After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chen Yu didn't go to fetch it but instead stuffed a piece of paper into Wu Chen's hand.

"The time of the operation is on here. When it comes, whether or not you receive my message, immediately take action and strike at the Childe Family!"

Wu Chen was immediately stunned, as this undeniably increased his risk.

The opponent was the world's second-ranked super organization, the Knights of the Round Table!

To attack rashly without any information, if the others held back, wouldn't he be the fool?

Chen Yu naturally knew Wu Chen's concerns, and without speaking, he simply smiled softly and then extended a finger, touching it to Wu Chen's forehead.

The next moment, Wu Chen's mind suddenly heard Chen Yu's voice.

"This is a secret operation, any contact between us could be discovered by others!"

Shock filled Wu Chen's eyes; he had never dreamt that someone could transmit what they wanted to say directly into his brain.

"Mr. Chen, how on earth did you do that?"

Chen Yu patted Wu Chen's shoulder, "Remember the time we agreed upon!"

Wu Chen nodded heavily.

Other things aside, just the technology to send a voice into someone else's head, the Childe Family probably couldn't manage.

Chen Yu didn't say anything more and left straight away.

At the same moment, everyone on the island received Wu Chen's order, not stopping Chen Yu and even preparing a cargo ship bound for Paraguay for him.

Ships like this came and went from the island dozens of times a day, specifically charged with transporting supplies to the island.

Chen Yu told Wu Chen he was leaving for Paraguay to unite with the Ghana Family.

Without another word, Wu Chen arranged a luxurious room on the cargo ship especially for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu sat on the sofa, spreading a blueprint in front of him.

The families he had united, to a certain degree, had already surrounded the Knights of the Round Table.

But this encirclement still seemed somewhat frail. If he could also unite the Ghana Family, then the Knights of the Round Table would inevitably be annihilated!

Just as he was drawing on the map, a faint noise suddenly came from not far away.

Chen Yu sprang to his feet, immediately releasing the system.

At the tail of the cargo ship, two shady-looking individuals, carrying special drills, were fiddling near the fuel tank.

Chen Yu frowned slightly; these two seemed like they should be crew members, but what were they doing tinkering with the fuel tank in the dead of night—were they stealing fuel?

He immediately put down the blueprint in his hand, got up, and left the room, just in time to see the first officer.

"Mr. Chen, still not resting at this late hour? Is there something wrong?"

Chen Yu immediately leaned in towards the first officer's ear and pointed in the direction of the stern.

"First Officer Han, I heard what seems like the sound of a drill from over there. Could something have gone wrong?"

First Officer Han was initially stunned and then looked at Chen Yu with a firm gaze.

"Mr. Chen must be joking. That is the location of the fuel tank. All the screws there are integrated. It's impossible to repair, let alone the sound of a drill."

No sooner had he spoken than First Officer Han seemed to realize something; the smile on his face vanished in an instant.

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 My Virtual Library Empire

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.
