"Alright, you all can go back and rest now. We'll talk about Wang Qi's situation later."

Upon hearing the voices outside, Fang Yu casually spoke to a few core crew members.

Hearing Fang Yu's words, the core crew members exchanged glances, then sighed softly, reluctantly rising to leave.

Just as the group left, a figure entered Fang Yu's captain's cabin from outside the ship.

This was a thin young man, evidently accustomed to years of sailing at sea, with skin tanned dark and rough by the sun, appearing very simple, much like an ordinary fisher or farmer.

But in reality, Fang Yu knew that this person had another identity, as the Lighthouse Association's contact sent to his side.

Once the young man entered the captain's cabin, he carefully handed a document to Fang Yu, then leaned in to whisper something to him.

Upon hearing the young man's words, Fang Yu nodded, putting the document away and said:

"It's been hard for you. The progress so far is as we expected, but before that, I need to handle a few problems."

Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, the young contact showed no other expression, only asked quietly, "What problems?"

It seemed that for this young man, encountering and dealing with problems was quite an ordinary occurrence.

Fang Yu glanced at the young man before him, then smiled:

"Someone is watching me. There are people who want to sabotage this matter. To handle this smoothly, a few individuals need to be taken out first."

"Taken out? Do you need us to act?"

Although the young man's demeanor was very simple, his tone when speaking was indifferent and professional.

Indeed... professional...

Efficient, accurate, devoid of any personal emotion.

"No need!"

Hearing the young man's words, Fang Yu shook his head slightly, casually said:

"But there are a few things I need you to do for me."

"Prepare a fast ship, the lighter the better, even if it means no modifications for cannons or other weapons."

"I have only one requirement, it must be fast enough!"

"No problem."

The man responded crisply.

"Second, help me investigate the whereabouts of a few individuals. They are..."

After a while, the dark-skinned young man nodded, turned, and was about to leave.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Fang Yu called out to the young man, under his gaze, Fang Yu couldn't help but curiously ask, "What's your name?"

The young man paused, his eyes showing a noticeable emotional fluctuation, then he softly uttered two words: "Qin Yu!"

"Qin Yu..."

Fang Yu was somewhat surprised. This young man, who appeared so simple yet secretly had a hidden identity, had such a refined name.

He lightly repeated it once, then nodded slightly: "Alright, I've noted it down. Off you go!"

Qin Yu nodded, returning to his previous taciturn self, turned around, and left Fang Yu's ship directly.

That night...

A figure quietly stepped out of the captain's cabin under the cover of night.

He carried on his back a... slender stick-like object, which, illuminated by the moonlight, could vaguely be seen as a gun.

A sniper rifle!

This figure moved silently, his presence blending seamlessly with the night, not attracting any attention from anyone.

On Yunjiji Island, there were patrol boats during the night, but they only saw a lightweight boat, which had been granted passage during the day, leaving the island at high speed.

The patrolling soldier was startled, and quickly reported to Li Chongjing.

But after hearing this news, Li Chongjing shook his head, instructing the soldier not to leak this matter.

Everything as usual.

...

"Captain! Captain! Damn, some big news happened!"

"Li Tianyu, ranked 12th on the power list, was assassinated on his way to Qianlin Island by a sniper."

"There was no sound from the ship that night, until the crew found that their employment contracts had expired, they realized Li Tianyu was assassinated in the captain's cabin."

"Damn! That Li Tianyu, the one who tried to intercept the chip as the captain of the Celestial Feather, was assassinated, what a delightful news!"

Several crew members, after getting up in the morning, habitually scrolled through the forum news and were quickly captivated by a hot thread.

"Cargo Vessel Power List's 12th Li Tianyu Sniped in Captain's Cabin, Killer's Identity Unknown"

Upon seeing this post, the crowd's spirits rose, excitement spread across their faces.

Satisfaction!

Such a satisfying moment!

Who was the mastermind who directly assassinated Li Tianyu in his captain's cabin?

That bastard tried hiding behind everyone's back, planning to screw them over, but turns out, he woke up already dead by someone's hand?

Truly satisfying!

The crew on the Salted Fish exchanged cheerful glances, feeling elated and content.

An enemy, suddenly and inexplicably died in his own captain's cabin.

This good news must be shared with the captain at all costs.

The group hurriedly made their way to the captain's cabin, knocking on Fang Yu's door.

But to their surprise...

Despite knocking for a long time, there was no response from inside, no one opened the door.

"No one in the captain's cabin? The captain isn't there..."

The group was puzzled, exchanging confused glances, scratching their heads in bewilderment.

"What's going on? Where did the captain go so early in the morning?"

"Could there be some situation? Doesn't seem right. If there was, the captain would definitely be piloting the Salted Fish..."
