I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Pacquiao was a bit bewildered by Yang Chen's scolding. He quickly said, "Mr. Yang, please calm down. I didn't know about this. If I had known they were blocking your cargo ship from passing through the Strait of Malacca, I certainly wouldn't have agreed. You wait, I'll call Singapore right away and have them release your ship immediately."

Yang Chen continued, "The problem now is that they are using the right of passage through the Strait of Malacca to threaten me, forcing me to raise oil prices to prevent their Golden Dragon fish from not selling well in China. It's not enough to just let my ships pass; all Chinese ships need to be allowed to pass."

Pacquiao said, "Well... Mr. Yang, if I may be frank, I can only guarantee that your ships can sail freely. I can't control the other ships. After all, we only bought a portion of the port shares from Li Kaisheng. A considerable portion of the shares are still held by companies such as the Singapore National Port Transport Group. If they really want to target you, our influence is only enough to protect your ships. I can't do anything about the other ships."

It's not enough for Yang Chen's creation to pass smoothly. Other companies' ships were blocked outside Malacca because of Yang Chen, and ultimately it was still Yang Chen's responsibility.

"I can't worry about that now. I'm telling you clearly, if you don't let all the Chinese cargo ships pass within three hours, I'll make the Strait of Malacca a no-go zone, and no ship will dare to approach it," Yang Chen said, and immediately hung up the phone.

The bionic sharks that were previously deployed in the Indian Ocean should be put to good use now, otherwise it would be a waste to regularly replace their batteries.

Pacquiao immediately called Zhu Changrong, president of the Singapore National Ports Transport Group, and asked bluntly, "Mr. Zhu, why are you preventing Yang Chen's cargo ship from passing through the Strait of Malacca? Do you know what you are doing? We spent so much money to buy this port. If you mess up the Strait of Malacca, we will definitely not let you off the hook."

Zhu Changrong quickly explained, "Mr. Pacquiao, we're helpless too. This is the higher-ups' idea. They want to force Yang Chen to raise the prices of Sihai Grain and Oil products so that Golden Dragon Fish can continue to operate in the Chinese market. How can we just give up 300 billion British pounds in sales every year? Don't you agree?"

Pacquiao said, "The loss of Golden Dragon Fish's 300 billion peso sales has nothing to do with us. If you don't restore the passage rights of Chinese merchant ships within three hours, not only will Golden Dragon Fish lose its 300 billion peso sales, but the Strait of Malacca will also be lost. Do you understand what that means?"

Zhu Changrong said with a smile, "He's just trying to scare you. The Strait of Malacca is so important. If he dares to make a move, the countries in East Asia and South Asia will not forgive him."

Pacquiao immediately retorted, "Stupid! Idiot! You're really stupid! He's afraid of these things? He's done so many things to so many countries before, has he ever been afraid?"

“That’s different. He was involved with one country before, and had no connection with other countries. The Strait of Malacca is related to 90% of the maritime trade in East and South Asia. If he dares to mess with this area, no one can protect him. I’m telling you!” Zhu Changrong said with great confidence.

Pacquiao really wanted to teleport in front of Zhu Changrong right now and slap him twice. How could such a stupid and arrogant person become the president of the National Port Transportation Group?

The two argued for a while, but Pacquiao was unable to persuade Zhu Changrong to release Yang Chen's cargo ship. In the end, the two had to end the call in a very unpleasant manner.

The news that Yang Chen's cargo ship was refused passage through the Strait of Malacca quickly spread across the global internet, and foreign netizens left comments expressing their opinions.

Singaporean netizen: Are you kidding me? Why did you have to provoke that plague god? Blackwater Group, Gurkha Organization, Italian Mafia, and so on, all of them were dealt with obediently by Yang Chen. Do those shipping company bosses think they are more powerful than those mercenaries and mafia?

