Chapter 507 - Chapter 507: The Oil Thief (2/2)

Without further ado, he ran directly towards the stern.

Chen Yu also followed suit.

As the two approached the stern, they indeed heard the distinct sound of a drill.

However, the drill being used had been specially processed to be inaudible beyond five meters.

Filled with hatred, First Mate Han bit his teeth fiercely and leapt to the side, grabbing the two men by the napes of their necks.

“What are you two doing? Do you not know this is the lifeline of the entire ship? If it leaks oil, we’ll all be buried at sea.”

The two men were startled and looked at First Mate Han with eyes full of terror, they hadn’t expected their covert operation to be discovered. Discover stories with Novgo

After a brief moment of shock, the two men immediately sprang up, their drills thrusting directly at First Mate Han.

Chen Yu instantly flashed over, grabbed their wrists, and blue-white light flickered, shocking them into unconsciousness.

First Mate Han immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn’t expected these two to attack with the intent to kill. If it hadn’t been for Chen Yu, he might have lost his life right there and then.

“Mr. Chen, I’m glad you were here; otherwise, those two might have doomed everyone on board.”

Chen Yu didn’t speak. He simply crouched down and placed his fingers on the men’s foreheads, scanning their brain information.

As suspected, these two were sent by the Childe Family, aiming to sabotage the ship.

“First Mate Han, is there something important on this ship?”

First Mate Han couldn’t help frowning.

“Nothing much, just some ordinary silk fabrics intended for trading in South America for some food supplies.”

Chen Yu, with his chin propped up, looked distressed. The Childe Family had gone through great trouble to get two men on board just to destroy some fabric?

“Could you take me to see those fabrics?”

Without any hesitation, First Mate Han first summoned a few crew members to take the two men away, then led Chen Yu down to the nearby warehouse.

This warehouse wasn’t very large, but it was piled high with goods. Most of the boxes contained fabric, with only a small amount of gold and silver.

In some parts of South America, cash was of no use; people only recognized precious metals, so carrying some gold and silver was not unusual.

Chen Yu continued walking in, while using the system to cover the entire warehouse.

That’s when he noticed a very inconspicuous safe in the corner.

“First Mate Han, can this be opened?”

Without any hesitation, First Mate Han stepped forward and entered the password.

When Wu Chen had assigned them, he made it clear that, if necessary, everyone must obey Chen Yu’s commands.

The moment the safe was opened, a purplish-red jade Guanyin statue suddenly appeared before them.

Chen Yu couldn’t help but stare; he hadn’t expected such an item aboard the ship.

Pure purple jadeite was already rare, and a piece that combined purple and red hues like this was even more scarce.

A single piece could be worth hundreds of millions, and such a large jade Guanyin statue was valued at least thirty billion or could even be considered priceless.

“Mr. Chen, this jade Guanyin is the biggest secret on our ship. Mr. Wu wants us to use it to exchange for an advanced biotechnology in Paraguay! This technology could significantly speed up seawater desalination.”

Chen Yu nodded. Wu Chen had always been situated on an island, and the environment there was very harsh, with barren land and no fresh water.

The only way to sustain so many people was to use seawater desalination technology.
