Chapter 621: Speculation, Poisonous Diplomacy

The dark-skinned man Jack sneered: "Even if we want to follow you, it's useless. The ship we sent out to follow them has completely disappeared. We don't even know where they are now. How can we find them?"

Owen chuckled and didn't take this difficult matter to heart: "As long as you are willing to do it, I will find a way to find them."

Several people present looked at each other. They were all gangsters from nearby countries. This business deal was too big, and they were facing the Chinese army, and the Xin family had also intervened, so the people behind the scenes found them and joined forces.

The dark-skinned man Jack took a look at Owen and found that this guy was really calm and didn't care about the difficulties they were facing. Thinking of this, he said, "Okay, we'll follow you."

"If we succeed, after we finish this job, we can retire."

After Jack expressed his attitude, the others also expressed their opinions, and finally they agreed to do something big together.

Seeing that they all chose to stay, Owen smiled for the first time from the bottom of his heart: "In that case, let's prepare the boat. If you are late, you will be late."

"It's too late to go out to sea now. Do you know where the island is?" Jack looked at Owen. He knew this man's mental methods and cunningness very well. He would not say this if he was not completely sure.

Owen nodded. "I know where the island is. I've even been there. I heard that the old fox Shang Shang has set up a formation there with some mysterious people from China. There's no way for us to get in."

Not all merchants have a Chinese heart. A merchant had already sold a treasure map. Of course, it was just a copy. The route was the same, and the island was found, but it was impossible to enter.

In fact, they could only see the island from a distance and could not even go onto the island. As they approached the island, the area around it was all covered in white fog and the boats could only circle around.

The methods used by these Chinese people are too mysterious. In the past few years, he has also sought out many capable Chinese people to break the formation, but found that it was of no use.

When he learned that there were people in other countries who knew this method, he went to invite them in person, and even went to Hong Kong to find those respected masters, but in the end he still couldn't enter the island.

Some even said that the island was actually an illusion and disappeared completely when they approached it.

Owen thought this statement was simply crazy. It was an illusion. It was clearly a very large island, even larger than the islands in Japan. How could it be an illusion?

No one knows what the old merchant was thinking back then, he actually bought the island and bought it completely.

It would be fine if they just bought it out, but they also asked people to set up the formation and then hand the things over to the current New China. This practice is simply disgusting to them.

Jack looked at Owen who was lost in thought, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Since you know the location, why do you still let people follow you out to sea? We can just go there directly."

This way we don't have to sacrifice so many men.

Owen said: "I used a ship and those people to test the level of China's military this time. Now it seems that they are more powerful than we thought, so we must bring more powerful people with us."

When Owen and Jack set out with their men, Yu Wanqing and the others were still drifting on the sea, still far from their destination.

Fu Henian walked over to sit opposite Yu Wanqing and asked softly, "What's troubling you?"

He noticed that Yu Xiaowu had been a little silent these past two days, which was not like her at all.

Yu Wanqing looked at Fu Henian: "Uncle Fu, I just miss my children. I haven't been away from them for so long since they were born."

She did miss her children and was also concerned about the situation in China. Today was already the 27th.

She clenched her hands on the table.

Fu Henian laughed when he heard this: "This is normal. You just became a mother and you have to leave three children all of a sudden. We can go back as soon as we find what we need."

Yu Wanqing asked softly, "Uncle Fu, after you find the materials you need, can you go back? Or do you need to stay and lead others to develop it together?"

"Comrade Zhang Wenqian has already contacted overseas businessmen and obtained the donation signatures of the heirs of Chinese businessmen and the direct descendants of overseas businessmen. This island now belongs to our Chinese territory."

Speaking of this, Fu Henian sighed and said that businessmen are righteous.

"We just need to find the mountain range where the materials are hidden. Someone will take over the whole thing. Comrade Chen Xiao and I should go home with you."

Yu Wanqing was stunned. She had rarely heard news about Brother Wen Qian.

Then, Fu Henian continued, "The British Empire and the surrounding countries will definitely get involved in this matter. With such a big piece of cake placed here, they will definitely try to take a bite."

"Zhang Wenqian has a heavy responsibility." He needs to negotiate with officials from these countries.

"Don't worry, with Comrade Zhang here, we just need to do our job well." Fu Henian still trusted the officials chosen by the country. He smiled and said, "I heard that Comrade Zhang has been known for his sharp tongue in foreign countries over the years."

Many countries that attempted to take a bite of China have all been rebuffed.

When Yu Wanqing heard Fu Henian describe Zhang Wenqian like this, and thought about his gentle and humble appearance, she really couldn't imagine a scene where a humble gentleman would confront someone.

"Xiaowu, I'm worried now. Did the merchants really only have one topographic map back then? What if there were two?"

Fu Henian has been thinking about this matter these days. If there really are two topographic maps, one is in the hands of the descendants of the merchants who stayed in China at that time, and the one they have is the one.

The other one was taken away by the businessman who left that year and may have fallen into the hands of the enemy. If things really turn out as he thought, it would be a worrying situation.

Yu Wanqing had never thought about this question. When Fu Henian mentioned it, she was stunned for a moment and nodded: "It is possible, but we can't contact overseas merchants to confirm this matter."

"It seems that we are prepared for the other party to know our sailing route."

Huo Lanci stood outside the door and listened for a while. He walked in slowly and said, "If that's the case, we should consider another possibility."

The three looked at each other and said in unison: "They have already been to the island."

"Very good, we all thought of the same thing, which proves that this possibility is very high. Since they have already been to the island, why are they still following us?" Fu Henian looked at the young couple: "This is a question worth thinking about."

Finally, the three of them put the problem on the table and solicited everyone's opinions.

Bian Hanhai suddenly said, "Is it possible that they have been there, but just couldn't get to the island?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Bian Hanhai and asked him to say more.
