...
The communications officer on the foreign warship reported: "Target has fallen into the water, should we continue the attack?"
"Keep firing!" came the captain's voice, cold and devoid of any emotion.
"Boom! Boom!!"
Two more shells exploded near Rong Zhaonan, creating towering waves.
Rong Zhaonan's body was thrown into the air by the enormous impact, tumbling through the air before crashing heavily into the cold seawater.
He felt as if his body was being torn apart; the excruciating pain almost made him lose consciousness. But he still held onto Cha Shenlou tightly, not letting him go.
Seawater rushed into his mouth and nose, and he felt himself being swallowed by boundless darkness, yet he still struggled to maintain his balance.
He could picture Ning Yuan sitting by a stream in the countryside, fishing, turning her head to wave and smile at him.
In the sunlight, she smiled, her eyes crinkling to reveal her pearly white teeth, her dimples seemingly filled with honey, sweet enough to intoxicate—"Rong Zhaonan!"
Her voice was so distant, yet so clear, as if it were ringing right next to my ear.
Rong Zhaonan tried desperately to reach out and grasp that illusory light, but the icy seawater mercilessly swept him into deeper darkness...
"Fuck them—fuck them! These bastards, I'll fight them to the death! I'll run over those animals!"
Chen Chen's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he desperately tried to ram the helicopter into the warship in international waters, but was pulled back by Lao Xu beside him.
"Stop! We can't let our captain down. We must take back what he brought and call the search and rescue team. Only then will our captain have a chance of survival!"
Old Xu roared, his eyes red.
Shells kept exploding on the sea surface, and the resulting water columns were enough to capsize helicopters.
The moment the captain fell into the sea, the foreign warship lowered its gun barrels instead of aiming at the helicopter. This was the captain risking his life to give them their last chance to escape.
Judging from the tactics employed by the foreign warships just now, it's clear to anyone with eyes that they were trying to force all of them to crash!
Chen Chen gripped the control stick tightly, tears blurring his vision, and pulled the helicopter up in one swift motion: "I'll fucking kill these bastards and their ancestors for eighteen generations!"
From the moment they joined the army, they knew this day would come!
To die on the battlefield!
But he never imagined that person was their youngest and most powerful captain... Wasn't he a powerful being? He'll be alright!!!
"Captain... Captain will be alright!!!"
...
The pheasant in the distance witnessed this scene and was stunned.
This was completely beyond the comprehension of a low-level gang leader.
Although he disliked those aloof police officers, the courage and boldness of that officer deeply impressed him.
"Boss, what do we do now?" one of the underlings asked cautiously.
A resolute glint flashed in the pheasant's eyes. He slammed his hand on the gunwale and roared, "Start the boat! Go rescue them!"
"Boss! It's too dangerous! We'll be riddled with bullets!" one of the henchmen exclaimed.
"Shut up! Those foreigners, those damn bastards—thinking they can take advantage of the police who cannon fire at us? We, the Hong Kong government, are in a concession, but we are Chinese!" Chicken roared—
"If you're a man, you fucking steer the boat for me!"
The underlings were intimidated by Chicken's imposing manner and dared not argue further. They immediately started the speedboat and headed towards the direction where Rong Zhaonan had fallen into the sea...
The sea was turbulent, but fortunately... after the warship's firepower covered the entire sea surface, it smugly and slowly left.
A group of 14K henchmen breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the warship turn.
"Everyone, get the hell on your feet! Keep a close eye on the sea! We need to find them alive or dead!"
The pheasant secretly rejoiced, then roared hoarsely, his voice torn apart by the sea breeze.
...
"Smack!"
A sharp crack rang out, and shards of glass flew everywhere, standing out starkly in the luxurious private room of the Treasure Pavilion.
Ning Yuan suddenly stood up, her face pale, her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly, and she could hardly breathe.
She stared intently at the half-eaten teacup in her hand, her fingertips gleaming an unnatural white. The sudden pang of anxiety she had just felt had left her extremely uneasy.
"Xiao Ning, what's wrong?" Ah Heng, who was sitting opposite, asked worriedly.
She rarely saw Ning Yuan so out of control.
Ning Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.
The message from his fourth uncle's men kept replaying in his mind—Rong Zhaonan had led his men to track Shen Lou to the high seas.
high seas……
She suddenly looked up at the shimmering sea outside the window. It seemed calm, but it concealed endless dangers.
She remembered reading in the newspaper a few days ago that the early 1980s was a crucial period for countries to discuss the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
As far as I can remember, this convention did not officially come into effect until the 1990s.
When it took effect, news outlets and newspapers talked about it for a whole week, celebrating with great fanfare that we finally had our own exclusive economic zone.
Therefore, the Hong Kong government is not currently in the so-called 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone of China!
In other words, in the 1980s, the Hong Kong government's coastline was only 30 nautical miles from the high seas. In the past, all sorts of things happened on the high seas, including drug and gambling transactions!
Foreign warships can freely travel within 30 nautical miles of the coastline!
Ning Yuan could almost imagine what kind of thrilling events were unfolding on that seemingly calm sea at this very moment.
At such a short distance, she seemed to have a hallucination, as if she could hear through the night sea breeze...hear the faint sound of an explosion!
It's not that they haven't fought together, nor that he hasn't disappeared while carrying out missions.
But for some reason, this time her heart was pounding with anxiety.
Ning Yuan could no longer remain calm. She suddenly stood up, grabbed her coat, and rushed out the door.
"Xiao Ning, where are you going?" Aheng was startled by her sudden action and hurriedly asked.
"I'm going to find him!" Ning Yuan said without turning her head, and hurriedly disappeared into the night.
Ah Heng was shocked and rushed out after her, shouting, "Xiao Ning! Wait! What kind of behavior is this, running over like that! Big Brother will definitely worry if he finds out!"
The middle-aged man who spoke was the manager of Treasure Shop. He saw that both of them had run away.
He quickly chased after them, angrily yelling at his men as he ran, "What are you bastards standing there for! Get on my heels!!"
My fourth uncle instructed me to ensure this girl's safety tonight!
At the dock outside Treasure Square, the gunfire gradually subsided, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Under the cover of night, the sea shimmered, as if draped in a thin black veil, making it difficult to see clearly.
Ah Heng held Ning Yuan tightly, sweating profusely with anxiety. "Xiao Ning, listen to me, don't go over there! Look at the situation now, stray bullets don't have eyes! My brother will be fine, who is he? Even the King of Hell would avoid him!"
Ning Yuan pursed her lips, but still stopped in her tracks, her gaze fixed on the distant sea, as if trying to see something through the black veil.
The feeling of palpitation she had just experienced still lingered, like a thin thread wrapped around her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
This feeling was just like when she was kidnapped by the eldest son of the Xiang family in the capital and forced to jump off a bridge... It was unsettling.
Just then, the roar of a propeller came from afar, and a helicopter roared in from the night sky.
