After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Tong Ming rested his chin in silence for quite some time before finally getting up and using the remote to turn on the large screen on the wall.

What appeared was a portion of the map of the Strait of Magellan.

"I remember that place is full of forces, even the Childe Family can't completely settle the issues, and once our ship gets there, it's very likely that it could go and never return. We must send someone to personally retrieve the ship; otherwise, this cooperation will cost us at least sixty billion."

Jin Lingsu stepped forward immediately.

"Mr. Tong, now I'm an employee of your company too, and I've been in charge of this matter from start to finish, so it should be me going to retrieve the ship. Besides, I do have some connections in that place!"

Tong Ming did not immediately agree, as if he was pondering something.

Chen Yu also furrowed his brows; he knew about this business deal, working with the Childe Family on an energy project.

A whole sixty billion at stake—if they were to lose out, it would be like someone had bitten off a chunk of flesh from Tong Group.

"Dad, why don't I go along as well? I'm more familiar with business matters."

Tong Ming nodded.

"Then the two of you go together. Remember, safety must be your top priority."

Chen Yu bid farewell to Tong Ya, exchanged a few words with Tuan Tuan, and then left the villa with Jin Lingsu.

Jinmen Port is one of the largest ports in the Orient, with tens of thousands of oceangoing freighters entering and leaving daily, each with a capacity of tens of thousands of tons.

Standing atop the pier, Chen Yu couldn't help but be moved as he watched the large ships clustering below.

Until now, his business dealings had been fairly small, and even the larger ones involved playing with finance; he had never dealt with tangible, physical businesses.

Seeing so many oceangoing freighters laid out before him, he was somewhat awestruck.

"Kid, you've never seen a scene like this before, have you?"

Jin Lingsu's words had a hint of teasing in them.

Chen Yu rolled his eyes. Truth be told, he was just a poor kid who came out of Suzhou City.

If it weren't for the system's help, he would never have made it this far, let alone witness such a grand and majestic sight.

"First off, I am your boss, and secondly, I hold a lot of your shares! So be careful with your words."

Jin Lingsu huffed lightly: "What, are you planning to deal with me like you did with the Zhao Family?"

Chen Yu chuckled twice but said no more.

They were already very familiar with each other and would often crack such jokes without hesitation.

"Let's hurry to the airport port; we'll miss the plane if we're any later."

Chen Yu reminded her and then led the way to the airport.

Jinmen Port itself is a global place, hence its sea and air transport are interconnected.

Right next to the harbor is the airport.

The moment the two entered the airport, dozens of eyes were fixedly staring at them.

[System alert: Danger detected, automatic defense feature activated]

Jin Lingsu stopped in her tracks as well, cautiously surveying her surroundings, her hands gripping the golden spikes at her waist.

Chen Yu looked around and noticed that more than twenty people were casually surrounding them, their waists bulging, clearly concealing weapons.

"Don't get too entangled with them; we need to get on the plane quickly."

Chen Yu patted Jin Lingsu's shoulder and took her hand, heading towards the boarding gate.

Unexpectedly, just as they took a few steps, those people closed in directly, with one even pulling out a weapon from his waist and stabbing it towards Chen Yu.

Blue and white electric light burst forth in an instant, sending this guy tumbling to the ground, his companions falling and convulsing like they'd been shocked.

Jin Lingsu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What happened to these people? Could the static electricity here be that strong?"

Chen Yu didn't explain, just pulled her towards the boarding gate.

There were only ten minutes left to board the plane, and if they got delayed here summoning the relevant personnel, they would miss their flight.

By then, the six hundred billion worth of goods wouldn't be under their control anymore.

Yet, their pursuers continued relentlessly, all eventually brought down by the blue and white electric light.

The relevant departments didn't know what had happened, thinking these people had some kind of illness, only able to have the medical staff take them away. Hmm

"Excuse me, miss, you can't bring this item on the plane?"

The staff member stopped Jin Lingsu, pointing at the golden spike in her hand.

This thing, when hung at the waist, could pass for a decorative item, unrecognizable to most people, but in hand, it did bear a resemblance to a dagger.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jin Lingsu smiled faintly, twirling the spike in her hand before inserting it into her hair.

"What, do you like my hairpin that much?"

The staff member stood dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.

As a hair ornament, the spike didn't look out of place, only perhaps a bit too long!

Having no choice, the staff let Jin Lingsu pass.

Settling into his seat on the plane, Chen Yu rubbed his forehead, reclined his chair and lay back.

"Who were those guys just now? Were they after Tong Group?"

Jin Lingsu shook her head: "Unlikely, judging by their attire, they seem like enemies from my past."

Chen Yu frowned, wondering just how many enemies this woman had made in the past for them to be tracking her down even to Tong Group now.

However, since Jin Lingsu was his employee, and her safety was in jeopardy, he, as the boss, had to intervene.

"After we return from the Magellan Strait, I'll take care of those troubles for you. I don't want them showing up anymore from now on!"

In fact, Chen Yu was mainly worried that these people could threaten Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan.

Jin Lingsu seemed to have anticipated that Chen Yu would do this and thanked him excitedly.

The Magellan Strait, located in the Antarctic Circle, was a freezing region without nearby airports; they would have to fly to Kraggley and then rent a special off-road vehicle to reach the Magellan Strait.

Almost a day's flight was exhausting for anyone, and by the time the plane landed, Chen Yu was still deep asleep.

[System Alert, danger is approaching]

Chen Yu snapped awake, instantly on alert.

Jin Lingsu looked at him confused.

"Are you muddled from sleep? We've already arrived in Kraggley!"

Chen Yu shook his head: "Be careful, we might have been targeted by someone."

Before long, a holographic map of the entire airport appeared in Chen Yu's mind, with one figure marked in red.

The man was holding two photos, one of Chen Yu and the other of Jin Lingsu.

It looked like this person was a professional assassin, here specifically to hunt them down.

At the same time, the assassin's personal information also surfaced in Chen Yu's mind.
