729: Chapter 729 I'm really going to Pirate Island!

Ye Chen looked at the face full of stubbornness on Zhou Shanxin and remained silent for a few seconds.

Doctors like this, who are not ashamed to ask questions, are rare now.

But... Ye Chen did not want to take on any more apprentices.

However, he did not refuse directly but gave him a direction.

"Fine, then I will show you a path."

Zhou Shanxin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Please tell me! I am listening!"

Ye Chen took a pen out of his pocket, casually grabbed a sticky note from the nurse's station nearby, scribbled a line of text, and handed it over.

"Go find the divine doctor Zhang Sansheng and have him teach you. Just say it was I who told you."

Zhou Shanxin took the note with both hands and looked down to see Ye Chen's name and a phone number written on it.

He was stunned for a few seconds.

Who is Zhang Sansheng? The divine doctor famous throughout the Dragon Country! And he is the husband of Director Li Aihua from their hospital!

Not just anyone who wants to learn from him has the qualifications! But now... Ye Chen actually told him to go find him???

"If you have learned everything you can from him and he can no longer teach you anything, then come back and tell me."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he turned and pressed the elevator button.

Zhou Shanxin held the sticky note, having snapped out of his daze.

"Mr. Ye, I... I will definitely study hard!" "I will never fail your expectations!"

This was a heaven-sent opportunity given by Ye Chen!

Ye Chen didn't even look back, just waved his hand.

The elevator door opened, and the three of them walked in. The door slowly closed.

But Zhou Shanxin bowed deeply toward the elevator door.

"Thank you... thank you, Mr. Ye..."

The nurses in the hallway watched this scene and looked at each other.

"What is wrong with Director Zhou?" "I don't know, it seems like that young man said something to him..."

"Who is that young man? He looks so familiar."

"Are you new here? That is Ye Chen! Our hospital's big celebrity! He is the one who saved that patient with the ruptured tumor!"

"Oh my god! That is the Ye Chen?!"

The discussions rose and fell in the hallway, but Zhou Shanxin could no longer hear them.

He held the sticky note and turned to walk toward his office.

Returning to his office, he carefully tucked the sticky note into his most precious notebook.

Then, he picked up the phone and dialed the dean's number.

"Dean, I need to take leave." "For how long?" "I don't know."

"Zhou Shanxin, are you crazy?" "I'm not crazy, I am going to find Zhang Sansheng to study under him."

"What? Zhang Sansheng? Go quickly!"

The next day, 3:00 PM. Xiamen City International Cruise Terminal.

A giant, pure white international cruise ship was docked at the pier, with "Ocean Princess" written in gold-leaf lettering on its hull.

This cruise ship would depart from Xiamen City, pass through several ports in Southeast Asia, and its final destination was Eagle Country.

Of course, Ye Chen and the others would not be taking the entire trip.

Where they were going was the notorious pirate island closest to Eagle Country—Thor Island.

That place was the only way to reach the headquarters of the Black Prison.

At this moment, the pier was bustling with people, and luxury cars gathered.

Wealthy men in suits and leather shoes, noblewomen dripping with jewels... all kinds of people gathered together.

Ye Chen and the other two walked toward the boarding gate. Night Owl and Yi Yue quickly followed.

Checking tickets, security clearance, and boarding—everything was done in one go.

Ye Chen had booked a luxury suite, with three rooms and a living room, featuring a private balcony that overlooked the entire ocean.

After putting their luggage away, the three of them went to the deck on the top floor of the cruise ship.

On the deck were rows of white lounge chairs, an open-air bar, and a self-service barbecue area.

The sun was setting, and golden sunlight spilled over the surface of the sea.

Ye Chen sat down on a chair next to the barbecue area and waved at the waiter.

"Bring me three skewers of lamb, three skewers of beef, three chicken wings, three skewers of grilled chives, and three bottles of ice-cold beer."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses: "Alright, sir, please wait a moment."

Night Owl sat opposite Ye Chen, took off her sunglasses, and looked at him with a speechless expression.

"You... actually have the leisure time to eat skewers?"

She had originally thought that as soon as Ye Chen got on the cruise ship, he would ask her to understand the situation regarding the Black Prison, then formulate a plan and deploy the operation.

And the result? This guy, instead, started ordering barbecue before his butt was even warm.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes, looking completely justified.

"The world is huge, but the stomach is the biggest."

"If you are hungry, you naturally have to eat. All problems must wait until after eating to be solved."

"Besides, this ferry will take two days to reach the vicinity of Thor Island, what are you rushing for?"

