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

Chapter 690: Resolving Doubts

"Alright, I understand."

Anying nodded after hearing this, although feeling that the pace was indeed a bit too quick and also extremely tense.

But Anying, after so many years in the Martial Arts World, was already long accustomed to all of this.

"Fine, we'll discuss the specifics when the time comes. For now, let us put everything aside, and then, have a good rest tonight. Early tomorrow morning, we must meet up with Old Master Guo. After all, we have to proceed with matters here in sync."

"Is there any significant matter within the Guo family? And it could just be some kind of business competition. I feel that if it's really just that, shouldn't we refrain from getting involved?"

"As to whether we should get involved, who should we be taking orders from right now? Moreover, if it's something superficial like business matters, I think the Old Master can handle it himself. He's not focusing on that now, there must be something deeper at play."

"Fine then, I am following you now anyway. No matter what, how to arrange things is for you to decide. I just need to obey orders and follow through with everything."

After listening, Ye Chen just smiled, then went over and patted Anying gently on the shoulder. By now, he truly had a lot of respect for Anying.

Even if presented with mountains of gold and silver, he probably couldn't easily let Anying go.

"By the way, nobody's been bothering you about that matter before, right?"

"How could they bother me anymore? I don't even know where they have gone now, and I've heard that the group has been taken over by someone else, they have completely stepped down."

"That's good. As long as that person is gone, maybe no one will trouble you. Anyway, if you need anything, just tell me. You are my person now, so I won't allow anyone to hurt you, understand?"

"Alright, I know."

"Okay, then you should rest early."

After finishing the conversation, he nodded and then left the room directly.

Having returned to his own room, he sat there, waited for a while, and then slowly took out his mobile phone, subsequently dialing Li Fu's number.

"Hello, what's up?"

"Li Lao, where are you now?"

"Oh, I'm out. Go ahead."

"I have something to discuss with you in person. Are you free tonight?"

"Alright, let's meet tonight. I'll send you the address in a bit."

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up, they nodded and then put their phones away.

Ever since he entered this whirlpool, from the moment he started to protect Lin Yaru, he felt that things here couldn't be as simple as he had imagined.

Although Deputy Li had recognized his potential and even owed him a life-saving debt – in other words, without a divorce, Ye Chen wouldn't have achieved what he had today.

Therefore, in his eyes, Deputy Li was like a saint or his own father; his words were to be followed unquestionably.

He never trusted anyone else, and only Deputy Li's commands would he carry out unwaveringly.

With that thought, he did not proceed any further, and with too much conspiracy and machination involved, he now found himself sinking deeper into a conspiracy-layered plot. So no matter what, he had to figure things out.

Only after confirming all the details could he give a full account to Deputy Li.

At 7:00 pm, Ye Chen arrived on time at a teahouse where Li Fu had already booked a private room. Ye Chen followed the room number to the place.

On reaching the door, Ye Chen paid close attention; Li Fu should have already been there.

Each time they met, they would have a special secret signal between them.

This signal would be displayed on the door. If the signal was correct, it meant that there was no danger at the moment, and one could enter and exit normally.

However, if there was no signal or if the signal did not match, it signified danger, and he would promptly withdraw, avoiding trouble for both parties.

Upon opening the door, he saw Li Fu on one side, pouring a cup of tea. Seeing him coming in, he simply gestured with his hand, pointed to a spot next to him, and sat down.

"I knew that one day you wouldn't stand it anymore, and would come to me. I know you have many questions in your heart; tell me, what exactly do you want to know?"

At this, Ye Chen just nodded slightly. After all, this was Li Fu, who had been arranging various tasks for him all this time. Without Li Fu, he would never have achieved what he did today.

Between him and Li Fu, there was nothing to hide. Anything he could appreciate, Li Fu would rigorously and inheritably carry out for him.

"Actually, from the very beginning when I took on the task of protecting Lin Yaru, I didn't think too much of it. I just thought I was protecting a young lady of a wealthy family. Although her identity was quite concealed at that time, the more hidden someone is, the more secrets they might hide, I reckoned."

"Indeed, that's correct. I didn't disclose her identity to you at that time because the circumstances weren't suitable, and her identity was far too special. Therefore, I couldn't do it anymore."

"So, when you accepted that command back then, who did you say it was from?"

"I told you, it was from Liuyie."

"Really, Liuyie?"

"Yes, Liuyie. To be honest, I also know you want to know what the relationship is between me and Liuyie. Let me put it this way, whatever relationship exists between me and you now, is the type of relationship I have with Liuyie."
