At this moment, a sudden realization flashed through the mind of Nie Yun, causing him to freeze. His expression shifted, and then boundless rage surged within him, the veins on his forehead bulging!

Time rewinds to one hour ago.

The yacht carrying Chu Xiaoxiao and her group was sailing back, bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

The helm was manned by a middle-aged captain who had worked for the Chu family for over a decade. However, his gaze was flickering, glancing toward the radar in the control room from time to time.

"Beep! Beep!" A prompt sounded from the radar as a light dot appeared on the edge of the screen, then charged straight toward the center.

The captain's face changed. Gritting his teeth, he silently steered the yacht, changing course to head toward the light dot.

At this time, Chu Xiaoxiao's personal female bodyguard was patrolling the yacht, checking on the security work of her subordinates.

Her name was Ye Min. She was a bodyguard from Longquan Security Company and had previously served in the Min Province Women's Special Police Force. She was proficient in combat, marksmanship, and protecting high-value targets, later being recruited by Longquan Security Company to serve as a security consultant.

This time, she had been hired at a high price by Chu Group to personally serve as the captain of the security detail, protecting Chu Xiaoxiao at close range.

"Hm?" Ye Min suddenly paused, clearly sensing that the yacht had made a significant turn.

Logically speaking, there were no chaotic traffic routes on the open sea. Once the destination was confirmed, one only needed to sail straight toward the port. There were no other ships nearby to avoid, so there was no need for such a sharp turn.

She looked toward the bow. On the pitch-black sea, there was a faint roar of motors, seemingly drawing closer.

Ye Min was highly vigilant and felt that something was wrong, so she immediately headed to the control room to check the situation.

She arrived at the control room and reached out to open the door, then her expression changed. "It's locked from the inside!"

"Bang! Bang!" She knocked hard on the door. "Captain Wei! Are you in there?! Why did you lock the door?"

The room was silent...

"Damn it!" Ye Min immediately realized something was wrong, but it was already a bit too late.

"Bang! Bang!" "Ah!" The sound of automatic rifle fire and screams rang out from outside.

"Damn it!" Ye Min immediately drew the pistol from her waist and rushed toward Chu Xiaoxiao's bedroom.

In an instant, the sound of gunfire erupted across the yacht.

Ten minutes later, a cold-faced man draped in ammunition belts and holding an AK47 assault rifle stepped onto the now-miserable-looking yacht, surrounded by seven or eight armed men.

The yacht no longer possessed its former elegance and refinement; it was riddled with bullet holes, broken glass shards were scattered everywhere, and some parts of the hull had even been blown open by heavy weapons.

"What's the situation?" the cold-faced man asked in Annamese.

A subordinate immediately stepped forward to report: "Boss, there were eight bodyguards in total. Except for the leader and the target who are hiding in the core cabin, the rest have been dealt with. Everyone else on the ship, except for the captain, has also been handled!"

The surrounding mercenaries looked indifferent, as if killing a few people was as simple as eating or drinking to them.

"Hm? Why haven't you captured the target yet?" the cold-faced man asked.

"The lead female bodyguard is very alert and skilled. As soon as we made our move, she wounded one of our brothers and took the target into the core cabin. The walls and doors there are specially reinforced with bulletproof steel plates; it will take some time to break in!

But don't worry, Boss, there are two brothers watching the door to the target's location. They can't escape!"

"Hm!" The cold-faced man nodded in acknowledgment, then looked with disdain at the speedboat they had arrived on, shouting in broken Chinese: "Feng! You can come out now, it's safe here!"

A figure emerged from the speedboat, seemingly surveying the ship for a moment before cautiously walking up to the cold-faced man. This person was none other than Feng Ge from Riyao Group!

"Captain Ruan, is it all resolved?" Feng Ge asked with some excitement.

"There is still one rat left, hiding in the core cabin with the target. But don't worry, it will only take a little time to capture the target."

"Good! That's excellent! Captain Ruan, please capture the target as soon as possible. I will notify our young master to come over right away!"

