I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier Chapter 539: Hindered Progress

"But..."

"Enough, there are no ’buts.’ If sothing unexpected really happened to Ye Chen, I can’t afford to have you get into trouble as well. As it stands, I can’t just disregard the safety of two lives."

"Old Master, you must help him. You have to find a way to help him, do you understand?"

Li Fu was truly anxious.

Having Ye Chen by his side for so many years, a strong bond had already ford between them; he thought of Ye Chen as his own child.

Now, with his own "child" trapped in danger, which parent wouldn’t be worried?

Before the Old Master could reply, the phone suddenly rang. The Old Master picked it up and after a quick glance, he put it to his ear.

"Hello, how is it going?"

"Old Master, their people must have received so news, they are all retreating now."

"Good, this was within our expectations, all of them have retreated, have they?"

"Yes, all of them. I’m guessing by now they have realized that they’ve fallen for an empty fort strategy. So, what do we need to do now?"

"How many people do you have over there?"

"There are three of us, we should all be close by. If we were to gather together, we could make it within 10 minutes, I reckon."

"With your combined abilities, they have over 30 people. How many of their groups can you handle?"

"Probably, one group shouldn’t be an issue, and if we push it, I guess we could hold off another group."

"Rember, so of them are mbers of the Scorpion Gang, they are the most ruthless. Can you find a way to split them up?"

"mbers of the Scorpion Gang, I understand, are you talking about those with the special tattoos on their hands?"

"That’s them."

"We did a quick recon; every group seems to have only two or three of them."

"Right, these two or three individuals per group. So now, see if you can co up with a plan to stop them, even if it ans using other tactics."

"Okay, I understand, but we can only do our best."

"Alright, use your utmost ability. As long as you can hold them off, the base shouldn’t be too threatened."

"Understood, we’ll go do it right now. Old Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"Not for the mont, but you must proceed with caution in the beginning, do not attract trouble, got it? If it doesn’t work out, regroup all the mbers. Or maybe I should get in touch with them now. The objective for all of you right now is to control the mbers of the Scorpion Gang."

"But if we do that, it might be too late. The distances we’re currently distributed across can’t be closed quickly, and even if we do et up, it would probably take at least half an hour. And in that half an hour, they can completely get away."

"Right, I overlooked this point. Half an hour’s journey from there could basically reach the Underground Hospital. Forget it, let’s just do what we can now, or else it will be too late. Hurry, don’t waste a single minute."

As he spoke, Guo Tao hung up the phone directly.

He wasn’t too concerned about the people around Yang Da right now; he believed that with Ye Chen’s abilities, he should be able to handle them.

The key issue was the mbers of the Scorpion Gang, these people posed a potentially lethal threat to Ye Chen.

So now, he must find a way to stop this, only then can everything be taken care of.

"Now, can the Scorpion mbers really be stopped?"

"If I have U12 take action, controlling them isn’t difficult, but the key issue is their dispersion. In such a scattered state, now, we can only stop however many we can and can do nothing about the rest."

"Okay, I understand, all we can do now is leave it to fate. I hope that Ye Chen is lucky and nothing untoward happens to him this ti."

Li Fu prayed silently in his heart.

mbers of the Scorpion Gang were making their way to the base when suddenly, they saw a van parked horizontally in their path.

The vehicle braked sharply and stopped; if it hadn’t braked in ti, it might have crashed.

"What’s going on?"

A mber of the Scorpion Gang frowned and then asked the driver ahead.

"There’s a car ahead, blocking our way."

"What? A car blocking the way? That’s not right."

As he spoke, he furrowed his brows slightly.

At this ti, nobody should be on the road, and even if there were other vehicles, they wouldn’t have just blocked their path; it was obvious they had a purpose.

And then, they heard a loud bang.

Suddenly, the whole vehicle shook.

"What happened?"

"They attacked one of our tires, now one tire is completely busted, so it’s basically impossible for us to rush back now."

"What? The tire is busted, do we have a spare?"

"Yes, there is a spare tire, it’s in the back, but the key issue is..."

"Go, get down and change the spare for , then we need to leave this place as quickly as possible, we absolutely can’t stay here any longer."

The Scorpion Gang mbers were specially trained and were also smart. The purpose of these people was probably to delay their return.

If so, letting Yang Da go back alone, it would probably be very risky.

As soon as the driver received the instructions, he opened the door. But, in the mont of opening the door, he suddenly collapsed.

"Damn, there’s an ambush nearby."

It was at this mont he realized all of it, and finally, the two mbers exchanged glances and promptly leaped from the vehicle, one to the left and one to the right.
