The Houhai Bay at this moment has already been blocked off by a coalition of wealthy elites, preventing others from entering the sea area. There are even strict orders in place forbidding anyone in the surrounding seas from going into the water…

Although they are businessmen and don't have that much authority, they have money, and money can make the world go round. With just one phone call, they can make some local government officials jump to serve them, clearing away any obstacles to the rich enjoying their games.

Take the current Luminous Pearl incident, for example. After a fisherman salvaged it and some experts talked about it, several media outlets ramped up publicity to attract attention. This drew numerous wealthy individuals who all wanted their people to personally dive into the sea and retrieve a few Luminous Pearls just for fun. Of course! They didn't actually need someone to go do the retrieving; they could easily purchase the pearls from renowned jewelry companies, they just wanted the novelty.

As night passed and dawn gradually broke, Zhang Fu arranged for people to deliver the yacht, along with several sets of diving suits and oxygen tanks, to Celestial Paradise Coast beach. These diving suits were nothing ordinary; each set cost tens of thousands and could withstand deep-sea pressure. There was no worry about them being crushed by the water pressure when diving too deep.

This was all arranged by Lin Ruyu, and only because of her, Zhang Fu paid so much attention and spent heavily on these diving suits. If it were just anyone asking, he would casually throw a few thousand yuan for them to get some cheap stuff.

Ye Hao stretched lazily, took a deep breath, and picked up the phone to call Xue Zhaolong and the others.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, how's everything? Is the matter settled?"

As soon as the call connected, Xue Zhaolong asked from the other end.

"If you want to find something good quickly, then come over fast. I don't have time to wait for you guys. I'm giving you half an hour to get to the beach at Celestial Paradise Coast, or I'll go alone." Ye Hao said with a smile, not boasting about his ability to gather so much equipment, because it was all thanks to Lin Ruyu.

"Alright! Be there soon." As Xue Zhaolong finished speaking, the sound of three sports cars honking came from below Lin Ruyu's villa.

Ye Hao cursed inwardly, damn it, trying to kill me, honking so early in the morning. If Miss Lin wakes up, she won't spare you guys.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao didn't have time to use the stairs; he jumped directly. But as he reached the door, he was dumbstruck because the three of them were being held at gunpoint by seven or eight bodyguards, with the look of "move again and you're dead."

Ye Hao quickly approached, smiling as he said, "Hehe, it's all right, they are here to find me, you can lower your guns!"

"Yes, Mr. Ye." The security bodyguards respectfully put away their guns and went back to their posts.

Ye Hao looked at them helplessly. He had previously told Lin Tian that he hoped the guards wouldn't call him young master, as it felt awkward. Why was he being addressed like that?

But Lin Tian merely said, you're not the young master of the Lin Family, but you can be the young master of the Ye Family! You're protecting my daughter, so you should have a grand title. Mr. Ye is quite fitting.

What could Ye Hao say at that moment? He could only shrug and go along with Lin Tian's arrangement, which resulted in all the guards outside respectfully calling him Mr. Ye.

"Why did you guys get here so fast?" Ye Hao curiously looked at the three disheveled individuals.

"Mr. Ye, you don't know! Last night the three of us drank too much and couldn't sleep, thinking about making a quick buck. So after you left, we followed along, but were warned by the guards not to make noise, so we slept in the car overnight. When you called me, I wanted to surprise you, so I honked a few times. Unexpectedly, these guards immediately pulled out guns and dragged us out of the car; they searched us thoroughly except they didn't strip us naked! Damn!" Xue Zhaolong said indignantly, wondering what kind of crazy bodyguards were these, being so sensitive to just a honk!

"Haha! It's lucky they didn't shoot you." Ye Hao laughed heartily, considering that being allowed to carry guns wherever they were was quite a privilege.

If they charged you with attempting to assault Lin Tian, that would have been disastrous!

"Would they really dare to shoot?" Lu Yunsong shivered with fear.

"Nonsense, it's authorized by the United Nations for them to carry guns wherever they go. Killing you would be nothing to them. Next time, just come over, no need to attract attention by honking." Ye Hao smirked.

"Wow, Ruyu's dad is really something else!" Xue Zhaolong said sincerely. Although his own father was one of the top tycoons in Peng City, compared to Lin Tian, he felt his dad was still thousands of miles behind!

"Alright, alright! No need to be salty, if you want to hunt for treasure, leave the cars at Ruyu's place first!" With that, Ye Hao led them to drive into the yard, and after giving some instructions to the bodyguards, he took Lu Yunsong and the other two to run toward the beach.

"Mr. Ye, where's your yacht?" As the four of them ran, Zhuorong Town asked with a smile, wondering if Mr. Ye's yacht would be rowed by hand.

