I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 930: Ye Chen’s Gamble

"But we've already asked him a lot, and he did offer some information. However, this information lacks practical recommendations. We just learned a few things from it. The key issue is, how should we verify this information? Moreover, how should we continue the investigation? This is a huge challenge for us."

"Challenge aside, however, I feel like we've started to gradually adapt to the levels. Continuing these things shouldn't be too difficult."

"So, you're saying you've already figured out what to do next?"

"Not fully. That's why I want to discuss it with the old man. This afternoon, we'll go over there and interrogate him. Only then can we know what to do."

"Alright, I got it. Be careful, and if anything happens, we'll stay in touch."

After saying that, he just nodded, then quickly got up and left.

Actually, Ye Chen had his own ideas. And after Ye Chen left here, he just smiled slightly. At that moment, he was betting on something and started executing it behind everyone's back.

If this gamble succeeds, then it will undoubtedly propel them forward significantly.

To see the old man now, to be honest, is pointless. Regarding this matter, he couldn't point a clear path forward.

Ye Chen could only rely on himself, searching for clues to keep this matter going.

Therefore, Ye Chen remained quietly waiting in a corner, believing certain things would not disappoint him. By dawn, everything should become clear.

Gradually, the sky started to lighten, and Ye Chen quietly waited, constantly checking the time and his watch, hoping to receive the most accurate updates.

Around 5:30, Ye Chen suddenly saw a few people hurriedly running over there. At that moment, Ye Chen seemed to see hope and immediately got up.

Finally, he hurriedly ran over there, grabbed one of the family members, and noticed his anxious expression, unaware of what had happened.

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? Did something happen?"

"Ah, Brother Ye Chen, I'm really sorry. The guards over there were a bit careless, so it seems that woman managed to escape."

"What did you say? Escape? Who escaped? Which woman?"

"The woman you brought back before, in the basement. But, somehow, she suddenly opened the door and managed to climb over the wall."

"Did the old man know about this?"

"He should know by now and is already on his way."

"Good, I got it. Since she's escaped, don't bother with her anymore."

"I've already arranged for people to track her."

"Okay, I understand."

After saying this, Ye Chen just nodded. At this point, he lowered his head and smiled slightly, as if the thing he wanted to do had already started to unfold.

This was something Ye Chen always anticipated, and that woman's escape was entirely within Ye Chen's expectations.

Just then, Ye Chen saw the old man slowly walking over with a few people. As he reached Ye Chen, he just smiled at him.

"Old man, what do you mean? And you don't need to blame the servants. They were unintentional, plus the woman has been in a safe environment for a long time, so if she wants to escape, it's a piece of cake."

"Yes, if she wants to escape, it's indeed easy. But the key problem is, it's not easy to escape from my heavily guarded place unless someone secretly helps her."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen suddenly froze. He originally intended to cover up this matter, but given the old man's reaction, Ye Chen realized some things simply couldn't be concealed any longer.

"Alright, you all can leave."

The old man seemed to have detected that Ye Chen wanted to speak privately. After all, with so many people around, some things were indeed difficult to discuss.

"Old man, I didn't expect you really figured it out."

"What do you think? That old underground cell, I haven't used it for years. But I can tell you, unless she's Superman, she couldn't possibly climb up from there otherwise. Moreover, her escape route targets the areas with weaker security measures. If no one guides her, she could never leave."

"Yes, I guided her and intentionally loosened some areas, so she should've successfully escaped underground."

"But why did you do this? You made a big deal about bringing her back, and now, you brought back another man. Then, suddenly, you let her go. What's your purpose?"

"I just know she has a vendetta against that man, and I want them to resolve it in their own way, so I placed a bet."

"Bet? What bet?"

"My bet is that now, she should have killed that man and will leave us some crucial clues, so her escape is not in vain."

"Can you really be so sure?"

"I'm not 100% sure. But during my interactions with her, I could faintly sense this."

"I must say, you're taking a big risk here. But has she really achieved this?"
