Chapter 635: Success

~14 min read 2,602 words

Soon, Lao Fu Tou reminded, "A An, these people have already chased onto our turf."

Wu An scanned with binoculars, but saw no trace of the Orca Pod.

He asked, "Lao Fu, how much longer can you hold out?"

Lao Fu Tou bit the Cigarette with his teeth, grinning, "How long can you hold out?"

"A An, you're looking down on people a bit."

"As long as you speak, I can directly shake them off."

Wu An exclaimed, "Really?"

Lao Fu Tou said, "Why would I lie to you?"

"Take a good look, their fishing boat is old and dilapidated."

"Our boat is new, and it's just been maintained."

"There's no catch on board now; if I could still be caught by them, all those years drifting at sea would have been for nothing."

Wu An laughed, "Then I can relax."

The other ship had no heavy weapons, and Lao Fu Tou wouldn't give them a chance to board forcibly.

Just keep them dangling like that.

Whether Hu Zi arrives or law enforcement arrives, these guys won't escape.

Just thinking about being able to net them all in one go made Wu An's heart race, and he felt exhilarated.

Wu An said, "Lao Fu, keep the speed steady."

"We'll just keep them on a steady, leisurely chase."

Lao Fu Tou nodded.

He knew Wu An's plan.

But he thought it unrealistic; they're not idiots—if they sensed something wrong, they could turn and flee—how could they stay and wait to be caught?

With just their boat, it's impossible to stop them.

But he didn't say more.

Anyway, it's like killing two birds with one stone—effortless.

For now, it's safe enough; let's just keep it like this.

Plus, it's getting dark.

Actually, for them it's a good thing—as long as he wants, he can break away at any time.

In the lounge.

A Qing and the others were also anxious.

From time to time they checked in via walkie-talkie.

Wu An didn't hide anything; he told them the situation was fine, to put their minds at ease, but still didn't allow them to leave the lounge.

But we can't pop the champagne halfway through.

Before Hu Zi and the law enforcement boat arrive, we must stay vigilant at all times.

……

As the saying goes.

When enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred.

What's more, Wu An's crew ruined their plans—they were hired to bring the two people on the island to an ocean freighter for a payout of two hundred thousand.

That money is practically free.

The result.

When they arrived, they found the opposing fishing boat near the island.

It didn't look good.

Upon catching up and taking a look,

Well.

They had dealt with him before, and in their eyes, Wu An was a real troublemaker who had caused their fishing boat to run aground, nearly wrecking it at sea.

As for why the conflict happened, they selectively forgot that they had been the ones to start the pursuit.

Upon catching up and asking,

The other side even voluntarily admitted they had already captured their 'clients'.

That's absolutely unacceptable!

"Chase after them!"

"We must catch up!"

The captain shouted loudly.

Actually.

To some extent, they and Wu An were mutually rushing toward each other.

Someone reported: "Wei Ge, we've already crossed the midline."

"Moreover, their fishing boat is a bit faster than ours."

"Chasing like this, we simply can't catch up!"

Just then.

Others shouted, "The speed of the opposing fishing boat has dropped."

Captain Wei Ge picked up the binoculars, took a look, and shouted excitedly, "Good, good!"

"Maybe their fishing boat has a problem."

As a result, they were about to catch up, but the other fishing boat sped up again, making everyone on the boat very frustrated; they were clearly just a little bit away.

Wei Ge clenched his fists, stamping his feet in frustration: "Damn, damn, we clearly already caught up!"

He felt extremely uneasy.

The fishing boat owner behind asked about the situation over the intercom and advised, "let's just leave it."

One of them directly said, "You fool!"

"Can't you see that the other side is doing it on purpose?"

"Are you planning to chase them to their dock?"

Heard this far.

Wei Ge above calmed down and said, "Even so, we can't just let it be!"

"Damn."

"How dare you mess with me like this."

"I have to give him a lesson!"

The owners of the two fishing boats behind asked, "A Wei, don't act rashly."

"This isn't our territory."

"If problems arise, it'll be hard to handle."

Especially now; if it were a few years ago, they'd cross the median line, circle around, and wouldn't mind even encountering the enforcement ships on the other side.

If it were several decades ago, the sea would still be under their rule.

But times are different now.

The opposite shore is now so powerful that it has completely suppressed them here.

In recent years, the opposite shore's fishing boats often come to their side for harvesting, which is evident, and it's said those boats are even instructed.

They're just showing off their muscles on purpose.

"Do you dare to make a move?"

"I don't dare."

"If you act, they'll immediately make you pay."

Wei Ge said, "Damn, you two are following right behind me; if anything goes wrong, I'm the one who'll take it. We're such cowards!"

