Chapter 8

The near-fatal incident tonight prompted her to reflect; she had no doubt about the strong support from the naval forces, but should she be more cautious when dealing with such situations?

The last time I saw it was during an overseas project. Halfway through, the partner company suddenly withdrew its investment, leading to a cash flow crisis that caused the project to halt, leaving the workers stranded abroad. At that time, Yan Sui was just like today, sitting silently at the conference table, playing with a Rubik's Cube, remaining silent for an entire day

In pursuit of authenticity, she rubbed her shoulders and said, "This arm has no reaction other than feeling sore and weak."

Fu Zheng's attention returned to the road conditions as he raised his hand to adjust the rearview mirror back into place: "The sky is clear, and the wind is strong"

Withhold the final payment to the security company, and when I return, have the lawyer prepare for a lawsuit. As for the matter concerning the 'Yan'an' vessel, prepare in two parts; you should quickly arrange for 10 million US dollars in cash, just in case

Sitting in the passenger seat, Hu Qiao's ears twitched, and he let out several hissing sounds in his heart, barely managing to maintain his blank expression.

"Good," Yan Chen replied

She started to make conversation: "Sir, how much longer until we reach our destination?"

Yan Sui made a sound of acknowledgment and turned her gaze towards her

Yan Sui let out a sound of acknowledgment and pressed on: "How is the weather at sea?"

The area of the incident involving the "Yan'an" was in the Gulf of Aden near Somalia. The captain, being experienced, immediately notified the company upon encountering the pirates and also sought assistance from the Ministry of Transport

At this moment, upon hearing her question, he felt no desire to respond at all. He stretched his long legs forward, further lowering the already low brim of his hat.

Little Sui

The road in Somalia was constructed using local materials, and it is flat with no alleys or buildings on either side that could conceal movements, making it unlikely for anyone to choose such a location for an ambush

Lu Xiao's cowardice can actually be understood by Lu Huanghun, but there are some aspects that he finds hard to accept. After explaining a long string of words, he thought for a moment and reluctantly added, "Although Somalia is in a state of war at any time, it is not that terrifying yet"

Beneath her trench coat, she wears a fitted long-sleeve top; among this group of men, she has psychological barriers

Having received permission, she let out a soft sigh and dialed a familiar number

Yan Sui asked again: "What about going to the sea?"

Fu Zheng was the last to board the plane, and the seating in the helicopter was tight, leaving only one vacant seat next to Yan Sui.

Yan Sui shook his head: "It is not convenient"

Ten o'clock sharp local time in China

Half an hour Truly unwilling to say even one more word

After hanging up the phone, she let out a sigh of relief, holding the satellite phone in her hand and playing with it absentmindedly. Her mind was preoccupied with thoughts, and her hands could not remain still; she felt an urge to do something, as if the pent-up frustration inside her had no outlet.

She sat up and quietly asked, "Do you want me to put some pain relief patches on your shoulder injury?"

Lu Xiao was squeezed on the outermost side, and he did not know where the wind came from, making the tops of his feet feel chilly. His already tense nerves tightened again, and he stared out the window. After passing by several grass piles that were half his height, he asked in a trembling voice, somewhat uncertain: "We won't encounter any more danger behind us, will we?"

Since Xin Ya joined the company, it has been rare to see Yan Sui in a state of anxiety. Even though at this moment her expression is relaxed and there is not a trace of impatience on her face, just the act of weighing the satellite phone is enough for her to know that Yan Sui is currently very anxious

Upon hearing this, Xin Ya also realized that her suggestion was ill-timed, and thus she refrained from speaking further

The time predicted by Fu Zheng was neither more nor less than one minute; the vehicle arrived at the seaside precisely two hours and thirty-five minutes later

The state possesses a strong military, and she is blindly confident in the strength of her motherland, as well as being fully assured of her own capabilities

I can't sleep. Yan Sui answered him first: "Tinnitus, dizziness, chills"

Yan Sui could not sleep, and in a moment of desperation, fired that shot. The most evident aftereffect is tinnitus. As soon as I close my eyes, the noise by my ears resembles swarms of mosquitoes throwing a party around my ears

-

Before coming, she was still very optimistic

Yan Sui understood the importance of knowing when to stop while ahead, and did not seek to create further discomfort for Fu Zheng. He pressed down the car window just enough to leave a small gap, allowing for a change of air

"You don't need to worry about the matters on the Huai River." Sensing that she was not keen to discuss it further, Yan Chen did not press the issue. After promising to arrange the ransom as soon as possible, just before hanging up the phone, he leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and couldn't help but remind her: "Please pay attention to your safety; nothing is more important than your safe return"

Lu Xiao only sought a sense of security. After listening to the two passages from Lu Huangdun, he pulled his chilly feet together and shrank back, feeling utterly exhausted

Yan Sui fell silent for a few seconds: "Hung up."

At high speed, even with a small gap opened, the wind rushed in eagerly, brushing against the edges. Yan Sui took several deep breaths of fresh air, catching a faint whiff of gunpowder in the air, feeling a heaviness in his heart

The helicopter has been waiting for a considerable time. After Yan Sui boards, it will take off immediately, heading towards the waters of the Gulf of Aden

Fu Zheng glanced at the time displayed on the instrument and succinctly stated: "Two hours and thirty-five minutes"

-

Xin Ya had just woken up from a short nap, having heard half of the phone conversation. Drowsily, she wanted to fall back asleep. The last time she opened her eyes, she saw Yan Sui continuously scrolling through her phone. Suddenly alert, she forced her eyelids to stay open and softly called out to her: "President Yan"

Those eyes, hidden beneath the brim of a hat, glanced at her with indifference. They then turned away, casually seeking a comfortable position, and closed their eyes for a brief rest

She remained in this position motionless for a long time, long enough for the sky to gradually lighten at the edges. Suddenly, she came to her senses, rubbed her face that had gone numb from the wind, and asked, "May I make a phone call?"

Yan Chen detected a hint of something amiss from her arrangements. She rose from her seat and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, her voice lowering: "What has happened?"

The sky gradually brightened, and as we drew closer to the shore, the salty and briny scent of the sea in the air became more pronounced

... ...

Yan Sui calculated that there was still half an hour of flight time left on this route and asked Fu Zheng: "Officer Fu, how many times have you participated in escort missions?"

Wait, we will clean up together after the matter is finished

Hu Qiao was reprimanded and did not dare to speak again, holding the gun and looking straight ahead, sitting upright.

It is I. "Yan Sui closed the window, the wind had blown for too long, her skin had lost its warmth, and only then did she feel cold: 'I will be brief, listen carefully.'"

-

At the moment when the fourth batch of naval vessels arrived in the Gulf of Aden to carry out escort missions, we promptly rushed to the scene to implement rescue operations

In that lowered tone, there is an evident concern and anxiety

Yan Sui cast a significant eye roll towards the sky

There is just over one hour until dawn

-

In the conference room of the Yan Group, Yan Chen was listening to his assistant report on today's itinerary. When the phone rang, he almost immediately interrupted the assistant's report and answered the call

"Let's talk about it when you return," Yan Sui replied vaguely, glancing at the time on her wrist. "It's ten o'clock over there, right? Are you confident about the collaboration with Huai'an this afternoon?"

Fu Zheng was momentarily at a loss for words. He raised his hand to adjust the rearview mirror in the car, so that he could see Yan Sui more clearly: "I suggest you ... ... "
