Rescue Operation, Tycoon Strikes

In the middle of the night, as Lin Yu lay on his small single bed in his room, brainstorming new "roles" and "scripts," a light drizzle finally began to fall from the overcast clouds that had hung over the window for most of the day.

Raindrops were pounded and shattered on the window by the evening breeze, reflecting the dim streetlights outside.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Jiang City, shrouded in the night rain, in a budget hotel in the south of the city, Gao Shan, known as "Order," stood by the window, facing the rain-soaked glass, and heavily pressed the answer button on his buzzing phone screen.

Li Hua's voice came from inside.

"The news is true, well done, Gao Shan."

"I've confirmed it...this is indeed the location of the 'Marauders' stronghold."

"Knowing this news will give us a significant advantage."

Gao Shan sighed upon hearing this, but he was not happy at all.

"This wasn't my achievement; in fact, it has absolutely nothing to do with me..."

"It was our team's 'Doctor' who brought back this news in May."

As he said this, he unconsciously clenched his fist.

As expected, Li Hua noticed something amiss over the phone.

"What happened with the news that came back in May?"

"As the captain of May, why do you seem unaware of his whereabouts?"

Li Hua's voice turned serious.

Gao Shan's voice was tinged with shame as he hesitated before speaking, "I..."

The tone of that single word was enough for Li Hua to make a judgment.

"Gao Shan, you don't need to say anything, let me guess."

"Did you encounter any danger in May? And was it this danger that prevented you from reporting these things to us?"

Li Hua asked calmly, but Gao Shan gripped the phone tightly and did not answer.

But for Li Hua, silence was already the answer.

Li Hua let out a sigh of relief on the phone.

"I see..."

"Now, as the 'Order' Administrator of Sea City and the head of the East China Region, I order you to tell me what your team's experience and what happened in May!"

"I will provide the Highest Level of support and assistance to your team, together with Jiangcheng Administrator and 'Order' Honorary Member Tycoon —regardless of the consequences of your report, I will take full responsibility for all the results!"

"You only need to follow my orders and answer my questions!"

Li Hua spoke firmly, Gao Shan paused for a moment before replying immediately.

"Clear!"

Li Hua's words just now were like a reassuring pill, instantly putting Gao Shan at ease.

Although the situation hadn't changed, Gao Shan suddenly realized...

They are "Order"!

The members of the "Freedom Alliance" are indeed terrifying, but...

This place remains the territory of "Order," and they are the strongest organization.

Gao Shan quickly composed himself and Leng Jing reported the events of the afternoon in detail.

His own mistake, Lin Yu's decisiveness...

Gao Shan reported everything without reservation.

After listening to Gao Shan's report, Li Hua pondered for a few seconds and then gave his response.

"You mean, he was taken away by people from the 'Freedom Alliance' whom he happened to meet?"

"But for some reason... he's now revealed the 'Marauders' stronghold?"

Gao Shan nodded.

"That's right, I suspect the 'Freedom Alliance' might have secretly joined forces with the 'Marauders,' but if that's the case, then May could be in danger!"

"Perhaps the 'Freedom Alliance' will spare him for some strange reason, but if he ends up in the 'Marauders' territory, or is handed over to the 'Marauders' by the 'Freedom Alliance'... then his fate will be grim."

Gao Shan couldn't help but voice his concerns.

"I understand," Li Hua said quickly. "Tycoon and I are near the Marauders' stronghold—let's sneak in and take a look."

"Although there's no indication of the [Soul Gold Brooch], it seems to have last appeared in this very place."

"Please inform the other team leaders to be ready to provide Reinforcements at any time."

Li Hua said this, and then hung up the phone.

Gao Shan held his phone, feeling a slight reduction in self-blame and worry, but not a complete disappearance.

"Please, nothing bad should happen, May!"

He stared at the text message with only three characters, and couldn't help but feel worried.

Such a brave and righteous young man, able to hastily send out intelligence even in a dangerous situation...

Although the other party is not yet a member of "Order," in Gao Shan's heart, the other party is already his Comrade-in-Arms and colleague.

Gao Shan absolutely did not want anything to happen to the other party!

He looked out the window; the rain was continuous and fine, and the clouds were dark and low, shrouding the entire Jiang City in a gloomy and damp atmosphere.

The wide river flowing through the city seemed to connect with the sky through the rain, creating a somber atmosphere.

Although there is no basis...

But rainy nights like this seem to be closely associated with bloodshed and death.

At that moment, Li Hua, standing in front of the old cargo ship, held up a large, transparent umbrella and silently put away his phone.

The Tycoon standing next to him, wearing a plastic raincoat, grinned.

"Infiltration? Brother Li Hua, that's not my forte."

He had been standing right next to Li Hua and overheard the entire conversation between Li Hua and Gao Shan.

Li Hua smiled.

"Just comfort that captain from Yu Province," he sighed. "He's still alive. Hesitating and indecisive infiltration might actually cause danger."

"Gambling with other people's lives doesn't really seem like your style," the Tycoon stretched. "Although I'm willing to follow your orders, you have to convince me first."

Li Hua adjusted his glasses and spoke calmly.

"You know, Brother He, I never gamble blindly."

"I just checked the probabilities. The probability that a direct assault on this spot would kill 'May May' is almost zero."

The Tycoon laughed.

"I see, then I'm relieved!"

Li Hua nodded. "Yes, so I plan to go all out next—I also need Brother He's help. I know it will come at a great cost, but... consider it a favor I owe you."

Upon hearing this, the Tycoon laughed and asked, "Is it 'Gambler' Li Hua who owes me a favor, or 'Order' Regional Administrator Li Hua who owes me a favor... or perhaps the Third Young Master Li Sea City Li Family who owes me a favor?"

Li Hua answered earnestly, "Yes, I have them all."

The Tycoon raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Oh my, you think highly of that kid!"

He immediately waved his hand.

"I was just kidding. Let's not go into the details of favors; after all, you called me 'Brother He' once."

"Moreover, the 'Freedom Alliance' and the 'Marauders' dared to openly form an alliance on my territory and abduct members of 'Order'..."

The Tycoon raised his hand, and a clanging sound of metal clashing filled the air.

Like coins rolling down, a glint of gold flashed from his fingertips.

At the same time, a hint of ferocity crept into the Tycoon's tone.

"I never intended to let them go!"
