang couldn't hold back any longer.

"Do they really think I'm a pushover? If they piss me off, I'll send them all to their deaths with a bomb. At worst, we'll all perish together."

This bigwig in the tomb raiding industry, at this moment, had abandoned his usual amiable smile and was exuding the ruthlessness of a desperate criminal.

Ye Tian raised his hand and made a clear gesture.

"It's not time to fight yet. Let's stop the ship and I'll go and meet them."

Keep the main unit in standby mode, do not completely shut it down, so that we can evacuate at any time.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a calm strength that steadied the crew members around him who were on the verge of collapse.

Ye Tian took a deep breath, strode to the bow of the ship, and stood tall, facing the blinding beams of searchlight and the dark muzzles of guns.

He still carried the chill of the deep sea, but his back was ramrod straight, his gaze piercing through the halo of light, staring directly at the dark figures on the speedboat ahead.

"We are conducting legal exploration of marine geological heritage sites and have reported this to the relevant authorities!"

"Who are you? Which faction are you from? Why are you intercepting our research vessel with armed forces without provocation?"

Ye Tian's voice was deep and resonant, and he deliberately raised his volume so that every word could be clearly heard by the other person.

He deliberately said they were conducting legitimate exploration because the ship did indeed bear the name of a royal research vessel.

Intercepting their legitimate marine heritage research vessel is no joke.

Moreover, the Wang family is renowned in the antique, jewelry and related high-end industries, and is also involved in deep-sea resources and exploration technology.

Although it is ostensibly a business group, those who have access to this circle know the truth.

The Wang family is a very powerful and complex group with intricate relationships, making them not easily provoked by ordinary forces.

He wanted to see the other person's reaction.
