Chapters 592 and 593. Taking Down
As night fell, Gu Kaiyuan had already located the island. He moored his boat some distance away and, with the people he had arranged, quietly approached in a small boat.

The island was completely silent; it was unclear whether no one was there or everyone was resting, but none of this affected Gu Kaiyuan's plan.

The group used the waves to reach the shore smoothly, secured the small boat, and quietly made their way ashore.

Gu Kaiyuan had already drawn up a map before he arrived, so even though it was his first time logging in, he quickly found his destination.

In the quiet night, amidst the unbearable laughter and curses, and the decadent music, even the guards who had previously felt some psychological burden turned cold.

As expected, those cunning and treacherous Japanese pirates have harmed countless families in the Central Plains.

Even if they hadn't suffered greatly, they were still one family in the Rong Dynasty, and they couldn't allow these outsiders to humiliate them like this.

Even Bai Jiannan, who had come along, gritted his teeth. It seemed his brother-in-law hadn't lied to him; these people really deserved to die.

Looking at the guards beside him, he said in a low voice, "Don't hold back in the end. This is to avenge our families. Tell the brothers to give it their all, and I will reward them according to their merits later."

Before coming, he was worried that his brother-in-law might do something wrong, so he secretly instructed his subordinates to do things in the best way possible. Now it seems that he was overthinking it; he was just being petty.

The guards around him nodded emphatically and then relayed the order.

Actually, Bai Jiannan was overthinking it. Once their identities were confirmed, none of them intended to hold back.

These people thought it was an isolated island and no one would come up, so they didn't arrange for anyone to keep watch, which made it easier for Gu Kaiyuan and his group to act.

As soon as Gu Kaiyuan gave the signal, everyone rushed over and started attacking.

These people were in the middle of a great time when they were suddenly startled, and their bodies went limp. Before they could even react, some of them had already become victims of the knife.

Then came a series of piercing screams, followed by suppressed sobs.

Seeing these innocent women barely clothed, the soft-hearted guard picked up a piece of clothing and handed it to them. But before he could react, a flash of silver light appeared. His body reacted faster than his brain, and he dodged, but a bloodstain was still left on his arm.

The commotion alerted everyone, and they all stared at the woman they thought was vulnerable with unfriendly expressions.

Gu Kaiyuan snorted coldly, "Everyone, perk up! Don't pity these people. They may look no different from us, but they are all Japanese too."

The crowd couldn't understand why, if it belonged to them, they would gather together to do such disgusting things. Did they have no sense of propriety, morality, or shame?

Gu Kaiyuan seemed to see through their thoughts, "It's also my fault for not reminding you before. Did you think they would bring outsiders to their hideout?"

Gu Kaiyuan truly did not expect to encounter such a deplorable scene. In the past, when they investigated, they found that these women, despite their seemingly weak appearance, were capable of fighting them to the death with Japanese swords.

Someone had already lit all the torches, and seeing the twisted and resentful expressions on the women's faces, they believed Gu Kaiyuan's words even more.

“Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts; this is not the time to be soft-hearted.”

Bai Jiannan closed his eyes, and the charisma of the Bai family patriarch was on full display at this moment. "Give them a quick death."

Even businessmen have their rivalries, and they understand the potential consequences of leaving problems unresolved. Although they were women, he dared not underestimate them; sometimes, women can be even more terrifying when they hold grudges.

Since the patriarch had said this, the guards no longer hesitated and stepped forward to give the other party a quick death.

Gu Kaiyuan then ordered Lin Hua and the others to investigate further, and to add insult to injury if anything seemed suspicious.

"Should we report this to the authorities?" After confirming that there were no more survivors on the island, Bai Jiannan asked. Although he was a businessman, he was also a law-abiding and good businessman.

"And then?" Gu Kaiyuan rolled his eyes at him and started searching. The person was taken care of, but the reward still had to be collected.

"Never mind what I said," Bai Jiannan quickly grasped the key point, chuckling as he followed Gu Kaiyuan, "Now that everyone's been dealt with, shouldn't we go back?"

The smell in this place was really unpleasant, and Bai Jiannan felt somewhat disgusted.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "What's the rush? Send your men out to search for the water source."

He knew the water source, but his brother-in-law talked too much, so he decided to find him something to do.

"That's no problem, but we've been out for so long, if we don't go back, my sister will definitely worry." Bai Jiannan brought up Bai Suihe, just asking if she was scared.

Gu Kaiyuan didn't even turn his head. "Since you know your sister will be worried, why don't you hurry up and clean up this place? Have your men clean it up. This might be our place of residence in the future."

"No way? You want to take over this place?" It's just a dilapidated island, not very big, what can you do with it?
“Brother-in-law, you should at least find a bigger island so we can grow some things there. This place is such a hassle to even get ashore.”

"Do you really want to hand over what we finally managed to capture? Or do you want to let those Japanese pirates benefit from it again, turning this place back into their cesspool of crime?"

"By the way, brother-in-law mentioned this. Are you sure all their people are here? Could there be accomplices?" Bai Jianlan finally got smart and asked the crucial question.

"If they have accomplices, just keep taking from them until they're scared." Following their memory, they arrived at the entrance of a small cave. The cave wasn't large; it must have been dug out by them later. But it was enough for them to hold their food and valuables.

"Wow, there's more good stuff," Bai Jiannan exclaimed. "This place is really well hidden. They even lined the cave entrance with grass. Brother-in-law, how did you know that?"

“You’ve forgotten about the people I locked up in the back mountain,” Gu Kaiyuan said, using an excuse he had already prepared. “Do you think they wouldn’t know where their hideout is?”

Bai Jiannan finally understood why Gu Kaiyuan knew so much about this place even though he had never been here before. He gave him a thumbs up, thinking to himself that if he ever encountered those Japanese bandits in the future, he could spare their lives.

He doesn't know what exactly is in there, but since Gu Kaiyuan found it, he can just watch the show and not try to get ahead of everyone else.

Whatever is hidden inside, or what rare treasures it contains, is not important to him. He would often wander around the Bai family's large warehouse, and there were no rare treasures inside.

Gu Kaiyuan turned and glanced at him. "Aren't you curious?"

"I'm quite curious, especially since this is a risk-free business," Bai Jiannan said with a cheerful laugh. "I'll form a team to conquer a few more mountains later, and maybe I can accumulate some more assets."

Gu Kaiyuan didn't believe his explanation. With the Bai family's current wealth, why would they bother with such schemes? They would rather focus on other ways to make money.