"The three of us will pull off a plan."

"The odds of winning are high."

The other side was silent for a moment, then asked, "How do you want to do it?"

Wei Ge: "Ram them."

"And then?"

"If there's a chance, board the ship and rescue the client; if not, just leave." Wei Ge said irritably, "Last time they caused me to run aground; this time, I must make them look good."

The other two fishing boat owners also knew Wei Ge's temperament, so they could only reluctantly agree.

Even if a collision causes some problem.

Their two boats could also pull Wei Ge's boat away.

And if the other side's fishing boat also runs into trouble, they'll have to wait for rescue.

In comparison.

The advantage indeed lies on their side.

……

Lao Fu Tou keenly noticed the opposing fishing boat charging straight at them, with no intention of flanking, and quickly warned, "A An, something's off."

Wu An held the intercom for a moment and said, "Looks like they're about to ram us."

Lao Fu Tou said, "We need to increase our speed."

Wu An didn't hesitate: "Accelerate."

"No more walking the dog."

At the same time.

He picked up the intercom and reminded A Qing that they should prepare to meet the impact.

But it was already dark.

Sailing at night is already dangerous, and with many reefs nearby, Lao Fu Tou didn't dare push the speed to the limit.

Otherwise, if they collided, it would be a huge trouble.

The fishing boats behind had no worries; as long as they followed them, they could avoid danger, so they pushed the speed to the limit.

Although hidden reefs were a risk, Lao Fu Tou instead used the island reefs to create distance from the boats behind.

The two boats, one ahead of the other, sped up on the sea.

Wu An's expression turned sour: "Is this letting the dog run too fast?"

Lao Fu Tou said, "If the three ships collide head‑on, we are the ones who'll lose."

Wu An took out a satellite phone and called Yu Kai Lang.

Yu Kai Lang answered quickly.

"Hey, where's the enforcement ship?"

"I don't know."

"Didn't I tell you to inform the higher‑ups?"

"I notified them; the higher‑ups have already acted, but… no one informed me."

"Why?"

"...... Because I'm just a small police officer."

"You didn't tell the higher-ups, are you my friend?"

"...... Didn't say."

"Yu Kai Lang thought, Would saying anything help? Anyway, I'm still a police officer; what are you? You're not even in the system."

"Wu An was a bit anxious: 'Ask them quickly.'"

"I'll give you the coordinates."

"It would be best if you could tell me the estimated arrival time of the law enforcement vessel, the more precise the better."

"After hanging up, Wu An held his binoculars and looked at the distant sea."

"Hu Zi, Hu Zi."

"Please come quickly."

"If you don't come soon, I'm going to be bullied to death."

"At this moment, Wu An felt like he was watching a cop-and-robber movie; obviously the police had been mobilized for half a day, yet the protagonist ended up risking his life for half a day."

"After waiting for that to finish, the police finally came rushing in with wailing sounds."

"It's not a bad egg, is it?"

"Whoo..."

"Just then."

"A gust of sea wind blew in through the window, bringing with it an ethereal sound."

"Wu An froze."

"He raised his binoculars again to look."

"It had grown dark, which greatly affected visibility, but one could still see the abnormal undulations of the sea surface!"

"Orca pod!"

"Hu Zi didn't disappoint him, arriving just in time!"

"Whoo..."

"The sound grew louder and gradually became clearer."

"Lao Fu Tou also heard it and shouted, 'A An, listen, that sounds like a killer whale's call.'"

"Wu An laughed and said, 'Right.'"

"I saw it too."

"Hu Zi is here!"

"Lao Fu Tou breathed a sigh of relief; Hu Zi had arrived, and without saying anything else, at least they were now in an invincible position."

"Wu An started cursing: 'Damn thing.'"

"Bullying our ship?"

"Damn it, call for reinforcements to scare you to death."

"Lao Fu Tou also laughed."

"Indeed."

"With a killer whale as an ally at sea, who wouldn't be afraid upon seeing it?"

"This is also Wu An's confidence to provoke the other side."

"Otherwise."

"If one truly relied solely on hot-blooded enthusiasm to go on an adventure, that wouldn't be passion but pure recklessness."

"The orca pod's speed is great; they quickly approached."

"Hu Zi came over to say hello."

"Wu An came onto the deck."

"Wei Ge saw this and also came out."

"In his view, he and Wu An were evenly matched opponents, so he thought Wu An wanted to say something to him."

"Wei Ge puffed on his cigarette and shouted arrogantly, 'Ah Lu Zai, you coming to bow your head?'"

"Wu An gave him the middle finger."

"At this moment."

"Hu Zi poked his head out, sprayed a jet of water; because he was moving fast, the spray went backward and drenched Wei Ge completely."

