The Rising Sun was very fast, and under Feng Xuan's piloting, it quickly widened the distance between itself and the large ship, leaving it far behind.
However, none of the three dared to be careless, and they kept their eyes fixed on the back, observing the movements of the large ship.
Fortunately, the large ship gave up after chasing for a few minutes and changed course.
Although the Rising Sun was not large, it was mechanically powered, and it would not be easy for a large ship to catch up with it.
Moreover, it was towing a boat behind it, which severely affected its speed.
Seeing that the large ship did not continue to pursue them, the three people on the Rising Sun breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Xuan also reduced his speed, maintaining the most economical cruising speed while navigating the nearby sea.
However, they remained vigilant, and if the large ship showed any signs of changing course to pursue them, Feng Xuan would not hesitate to accelerate away.
"Brother Xuan, how did you know that big ship belonged to Longtail Island?"
Ah-chan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Feng Ye looked at Feng Xuan, he was also quite curious about this.
They knew that the people and boats of Longtail Island were infamous, but only from what the villagers had told them.
“When I was helping out at my father-in-law’s house before, this boat chased me once, and I almost couldn’t escape.”
Feng Xuan lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said in a calm tone.
Feng Ye looked at his elder brother with surprise, not expecting him to have such an experience.
Don't be fooled by how casually he spoke, as if he weren't talking about himself; Feng Ye knew that it must have been extremely dangerous.
"Oh, I see." Ah-Can nodded in sudden realization. "No wonder you recognized me at a glance."
Feng Xuan took another drag, exhaled smoke, and gazed at the large ship in the distance: "These guys are no exaggeration to call them pirates. We'll have to be careful when trawling here in the future, lest they target us."
Feng Ye nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. These pirates are all desperate criminals, capable of anything. We must remain vigilant and avoid being outmaneuvered by them."
Ah-Can scratched his head, looking somewhat worried, and said, "What do we do now? Wait for them to leave?"
Feng Ye remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Let's stay here for a while and observe the situation."
“If that big ship leaves, we’ll go back to reeling in the longline; if it doesn’t leave, then it’ll be our turn to leave.”
"Yes, let's observe first and not rush into action."
Feng Xuan also expressed his agreement.
Ah-Can nodded. Although he was young, he knew the importance and urgency of things.
The Rising Sun cruised on the sea, all three of them keeping their eyes fixed on the increasingly distant movement of the large ship.
As time slowly passed, they grew further and further away from the large ship, until it became just a small black dot in their sight.
If nothing unexpected happens, they should disappear from their sight soon.
However, several minutes passed, and the small black dots were still there, not disappearing as they had expected.
The ship seemed to have stopped!
"Why does that boat seem to have stopped?"
Ah-chan asked aloud.
Feng Ye frowned, not understanding for a moment what the boat meant.
He was thinking and didn't reply.
"They definitely stopped." Feng Xuan asked疑惑地, "Why did they stop? Is there something there?"
It's too far away to see anything clearly.
Feng Ye suddenly remembered that their longline fishing was precisely in that direction of the sea.
"Longline fishing! They're taking our longline fishing gear!"
Feng Ye's scream startled Feng Xuan and A Can for a moment, then they realized that it was indeed very likely.
"Brother Xuan, hurry up and drive over there to see if they are really taking back our longline fishing."
Ah-chan's face was full of anger.
"It's probably very close to the truth."
Feng Xuan took a deep breath, adjusted the course, and suddenly increased the throttle.
The Rising Sun sped faster and faster, heading towards the large ship.
The three people on the boat were extremely anxious, hoping that Feng Ye's guess was wrong.
They only managed to collect five baskets of longline fishing; the other five baskets still had fish hooked on them.
That was the result of their hard work.
If those pirates took it, it would be as painful as having someone steal your heart's flesh.
Moreover, if the speculation is true, it can be almost confirmed that not only the fish are being taken away, but also the longline fishing rods.
Although those longline fishing rods weren't worth much money, they were still bought with money and took a lot of time to make.
The key is that it can bring them a considerable income, and it would be very painful for them to have it taken away.
The Rising Sun cut through the waves, getting closer and closer to the large ship, and they finally saw the situation clearly.
Their longline fishing was indeed shut down.
The large ship, perhaps because it had fewer people, was not moved and instead handed over to the five crew members on the fishing boat that was being towed.
The five men were busy pulling longline fishing lines onto the boat, haphazardly tossing them into baskets without any preparation.
The fish caught on the side hooks were untied and casually tossed aside, piling up like a small mountain.
Seeing this, all three were furious, their faces turning ashen with rage.
They never expected that these people would actually dare to do such a thing. How is this any different from robbery? It's utterly lawless!
"These guys are despicable! They actually stole our longline fishing!" Ah-chan cursed angrily.
Feng Xuan was also seething with hatred: "These bastards are utterly despicable! All that hard work we put into setting up the longline..."
