Chapter 456: You Guessed Right, But There Is No Prize

Upon hearing the Information Officer's words, everyone immediately gathered in front of the computer.

Sure enough, they saw a coordinate slowly moving, and it was not too far from them! He had people sail the ship to catch up with the signal source on the computer, but there was nothing on the sea surface, confirming the boat captain's words. Ya Qi looked at Chen Jiajun and said, "Boss, how should we handle this? Are we going to keep chasing? This yacht can't go too far!"

Chen Jiajun looked at the map of the surrounding area, pondered for a moment, and pointed to a blank area: "What place is this?"

"It seems to be called Xiludao; it's just a desert island, there's nothing on it!" The Information Officer looked at the map and said to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun took out his Satellite Phone and dialed Bai Lu's number: "Bai Lu, I'm summoning you over here!"

"Understood, Boss!" After saying that, Bai Lu hung up the phone directly.

Chen Jiajun chose remote summoning on the system page and summoned Bai Lu, who was in Brunei, over.

A dazzling blue magic circle lit up, and the next second, Bai Lu walked out from within the circle.

Chen Jiajun nodded and greeted Bai Lu: "I want to bring up a yacht from the seabed; can you do it?"

After hearing this, Bai Lu's large eyes suddenly flashed with a deep, dark blue, like seawater.

"Of course!"

As the White Queen who had twice been a host to the Phoenix, her Phoenix Force was extraordinary, and after such a long time of being summoned, her Phoenix Force had also been mostly liberated by the system.

Chen Jiajun snapped his fingers and said: "Very good, blow this thing to the place on the map for me, and lift it straight up!"

Bai Lu nodded, then followed Chen Jiajun to the deck.

Chen Jiajun sneered and said: "The Ether Society thinks I have no way to deal with them, then just wait and see!"

After the ship had sailed quite a distance away, Bai Lu closed her eyes and lifted her hands slightly; a ripple appeared on the previously calm sea surface.

Subsequently, a cold wind blew over, making everyone on the ship feel a chill.

Then this wind grew stronger and stronger, and began to converge in the direction Bai Lu specified, forming a thin wind pillar!

As time passed, the wind pillar grew more robust, and a tornado on the sea was formed just like that.

After the tornado took shape, it continuously churned the seawater to continue strengthening itself, and the power of the natural disaster slowly manifested.

Meanwhile, on the submarine at the bottom of the sea.

Shang En and Wei Hong were feeling irritable about how to explain the failure of this mission.

Suddenly, they heard the submarine's power system cut off instantly, red emergency lights began to flash, and then a piercing alarm sounded, leaving the two people who were originally in the reception room looking bewildered.

"What happened?" Shang En immediately grabbed a sailor and asked.

The sailor said anxiously: "A sea storm has appeared nearby and is moving toward the direction of our submarine!"

"What, a sea storm?" Shang En was shocked.

The sailor could not spare the time to talk to Shang En and immediately returned to his post.

Wei Hong said uneasily: "Mr. Shang En, won't something happen?"

Shang En had no confidence in his heart either, but he still appeased Wei Hong, saying: "Don't worry, so many countries have submarines; have you ever seen a submarine get into trouble because of a storm? I'll go talk to the submarine pilot!"

Saying this, Shang En went straight to the cockpit and shouted at the pilot: "What's the situation?"

"Sir, a sea tornado appeared out of nowhere, and it is rapidly approaching our direction!" The pilot was also covered in cold sweat, saying this while operating the submarine.

Seeing the nervous expressions of the few people, Shang En became anxious: "Don't talk nonsense, are we in danger?"

The pilot could only say: "If we come into direct contact with this tornado, our yacht will likely be lifted straight into the sky! This sea tornado appeared too strangely; our meteorological monitoring equipment didn't detect it at all!"

"What?" Hearing this, Shang En's eyes widened instantly.

One had to know that this submarine weighed several thousand tons, yet it could actually be lifted straight into the sky.

How terrifying must this sea tornado be?

Thinking of this, Shang En hurriedly asked: "Can we dodge it?"

"This... we are trying!" the pilot said ambiguously.

Hearing this, Shang En knew the submarine was beyond saving and went straight to find the captain: "There is an escape pod on the submarine, right?"

The captain was also sweating profusely; hearing Shang En's reminder, his eyes lit up, and then he hesitated: "Yes, but the number of people the escape pod can carry is limited... I'm afraid there is no way to take everyone out!"

"Abandon the others!" Shang En said very coldly: "You and a few pilots leave with me; don't worry about the others!"

"But..." The captain still felt some reluctance.

But Shang En said with a cold face: "Did you not hear my order?"

The captain felt a Cold War shiver through his body and hurriedly said: "Understood, sir!"

