The next morning, they got ready and went to the dock.
Everyone has completed their tasks and is waiting for them to return.
Let's go!
With a wave of his hand, the old man signaled the fleet to set sail.
They also stopped at other places along the way to resupply, and stayed for a few days in places that they found interesting to collect local specialties.
With so many people gathered together, it was quite lively.
Bai Yajing can now drive a boat, and these past few days she's become obsessed with fishing.
The old man let her do whatever she wanted.
They were sailing normally on the sea when suddenly the captain sent someone to inform them.
"There's a boat ahead..."
The visitor's complicated expression clearly showed his dislike for the other party.
Bai Yajing glanced at the map and said knowingly, "The Japanese devils?"
The newcomer looked constipated. "Yeah! They've spotted us too, and they're heading this way, constantly chattering on the phone!"
"Did they find out which country we are from?"
Liangzi scratched her head. "No, the captain found them annoying and left them behind."
Bai Yajing's eyes lit up, and she said to the old man, "Grandpa, our flags are a bit dirty, let's put them down and wash them!"
The old man raised an eyebrow and looked at her teasingly. Bai Yajing blinked her big eyes at him, and he instantly understood what his granddaughter wanted to do.
"Hahaha, yeah, I haven't even showered since we set off! Go on, go on!"
Bai Yajing smiled and grabbed the map. "Alright, Liangzi, hurry up and take down all the flags on our ship and give them a good wash!"
Liangzi didn't know what was going on, but he was obedient, so he immediately went down to give the orders.
Bai Yajing went to the cockpit to find the captain.
"Teacher, please take a break, I'll drive!"
The captain suspiciously gave her his seat, not forgetting to remind her, "There's a troublesome guy following behind, so speed things up and get out of there!"
"It's really bad luck to run into them! They're so annoying!"
Bai Yajing smiled knowingly, "Relax, I know, you should go and rest!"
The captain, aware of her skills, nodded and left.
As soon as he left, Bai Yajing's smile changed, and she stretched the muscles in her arms and fingers.
After a series of maneuvers, the boat was brought within a controllable range. Then they called back and spoke for a while, basically saying that since we had passed through their waters, we needed to disembark for inspection, and that if we didn't cooperate, they would take measures, and so on.
Bai Yajing pursed her lips, thinking, "That's ridiculous. According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), all ships of all countries have the right of innocent passage within territorial waters (usually within 12 nautical miles from the baseline)."
This refers to the continued and rapid passage of ships without compromising the peace, good order, or security of the coastal state.
Under this right, the coastal state shall not impede the innocent passage of foreign vessels, shall not exercise criminal jurisdiction over passing foreign merchant ships (except in particularly serious circumstances), and generally shall not have the right to compel boarding and inspection.
So they're completely talking nonsense! Besides, what she saw through the binoculars wasn't a patrol boat; either they were after their cargo, or they were after their ship!
Regardless of who he was, she ignored his rambling and pressed the button directly.
"Bang!"
