Chapter 618: The Power of the Lucky Halo, Lin Ke Xin's Worry

Qianjing Yehe took a deep breath, walked to the phone, and picked up the receiver.

"Moshi moshi, Major Qianjing, something's wrong—the radio on the wounded-ship arranged by the Chief Commander Young Master suddenly lost contact, and we've been unable to reach it for two hours."

"What, lost contact?" Hearing this, Qianjing Yehe's face changed dramatically.

To ensure Yuan Chief's safety, a dedicated person on the ship contacts the Jinmen Special Agency.

Every half hour, they report safety to Jinmen.

Although it's a bit exaggerated, for Yuan Chief's safety, everything is worth it.

Because Qianjing Yehe is fully aware that everything he has comes from the 'Yuan Chief'.

If something happens to him, not to mention himself, the entire Jinmen Special Agency will suffer as well.

"Hai, the radio signal also suddenly disappeared, Major His Excellency, this…"

The voice on the other end of the phone was terrified.

"What are we waiting for? Immediately organize personnel, based on the ship's sailing route, and carry out the search-and-rescue operation at once!" Qianjing Yehe almost shouted these words.

"Keep trying to contact your side until you can get through!"

After hanging up, Qianjing Yehe staggered twice, almost collapsing to the ground, and then rushed out of the office.

Chen Yongren had no idea about the turmoil in Jinmen at this moment; he had already taken the submarine to the sea surface, opened the front hatch, adjusted the seat a bit, lay back on it, drank a Yao Xi drink, enjoyed the sea breeze, and admired the night sky.

When the ship met with disaster, Chen Yongren could not naturally return to Jinmen immediately.

Otherwise, it would only arouse suspicion from those with ulterior motives.

He should stay out for a few more days, treating it as a vacation; besides, Lin Ke Xin is at home, so if anything abnormal happens, he would notice it instantly, without worrying about overdoing things.

The sky was dotted with stars; hearing the waves at his ears, the cool sea breeze brushed his face, making Chen Yongren feel a relaxation unlike anything before.

The upgraded submarine comes with built-in navigation, so there's no need to worry about getting lost and not being able to return home.

You can always trust whatever the Dog System produces.

"This is life." Chen Yongren took a sip of the drink and suddenly sighed.

Truly, the times are peaceful.

Even with Insight turned on, there are no distracting thoughts bothering him.

No wonder fishing enthusiasts always like to find a secluded spot to enjoy themselves alone.

It's not about enjoying fishing; it's truly about living for oneself. When he has free time later, he can take the submarine out to sea for some fun.

Thinking about fishing, Chen Yongren then realized something was missing from his hand.

It turned out he was missing a fishing rod.

No…

His superb memory told Chen Yongren that the Dog System had given him a fishing rod as a reward.

He checked the warehouse.

Sure enough, there was one.

【High-Grade Carbon Fiber Fishing Rod】: Made of high-grade materials, durable; as long as the fish nest is set well, even sharks can be caught for you to see.

Chen Yongren was not polite either; he took out the fishing rod and made a graceful cast.

Afterward, he lay back on the seat, humming a little tune.

Since there was no bait, Chen Yongren also knew it was impossible to catch any fish.

But this is Chen Taigong fishing; those who wish…

Huh?

Suddenly.

Chen Yongren noticed the float on the sea surface twitch twice.

Could there really be a fish hooked?

Chen Yongren didn't have time to be surprised—the reel was already spinning wildly.

Holy shit!

This fish definitely won't be small!

Chen Yongren quickly reeled in, and it turned out to be a grouper.

Is this the legendary newbie protection period?

Chen Yongren cast a second rod, and within two minutes the float twitched twice again.

Huh?

Upon reeling in, he saw it was a one-meter-long beltfish.

"…" Chen Yongren.

This newbie protection period is a bit absurd.

Chen Yongren then cast several more rods in succession.

As a result, not a single cast came up empty.

Chen Yongren's warehouse also gained various deep-sea fish such as long-tailed bird fish, leaf-lipped trumpet seabream, golden pineapple fish, dragon grouper, brown-spotted fish, and cloud-patterned spotted fish.

"Hiss~"

This luck of his is a bit off.

Luck?

Chen Yongren suddenly recalled that, back when he was in Chongqing, the Dog System had rewarded him with a Lucky Halo.

Back then he used to pick up big foreign dollars every day, and later he even ran into a Japanese special agency organization that wanted to take action against National Government officials.

Ah… this…

Could it be that the halo is acting up again?

Chen Yongren faintly felt that the power of this dog halo should be far more than this.

Relying on the system halo, Chen Yongren fished at sea for three days, truly eating seafood till vomiting.

With a body immune to all poisons, there was no need to worry about a bad stomach.

After another three days at sea, Chen Yongren felt the time was about right and prepared to return.

During these three days, the Jinmen Special Agency was almost crazy looking for the Yuan Chief, and all ships of the shipping company were dispatched to sea.

The Bei Fang side also attached great importance to this matter, even dispatching reconnaissance planes to conduct an aerial search within a 50-nautical-mile radius of the ships' routes.

But because Chen Yongren was operating a submarine underwater, they weren't discovered.

In the vast ocean there was no place to get water, so Chen Yongren deliberately went two days without drinking water.

Chen Yongren's lips were pale, hair dry, because long exposure to saltwater had soaked the clothes, which began to fade, making Chen Yongren look like a madman.

When reaching within 300 meters of the Jinmen coastline, Chen Yongren finally jumped out of the submarine and desperately swam toward the shore.

……

Shallow Well and the Upright Leadership Unit were searching the beach; it absolutely did not believe that the Young Master Yuan Chief had just died like that.

Even if it were dead, Shallow Well also wanted to find its corpse.

Youqichuangongjingxiang, upon receiving the news of Chen Yongren's disappearance, went into a fit of rage, fainted on the spot, and is still on an IV in the hospital; Youqichuangongjingxiang's whole body feels drained, with no spirit at all.

Lin Ke Xin is currently searching the beach for Chen Yongren's traces.

Upon hearing the news of Chen Yongren's mishap, her initial reaction was also disbelief.

Chen Yongren is very cunning; how could they possibly put themselves in danger?

But after several days with no news, Lin Ke Xin gradually began to lose confidence.

From the initial calm to the final anxiety…

"You with the surname Chen, you can't just die like that."

"We've faced big winds and waves; we can't capsize in a gutter."

"As long as you're alive, at worst later when you tease me, I'll go along with you."

……

After years of getting along, Lin Ke Xin had also grown accustomed to having Chen Yongren around.

Suddenly.

Lin Ke Xin spotted a figure in the distance on the shore, stumbling as it ran toward the beach.

Huh?

These clothes seem familiar; where have I seen them before?

Chen Yongren!

"Chief, Chief!" Lin Ke Xin's heart stirred; she shouted loudly and ran toward that figure.

Faintly, Chen Yongren heard someone calling them.

They followed the sound and looked.

It was actually Lin Ke Xin?

How could she be here?

Chen Yongren deliberately put on a weak appearance, their body swaying twice.

Lin Ke Xin took a swift step and promptly embraced Chen Yongren: "Where have you been these days? We were worried sick about you!"

Seeing Chen Yongren's listless appearance, Lin Ke Xin only felt an inexplicable heartache.

"I..." Chen Yongren feigned weakness, then immediately tilted their head.

Hmm…

Quite soft.

Hehe.
