He held a satellite phone in his hand, having just ended a brief but crucial call. The voice on the other end was deep and calm, speaking only a few words, yet causing Su Chang's brow to furrow slightly. He knew that every step from now on had to be taken with extreme caution; any carelessness could plunge him into an abyss of no return.
"Long Xiaoyun, Leng Feng, you two take your men to the beach and prepare to board the ship." Su Chang turned around and gave the order to the instructors behind him. His voice was steady and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Long Xiaoyun and Leng Feng exchanged a glance, nodded, and quickly sprang into action. The instructors split into several groups, leading the Longteng Group employees, who had just been rescued from the kidnapping, towards the beach. The employees still wore the lingering fear of surviving a close call, but under the instructors' guidance, their steps gradually became more orderly.
Before long, a huge cruise ship came into view. The cruise ship was pure white, like a moving castle, and slowly approached.
Immediately afterwards, several airships sped from the direction of the cruise ship and stopped on the sea near the beach. Long Xiaoyun immediately organized everyone to board the ships in batches. Her movements were efficient and decisive, clearly showing that she was very familiar with this kind of emergency evacuation procedure.
An Ran, Tan Xiaolin, and He Lu stood at the edge of the crowd, glancing at Su Chang from time to time. They noticed that Su Chang was left alone at the back, showing no intention of leaving with them.
"Why isn't he coming with us?" Tan Xiaolin asked in a low voice, her brows furrowing slightly.
"I don't know, but he definitely has his own plans." He Lu shook her head, her gaze still fixed on Su Chang.
An Ran took a deep breath and decided to step forward and test the waters.
She walked up to Su Chang, her voice tinged with concern: "President Su, aren't you coming with us? It's still very dangerous here; it's not safe for you to stay here alone."
Su Chang turned his head, his gaze deep and calm. He had long noticed the unusual behavior of An Ran and the Fire Phoenix team, especially since much of their equipment during this operation hadn't been provided by Liang Dawei and Xiong Kuohai. He didn't believe they could obtain such equipment after their discharge. He was now certain that they were people sent by higher-ups to monitor him.
“I will return to China through other means,” Su Chang said calmly, without a trace of emotion in her voice. “You guys go ahead, don’t worry about me.”
An Ran's heart tightened. Su Chang's answer made her even more certain that he had noticed something. She dared not ask any more questions, afraid of revealing her identity. She nodded, turned around and went back to Tan Xiaolin and He Lu, whispering a few words to them.
The three exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and quickly boarded the last airship, heading towards the cruise ship.
Su Chang breathed a sigh of relief after everyone had left. He looked around to make sure no one was following him, then quickly walked towards the other side of the island.
There, a blimp he had prepared beforehand was moored. He jumped aboard, started the engine, and sped towards the distant horizon. The sea breeze whistled past, but Su Chang's thoughts remained unusually clear.
"I need to flex my muscles as soon as possible, otherwise anyone could come and cause me trouble," Su Chang silently resolved. He increased the speed of the airship and headed towards the predetermined destination.
Meanwhile, on the cruise ship, Long Xiaoyun and Leng Feng were counting heads to ensure that all employees of Longteng Group had boarded the ship safely.
Long Xiaoyun's gaze kept drifting towards the distant islands, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. She knew Su Chang hadn't boarded the ship; although he'd said he'd return home through other means, she had a feeling things weren't so simple.
"Leng Feng, do you think Su Chang will be alright?" Long Xiaoyun asked in a low voice.
Leng Feng frowned and shook his head: "Su Chang is no ordinary person. Since he chose to stay, he must have his reasons. Our current task is to ensure that these employees return to China safely."
Long Xiaoyun nodded and said nothing more. She knew Leng Feng was right, but she still felt uneasy.
On the other side, An Ran and all the members of the Fire Phoenix team sat in the cabin, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
An Ran said in a low voice, "Su Chang may have already realized our identities, so we must be more careful in our next move."
Tan Xiaolin nodded: "He is very vigilant, we cannot make any further moves that would expose us."
He Lu frowned: "But if we don't continue monitoring him, how will we explain it to the higher-ups?"
An Ran was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We can only act according to circumstances. Su Chang is not our enemy, at least not yet. We need to figure out what he is doing, instead of just monitoring him blindly."

Tan Xiaolin and He Lu exchanged a glance and nodded. They knew An Ran was right. Su Chang's identity and actions were shrouded in mystery, and blindly monitoring him would only backfire.
The cruise ship slowly sailed away from the island, heading towards the distant horizon. The sea breeze gradually softened, and the afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the sea, casting a golden glow. However, the people on board were not in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scenery. Each person was filled with doubt and unease.
