I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 761: Hope to Honor the Promise

"So you mean to say, he does his thing, you do yours—is that it?"

"No, that's not what I mean. It's clear he does his thing, but it's impossible for me to do mine. If I let him find out about this matter, then he would definitely kill me. So, I beg you, you must keep this a secret for me, okay?"

"Don't worry. Since you've told me so much, I'll certainly keep your secret. Also, I wanted to ask about something vital today. I heard that he has the Four Great Masters by his side, right?"

"Yes, that's right. I was just about to tell you about this. That night, you didn't see the Four Great Masters. If they had been there, you certainly wouldn't have been able to get away so easily, you might not even have been able to leave that room at all."

"What, are the Four Great Masters really that incredible? How come I didn't know there were such formidable characters around him?"

"But, you really don't know. Let me tell you, all of the Four Great Masters came down from the mountain. It's said they've practiced martial arts on the mountain since they were young, probably staying there for over 20 years. Each one has their own unique secret techniques."

"Where do these Four Great Masters usually stay? And why didn't he bring them with him this time when he went out to have fun?"

"The Four Great Masters can be described as his trump card. Under normal circumstances, they would absolutely not appear so casually. They're only worshipped by him in the fruit market."

"What? You mean to say, the Four Great Masters are in the fruit market?"

"Right in that fruit market, at the very top, there's a two-story building. Usually, he conducts his business there. Below that small building is where the Four Great Masters stay."

"So you mean the Four Great Masters aren't out in the open but are actually hidden in the space below?"

"Yes, they are there all year round, and they can go out under normal identities, but as soon as there's a task, they'll immediately come back to follow his arrangements."

"That's not right. What kind of charisma does this Brother Shui have, to make the Four Great Masters so fiercely protect him all these years? Could it be because he pays them a lot? So, is it like the saying, 'with a generous bounty comes the courage of a warrior'?"

"No, I'm not entirely clear about the specific connection between them, but what I do know is that it's a relationship of mutual dependence and balance. So, all these years, it has been very stable, never truly collapsing."

"That is to say, for you, these Four Great Masters are just a rumor, and you haven't actually seen them."

"I've never seen them, and this person is very cautious. Many people by his side don't even know their true faces; they only know that these four individuals indeed exist by his side and could be summoned by him at any moment."

"Okay, I got it."

At this point, Ye Chen just nodded. In fact, he didn't feel that the woman had uncovered too much.

There was only some information, and they basically confirmed each other once more. Aside from that, there was no new information.

"Oh, I just remembered something."

Just as Ye Chen was about to stand up and leave, he suddenly heard the woman say something, and then Ye Chen stopped right there.

"What is it? Remembered something?"

"Did you notice that Brother Shui wore a very special ring on his finger?"

"A ring?"

After stopping, Ye Chen just frowned a little; he didn't have a very clear memory of this matter.

At that time, he was in the midst of chaos, rescuing Anying, and he didn't pay attention to what was on his fingers.

"No, I didn't notice that. What about it, is there something special about the ring?"

"Before, I seemed to have heard him say by chance that there's a transmitter on the ring. As long as he twists the transmitter on the ring, the message will quickly get delivered underground, and then the Four Great Masters will know that he's in danger."

"So you're saying, it's essentially an alarm, right?"

"It should be, but I can't be certain if it's really like that. The only thing I can definitely confirm is that the ring is always on him, even when sleeping or bathing, he always wears it on his hand."

After hearing this, Ye Chen nodded. Perhaps that night, in his haste to save someone, he didn't pay attention to this detail. Maybe there really was such a transmitter on his hand.

"Okay, I got it. Alright, you should also hurry up and pack up. As for the person left inside, think it over yourself. Besides, Brother Shui will probably be surrounded by these affairs the next few days, so for the time being, you should be quite safe here."

"Thank you. I also hope that you will honor your promise."

The woman suddenly stood up straight and then cautiously said this to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded, not saying much, and turned to leave the place.

The time he spent there wasn't very long, but he felt that he had indeed gained a lot, at least the immediate crisis had been successfully resolved.

Now that the matters here were settled, Ye Chen needed to rush back to the company to see what had happened with Guo Hongyu.

In a hurry, he took a taxi to the company. As soon as he entered the lobby, Ye Chen saw Anying waiting for him there.

"You finally arrived. I couldn't reach you by phone, but I saw on your travel route that you were heading towards the company, so I started waiting for you here."

"Oh, I had something urgent to attend to and turned off my phone. What's up, is there something urgent?"

Before, Guo Hongyu had been anxiously looking for him, and now Anying was too. He really didn't know how big of a matter had occurred at the company.

"Did you know? The executives have started making moves. They're saying they want to unite and kick you out of the company."