South Korean netizens: Well done! The Strait of Malacca is extremely important. As long as China's cargo ships are prevented from passing through, Yang Chen will definitely kneel down and admit defeat, because he cannot afford the consequences of all cargo ships in the country being prohibited from passing through Malacca. If Singapore had known that this would be a way to control Yang Chen, it should have acted much earlier, and Yang Chen wouldn't have been so glorious for so long.

A Japanese netizen commented: "This is truly foolish. How dare they do such a thing? Based on my understanding of Yang Chen's methods, the Strait of Malacca is absolutely doomed. Yang Chen has enough means to ensure that no ship dares to pass through the Strait of Malacca."

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "Who gave Singapore the audacity to target Yang Chen like this? They probably don't know what despair is. Come on, everyone, let's guess how many days Singapore can hold out. I bet it'll be a day at most."

A German netizen commented: Will Mr. Yang retaliate against his rivals again this time via live stream? Looking forward to it…

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "If you dare to touch my idol, you should be prepared for a tragic end. I'm waiting for Singapore to issue a statement of surrender."

……

People all over the world are watching this matter, and Yang Chen must resolve it forcefully, otherwise other canals, straits, and other management entities will follow suit.

Three hours passed quickly, and Yang Chen's cargo ship was still blocked outside the Strait of Malacca.

This is not Yang Chen's fault; they brought it on themselves.

Yang Chen called Guo Hu and instructed him, "Hu, have the brothers in charge of the Indian Ocean do the work, starting with the cargo ships from Singapore."

Guo Hu quickly replied, "Okay."

An hour later, international news broke that two cargo ships belonging to the Singapore National Port Transport Corporation had suddenly exploded as they were about to enter the Strait of Malacca. Both ships sank into the sea, but because they were not far from the coastline, the crew members were rescued, but all the cargo was lost.

Shortly after, Zhu Changrong called Yang Chen.

"Did you blow up my ship? Tell me!" Zhu Changrong roared angrily.

Yang Chen laughed and replied, "I'm warning you not to talk nonsense. Do you have any evidence? If you do, go sue me in the International Court of Justice, the WTO, or the United Nations. I'll accept it. If you don't have any evidence, then shut up. I could say you blew up your own ship and framed me. I can say whatever comes to mind."

Zhu Changrong immediately roared, "You don't need to deny it anymore, you did it! You're too ruthless, both ships sank, we lost 200 million Angkor dollars, 200 million Angkor dollars!"

Yang Chen said casually, "What does your financial loss have to do with me? You blocked my ship from passing, and I lost a lot of money too. Even Heaven can't stand by and watch you do such unruly things, so this is Heaven's punishment for you. Just wait, this is only the beginning. Once Heaven's punishment begins, it definitely won't just be blowing up your two ships. Enjoy it, Mr. Zhu. Haha..."

Three hours later, Yang Chen's ship still hadn't received clearance, so three container ships belonging to Singapore's New Sea Shipping Group, which were waiting to enter the port to unload their cargo, also suddenly exploded.

The crew members on board reacted quickly, jumping into the sea and swimming ashore. They stood on the shore watching the three huge cargo ships slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.

Guo Chang'an, president of Xinhai Shipping Group, was furious upon hearing the news and immediately called Yang Chen.

"Did you blow up my ship? Huh! What the hell did I do to you? Why are you messing with me?" Guo Chang'an roared.

Yang Chen said, "What did our ships do to deserve this? Why won't you let us pass through the Strait of Malacca? You like to play games, don't you? I'll play with you to the end. I've released 20,000 artificial fish swimming back and forth in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. I hope you have 20,000 ships too. Whoever admits defeat first is a son of a bitch!"

What the hell are they doing? They could only refuse Yang Chen's ship passage through the Strait of Malacca, while their own ship inexplicably sank. The damage is disproportionate.

Guo Chang'an immediately called Zhu Changrong, the president of the National Port Transportation Group.

