I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier

So now, just because of this, he has to put him to the test. Thus, he believes in the saying "Do not employ those you doubt, and do not doubt those you employ." Since the old master is doing this, there must be some purpose behind it.

"Old master, there's no one else around now. If you have any thoughts or intentions, can't you tell me directly? Or are you deliberately keeping secrets from me?"

"Alright, Deputy Li, since you've brought it up today, I can be forthright with you. I want to test him and then I'm prepared to take him away from here."

"What, what did you say? Old master, you, you're going to take him away from here? Where are you planning to take him to?"

"Of course, to my side. And I have lots of things to attend to over there, so I need a capable assistant like this. Moreover, I do believe in Ye Chen's abilities. I will then entrust the task of supporting the young master with the company to him."

"What did you say? Old master, do you mean to keep him by your side to assist Guo Hongyu?"

"That's right. The child is innately kind-hearted, and as such, I simply cannot entrust these adult responsibilities directly to him. Therefore, I need a capable assistant by his side. I've realized that Ye Chen is suitable in every aspect."

"But old master, if you make such an abrupt decision, this, this, catches me off guard."

"Hehe, there's nothing to prepare for. Besides, you've always been protecting Lin Yaru's safety, right? I will take care of that for you."

"What? You're taking care of it? But how am I supposed to explain this to the old master over there?"

"Don't worry, I'm well-acquainted with his grandfather, and our cooperation and relationship have grown quite strong over the years. So, I will carefully consider this matter and, if possible, I'll arrange for Lin Yaru to leave here with us."

"Do they both need to leave?"

"Not just the two of them. You too will need to leave. Besides, it seems unlikely you can stay in Sea City any longer, so there's no need for you to linger here. I will arrange something else for you later. There's much more to do. What? Aren't you willing to do this?"

At this point, Li Fu indeed felt unexpected. He hadn't considered all of these things at the moment, and wasn't aware that the old master might have put him in a difficult position once again.

"No, old master, to tell you the truth, I have deeply regretted leaving you back then. But I had no choice, due to the situation at the hospital that compelled me to leave. Yet, after so many years, I've always hoped that I could return to your side someday."

"That's right, only by my side can you fully utilize your capabilities. This is why I am giving him this trial, and if it goes well, I will take care of what comes next."

"Okay, I understand."

After hearing this, Li Fu simply nodded lightly, knowing that the old master's decisions must be very well-considered, and remembering not to let any mishap happen.

After leaving from there, Ye Chen headed straight north. He hadn't received a secret message on his phone, so he began to decode it on his own and quickly grasped the content of the message.

According to the guidance of the map, the location he operated in was not too far from here, approximately a 5-kilometer journey.

Ye Chen initially intended to hail a car at the roadside and leave, but as soon as he left the area, he suddenly realized that someone seemed to be tailing him from behind.

But where exactly were these few people following him? And where were they hiding? These were questions that Ye Chen could not seem to ascertain.

He only knew one thing: those following him were not simply one or two individuals, but at least four or five.

Upon realizing this, Ye Chen slightly furrowed his brow, feeling that if he were to take a car directly, it would be hard to shake off these tails.

What he could do now was to try to lure them to tour around a park and then deal with them one by one. Only after all of them were taken care of could Ye Chen determine where to go next.

Henceforth, Ye Chen walked to the bus station and began leisurely waiting there.

After a short while, Ye Chen saw a bus approaching. Truth be told, he had no idea where the bus was heading.

But he knew one thing: if he got on the bus, those behind him would surely follow him aboard.

Now, not being the peak period, if they got on the bus, there would not be many passengers. Based on Ye Chen's own experience, he believed he would be able to identify these few individuals.

To deal with them, he had to first target his opponents and figure out their locations and their disguises.

After the bus arrived, he squeezed aboard with the crowd, then saw that there seemed to be some empty seats at the back, so Ye Chen sat down there.

He carefully observed the situation from when he boarded—there were probably only four or five people around him.

But the moment the bus stopped, Ye Chen suddenly saw around ten people board, making it seem likely that they had followed him on.

He carefully scrutinized these individuals, including what appeared to be students, housewives, some blue-collar workers, and corporate professionals.

However, Ye Chen noticed one person holding a newspaper and wearing a pair of gold glasses; his attire was not that of a typical wage-earner.
