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

After entering the shop, the clerk acted as if nothing was amiss, seemingly indifferent to their coming and going.

Ye Chen then realized that this person was probably one of their own, thus all these connections must have been prearranged.

They approached the shelves at the back, then opened a small door and the two of them went straight through it.

Upon entry, Ye Chen turned around to glance back and found the room already full of goods, likely the surplus stock from the warehouse, now piled up here.

They didn't linger long, merely passing through to find another door up ahead.

When they opened this door, Ye Chen noticed for the first time that there was another room hidden here, not too big or small, roughly 10 square meters in size.

And at that moment, Ye Chen saw someone lying on the bed.

In fact, the person had already quietly laid down but had not fully regained consciousness.

After observing for a moment, Ye Chen suddenly became alert. Recognizing the clothes, he identified the person as the woman he had dealt with just before.

"She, why is she here?"

As soon as Ye Chen saw her, he strode forward to carefully check if this was indeed the woman he had been following.

Upon closer inspection, he saw it was indeed a woman, who had now slightly opened her eyes.

She laughed upon seeing Ye Chen appear.

"I thought you were quite capable. Turns out you're nothing special, huh?"

The woman was tightly bound and thus couldn't move at all.

"What exactly is going on? You had passed out before, could you have woken up on your own? Impossible, even if you did wake up, it would take at least two hours, and clearly the timing isn't right."

"Hehe, did you really think you could knock me out that easily? I was just pretending to evade detection and fool your eyes. I never fainted and was always conscious. So when you got into the car, I closely followed you. But unexpectedly, I was discovered by your people."

It seemed that he did indeed have a complaint.

Then he glared fiercely at the shorter man.

"I told you already, none of these people should be left to trail us, but you still brought her here. And let me remind you, this woman can unblock her own pressure points, so your skills are useless on her."

Quite the formidable character indeed. If Ye Chen were in her place, he might not have the ability to do the same.

Now he was truly curious about this woman.

How could his techniques, which even martial arts experts might fail to counteract, have no effect on her?

His curiosity about the woman was only growing.

"What did the old master send with you this time?"

"Oh, it's this."

Not forgetting his mission, he hastily took out a ring and handed it to the person.

That person just examined the ring, gave a slight nod, and pocketed it.

"Now that he has found this stronghold, this person cannot be left alive. What do you say, do you deal with it, or should I?"

"What do you mean by 'deal with'?"

"How? Since she knows so much, she can't be left alive in this world. She must be dealt with."

"Isn't that extreme?"

Ye Chen had indeed done certain things before, but to kill someone was never an option he faced.

And although the woman had been following him, she hadn't committed any extreme actions.

Merely for following, ending her life would be far too cruel.

"Look, can you, can you hand her over to me? I'll take her back and figure out what to do then."

"What? Why would you take this woman back? Do you understand that she is a spy and her disappearance would alert them to their compromised target?"

"I know, therefore after she returns, she faces a dead end just the same, better to keep her close. I have other uses for her."

"This…"

The man hesitated, having intended to dispose of her right in front of Ye Chen, but Ye Chen wasn't permitting him to do so.

"Wait a moment."

Then the man stood up from there and went out directly.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to have some skill. I thought I could easily take care of you, but instead, you managed to follow me."

"Don't assume you're so great. There's always someone stronger. But if you plan to kill me, do it quickly and don't torture me back and forth."

"Oh, actually, according to his plan, I was going to kill you, but now I suddenly changed my mind. I can't kill you, instead, I want to keep you, to torture and study you slowly."

"What do you want to do?"

When Ye Chen mentioned this, it instilled profound fear in the woman.

Ironically, had Ye Chen decided to resort to brute force, the woman would have been absolutely unafraid.

Having undergone professional training, life in the face of danger meant nothing to her.

But Ye Chen's expression and the idea of taking her back for a long-term examination was indeed a troublesome prospect for the woman.
