I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 803: Unable to Open a New Route

"By the way, Shui Ge, you've been constantly asking if Ye Chen has contacted you. Who is he, really? And do you have any grudges with these people?"

Wen Hong was intentionally probing for information.

After all, Wen Hong had never encountered such a situation before, and if he were to rely solely on one-sided words, he wouldn't necessarily understand so much.

"Let me tell you, Ye Chen is likely going to be a roadblock in our business in the future."

"Ah, Shui Ge, why? Didn't they say we've been sailing smoothly for so many years? According to what was just said, no one should be able to get past this point."

"But it's exactly because things have been too peaceful before. Now, with the Guo Group undergoing a massive overhaul, they're trying to unearth some things. Unexpectedly, after Ye Chen came, he discovered our smuggling operations."

"If that's the case, does that mean we really can't use this place anymore?"

"That's why I'm thinking of any possible way to eliminate Ye Chen. Only by kicking him out can I continue this business safely." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"If someone deliberately lets Ye Chen investigate this matter, even if Ye Chen leaves, won't this route still be shut down for us? Is that what you mean?"

"Everything depends on our actions. For now, we can only remove as much as we can, step by step; we can't do everything at once."

"Shui Ge, do you think there's anything else I should do?"

"There's nothing else needed from you for now. Just keep maintaining contact with the overseas supplies. I can't connect the goods; that part has to be up to you. For the rest, you don't have to think too much. If this route really doesn't work, we'll just open another one."

"Shui Ge, do you really think it's that easy to open a new route? We've stabilized and are very familiar with this one. If we open another, it will definitely require a massive investment of resources and money."

"I know that too, but given the current situation, we have no other choice. So, we just have to accept it."

"Alright, Shui Ge, I understand. We'll stay in touch if anything comes up. Be careful. If you're planning to deal with him, I believe he'll definitely find a way to deal with you."

"Heh, dealing with me won't be that easy. I know he's got some skills, but they don't pose any threat to me. Don't worry about this, I'll keep you posted if anything changes."

After saying that, Shui Ge hung up the phone, not expecting that he had indeed guessed wrong.

Although Ye Chen appeared there, he didn't find Wen Hong. If they can't find Wen Hong, maybe things might ease up a bit.

However, this call did remind Wen Hong that their business would be extremely difficult going forward.

As Shui Ge said, even if Ye Chen is removed, the Guo Group will have a second Ye Chen, a third one, continuously emerging to pursue this lead.

In the past, getting rid of one or two people was incredibly simple. They'd just cut them in a bit, offer some benefits, and they'd pretend nothing ever happened, turning a blind eye.

But Ye Chen's sudden arrival may stir up the waters completely.

It was already late at night, so Ye Chen didn't see the need to return to the company, given he hadn't seen Lin Yaru for two consecutive days.

Although Lin Yaru must have already been resting at this hour, at least he thought he could see her the next morning.

Upon returning to his place, Ye Chen quietly opened the door; it was pitch black inside. Fumbling in the dark, he took out his phone and turned on the flashlight.

He quietly headed towards the second floor, but passing by Anying's room, he noticed that the light was on.

Curious, he stopped at the door because he knew Anying had a regular sleeping pattern and wouldn't leave the light on if she were resting.

Since the light was on now, it meant Anying wasn't resting yet.

He walked over and gently knocked on the door.

Anying came over quickly and opened the door, expecting it to be Lin Yaru, but was surprised to see Ye Chen.

"Why are you back at this hour? Didn't you say you were going back to the company today?"

"No, I rushed back as soon as I finished my business to see what's happening. Why aren't you resting?"

"I was just about to rest, but suddenly there was a signal alert, so I quickly got up and have been monitoring it."

"What signal alert? What signal? What do you mean?"

"It's Captain Yang, remember? You told me to keep a close watch on him. After leaving the company, he stayed at a nearby noodle shop for a long time. But just now, he left the restaurant and headed in the opposite direction of his home."

As they spoke, Ye Chen curiously entered Anying's room.

He saw a computer on the desk, indicating Anying was already working.

Ye Chen noticed it looked like a map on the screen, with a red dot blinking and moving slowly.

"Where's this place?"

"He's heading in the opposite direction now, and there should be a factory nearby. I quickly checked, and he seems to be on a bike or running fast, definitely not in a vehicle."
