However, Fu Wan remained remarkably calm in the face of these two menacing-looking men.
She casually placed the sea willow tree into the kayak, then patted Big Yellow reassuringly before looking at the two men with a bright smile.
"You two are from Taiwan, right? In the end, we are all Chinese, relatives of the same root. How can you plot against your own people?"
As she said this, a hint of disgust flashed in Fu Wan's eyes, but out of consideration for their shared clan, she gave them a chance to leave.
If they don't know what's good for them, then don't blame her for being ruthless. She won't kill them, but she'll teach them a lesson.
After all, the last person who tried to kill her at sea has probably already crossed the Bridge of Helplessness.
The two men were taken aback by Fu Wan's audacity for a couple of seconds. For some reason, they sensed a murderous aura emanating from her.
Looking around, there wasn't a single other ship in sight besides theirs. They wondered where this woman got the courage to speak to them like that.
Thinking of this, one of the men rolled his eyes dismissively.
"Who would want to be related to you poor bastards? If you know what's good for you, leave your things behind, including this kayak."
"For the sake of these things, we'll spare your lives."
"Yes, leave the things behind!"
Lobsters and sea willow trees are valuable, and this kayak is also beautiful; they're just missing a kayak on their boat!
These two men were actually Chen Zhiming and Lin Jincai, the boatmen working on the fishing boat not far away.
An hour earlier, they spotted a kayak floating on the sea in the distance, and the two men, hoping to find a bargain, ran off the boat.
But they didn't expect that the kayak had an owner, and to their dismay, the owner emerged from the water just as they were about to make their move.
What's wrong with mainlanders? Trying to build rapport at this time must mean they're afraid of us.
Chen Zhiming and Lin Jincai exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with undisguised smugness.
Fu Wan chuckled. If they couldn't reach an agreement, then there was nothing more to say.
She winked at Fu Ming. The siblings were perfectly in sync. By the time Chen Zhiming and Lin Jincai reacted, a short knife was already held against their necks.
Not only that, Dahuang even bit one of their hands.
Damn, people from mainland China are still learning kung fu?
Fu Mingben knew some martial arts, and as for Fu Wan, she had learned a few moves from Fang Min. In addition, she was very strong, and ordinary men really couldn't beat her.
Chen Zhiming and Lin Jincai were dumbfounded. Lin Jincai, who was being restrained by Fu Wan, tried to break free, but Fu Wan's knife instantly cut his skin, and the stinging pain made him afraid to move.
Fu Mingchao spat on Chen Zhiming's face.
"Pah, damn it, I've been wanting to take your stuff for ages. All that whining and complaining is just an excuse to steal our things."
"You dare rob us? Didn't your grandparents tell you how they got to Taiwan?"
Chen Zhiming was about the same age as Fu Ming, and was in the prime of his life.
The two immediately started fighting, with Big Yellow barking occasionally chiming in. Seeing this, Lin Jincai wanted to go and help.
But Fu Wan was not someone to be trifled with. After two rounds, not only did the two Wanwans not gain the upper hand, but they were even forced to swallow several mouthfuls of seawater by Fu Wan and Fu Ming.
That wasn't the most infuriating part. What infuriated Fu Ming the most was that he kept muttering as he pressed the button, "I'll teach you unfilial descendants a lesson on behalf of our ancestors."
This infuriated Chen Zhiming, who usually thought mainlanders were inferior, to the point that he almost vomited blood. His eyes lit up, and he suddenly yelled for help from his companions on the fishing boat.
"Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong, come quickly and save us!"
"These two mainlanders are bullying us!"
"Murder! A mainland Chinese man has killed someone!"
Fu Wan's head was spinning from his howling, but it did have an effect. A whistle sounded, and the fishing boat indeed headed towards Fu Wan and the others.
"Haha, you're all dead!"
Chen Zhiming was extremely pleased with himself, but Fu Wan responded with a smile.
“We don’t know if we’ll live or die, but I can kill you before your ship arrives.”
The murderous intent in those words was felt not only by Chen Zhiming, but also by Lin Jincai.
But as his backer drew closer, Lin Jincai began to gloat.
He could almost see his brothers on his ship coming down to avenge them, capturing those two despicable mainlanders and giving them a good thrashing.
When the time comes, he will definitely spit twice at this mainlander!
"Don't just get excited, why don't you take a look at what's over there?"
Fu Wan kindly reminded them, and pointed out the Wind Chaser that was rushing over at top speed.
There were two places where the ship's horn sounded just now, and Fu Wan, with her sharp ears, naturally heard the movement of her own large ship.
Haha, acting like everyone has a boat.
Lin Jincai and Chen Zhiming looked over, puzzled, but when they saw the Wind Riding Waves, which was twice the size of their boat, their smiles froze instantly.
Is this a ship belonging to mainlanders?
That shouldn't be the case. How could they possibly afford such a large ship?
But if not, why is the flag flying on that ship that damn red?!
As soon as Fu Ming saw his boat approaching, he whistled at the two men.
"Hey, why aren't you laughing? Is our ship ugly?"
Lin Jincai is a man of flexibility and adaptability; the beating Fu Wan just gave him has made him behave himself.
He had intended to intimidate the two men with his own boat, but now it seems they'd better back down.
After all, the waters they are in are still within China's territory, and if a conflict breaks out later, they will not come out on top.
Especially since the other party's ship is so big, if they were to collide with it, wouldn't they total the ship that their owner bought with a loan?
"Comrade, comrade, we admit defeat, we surrender."
"Please let us go, we really didn't mean to."
Before Fu Wan and Fu Ming could react to Lin Jincai's words, Chen Zhiming turned to look at Lin Jincai in disbelief.
What's wrong with Brother Cai? Is he possessed by a water ghost?
Lin Jincai had no time to explain in detail; he looked at Fu Wan and Fu Ming with a pleading expression.
Fu Wan scoffed, "Don't be like that, didn't you just say we crossed the line? What, are you saying we haven't now?"
"It's not that you crossed the line, it's that we crossed it, we crossed it."
If they hadn't been in the water, Lin Jincai would have been kneeling down.
Fu Wan also felt bored that Lin Jincai had backed down so quickly.
Although the two had just become greedy, they didn't cause them any harm. On the contrary, Fu Wan and Fu Ming tortured them terribly.
"We're in a good mood today, so we'll let you go. Don't forget your roots. When you two look down on mainlanders, remember where your ancestors came from."
If it weren't for Lin Jincai and his group's arrogant attitude at the beginning, Fu Wan wouldn't have bothered to fight them.
Lin Jincai had nothing more to say but nodded repeatedly in agreement. As for Chen Zhiming, he wanted to say something, but Lin Jincai covered his mouth.
Seeing this, Fu Wan nodded to Fu Ming, signaling him to release Chen Zhiming.
It's not that Lin Jincai was cowardly. Ever since they discovered the "Riding the Waves" fishing boat, their fishing boat had stopped at the boundary line and dared not move forward at all.
