Ye Hao nodded, then led Xue Zhaolong and the others to jump into the Hebu River and enter Submarine No.2 to leave.

There were more than ten people when they came, but only six when they left. Ye Hao sighed inwardly; as the empire developed faster, the brothers had to run around everywhere. Perhaps they would only have the chance to gather all together when the empire reached its peak.

On the way back, Ye Hao controlled Submarine No.2 to head to the Strait of Malacca. He silently noted the several major navy bases there. If one day, the United States really forced Huaxia's merchant ships to be unable to pass through here, Ye Hao wouldn't mind blowing it up again, letting these self-proclaimed world police meet their God!

"Boss, what are you looking at?" Xue Zhaolong asked, watching Ye Hao make markings on a map.

"Just checking how many navy bases the United States has set up in the Strait of Malacca," Ye Hao replied with a smile.

"Boss, you aren't thinking about blowing up those bases again, are you?" Zhuorong Town asked, wide-eyed.

"Blowing them up would be getting off easy. After all, it's been said that the Americans in the Strait of Malacca often make it difficult for our Huaxia merchant ships to pass," Lu Yunsong said, not thinking there was any difficulty in blowing up the U.S. navy bases in the Strait of Malacca and even offering support.

"Haha, I'm just recording them for now. We'll see about the future later," Ye Hao replied with a smile. Once he had memorized enough, Ye Hao maneuvered Submarine No.2 into the South Sea, heading straight for Treasure Island. Although passing through the South Sea gave Ye Hao the option to detour to Lingding Ocean and Peng City,

Ye Hao felt time was too tight because his college life was about to start soon. He needed to take Duke of Thunder's sister, Lei Ting, away first, or later he would have no time to go to Treasure Island.

Another reason was to prevent Duke of Thunder from overthinking in Pakistan. After all, with so many terrorists there, if anything went wrong with Duke of Thunder, resulting in being ambushed and killed, it would lead to losses.

Submarine No.2 entered the East Sea from the South Sea, then detoured to Taipei's Keelung Port.

Once there, Ye Hao had Xue Zhaolong and the others guard Submarine No.2 while he took Zheng Guang toward Taipei City.

Ye Hao looked at the slip of paper given by Duke of Thunder, which read East Garden Street, near Taiwan University in Treasure Island Taipei. This was a place belonging to the Bamboo Union Gang's North City Hall, with East Garden Street being essentially the main hall of Treasure Island's North City Hall.

Ye Hao and Zheng Guang boarded a vehicle heading to Taipei.

Ye Hao took out his phone and dialed Lei Ting's number.

At that moment, in Lei Ting's villa on East Garden Street, a nanny named Bao Ma heard the phone ring and hurried to answer it.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" Bao Ma asked politely to the person looking for Lei Ting. After all, Lei Ting was the princess of the Treasure Island Black Sect! People looking for her were either quite powerful or from prestigious families. Such people were not ones she, as a nanny, could afford to offend, so she answered the call very courteously.

"I'm looking for Lei Ting," Ye Hao said.

"Miss Lei is planting flowers in the garden. Do you want me to tell Miss Lei now or later, and then have her return your call?" Bao Ma asked.

"No need." Ye Hao hung up after speaking, as he was merely checking if Lei Ting was at the villa or not.

Bao Ma heard the beeping sound and had no choice but to hang up the call herself. Meanwhile, at a location in North City Hall, there were a dozen eavesdropping devices.

Among them, a few people were monitoring Lei Ting's call audio. When they heard someone connecting to Lei Ting's phone, they immediately reported it to Master Zhou Ye of the North City Hall.

"Master Zhou, someone just connected with Miss Lei's phone, but they said a few words then hung up." The person monitoring Lei Ting's calls reported via phone to Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye, currently discussing matters with Lei Bao, responded on the phone, "Keep a close watch, and if any stranger appears, whoever they are, capture them first."

"Yes, Master." The underlings, hearing Zhou Ye's instructions, hung up and went to make arrangements.

"What's going on?" Lei Bao asked calmly from his seat at the head.

Currently, with Lei Long absent, Lei Bao essentially controlled the entire Bamboo Union Gang of Treasure Island. So he wasn't particularly interested in those looking for Lei Ting. Of course, if Duke of Thunder came, he would definitely make a move to capture him. Only by crushing Duke of Thunder underfoot would his father, Lei Long, recognize his abilities.

"Mr. Lei, someone connected with Miss Lei's phone, but after exchanging a few words, they hung up," Zhou Ye said respectfully.

In the past, before Lei Bao controlled the Bamboo Union Gang, he was extremely friendly to them, but now that he had command, his attitude had significantly cooled, appearing indifferent. Zhou Ye even regretted whether partnering with Lei Bao was the wrong choice.

"Hmm! Keep a close watch. By the way, you mentioned earlier there's a kind of ore found in Penghu Bay..." Lei Bao, upon hearing about his sister from Zhou Ye, wasn't interested. His focus was not on family matters but on gaining control over all of Treasure Island, becoming the godfather of the Black Sect like his father, Lei Long.

...

Upon learning that Lei Ting was on East Garden Street, Ye Hao, along with Zheng Guang, set off for the destination immediately.

East Garden Street was heavily surveilled, packed with cameras to the point where no blind spots existed. To enter Lei Ting's villa on East Garden Street would mean coming under scrutiny.

However, Ye Hao had no other choice. Still, before entering East Garden Street, he slightly adjusted his appearance.

"Elder Zheng, wait outside for me. If anyone tries to stop me, I'll bring her out, and you'll cover us," Ye Hao, disguised as a delivery man with a blue sun hat, instructed.

"Young master, be careful," Zheng Guang nodded from a small van, which they had acquired along the way as camouflage.

"Hmm!" Ye Hao nodded, holding a box and walking into East Garden Street.

Initially, no one paid him attention, as many residents lived on East Garden Street, and deliveries were commonplace. Thus, he passed the first checkpoint safely.

This checkpoint's scrutiny increased with proximity to Lei Ting's villa, with more eyes watching the closer one got.

Ye Hao was aware of the civilians lurking nearby, but these ordinary people posed no threat, so he remained calm along his path.

However, as Ye Hao approached two villas away from Lei Ting's villa, a few people resembling members of the Bamboo Union Gang emerged from the pathways beside the villas.

"Hey, you, come here!" The few people ordered, noticing Ye Hao's seemingly honest demeanor.

"What for?" Ye Hao pretended to be slightly apprehensive as he cautiously approached and asked.

"What are you here for?" they interrogated Ye Hao.

"I... I'm here to deliver a package, do you... do you know where Block A, Building 18 is?" Ye Hao asked, feigning vulnerability.

"You're delivering a package to Miss Lei?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
