Chen Hao had just entered the hall and said he had contacted people on the ship when staff took him away. There were many family members nearby, and he had seen the man in sunglasses at the time, which meant he was also a family member.

He was feeling anxious, thinking that it was just a matter of asking for information, and it wouldn't be enough to do anything to him. Besides, he had been kept hidden and had already said everything he knew. What else could this person want?

"Brother, are your parents or your lover on the ship?" Chen Hao wanted to break the heart-wrenching silence and also probe the other party's background.

The man in sunglasses glanced at him: "Neither."

Chen Hao was stunned. Neither?

"You don't have any family on the ship?"

"No."

Chen Hao's scalp tingled. What was this person up to? If he wasn't a family member, what was he doing causing trouble? If his own family wasn't missing, why was he so concerned about where the ship was?

The more Chen Hao thought about it, the more wrong it felt. He looked at the direction the car was heading and, steeling himself, spoke again, "Brother, I've said everything I know. Can you let me get out of the car first?"

"What's the rush? Sit there." The man's voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely intimidating. Chen Hao didn't dare to move again.

"It's not that, brother, what else do you want? Can you just tell me straight?" Chen Hao was going all in.

The man turned his head to look at him, threw the crushed walnut into the trash bag, and finally spoke, "Tell me about the phone call again. I'm talking about the situation, not just the content. When you answered the phone, what other sounds did you hear besides the voices? Be as detailed as possible."

Although Chen Hao was speechless, he didn't dare not answer: "At the time, the daughter who answered the phone was very excited. There was wind noise in the microphone, and the sound of waves."

"What time did you talk?"

"Around 5 pm."

The man said to the bodyguard in front, "Check the tidal water level and wave height."

The bodyguard pressed the central control panel, and the privacy glass in the driver's position lowered. Only then did Chen Hao realize that the front row of this car was different. The central control panel was covered with dense buttons, the armrest had an exquisite desktop computer, and the soundproof barrier was extreme. If they pulled down all the barriers, he felt that even if something happened to him here, no one outside would know.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but shudder again.

"Boss, light waves within 1 meter. Northwest direction."

The man's eyebrows furrowed, and he glanced at Chen Hao: "Keep talking!"

Chen Hao didn't dare to breathe loudly and quickly said, "The woman who answered the phone couldn't explain the situation there. She just said there were birds in the sky, a lot of reefs, and then the line was cut off."

"There are birds." The man sat up straight, looked up and pondered for several seconds, slowly chanting "birds, birds, birds" in his mouth.

Suddenly, he lowered his head and looked at Chen Hao's face from the upper edge of his sunglasses.

Chen Hao also looked at him, and only then did he see the eyes behind the sunglasses, a pair of genuine sanpaku eyes, with a fierce glint. (Sanpaku eyes: where the white of the eye is visible below the iris)

"Imitate the sound of the waves."

Chen Hao was stunned: "The sound of waves?"

He thought he had misheard. How could he imitate that sound? Aren't all wave sounds the same?

The man in sunglasses changed his attitude and grabbed Chen Hao's hair: "I told you to imitate, are you deaf?"

Chen Hao didn't expect the other party to turn hostile so quickly and quickly said, "I, I, I'll imitate."

"Think carefully before you imitate." The man released his hair.

Chen Hao felt his breathing quicken. He tried hard to recall. Fortunately, his memory was good, and he really remembered it. He took a deep breath and imitated the sound of the waves with a look of grievance.

"Whoosh—splash—pat, pat, pat," Chen Hao closed his eyes and tried to imitate the sound of the waves.

The man listened for a while and suddenly said, "Reef! There are large gaps, many shellfish, and the upper layer of the reef is relatively flat." After speaking, he took off his sunglasses, took a deep breath, and suddenly opened his eyes and smiled at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao only felt his hair stand on end. He really didn't know what this man was going to do to him. He was extremely nervous and suddenly started breathing desperately with his mouth open, clutching his throat with both hands.

These were symptoms of asthma. He desperately pulled open his bag, trying to find his asthma inhaler, but because his hands were shaking, he couldn't find it.

The man slowly took the medicine out of his bag: "Want it?"

Chen Hao nodded. The feeling of not being able to breathe was too uncomfortable.

The man twitched the corner of his mouth and handed him the medicine: "Remember, you owe me a life."

Chen Hao didn't care what the other party was saying. He took the medicine and sprayed it desperately. After a while, he felt his breathing finally smooth out, and he had finally saved his life.

"Brother, I've told you everything I know. I have asthma, so I won't disturb you any longer. Please let me out of the car." Chen Hao was really scared. If that man hadn't given him the medicine just now, he might have died in this car tonight.

"Not so fast." After the man finished speaking, he took out a stack of money from the armrest.

Chen Hao didn't know what he meant and didn't dare to speak.

The man in sunglasses threw the money on Chen Hao's lap and said, "This is your wages for tonight, and it also includes your hush money. Remember, you can't tell anyone else about anything said or done in this car today. Otherwise, this money will be your life-buying money."

Chen Hao didn't think this was an exaggeration at all. He obediently nodded repeatedly, tremblingly reached out and took the stack of money and put it in his bag.

The car suddenly stopped, and as soon as the door opened, Chen Hao quickly jumped out. Watching the car drive away, he quickly ran in the opposite direction. Even though his legs were too weak to stand still, he still struggled to run as far as he could.

In the car, the man in sunglasses dialed a phone number. He had basically locked down the specific location of Anna's ship based on Chen Hao's description.

The person on the other end of the phone asked him if the location he had just deduced was accurate. The man lit a cigarette, the bodyguard lit it for him, and he took a puff, exhaling a cloud of white smoke: "Eighty or ninety percent accurate. Set off immediately and get the goods out before the police arrive."

After hanging up the phone, the man leaned against the leather sofa, recalling the sea area. Having made a living at sea for so many years, he was extremely familiar with the nearby waters. Almost every reef's location and shape was in his head. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a living map.

He had Chen Hao recall and imitate the sound of the waves because he needed to judge the relationship between the waves and the reefs from the sound. First, there was the sound of the waves surging, followed by a heavy sound of impacting an empty cavity. This indicated that the location of the phone call was near the gap between two huge reefs. When the waves passed through this large gap, the squeezed flow rate increased, and the impact force naturally became larger, making the sound also become louder.

And the final whooshing sound was the sound of the waves being pushed into the sky by the rocks, disintegrating in the air, and pattering down like raindrops. This indicated that the rocks had to be towering to be able to lift the waves so high, and the reefs also had to have a relatively large plane structure on top. Otherwise, when forming "raindrops," there wouldn't be enough area to create the sound of pattering.

In the man in sunglasses's memory, there weren't many reef structures that met these conditions. Finally, Chen Hao mentioned seabirds, which immediately made him realize that where there were many birds, there was plenty of food. And this kind of reef island rich in shellfish, in that location nearby, there was only one.

So he immediately locked down Anna's current location.
