The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert-Chapter 1372 - 1680: Setting Out to Sea

Back at Falcon Private Security Company, Dong Ying was already waiting for Ling Chen’s return. Sitting in the chairman’s office, Dong Ying handed a piece of information to Ling Chen and said, "This is the time and location. Chairman, I’ve already arranged the plane, we can depart at any time."

"Great, thanks for your hard work. You can go handle other things now." After Dong Ying left, Ling Chen picked up the information in his hand and looked it over.

Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, depart from Jin Hai City’s port.

Plenty of time left! Ling Chen smiled slightly, as long as they find that island, there’ll be a chance to catch the Southern Ling Family all at once.

After getting prepared, Ling Chen, Ling Kun, and Ling Tao flew directly to Jin Hai City. By four in the afternoon, they arrived at the hotel where they were staying.

As they entered the hotel lobby, two people quickly approached from the sofa—Hu Fei and Kaelina. East Sea City is relatively close to Jin Hai City, so Hu Fei and the others arrived in advance.

In the hotel’s presidential suite, the eight peculiar people and Chen Junfeng were all present. For this operation, Ling Chen virtually deployed everyone. There’s no choice—the opponent is the Southern Ling Family, and according to the information from Ling Kun, the Southern Ling Family has at least two Heavenly List experts stationed. Therefore, for safety’s sake, they had to bring enough personnel for this operation.

After resting for a night in the hotel, the next morning Ling Chen, accompanied by Ling Kun, arrived at Jin Hai City’s port, waiting for that ship to appear.

At eight o’clock, a cargo ship slowly approached the port. Noticing the ship’s number, Ling Chen immediately identified it as the cargo ship coming to pick up Li Bin.

As the cargo ship docked at the port side, several middle-aged men walked down from the deck. Meanwhile, several loading vehicles slowly drove over, preparing to transport goods onto the ship. Ling Chen and Ling Kun hid aside, observing carefully. Next to the boarding area, two men were stationed there, counting the personnel and goods boarding the ship.

As the time approached, Ling Chen picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered, "You can move now."

Just as Ling Chen issued the action command, a team of over ten people in the sea gradually approached the bottom of the cargo ship. Once they reached the back of the ship, Yuan Yun, who was the first to surface, took out a grapple hook and threw it upwards forcefully. The hook was immediately secured on the ship’s side. Following the rope hanging from below the hook, they climbed onto the cargo ship one by one.

"Ling Cheng, we’re all on board." Hearing Yuan Yun’s voice from the walkie-talkie, Ling Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the main team is aboard, everything else would be manageable.

By eight forty-five, all the goods had been loaded onto the ship. A few middle-aged men stood at the boarding entrance, persistently watching the time, their expressions showing a hint of impatience. After a while, one of the middle-aged men took out his phone and dialed a number.

Meanwhile, a vibrating sound came from Ling Chen’s pocket. Taking out the phone and seeing the displayed number, Ling Chen did not answer but directly hung up. The phone belonged to Li Bin, kept with Ling Chen as a precaution.

"Dad, you can send him now."

Not far from Ling Chen, Ling Kun held Li Bin in check and said coldly, "If you’re smart, you’ll know what to do. Remember, don’t play tricks; the poison I gave you can only be cured by me. Got it?"

Li Bin nodded obediently. At this point, he dared not entertain any thoughts of resistance. Otherwise, he would have no other path but death.

"Go on."

Seeing Li Bin appear at the boarding entrance, Ling Chen couldn’t help but tense up. There’s no choice; to avoid arousing suspicion from the opponent, they had to let Li Bin show himself. Luckily, Li Bin was equipped with a listening device, allowing Ling Chen to hear every word they exchanged.

After meeting, those middle-aged men merely grumbled a few complaints, blaming Li Bin for being late. Watching them board the cargo ship, Ling Chen immediately shifted, running towards the edge of the port. Then, he leapt into the sea.

Finding an unattended spot, Ling Chen took out two suction cups from his body, adhered them to the surface of the ship, and slowly climbed up. Before long, he successfully reached the cargo ship.

Since it was a cargo ship, the deck was piled with many containers. Ling Chen maneuvered between the gaps in the containers, searching for a concealed spot.

"Dad, how are things on your side?"

"Don’t worry about me, I’ve already found a spot."

"Good." After ending the call, Ling Chen slowly exhaled, finally calming his anxious heart. Now that everyone was safely aboard, all they needed was for the cargo ship to reach the destination, and then unleash havoc.

Without realizing it, the sky gradually darkened. Ling Chen checked his watch; it was already evening. The cargo ship had been sailing on the sea for nearly ten hours, with no idea how much longer till the destination. Fortunately, everyone was well-prepared, with ample water and food. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The crew on the cargo ship wasn’t large, only about twenty people, half of whom were security personnel. Roughly every hour, these security personnel would patrol around, checking for any unusual occurrences.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ling Chen closed his eyes to recharge. After a few more hours, nearing midnight, Ling Chen noticed the cargo ship’s speed gradually decreasing.

Arrived?

Ling Chen abruptly stood up, climbed to the top of the container, gazing into the distance. Given it was night, the light was weak; Ling Chen could barely discern a blurry silhouette in the distance.

Strange, why did the cargo ship stop here?

While pondering, Ling Chen, with his keen ears, suddenly heard the sound of engines coming from the sea. It’s inflatable boats! Three inflatable boats!

Ling Chen glanced around and noticed from the splashing water that all three inflatable boats were speeding towards the silhouette direction. In a blink, they reached around the cargo ship.

What are they up to? Ling Chen was startled. As he mulled over, he saw all the personnel aboard the cargo ship walking out from the cabin, gathering on the deck, smoking and chatting as if they didn’t find anything unusual.

Soon, all personnel on the three inflatable boats boarded the cargo ship. Ling Chen glanced secretly, seeing that about twenty fully armed people had come aboard.

Once on board, the armed personnel first did a thorough ID check of the sailors on deck; only after ensuring everything was correct did they start searching the entire cargo ship.

Damn!

Ling Chen cursed silently, the Southern Ling Family is really cautious, halting the cargo ship at sea for inspection, ensuring no suspicious personnel enter the island. This is bad! I hope my elder brothers won’t be discovered. Ling Chen worried, as they had hidden twenty-plus people aboard this cargo ship.

Just then, rapid footsteps suddenly approached Ling Chen’s location.
