Chapter 973 Secret Base
Lin Gao looked at her worried eyes and felt soft in his heart. He didn't want her to worry, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's nothing big, just some business cooperation."
Amelia Su obviously didn't believe it, but she didn't ask further questions and just silently served him a bowl of rice.
The two of them ate quietly, and the atmosphere was a bit dull. Lin Gao looked at Amelia Su, feeling filled with guilt. He didn't want to involve her in this dangerous whirlpool, but he couldn't face it alone.
"Su Yu," Lin Gao put down his chopsticks and looked at her seriously, "I may have to leave for a while."
Su Yu was stunned, then raised her head, her eyes full of confusion and worry: "Leave? Where to go?"
"I don't know either," Lin Gao shook his head, "There are some things I have to do."
Su Yu's eyes were red. She held Lin Gao's hand tightly and said with a choked voice: "Don't leave, okay? I don't want you to leave."
Lin Gao's heart hurt as if he had been pricked by a needle. He held Su Yu in his arms, gently stroked her hair, and said softly: "I promise you, I will come back as soon as possible."
Amelia Su hugged him tightly, tears soaking his clothes.
Early the next morning, Lin Gao left the apartment, leaving only a note: "I'll be back as soon as I go, don't miss it."
He came to a remote pier alone, where an old fishing boat was docked. A tall, bearded man stood at the bow of the boat and waved to him.
Lin Gao walked over, and the man grinned, showing his yellow teeth: "Are you Lin Gao?"
"It's me." Lin Gao nodded.
"Come with me," the man turned and walked into the cabin. "The captain is waiting for you."
Lin Gao followed him into the cabin, and a fishy smell hit his face. He frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.
The cabin was dark and damp, and a short man with a ferocious face was sitting on an old chair, holding a dagger with a cold light in his hand, peeling an apple one by one.
Seeing Lin Gao come in, the man raised his head, his cold eyes swept over him, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Welcome to hell."
Lin Gao's heart sank. He knew that he had embarked on a road of no return...
The air in the cabin was filthy, mixed with the smell of fish, sweat, and an indescribable smell of corruption. Lin Gao calmly looked at the short and ferocious man in front of him. He called himself "Captain", but he looked more like a desperate pirate. The dagger in the captain's hand rotated flexibly between his fingers, and the peeled apple skin was as thin as cicada wings, spiraling down in circles, like some silent threat.
"Hell?" Lin Gao chuckled, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "I've seen worse places than this."
The captain stopped peeling the apple and stared at Lin Gao with a cold gaze, "Really? I hope you can still be so arrogant in a while." He threw the peeled apple to Lin Gao, "Eat it, this is your last delicious meal. ”
Lin Gao took the apple but didn't eat it, just played with it casually. "What benefits did the Zhao family give you to work for them?"
The captain grinned, showing his yellow teeth, "It's enough for me to live a happy life. As for you..." He paused, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, "Your life is worth a lot of money."
Lin Gao put the apple aside, put his hands into his pockets, and said calmly, "It seems that there is nothing left to talk about between us."
"Indeed," the captain shrugged, "do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two burly men sprang out from the corner of the cabin, holding steel pipes, and fiercely rushed towards Lin Gao.
A sneer appeared on Lin Gao's lips, and he dodged the attacks of the two men in a flash. Immediately afterwards, with lightning speed, he punched a big man in the abdomen. Another big man swung a steel pipe and hit Lin Gao on the head. However, Lin Gao grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard, and the steel pipe fell to the ground.
The two big men fell to the ground in pain, clutching their stomachs and groaning. The captain's expression changed. He didn't expect Lin Gao to be so skilled.
"It seems that you are more powerful than I thought." The captain said gloomily.
"You underestimated me." Lin Gao's tone was cold. The captain stood up from the chair, the dagger in his hand flashed coldly, "Then let me come and meet you in person!"
He pounced on Lin Gao like an agile cheetah, piercing Lin Gao's vitals with the dagger. Lin Gao dodged sideways and kicked the captain in the chest, sending him flying away.
The captain fell heavily to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to get up, his eyes full of hatred.
"You... how dare you..."
Lin Gao approached the captain step by step, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
There was a flash of fear in the captain's eyes, and he began to regret taking the business.
"Wait!" he suddenly shouted, "I know some secrets about that person!"
Lin Gao stopped and said, "Let's talk and listen."
"I know where he is! I can take you there!" the captain said eagerly.
Lin Gao narrowed his eyes, "You'd better not play tricks."
"Don't dare! Don't dare!" The captain shook his head quickly.

Lin Gao followed the captain to the deck. The fishing boat had already started and sailed towards the vast sea.
"He's on an isolated island," the captain pointed into the distance, "that's his secret base."
Lin Gao looked at the rough sea, his heart calm. He knew that the real challenge had just begun.
The fishing boat sailed on the sea for two days and two nights, and finally arrived at the isolated island mentioned by the captain.
The island has dense vegetation and complex terrain, like a natural maze.
"Follow me," the captain said, leading Lin Gao through the dense jungle. "His base is just ahead."
They came to a hidden valley. In the center of the valley stood a modern building that was incompatible with the surrounding primitive environment.
"This is it," the captain said, pointing to the building. "All his men are in it."
Lin Gao looked at the heavily guarded base and sneered in his heart. He wanted to see who was behind this.
"Just wait here," Lin Gao said to the captain, "I'll come back as soon as I go."
The captain nodded quickly, he did not want to get involved in this dangerous struggle again.
Lin Gao walked to the base alone, and his figure gradually disappeared into the night.
The interior of the base is brightly lit and full of people. Lin Gao sneaked in quietly, like a ghost, shuttling in the corridor.
He came to a control room and observed the situation inside the base.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared on the surveillance screen.
Lin Gao's pupils shrank suddenly, and a turmoil arose in his heart.
That figure turned out to be... Su Yu!
In the surveillance footage, Su Yu is talking to a burly man. The man has his back to the camera and his face cannot be seen clearly.
