"Mr. Jiang, we're here!" As the plane descended, Zeng Xianyi's expression grew slightly serious upon seeing numerous warships and salvage vessels on the surface of the sea.
Although Jiang Chen's strength was beyond doubt, this time they were facing military forces from various countries. Once a confrontation began, it was possible that the opposing side would resort to using firearms. It was uncertain whether Mr. Jiang could withstand a direct hit from a cannonball.
"Then let's go down," Jiang Chen nodded.
"I... I plan to jump out myself..." Zeng Xianyi began to say, but before he could finish, Jiang Chen waved his hand to stop him.
"No need to complicate things. I'll take you and Qin Xiaoya down; the others can head back," Jiang Chen said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Qin Xiaoya with one hand and Zeng Xianyi with the other, leaping out of the plane.
The soldiers inside the aircraft were terrified, their faces pale as they looked on.
This was a height of a thousand meters! Even though it was over water, jumping from such a height made the surface seem like concrete; falling into it would likely result in certain death.
Meanwhile, people from several countries below also noticed the plane. Huaxia had dispatched four warships and a salvage vessel stationed in the East China Sea, while warships and salvage vessels from Island Nation, United States, and Great Britain occupied international waters, each side claiming a portion of territory without yielding.
The underwater treasure not only contained gold and antiques but also held secrets that everyone wanted to uncover. If one side couldn't obtain it, then no one else would either.
On a Huaxia warship, a naval commander gazed intently at the sky.
"How did they get the plane here? We didn't send an aircraft carrier; what are they doing? Are they planning to parachute?" The naval commander frowned.
"Sir, wasn't it said that Zeng Lao was coming? Could it be that Zeng Lao is on that plane along with his Martial Arts Special Forces?" A middle-aged officer beside him said with confusion.
"I don't know what he's up to at his age. Does he really want to try parachuting into the sea again? If he lands in the water and needs us to rescue him, that would be quite embarrassing—especially with those people from Island Nation and United States watching," the naval commander replied discontentedly.
This naval commander was named Yang Jigong. He was slightly younger than Zeng Xianyi but still over seventy years old. They were old friends as well as rivals.
In fact, people of Zeng Xianyi and Yang Jigong's age should have long retired. Zeng Xianyi had indeed retired; he currently held a position as the director of Dragon Martial Institute. However, finding someone of high moral standing to take over as director was challenging; most people simply couldn't handle it. As for Martial Arts Special Forces, that was Zeng Xianyi's lifelong work—he would manage it for as long as he lived.
Yang Jigong, on the other hand, had applied for an extension on his retirement. After all, being just over seventy and still in good health made him feel like he was only in his fifties—he didn't believe it was time for him to retire yet.
As for the "grudge" between Yang Jigong and Zeng Xianyi, it couldn't really be classified as such; it was more like a family feud. Yang Jigong's sister was Zeng Xianyi's first wife. However, their marriage wasn't based on love but rather arranged by their parents. After marrying, Zeng Xianyi joined the military and rarely returned home. Eventually, he fell in love with another woman and divorced Yang Jigong's sister.
