Chapter 638: Grand and Mighty

Wu An nodded, and a relaxed smile finally appeared on his face.

The other side couldn't possibly turn the tables now.

It's settled.

Soon.

One law enforcement vessel after another arrived, mainly those that operated near the sea, and almost all of them showed up.

It could truly be called a "joint law enforcement" operation.

They surrounded but did not arrest.

The entire sea area was lit up by lights as if it were daytime.

A Qing scratched his ear and cheek: "Brother, you said so many people have already come, why aren't they making arrests?"

Wu An chuckled: "What's the rush? Let the bullets fly a bit longer."

"I reckon everyone on that ship is about to piss themselves from fear."

Mei Wu laughed: "What's frightening isn't death, but the wait for it."

"These people must be suffering terribly right now."

"I'd say it's worse than dying."

They gloated over the misfortune, but what they said was one-sided and superficial, because the actual situation is far more serious than they described.

If it weren't for Wei Ge stopping them, everyone would have already run out with their hands over their heads.

Wei Ge kicked the frightened guy into a corner and then shouted: "Don't panic!"

"We're from the opposite shore."

"They dare not do anything to us."

"Maybe if they catch us they'll have to treat us well, feed us nicely, and finally send us back."

Actually.

Compared to that, facing these law enforcement officers, he is actually less afraid.

After all.

These are all people.

They can communicate, they can talk.

Rather than being like the Killer Whale that eats people and doesn't even spit out the bones.

"Really?"

"Could they really treat us that well?"

"Then hurry up and let them come arrest us—I can barely stand it anymore."

"Mom, I swear I'll never work at sea again."

Various shouts intertwined.

Wei Ge cursed: "A bunch of idiots!"

"If we don't go out, we won't have the qualifications to negotiate with them."

"Listen to Wei Ge."

"In this situation, we must stay united."

"Right, don't let the other side look down on us."

……

Night had grown deep.

Wu An and the others, being idle, prepared a relatively abundant night snack and started eating.

Wu An made a lot.

Everyone pitched in, preparing everything edible on the ship.

Wu An called out: "We can't eat alone."

"Give everyone a share."

Mei Wu said: "They might not necessarily eat it."

Wu An said: "What's the big deal?"

"It's just some food and drink."

After it was ready, Wu An led the effort to deliver the food, but at first everyone kept refusing.

When a leader spoke, a young guy finally took a cup of juice with a grin.

"Thanks, the rush of departure left me really thirsty."

"This fried fish meat is delicious."

"Wow, there's also red-braised pork?"

"More than that—look at this steamed fish, this fish is really not small."

"This food is better than what I eat at home."

Wu An casually asked: "What are we waiting for?"

The leader smiled and said: "Waiting..."

Just then.

In the distance, red lights flashed in the sky, followed by rumbling sounds.

Everyone looked up.

Upon seeing clearly, everyone widened their eyes—it was a fleet of combat helicopters.

The helicopters hovered in the sky.

The generated sound waves are very loud; not to mention Wei Ge and the others, even Wu An and the others, looking up, feel a strong sense of oppression.

Someone sighed: "Just a pacemaker."

Someone chuckled: "Quite a crew, with such a big show, looks like they're getting serious."

Wu An was also very eager.

However, it probably wouldn't come to that; this matter still couldn't be the spark. In such a situation, he also felt very excited, as if creating history, becoming part of history.

Soon.

Wei Ge and the others ran out; as soon as they emerged, they knelt on the ground, crawled onto the deck, and covered their heads with both hands.

Very sensible.

No way.

Anyone who has a combat helicopter's gun barrel pointed at them will become very sensible.

Wei Ge also was dazed.

The law enforcement boat came over; that's still understandable.

But these combat helicopters showing up really caught him off guard.

Not my buddy...

Really?

Forget other things; just these lowly scum, do they deserve such a big show?

They're not worthy.

I'm not worthy!

This is absolutely ridiculous!

He just wanted to make some quick money; he also considered the possible risks, but thought the biggest risk was at most getting caught and fined a little.

He never dreamed it would turn out like this!

Soon.

Special forces personnel descended from the sky, came onto the deck, and took control of everyone.

As Wei Ge and the others were arrested, someone came to ask whether Wu An wanted to go back with them.

Wu An thought it over and decided to go back.

This trip was originally meant to cause trouble for Ma Weiqun, but I never expected it to go so smoothly.

It took only a day to successfully apprehend the person, and we also ended up catching several others.

The gains were substantial.

Catching them was just the start; there's still plenty to keep us busy.

Nothing more to say.

He caused such a big stir; agreeing to two interviews seems quite reasonable, doesn't it?

Giving him a commendation ceremony wouldn't be over the top, would it?

Getting the county's outstanding youth honor should be a shoo‑in, right?

If at any point someone needs to reach him but can't, that would be quite a hassle.

So we need to head back.

The return was swift, thanks to lights guiding us the whole way.

Just follow the lights and keep heading straight.

Early morning.

The fishing boat moored at Zhen Shang Ma Tou.

The dock had been sealed off with live fire; being night, the impact was minor.

Yet there were still many onlookers gathered around the perimeter.

"I'm back."

"So many law enforcement vessels."

"And that's not even..."

"I can't make it out."

"Yeah, there are just too many ships; you can't see what's happening."

Wu An's fishing boat lay in the midst, surrounded and moored farther out, so nobody spotted it.

The reporters assigned to cover it also couldn't get in due to the dock blockade.

Wu An saw Zhang Haifeng.

Zhang Haifeng eagerly shook his hand while reporters filmed nearby.

"Comrade Wu An, sorry for the trouble."

"I'll need a bit of your time later."

"These are reporters sent by the city; they have a few questions for you."

Wu An agreed at once, saying the leaders were just being polite, and that was only proper.

In fact, he had been wishing for this.

After the interview.

The reporters rushed off, eager to make the deadline.

Shortly after.

Zhang Haifeng arranged a car to take Wu An and his companions away; meanwhile, Ma Weiqun and Lin Bin had already been taken away.

What happens from here on out is not Wu An's concern.

The driver was Yu Kai Lang.

"A An, you're really awesome." It's already the middle of the night, Yu Kai Lang has been staying up, yet he's not sleepy at all.

He was so excited about taking part in such a big operation that he howled.

After getting home, this little police officer also had something to boast about.

Wu An casually said: "We've been there before; this time we decided to work there, and as a result we discovered a fish-trapping device on the island."

"We just went up to the island to have a look."

"Then we ran into Lin Bin, next we caught Ma Weiqun, and finally you also know."

Yu Kai Lang gave a thumbs-up with both hands: "This time you've made a great contribution; I don't know how the higher-ups will reward you."

Wu An quickly had him hold the steering wheel, smiling and asking: "And what about you?"

Yu Kai Lang chuckled: "The year-end bonus is definitely indispensable; if luck is good, I might even get transferred to the county."

"This is also thanks to your influence."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the chance to advance now; I'd probably have to struggle for several more years."

Saying this, his tone carried a hint of gratitude; he felt that meeting Wu An was simply the luckiest thing since he started working.

Arrived home.

Wu An opened the door; Father and his older brother and sister-in-law heard the noise and all got up to look.

Seeing Wu An come back, they were quite surprised.

"How come you're back already?"

"You didn't even call to let us know."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, right?"

Everyone kept asking.

Wu An said it's nothing, because he's coming back with good news; if you don't believe me, just wait and see tomorrow's newspaper.

After saying that, he went back to his room to sleep.

He was actually exhausted, practically falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Meanwhile.

The interrogation of Ma Weiqun and others has already begun.
