far away.
The fishing boats that were slowly approaching suddenly turned around when they saw the Youlong, and seemed to be in a hurry.
The ship, which had been moving steadily, suddenly accelerated, the engine roared, and the hull pitched and rolled as it chased after the Youlong.
Moreover, a crew member stood at the bow of the ship, raised the flag, and began signaling with flags.
On the Youlong, Captain Sun also noticed the strangeness of the fishing boat. He stared at the flag signals for a while and asked Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, it seems that someone on this fishing boat is injured and needs help. What do you think?"
"Don't slow down, continue returning." Ye Chen said calmly and without hesitation.
“Well… Mr. Ye, if we encounter someone at sea who needs rescue, we should help them if we can. It’s the duty of everyone who makes a living at sea,” Captain Sun said after a moment’s hesitation.
Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "I've made myself very clear: return to base, do not slow down."
Captain Sun hesitated for a moment, a feeling of dissatisfaction rising in his heart towards Ye Chen: "Rich people are indeed all cold-blooded and selfish."
However, he had no choice but to continue the return journey as Ye Chen requested, since Ye Chen was the big spender.
As for the injured people on the fishing boat, we can only wish them good luck. Fortunately, we are not far from the main channel, and they will receive rescue from other ships.
On the fishing boat in the distance, Wolf King and the others saw that the Youlong showed no signs of slowing down, and their faces were grim.
If the distance were to be reduced to less than 100 meters, the cruise ship would enter their effective firing range.
Seeing the distance gradually widening, the Wolf King suddenly waved his hand and shouted sharply, "It's too late, get the RPGs ready!"
The owl standing nearby estimated the distance between the two ships and said with some difficulty, "The distance is now more than 500 meters, which is beyond the effective range of the RPG. I'm afraid it won't be effective."
"Do you see that ship slowing down? If we wait any longer, we won't even see a shadow of it."
Wolf King's eyes widened, and before the others could speak, he said, "Fire all the RPG rockets. If even one hits, it will disable this yacht. You will operate it yourselves."
"Yes, boss."
The other team members didn't hesitate either. They all picked up their RPGs, went to the edge of the fishing boat's deck, and opened fire. Several rockets cut through the air and flew towards the yacht with a whoosh.
On the Youlong.
Captain Sun directed the yacht's navigation, his gaze occasionally drifting back, still lamenting his inability to rescue the fishermen.
Suddenly, several streaks of fire rose from the fishing boat. Captain Sun was horrified—they were rockets!
He instinctively shouted, "Quick, full left, full speed!"
The Youlong hull trembled slightly, and the stern propellers were running at full power, propelling the yacht quickly toward the left front.
"boom..."
An explosion rang out, and flames and smoke filled the air. A rocket exploded on the sea about ten meters away to the right rear of the Youlong, splashing water onto the yacht's deck.
Immediately afterwards, several other rockets exploded, but they were all far from the yacht and caused no damage.
"Turn back and go full speed ahead," Captain Sun continued, his eyes fixed on the fishing boats behind them.
"Mr. Ye, for your safety, please return to your cabin and come out again after the crisis has passed."
Ye Chen nodded readily and turned back to the cabin.
Several minutes later, the Youlong had traveled at full speed for several hundred meters, leaving the fishing boats far behind.
Watching the fishing boat gradually disappear into the distance, Captain Sun finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and ordered again: "All personnel on alert, full speed ahead. We must return to a safe place as quickly as possible."
Still shaken, the crew knew the situation was urgent, so they all focused their attention and did their best to operate the yacht.
The Youlong sped across the sea, leaving trails of waves in its wake. Captain Sun nervously scanned the surface, ready to spot the fishing boat at any moment.
Ten minutes later, after confirming that they had completely shaken off the fishing boat, Captain Sun ordered the speed to be reduced, the alert lifted, and the boat to maintain a normal high speed towards Haizhou.
The crew breathed a sigh of relief, their tense expressions relaxing as they knew the danger had passed.
Captain Sun, still shaken, went to the cabin and bowed deeply to Ye Chen, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Ye. If you hadn't decisively ordered me not to rescue that fishing boat, we might have already fallen into the hands of those pirates."
Then, he asked with some curiosity, "How did you discover that there was something wrong with that fishing boat?"
Ye Chen put down his teacup and smiled mysteriously, saying, "Intuition."
Captain Sun was taken aback, not expecting this answer. He assumed Ye Chen was unwilling to reveal his secret and could only smile wryly, "In any case, thanks to Mr. Ye's intuition, we were able to save our lives."
He paused, then continued, "I've never heard of pirates appearing in this area. I don't know where these people came from. I need to report this to the Haizhou Special Police. Mr. Ye, is there anything else you need?"
“I don’t think it’s just pirates. This fishing boat is after the Youlong. Captain Sun, don’t report this yet. I’ll handle this,” Ye Chen said.
When the Nightmare Squad finally launched the rocket, they revealed themselves. Although they had disguised themselves and not shown their faces when they attacked Meng Yunxuan, their figures were exposed.
Today, among the people who launched the rockets, their builds closely matched those of the attackers from that night, and given the clear purpose of their actions.
It is almost certain that the US intelligence services were behind this attack.
The fact that the other party knows so much about his itinerary suggests that they have intelligence agents in Haizhou.
He stopped Captain Sun from reporting it to his superiors, also to avoid alerting the enemy.
"Yes, Mr. Ye. We will absolutely not let the people in Haizhou know about this before the Youlong docks."
When Captain Sun heard Ye Chen say this, he realized that the inside story of this matter was probably not so simple.
He went to the captain's cabin, took out a satellite phone, and handed it to Ye Chen, saying, "Mr. Ye, this is a satellite phone at sea. You can use it to contact Haizhou."
After saying that, he turned and left the cabin, returned to the wheelhouse, and continued to direct the yacht forward.
Ye Chen picked up the satellite phone and dialed a special number.
He is the chief engineer of the nuclear fusion project team. When he left the base last time, Tang Feng gave him a special number that he could use to contact the internal affairs department directly. He could use this number to seek help whenever needed.
The call was quickly connected. After verifying his identity, Ye Chen briefly described the attack and shared his guesses.
This kind of task of catching internal spies should naturally be handed over to more professional people. I believe we will have results soon!
