It seems that it's definitely Gui Tou Chang. He and his nephew Aha are in contact every day. Last night, the phone and radio were both out of service. He probably realized something and brought his men to kill them.

If Chen Ke were to remain polite under these circumstances, he would be considered a blockhead. He decisively said, "Quickly, get everyone onto the warship!"

The group's footsteps pounded and clanged, and the restaurant was right next to the stairs. As the group of soldiers with bound legs came down one by one, Secretary An was so anxious that she wished she could tie their feet up. She reached out and said, "Shh, shh!"

Chen Ke was still looking for bodyguards, but Yue Zhongqi, with his keen eye, immediately recognized Secretary An as someone in charge and quickly said, "Hurry up and find your boss to send us a few speedboats. We have something to do and need to leave immediately."

Secretary An didn't care about their urgent matter. She glanced at her watch, smiled, and said, "Please rest first. I'll have the boss see you in half an hour."

Gui Touchang is here. It's extremely urgent. Yue Zhongqi and the others need to get back to Lvsun Island within ten minutes. If they wait here for half an hour, the opportunity will be lost.

He naturally replied, "No, I need to see your boss right now."

Secretary An glanced at her watch and waved her hand: "Not now, not even murder or arson."

Yue Zhongqi frowned: "Why not?"

At this point, Chen Ke had spoken with Sam and returned, because Sam also expressed the same opinion: to ask the boss.

Yue Zhongqi's mind raced, and he shouted, "Mrs. Nie! Mrs. Nie!"

Although they weren't very close relatives, he instinctively felt like she was from his mother's side of the family, and he was anxious, so he called out to Chen Rou as well.

"Okay," she said, before the door behind her was flung open with a bang: "What are you all arguing about?"

It was Boss Nie, his hair was like a bird's nest, and his face was pale. Yes, he actually had a beard, and a full beard at that. But because his appearance was usually so perfect when they met, Chen Ke and Yue Zhongqi had never seen him so slovenly and angry. They were both a little stunned.

Just then, Wade arrived: "Boss."

Nie Zhao left the door half-closed without looking outside. He didn't see his father-in-law there. He was usually quite grumpy when he woke up, and the noise at sea, combined with the cold, made him even more upset. So he asked, "What are you doing?"

He added, "From now until Arou wakes up, no one is allowed to make a sound."

Wade, of course, responded without hesitation. He turned around, held up one finger, and said, "From now on, everyone has to be quiet."

Chen Ke and Yue Zhongqi exchanged a glance, anxious but wisely kept quiet.

Because Nie Zhao had always been a refined and elegant man with a low-key demeanor, it was only in that brief glance that they suddenly realized he was currently the richest man in all of Hong Kong, and even in all of Asia. He had a temper, and a very bad one at that, which is why his subordinates were trembling with fear when facing him.

Nie Zhao is a person standing at the top of a pyramid built of money.

At least for now, when they ask others for favors, they still have to be more restrained and can't be too presumptuous.

Chen Ke gave Yue Zhongqi a deep look and gave him a thumbs up: Let's go, let's hurry up and go boating.

Yue Zhongqi also deeply regretted his casualness earlier, but he wanted to apologize. Boss Nie had gone to sleep, and if he didn't apologize, would Boss Nie have a bad impression of all of them because of his recklessness?

Thinking back on his recklessness, he wished he could slap himself twice.

But just as they were tiptoeing upstairs, the cabin door opened again: "Captain Chen and the others are here?"

Secretary An's expression changed instantly: "Captain Chen, Captain Chen, our boss is looking for you."

Chen Ke had already gone up the stairs when he tiptoed down as quietly as possible. Seeing Nie Zhao in the corridor, he reached out and said, "I'm so sorry, we were walking a little too heavily just now."

Nie Zhao shook hands with him and said, "I'm fine, it's just that Arou only slept for two hours..."

Just then, the cabin door opened again, and Chen Rou came out, smiling: "Captain Chen, Captain Yue, Bao Dao, A Yong, come in."

Chen Ke was the first to enter, but upon seeing a large, thick, and dense carpet that looked expensive, he raised his hand to stop everyone and said, "We can just stand here."

Rich people can lay carpets wherever they want, but Chen Ke and his colleagues' socks were patched up with holes. They had been running around all day, their feet smelled, and they were too embarrassed to take off their shoes.

Wang Baodao nudged Yue Zhongqi lightly and pouted, "See? It's all because of Miss Chen."

Indeed, when Boss Nie was woken up and came out, his face was so fierce it looked like he wanted to eat someone alive. Yue Zhongqi even thought he had ruined the cooperation between the two places and was going to become a sinner in history.

But then Chen Rou woke up, and his expression changed completely. He actually poured water for them and offered Yue Zhongqi a drink: "Here, have some."

If it weren't for Miss Chen Rou, would the richest man have offered them drinks?

Yue Zhongqi bent down, accepted the gift with both hands, and smiled like a bottle of black toothpaste: "Thank you, Boss Nie!"

The matter was urgent, so Chen Ke frankly said that he needed to borrow a speedboat, and immediately, because it was very likely that Gui Tou Chang was leading men and was on his way to Lvsun Island. They could fight, but they needed to regroup their forces and gather their weapons immediately.

After he finished speaking, Chen Rou immediately replied, "Let's set off right away."

However, Chen Ke didn't move, nor did Yue Zhongqi. Everyone behind them who had entered the house or were in the corridor remained still, and all eyes were on Nie Zhao.

Boss Nie has to be mindful of Mrs. Nie's feelings, but the real power is in his hands, and he is the one who gives orders.

This is the dining hall of a medium-sized ship, with a large window offering a view outside.
