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

"What is this place? Who are you?" Chen Yu gripped the neck of the burly man, asking with icy coldness.

The burly man simply yelled some strange language, not answering Chen Yu's questions at all.

The woman threw aside the iron and struggled to stand up: "Don't bother; he's probably a native of the Bagel Tribe. Their language is so obscure, outsiders..."

She hadn't finished her sentence when Chen Yu started to speak in the language of the burly man.

The burly man was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Yu somewhat blankly: "How can you speak our language?"

"Quit the nonsense, answer my questions!"

"This is Paradise Island, the headquarters of the Crows!"

"Why did you abduct me?" Chen Yu continued to press.

"You interfered with our attempt to assassinate Victor William, so you must die!"

Chen Yu's face was filled with frustration; he had only saved Victor on a whim and hadn't expected it to cause trouble for himself.

After knocking the burly man out with a blow to the back of his neck, Chen Yu crawled to the mouth of the cave and peered around.

"Little brother, you are quite impressive, fluent in such an obscure language and so skillful too! How about this, you carry me out of here, and I'll make sure to repay you handsomely."

Chen Yu didn't pay her any attention, just kept observing the terrain beneath the mountain.

Although this was an island, most of the area was covered by a primitive jungle.

Escaping from here would be much harder than surviving in the wilderness.

After figuring out an escape route, Chen Yu finally turned back to face the woman.

"Who are you? How did you end up here?"

He asked simply and imperiously, leaving the woman bewildered; no one had ever spoken to her like this before.

"I'm Jin Lingsu, the head of a small neighboring country, and I was kidnapped here."

Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly, reading from the woman's subtle facial expressions, she appeared to be telling the truth.

"I can take you with me, but you must follow my instructions on the way."

Jin Lingsu nodded fervently, immediately stretching out her hands to cling onto Chen Yu's back.

Following the planned route, Chen Yu carefully slid down the slope.

Just as he was passing through the jungle and about to reach the coastline, numerous explosive devices suddenly rained down from the sky, turning the entire island into a blazing inferno.

Chen Yu had no choice but to quicken his pace, carrying Jin Lingsu as he jumped onto a speedboat by the shore.

...

Before long, over a dozen helicopters descended from the sky, and the armed personnel from them rapidly took over the entire island.

Tong Ya rushed out of the plane anxiously, grabbing someone immediately to demand Chen Yu's whereabouts.

"Miss Tong, don't worry, my men have started a comprehensive search. I believe Mr. Chen will be fine."

Victor, leaning on a cane, descended the plane with the support of two bodyguards.

Tong Ya tried to calm herself, but her eyes betrayed her anxiety.

She had only lived for the two words 'Chen Yu' her whole life; if anything happened to Chen Yu, she would make the entire world pay.

"Mr. William, just now our people saw a small boat heading towards Coconut Palm Island over there, and one of them seemed to be Mr. Chen."

Victor's brow furrowed deeply: "Coconut Palm Island? That's Jin Lingsu's territory. That woman is merciless; if Mr. Chen has fallen into her hands, I fear the worst."

Tong Ya didn't care about the specifics, immediately boarding the nearby helicopter, gesturing the pilot to head towards Coconut Palm Island.

Victor, feeling helpless, could only order his people to follow suit.

...

Guided by Jin Lingsu, Chen Yu quickly arrived at Coconut Palm Island.

But no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this small island didn't resemble a country at all, but more like a bandit's den.

"The chief is back!"

Someone shouted, and the entire island instantly boiled with excitement.

A group of raggedly dressed people then burst out from the depths of the island.

Among these people, besides some sturdy men, the rest were all women and children, frail and elderly.

However, they each held an automatic weapon in hand.

Chen Yu suddenly had the feeling that he had escaped the tiger's den only to enter the wolf's lair.

"What are you standing there dazed for, little brother? Come over here!"

Although Chen Yu was somewhat annoyed, he decided to go with the flow since he was already there, and he followed along without much thought.

Jin Lingsu lay back in the seat of honor, propping her injured leg on a stool, then summoned the island's physician.

This physician seemed rather incompetent, not bothering to treat the wound, just dumping a packet of powder on it.

Chen Yu couldn't stand it anymore and pushed the physician aside, taking out instruments from a nearby medical box to treat Jin Lingsu's concentration.

"Not bad, little brother, you even know medical skills! Since we've gone through life and death together, we're one of our own. How about you stay on this island and work for me in the future?"

Chen Yu frowned tightly, "Saving you was just out of humanitarianism. Once your leg is healed, I'll leave."

"Hey, quite the temper! I like that!"

As they were speaking, the roaring sound of a helicopter suddenly echoed above the island.

"Jin Lingsu, I know my husband is on this island. Hand him over quickly, or else I'll flatten your little island."

Chen Yu hurriedly got up, easily recognizing Tong Ya's voice.

It was just that he hadn't expected Tong Ya, who was so docile and lovely before him, to be so domineering.

"My wife has come to pick me up, so this is farewell!"

After finishing up Jin Lingsu's bandaging, Chen Yu turned and left the house directly.

"This isn't a place where people can come and go as they please!"

Jin Lingsu shouted and pursued him.

When she saw the helicopters circling around the island, she was stunned.

"May I ask, what does your wife do?"

Chen Yu shrugged, "She's probably a young mistress from a wealthy family!"

With the protection of a pair of individuals, Tong Ya got off the helicopter, fluttering towards Chen Yu like a little swallow.

The domineering aura from before was nowhere to be found.

Chen Yu ruffled Tong Ya's hair as well: "Where did you get so many helicopters?"

Tong Ya looked up at Chen Yu docilely, "They're all from William's family. I don't have that much capability!"

Jin Lingsu sighed in resignation beside them.

"Sigh, perfect men are indeed all taken. Looks like my little island can't keep you any longer! I'll remember your lifesaving grace; if there's a chance in the future, I'll surely repay it."

Chen Yu didn't say much, just nodded, then boarded the helicopter with Tong Ya.

Upon returning to the castle of William's family, Chen Yu went straight to Victor and asked for a room, and without further ado, collapsed into sleep.

He felt there was still some medicinal strength in his body that hadn't been fully absorbed; his mind was constantly foggy, and with the exhaustion of the past two days, he was really tired.

Tong Ya, meanwhile, moved a small stool next to Chen Yu's bed, propped her chin in her hands, and just stared blankly at Chen Yu.
