Due to the sudden incident and the urgent decision, Xu Zixi didn't have time to inform Yan Yincheng. When he returned to the project site after finishing his business, he was told that Xu Zixi had left ten minutes ago.
"The monitor alarmed that there were pollutants in the sea?"
After hearing Zhou Yaru's report, Yan Yincheng's face suddenly darkened.
The significance of "Golden Amber" to Haicheng and this project was self - evident. The development and operation rights of this sea area belonged to the Yan family. They had long issued a notice banning other ships from approaching this sea area.
Could it be marine garbage carried by ocean currents?
But he felt that it wasn't that simple. He immediately said to Wei Shu, "Check the satellite image records of that sea area immediately and tell me the result in five minutes!"
Wei Shu knew the seriousness of the situation and immediately went to check without hesitation. However, the result shocked him.
"Master Yan, a ship passed through that sea area three hours ago and stayed there for half an hour before leaving!"
Sure enough, it was man - made!
"A Wei, stay and continue to investigate! You must find out the owner of that ship!"
"A Qiang, go and prepare the yacht. I want to see the ship waiting at the ferry in ten minutes!"
"Wei Shu and A Biao, go and get the diving equipment I prepared and those drones newly developed by the Yan family. We'll set sail immediately!"
Since it was related to the safety of "Golden Amber" and Xu Zixi, Wei Shu didn't dare to hesitate. He quickly turned around to get the diving equipment for Yan Yincheng. Fortunately, the equipment was in the car, and Wei Shu retrieved it soon.
Yan Yincheng immediately got up, grasped his blind stick tightly, and strode out with his men.
To make matters worse, it started to rain outside at this time.
Listening to the rustling sound of the rain hitting the iron sheet, Yan Yincheng felt inexplicably flustered. This feeling was exactly the same as when he had that dream where he saw her die in a fire.
Therefore, Yan Yincheng quickened his pace. He and his men were in a hurry and just passed by a group of people who were in a rush to take shelter from the rain.
The leading person in the group was the chief engineer, Dong Long. He greeted Yan Yincheng respectfully, "Mr. Yan, why don't you hold an umbrella in the rain? Where are you going?"
The situation was urgent, and Yan Yincheng didn't want to talk to these people. But at this moment, his sensitive sense of smell caught a strange odor in the air. He stopped in his tracks, turned his face towards the direction of the group, and walked a few steps forward.
At this time, his face was as cold as ice, and he exuded an intimidating aura without getting angry. Everyone couldn't help but straighten their backs and swallow nervously, thinking they had done something to annoy Mr. Yan.
Only one person lowered his eyes to hide the surprise in them.
As Yan Yincheng got closer, the smell became clearer.
It was the smell of disinfectant he often smelled on Xu Zixi recently, a unique smell from the warehouse where the diving equipment was stored. The diving equipment of the "Golden Amber" protection team was kept by a special person and was disinfected and cleaned in detail and professionally every day to ensure the safety of the equipment.
But just now Zhou Yaru said that Xu Zixi had led the whole team to the protected sea area. So the person with this special smell here was not a member of the team.
Yan Yincheng didn't say a word but just followed the smell step by step. Seeing his bad complexion, everyone automatically separated on both sides to make way for him. Finally, Yan Yincheng stood in front of a person.
"You?" He coldly uttered just one word. The man quietly clenched his fists and was about to say something when, the next second, his neck was firmly grasped by Yan Yincheng.
The man didn't expect Yan Yincheng to suddenly turn violent. The sense of suffocation made him groan in pain. From the sound, Yan Yincheng confirmed his identity.
Duan Jia. Ah, it was really him.
This unexpected scene shocked everyone. Dong Long couldn't help shouting, "Mr. Yan, did Duan Jia do something wrong?"
"Mr. Yan! We can discuss anything. This will kill him!"
The word "life" made Yan Yincheng regain a bit of his sanity. He said to the side, "A Meng, cripple his limbs and take him with us when we set off."
Yan Yincheng let go. Fresh air mixed with raindrops rushed into Duan Jia's nose, making him cough violently. Before he could react, he felt his arms being dislocated from the shoulders. The severe pain made him howl. A Meng then kicked him hard on the knees of his legs, completely restricting his freedom.
Then A Meng grabbed him and carried him on his shoulder, quickly following the hurriedly leaving Yan Yincheng.
Duan Jia's limbs were twisted in a strange position, and his stomach was pressed by A Meng's shoulder, making him feel nauseous. But at this moment, he even let out crazy laughter.
"Hahaha, it's too late, too late! Whether it's the fish or the people, all of them will die!"
Hearing this laughter, Dong Long immediately realized that something serious had happened. He quickly said, "Hurry up and inform General Manager Pei!"
Duan Jia's reaction made Yan Yincheng's heart sink to the bottom.
Both he and Xu Zixi had the right premonition. There was indeed something wrong with Duan Jia. But they had only focused on the actions of the engineering department before and never expected that the other side would start from the protection team.
Fighting against the wind and rain, they rushed all the way to the ferry. Mud splashed all over Yan Yincheng's trouser legs. A Qiang was already waiting there with a yacht. Without much words, Yan Yincheng, Wei Shu, A Wei and others boarded the yacht.
The drones newly developed by the Yan family took off from the shore and flew quickly towards the target sea area following the yacht. No matter how anxious Yan Yincheng was, it still took them nearly twenty minutes to reach the target sea area from the ferry.
From afar, they saw a ship staying on the sea, which was the one often used by the protection team before. For safety's sake, according to the habit, although the situation was urgent this time, there was still someone left on the ship to guard.
But at this moment, the person left was sitting on the deck, looking at the sea below with a worried face.
Hearing the sound of the yacht starting from behind and seeing a drone rushing towards him in the rain, the man showed a surprised expression and immediately turned around.
A Qiang calmly parked the yacht on one side. Seeing that Yan Yincheng, who had already changed into a diving suit, was sitting on the ship, the man was startled. "Mr. Yan? Why are you here?!"
Yan Yincheng asked, "Cut the crap. Tell me what's going on now?"
The man calmed down and said, "General Manager Xu led the others to dive into the water to search for the pollutants. It's been twenty minutes. But for some reason, just five minutes ago, our GPS positioning system lost their traces! We can't contact them through the communicators either!"
Sure enough, their diving equipment had been tampered with!
