<h4>Chapter 1359: Chapter 1667: Mysteriously Vanished on the Sea (2)</h4>


    Centering on the yacht, two helicopters flew a round from both ends, but no boats were seen within ten kilometers around.


    Ling Chen found it strange. Why would the yacht stop on the sea? Aren’t they worried that someone mighte after them? This is the Public Sea, beyond any state regtion, and you can do whatever you want. After pondering for a while, Ling Chen gestured to the pilot to fly towards the yacht.


    Soon, the two helicopters reached the sides of the yacht. Observing from high above for a while and confirming that there was no one on the deck, Ling Chen leaped directly onto the yacht from the helicopter, which was more than four meters high.


    Once everyone boarded the yacht, Ling Chen went straight to the cockpit. Pushing the door open, he saw there was no one inside.


    "Sixth Brother, we’ve searched below, but there’s no trace of them."


    Hearing Qiu Yong’s words, Ling Chen frowned. How could this be? Not a single person was on board. When this yacht left the port, there were at least a dozen people on it. Hu Fei had been having people watch it all the way, and no other boats approached this yacht. Moreover, the yacht’s intable and motorboats were all still here, so they shouldn’t have left the yacht.


    But why? After pondering for a moment, Ling Chen took out a satellite phone and dialed Hu Fei’s number. Upon hearing there was no one on the yacht, Hu Fei’s first reaction was disbelief.


    "No boats approached it; they couldn’t have left." Hu Fei stated with certainty.


    "I think so too, but the problem is that there’s no one on board. They must have slipped away by some other means."


    "Did they leave from underwater?" Hu Fei questioned, puzzled. "But there are no boats for tens of kilometers; even if they dove, there are no tools to travel that far, unless they have a submarine. But that’s impossible."


    "Nothing is impossible. On the international arms market, you can buy any equipment if you have the money. And this is the Public Sea, not in Huaxia’s waters." At this point, Ling Chen had a sudden inspiration and said, "How about this, I’ll ask some friends in the military to investigate if there have been any unusual signals in this sea area."


    "Alright."


    After hanging up the phone, having gained nothing, Ling Chen had no choice but to return to the base by helicopter.


    Originally, there was a n to rescue some of the North Lin Family’s executives, but now not only couldn’t they be found, even their trail was lost. If it were as they guessed, and the South Lin Family had a submarine, it would be difficult to rescue them.


    Back at the base, Ling Kun and Ling Tao were waiting in the control room for Ling Chen. Seeing Ling Tao, thetter still looked visibly angry.


    "Dad, you all know the situation, right?"


    Ling Kun nodded and asked, "No clues at all?"


    "None. They’ve entered the open sea; nobody knows where they’ll go. If Miss Lin were still here, maybe she could help us, but now... we can only wait."


    "Hmph!" Ling Tao snorted coldly, "The South Lin Family people are just a bunch of cowards, hiding in the sea."


    "I think they’re quite smart," Ling Chen interjected, "The sea is the hardest ce to chase. Just now, my friend passed on a message that they found radar signals in the area where the yacht was docked. After analysis, it was likely a World War II submarine. So we can now confirm that the South Lin Family has a submarine. With the advantage of a submarine, the South Lin Family’s executives can go anywhere. Moreover, the open sea is vast, and thews of various countries are ineffective there. The South Lin Family can act recklessly."


    "Son, they can’t stay in the submarine forever; they’ll need supplies," Ling Kun pointed out.


    "Exactly! Dad, there are many inds in the Public Sea, many of which are unvisited. Since the South Lin Family has a submarine, they can easily find an ind and build a temporary base there."


    Ling Tao furrowed his brow slightly, "Are you saying we can’t find them?"


    "Not necessarily," Ling Chen replied, "If we search aimlessly, we won’t find them. But we can start from the source."


    "The source?" Ling Tao asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"


    "That World War II submarine; on the international arms market few actually buy submarines. Even if someone has a submarine, enough skilled personnel are needed to operate it. So, we can investigate along this line, and perhaps we can find some clues." After speaking, Ling Chen turned to Hu Fei beside him and said, "Fatty, this task is for you."


    "You don’t need to remind me. I’ve already got people on it. If everything goes smoothly, we’ll have news soon."


    Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile. Having a reliable person nearby is definitely good, saving much effort in exnations.


    After exiting the control room, Ling Chen caught up with Ling Tao and said, "Uncle Ling, I’m really sorry for today. After talking with my dad, I realized how much the North Lin Family has sacrificed for me."


    Ling Tao said ndly, "As long as you know."


    "Uncle Ling, although I can’t give you control of this base, I promise to do everything I can to rescue the members of the North Lin Family. Also, the South Lin Family will be my primary target."


    After hearing Ling Chen out, some of Ling Tao’s anger seemed to subside, "I hope you can keep your word."


    Once Ling Tao returned to his room, Ling Chen didn’t stay long at the base and drove alone to the Dragon Tiger Hall. Just after returning, He Ziyun called him over, saying there was something to discuss.


    At the Dragon Tiger Hall, Ling Chen headed straight for the director’s office. Entering the room, he saw Tong Zhentian and He Ziyun brewing Kung Fu tea and discussing matters. Ling Chen walked up and grinned, "The two of you are in a good mood."


    "You’re just in time," said Tong Zhentian, pointing to a seat nearby. "Have a seat."


    "Elder Tong, what do you need from me?"


    "It’s about the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; they’ve taken action," He Ziyun said.


    "Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?" Ling Chen was slightly taken aback, "Mr. He, are they causing trouble for us?"


    "Not exactly. We received news a few days ago that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has been aggressively recruiting people. In just a few days, nearly a hundred people have joined them. Furthermore, the number is still growing."


    "Really?" Ling Chen was surprised, "Mr. He, didn’t the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s reputation take a big hit because of Su He? Why are people still willing to join them?"
