I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 943: Taking the Bait

At the very least, let her find a sense of existence, instead of standing like an idle person, unable to do anything.

"Alright, don't worry. She's a grown-up now, and besides, there's no danger in this village during the day. Those people haven't arrived yet, so there shouldn't be any issues."

When Lin Yaru walked out, Anying saw that Ye Chen was standing at the cave entrance, gazing in that direction, seemingly seeing her off as she left the deep mountains.

"Hehe, it's nothing. I just feel a bit worried about letting her do this alone."

"What's there to worry about? It's not like she's committing murder or arson, or doing anything else. You should just stay here peacefully. I want to tell you, I'm worried those people are well prepared for tomorrow."

"Well prepared?"

"Exactly, I fear they might bring a lot of people, or some unknown things, which would make it more troublesome for just the two of us. Moreover, involving a village might create unrest, and I'm worried the innocent villagers could get entangled."

"I don't think that will happen. I only told them about an offline meeting, and we just want to discuss some things. At least for now, they shouldn't be suspicious of me, so it should be fine."

"In principle, there shouldn't be a problem, but I'm concerned about other unforeseen events. Anyway, we should be prepared in advance."

While they were talking, suddenly they heard the beep of the communication equipment.

Ye Chen just turned to glance at it and saw that the light was flashing frequently.

"Something's wrong, someone wants to speak with you directly."

At that moment, Anying seemed to immediately understand what was going on.

"What do you mean? Who wants to talk to me?"

"I'm not sure who it is, but judging from this, it's likely someone from your group. However, if you respond, won't they recognize your voice?"

"What should I do? If I keep not answering, will they become suspicious?"

"Yes, it'll definitely raise suspicions."

"Then, what should we do now?"

"At this point, there's no other way. You'll have to say you're his subordinate helping with tasks while he's handling other matters. Make it sound as critical as possible to make them believe you."

"Isn't there any better way?"

"Not really, none of us considered this situation. If they intend to establish communication, there's no way to truly satisfy all these demands."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded. Regardless, he had to press on, otherwise, there would be no room to maneuver.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and then pressed the button, establishing direct dialogue.

"Hello, how's the situation over there?"

A deep voice came over the receiver.

Ye Chen worriedly glanced back at Anying. Honestly, he still felt a bit restless and wasn't sure if he could handle it all smoothly.

"He just went out. I'm here preparing other matters."

Ye Chen calmly said a sentence, then there was a sudden silence on the other end.

"Who...who are you?"

"I'm the one responsible for surveillance in this village. He had to step out to handle something, told me to hold the fort."

"What? He left? Didn't he do anything?"

"No, reportedly some urgent matters arose from the Lin Family, and he needed to personally investigate the situation, but he'll be back soon. I could have him call you back when he returns."

"No need, just tell him I've already gathered intelligence confirming unexpected developments at the Lin Family, meaning their information is very accurate. Tell him to be fully prepared, as I'll arrive early tomorrow."

"Okay, got it. Anything else you need me to do?"

"No, for now focus on ensuring your position is secure. Is everything safe?"

"Yes, everything is safe, and nothing should arouse suspicion. Everything is conducted covertly, so there shouldn't be major issues."

"Alright, both of you be cautious and prioritize safety. Lastly, let's keep in touch by phone."

With that, the other party quickly hung up the call.

Ye Chen finally ended this call and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Looks like we've managed to handle this; at least they don't seem suspicious of anything."

"Great, I almost blacked out from all this. You don't realize how nervous I was, worried they'd ask him to call back once he returns."

"Usually, they wouldn't. Since they connected this communication method, it's proof they're close to him, and they've had on-site meetings before, so they shouldn't doubt his identity."

"That's good. If so, our worries were probably unnecessary. Now, let's see the news from the old man—it should be spreading."

"Yes, otherwise, he wouldn't be so certain about this news. Once confirmed, they'll treat it seriously and ensure speedy dealings tomorrow."

"Looks like tomorrow will be exciting—though not sure how it'll turn out or if they can help my plans go smoothly."

"I hope so. Also, should we set some traps here to prevent unforeseen incidents?"
