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

Chen Yu couldn't help but frown, hurriedly found a spot to park the car, and covered it with the prepared camouflage tarp.

"This damn weather really is unpredictable, looks like we're going to have to spend the night here."

Chen Yu casually took out several packs of ready-to-eat food from the car and placed them on the ground.

Jin Lingsu sighed helplessly, she had been here before and knew how awful the weather changes could be.

Hurriedly, she began to help Chen Yu tidy up.

Just then, a truck suddenly appeared not far away.

They must have wanted to find shelter too, and when they saw Chen Yu, they immediately drove over.

"You two, the environment here is really harsh, it's hard for a single team to make it through, can we join you? Let's get through the night together?"

There were six people who came down from the truck, and they seemed to be on their way to the Strait of Magellan for some business, each carrying a bag.

Chen Yu immediately had his system scan these people's identity information, as well as everything on the truck, and even extracted information from their brains.

These guys were no simpletons, carrying with them ten million in green currency!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Beyond that, there were a large number of weapons in the truck.

Chen Yu didn't say much, just had them park their truck to the side, then began setting up camp.

It seemed that these people's boat had also been detained by the Hacks Group, and their purpose was similar to Chen Yu's.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries briefly, then each returned to their cars.

At midnight, two people suddenly came down from the other vehicle, quietly circling to the side of Chen Yu's car.

These two guys sneakily pried open the car door, intending to get in.

Little did they know, every move they made was replicated in Chen Yu's mind.

The moment they stepped onto the car, Chen Yu suddenly leapt up, kicking out twice in quick succession, sending the two men flying out.

"Gentlemen, aren't you going a bit too far? Everyone going to the Strait of Magellan has the same status, and here you are attacking us in the dead of night."

The two men clutched their chests, coughing violently, without saying a word.

The remaining two from the truck also ran over, pointing weapons at Chen Yu.

"Since we all have the same goal, you should know how much it costs to ship a ten-thousand-ton freighter through the Strait of Magellan? The money we brothers have isn't enough, we just wanted to borrow some from you! Don't worry, we will surely repay it later."

You had to admit, those guys were smooth talkers.

In such a desolate wilderness, after borrowing money, they could just kill them off, why bother saying anything about repayment?

"Since you know the score, I won't say much more." A murderous aura suddenly erupted in Chen Yu's eyes, "Then please leave all the money you have on you."

With a loud shout, Chen Yu charged out, tapping each of the four men, who immediately collapsed.

The four were caught off guard, not anticipating that Chen Yu could overpower them so effortlessly and take control.

"Who exactly are you? Do you know the price of offending us?"

The apparent leader was still blustering as if he were something formidable.

Chen Yu snorted coldly, lifting his foot and pressing it onto the man's head.

"Who you are is none of my business; in any case, you're going to slowly die out here in this desert."

At that moment, a sudden strong wind arose in the desert, and huge hailstones fell from the sky, clattering noisily upon the car.

If it weren't for the camouflage net that had been set up in advance, which caught the hail, I'm afraid the car would have been smashed to pieces.

Once the four people were exposed to such an environment, they wouldn't last long.

Chen Yu didn't care about that. He directly took all the money and personal belongings from the other car and moved them to his own.

Then he tied up the four people thoroughly and threw them by the roadside.

By dawn, Chen Yu drove away in the car, leaving them behind.

Although the Magellan Strait lies within the Antarctic Circle and is frozen year-round, it's an important transportation hub, and also home to the largest port within the Antarctic Circle.

Countless mega-tonne tankers pass through here every year!

When Chen Yu arrived, he was shocked by the scene before him; the scale of the port was twice the size of Tianjin's.

He didn't have time to marvel at the scenery; as soon as he got there, he went straight to a bar.

This bar was built with a brazen design, located right in the middle of the bustling area, and featured a plethora of luxury cars parked outside. Hundreds of people were standing guard around the clock.

As soon as Chen Yu parked nearby, two bouncers stopped him.

"Are you blind? Don't you know parking's not allowed here? Get lost quick or I'll kill you."

A sinister smile curled at Chen Yu's lips. He floored the accelerator and rammed his way through.

The roaring of the car made the bouncers as if facing a formidable enemy; two of them even pulled out weapons.

But the car, modified and exceptionally sturdy, instantly ran over a dozen bouncers.

It also left a huge hole in the wall of the bar.

Inside the hall, a dozen middle-aged men sat by a table, seemingly in a meeting. As the car crashed in, they all stood up, and the bodyguards by their side instinctively drew their weapons.

Chen Yu adjusted his breathing slightly, kicked open the car door, and stepped out.

"Gentlemen, I'm here to redeem a hostage. I hope you can make it easy for me."

The crowd was confused, no one had ever come here so brazenly to redeem someone before.

"Who the hell are you? Daring to come here like this, grab him and mince him into meat," ordered a thin middle-aged man covered in various gold ornaments; he obviously had quite the fortune.

Chen Yu didn't care, his figure flashed before the man, and with a palm to his stomach, he sent him flying, slamming him onto the table.

Everyone present was stunned. They did not expect Chen Yu to actually strike.

Before they could react, a surge of electricity spread instantly through the room.

The group who had just been fierce and menacing collapsed to the ground.

One, who appeared to suffer from some chronic illness, spat out a mouthful of foam when the electric current passed through him.

Chen Yu's expression was icy as he quickly approached an old man, lifted a finger, and lightly tapped the man's head.

The man came to and gasped for air, his eyes filled with terror.

"Who are you? What exactly do you want to do?"

Nonchalantly, Chen Yu took out a photo of Russell from his pocket and handed it over.

"I already said I'm here to redeem someone. Let's get on with the trade."