"I don't know either, Elder Fu arranged it, it should be somewhere past the beach!" Ye Hao laughed.

The trio became puzzled. The beach was so expansive, yet not a single person was in sight? Moreover, the area was cordoned off?

"Don't be puzzled, this sea area was cordoned off by Uncle Lin. You can also say it's my territory, haha." Ye Hao laughed heartily, looking at the three.

The three looked at Ye Hao, utterly perplexed, wondering what he meant by that.

"Are you trying to become the son-in-law of the Lin Family?" Xue Zhaolong asked, somewhat sarcastically, though there wasn't much embarrassment on his face. Some things he could see clearly—what's not his can't be forced.

"What are you thinking? Lin Ruyu and I have an employer-bodyguard relationship. As for why Lin wants to give me this beach and the fifty kilometers of sea ahead, I have no idea why..." Ye Hao shook his head, also indicating he didn't understand what was going on.

"Holy crap! The fifty miles of sea ahead is yours too?"

"Really? The fifty miles of sea ahead is really yours?"

"Whoa! The fifty miles of sea ahead is really yours?"

The three of them cast incredulous and puzzled glances. How grand a gesture must it be to gift such a vast beach and fifty miles of sea?

"Don't doubt my words, I ain't bragging." Ye Hao glared at them, but seeing the yacht ahead, he couldn't be bothered to explain and ran straight over.

When Xue Zhaolong and the others saw the yacht, they all gasped. Wasn't this the Aegean Sea yacht from Greece? It easily costs around three hundred thousand, and domestically it's very scarce. How did Mr. Ye manage to get one overnight? It truly amazed them.

"Greek..." Lu Yunsong nervously pointed at the yacht, trying to make a shocking comment.

"Screw Greece, help push it into the sea." Ye Hao glared at him and, together with Xue Zhaolong and the others, forcefully pushed the yacht into the water.

"Okay..." Lu Yunsong also eagerly followed along to push it.

Once the submarine was pushed into the sea, they sat on the yacht and saw the diving equipment, and they were shocked again. This was the kind of high-quality stuff they could only afford with a month's living expenses! Previously, they didn't dare dive deep into the sea with their gear fearing its quality. Seeing such top-tier equipment now, how could they not be delighted?

"Mr. Ye, you are incredible." Lu Yunsong gave Ye Hao a thumbs up, praising him.

Ye Hao pursed his lips, ignored him, and started fiddling with the yacht.

Zhuorong Town watched Ye Hao skillfully handle the various switches on the yacht, stunned. Although they had money, they didn't know much about the Greek-made Aegean Sea yacht. Watching Ye Hao, it was as if he knew everything.

"Vroooom~~~" The yacht roared after Ye Hao tinkered with it for a bit.

Once everything was ready, two lovely figures appeared on the sand behind them. Ye Hao hurriedly shouted not good. If he took these two ladies out to sea, where would there be time to fish for the Luminous Pearl—and sightseeing would be more likely.

Ye Hao quickly fiddled around, and the yacht shot out like an arrow...

Leaving the two women stunned in place, not knowing what Ye Hao was doing. After thinking it over, they understood and loudly cursed at the rapidly departing yacht: "Ye Hao, you bastard, heartless, bastard flocking to men and ignoring women." Lin Ruyu stomped on the sand furiously.

"Ye, so bad. Is he upset with us? Hmph, we didn't even come to him. Yuyu, quickly ask the person on the phone why they're looking for Ye!" Su Qing snorted, then realized they almost forgot the main issue.

"Oh right, hang on." Lin Ruyu said and picked up Ye Hao's phone, asking the person on the other end: "Sorry! Ye Hao just went out to sea, and they didn't take their phones, so what urgent matter do you have to find them?"

There was a brief silence on the other end, then a woman's voice came through, though the tone was a bit urgent.

"He's out then, do you know roughly when he'll return? Does it take a week?"

"Shouldn't take that long. He said three days. Why don't you tell me your name and what's so urgent with him?" Lin Ruyu asked politely, not getting angry at the female caller for finding Ye Hao. She wasn't a petty employer, and she could hear the urgency in the woman's voice.

"My name is Fang Ni, as for the urgent matter, it's not convenient to discuss it with you. But please tell Ye Hao when he returns that there has been a change concerning Ye Long, and ask him to contact me promptly, okay?" Fang Ni, though anxious, didn't forget her manners.

"Oh! You're Sister Fang Ni? I've often heard Ye Hao mention you. No problem, I'll let him know to call you as soon as he returns." Lin Ruyu agreed, realizing who Fang Ni was—she had seen her at the Yanjing airport before.

"Thank you, Miss Lin, please ensure he contacts me immediately." Fang Ni finished speaking and hung up.

In her heart, she silently prayed, hoping her father could secure some support for Ye Long in Team A...
