Chapter 205 Delaying Time
To be precise, it was an unformed mass of black mist, looming over the cargo ship from above.
The fog drifted back and forth, seemingly trying desperately to condense, but to no avail.
Visibly weak.
Xu Chi frowned slightly, as the information he had gathered along the way flashed through his mind.
Eighteen years ago, Jiang Fengchun's family had an accident, and Jiang Peng witnessed a struggle between two clouds of mist.
Ten years ago, the Bai family was dragged down by shipping strategies. After Bai Chumeng suddenly saved Xu Feng, the Bai family successfully weathered the crisis.
That's how Bai Chumeng gradually destroyed the Tu brothers' business and manipulated Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai.
He had analyzed it long ago and concluded that, from a businessman's perspective, this black mist must be trying to obtain something through Bai Chumeng.
And now, because they can't get such a thing, they are weak?
Is it life?
No.
Xu Chi immediately denied it.
If it were a matter of life and death, Bai Chumeng could have simply killed Tu Chaoxi.
Instead of repeatedly undermining their cause.
Career... Fog... The Bai family's resurrection...
Suddenly, two words seemed to break through the fog and clearly surfaced in his mind.
...luck?
In an instant, Xu Chi's grip on the steering wheel tightened!
If it's about fate, then what about the warning about the crisis facing the three Tu brothers, Tu Chaoxi and Tu Yao...?
To be more precise, could it be a warning about one's fate?
Or perhaps... a luck progress bar?
In the stillness of the night, inside the cramped supercar, Xu Chi could only hear his own shallow breathing.
He looked in the rearview mirror, but instead of a clear-headed expression, his demeanor grew increasingly serious.
He seemed to instinctively feel that he had not yet touched upon the most important essence.
But he didn't have time to think about it more deeply.
He looked at the black fog again, and a few seconds later, he got out of the car.
...
Inside the cargo ship's hold, Bai Chumeng, her hands trembling, opened the valve of a liquid tank.
Soon, the second, the third...
As the chemical liquid slowly seeped out of the cabin, her pale expression changed from initial panic to numbness, and then to indifference.
She covered her nose and got off the boat only after all the valves were opened.
Tu Yao ran all the way to the vicinity of the shipyard and saw Bai Chumeng quickly step off a liquid cargo ship.
The large-scale handling of ships was bound to attract attention, so Bai Chumeng only brought a group of workers and a few patrolling bodyguards tonight.
Her expression was obscured by the darkness, but it was clear that she waved to several bodyguards and whispered a few instructions.
The bodyguards quickly boarded the remaining liquid cargo ships, and soon after, excessive liquid began to seep out of the hulls.
Tu Yao's eyes flickered. Her father hadn't had time to explain to her before he went to protect the workers on the modified ship, which meant there must have been an unexpected danger.
The most dangerous part of the entire shipyard is this batch of liquid cargo ships.
Bai Chumeng...she wanted to detonate these ships directly!
It can both destroy those modified ships and help that black mist steal the luck of those workers.
Sure enough, the next second, Bai Chumeng turned around and walked to the main control panel, pressed the main switch, and shut down all the doors of the cargo ships, including the cargo hold where the workers were!
The cargo hold is currently a closed space; simply raising the temperature inside the hold could instantly detonate the chemical liquids!
Since we're going to do it, we should leave no evidence. These bodyguards are also a potential threat, so we might as well deal with them together!
She gritted her teeth and decisively pressed the heat up button!
Surprisingly, no explosion was heard!
Bai Chumeng frowned. "What's going on?"
She pressed it again.
The surroundings remained completely silent!
On the control panel, Bai Chumeng kept repeating the actions she was performing.
But the scene she envisioned never appeared!
Her expression became somewhat flustered.
"What on earth happened?! Why didn't it explode?!"
She stopped immediately, frowned, paused for only a few seconds, then turned around and pulled out a small can of spare gasoline from under the control panel.
Outside the shipyard, Tu Yao watched this scene quietly. A few seconds later, she looked up at the cargo ship.
The thick blue light that was just moments ago is now visibly disappearing bit by bit.
Each time Bai Chumeng presses the button, the blue light weakens by one layer.
Tu Yao's nose suddenly felt a little sore.
Eighteen years ago, wasn't it the same way that Little Uncle protected that cruise ship, but in the end, he couldn't defeat the power of that black mist and exhausted all his strength?
...Little Daddy, you're a bit clumsy.
Tu Yao snapped out of her daze, quickly wiped the corner of her eye, looked around, found a rock that was neither too big nor too small, and then threw it forward with all her might!
With a loud "bang!"
It crashed into the fence next to the control panel.
The sound was faint, but it couldn't hide the silence around her. Bai Chumeng immediately looked up and saw a familiar, slender figure bending down to pick something up in front of the shipyard's main gate.
Her brow twitched violently!
"...Tu Yao?!"
What is she doing here?!
What is she doing?!
Bai Chumeng quickly found out what Tu Yao was planning to do.
A few seconds later, she got up again, carrying a bunch of stones in her arms, and started smashing them down!
Caught off guard.
Even through the thick glass window, the constant barrage of stones still made her panic.
Across from her, Tu Yao nonchalantly picked up a rock as big as her head!
He struggled to lift it, then took two more steps forward, and it was about to fall on him!
Bai Chumeng finally couldn't hold back any longer and poked her head out angrily, "Tu Yao! What's wrong with you!"
But the angry shout did not stop her. The next second, the stone smashed heavily against the glass window with a loud "bang!"
Bai Chumeng watched helplessly as the glass in front of her cracked open instantly! The small control panel seemed to shudder as if it had been hit with great force!
Looking at Tu Yao again, she had no intention of stopping at all. Her eyes were still searching around, and then she clearly set her sights on another, even bigger rock!
Bai Chumeng's heart skipped a beat, and she slapped the control device hard.
"This madman!"
She immediately put down the gasoline and walked out of the control panel!
"What are you doing!"
Tu Yao looked completely innocent, yet spoke with an air of self-righteousness: "I'm just here to help Sang Sang vent her anger."
She added, "And also, help my brothers get revenge."
Bai Chumeng scoffed instantly.
"What I did is nothing compared to what you did."
Ultimately, she only ruined the luck of the three Tu brothers, while Tu Yao back then really did her best to destroy these brothers.
Now they just casually throw up the word "amnesia" and call it a day. What a bunch of idiots with no moral compass.
"You should also thank me. Without my meddling with Cheng Sangsang, you wouldn't have had the chance to reconnect with your kinship."
Tu Yao's eyes flickered slightly. "So you know everything."
They knew they were children of the Chiang family, and they also knew what "Tu Yao" had done ten years ago.
So, can she be completely certain that the person behind Bai Chumeng is the same person who instructed Chu Man?
The shipwreck eighteen years ago was the starting point. Ten years ago, and now, from beginning to end, it has all been dominated by that black fog.
Bai Chumeng suddenly realized something.
Tu Yao is stalling for time! And trying to extract information from her?!
Her expression changed instantly. Why was Tu Yao stalling for time?
...Did she know something? Is that why she's here?!
She immediately turned to leave, but the next second, a convoy of cars suddenly appeared from the direction of the shipyard intersection!
