Chapter 479: Seize the Initiative 3

as he said:"I'm lucky.""Before Zeng Hongliang was powerful, he had been suppressing Yun Jie. Now that he's gone, you have actually made the entire group even stronger."Zhou Zijue said something with a..."If you have other plans or arrangements, please let us know in advance. If it's truly necessary to take action ahead of schedule, we will handle it. You don't need to get involved personally."

The lion also said very seriously.

Ripples only lifted her own hand, examined it carefully for a while before saying:

"I remember your training well. My hands are steady."

""

Both the Lion and Gong Fan frowned, feeling that Lian Ri's state was off. But they were now in too deep to turn back.

The ripples, however, reached into his pocket and pulled out a signal jammer. The small box, when opened, caused both of them to unconsciously frown, before they took out the communicators stuck in their ears and stared directly at Ripples.

The Special Crimes Investigation Department has a traitor. I've been told that I am his replacement. Zeng Hongliang knew about this a long time ago, he's using me, using my connections and the police force behind me to consolidate the power of the Li, Jian, and Zhou families. Zeng Hongliang will be the biggest winner in the end.

How did you determine that Vanke has no evidence.

"A woman's intuition."

Ripple smiled and said.

"Ripple, you better tell the truth, or we won't cooperate with your next move."

Gong Fan said somewhat angrily.

Lily retracted her smile and looked at Gong Fan with icy eyes. When she saw his brows furrow, she finally spoke:

"I told your captain back then that I didn't want you on this mission, but unfortunately they didn't take my advice and you came anyway."

Now, tell me, what grounds do you have to reprimand me, huh

You four received the order to protect my life and cooperate with me. Since it's cooperation, whatever I say, you do. I don't need to explain the reasons to you. I will take all the consequences myself!

Gong Fan was taken aback for a moment, then a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. He realized that his tone just now was indeed inappropriate and wanted to explain, but facing Lian Ri's cold gaze, he didn't know what to say.

The lion, seeing that the atmosphere was rather stiff, immediately stepped forward, patted Gong Fan on the shoulder, shook his head at him, and then turned to Ripple and said:

"Ripple, we will ensure your safety and cooperate with your actions, but you need to inform us in advance so we can make arrangements. Otherwise, just like before, if something goes wrong, how could we possibly protect you You're not alone, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

The lion spoke very eloquently, and his words softened Ripple's expression considerably. Then he said:

"Lion, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

At this time, a satellite phone call came in to the yacht. Ripples glanced at it and saw that it was from the Jian family, so she picked up the phone:

"Cloudy, congratulations on your successful ascension!"

A hearty voice came through the phone.

"Jian Ge's messages are really well-connected, he received the news while still at sea!"

"It was Single Bird who told me. I'm impressed you could hold back this long before making a move!"

He wants my life, and I don't fight back Shall I just put my neck out in front of him!

Ripple smiled back.

"Jian Ge supports you!"

"Thank you, Jian Ge. I won't be involved in this shipment. My role is to connect you and facilitate the deal. Once the group stabilizes, I will consider future transactions."

"Alright, this time I'll just treat it as a scout mission. I'm not greedy, just a share from the Jian family is enough."

Of course, no one will be missing Brother Jian.

Both parties reached a consensus in a friendly atmosphere, and then another boat appeared behind Zeng Hongliang's yacht.

Having hung up the phone, Jian Zi knew a sneer curled at the corner of his lips. He said in a low voice:

"Hmph! As if you could actually hold onto the big boss's position!"

"Boss, do we need to..."

Jian saw that the people around him made a throat-slitting gesture, clearly intending to get rid of Lianyi.

"No rush, let's wait until we're ashore before making a move. This woman is ruthless! She has people arranged on the sea. Whether Lao Dan can save his life depends on whether his son is eager to take power! We haven't seen the goods yet, and we still rely on them, so we need to be patient."

Yes, boss!

"Let everyone be more cunning. After we reach shore, find the right moment to strike again. The Tseng Group, without Tseng Hongliang and Yunyi, will fall into infighting, which will be the perfect time for us to seize their territory."

"Understood! The boss is still thinking long-term."

Stop kissing up here, go prepare first.

After his subordinates left, Jian picked up his satellite phone and dialed a familiar number.

After hanging up the satellite phone, Lianyi spoke to the two of them:

Because Dan Lao is injured, the Jian family and Zhou family will definitely be intimidated. They won't act rashly at sea, and the journey ahead should be smooth sailing.

Lion, from now on, the pickup operation is your responsibility. Ma Lu and Xuan Si will temporarily not join us, they will continue to handle long-distance support and communication security. For safety's sake, that batch of goods needs to be marked.

According to your analysis, when they go back, they will make excuses to separate from me. One is to ensure the safety of the goods landing ashore, and the other is to kill me because of what happened with Zeng Hongliang and Lao Dan. It's possible that the three families have already reached an agreement on this matter.

Therefore, after they come ashore, it's best for the police to apprehend both the person and the stolen goods. Otherwise, we will be very passive.

We know what to do.

The lion only replied with one word.

Ripple shut down the jammer, and Lion picked up the satellite phone to send a message to Road, who was far behind them on the other side of their yacht.

Gong Fan came to Lian Yi's side and said softly:

"I apologize to you. I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. I will do my job and protect your safety."

“I’m not in a good mood either, you don’t need to apologize! Actually, I already regret taking this job. It's harder than I imagined, and the role of Yunyi I play is more dangerous than I thought. She's walking on a tightrope, and now I'm on it too. I have to keep going.”

Why not refuse

"I'm a good citizen, fighting crime is my responsibility."

"You've changed a lot. You're very different from when we first met."

“I’m still me, just trained by you to be infinitely close to the real Yunyi, processing problems in her way and with her thinking. So don't expect too much from me, after all, I'm not a professional.”

After Lian'yi finished speaking, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

In Gong Fan's eyes, her expression overlapped perfectly with the dark clouds, without any flaws. For some reason, he felt a bit stifled in his chest.

Before he could even speak, the lion walked in and said:

I have already notified Lu and Xuansi, they are on standby! The Zhou family called, looking for you!

Ripples picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. A middle-aged man's voice came from inside:

"Clouds are gathering, they say that Zeng Hongliang has abdicated in favor of a virtuous successor. You are now the head of the Zeng family."

"Yes!"

"Can you make the decision on this deal"

Of course!

"Shall we continue the trade"

"Deal continues!"

"Okay, our ship is at the back, see you in a bit!"

See you later!

After speeding across the sea for another hour, four ships finally saw the F-country cargo cruise liner anchored on the surface of the water.ly members had offended someone. The investigation led them to the Meng family in Kyoto, and subsequently uncovered what grandson Hu Chenghao had done.Mr. Hu was furious. He never expected that such a...