"President Zhu, we can't continue like this. That bastard is really daring to blow things up! We don't need to suffer such a huge loss for the sake of Yifeng Group's interests!" Guo Chang'an said.

Zhu Changrong sighed and said, "Who can argue with that! I know it's unwise to do this, but this is what the higher-ups want, what can we do?"

Guo Chang'an immediately said, "Yifeng Group's interests are interests, but the interests of our ports and shipping companies aren't? They'll make a fuss, but we won't? If we make a fuss too, and things continue to drag on, who knows whose ship will be the next one to be bombed."

Zhu Changrong quickly said, "President Guo, don't worry. We'll immediately send people to the area where the incident occurred to search for the remains of the bionic fish. As long as we can find Yang Chen's bionic fish remains, we can sue him. Not only can we make him compensate for the losses, but we can also send him to jail. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Guo Chang'an said, "You're dreaming. If he dared to do it, how could he possibly leave any traces or clues?"

“How will we know it won’t work if we don’t try? Anyway, I’m not going to give up so easily, otherwise how will we survive in Singapore?” Zhu Xunhua said.

Guo Chang'an sighed and said, "Alright, let's try to find the remains of the bionic fish first."

Another three hours passed, and Yang Chen's cargo ship still hadn't received passage permission.

Chu Chang-jung, president of the National Ports and Transportation Group, was reviewing documents when his wife suddenly called.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Zhu Changrong asked. His wife said in a panic, "Come back quickly! Our house has suddenly been infested with mosquitoes, flies, spiders, and birds. The worst part is that those birds can even sing! They're obviously not real birds, but intelligent robots."

Zhu Changrong was shocked and immediately said, "Don't move, I'm going back right away!"

Meanwhile, Guo Chang'an, president of Xinhai Shipping Group, also received a call from his wife. His family was also surrounded by mosquitoes and other insects, which frightened Guo Chang'an so much that he rushed home without even putting on his coat.

When Zhu Changrong returned home, he saw mosquitoes and flies flying everywhere, and dozens of birds circling in the air. He immediately realized that this was Yang Chen's doing.

Zhu Changrong angrily called Yang Chen and recorded the conversation.

"You madman, what exactly do you want? Why did you bring all these mosquitoes and flies into my house? Do you want to kill my whole family?" Zhu Changrong questioned.

Yang Chen had long been aware of their family's every move. The idea that he could record Yang Chen's words as evidence was simply naive.

Yang Chen replied, "I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you trying to frame me again? Using your own family members as bait, you're quite ruthless."

Zhu Changrong roared, "You're insane! You're a complete madman! Nobody does things like this. If we're going to compete in business, why can't we just keep it that way? How could you target my family?"

Yang Chen laughed and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. If you want to compete with me in a legitimate business way, I'll applaud you. But using the Strait of Malacca as a pretext doesn't count as a business confrontation; it's just your unscrupulous behavior of not following the rules."

Yang Chen didn't want to waste any more words with Zhu Changrong, so he immediately hung up the phone.

Not long after, Guo Chang'an, president of Xinhai Shipping, also called Yang Chen.

"Are you crazy? What are you doing with so many mosquitoes and flies in my house? I'm warning you, don't touch my family, or I'll never forgive you!" Guo Chang'an roared.

Yang Chen asked, "So, this is all you're capable of? Your family's safety is threatened, and all you can do is call and yell? Is this all you're capable of? How dare you mess with me? I'm not afraid of mercenary organizations like Blackwater Group, do you think I'm afraid of you? I'll give you three more hours. All Chinese cargo ships will be blocked from passing. Your whole family can prepare to leave in an orderly fashion."

Yang Chen hung up the phone, packed his things, and left work.

With the safety of the entire family in Yang Chen's hands, Guo Chang'an and Zhu Changrong were finally forced to admit defeat.

Guo Chang'an called Guo Chang'an and asked bluntly, "President Zhu, should we just submit our bid?"

Zhu Changrong sighed and said, "Let's surrender..."

