CHAPTER 88: CHAPTER 88 CELESTIAL BRILLIANCE GROUP!

"Monica, was there any casualties on the transport ship?"

Jiang Cheng asked as he slowly calmed his fluctuating emotions.

"No, those pirates only followed our transport ship in speedboats, and continuously fired shots along the way, which frightened our staff. Additionally, there are many bullet holes on the surface of the ship that require it to return to the factory for maintenance." Monica reported to Jiang Cheng in detail.

After hearing Monica’s words, Jiang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Currently, this result is the best outcome. If there were casualties, then the incident would definitely escalate, and the negative impact would be even more severe, which would be a major blow to the Jiang Shipping that is just in its growth phase.

However, even without casualties, there will definitely be impacts. It is expected that the news has already been embellished by various major media outlets.

"Nika, send the order, give each employee on the attacked transport ship a compensation of 10,000 USD, and tell them that this matter will not be easily resolved like this. Jade Island will give them a satisfactory response!" Jiang Cheng said with a flickering gaze, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Jiang Cheng cannot control the external reports, nor does he want to engage in a war of words with these media people; it is meaningless. He will solve this matter in his own way!

Of course, before that, it is necessary to appease his employees, as they are Jade Island’s most valuable resource.

Faced with such a shocking incident, the crew must also be quite frightened. If Jiang Cheng cannot calm them, who would dare to board the ship in the future?

If Jade Island cannot provide the strength to protect them, then everyone will likely be trembling with fear while navigating the vast ocean, which is too damaging to Jiang Shipping’s development, and Jiang Cheng will never accept it!

Therefore, after calming these employees, he must quickly come up with counteraction plans!

Upon thinking this, Jiang Cheng took out his phone and dialed Mr. Li’s number, instructing him to gather all high-level management personnel on Jade Island. He has a major proposal to implement.

...

Philippines.

Luzon Island, Amota Prison.

The Amota Prison, established by the Philippines government, is located along the coast of Amota Bay.

The entire prison is built in a circular structure resembling the Roman Colosseum, with a heavy circular outer wall surrounding it.

From a distance, the prison looks exceptionally ominous and terrifying.

Inside, all the renowned heavy criminals of the Philippines are detained. According to official statements, once a criminal enters, they can never leave this prison.

In the deepest part of the prison, inside a luxurious suite.

There’s an LCD TV, a silk bed, a massage bathtub, modern high-end electrical appliances and communication devices – all available.

At this moment, a menacing man with a crew cut, with a cigar in his mouth, is lying in the massage bathtub, enjoying the massage of two voluptuous, scantily-clad sexy women.

Renaldo Paro!

A notorious drug lord known across the Philippines!

Renowned across Southeast Asia.

Ten years ago, he was accidentally captured and imprisoned in Amota Prison, but even though he disappeared from the Philippine people’s sight, his reputation remained as influential as ever!

After enjoying the women’s massage, Paro waved his hand, took the phone from beside him, and dialed the only number on his contact list.

"Mr. Wu, the matter that Celestial Brilliance Group entrusted to me has been successfully completed. I hope after I hang up, I will see good news in my account." Paro said in a gruff voice.

After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

Meanwhile.

Mindanao Island.

Sulu Province, in a luxurious manor.

The current leader of Celestial Brilliance Group, Wu Tianyao, slowly set down the phone and then turned to a middle-aged man in front of him saying, "Transfer 5 million USD to Paro’s account!"

Upon hearing this, a look of hesitation flashed across the middle-aged man’s eyes, and he then asked, "Chairman, it’s best for us not to get involved in the matters between Samsung and Jade Island. If Jiang Group finds out that we are behind this, then..."

"What do you know!"

Before the middle-aged man could finish his sentence, Wu Tianyao’s expression abruptly changed, interrupting with words.

"Jiang Shipping is getting too greedy, wanting to monopolize the Asian market and giving no one else any opportunity, including us. Also, do you think with the current relationship between Celestial Brilliance Group and Jiang Group, if the other party gains strength from Jade Island, they will still leave us a chance to survive?"

Though Wu Tianyao spoke resolutely, his eyes were filled with worry.

Indeed, ever since Jade Island opened to the public, he has been living in constant anxiety.

In recent years, under the directive of the upper echelon of the Philippines government, he launched a fierce attack on Jiang Group, and with the government’s help, seized a significant portion of the business originally belonging to Jiang Group, allowing Celestial Brilliance Group to rapidly grow and become a new Chinese family group in the Philippines.

However, despite Celestial Brilliance Group’s glamorous appearance, only Wu Tianyao knows how much pressure he has endured during this period!

Back then, when his business failed and he fell on hard times in the Philippines, it was Jiang Zhenyong who helped him, which led to the establishment of Celestial Brilliance Group today.

Nevertheless, he did something so despicable, which even made him feel somewhat guilty.

Of course, it was only guilt, because in the business realm, it’s the survival of the fittest, and there should be no talk of emotions.

Originally, his plan was to take advantage of this rare opportunity to crush Jiang Group.

But just as he saw hope, the other party unexpectedly rose from the ashes with Jade Island, returning to the peak, even more spectacular than before.

Now, Wu Tianyao is genuinely afraid!

Therefore, when he received a cooperation invitation from Samsung Group a few days ago, he agreed without hesitation.

Since things can’t be resolved openly, they must be handled covertly, and he also gathered from the upper echelon of the Philippines government that some neighboring countries seem displeased with the actions of Jade Island and plan to take action against it!

Realizing this, Wu Tianyao discarded his concerns, and without hesitation, entrusted the Philippines’ largest underground force to take action against Jade Island’s transport ship!

His intentions are clear, if he can’t defeat Jade Island in technical strength, he can only start from other aspects.

Moreover, Jade Island currently lacks any protective forces, making it an empty shell, and presumably, a slight sabotage will plunge it into trouble!
