"What do the flag signals they replied with mean?"
Seeing Zhou Yu so pessimistic, Li Er, who was also holding a telescope, immediately asked in an anxious tone.
At that time, he was only concerned with watching how to drive a yacht, and didn't pay any attention to learning the flag signals at all.
Although I see the other party responding to the flag signal, I have no idea what it means.
Zhou Yu was too lazy to play along at this point. He threw the flag away and turned towards the cabin, saying, "Sizi, take A Niang and the others back to Datang first. I'll come pick you up after things are settled here."
"Yeah, Xiao Nianjun, you have to be careful~"
After hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, the little kid who was secretly poking his head out nodded in agreement immediately.
Immediately afterwards, she disappeared into the cabin with Empress Changsun and others.
After confirming that Xiao Naituanzi and the others had left, Zhou Yu sat down on a beach chair and said, "They said their boat had a problem and they had to dock on the island for safety."
"Are they... afraid that we'll run away?"
After hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, Li Er's brows immediately wrinkled into a "川" shape.
The other party's approach to the island was fake, and the real intention was to take the opportunity to approach the yacht.
Just when he thought Zhou Yu was going to run away with him, he saw Zhou Yu actually lying leisurely on the beach chair.
Seeing this, he frowned and said, "Aren't you going to leave?"
“The information about this yacht has been reported on both sides of the strait.
If we abandon the yacht here and leave, it will inevitably attract an investigation.
Since the other party has put away his weapon, I think he must still have some concerns.
My guess is that they didn't know, or weren't sure, whether we saw their weapons.
We took the initiative to use flag signals to ask them if they needed help, which helped to dispel some of their doubts.
They used flag signals to say they wanted to dock on the island, which must be a test of us.
In that case, why not stay and take a look?"
Zhou Yu first motioned Li Er to sit down with him, and then he half-closed his eyes and explained his thoughts.
"Then why don't they just ask to be boarded?"
Li Er did not comment on Zhou Yu's idea.
He was once a general who charged into battle, so he was not afraid of the scene before him.
Hearing Li Er's question, Zhou Yu first put on the demeanor of a dandy young man, then patted the beach chair under him and said, "We are driving a yacht, and this place is close to the island. How could we rashly allow them to board the boat?"
"Are you deliberately not answering their flag signals?"
Seeing Zhou Yu's behavior, no matter how slow-witted Li Er was, he guessed his intention.
"That's right."
Zhou Yu nodded, then picked up the juice on the table and took a sip.
Then he continued, "Anyone who can sail a yacht out to sea is either a wealthy individual or the son of a wealthy family. Using flag signals to inquire is fulfilling our legal obligations. As for whether the other party wants to dock at the island, that's none of our business."
According to relevant laws and regulations, ships do have an obligation to provide maritime rescue in emergency situations.
However, the prerequisite for helping others is to ensure your own safety first.
The sea is vast and people’s hearts are unpredictable.
As far as Zhou Yu knows, in the past when technology was not well developed, countless people disappeared inexplicably at sea.
It is also because of this that people sailing on the sea need to be much more cautious than people driving in the mountains.
If there is an island nearby, even if the other party asks to board the ship, you can completely refuse.
After listening to this, Li Er nodded in agreement at first, but then said playfully, "Your idea is good, but the other party doesn't seem to be as patient as you think."
"It's okay, I'm just putting it on for them."
Zhou Yu waved his hand indifferently and picked up the telescope again.
Then, he saw the speedboat that had said it was going to dock at the island actually heading straight towards the yacht.
As the speedboat got closer, the buzzing sound of the motor made Zhou Yu and Li Er frown.
Just when it was about ten meters away from the yacht, the speedboat suddenly turned ninety degrees.
Then, he used inertia to slowly move towards the yacht.
"My friend, is there any water on the boat? I'm almost dying of thirst."
As the speedboat approached, a man jumped onto the boat by grabbing the lift.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu did not panic at all, but casually pointed at the juice on the table.
The man just glanced at it and shook his head, saying, "I've been thirsty for too long. Juice won't quench my thirst. It's better to drink water."
Having said that, without asking Zhou Yu's consent, he made a gesture to walk into the cabin.
Li Er, who was standing next to him, saw this and stood in front of the man. He said in a deep voice, "Wait, I'll get it for you."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to walk into the cabin.
Upon hearing this, the man quickly bowed and expressed gratitude.
Who knew that the next moment, a shining dagger appeared in his hand.
Seeing the dagger flashing with cold light, Zhou Yu originally thought that the man was going to attack Li Er and was about to warn him.
Who knew that the next moment, the dagger with a cold glow was against his throat.
The words he was about to use to remind Li Er were stuck in his throat.
"Don't move, be quiet, or I'll stab him to death!"
The man stared fiercely at Li Er who was ready to make a move, but did not take Zhou Yu, who had been subdued by him, seriously at all.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu pretended to be frightened and said, "Brother, don't be impulsive. My family is rich. Just tell me the amount and I'll call you on the satellite phone right now."
"Shut up, who wants your money?"
