Those are all treasures of China. She traveled thousands of miles to the beautiful country to retrieve them, but these beasts smuggled their own treasures out of the country. If she didn't know, she could have let it go, but now that she knows, Fu Wan can't just ignore it.
Seeing that Fu Wan had made up her mind, Boss Fu didn't say anything more, nodded in a deep voice, and went back to continue questioning Zhang Fugui.
Fu Wan turned to Ye Xiaocui and instructed, "Mother, Aunt, you should go back to the rest cabin first. We'll set sail back immediately."
"Alright, alright, Wan, just inform Leader Sun and the others about this. We don't need to worry about anything else."
Ye Xiaocui was also afraid. Smugglers were not easy to deal with, and many of them were even dangerous. If they were to chase after them, no one could be sure what would happen.
"Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Fu Wan comforted Ye Xiaocui, who nodded. Before leaving, she and Jiang Chunlan quickly tidied up the dishes in the restaurant.
Fu Wan waved to Bai Qianzhou, signaling him to come with her to the headquarters.
The radio on the Sailoring Waves was also installed with Bai Qianzhou's help, and Fu Wan has not used it to contact the camp since she opened the ship.
"Ah Wan, this is no small matter. It's probably not a simple smuggling case. Leader Sun probably hasn't returned from Beijing yet. Should we inform Uncle Zhao again?"
Ever since Bai Qianzhou heard Zhang Fugui recount his ordeal, he had been pondering how to handle the situation.
Having not heard Zhao Gang's name for a long time, Fu Wan was stunned for a moment before remembering who Uncle Zhao Bai Qianzhou was talking about.
"Anything is fine. Notify them as soon as possible. I'm afraid those people will run away."
Bai Qianzhou nodded and quickly operated the radio.
Fu Wan started the ship, preparing to sail the "Riding the Waves" back first.
She had just thought about it, and realized that she hadn't completely ignored what Ye Xiaocui and Boss Fu had said. With so many people on the ship, if something really happened, she would regret it immensely.
If she were alone on the boat, she would definitely chase after it without saying a word.
Now, since my mother and children are all on the boat, I'll just leave it at that.
“Awan, Zhang Fugui said he drifted from the northwest, and I guess the smuggling ship is also in that direction.”
"He was thrown overboard about an hour ago. The smuggling ship will be making a transaction on the high seas at midnight tonight. We need to report this information immediately!"
Fu Wan nodded, and Bai Qianzhou, who was standing beside her, quickly relayed the information.
"There's been a response from the camp, but I tried contacting Uncle Zhao by telegram, and there's still no reply."
Bai Qianzhou remained silent for a moment, still pondering whether there were other ways to contact the police. However, it wasn't a major problem; even without Sun Shao-ping, the camp should contact the coast guard soon.
Just then, Fu Wan suddenly noticed a bright light flickering in the corner of her eye. She looked up and saw a fishing boat a hundred meters away, and the light was coming from there.
"Could this be that smuggling ship?"
"It should be an ordinary fishing boat."
Boss Fu picked up his binoculars and took a look. Although the weather had been unstable lately, some fishermen from poor families were still gritting their teeth and going out to sea to fish.
The ship showed no intention of communicating with them. Although they were far apart, Fu Wan could vaguely see that someone on the ship was setting nets.
Okay, maybe I was just too nervous.
Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh. What was wrong with her? She had mistaken a fishing boat for a smuggling vessel!
However, just then, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded outside. Fu Wan looked over and was surprised to see Fu Ming looking anxious.
"Awan, Father, have you seen that ship?"
"Zhang Fugui said that was the smuggling ship he boarded!"
"What?"
Boss Fu was shocked, but then immediately realized what was happening.
"I'll steer the boat. Ah Wan, you all go back to your cabins first."
Fu Wan shook her head, "I'm not going. How could I leave you here alone at a time like this?"
"Father, it's definitely too late to leave. Our ship is much bigger than theirs. Let's see what they're up to first."
"Yes, Awan is right, let's see what they're up to!"
Fu Ming nodded in agreement, and Boss Fu composed himself.
As they spoke, the ship drew closer and closer.
The two ships were quite different in size. As the other ship drew closer, another ship's whistle sounded.
Immediately afterwards, shouts were heard.
"Comrade, good evening. Where are you from?"
Without thinking, Fu Ming replied, "And where are you from?"
"Oh, we're from a nearby fishing village! Comrade, is this a fishing boat too? It's really impressive. Why aren't you using nets to fish?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan walked over to Fu Ming's side. The two boats were now about thirty meters apart. The person who spoke looked honest and unremarkable, the kind of person who would be easily lost in a crowd.
"Oh, we're going out to sea to fish today, but the weather's bad so we're not planning on trawling."
Hey bro, how's your harvest going?
Just as Fu Wan was about to speak, Fu Laoda gestured for her to take control of the boat, while he walked to Fu Ming's side and shouted at the boat.
"Oh dear, the weather has been bad these past few days, and we haven't had much of a harvest."
"Brother, was that comrade who just spoke your son? You two look so alike."
After saying that, the man chuckled twice, then whispered a few words to the shadows beside him. Fu Wan, who was watching from the cockpit, only then noticed that there was a man standing in the shadows.
The man had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and was staring greedily at the "Riding the Waves" ship.
Fu Wan reasonably suspected that their inquiries about the "Riding the Waves" were actually a pretext to hijack and seize the ship.
As Fu Wan had predicted, the "Riding the Waves" ship was too eye-catching, making Xu Laobie on board extremely envious.
"Do you remember anyone around here who owns a boat that big?"
"Boss, it should be from Fujia Village. I remember there's a guy there called Boss Fu. I heard he's good at shipping and bought a large ship that's been converted from a foreign vessel."
"I think this is the one."
Boss Fu? That name sounds intimidating.
Xu Laobie took a deep drag on his cigarette, then threw the rest into the sea.
"Damn it, let the dwarf head somewhere else. We can't handle this ship right now, so let's not mess with him."
The younger brother next to him was a little disappointed when he heard this.
"Boss, are we just going to let them go like this? They just said they were fishing, maybe there's a big catch on the boat?"
Xu Laobie, who was about to turn around and go back to the cabin, paused, glared at his underling with a dark face.
"I told you, let them go!"
He was out in international waters and had heard about the recent disappearance of a pirate ship.
This big ship is definitely not that simple. The boss Fu who just spoke, along with the other two young men, are all tall and strong, and they must know a thing or two.
He has a lot of cargo in his hold today, so we have to be careful.
"Big brother, let's get back to work, see you later!"
"Hey, see you later!"