Since he was prepared to abandon the others, the captain ordered all cabin doors to be sealed, then took Shang En from the other side to reach the submarine's escape pod.

After a few operations by the pilots, the submarine directly ejected the huge escape pod.

Subsequently, the thrusters at the bottom of the escape pod immediately changed the original route, quickly fleeing in the opposite direction, and continuously rising toward the sea surface.

And the other sailors locked inside the submarine, including Wei Hong, did not discover this.

By the time they discovered it, it was obviously too late.

"The captain took people and fled; we are trapped on the seabed!" a sailor said with a panicked expression.

Hearing this sentence from the sailor, panic spread continuously throughout the submarine.

Soon, Wei Hong also felt that something was wrong and pulled a sailor to ask: "What exactly happened?"

"Hahaha, they all fled, leaving us here to wait for death! Hahaha!"

The fear of the deep, dark sea could easily drive people mad, and added to the desperate situation they were facing, many sailors lost their minds on the spot and began to brawl with each other.

Wei Hong was scared to death and was frantically pounding on the submarine's hatch.

But at the next moment, a feeling of the world spinning came over him, and then he lost consciousness.

When Wei Hong woke up again, he found that the submarine had stabilized.

Looking toward the submarine's window, he discovered that he had miraculously survived and had even landed on a desert island.

Walking out from the damaged breach of the submarine, the sky had already brightened.

The feeling of having survived a disaster made Wei Hong break down and cry uncontrollably.

Quite a few of the Haiyuan inside the submarine had also survived, and their state was much the same as Wei Hong's.

Once they had vented their emotions, the group had to consider how to leave this island.

The Haiyuan began to discuss it all at once, and Wei Hong couldn't get a word in; just as a group of Haiyuan were planning to use the submarine's radio to contact nearby ships,

Wei Hong suddenly spotted the silhouette of a yacht on the boundless sea.

This immediately excited the group, and they hurriedly found things on the small island to start a fire and send a distress signal.

They also shouted and yelled, intending to attract the ship's attention.

Their efforts for half a day were effective; using binoculars, the group saw the yacht heading in their direction. As the yacht drew closer, the Haiyuan and Wei Hong took inflatable life rafts from the submarine and approached the yacht.

The sea here was too shallow; if the yacht came too close, there was a high risk of running aground.

Seeing this group of stranded Haiyuan, the people on the yacht even lent a hand to pull them aboard.

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Wei Hong thanked the people on the yacht with a disheveled face, but when he looked up and saw the owner of the yacht, he froze on the spot.

That's right, this yacht was driven by Chen Jiajun.

And at this moment, Chen Jiajun, holding a glass of whiskey, looked at Wei Hong with a playful expression and said: "Boss Wei Hong, is it? You sure are hard to find!"

Wei Hong only felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his speech became somewhat incoherent: "Mr... Mr. Chen?"

"Surprised? Unexpected?" Chen Jiajun sneered at Wei Hong: "You even dared to take over my things; you really have some nerve, damn it!"

Wei Hong's teeth were chattering incessantly, making a strange "clack-clack-clack" sound, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling.

Even in his dreams, he had never imagined that the person on this ship would be Chen Jiajun.

If he had known earlier, he would rather have starved to death on the deserted island than board this ship.

Now, it was too late for him to even jump into the sea.

He could only squeeze out a smile that looked worse than crying and said: "Mr. Chen, I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding here!"

"Misunderstanding?" Chen Jiajun sneered and said: "I'd like to hear what kind of misunderstanding you, this guy from the Ether Society, could have!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun mention the Ether Society in one breath directly crushed the last shred of wishful thinking in Wei Hong's heart.

He could only say with a deathly pale face: "Mr. Chen, I was blinded by greed. Can I buy my life with money? I have a ton of gold, I can give it all to you!"

Chen Jiajun's face darkened, and he kicked Wei Hong to the ground.

Chen Jiajun used his full strength in this kick, leaving Wei Hong unable to crawl up for a long time, clutching his abdomen and sweating coldly.

Chen Jiajun grabbed his hair and dragged him up, slapped him across the face, and said coldly: "Do you think I don't know that batch of gold belongs to Mr. Zheng of Hong Kong and the Zhou family? Playing tricks on me when you're at death's door!"

"I..." Wei Hong struggled to crawl up, his eyes full of fear as he still wanted to say something to Chen Jiajun.

But Chen Jiajun had already lost patience and directly ordered the people from the Information Department to drag him away: "I want results before we reach the shore!"

"Understood, Boss!"

The Information Officer gave a grim smile, and the two of them hauled the constantly begging Wei Hong into the yacht's cabin.

