Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 477: Seize the Initiative 1

    

n't let go!"She felt her last shred of modesty ripped away, and rushed toward the tape recorder on the table. But Ripple beat her to it, scooping it up and putting it back in the canvas bag."Softly, y...Hearing the ripple's words, those who came rushing from the stern of the yacht were stunned. Everyone gripped their weapons, but hesitated to make a move, clearly weighing the pros and cons, especially after Ripple decisively took out the boss and his most trusted bodyguard.

"You think you're favored by Zeng Hongliang, but in reality, he brought you here to die."

The ripples continued to drop another bomb, she bet Zeng Hongliang definitely didn't tell these people his plan, knowing that the estimated number of people involved in this operation was probably just his closest bodyguards.

"To find out if I'm telling the truth or not, just ask this fellow, Hui Ge, standing beside me. Then you'll know if I'm lying."

The muzzle of the ripple gun was pointed at Hui Ge, who she had mentioned. The other party glared at her with fury on their face.

"Hmph! You want to be the boss, so you deliberately set this up!"

With a thud, Hui Ge fell to the ground, a cluster of blood blooming on his brow. Then there was a ringing chorus of gun cocking sounds all around.

Both the Lion and Gong Fan were astonished by this ripple's operation, their spirits became highly tense. In this kind of atmosphere, it was easy for a chaotic battle to break out. Although they wore bulletproof vests, they weren't invulnerable.

So, as the two tightened their grips on their weapons, they also advanced another two steps towards Ripples. They watched in six directions and listened in eight, ready at any moment to pounce and protect her safety.

And Ripples, with a face of serene calm, mimicked Yun Yi's coldness and ruthlessness perfectly. Then, she pointed her gun at the other foreign bodyguard, second only to Brother Hui, and said coldly:

"Jenny, it's your turn now."

Jenny was a bodyguard brought in from America by Zeng Hongliang, and she was also a tough character. However, this person was a typical American. Seeing that his boss was dead, he spoke very politely in broken Chinese:

"Boss Zeng this time planned for you to be the vanguard, bringing the single, short, and Wednesday family's bosses to meet on the open sea. He'll leave their lives at sea and have you take on this shipment from Europe. After that, you'll be of no use to him anymore."

Have you all heard We're going to take down the three family bosses. Do you think they'll just sit there and wait for death They won't, they'll need your lives to fight back! How likely do you think you are to make it back alive This is open sea. After you die, your bodies will be thrown into the water, no one will ever find them, just like Zeng Hongliang.

Ripple said coldly.

People on the yacht exchanged glances, considering the truth behind the ripples' words.

"What's in it for us if we follow Yun Jie"

Someone spoke up, after all, this concerned their own interests.

First, you will all live to return to shore. Second, if you support me as your leader, I will make you earn twice as much as you do now. Third, you cannot be thugs for life. I will promote and cultivate you, allowing you to become the backbone of the group.

The ripples begin to paint a grand picture.

"Why should we believe you"

"I have the ability to take down Zeng Hongliang, I have the ability to find sources in Europe, and I have the ability to win over the bosses of the other three families."

Ripple clearly sensed the looseness of these people, so the answer she gave became more and more certain.

Jenny shrugged indifferently and said directly:

“All I need is for you to settle the bodyguard's final payment. Once I have the money, I'll go back home. I haven't been feeling well here; your bodyguards are really strong.”

Although Jenny's words were a bit strange, her meaning was clear. As the former boss's bodyguard, all she wanted was to get paid and leave.

Moreover, an insider like Jenny could tell from the moment Lion and Gong Fan boarded the yacht that they weren't ordinary people; they had just as many lives on their hands as she did.

Ripple suddenly attacked, he didn't have time to save him, and with the presence of those two bodyguards, he chose to avoid conflict.

"Okay, no problem. Besides what Zeng Hongliang promised you, I'll give you another severance package."

Ripple said very generously.

With Jenny leading the way, the rest of them could only temporarily suppress their uneasiness. At this time, Old Dan's boat also came alongside.

Dan Lao Da was a thin, wizened old man with a face full of wrinkles. His eyes were particularly sinister. He glanced at the corpses on the yacht, his eyes flickering, especially when he saw Lian Ri, where a disdainful look flashed in his eyes.

Ripple let out a cold snort. The lion and Gong Fan beside her exchanged glances, immediately stepped forward, standing by her side. Gong Fan then spoke in a low voice:

"Don't act rashly, he has many people with him, it's not easy to get close. We can't protect you."

Both were afraid that Ripple would strike again, so they took the initiative and acted as if they were protecting her, but in reality, they were preparing for her to make another sudden move.

"Where's Old Brother Zeng"

The old man stood at the bow of the ship and shouted.

"Lao Dan, there's no need to look for him. I've already thrown Zeng Hongliang into the sea to feed the fish. From now on, I call the shots in our business."

Ripples played with the gun in her hand, saying softly.

You're bold to even think about taking down your own boss!

The old man glared menacingly, and immediately the people around him pointed their guns at Ripple and the people on the yacht.

What's there to be afraid of I found this shipment, and I negotiated this shipping route with the European side. Even Zeng Hongliang wants to take it for himself, so what about what I put in

Moreover, Zeng Hongliang didn't have any good intentions from the start. He not only invited you but also invited the eldest sons of the Jian and Zhou families. Don't tell me you don't know that.

Ripples said slowly.

The people on the yacht, seeing the gun pointed at them, instinctively aimed their own guns at Old Man Li. In an instant, they were in sync with the ripples.

When Lao Dan heard this, his eyes flashed, and he immediately changed his expression, smiling and saying:

"Word on the street is that you, Yun Yi, are Zeng Hongliang's most trusted and capable assistant. It seems that's true now. Just didn't expect you to take his place at this time."

"Lao Dan, I, Yun Yi, won't beat around the bush. As long as you support me becoming the head of the Zeng Group, I can give up my share of this batch of arms, and I can even guarantee that you guys can continue to get better sources from Europe in the future. How about it"

Then Old Man Dan smiled and said:

Then you get on my boat, and we can talk things over properly.

"Good!"

Ripple hesitated not at all; with only the lion and Gong Fan, she boarded Lao Dan’s boat.

Before leaving, he gave the order directly.

"You continue to travel according to the coordinates, I will make Lao Dan's ship sink behind you."

Yes, Yun Jie!

These people quickly changed their identities and immediately responded.

The lion and Gong Fan both broke out in a cold sweat. They used their satellite phones to message Lu Maolu and Xuansi who were following behind, then they stuck closely to Lian Yi's heels and boarded Lao Dan's boat.

"The young generation is formidable. We old folks are getting old, and it's time to give you our place."

After Lao Dan sat down, he began to act his age, trying to assert authority while also probing Liàn Yī.

"Lao Dan, you're wrong to say that. Every profession has its rules and regulations. Your older generation always emphasizes rules and order. It's those who disregard rules and try to disrupt the existing order that we should be wary of, like my former boss Zeng Hongliang."l, they gave the other party some meat soup. After a simple breakfast, the group continued on their journey. Because Meng's breath was stable, Hao felt much more relaxed. Their pace slowed down slight...
