Chen Rou first meets Nie Zhao because of an anti-terrorism case involving Hong Kong's wealthy elite. He is the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, and a renowned powerful figure. Even thou...
If it weren't for the fact that Boss Nie made his first, historically significant call to his wife after the phone tower was repaired, and if Chen Rou hadn't been so experienced as to detect interference during the call, both the sand washing plant and the international police would have certainly suffered a loss, the extent of which would have been different.
But because Chen Rou was very perceptive and sensed the problem, and because she arrived just in time, at least when she and Liang Lisheng were circling at sea, the pirates were still there.
It would be ideal if we could eliminate that group of pirates very quickly.
Even if only one or two of them go back, they will already know the way to the sand plant. It's fine when the international police are around, but if they're not, there are only ordinary sand washing workers here. What if they come to retaliate?
But Nie Zhao naturally wanted to know how many people were on the pirate ship and what their weapons and equipment were like.
Because his bodyguards currently only carry one type of weapon, the Desert Eagle. Yue Zhongqi and his men are also carrying only self-defense weapons because they are afraid of being searched by the border and sea authorities on the way. They do not have heavy firepower, while pirates carry big weapons when they go out.
Considering that Yue Zhongqi and the others were also getting impatient, Nie Zhao used his mobile phone to call them and asked them to wait a little longer. He then needed to ask Liang Lisheng what kind of ship it was and how many people were on board.
Liang Lisheng is not familiar with strategic weapons, saying, "It feels like a river command boat."
River command boats are particularly long and narrow, and they are fast, but they are generally not suitable for long-distance voyages.
But it has another significant advantage: it makes a very quiet sound when it is detected, and its presence proves that there are large supply ships providing it with a fixed amount of supplies within a few hundred nautical miles, otherwise it would not be able to travel that far.
"Old ginger is spicier," Liang Lisheng looked around and clapped his hands, "Where's the map?"
Song Yuanchao and Sam both pulled out maps at the same time, but Liang Lisheng took the one Sam handed him. When Liang Sihan turned on his flashlight, flies swarmed around him in the howling sea wind. He stared at the map for a moment in the swarm of flies, drew a circle in the northwest corner, and then grabbed his son's hand to check his watch: "They were in this position 40 minutes ago, and they were stationary."
Nie Zhao took the map and looked at Song Yuanchao: "Come with me."
...
Since the other side hasn't made a move, in Nie Zhao's view, there's only one possibility: they're waiting to ambush the international police.
Since the Interpol merchant ships haven't moved, they probably haven't moved either.
There's only one best way: kill them.
Because this sea area belongs to Hong Kong, and they are pirates who have illegally infiltrated, even if they are killed, it is because they are in the wrong. The pirates dare not make a fuss, and they will have to think twice before coming here in the future.
Since it was just external eavesdropping, there was no fear of the conversation being overheard. So, Boss Nie made a call, explained the situation, and mentioned his firepower. He then asked, "Mr. Yue, I know you have few people and are carrying valuable items. If you participate, the risk is quite high. So, if you don't want to..."
On the other end of the phone, Yue Zhongqi almost cried out, but then smiled and said gently, "Boss Nie, you're being too polite. We may not have many people, but we're not afraid of risks. Besides, since you said the people coming are all pirates, in this godforsaken place, if we call the police, they probably won't be able to respond until tomorrow. We have to get there."
Nie Zhao covered the microphone with his hand and asked Song Yuanchao in a low voice, "Can you fly a helicopter?"
Song Yuanchao nodded vigorously, but realizing his boss's intention, he immediately corrected himself: "My skills are not as good as Miss Chen's."
Boss Nie's breath hitched, his eyes filled with resentment, and Song Yuanchao finally lowered his proud head.
Seeing Ms. Chen flying a helicopter, landing on an island at night without relying on radar, a layman would probably say, "This thing is so simple, I could fly it too."
But only those in the know understand that airplanes are different from cars. They are spatial, requiring coordinated hand and foot movements. While it may seem like just stepping on the pedals, pulling the throttle, and wiggling the pitch control stick, it's manageable in the air. However, on this deserted island filled with sand and gravel, takeoff and landing are hellishly difficult. If Song Yuanchao wants to fly, he'll need at least two or three more days of practice.
It wouldn't be a big deal if he died, but he was afraid of crashing his boss's plane and messing up the mission.
Nie Zhao put down his mobile phone and said, "We will deploy a speedboat and a helicopter. Take out a map, and I will mark the approximate location of the pirate ship. We will meet about 10 nautical miles away and try to take it down."
Yue Zhongqi hung up the phone and turned to look at Chen Ke: "That helicopter actually belongs to Boss Nie's family."
Chen Ke was just as surprised as him, and said, "A civil aviation pilot?"
In their minds, someone who could fly a helicopter so skillfully must be a soldier.
It turned out that the other party was just Boss Nie's employee?
Leaving that aside for now, Yue Zhongqi drew a circle on the map: "See that? There's a pirate ship right across from us. You wouldn't believe it, would you? They've been secretly following us and have come right here."
Chen Ke was shocked: "What if they run into Boss Nie?"
"If we blow out the lamps and remove the candles, we're all doomed!" Yue Zhongqi said.
Chen Ke calculated: "There are eight of us in total. One of us will stay and guard that person, and the rest of us will go together to eliminate any future troubles."
Yue Zhongqi threw down his pen: "Is that even a question?"
But he couldn't understand it either: "How come these pirates are getting stronger and more numerous the more we fight them?"
Chen Ke comforted him, "We didn't know the situation before we came, and we're still figuring things out. Be patient. If we lay a good foundation now, it will be enough for our descendants to benefit for decades."
