I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 885: Danger Lurks Everywhere

After about half an hour, he gently touched the spot with his hand. By this time, the area around his waist had started to heat up, and he knew that the effect was beginning to set in.

"Sir, I'm afraid you'll have to endure a little bit for the next few days, at most just three days. During this time, you need to stay in bed, as it will aid the bone healing process. Afterwards, you can slowly start moving around on the ground, and you should be fully recovered in about 10 days."

"All right, no problem at all. After all, I'm idle at home these days, and there's no need for me to attend to company matters, so it's not a big issue. I should be able to get through it in 10 days."

"Okay sir, I'll take my leave now and go over there to check on other clues. If there's any news, we'll inform you promptly."

"Okay, I understand, Ye Chen, but isn't there something you should consider?"

Ye Chen was almost ready to turn around and leave, but upon hearing the old man's words, he suddenly turned back around.

Then, with a puzzled look, he glanced at the old man, unsure of what exactly he was supposed to consider.

"Sir, if there's something, please just say it, what's going on exactly?"

"Shouldn't you inform Mr. Lin about this?"

"You mean I should call him and update him on the current situation?"

"Yes, since there's already been such a big change and they've already begun to target Yaru, I think he should send people to make some preparations. I'm worried they might attack them directly, which would make the situation even more complicated, wouldn't it?"

"Are you saying their ultimate goal is still against the Lin Family?"

"Yes, for all these years they've been hiding these things with the objective being against them. Now that it has reached a critical moment, and they have begun to act against Yaru, I believe the Lin Family's safety should be considered as well."

Hearing this, Ye Chen slightly frowned. Initially, he was only concerned for Lin Yaru's safety, but he had never thought about what situation his grandfather might be in.

"Sir, your words have indeed reminded me. I need to inform him quickly about the situation here to understand what's going on."

As he spoke, Ye Chen took out his phone and dialed Lin Yaru's grandfather's number.

After a brief moment, Lin Yaru's grandfather answered the call.

He had been anxiously waiting for news from Ye Chen for a few days, as it had been two days and two nights since they landed on the island, with absolutely no clues.

But Mr. Lin didn't dare to contact Ye Chen proactively, knowing very well that once he did, it could alarm the enemy or draw unwanted attention, so he remained in a passive position.

"Hello, Ye Chen, is that you? How is it now, have you guys come down from the island? Was it dangerous? How are you and Yaru? Is Yaru all right?"

Just after the call connected, even before Ye Chen could report everything, the old man bombarded him with questions.

"Rest assured, Yaru is doing fine, no major issues. We've successfully come down from the island, though just barely; we almost didn't make it out of that path."

"What did you say, almost? What's going on, was there danger on the island? Or is there something unknown about the island?"

"Sir, initially we underestimated these people too much. We assumed our actions would be stealthy, but who could have guessed they were fully aware of everything."

"You're saying that your island operation, from the moment you landed, was already known to them, right?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Exactly, it was like that. So when we landed, we maintained a mysterious approach to avoid detection, but it was all within their expectations, and the island was full of traps."

"What clues did you find online?"

"We discovered a swamp area there, which was quite interesting. During the day, it was completely clogged, but at night, as the tide recedes, the swamp would recede as well, forming a large pit."

"A large pit? Are you saying my son was hidden there back then?"

"Yes, but strictly speaking, not in the big pit itself. There was an entrance to a cave on one side of the pit, which created a pressure differential outside the swamp, so even when the swamp rose, it never flooded the cave. That cave led to another space."

"Has he been living there all these years?"

Upon hearing this, the old man became visibly agitated over the phone.

After all, for years, Mr. Lin had believed his son to be dead, yet never expected him to have been living in a swamp.

"That's right. We found some living traces inside, some cans, and other items. All indications suggest that someone was imprisoned there long-term, with two very long iron chains."

At this point, silence fell over the phone.

Because he knew, this was something hard for anyone to accept, let alone his son, who had endured such treatment and had been hidden for 20 whole years.