Subsequently, shrill screams rang out from inside the cabin.

This caused the Haiyuan who had survived the disaster to show expressions of terror on their faces.

Chen Jiajun smiled and reassured them: "Personal grudge, it has nothing to do with you, but you understand what to say after we go ashore, right?"

These Haiyuan now knew exactly who Chen Jiajun was and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

After the yacht turned back, the Information Officer finally managed to get what Chen Jiajun wanted out of them.

For this, they could be said to have exhausted all means, their bodies stained with blood as if they were evil ghosts: "Boss, I've found out! That Shang En of the Ether Society took the captain and the pilots and escaped in a life pod when the waterspout hit!"

"Hmph!" Chen Jiajun sneered and said: "It really fits the character of these people! Good thing I left a backup plan!"

The subordinate continued: "This guy has quite a lot of family property, with nearly hundreds of millions in assets, both overt and covert, mostly in the hands of his mistress Tiffany. It won't be difficult to get it!"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said: "Ya Qi, you go handle this matter!"

A few hours ago, at sea.

The life pod surfaced, and Shang En and his group watched with their own eyes as the terrifying waterspout lifted the submarine they had previously been in from the seabed and smashed it hard onto a nameless small island.

Although the height it was lifted wasn't great, being able to lift a behemoth of nearly 3,000 tons from the seabed was still an extremely terrifying scene.

The few people present almost forgot to breathe.

Fortunately, the waterspout soon left this area of water and continued on, and only then did everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Shang En took out a satellite phone and dialed a number.

About an hour later, the sound of a helicopter came from afar.

"We're saved!" A look of joy appeared on the faces of the captain and the others. After the helicopter approached, everyone immediately climbed up the rope ladder.

Shang En climbed onto the aircraft, patted the person who pulled him up, and smiled: "Almost didn't make it back!"

The person who pulled Shang En onto the aircraft was none other than the double-dealing turncoat Su Xingbai.

Su Xingbai smiled at Shang En and said: "How did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Shang En spread his hands and said: "We were hiding well on the seabed, able to avoid Chen Jiajun's sight, but I didn't expect to encounter a waterspout!"

"What about Wei Hong?"

"Probably dead by now!" Shang En said indifferently: "Anyway, his utility value is gone! It even saved a bit of the organization's budget!"

Hearing Shang En's cold-blooded words, Su Xingbai's face revealed a strange smile as he said: "The Big Boss was right after all; you bastards have never treated collaborators as human beings, just as pawns on a chessboard!"

Hearing Su Xingbai's words, Shang En was stunned for a moment.

Just as he wanted to say something, he saw Su Xingbai pull a handgun from his waist, and with "Bang! Bang! Bang!", he fired several shots in a row, blowing the heads off the captain and the pilots beside Shang En.

Shang En's eyes widened immediately as he said: "What are you doing?"

Su Xingbai aimed the muzzle at Shang En and said: "What do you think?"

"Wait, we can talk this over!" Shang En hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Wei Hong was just an accident, and you are a collaborator we have cultivated for many years!"

Su Xingbai revealed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "Sorry, I am an Undercover! Can't you tell even now?"

"Undercover?" Shang En's eyeballs were almost popping out of their sockets.

His brain was pondering what the Undercover that Su Xingbai spoke of meant. If Su Xingbai had not been on their side from the very beginning, then... there was only one person who could have done this.

That person was Chen Jiajun!

Shang En said to Su Xingbai with a look of horror, "You are actually one of Chen Jiajun's people!"

Su Xingbai smiled and said, "Correct, but there is no prize!"

Shang En said in disbelief, "When exactly did this happen? We have been vetting you all this time; if you had defected to Chen Jiajun, it would have been impossible for us not to notice!"

"You want to ask me when I made contact with the Big Boss, right?" Su Xingbai said indifferently, "I'm not afraid to tell you, back when I was still a worthless punk, I was already the Big Boss's man! The Big Boss's vision is something you Gweilo and fake foreigners cannot imagine!"

Shang En looked at Su Xingbai in terror, unable to speak for a long time.

According to the timeline, Chen Jiajun had already begun his layout before Su Xingbai had even become the leader of Yifeng.

Doesn't that mean he had already planted this nail when the Ether Society first clashed with Chen Jiajun? What terrifying scheming this is! Su Xingbai said indifferently, "Alright, you already know what you should know. Just be good and come with me to see the Big Boss in a moment!"

Saying this, Su Xingbai stopped wasting words with Shang En and directly smashed the butt of his gun hard against the back of Shang En's neck, knocking him unconscious instantly.

Afterwards, he gestured to the helicopter pilot, and the helicopter began its return flight. (End of this chapter)
