Shen Muqiu, who loved to fight, was very disappointed with this naval battle because it ended hastily in just over an hour.
Mu Chenwu was too weak at sea.
His fleet had been monitored by Yuan Xuan for a long time. Shen Muqiu seemed to be strolling leisurely with his fleet for the past few days, but he was actually lying in wait.
On land, Mu Chenwu was as cunning as a fox. Yuan Xuan had expended a lot of energy in ambushing him for the past two years.
Now that he was out at sea, Mu Chenwu had lost his advantage of fighting on land. He was like a drowning dog, ready to be beaten up at any time!
He had to admit that Yuan Xuan's trick was very effective.
Yuan Xuan's helicopter landed on the platform of the oil field's drilling platform. Upon hearing that the battle at sea had ended, the man fell into deep thought for a moment. His handsome face revealed a sharp aura as he solemnly ordered, "Let Mu Chenwu's ship dock!"
Yan Jun looked nervous. He had never experienced war when the cannon was fired. He had grown up in a peaceful era, so his heart was in his throat.
Yan Jun could not help but feel indignant that Third Young Master Yuan was still very calm even after such a huge commotion.
"Let's go." The man's voice was cold without a trace of warmth. "We should be the host and welcome Young Master Mu at the shore!"
The huge ships surrounded the merchant ship and the Blue Gull. Shen Muqiu's crew jumped onto the deck of the Blue Gull and began to take over by force.
The Blue Gull's crew had never been professionally trained in naval combat. They had also seen their companions' ships being destroyed at the bottom of the sea. Moreover, the enemy's crew was still alive and kicking after being surrounded. They were a group of strong soldiers who were used to fighting on land.
Hence, the crew gathered on the deck, all of them pale with fright.
At this moment, the first ray of red light appeared in the eastern sky. The sun was about to rise.
Mu Chenwu knew that he had lost the battle when he saw the Yuan Family's well-prepared fleet. He closed his eyes and felt the bone-chilling sea breeze. He listened to the cheerful cries of the seabirds. His heart was clear, and he was no longer as excited and panicked as before.
In fact, he had already expected this outcome!
"Young Master Mu, you must be tired from the journey. I missed you so much after not seeing you for so long! "The man's voice was calm and elegant, and there was a subtle smile on his lips.
Mu Chenwu saw that Yuan Xuan's handsome face was becoming clearer in the sea breeze. He even felt as if he had been a lifetime away.
"Third Young Master Yuan, how have you been?"
After two years, this was the first time Mu Chenwu had a direct confrontation with Yuan Xuan. The two of them had been fighting openly and covertly for so long. Not only was this meeting not sudden, but it also felt a little late.
Yuan Xuan could not help but chuckle when he saw that Mu Chenwu's entire body was filled with hostility, but he still maintained a perverse and ruthless appearance under such circumstances. "Mu Chenwu, you're still so calm even when you're at death's door. I really admire your momentum!"
Mu Chenwu slowly walked up the steps of the platform. The two men of similar height came into close contact and looked at each other with sparks in their eyes.
"How did you know that I would attack here?"
Mu Chenwu thought about how he had suffered a defeat here. There was no need to mention the situation at Luo Hai Harbor.
Yuan Xuan did not answer Mu Chenwu's question directly. He stared into Mu Chenwu's eyes as if he could read his mind.
The man smiled faintly. "Not only did I know you would come here, but I also predicted that you would make a move at the harbor."
Yuan Xuan paused as he spoke. A strange expression appeared on Mu Chenwu's face.
"Luo Hai's maritime police have already dispatched their police and seized your two warships. The items on the ships are evidence. Your subordinates have already betrayed you. Therefore, you'll die regardless of whether you return to Luo Hai or not."
Mu Chenwu now knew that if he continued to resist today, Shen Muqiu would sink his warships. His ultimate fate was to be buried in the belly of the fishes.
If he was arrested by them, he would be imprisoned for what he had done.
This was a ruthless move!
Mu Chenwu's entire body ached when he heard this. He gazed into the distance amidst the sea breeze. "So you're saying that you've also destroyed the construction site of the war at Green Smoke Mountain?"
Yuan Xuan must have figured out his background before this. However, Yuan Xuan did not make a move because he did not have solid evidence and he had the advantage of fighting on land.
Yuan Xuan had set a dead end for him by luring him into the sea and establishing evidence of his crimes!
Yuan Xuan's dark eyes flickered with a faint light. He turned around and walked toward a tall building on the platform. His tall figure blurred in the twilight fog.
"Young Master Mu, it's very windy outside. This is not the way to treat a guest!"
How could he be so pretentious at a time like this?
Mu Chenwu gave Yuan Xuan a look of deep disgust and followed behind him.
Yuan Xuan would occasionally come here to inspect and supervise the work. Therefore, the platform had designated an office for him.
The manager of the construction site knew that Yuan Xuan would be coming a few hours ago. He had already boiled water and was waiting for Yuan Xuan to make tea in the neatly tidied office.
Mu Chenwu's attitude was indifferent. He sank into the sofa with a burning gaze. He looked like he had the confidence to confront Yuan Xuan.
Yuan Xuan sat on the spacious leather chair and stared at Mu Chenwu. He pressed the corners of his mouth downwards and his cold eyes were filled with anger.