Night Owl's mouth twitched several times; she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

Because she knew that reasoning with this man was like playing the lute to a cow.

Yi Yue sat beside Ye Chen, pursing her lips and smiling softly.

She really enjoyed these moments, where she didn't have to think about anything or do anything, just quietly staying by Ye Chen's side.

The barbecue was soon brought over.

The lamb skewers were grilled to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, and the aroma was enticing.

Ye Chen picked up a skewer of lamb, took a bite, squinted his eyes, and looked satisfied: "Hmm... this chef's skills are not bad, much better than what Qin Qin grills."

Night Owl watched him in this state and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

But after hesitating for a moment, she still picked up a chicken wing and began to eat it in small bites.

Yi Yue also picked up a skewer of grilled chives and ate with relish.

The three of them just sat on the deck like this, blowing in the sea breeze, eating barbecue, and drinking ice-cold beer. They didn't look at all like they were going to solve some big trouble, but rather like they were out on vacation.

Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt and a straw hat walked over, holding a wine glass.

"The three of you, excuse me."

The middle-aged man opened his mouth with a chuckle, his gaze sweeping over Ye Chen and the others: "I see that you are also from the Dragon Country, so I came over to say hello."

Ye Chen raised his head and glanced at him: "Something up?"

"Nothing, nothing, just chatting casually."

The middle-aged man didn't stand on ceremony either and sat down on a chair nearby.

"My name is Qian Duofu, I work in import and export trade. You can just call me Old Qian."

"Are the three of you going to Eagle Country for a trip?"

Ye Chen took a bite of the beef skewer and said vaguely: "More or less."

Qian Duofu became interested.

"I am familiar with that place, Eagle Country. I go there several times every year."

"Which city are you planning to go to?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then replied: "We are not going to a city."

Qian Duofu was stunned. "Not going to a city? Then where are you going?"

Ye Chen put down the skewer in his hand, wiped his mouth, and spoke with a calm expression.

"We are planning to go to the pirate island closest to Eagle Country."

As the words fell, the wine glass in Qian Duofu's hand dropped to the ground.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and gave a dry laugh.

"Sir... you really know how to joke."

Ye Chen looked at him with an innocent face: "I am not joking. I am really going to the pirate island."

Qian Duofu's smile froze completely.

"That... that is Thor Island! The pirate's den!"

"In the whole world, who doesn't know that place is a dragon's den and a tiger's lair? Even the Eagle Country Navy doesn't dare to get close!"

"You... why are you going there?"

Ye Chen picked up the beer bottle, tilted his head, and took a drink: "Looking for someone."

Qian Duofu's mouth twitched several times. These three Dragon Country people... are they not crazy?

"Sir, do you know what kind of place Thor Island is?"

Qian Duofu asked relentlessly.

"The pirates there kill without blinking, and they don't even spare women and children!"

"You dare to say you are going to look for someone?"

"Yeah." Ye Chen nodded with a calm expression.

Qian Duofu opened his mouth, wanting to say something more.

A voice suddenly interjected from the side. "Boasting."

As the words fell, a young man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight walked over.

He was wearing a white casual suit, and a shiny Rolex was on his wrist.

He stood in front of Ye Chen with a mocking smile on his lips.

"I think you are only boasting because these two young ladies are here, right?"

His gaze swept over Night Owl and Yi Yue.

Night Owl was cold and beautiful, while Yi Yue was gentle and moving. Two top-tier women with completely different styles were sitting next to this young man in a white T-shirt.

A trace of jealousy flashed in the young man's eyes.

"Thor Island? Do you know what kind of place that is?"

"That is a pirate den that even the Eagle Country Royal Navy dares not approach."

"Just you?"

He looked Ye Chen up and down and sneered, "A poor kid wearing street-stall goods, you deserve to go to a place like that?"

Ye Chen glanced at him. Just one glance. Then, he withdrew his gaze.

He picked up the beer bottle and continued to eat the skewers.

That posture, that expression, it was clearly... ignoring. Complete ignorance.

There was no help for it... no one believed him when he told the truth, so what was he supposed to do? He couldn't just cater to an ignorant frog in a well, could he?

The smile on the young man's face froze instantly, and a burst of anger flared up in his eyes.

"You... you dare to ignore me?" "Do you know who I am?"

Ye Chen took a bite of a lamb skewer, chewed twice, and spoke unhurriedly.

"I don't know who you are." "But I know who I am to you."

The young man was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Who?"

Ye Chen grinned, revealing two rows of neat white teeth. "I am your father."