Su Chang's airship sped across the sea, his destination a private yacht in international waters. That was a pre-arranged rendezvous point. He knew he had to leave this area as soon as possible, or he might be tracked at any moment.
Several hours later, Su Chang's airship finally approached the private yacht. The people on the yacht had obviously been waiting for a long time, and as soon as they saw Su Chang's airship approaching, they immediately lowered the gangway. Su Chang quickly boarded the yacht, where he was greeted by Liang Dawei, whom Su Chang had arranged to come earlier, who greeted him with a smile.
"President Su, you've finally arrived," Liang Dawei said with a smile. "We've been waiting for you for a long time."
Su Chang nodded without saying anything more.
"How is the situation?" Su Chang asked directly.
Liang Dawei's smile faded, and his expression turned serious: "The situation is more complicated than we expected. My father found out through his connections here that although only the Baboon Nation is involved on the surface, multiple international forces are involved. Moreover, the attitude of the higher-ups is somewhat unpredictable."
Su Chang frowned, pondering to himself. He had long suspected that this incident was not simple, but he hadn't expected it to involve so many forces.
"Let's flex our muscles first, so everyone doesn't think we're easy to bully," Su Chang said in a deep voice. "Has the person I asked you to contact made contact?"
Liang Dawei nodded: "I've made the arrangements. We'll head to a safe location where they'll be waiting for us."
Su Chang simply nodded without saying anything more. He knew that his next move would determine the course of events. He had no way out.
The yacht slowly sailed away from the rendezvous point, heading towards the distant horizon. Night gradually fell, leaving only the yacht's lights flickering in the darkness. Su Chang stood on the deck, his gaze fixed on the distant sea, his heart filled with determination.
Chapter 361 Chaos in the Baboon Kingdom
In the Malaysian night, the humid wind carries the salty smell of the sea.
Su Chang stood at a harbor by the sea, with Liang Dawei and a group of bodyguards from the Fiery Shield behind him. Their shadows were long in the dim light, making them appear particularly solemn.
Su Chang's gaze swept over the men who had come to meet him. They were dark-skinned, burly, and their eyes held a mixture of wariness and shrewdness. Their Mandarin had a heavy Hokkien accent, which sounded a little awkward, but Su Chang didn't care. He knew these men were an indispensable part of his plan.
Liang Dawei stepped forward and introduced them to Su Chang in a low voice: "These are our partners in Southeast Asia, mainly Chinese from Taiwan and Pasir Ris Province. They are very influential locally."
Su Chang nodded, her gaze falling on the short man among them. The man hadn't said much, but his eyes were as cold as knives.
Following his gaze, Liang Dawei continued, "That man is from the Triangle Area, his name is A-Kun. He has his own armed force and is a ruthless character."
Su Chang didn't say much, only nodding slightly. He knew that people like Ah Kun didn't need excessive formalities; mutual benefit was the strongest bond between them.
The group quickly boarded the car and headed towards the city center. The scenery outside the car window rushed past, neon lights flickered in the night, and pedestrians came and went on both sides of the street, creating a lively atmosphere.
The nightlife in Malaysia was just beginning, but Su Chang's mind was elsewhere. He was constantly calculating his next move, making sure every detail was perfect.
The car stopped in front of a high-end hotel, and the doorman respectfully opened the car door for them.
As soon as Su Chang got out of the car, someone approached him and whispered, "Mr. Su, would you like to play a few rounds? The casinos around here are very famous; we guarantee you'll have a great time."
Su Chang waved her hand, her tone indifferent: "No need, let's get straight to business."
The man gave an awkward laugh and said nothing more. The group went straight to the elevator and headed to the presidential suite on the top floor. Inside, the luxurious decor and spaciousness created an invisible sense of oppression.
Su Chang and Liang Dawei sat on one side of the sofa, opposite the group of leaders who were there to meet them. Ah Kun remained silent, sitting in the corner with a cold look in his eyes.
Su Chang wasted no time and went straight to the point: "My goal is simple: over the next three months, I will throw the Baboon Kingdom into complete chaos." His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.
The room fell silent instantly, and everyone except Ah Kun wore expressions of disbelief.
One of the leaders couldn't help but speak up: "Mr. Su, while the Baboon Country isn't a huge country, it's not small either. It's not so easy to destabilize it. What are you doing...?"
Su Chang raised his hand to interrupt him, his tone still calm: "I know this sounds crazy, but you just need to follow my plan. As for the reward..." He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present: "One hundred million US dollars per person."
Silence fell in the room again, but this time, it carried a suppressed excitement. One hundred million US dollars was an astronomical sum for anyone.
The eyes of the gang leaders began to burn with excitement, and even Ah Kun, who had been silent all along, slightly raised his eyelids, clearly showing interest in the number.
"Mr. Su, are you sure?" another leader asked tentatively.