"Wei Ge wiped the water from his face, saw the killer whale following the fishing boat, and widened his eyes: 'Holy shit, what the hell is this!'"

"Wu An touched Hu Zi."

"Now the situation is urgent; without chatting with Hu Zi, he directly gave him a few instructions."

"This wasn't the first time they'd teamed up with Hu Zi to cause trouble."

"Hu Zi let out a call and quickly dove down."

"Wu An smiled at Wei Ge, turned, and walked into the wheelhouse."

"Their two boats were very close; with Hu Zi leading the orca pod to cause trouble, it would definitely affect him."

"Wei Ge felt bewildered."

"Wei Ge, there's an orca pod."

"The orca pod is very close to us."

"This is a bit troubling."

"Everyone was shouting all at once; Wei Ge, annoyed, shouted, 'What's there to worry about?'"

"Could the orca pod possibly attack us?"

The words just fell.

The fishing boat suddenly rocked twice.

Wei didn't keep his footing, slumped onto the ground, wailing in pain, baring his teeth as he shouted, "What's going on?"

"Where did such a big wave come from?"

A deckhand shouted in terror, "It's a Killer Whale!"

"The Killer Whale is creating a surge."

"Heaven above."

The other deckhands also saw it and shouted in panic.

"May Mazu protect us."

"The Orca Pod is doing this to hunt; we're a fishing boat, so it shouldn't happen, right?"

"Ah, damn it."

Wave after wave slammed in, the fishing boat heaved violently, the whole cabin a mess, and Wei was knocked senseless.

He felt a warm sensation on his face.

He reached out and wiped.

Looking down at his hand, it was blood!

Wei was terrified, yet the image of Wu An just now smiling at him flashed involuntarily in his mind, sending a chill down his spine.

Damn!

Could the Orca Pod have been summoned by that guy?

Impossible!

Don't freak yourself out.

Wei steadied himself on something and stood up, shouting, "Don't panic."

"Hold steady first."

"Adjust the rudder, stop the chase, we're heading back."

Soon after, the intercom crackled with two other fishing boat captains asking, also urging Wei to adjust the rudder quickly.

The Orca Pod inexplicably came to cause trouble.

We can't chase any longer.

Wei promptly replied, "I'm already turning the rudder…"

Before he could finish, his whole body was flung sideways, hitting something unknown; the pain made tears burst out instantly.

Wu An saw the scene and laughed heartily, "Well done."

When the fishing boat turned the rudder, the Killer Whale slammed into it, nearly capsizing the boat.

Although the commotion was huge, Wei's boat used it to complete the rudder turn quickly.

Lao Fu Tou shouted, "A An, the other side is trying to flee."

Wu An nodded.

In this situation, he had no other recourse but to watch the scene, feeling a bit regretful yet not disappointed, since Ma Weiqun had already been captured.

This trip already counts as a great success.

He thought scaring the opponent into fleeing was fine, but then saw the Killer Whale strike the boat again, skewing the already corrected rudder.

"Is that Hu Zi?"

"Probably not; Hu Zi isn't that big, it must be the lead whale."

"Then it must have been at Hu Zi's request."

"A An, if that's the case, this fishing boat probably won't survive."

"Hu Zi earned a great merit."

"Hahaha, you earned the great merit."

"That's not really fair, I'm stealing Hu Zi's credit."

"Even if you speak truthfully, no one will believe it; I think Hu Zi wouldn't mind."

"I think so too."

"Hahaha."

The two laughed and chatted, Wei's fishing boat ran far away, out of their reach, and Wu An quickly informed A Qing that they should come out to watch.

On the Deck.

A Qing shouted excitedly, "Hu Zi did well."

"Damn, that's fierce."

"I think if the Killer Whales work together they could definitely capsize the fishing boat."

Compared with their relaxed joy, Wei and his crew were in deep trouble.

Wei shouted, "Come up with a plan."

"Drive the Killer Whales away!"

"Whoever goes to the Deck to attack the Killer Whale, I'll give them ten thousand bucks!"

No one answered.

Going onto the Deck while the fishing boat pitched wildly, that money is probably earned with one's life and spent without it.

No one was willing to go.

Wei took the intercom and called for help.

But after a long while there was no reply; a deckhand cried out, saying the two fishing boats behind had already turned and fled.

They were abandoned!

When it rains, it pours.

The fishing boat seemed to have been damaged by the collision and stopped working.

But Wei Ge was surprised to discover that, as the fishing boat stopped, the orca pod did not hit the boat again.

But he wasn't happy at all.

Because.

When the fishing boat stopped, they were like turtles in a jar.

They could only wait to be caught.
