Chapter 476: Strike First
rgy drinks and don't eat anything else, otherwise you won't reach the weight requirement your fighting teacher asked for.Anne tossed her flowing red hair and said."Miss Anne, it's too distracting to b..."Yes, I understand!"
"Do not attempt to contact Yun Yi recently, wait for my notice."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Yes, boss!"
The call ended, the other party took out their SIM card and did the same thing as Zeng Hongliang had done, then opened the computer in front of them and started playing Snake. They were leisurely fishing for information.
On the other side, Wanliang and Lianyi's meeting ended successfully. Wanliang left with the listening devices removed from the lion.
Of all the listening devices, the one without a traceable origin should hold a clue. He was determined to follow up on it.
"Ripple, things are a bit complicated now. This deal might involve more than just Zeng Hongliang. Be prepared."
The lion spoke solemnly.
"I understand, so I still need your cooperation. Did that shipment really arrive"
Ripples turned her head and asked.
"Here we are!"
The road gave a positive response.
"We have five days to prepare, you don't have to worry too much, we will definitely ensure your safety."
Gong Fan opened his mouth and said.
"I believe in you!"
Five days later, Lian Yi only brought the lion and Gong Fan onto Zeng Hongliang's private yacht.
At the beginning, the lion didn't agree with Ripple's decision because they four were a perfect combat squad. When facing emergencies, they could protect Ripple to the greatest extent. Now that two people are missing, it doesn't mean they can't protect Ripple, but the difficulty will increase.
"Zeng Hongliang only wants to use me as a pawn. If I help him eliminate the competition, he will definitely turn on me and guard against me. To lower his suspicions and ensure someone supports us, you can't all be on the same boat with me."
Ripples gave her own explanation.
Finally, the lion accepted Ripple's explanation. In the end, the four decided that the lion and Gong Fan would accompany her.
After the ripples boarded the yacht, it set sail. Ma Lu and Xuan Si also summoned a yacht, trailing far behind them.
At the same time, three other bigwigs set off from different locations to head to the pre-arranged coordinates in international waters.
On the pre-arranged open sea surface, a cargo cruise liner flying the flag of France slowed down and drifted on the waves, seemingly waiting for distinguished guests to arrive.
After boarding the yacht, Lian Ri scanned his surroundings, looking at the well-trained crew members on board. He smiled knowingly, this Zeng Hongliang was truly afraid of death.
"According to your plan, I gave each of them different meeting coordinates and times. However, they all happen to be on the route to a public sea trade. Convenient for you to make your move."
"Okay, I'm good here."
Ripples said softly.
Zeng Hongliang puffed on his cigar, glanced at the lion behind Lian Yi and Gong Fan, then asked:
Where are your other two assistants
I gave them other tasks.
"Oh What kind of mission is it Why only arrange them two If you're short-handed, tell me, I can transfer people from here for you."
Zenghongliang's eyes behind the spectacles stared intently at the ripples, as if trying to discern something.
Ripple smiled faintly and said:
They’re right behind us, in case there are any stragglers, that’s when they make their move.
"Yun Yi, you truly are my capable assistant. To think we both came up with the same plan! I've also arranged for people on my side."
Zenghongliang burst into laughter and said, "It seems both sides have left some room for maneuver."
"I know the boss values this deal and will definitely bring his best people with him. There's no need to ask someone who has a bad relationship with the boss."
Ripple sneered.
The implication is: I know you're afraid of death and would definitely bring the best people with you for protection. How could you possibly genuinely deploy troops to help her if you're trying to protect yourself from me That's why she never even brought up the issue of requesting reinforcements.
And ever since Lian Ri returned as Yun Yi, none of Yun Yi's former subordinates or those who followed her had proactively contacted her. When she called them, they all acted evasively, saying that Zeng Boss had arranged other jobs for them.
The ripples are just for show, to make it easier for her to distance herself from Yun Yi's subordinates later on. After all, there must be people arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes among these people. Right now, she only trusts the four people around her, maybe plus one more, Wan Liang.
Zeng Hongliang wasn't stupid, he naturally heard the sarcasm in Lianri's words. A flash of killing intent crossed his eyes, then he chuckled and brushed the matter aside.
And both the lion and Gong Fan keenly glanced at Zeng Hongliang, clearly feeling that this guy was up to no good.
"The clouds are heavy, there's still a distance to the public sea. Stay with me for a while."
Zeng Hongliang also noticed the looks from Lion and Gong Fan, so he called Ripples away directly, but he didn't let the two follow him into the yacht.
Ripples chatted with Zeng Hongliang, following his lead in a somewhat disjointed conversation. He would occasionally bring up past events involving Yunyi, clearly probing Ripples.
Ripple will say what she knows, and if she doesn't know something, she'll say she doesn't remember.
"It's been so long, I don't remember that at all. I didn't expect the boss to remember it so clearly."
"Back then, you used to call me 'Zeng Ge', but now you seem a bit distant. You only call me 'Boss' now."
“That was in the past. Now, Zeng Ge is the head of the group company and deserves respect. I should be respected too, and besides, I don't want others in the company to underestimate me, saying that I, Yun Yi, only got my position because of my relationship with the boss.”
The ripples followed the other person's words.
You're still the same, too stubborn.
"That feels solid to me."
Lian Yi smiled, looking at Zeng Hongliang's slightly swollen face, feeling contempt in her heart. The other party had long since lost their former ambition and courage, so they were willing to become a pawn.
"Boss, Yun Jie, we've entered the open sea."
One of Zeng Hongliang's bodyguards came in to report.
"Let's go! We should check and see if Lao Dan has arrived at the designated spot by now."
Zenghongliang got up and said, Lianyi nodded and followed him out.
"Boss, look over there, that's General Dan's ship."
The bodyguard pointed to a white dot on the sea horizon and said.
Contact him
Zeng Hongliang hadn't finished his words when he felt a chill run down his neck. He instinctively reached out and touched it, seeing a glaring red. He mechanically turned his head and saw Ripples with a blank expression.
"Boss!!!"
The bodyguard gasped and pulled out his gun, but Ripple shot him in the forehead before he could even react. Then, without hesitation, she kicked the slowly falling Zeng Hongliang off the yacht with one swift kick.
The sudden and swift change caught everyone on the yacht off guard, including Lion and Gong Fan. However, the two reacted swiftly. Just as Zeng Hongliang's bodyguard exclaimed in shock, they were already beside her, protecting her in the middle.
What are you doing
The lion asked in a low voice.
Of course, it's better to strike first.
The corners of her lips twitched into a cold smile.
Listen up, from now on I'm your boss! Those who are willing to follow me, Yun Yi, I assure you I won't treat you badly!
If you want to continue following Zeng Hongliang, then jump down. I won't make a move. Whether you can survive depends on your own abilities!in her hand, calling out to her communicator in her mind:"Mortar, what's the matter with Emilio I last examined his body, he shouldn't be controlled by demonic energy this quickly.""It was done by Con...
