Mu Chenwu knew about Yuan Tangzhong's failure at the Yuan Family's banquet. He knew that he would be the next one to suffer if he did not act.
He had gathered nearly a thousand subordinates, all of whom were outlaws and outlaws.
Such a large underground team would be a huge target in the war construction site of Green Smoke Mountain. They would be easily discovered.
They could escape Yuan Xuan's pursuit with the help of the second son of the Yuan Family. Now that they had lost their protection, hiding here would be akin to sitting ducks.
The elites from Capital City that Shao Yibai brought along were stationed near the Yuan Family Mansion in the name of accompanying Shao Yibai on horseback riding, shooting, and having fun. Moreover, Yuan Xuan had done his best to secure the mansion. There were many hidden sentries protecting the perimeter.
Mu Chenwu's target was Yuan Xuan's oil field in the South China Sea.
Most of the Yuan Family's financial and material resources were concentrated there. Moreover, this was a national project. If Yuan Xuan lost that platform, he would not be able to make a comeback in Luo Hai or even in the country.
Therefore, Mu Chenwu's target was the South China Sea oil field and the Yuan Family's ships that entered and left the port from the beginning.
However, Yuan Xuan was meticulous. He treated his ships' entry and exit routes as business secrets. This was enough to show how much he valued the oil field.
Mu Chenyan naturally did not know how much effort Mu Chenwu had put into the document she gave him.
Dawn at the East
The tranquil port woke up from the cold morning wind.
On the horizon, Shen Muqiu watched as the helmsman adjusted the direction of the ship. Meanwhile, the man lay lazily on the deck of the yacht. He watched the seagulls chasing the ship in the sky while he poured himself a glass of red wine with his legs crossed.
This feeling of having the sky as the roof and the earth as the roof, and having the world so quiet that only one person was left was simply too good.
Shen Muqiu narrowed his eyes. He thought about how the Yuan Family was the only one in Luo Hai who could deploy a fleet that could be used for both military and commercial purposes.
Shen Muqiu had a dream when he was young. He wanted to sail a yacht, find a route, and explore an uninhabited island.
However, the location of the uninhabited island was not good, and there were many undercurrents. Only experienced sailors could sail a sturdy ship. Therefore, the dream of his youth was put on hold day after day.
However, his restless nature did not change. As one of the oldest seafaring nations in the world, during his years of exile in England, he had learned a lot of sailing techniques and tactics from England.
"Mr. Shen, are you sure Mu Chenwu will start from this route?" The captain followed Shen Muqiu on the sea for a few days. He did not know what Third Young Master Yuan's friend was waiting for.
Shen Muqiu's fleet consisted of four light ships of medium tonnage and a huge ship of large tonnage.
The advanced weapons made these six ships look like ordinary merchant ships, but in reality, they could transform in an instant. One of them could fight against ten ships, forming a small ambush fleet.
"I'm not sure!"
Shen Muqiu shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile.
Captain, "…"
Yuan Xuan only said that the fleet would be on standby for the next few days. He did not specify when they would take action or where they would be. The South China Sea was so big. When would the Young Master of the Shen family bring them around?
The captain watched Shen Muqiu leisurely and contented as he sipped his wine and looked at the sky. He could not help but feel a little depressed.
Shen Muqiu held his binoculars and looked at the sea for a while. Finally, he saw four ships with the Blue Gulls logo slowly sailing along the designated route.
The man did a carp flip and jumped up. He waved his hand at the captain and ordered in a deep voice, "Follow those four Blue Gulls! Our six ships will flank them from the outside. Follow the formation I arranged for you earlier. Don't let them discover you and don't get too close. "
Shen Muqiu's fleet consisted of about a hundred crew members on each ship. Some of them were elites that he had brought with him, while the rest were experienced sailors that Yuan Xuan had assigned to him.
A group of men gathered together. They could not help but rub their palms together when they heard that they were about to take action.
The two ships looked like ordinary merchant ships. However, they had deviated from the normal route, which was not in line with the requirements of maritime navigation.
Moreover, they were sailing very slowly. They were even a little cautious. It was no wonder that Shen Muqiu had become excited from his lazy state.
They used satellite phones to communicate on the sea. On Yuan Xuan's side, a helicopter took off from the port's airport. He wanted to meet his resourceful brother-in-law, who had been dealing with him in Luo Hai for two years.
Mu Chenwu's ship did not encounter any obstacles after sailing for almost an hour.
He could not help but feel a little excited.
He had made arrangements at the port. The cruise ship that carried two containers of special fire bricks would come into close contact with the Yuan Family's oil field fleet before they docked at the port.
By then, everyone in Luo Hai would know that the Yuan Family's fleet had made a mistake due to poor management at the South China Sea port, which resulted in an explosion when it collided with the cruise ship.
He would need to know the specific purpose, time, route, and pattern of all the ships that entered and left Zhong Heng International.
He would personally lead the team at the offshore platform. The four merchant ships had come prepared.
He wanted to destroy Yuan Xuan's economic lifeline so that the Yuan Family in Luo Hai would never be able to rise again. Not only was the Yuan Family involved in this oil field, but the Capital City's Shao Family was also behind it.