The chill of late autumn was mixed with the fishy smell of the sea breeze. It seeped through the cracks in the window lattice. It was already past ten o 'clock, but the sea fog outside was getting thicker. It looked like a storm was coming.
The oppressive silence before the storm outside made the two people in the room choose to remain silent at the same time.
The confrontation of two to three years and the deep hatred between them had lasted for more than ten years.
"Yuan Xuan, I don't have much time. If you have something to say, let's finish it quickly."
Mu Chenwu was the first to break the silence. He stared coldly at the man who held supreme power in Luo Hai. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"I've already taken poison before I came ashore. I'll die in an hour. You don't have to do anything."
Mu Chenwu's lips curled into a sinister smile as he spoke.
Yuan Xuan's expression darkened. He had expected that Mu Chenwu would fight to the death with him. However, he did not expect Mu Chenwu to be so unafraid of death that he had chosen a path of no return.
"It'll be too easy for you if you die just like that."
Yuan Xuan's dark eyes were devoid of emotion. He leaned back and continued to speak calmly, "I didn't expect you to have such a backbone."
Mu Chenwu smiled. "Yuan Tangbai and Mu Feng's grudges and lives are between us. I don't expect you to let me go, so why should I be afraid?"
Yuan Xuan gritted his teeth when he heard Yuan Tangbai's name. His body stiffened and he clenched his fists. His ruthless eyes emitted a suffocating hatred.
"You're right. Regardless of whether you took the poison today or not, what awaits you is the same ending!"
"If I die, the Mu Family will be wiped out and you'll have your revenge. Oh, that's not right. You still have Little Chenyan. I heard that she's pregnant with your child? I think she still doesn't know the truth. She loves you so much that she's willing to give birth to your child under these circumstances … "
Mu Chenwu's sinister face smiled mockingly. His eyes were filled with a sense of success.
Yuan Xuan stood up and glared at Mu Chenwu. His voice was calm as he enunciated each word clearly, "You're distorting the truth and twisting the truth in front of Mu Chenyan. Did you tell her that the person who betrayed the country was your father, Mu Feng? He betrayed his superior and the country to achieve his own selfish desires. He colluded with the rebel leader of Xi Fan, Ze Da, and smuggled arms! "
"Because Yuan Tangbai discovered this, Mu Feng had evil intentions and disregarded the interests of the country by going against his superior!"
"Yuan Tangbai's life isn't the only thing between us. There's also the lives of the 3,948 martyrs who were tricked into the countryside in Xi Fan, ambushed, and annihilated!"
Yuan Xuan finished speaking in one breath and stared at Mu Chenwu. The man who was arrogant earlier now had a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
"That's right, my father was the one who betrayed the country. What's the use of loyalty? The Mu Family's military exploits in Xi Fan were outstanding. He was the best commander in the land battle, but he was still suppressed by Yuan Tangbai because he was only an adjutant! "
"When we return to Luo Hai, the Imperial Capital's Order of Commendation will belong to Yuan Tangbai! Also, you don't have to blame everything on the Mu Family. If it wasn't for your second uncle, Yuan Tangzhong's support, Yuan Tangbai wouldn't have been beheaded! "
Yuan Xuan knew that Mu Chenwu's values were not righteous. He had been influenced by Mu Feng since he was young.
Outside the window, the wind and rain were getting heavier as dark clouds loomed overhead. Storms at sea were always stronger than those on land.
The platform was surrounded by the sea. It was abruptly withstanding the raging storm alone. Yuan Xuan had been fighting alone in this storm for more than ten years.
"Mu Chenwu, although you didn't directly participate in the old case of Xi Fan, you've done all sorts of bad things under Mu Feng's leadership all these years. Aren't you going to repent for your father before you die?"
Mu Chenwu suddenly felt dissatisfied when he saw Yuan Xuan looking down at him with the attitude of a victor. His aura was strong and he had a halo of justice around him. The man sneered, "Yuan Xuan, do you think you're the final winner?"
Blood seeped out from the corner of Mu Chenwu's mouth. The poison he had swallowed had quickly ended his short, sinful life. There were some things that he had to say.
Yuan Xuan did not speak. He turned around and faced the direction of the sea.
"When I came here, I was prepared to die. If I succeed today, you'll lose everything. But at least, you'll be able to keep Mu Chenyan."
When Yuan Xuan heard this, he suddenly turned around and asked sternly, "What do you mean?"
Mu Chenwu sneered. The effects of the poison had caused his face to turn ferocious. A gloomy chill permeated between the two of them. "If I fail, you'll win this battle. But you'll … You'll lose Mu Chenyan!"
Yuan Xuan took a step forward and grabbed Mu Chenwu whose body was gradually stiffening on the sofa. He asked loudly, "What did you do to Mu Chenyan?"
Mu Chenwu used the last of his strength to smile at Yuan Xuan and said, "I like to see you scared. You've always had the halo of being the heir of Luo Hai's number one family since you were young, but you also have a dark side that no one knows about …"
The abdominal pain came too suddenly. Large drops of sweat on Mu Chenwu's head soaked through his clothes. He panted heavily and cursed, "F * ck, if I knew this would happen, I would've chosen a stronger poison and put an end to it!"
"You knew Mu Chenyan's identity, but you still fell in love with her … Tell me, aren't you sinister? Are you trying to commit a heinous crime? "
