51: Chapter 51: Fight for the Iron Mine

While Cao Guangde was in a meeting, Chen Yu could only tell his secretary about his daughter being kidnapped.

Upon learning that General Cao's daughter had been kidnapped, the secretary almost dropped her phone and quickly asked,

"What! General Cao's daughter has been kidnapped?"

"Yes, but I've already rescued her. We are now in the suburbs of Yanqing, Yanjing. Please send people here immediately."

"Mr. Chen, I will notify General Cao for you immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu sat on the steps in front of the building.

He had been shot more than a dozen times just now, which truly made him feel like dying. Every shot had penetrated Chen Yu's body.

The pain was no different from being shot; the only difference was knowing he wouldn't die, so psychologically, he wasn't as afraid.

The bullets that had entered were being pushed out by newly grown flesh, falling to the ground one by one.

[Captain, all the bullets in your body have been cleared, and the Ami Repair Robot has completed the repair of your body.]

'Okay!'

A few minutes later, Chen Yu's phone rang. It was Cao Guangde calling; the secretary must have interrupted his meeting.

"Chen Yu, is my daughter okay?"

"General Cao, Yixin is fine now. Today, spies came to kidnap us, so I followed those spies all the way to the suburbs of Yanqing. Now, all those spies have been killed by me."

"It's fine if they're dead. Send me your location on my phone now, and I'll send people over immediately!"

"Okay!"

Chen Yu sent the location and then sat down to wait.

Next to him lay Cao Yixin, like a sleeping beauty. Chen Yu reached out and tucked the hair on her small face behind her ear.

Seeing her pretty face, Chen Yu even wanted to take the opportunity to kiss her.

After only twenty minutes, Chen Yu heard the sound of helicopter rotors in the sky.

Several military helicopters slowly landed in a large wasteland in front of the building.

Many soldiers carrying automatic rifles rushed out.

Several officers in military uniforms walked into the small courtyard.

They then saw Chen Yu and Cao Yixin.

Several people jogged forward and saluted Chen Yu. The leading officer respectfully said,

"Mr. Chen, thank you so much!"

"Send people to check the basement. Those are likely spies from the United States planted in Yanxia. Their communicators are still there; perhaps something can be found!"

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Several military doctors in white coats had already lifted Cao Yixin onto a stretcher.

When the officers went down to the basement and saw the condition of the 7 dead people, they all gasped.

These spies were all beaten or kicked to death directly with fists and feet. How much strength would that require!

Chen Yu did not leave on these military helicopters. He found an excuse to stay nearby.

After the military planes flew away, Chen Yu summoned the landing craft to descend.

In an uninhabited farmland, Chen Yu boarded the spacecraft and returned to Jiangcheng.

The landing craft took only ten minutes to return to his villa in Jiangcheng.

It was evening when Chen Yu returned to the villa. Under Xiao Jiazi's service, he washed up and lay on the bed.

Xiao Jiazi, as always, was naked, serving as a thoughtful human pillow for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu recalled what happened today: why did those United States spies kidnap Cao Yixin?

"Intellect, find out what mission General Cao went to perform?"

[Okay, Captain, I will connect to the military server to query now.]

[Captain, it has been found. General Cao is currently in Africa, competing with White Bear Country, the United States, France, England, Germany, and other countries for the newly discovered largest Iron Ore Field in the world.]

"Iron Ore Field? Did the United States spies kidnap Cao Yixin just to make Cao Guangde back down?"

Why are the strongest countries in the world gathered in Africa to compete for this one Iron Ore Field?

The main reason is probably for the construction of shelters. It seems that these major countries also know something about the solar catastrophe.

Even if Yanxia's current scientists are still verifying the authenticity of the solar catastrophe, it does not prevent them from making two-pronged preparations.

"Intellect, what is the total output of that Iron Ore Field?"

[According to the currently proven iron reserves, at least 30 billion tons of steel can be refined.]

"Good heavens, there's so much. The global annual steel production is only about 2 billion tons. No wonder these major countries are fighting over it. However, the United States even resorted to kidnapping, which is truly despicable."

In the Pentagon of the United States, on the other side of the Earth.

In the Yanxia Strategic Research Institute office, several high-ranking United States officials frowned deeply.

"Still no contact?"

"Sir, currently, only one person involved in the kidnapping is injured and hiding in the city. All the others have lost contact."

"Alas, it's highly likely the mission failed. It seems the hostage has been rescued."

"Then, how do we restrict the Yanxia representative in the Africa Iron Ore Field negotiations?"

"Yanxia has been aiding those third-world countries in Africa for years. This time, those countries are very inclined to grant the mining rights to Yanxia. It's difficult for us!"

"Since it concerns the construction of shelters, I think we cannot be too gentlemanly. I suggest sending our aircraft carrier battle group to Africa. Those poor and backward countries will certainly yield!"

"I will contact the President about this!"

The next day, Chen Yu received a call early in the morning.

It was Cao Yixin calling. It seemed this girl should have woken up.

"Hello, Yixin, are you feeling better?"

"Chen Yu, I heard you saved me."

"Uh, you took me out to play, and we encountered danger, so of course, I had to save you!"

"Thank you, Chen Yu. I heard you took a great risk to save me this time!"

"It's nothing. It's what I should do!"

"Those United States spies are truly shameless. They actually wanted to capture me to force my dad to make concessions at the most critical moment."

"Fortunately, they did not succeed!"

"When I'm discharged from the hospital, I will definitely thank you properly!"

"Haha, no need. I'm already back in Jiangcheng."

"Ah, you've already left? How can that be? I must thank you in person!"

"Your identity is special now; it's best not to move around. Wait until General Cao gets the Iron Ore Field, then you can come out."

"How do you know my dad went to negotiate about the iron ore?"

"Haha, I naturally have my ways of knowing."

"Those United States spies wanted to threaten my dad when he was signing the mining contract with those African countries, thereby delaying our acquisition of the mining rights."

"It's good that you're okay. Don't run around anymore. If you insist on thanking me, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Alright then!"

After hanging up the phone with Cao Yixin, Chen Yu got up, washed up, and drove to the company.

He had already secured Qifu Village and a piece of land in the adjacent Donghai City.

Chen Yu was about to immediately begin his industrial park plan.