"Young Master, a few medium-sized cargo ships have been following us. I feel uneasy about this operation. Why do you want to follow us personally? Just wait for our news at the coast! "
The butler who had been by Mu Chenwu's side for many years found it difficult to understand Mu Chenwu's madness.
They did not need Mu Chenwu to personally go against the Yuan Family. However, this Eldest Young Master seemed a little too stubborn.
"Uncle Li, you don't understand. This is a contest between me and Yuan Xuan! "
Mu Chenwu's entire body was filled with hostility. His gloomy eyes looked at the sea where the sky and the sea met. The wind and waves rolled the seawater, forming turbulent waves. The man smiled coldly. "With the Mu Family's wealth, I can hide in a city where no one knows me and drag out an ignoble existence for the rest of my life.
"However, I won't be satisfied with that kind of life. Do you understand?"
The old butler had been by Mu Feng's side for many years. The Mu Family's glory in the past was as desolate as it was ruined later on. The Eldest Young Mistress was left in prison, and the Mistress lost consciousness in a car accident.
Mu Chenwu fled in panic with Mu Feng. They hid here and there for more than half a year. Mu Feng had cancer, but he could only heal himself at the war construction site, which was equivalent to waiting for death.
This desolate situation made Mu Chenwu's heart drop so much that he even became crazy. Therefore, Mu Chenwu had spent all his energy on revenge for the past few years.
The second son of the Yuan Family gave them support. On one hand, it limited Yuan Xuan's power and created panic. On the other hand, Yuan Tangzhong did not dare to challenge Yuan Xuan directly. After all, Yuan Xuan was a businessman, but he had a strong military force behind him. Therefore, they wanted to use the Mu Family to eliminate Yuan Xuan.
However, Yuan Tangzhong's wishful thinking was in vain. It was as if Guan Yu had left Maicheng.
"You guys might have completed the mission even if I didn't come personally. In the worst case scenario, even if we were to die at sea today, I wouldn't back down. If I live, I want to see the Yuan Family destroyed. If I die, I won't hide in a corner and be miserable! "
Mu Chenwu smiled sinisterly as he said this.
The old butler sighed and turned to look at the fleet. The three ships here carried special fire bricks to blow up the three platforms of the Yuan Family's offshore oil field.
Shen Muqiu's fleet followed them for a while. As they got closer to the drilling platforms in the South China Sea, the three ships began to split up and head straight for the three platforms.
Shen Muqiu confirmed that these were Mu Chenwu's ships. The corners of his mouth twitched as he sneered. Yuan Xuan's prediction was not wrong. It seemed like this guy was a master at playing tricks.
Shen Muqiu could not help but feel disappointed when he saw the situation of these ships. "You guys might have experience fighting on land, but you're still lacking when it comes to sea. I thought that we could fight a big battle, but it turns out that it's just a toy. How boring!"
Shen Muqiu ordered the captain to intercept the three ships that were confirmed to have explosives according to their previous arrangements. If they resisted, they would immediately sink them!
The warcry was raised. Smoke quickly formed between the ten ships on the sea.
Shen Muqiu's fleet sent out a signal to force the Blue Gulls to stop.
Mu Chenwu did not expect Yuan Xuan to make such arrangements.
He thought that he had done a good job in keeping his operation a secret. Moreover, Yuan Xuan did not transfer Shao Yibai back to Capital City to deal with Yuan Tangzhong's remaining forces. The one who led the fleet to ambush him must be Yuan Xuan's forces overseas.
Mu Chenwu thought about the few times he had clashed with this force in Luo Hai. Even with his father's rich experience in fighting on land, he had not been able to take advantage of them. Now that they had met again, it was useless to admit defeat.
At this point, even if he were to die, he would die a glorious death. He ordered his subordinates, "Don't waste your time talking to them. Attack with the mortars!"
The old butler was frightened when he heard this. If they took the initiative to attack, the other party would definitely retaliate. Their ship carried explosive fire bricks …
"Young Master, this is like throwing an egg against a rock!" The old butler could see that the situation was not good. The other party had obviously come prepared. Their operation had been exposed.
"You should leave with the people on this ship first. I'll stay here and command." The old butler wanted to leave a descendant of the Mu Family alive. He wanted to do his best to protect his master's only child.
Mu Chenwu laughed maniacally. "I'm not afraid of Yuan Xuan if he wants to kill us all. I still have a trick up my sleeve. I'll drag Mu Chenyan down with me!"
When Shen Muqiu's fleet sent out a signal, the other party returned the favor with a battleship mortar.
"Damn it, how dare they attack first! Attack them! Attack them as hard as you can! "
It was late autumn. The ink-black seawater glowed with a faint blue light.
The two fleets fought fiercely for an hour. In the end, Mu Chenwu's two Blue Gulls were sunk while Shen Muqiu's two medium-sized ships were severely damaged.
The other Blue Gulls, which were filled with fire bricks, gave up resisting. They raised a white flag and surrendered. Shen Muqiu's fleet quickly surrounded Mu Chenwu's ship.
"Young Master Mu, put down your weapons and surrender immediately. Third Young Master Yuan has been waiting for you on the platform for a long time!"
Shen Muqiu sent a signal to the Blue Gulls through the radio loudspeaker.
Mu Chenwu sneered, "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit. Please lead the way!"