Su Chang nodded: "Money is not the issue, the issue is the result I want. As long as you can do it, the money will be in my account immediately."
The gang leaders exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement. Ah Kun remained silent, but Su Chang knew he had tacitly agreed.
Su Chang did not participate in the subsequent detailed discussions. He left everything to Liang Dawei and then got up and left the room.
As Su Chang stepped out of the hotel, the night breeze brushed against her face. She took a deep breath, as if to expel all the pent-up emotions in her chest.
He knew that the next three months would be a bloody storm. And he had to make sure he was at the center of the storm, in control of everything.
Su Chang did not stay in Malaysia for long. He took a private plane back to China early the next morning. However, he did not return to Shanghai, but went to a secret base.
On the plane, he closed his eyes to rest, but the scenes from last night kept replaying in his mind. The reactions of those gang leaders were within his expectations; the lure of money was enough to make them take risks. But Ah Kun's silence made him uneasy. That man was too calm, so calm that he was impossible to fathom.
"President Su, we're almost there." Liang Dawei's voice interrupted Su Chang's thoughts.
He opened his eyes and looked down through the porthole at the secret base below. It was deserted, exactly the place he needed. Su Chang knew that every step from now on had to be flawless.
After the plane landed, Su Chang went directly to the secret base's office building. His office was located at the highest point of the entire base, overlooking the entire secret base.
Sitting in his large office chair, Su Chang turned on his computer and began to review the latest intelligence. The situation in the Baboon Kingdom was not complicated, but to completely disrupt it would require precise planning and strong execution.
"Liang Dawei, you stay with me these next few days. Contact our people in the baboon country and get them to start taking action," Su Chang said without looking up.
Liang Dawei nodded and immediately took out his phone to make arrangements. Su Chang, on the other hand, continued to stare at the screen, her fingers flying across the keyboard.
His plan was divided into several phases, with military force being only one part. More importantly, it involved economic sanctions. Su Chang believed in Zheng Fangxiu and her team's capabilities, and with a two-pronged approach, he was confident that the Baboon Kingdom would eventually have to submit.
"President Su, we've made contact with the people, and they're ready to act at any time," Liang Dawei reported in a low voice as he put down his phone.
Su Chang nodded, his gaze still fixed on the screen: "Have them create some small-scale disturbances first, to test the reaction of the Baboon Kingdom government."
Liang Dawei responded and immediately went to make the arrangements. Su Chang leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples. He knew that in the days to come, he would face immense pressure and challenges. But he had no way out; he could only move forward.
······
A few days later, the situation in the Baboon Kingdom began to subtly change. News of riots came from time to time in the streets and alleys, and although the government tried its best to suppress them, the effect was not obvious.
Su Chang sat in his office, looking at the latest intelligence and the plummeting stock market of the Baboon Kingdom, a slight smile playing on his lips. He knew his plan was beginning to take effect.
"President Su, the situation in the Baboon Country is starting to get chaotic. What should we do next?" Liang Dawei walked into the office, his tone tinged with excitement.
Su Chang nodded, her gaze remaining calm: "That's not enough. We need even greater chaos."
Liang Dawei was taken aback for a moment, then understood what Su Chang meant: "You mean, we want to further escalate the conflict?"
Instead of answering directly, Su Chang asked, "Is there any news from A-Kun's side?"
Liang Dawei shook his head: "Ah Kun has been very quiet and hasn't participated in any operations."
Su Chang frowned; Ah Kun's silence made him uneasy. He knew that man was no pushover. If he chose to stand by and do nothing, he was definitely waiting for a better opportunity.
"Keep an eye on him, and tell me immediately if anything happens," Su Chang said in a deep voice.
Liang Dawei nodded, turned, and left the office. Su Chang continued to stare at the screen, his mind racing with plans. He knew the real storm was brewing, and he had to make sure he was at the center of it, in control of everything. He didn't want to be the one to reap the rewards.
A month later, the situation in the Baboon Kingdom was completely out of control. Street riots raged, foreign exchange reserves were running low, the government was struggling to cope, and public discontent had reached its peak.
Su Chang sat in his office, looking at the latest intelligence, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"President Su, the situation in the Baboon Country has developed exactly as we expected." Liang Dawei walked into the office, his tone tinged with excitement.
Su Chang nodded, her gaze remaining calm: "It's time to move on to the next step."
Liang Dawei was taken aback for a moment, then understood what Su Chang meant: "You mean, we're going to completely detonate the situation?"
Su Chang didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Is there still no movement from Ah Kun's side?"
Liang Dawei shook his head: "Ah Kun remains quiet and has not participated in any operations."
Su Chang frowned. He had no idea whether Ah Kun wanted to swallow the 100 million US dollars directly or had other plans.