"I'm afraid that won't work for now. We have activated an electronic jamming device. Until the rat inside is flushed out, we need to maintain a communications blackout to prevent any news from leaking!"

"I see. Alright, then I will wait a little longer. Captain Ruan, please capture the target as soon as possible!"

The cold-faced Captain Ruan gave an order to his men, and soon a subordinate brought over the trembling Captain Wei. Captain Wei had just witnessed these Annamese mercenaries killing people and was already scared out of his wits. Seeing Feng Ge beside Captain Ruan, he immediately looked as if he had found a relative.

"Feng Ge! I've finally seen you. You must ensure my safety!" Captain Wei shouted, shivering.

"Don't worry, Old Wei. As long as you cooperate obediently, not only will your son be safe and sound, but when this is over, I will arrange for your whole family to enjoy your old age in the Kangaroo Country!"

"Yes, yes, I will definitely cooperate, definitely!" Captain Wei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Very well. Let me ask you, can you open the door to the core cabin?" Captain Ruan nodded and asked.

"This... if it's locked from the inside, there's no way to open it from the outside. That cabin was originally built as a shelter to protect important people. It's fitted with 3cm steel plates, enough to handle most situations and let the people inside wait for rescue."

"Boss, should I use high explosives to blow the door open?" a subordinate asked, stepping forward.

"No, using explosives is likely to kill the people inside. We want a live, unharmed captive! Go to the ship and get the tools; cut the door open for me!"

"Yes!" Two mercenaries immediately nodded and left.

"As for the rest of you, except for those left to guard the target to prevent her from escaping, the rest of you, search this yacht from top to bottom! Don't leave anything valuable behind!" Captain Ruan ordered again.

"Yahoo!" The remaining mercenaries cheered and scattered to loot.

According to their custom, most of the extra loot found during such missions could be kept for themselves.

Feng Ge dared not voice any objections to this; facing this group of cold-blooded mercenaries, he had to be extremely careful.

A group of mercenaries scurried through the yacht, stuffing anything valuable they could find into their backpacks; the luxury vessel was being ravaged for the second time, leaving a trail of wreckage everywhere.

"Hey, brothers, there's a safe here! There's definitely something good inside. Go find that captain; he must be able to open it!" Someone discovered the safe on the ship and called others over to help.

Believe it or not, Captain Wei actually had the spare key, and the safe was opened in no time. The mercenaries discovered that there was nothing inside except for a silver-white box, which was secured with nine separate locks!

The sight of the chains wrapped densely around the box made the mercenaries' eyelids twitch.

"Good stuff, this is definitely good stuff!" The mercenaries were overjoyed. If it wasn't something valuable, would it be vicious enough to require so many locks?

They quickly fetched a fire axe and brought it down with a heavy swing, but the box remained completely unscathed; instead, the mercenary who swung the axe was left with a numb arm.

"It's so sturdy! This has to be at least special-grade steel! There must be something incredible inside!" The mercenaries were all getting excited.

They weren't afraid of it being sturdy; the sturdier it was, the more valuable the contents must be!

Next, they began trying various methods to open the box. Fearing they might destroy the priceless treasure inside, they didn't dare use high-powered explosives, and as a result, they achieved nothing beyond leaving a few white marks on the surface.

Eventually, even their leader, Captain Ruan, heard about the matter. Looking at the box, the group of mercenaries exchanged confused glances.

"What's the deal with this box?" Captain Ruan looked toward Captain Wei.

"It seems this is something Eldest Miss Chu received from a mysterious person today. It appears to contain something very precious; she handled it entirely by herself the whole time, and even her personal bodyguard was kept far away," Captain Wei said honestly.

"Oh!" Captain Ruan's eyes lit up as he listened. It seemed this mission had brought an unexpected windfall!

While they were rejoicing, believing they had intercepted a treasure, Nie Yun simultaneously received a message from the Mechanical Insect inside the box.

"Boss, someone is trying to mess with your fleet!!"

The moment Nie Yun received the message.

Nie Yun??

Nie Yun!!!

A vein throbbed on Nie Yun's forehead.

He was furious!
