"Hmph..."
Listening to the beeping sound from the receiver, Chu Wansong exhaled a heavy breath, forcing himself to calm down.
He was able to become the leader of the Green Character Gang, so he was naturally not a reckless brute and knew the importance of not rushing into things.
If it weren't for the fact that this matter involved the safety of his daughter, Chu Weiyang, he would never have lost his composure!
"Wu Ming, I'll talk to you later. I need to call that scumbag Huang Xiong first."
After calming down, Chu Wansong said to Jiang Wu Ming with a solemn expression, then dialed Huang Xiong's number.
Obviously, he could guess with his toes that Huang Xiong must have orchestrated tonight's events, with the aim of taking his and Jiang Wu Ming's lives, thereby regaining control after the merger of the Green and Hong gangs!
However—
After Chu Wansong dialed the number, he found that Huang Xiong's phone was turned off.
"Uncle Chu, I'll accompany you to save Weiyang."
Seeing that Chu Wansong couldn't contact Huang Xiong, Jiang Wu Ming spoke up first.
"No!"
Chu Wansong flatly refused, "This is clearly a trap set by Huang Xiong, aimed at taking both our lives! Weiyang is my daughter. Even if I know that saving her is a near-certain death, I must go. But you can't, you must live!"
"Uncle Chu, you said you treat me as family. Weiyang is your daughter, and she is also my sister. It's only natural for a brother to save his sister. How can I not go?"
Jiang Wu Ming stared at Chu Wansong and said word by word.
Chu Wansong's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He was filled with emotion and opened his mouth, "But..."
"Uncle Chu, they specifically asked for both of us to go. If one of us is missing, sister Weiyang's life will be in danger."
Jiang Wu Ming seemed to know what Chu Wansong was going to say and interrupted him directly. "As for my safety...
Uncle Chu, before my life-or-death battle with Tiger, I promised you that I would win this battle.
Now, I promise you again that I will definitely save sister Weiyang safely. Do you believe me?"
This time, Chu Wansong did not speak, but looked at Jiang Wu Ming with astonishment, and finally nodded gently.
Chu Wansong was not a sentimental person. After choosing to believe Jiang Wu Ming, he immediately set off, and at the same time asked Chu Feng and Huangfu Weixia to return to Donghai overnight.
...
An hour and a half later, Jiang Wu Ming and Chu Wansong arrived at Nangang.
As soon as they passed the Nangang checkpoint, Chu Wansong received the mysterious call again. The other party stated that Chu Wansong was very punctual and also told him the location.
Neither Jiang Wu Ming nor Chu Wansong were surprised by this.
Chu Wansong's phone remained turned on, and the other party could track Chu Wansong's whereabouts through mobile phone positioning at any time.
Half an hour later, Jiang Wu Ming and Chu Wansong arrived at the seaside designated by the other party. After getting out of the car, they saw a yacht parked by the quiet seaside. The yacht was not activated and was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult for ordinary people to see.
"Ding—"
At this moment, Chu Wansong's phone rang again with a text message: Get on the yacht, my people will take you to see your daughter.
"Wu Ming, they want us to get on the yacht."
After reading the message, Chu Wansong looked at Jiang Wu Ming.
"It seems they want to settle this in international waters."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wu Ming narrowed his eyes and stared at the yacht. "That's good, we can just throw them into the sea to feed the fish, it's more convenient."
Huh?
Hearing Jiang Wu Ming's words and feeling the confidence in his tone, Chu Wansong's worry gradually diminished, replaced by confusion.
He didn't know where Jiang Wu Ming's confidence came from, but he didn't ask further. Instead, he took Jiang Wu Ming and moved towards the yacht.
"Get on board."
On the yacht, a man in a ninja outfit walked out of the cabin as Jiang Wu Ming and Chu Wansong approached. He spoke in the Dragon Kingdom's language, but his pronunciation was very stiff.
Ninja!
With just one glance, Jiang Wu Ming and Chu Wansong judged that the other party was from the Ninja Kingdom and was a ninja. However, they said nothing and leaped onto the yacht.
The ninja looked a little surprised.
Because, according to his judgment, the other party would definitely contact the hostage before boarding the yacht to confirm the hostage's safety—he had already prepared to make the call, but Jiang Wu Ming and Chu Wansong did not make this request!
With a hint of confusion, the ninja started the yacht and sailed towards the distant sea.
Five minutes later, after the yacht had moved away from the coastline, the ninja dialed Sato No's satellite phone.
"Sir, I have picked them up. There are no unusual movements behind them. I can confirm that no one is following."
The call was quickly connected, and the black-clothed ninja respectfully reported to Sato No on the other end of the phone.
"Good."
Sato No was relieved upon hearing this.
His only concern for tonight's operation was the intervention of the Dragon Kingdom's Martial Department.
As for the four-star War God behind Chu Wansong...
According to the information he had, that person was currently in the Dark City and could not spare even a fraction of his attention, let alone help Chu Wansong!
"Sir, after they boarded the yacht, they did not request to speak with the hostage."
The black-clothed ninja said, glancing at Jiang Wu Ming and Chu Wansong.
"They are smart people and know that if I were to harm the hostage, I could do so after they boarded the yacht. Tell them that I will not harm the hostage until I see them," Sato No sneered.
"Yes, sir!"
The black-clothed ninja respectfully accepted the order and then relayed Sato No's words.
At the same time.
In the international waters, a large fishing boat was anchored at sea.
This fishing boat belonged to the maritime company under the Hong Character Gang. It was ostensibly used for fishing, but in reality, it was used for illegal activities.
Currently, besides Sato No and his eight subordinates, Huang Xiong and Chu Weiyang were also on the fishing boat.
Among them, Huang Xiong, dressed in black, and Sato No sat in the cabin, leisurely smoking cigars.
"Mr. Huang, your plan is perfect. Chu Wansong and that ant Jiang Wu Ming have both arrived."
After ending the call with his subordinate, Sato No said to Huang Xiong with a smile.
"Mr. Sato, everyone has a weakness. Chu Wansong's biggest weakness is his daughter. Everyone in the underground world of the entire Dragon Kingdom knows that he dotes on his daughter. Therefore, even if he knows it's a death trap, he will come to save his daughter," Huang Xiong said with a faint smile.
"Then how did you predict that ant Jiang Wu Ming would come?" Sato No asked about his doubt.
"That Jiang Wu Ming, despite his young age, possesses powerful martial strength. Such a young man is bound to have arrogance.
Especially since he just broke through to the Nine-Star Martial Realm and killed a one-star War God, creating a new legend in the global martial arts world, he might feel a sense of invincibility!"
Huang Xiong sneered, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Heh heh... Unfortunately, they are about to face us."
Sato No also sneered.
Both he and Huang Xiong were two-star martial artists, and they were overlord-level existences within that realm. Even killing an overlord among one-star War Gods was as easy as crushing an ant!
In their eyes, Chu Wansong was barely an ant.
As for Jiang Wu Ming...
He was at most an ant!
