but she still said insincerely."Of course, I'm thinking of my beloved wife."Zhao Fenglin rarely uttered sweet words, but he did so now, taking the suitcase from his wife's hand and handing it to Xiao..."Solo, Jian, and Zhou San will ambush us on our way back. We'll also have to contend with Mr. Felix's opponent pursuing us. Before entering the waters of Hua Guo, the danger level is too high. It's better to stay here."
Gong Fan did not refute Lian Yi's words. He turned his head to look at the lion, who finally nodded. Only then did he speak:
"I'm urging them to speed things up now. You guys go start arranging manpower first."
The lion nodded, then contacted the Horse Racing Association:
"The two of you, stay put and avoid the cruise ships' meeting point. Be ready to provide long-range support. We'll remain on Philip's ship and regroup once things here are settled. Remember to keep us updated on their situation."
"Understood. Stay safe, and if you can't hold on, pretend to fall overboard. We'll come rescue you."
After the road finished speaking, both parties temporarily cut off contact.
In the ship's wheelhouse, Felix watched the lions going back and forth and the ripples, puzzled, and asked:
"Lion, is something wrong Why haven't you left yet"
"Philip, I've informed the boss about the situation here. She's decided to stay with us and help you out. The boss also promised those three buyers that she would ensure their safe retrieval of their goods. So, until they are safely out of reach of their attackers, the boss will remain here to buy them some time."
The lion laughed and said.
"I didn't realize your boss was not only brave and resourceful but also very honest."
Felix said with a smile.
"Of course, this is the first transaction between the two parties. For the sake of future smooth transactions, this time is very important and absolutely cannot go wrong."
The lion immediately said.
"Alright! One more helper means more strength. I'll have Earl take you to the bow, and you keep watch there with your people."
"No problem! Philip, I hope you can provide us with some heavy weaponry. Our boss didn't bring much, we can handle small skirmishes, but against these seasoned sea pirates our firepower is lacking."
The lion said appropriately.
Felix pondered for a moment before speaking two words to Erle, then letting the lions leave first.
On the other side, Gong Fan said to Dan Ming, Jian Zizhi, and Zhou Hongyu:
"Please leave the open sea with your cargo as soon as possible. A cruise ship is heading this way, its purpose unknown. For your safety, please increase speed and prepare to return home."
"Where are the clouds"
Dan Ming immediately asked.
"Sister Yun said this was the first transaction and it was important to ensure everything went smoothly. She would stay behind and cooperate with these people, holding back this ship of unknown origin."
"That sounds good on paper, but isn't this just a way to distract us"
The subordinate beside Daning immediately said disapprovingly.
You have no right to choose, because the ship's owner trusts Sister Yun but not you. Leave as soon as possible, the sooner the safer. Besides, you all have people waiting for you ashore. Do you need me to navigate for you
Gong Fan coldly said, and then glanced at Danjia's outspoken subordinate. Then he turned and left.
With a sharp slap, Dan Ming struck his subordinate across the face and snarled:
"You meddling fool! Who asked you to speak!"
His subordinate was slapped to the ground, his cheek visibly red, it was clear that Shan Ming had used force.
"Alright, Xiao Dan, this isn't the time to be punishing your subordinates. Let's get out of here quickly! Don't let things escalate and we end up losing both our goods and our lives."
Jian Zizhi, after finishing his statement, sped up the transportation of goods with his men.
Zhou Hongyu doesn't talk much, but he knows Yunyi has his own backup plan and that they each have their own helpers arranged. He almost has a grasp of their whereabouts. Whether this current incident happened by chance or was deliberately arranged by Yunyi, they must leave as soon as possible.
This is the sea, if it were really blocked off, they would truly be trapped with no way out.
The three parties' tacit understanding sped things up. After the goods were loaded, to avoid being cheated, the three parties chose three different directions to leave.
Lián Yī held up her telescope and watched the three departing ships. Turning to Gōng Fán beside her, she said:
"Is the labeling clear Is it easy to track"
"It's clear, it's easy to track their movements using satellites."
"Alert the others to stand by, but do not disclose their exact locations."
The ripples continued.
"Are you worried someone might report you"
"For Single, Simple, and Wednesday's Family to reach this point, their network of relationships must be incredibly intricate. To take them all down at once, timing is crucial."
Ripple put down the telescope and said directly.
"I'm afraid that someone will help them get away with it when the time comes."
Gong Fan of course understands Lian Yi's concerns.
"It's okay, as long as we can cut off their connection with home, the rest is up to us."
Actually, ripples wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of all the spokespersons of these three families. The only reason she didn't say it out loud was because of the lions around her.
At this time, the lion carried a box and walked over, handing it to Ripple:
"Your marksmanship is top-notch, so you're in charge of sniping. Remember to take cover."
"No problem! Have you arranged everything for them"
With a ripple passing over the gun case, he asked directly.
"Relax, everything is taken care of. Felix provided some medium-range fire support, so we should be fine."
Once Felix had everything in order, the cargo ship also appeared in everyone's sight.
When Felix saw the golden insignia on the hull of the ship through his telescope, a dark glint flashed in his blue eyes. The lion beside him also saw the mark and whispered,
"Philip, it's the ship 'Brilliant Gate,' they should have been following you all the way."
"Humph, they messed up several of my deals. I only left the F country with that troublesome cargo to avoid their edge for now."
"What do you want to do I'll do whatever you say!"
"This is open sea, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Felix said harshly.
"Okay, I'll let the boss know."
The lion immediately said.
“I won’t say much about thanks. Once this is over, I'll escort you back to the Hua Guo Sea.”
Felix is very good at dealing with people and immediately gave his word.
"Thank you on behalf of my boss!"
The lion left the command center and returned to Ripple's side, then entered a battle state.
Once the "Glorious Gate" came within range, Felix gave the order to attack without hesitation. A shell exploded on their ship, marking the beginning of the battle.
The three families who had left early saw the two warships battling and realized that this wasn't what Yun Yi had planned. They immediately urged their men to speed up and return to the Hua Guo waters, for only there would they be safe.
At this time, the ripples hiding at the bow of the boat, with a sniper rifle in hand, aimed at the people loading ammunition on the deck of the opposite side and fired the first shot. The bullet hit the deck but did not hit the target.
The people over there immediately rolled to the ground and hid behind cover, clearly realizing that there was a sniper.Wén Lù follow this time, asking them to stay at the inn and wait for news. Naturally, the two were unwilling, but Liàn'yī's attitude was very firm this time, leaving them with no choice but to comply....
