Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!
Chapter 168 You’ve Been Targeted

Chapter 168: Chapter 168 You’ve Been Targeted

Xiao Chen blocked his view, and he turned his head to look back.

"Mr. Zhai, which beauty caught your eye this time, making you so eager?" Feng Ye touched his right earring, his flirtatious gaze cheekily looking at him.

This guy is even more coquettishly irresponsible than I am.

The kind that flirts and doesn’t take any responsibility afterward.

"An exceptional beauty, just her silhouette had me utterly fascinated, truly remarkable and impressive," Zhai Quan said excitedly, but when he tried to look for Yun Yue again, she was nowhere to be found in the crowd.

"..."

Zhai Quan complained in frustration, "Master Chen, you owe me a beauty..."

Zhai Quan had a boyishly innocent face, a purity that made him even more popular among young girls than Feng Ye’s flirtatious charms.

Xiao Chen’s brows furrowed slightly, and his profound gaze fixed on Zhai Quan, causing his rampant bravado from just a moment ago to vanish instantly.

"I guess that won’t be necessary. Someone like Master Chen should keep any beauties for himself," Zhai Quan spoke up.

Feng Ye’s eyes widened, Bro, that’s pretty presumptuous of you to say.

Show a little restraint at least!

Aren’t you afraid that Master Chen will throw you into the Beiyang Sea to feed the fish?

Besides, Master Chen is not single anymore, he has a girlfriend!

And she’s very beautiful.

You’ll be green with envy when you see her.

He decided not to tell him just yet; let him wait, let him dig his own grave.

Xiao Chen cast him a sidelong glance with his deep eyes. Zhai Quan, being rather thick-skinned, had no idea what that look meant.

"Let’s go." Feng Ye stepped forward, draped his arm around Zhai Quan’s neck, and headed for the car with a mischievous smile on his lips.

"My beauty!" Zhai Quan lamented if only he had run a bit faster, he might have been chatting her up by now.

"Stop fretting, keep this up and you’ll soon find yourself exiled to the North Wilderness," Feng Ye said with a laugh.

These days, Master Chen hadn’t been in the best of moods. As a brother, that was all the warning he could give.

"?" Zhai Quan looked at him, was it really that serious?

The group got into the car and headed straight to the Beiyang Base.

The Beiyang Base was an offshore island constructed with a huge investment from Xiao Chen.

It dominated a significant portion of resources in the Beiyang Sea. Other marine enterprises wanting to make money in the Beiyang had to go through their authorization because five years ago, Master Chen had already purchased the marine area of the Beiyang.

They had been operating at a loss for the first two years; if not for Master Chen’s robust financial power, billions could have gone down the drain.

Back then, no one had any faith in the Beiyang area. Now that it was successful, everyone wanted a piece of the action.

...

Yun Yue stood on the dock, "I think I just saw Xiao Chen."

Mo Fan: "?"

"What should we do? Avoid him?"

She can’t expose her identity; after all, she was here on a mission this time—for ten billion!

Her son was still waiting for her support.

"He’s probably here for the auction too. Let’s play it by ear; Mo, you and Nan Jingchen follow me, while Xiao Bai and Cang Leng take my token to meet up with Zhai Quan."

It’s not good to have too many people around her; Xiao Chen’s eyes are sharp, and those two exude a strong killing intent, which could be easily detected.

Xiao Chen had seen Mo Fan before, so it doesn’t matter if he follows along. As for Nan Jingchen, he’s practically invisible.

"The boat is here, let’s board separately."

They all boarded the boat.

They were heading to the Beiyang Base to rest for one night; the Beiyang auction would take place the following evening.

All passengers on the Beiyang were subject to security checks and were not allowed to carry any weapons aboard. Since the auction was organized by Zhai Quan, they should have no problem bringing weapons.

Once on board, Yun Yue pulled her cap low and wore a black mask, her rakish eyes scanning her surroundings.

Many people on the ship had brought weapons, and each one seemed to be from the underworld—it looked like they were all here for the Beiyang auction.

I believed that the auction would undoubtedly be lively.

Yun Yue stood on the deck of the ship, turned her head, and looked at Nan Jingchen, "Can you swim?"

"Ah? I’m from the north, you know! A total landlubber!" Nan Jingchen rubbed his nose.

He got excited at the sight of the ocean but was also somewhat afraid.

Afraid that if he fell in, he would immediately sink to the bottom and become fish food.

"..."

"If you fell in and became fish food, it wouldn’t be an undeserved death."

Couldn’t he just tell her what he wanted from the action and not have to join the fray? Now she had to find someone to protect him!

Especially with Xiao Chen around, she had to put on a disguise because it wasn’t good for her to act directly.

"You really have a sharp tongue," Nan Jingchen clicked his tongue but shamelessly said, "Fanfan, if there’s danger later, please protect me..."

"Ew, gross, don’t call me that!" Mo Fan was disgusted, bearing a face even more bewitching than a woman’s, yet he was a man—it was sickening.

"Boss, can we change his face again?"

Yun Yue frowned in thought at this request, "As long as we find the right skin, we should be able to."

Nan Jingchen: "..."

"There’s no need for that! I think this face is quite good!"

He subconsciously kept his distance from these two women—frightening creatures.

The ship was fast and arrived at the Beiyang Base in an hour.

The Beiyang Base was like a small city with skyscrapers rising from the ground; it was extremely opulent and was considered the second Beijing of z country.

The appearance of the Beiyang Base had broadened human knowledge, showing that buildings could indeed be built on the sea.

"I’ve long heard that Beiyang is the second Beijing of z country, and it’s no lie—this is just too opulent!" Nan Jingchen couldn’t help but exclaim.

Constructing buildings on the sea, it required massive financial, material, and human resources. And that was far from enough; he greatly admired the architect of Beiyang Base—an undoubtedly top-class architect!

Probably the only person in the world who could achieve this.

After seeing it, Mo Fan couldn’t help but voice his admiration as well: "Tsk, I really admire the person who spent the money to build this Beiyang Base."

Yun Yue scanned the surroundings; indeed, she was very shocked.

In recent years, Lou Ting’s overseas business had to obtain authorization from Beiyang’s Zhai Quan, and the annual maritime fees he paid alone amounted to as much as ten billion, not to mention the many other businesses.

She estimated that Beiyang could earn at least tens of billions a year.

"Let’s find a place to stay first," she said after surveying the area.

Although there were police patrols around, given that it was the sea, the jurisdictional system wasn’t as safe and complete, and the police’s power was ultimately limited; if anything significant happened, it would take at least an hour for mainland police to arrive.

Therefore, only a few police officers were on duty here; most were security guards trained by the Beiyang Group.

These guards were evidently well-trained and equipped; they were not inferior to the police at all.

"Just one room," Yun Yue said to Mo Fan.

Nan Jingchen: "?!"

"I’m a guy!"

Yun Yue’s lips curled up as her delicate brows lifted, "You’ve been marked. Are you sure you want to sleep alone? Afraid that by tonight, you’ll be kidnapped!"

Nan Jingchen: "... then let’s just get a large suite."

He was afraid to die!

Getting out safely even once, it was better to stick close to them; at least Mo Fan could fight.

Mo Fan took the room card, and the three of them headed toward the elevator.

Yun Yue’s lips curled slightly as she briefly glanced at two men in black outside.

These two had had their eyes on them since they disembarked, and she wasn’t quite sure what these two were watching, but with Nan Jingchen’s dim-wittedness, she feared that by tomorrow morning, all she would see was his stiff corpse.