At this time, Yifeng Group.

President Zhu Xunhua said with a worried look, "I really didn't expect Yang Chen to dare to play like this. I'm afraid we can't threaten him."

Jinlongyu CEO Hu Ruilong said, "What should we do then? Should we still maintain our business in China?"

Zhu Xunhua said helplessly, "Of course I want to! But it seems we can't keep it up right now. A 50% price reduction would result in huge losses. Even if we use genetically modified materials to extract the oil, we'd still lose money at this price. If Yang Chen doesn't raise the price, we have no chance of survival. That damned Yang Chen, why did he have to come into the edible oil business instead of pursuing high technology?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhu Xunhua received a call from a higher-up.

"Mr. Zhu, the National Port Transportation Group and Xinhai Shipping Group have lost five ships. They, along with several other ports and shipping companies, have come to me. They can no longer sacrifice their own interests to protect yours. I respect their choice; I cannot allow the interests of so many shipping companies to be harmed for the sake of yours alone. We are surrounded by sea, and all our resources need to be imported. Shipping companies are extremely important to us, and we must prioritize protecting their interests. I hope you can understand."

After saying that, the senior staff member hung up the phone, not giving Zhu Xunhua a chance to speak. It was clear that the senior staff member meant that the matter was settled and Zhu Xunhua was not allowed any excuses.

Zhu Xunhua sighed and said, "It's a pity that our efforts failed. It's really unbelievable that we couldn't even control him after all this!"

Hu Ruilong immediately said, "Since you know it was Yang Chen who did it, why don't you sue him? What are these shipping company executives thinking? Are they just going to let it go like that?"

Zhu Xunhua said, "Where's the evidence? There's no evidence to prove that Yang Chen did it. How can we sue him without any proof?"

Hu Ruilong said, "It must be his dried bionic fish. We can definitely find the remains of the bionic fish in the sea. They can take the remains of the bionic fish to sue him."

Zhu Xunhua thought it made sense, so he called Zhu Changrong, the president of the National Port Transportation Group.

"Mr. Zhu, I have a suggestion that I hope you will consider," Zhu Xunhua said conceitedly.

Zhu Changrong immediately interrupted, "Keep your suggestions to yourself. My house is already surrounded by Yang Chen's bionic mosquitoes, flies, and birds. If we can't meet his demands, my family and I will be in mortal danger. So, I'm sorry, we can't help you anymore. The cargo ships from China must pass through the Strait of Malacca immediately and unconditionally."

Zhu Changrong immediately hung up the phone, not wanting to listen to Zhu Xunhua's nonsense.

Half an hour later, Chen Yihang, president of Xingchen Motors, called Yang Chen.

"Haha... Chairman Yang, the Strait of Malacca has been cleared, and our cargo ship is ready to pass through," Chen Yihang said excitedly.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Well, it's good that it's open."

Chen Yihang flattered, "Chairman Yang is truly amazing. He managed to win such a sure-fire defeat. It's truly admirable."

"Haha...it's nothing. Keep an eye on it, and contact me if anything comes up," Yang Chen said.

Chen Yihang quickly replied, "Understood! I'll hang up now."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, then hung up the phone.

Not long after, Kang Qi, president of Xingchen Energy, also called Yang Chen.

"Chairman Yang, our ship passed through the Strait of Malacca smoothly, thanks to your personal assistance," Kang Qi said with a smile.

Yang Chen said with a smile, "It's good that it passed. Keep an eye on things over there, and contact me if you have any problems."

Kang Qi quickly replied, "Okay, Chairman Yang, I've got it."

Soon, cargo ships from oil, petrochemical, and Biyadi companies also passed through the Strait of Malacca smoothly. The CEOs of these companies quickly called Yang Chen to express their gratitude.

Although the problem has been temporarily resolved, no one knows what the future holds.

Yang Chen had a bold idea: he wanted to actually disable the Strait of Malacca. (End of Chapter)
