The banquet continued, but Ye Chen had lost all interest in continuing.
He said goodbye to several people in charge and left the event venue directly.
As Ye Chen left, a figure in the shadows glanced over seemingly unintentionally. It was a man who looked very honest and simple. He was holding a wine glass and drinking as he walked to a secluded corner.
A message was quickly sent out—the target had left the scene.
After returning to the hotel, Ye Chen immediately asked the hotel to book the fastest yacht for him. He planned to go out to sea tomorrow to visit Nanbo Island.
Nampo Island is about 300 nautical miles from Haeju Island, and the fastest yachts can easily make a round trip in a day.
These yachts are usually operated by specialized companies and have all the necessary staff. Ye Chen naturally rented them all, so he could use this trip as a way to experience the scenery of the South China Sea.
The next morning, the hotel arranged a car to take Ye Chen directly to the pier.
After Ye Chen got out of the car, a middle-aged man in a sailor's uniform was already waiting beside him.
Upon seeing Ye Chen get out of the car, the middle-aged man stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Mr. Ye, I am Sun Hai, the captain of this trip."
Ye Chen nodded and smiled slightly, "Thank you for your help, Captain Sun. Please lead the way."
"Mr. Ye, please come this way."
Captain Sun stepped aside and walked towards the cruise ship to greet Ye Chen, while also introducing the cruise ship that Ye Chen was about to board.
Rows of uniquely designed tourist boats are moored in the harbor, with people getting on and off from time to time.
Most of the people inside were stylish young women, and it was very rare to see someone like Ye Chen alone.
Before long, they arrived at a sleek and luxurious yacht.
Captain Sun chuckled and pointed to the yacht, saying, "Mr. Ye, this yacht is called 'Youlong'. It's 30 meters long and is currently the fastest yacht in Haizhou."
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, wondering when he could buy a yacht for fun.
"President Ye?"
Suddenly, a man's voice came from a luxury yacht nearby.
Ye Chen looked over at the sound and saw a fat, middle-aged man leaning out of the yacht and waving at him with a look of surprise.
"President Zhong?" Ye Chen was also somewhat surprised.
"President Ye, are you also planning to go to sea?" President Zhong leaned forward and asked.
"Since I have some free time today, I thought I'd just take a stroll out to sea," Ye Chen said with a faint smile.
"If I had known that Chairman Ye was going out to sea today, I should have invited you to come with me last night. It's more fun with more people," said President Zhong with a regretful expression.
He did feel a little regretful, having missed such a good opportunity.
If we can go to sea with Ye Chen today, it will be much easier to get on the fast track of the New Energy Association.
"There will be other opportunities in the future, Mr. Zhong. I'll board the ship now." Ye Chen said, preparing to board his own ship.
"When we return from the sea, I, Old Zhong, will treat Chairman Ye to a drink," President Zhong said with a wave of his hand and a smile.
"Hehe, thank you very much," Ye Chen said politely, and then boarded the Youlong.
Under Captain Sun's control, the yacht slowly left the dock and sped off along the route planned the night before.
Half an hour later, the Youlong was in the boundless sea.
The yacht is equipped with a variety of luxurious facilities. Ye Chen lay on the top deck, enjoying the magnificent view of the sea, which was refreshing and invigorating.
An unnamed island in the South China Sea.
A fishing boat with a Philippine sign is quietly moored outside the island.
Inside the cabin, the Nightmare Squad, disguised as fishermen, were resting with their eyes closed.
After receiving intelligence last night that Ye Chen was going to sea today, they gathered their men and rushed here overnight to await orders.
Suddenly, Red Spider received a text message full of gibberish on her phone. After translating it, she said to Wolf King, "The target has already set sail. This is the approximate route."
The Wolf King glanced at it, then turned his gaze to the sea chart spread out on the table. After examining it for a while, a cruel smile appeared on his lips. "I was just wondering how to find an opportunity to strike, but I didn't expect him to actually go to such a remote place to play. He's really asking for trouble!"
He pointed to a location on the nautical chart and said, "Notify Aquino and his men to set off and lay an ambush here."
The location he was pointing to was Nampo Island, less than 100 nautical miles from the island where they were hiding.
Soon, the two fishing boats sailed out of the small island and headed towards Nanbo Island.
......
After a four-hour voyage, the Youlong, which Ye Chen was on, was approaching Nanbo Island.
Nampo Island has a complex and unique topography. The southern part of the island is relatively high, with rolling hills and dense vegetation, forming a natural barrier.
The northern part of the area is relatively flat, with several bays and headlands, forming a large area of natural beaches and freshwater lakes.
Ye Chen stood at the bow of the ship, surveying the terrain of Nanbo Island. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Such a fine island, if it weren't for its distance from Haizhou and the difficulty of development, it would probably have been taken over long ago.
At this moment, Captain Sun came to his side and respectfully asked, "Mr. Ye, we have arrived at Nanbo Island. Where shall we anchor?"
"Let's find a place to dock to the south and go for a stroll," Ye Chen said.
Just as the Youlong was approaching the south side of Nanbo Island, a fishing boat suddenly appeared from behind the island.
Captain Sun was startled and quickly looked over. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Chinese flag flying over the fishing boat.
Although this area belongs to China's waters, the boundaries are not always clear in the vast ocean far from land.
Fishing boats, in particular, often lack precise positioning equipment, and it is common for them to accidentally enter the territorial waters of other countries at sea.
"Mr. Ye, it's probably a fishing boat that veered off course," Captain Sun explained in response to Ye Chen's questioning gaze.
Ye Chen looked in the direction of the fishing boat. After his body was strengthened, his eyesight was also improved, and he could see the people on the deck of the fishing boat from afar.
Those fishermen had prominent cheekbones and thick lips; although they were thin, they exuded a fierce aura.
Moreover, judging from the direction the fishing boat was traveling, it seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally blocking the path behind the Youlong.
Looking at the group of people on the deck who were different from the Chinese fishermen, Ye Chen felt a bad feeling.
This group of people were clearly after the Youlong.
Could they be pirates?
A sense of curiosity arose in Ye Chen's heart. His physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, and dealing with a few pirates was a piece of cake for him.
However, after glancing at the other people on the ship, Ye Chen decided to be cautious and abandon the idea of seeing the pirates.
If they were pirates, they would definitely have weapons. These crew members are just ordinary people; there's no need to put them in danger just because of my curiosity.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen ordered, "Captain Sun, turn around and return to Haizhou."
"Huh?" Captain Sun, who was looking for a suitable anchorage, was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Ye Chen.
"Turn back to the port!" Ye Chen repeated.
Seeing this, Captain Sun suppressed his doubts and ordered the Youlong to turn around.
