The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert-Chapter 1373 - 1681: Island Raid (1)

Dang! Someone’s coming. Ling Chen’s heart sunk, and he looked to his side where the footsteps were coming from. To his left was a container, and the footsteps were approaching slowly alongside it. Damn... Ling Chen frowned slightly to himself. He was currently wedged in the gap between two containers, barely fitting, unable to make any significant movements.

If that armed personnel walked this way, they would surely see him. No, this position is not favorable for counterattack; he must relocate immediately. Thinking of this, Ling Chen quickly climbed up the container, preparing to transfer from the top stealthily.

However, just as Ling Chen reached the top of the container, a powerful beam of light suddenly shot down from above, landing right on him.

Not good! Ling Chen sharply raised his head, but due to the strong light, his vision was somewhat obstructed, and he could barely make out two figures atop the cargo ship. What a miscalculation... Ling Chen thought to himself. Besides people on the deck, there were watchers on the top.

"Someone’s on the container, quick, grab him."

Upon hearing the voices from above, the armed personnel on the deck rushed towards the container. Hearing footsteps approaching from all directions, Ling Chen dared not hesitate any longer, quickly climbing down from the container to change his position.

"Fatty, speed!" Ling Chen shouted, then leapt off the container, landing squarely on the head of an armed personnel.

Bang! With a punch swung, the armed personnel didn’t even have the chance to resist, falling directly to the ground. Meanwhile, seven or eight armed personnel rushed from both sides, encircling Ling Chen. Faced with this encirclement, Ling Chen was nonchalant, not waiting for them to take the initiative, he had already charged in, instantly diving into the crowd. In a blink, more than half of the seven or eight armed personnel were down.

"OK! Done!" Hearing Hu Fei’s voice through the earpiece, Ling Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Done!"

"Both atop settled." Soon, the voices of Yuan Yun and others came through the earpiece one after another.

After dealing with the armed personnel on the deck, Qiu Yong and others quickly came over. Hu Fei was holding a laptop, carrying a large backpack with three antennas at the top.

"Fatty, you’re sure there’s no problem, right?" Ling Chen asked. Before the action, Ling Chen’s biggest worry was the armed personnel notifying the island base about the situation on the ship, as who knows if the island folks might launch a missile sinking this cargo ship.

Thankfully, Hu Fei had prepared extensively before departure, promptly jamming the entire cargo ship’s signals. This way, the armed personnel and the island were disconnected. Hearing Ling Chen’s inquiry, Hu Fei made an ’OK’ gesture, smiling as he said, "Rest assured, not a single message got out. But we have to hurry with arrangements, if there’s still no message, the island folks will definitely start asking questions." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ling Chen thought for a moment, suddenly breaking into a grin, and said, "I do have a method."

"What method?" Qiu Yong asked from the side.

Ling Chen pointed to the armed personnel on the ground and said, "Since the island sent armed personnel to search this cargo ship, someone must return, or else the island folks will certainly get suspicious. So, including us, there are about twenty people, just enough to disguise as them and land ashore. What do you think?"

Ling Kun nodded in agreement, "This method is good, I agree."

"Alright, since there’s no objection, let’s quickly prepare." Having said that, Ling Chen turned his attention to Li Bin and the crew on the deck.

With Ling Chen’s ’kind’ persuasion, Li Bin and the crew were very perceptive. Before long, everything was ready, Ling Chen and others changed into the armed personnel’s clothing, then took three inflatable boats to head towards the island.

Approaching the shore, Ling Chen saw someone on the shore using a searchlight to illuminate the sea. When the three inflatable boats reached the shore, staff immediately came and stabilized the boats. Ling Chen and others jumped off, not fearing recognition from those people. All the armed personnel wore masks, so even if they encountered island folks, they wouldn’t be recognized.

Disembarking, a staff member approached, saying: "Go report to the captain, he’s waiting for you."

"Where’s the captain?" Ling Chen casually asked.

"Are you new here? Of course, it’s the command center." Leaving this remark, the staff member no longer paid attention to Ling Chen and walked away.

Command center... Ling Chen surveyed the surroundings, noticing this island wasn’t very large, with a distance of only about two kilometers between the two ends. Despite not being large, the island was well maintained with towering buildings everywhere, and even had a runway in the middle.

Judging by this setup, the southern Ling Family must have been managing this island for years. Tsk tsk! Ling Chen secretly marveled; given this scenario, the northern Ling Family’s loss was understandable. Compared to the northern Ling Family, the southern developed faster and more efficiently.

Not far from the shore, several jeeps were parked. Since buildings were far from the shore, cars were essential transportation.

Driving, Ling Chen headed straight for the cluster of buildings ahead. After a few hundred meters, nearing the buildings, sharp-eyed Ling Chen noticed several jeeps parked outside a two-story building, probably the command center.

"Let’s go, check it out, everyone stay alert," Ling Chen reminded.

Soon, the jeeps parked outside the two-story building. Getting off, Ling Chen led everyone inside. Upon entering, the room was filled with equipment and computers, several staff were busy at their computers. In the center of the room stood a strategic table, where a middle-aged man dressed like an officer was standing, unsure of what he was examining.

Hearing footsteps at the door, the officer looked up, glancing at Ling Chen and others, then returned his gaze to the strategic table, "That cargo ship is all clear?"

The inquiry was evidently routine, so Ling Chen simply replied with, "No issues."

"Alright, there shouldn’t be anything tonight; you all head back and rest; I’ll notify you if needed."

"Understood." Ling Chen replied, heading straight towards the officer. Noticing Ling Chen’s move, the officer looked up, asking, "Anything else?"

"Captain, I have a few questions I’d like to ask you."
