Two armed members of the Gustaf family on the rear deck found nothing. As the two cursed and prepared to leave, Ling Tian suddenly attacked, his fingers striking their bodies. A sharp internal force easily pierced their bulletproof vests.
Ling Tian's attack directly hit their sleeping points. These two instantly lost consciousness as the internal force permeated their acupoints. By the time the internal force dissipated and they woke up, it would likely be 10 hours later.
Moreover, the sleeping points directly affected the central nervous system. This meant that even if there was thunder outside, it would be difficult to wake them from their slumber.
Having dealt with these two, Ling Tian and A'li entered the cabin through the door they had emerged from. They slapped invisibility talismans onto themselves and swaggered through the ship, their traces undiscoverable.
As Ling Tian walked, he used his Heavenly Eye divine ability, releasing his mental power outwards to search for Wang Qingtian's whereabouts throughout the ship.
Soon, he found his target. In the very center of the ship, near the engine room, was a small cabin. This cabin was only a few square meters and was used for engine room crew rest. It contained nothing but a small bed and a small table.
Wang Qingtian was lying on this small bed, handcuffed, motionless. It appeared he had been injected with something like a sedative.
Outside the small room, two guards sat by the door, armed and alert.
Along the path leading to that small room, there were also many guards, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
Ling Tian and A'li walked past them casually. Their footsteps were silent, and they wore invisibility talismans, so these people didn't sense anything unusual.
The two arrived near the cabin where Wang Qingtian was being held. Ling Tian pointed at the cabin and transmitted his voice, "A'li, I'll cut the power to the nearby surveillance. The rest is up to you."
"Don't worry, meow!"
Ling Tian used his Heavenly Eye divine ability to inspect the ship's cabin again. This time, Ling Tian's target was the ship's wiring. Several wires extended from the room where Wang Qingtian was held.
The ship's various circuits were winding and complex. Ling Tian traced the wires and discovered that they all led to a small equipment room dozens of meters away.
Ling Tian directly entered the room and found that many circuits converged there.
Ling Tian sneered and took out a Thunder Talisman.
The function of this talisman was to discharge electricity. Being hit by this talisman would instantly paralyze a person.
If a weak person were hit by this talisman, they could also be killed on the spot. Essentially, the effect of this talisman was a long-range, powerful stun gun.
Ling Tian first extended his hand, releasing fire-attribute true essence. A layer of flame covered Ling Tian's hand, and then he swept it over the wire bundles. The insulating layers on the surface of the wire bundles were all burned away, exposing the wires within.
Ling Tian directly threw the talisman onto the tangled wire bundles.
"Sizzle!"
Almost instantaneously, over a million volts of high voltage entered the ship's electrical system. In an instant, the lights and appliances throughout the ship dimmed, and all surveillance screens went black!
In this moment of darkness, A'li immediately arrived at the cabin where Wang Qingtian was held. She took out a Star-Fixing Disk from her storage space, the one shaped like a yin-yang fish, and tied it to Wang Qingtian's neck with a red string.
The next moment, A'li activated a spatial portal. A spatial ripple appeared in the room. A'li grabbed Wang Qingtian and threw him directly into it.
Immediately after, A'li also disappeared from the room.
A few seconds later, faint lights flickered on as the ship's backup circuits began to operate.
In fact, ocean-going cargo ships have two sets of electrical systems to ensure that if one fails, the other can still work.
After all, any mechanical failure on a ship in the vast sea could be fatal!
"Crack!"
The door to Wang Qingtian's cabin was roughly opened. Two guards rushed in with weapons. The scene before them immediately stunned them.
"Oh no, the target is missing!"
Hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie, the man named Wood was instantly dumbfounded.
"Quick, seal all cabins leading to the deck! They are still on the ship. Dig them out even if you have to turn the place upside down!"
Wood roared hysterically.
Following this, everyone on the ship was mobilized. They began to repair the circuits and then launched a comprehensive search. Even the bottom of the ship, as well as the ship's massive fuel and water tanks, were meticulously searched. However, they couldn't even find a trace of Wang Qingtian.
At this time, Ling Tian's albatross had already flown towards Wen Gehua.
The next day, Wang Qingtian's lawyer arrived and requested to see him. The people at Victoria Island Prison then realized something was wrong. After layers of verification, they discovered that the materials used by those people to take Wang Qingtian away yesterday were actually forged.
Their superiors, however, were evasive about the matter, clearly intending not to take responsibility.
A living person was taken away from prison like this, with many relevant individuals involved. The impact would be extremely negative.
Therefore, the embassy lodged a stern protest with the Maple Leaf Country, which threw them into a panic.
The current China was not like the past, only capable of protests. China was now very powerful, capable of imposing economic sanctions at any moment. The direct consequence of this was that capitalists in the Maple Leaf Country would replace their leadership.
As a result, several individuals from relevant departments in the Maple Leaf Country were dismissed and even prosecuted for dereliction of duty.
This was not the end. Soon, the media exposed the relationship between these individuals and the Gustaf family, and even some of their unsavory transactions were revealed.
These individuals had very close ties to the Gustaf family. Their capture had a significant adverse impact on the Gustaf family's plans and interests in the Maple Leaf Country.
Ultimately, the Maple Leaf Country announced Wang Qingtian's innocence. It was a thankless task for them anyway, and those still associated with the Gustaf family no longer dared to adopt a tough stance, especially after a group had just been arrested. The precedent was clear.
A few days later, Aurora's private jet landed at the airport in Beijing, China. Wang Bingxia was waiting at the airport. Seeing Wang Qingtian descending the mobile stairs, the father and daughter embraced tightly, weeping.
