"Cheng Yue, you come with me. The rest of you stay at the dock and be ready to act at any time," Ning Yuan ordered.

"Young Master, you only brought Cheng Yue with you?" The people standing nearby were stunned.

Each gang leader can bring about ten people onto the ship, but their young master only brought Cheng Yue and left the rest here.

They're here to back up their young master! To prevent those old foxes from bullying him!

They never expected their young master to abandon them like this.

“You’ll be a burden on the ship, but you’ll be great help at the dock,” Ning Yuan said, looking at the group of people in front of him and the brothers who had come with him.

Zhang Zezhi and others: ...

ha?

They would only become a burden if they boarded the ship.

They were veteran team leaders, after all!

Despite being a veteran of countless battles and possessing considerable skill and marksmanship, he was seen as a burden by their young master!

"Yes!" Cheng Yue replied solemnly, completely different from before.

We can laugh and joke around when we're not having anything to do, but this situation isn't suitable.

Zhang Zezhi and the others had no choice but to reply, "Yes."

The entire Longfeng Gang watched as Ning Yuan and Cheng Yue boarded the yacht.

Only then did Zhang Zezhi and the others realize what was going on. "Old Wu, what did the young master mean by saying that staying at the dock would be a great help?"

"I'm also wondering... could something happen at the dock later?" Wu An pondered carefully and asked in return.

Their young master usually speaks very briefly to them, avoiding unnecessary words or remaining silent altogether, but just now he spoke a long sentence.

Their young master doesn't seem like the type to spout nonsense or offer comforting words that might actually be useful.

So the statement that staying at the dock would be a great help definitely has another meaning.

helper.

In other words, they are not the main force, but rather the support force.

In other words...

Their young master didn't actually leave things unarranged; quite the opposite, he did.

In an instant, Wu An and the others understood what he meant.

"Brothers, wait here for the young master to return." Wu An immediately gave the order. After Ning Yuan boarded the ship, the other gang members also turned their attention away and waited at the dock strictly according to their boss's instructions.

Only take action if there is any sign of trouble.

"I wonder if your young master will even make it back alive," the members of the Wind Riding Society muttered.

Their boss's plan was very meticulous. Jiang Ningyuan wanted to come back?

That might be a bit difficult.

Given that they've invested a lot of money this time, how could they possibly let Jiang Ningyuan come back so easily?

"What did you say?" Zhang Zezhi, with his fiery temper, was displeased upon hearing the other party's words.

Their young master had barely boarded the yacht when someone said such unlucky things; no one would be happy to hear that.

"Hey Luo, shut up." The leader of the Chengfeng Association glanced at Zhang Zezhi and scolded him.

After that, the people on the dock fell silent and waited in the blazing sun.

After Ning Yuan and Cheng Yue reached the dock, the yacht slowly descended the stairs. Ning Yuan led Cheng Yue up the stairs, calm and composed. There was no fear or tension on their faces, as if they were battle-hardened and well-trained, having seen this kind of scene many times before.

"I'll make it quick and you can have Ning Yue's homemade egg pastry," Ning Yuan promised.

The leadership meeting usually lasts four days, but he will try to make an effort...

Chen Mingxian was dealt with within a day.

Then I'll go back to that lousy platform, Pingyin, and ask them why they won't let me give a reward.

Money should be spent wisely; giving a tip to Jiang Yuan is worthwhile and not a waste.

A hint of surprise flashed across Cheng Yue's eyes, as if he hadn't expected Ning Yuan to know about this, nor that he would reject his liking for his mother.

but……

"Then I'll thank you in advance, young master." Cheng Yue smiled, bit his lip, and the lollipop in his mouth crumbled into pieces.

Cheng Yue threw the lollipop handle into the sea, put his hands in his pockets, his eyes sharp, and even his aura changed.

For the sake of egg crisps, let's get this done quickly!

At the same time, he realized that Ning Yuan had given him permission to pursue Ning Yue.

But why did he call Ning Yue by her full name instead of "Mother"?

He used to call her "Mother."

Is he going through puberty?

Cheng Yue thought to himself.

After the two boarded the yacht, the staircase slowly retracted into the yacht.

The sea breeze whistled across the shimmering surface of the sea, creating waves that crashed against the massive yacht on the shore, splashing spray.

Inside the luxurious yacht, all was quiet.

Chen Mingxian rubbed the jade clasp on his middle finger with his thumb and glanced at the two people present.

Yuan Sheng was dressed in a dark gray Tang suit and held a cane. Although he was old and hunched over, his presence was no less imposing than that of the others present.

Behind him followed a cool-looking girl in a T-shirt and hat.

The girl was fair-skinned and looked petite and delicate, but you could tell from her strong arms that she had worked out a lot and was a trained fighter.

Although half her face was covered by a hat, judging from the fact that she didn't look around or seem nervous as soon as she entered the yacht, she must have been to this kind of event many times before.

Having been young and experienced in such occasions, she must be Yuan Sheng's proud granddaughter, Yuan Shuyan.

Yuan Shuyan noticed someone was staring at her but didn't dare to look up, fearing it was Yao Qi watching her.

Yao Qi seemed to be watching her all the time; as she looked up as she entered the yacht, their eyes met.

A faint smile played in his eyes, a smile that made her want to jump into the sea, and she was even more afraid that he might say something shocking in front of everyone.

Just as Yuan Shuyan had thought, Yao Qi's gaze was indeed fixed on her.

This applies not only when buying a yacht, but also now.

He smiled, and seeing Yuan Shuyan's desperate expression, he knew what she was thinking.

She's too easy to guess.

but……

His father's behavior is rather unpredictable.

His smile today was even more cunning than usual.

It's like...

They seemed to be plotting something.

Judging from his father's appearance, it's clear that things won't be peaceful for the leader today.

After observing Yuan Sheng and Yuan Shuyan, Chen Mingxian shifted his gaze to Yao Yong.

Behind Yao Yong stood two tall, handsome men with upright postures.

One is Yao Qi, and the other is Yao Lin.

He had met these two men before, and he had been quite envious of them at the time. Although Yao Yong wasn't particularly capable, he did have a pair of excellent sons.

At the time, he wished Chen Wenxiang could be like Yao Qi, or even like Yao Lin if that wasn't possible. If Chen Wenxiang could be more reliable, he could retire early and enjoy a peaceful life.

As for Yao Yong, he was always a smiling tiger, with a smile on his face no matter when or where. However, his smile today was even brighter than when I saw him a few days ago.

It's probably because the Ning family is about to lose power and become their prey.

The person steering the yacht is still from the Ning family. They can't find out now, but they might discover those people lurking under the yacht in a day or two.

Therefore, we cannot delay.

The longer it drags on, the easier it is to discover clues on the yacht.

Therefore, we must deal with Jiang Ningyuan today.
