"You bastards, I'll beat you to death..."
The old man cursed as he tried to climb onto the boat.
Feng Ye was startled.
This old man seems to have a story to tell.
He quickly stepped forward to support the old man, urging him, "Sir, please don't get agitated, please don't get agitated..."
"These damned bandits not only robbed my family's boat, but also killed my son."
Today, I've finally run into them. I'm going to kill them to avenge my son..."
The old man's eyes widened in anger as he pointed at the people tied up on the boat, his whole body trembling, his eyes burning with hatred.
Feng Ye then realized what was happening.
It turns out this old man's son was killed by pirates, and he harbors deep resentment.
He quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, old man, they won't get away."
The police will be here soon and will definitely bring them to justice.
Please don't get agitated, take care of your health.
"Yes, sir, please don't get agitated. It wouldn't be worth it if you hurt yourself."
"Don't worry, these people have committed many evils, and the police will not let them get away with it."
"Sir, if you kill them, won't you get into trouble too? There's no need..."
After repeated persuasion from Feng Ye and others around him, the old man calmed down a bit, but he still stared at the pirates on the ship with eyes blazing with anger.
If looks could kill, those people tied up on the boat would have been torn to pieces by the old man already.
Seeing that the old man's emotions had stabilized a bit, Feng Ye said again, "Everyone, please make way, I need to make a phone call..."
"You want to make a phone call? Go to my shop and make the call."
A middle-aged man pushed his way out of the crowd and said enthusiastically.
"Thank you for your help."
Feng Ye didn't stand on ceremony. After thanking him, he followed the middle-aged man and squeezed out of the crowd.
Upon arriving at the store, Feng Ye picked up the store's landline and skillfully dialed a number.
The call wasn't made to the county public security bureau, but to Qin Aijun.
His goal was to find Hao Aiguo.
For such a big case, they must have pulled strings with someone they knew, and done someone a favor.
As the head of a county, Hao Aiguo himself certainly doesn't need such credit, but his subordinates definitely do.
Unfortunately, Feng Ye didn't have Hao Aiguo's contact number, so he had to take a roundabout approach and contact him through Qin Aijun.
The phone was answered after two rings.
Hello, who is this?
"President Qin, it's me, Xiao Feng."
"Oh, Xiao Feng, what brings you to me at this hour? Did you manage to get your hands on something good again?"
Qin Aijun's voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying a hint of hope.
"Good things aren't so easy to come by. There's something I need to trouble you with. I'd like you to contact County Chief Hao."
Feng Ye gave a wry smile and then briefly recounted what had happened.
Qin Aijun instantly understood his intention: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll call County Chief Hao right away."
He'll arrange for someone to pick you up at the dock; you just need to wait there.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Qin."
"No need for thanks, you might as well get me some better stuff."
"I can't guarantee that, but as long as I get my hands on it, I'll definitely send it to you."
"Then I'll wait for your good news. Alright, that's all for now, I'll call County Chief Hao right now."
After hanging up the phone, Feng Ye took out his money to pay the phone bill.
However, the middle-aged man refused to accept it, saying repeatedly, "Forget it, it's just a few phone calls, it's nothing."
You've rid us of a great menace today. Those pirates, who committed countless atrocities, should have been arrested long ago.
Your actions are truly gratifying! How could I possibly charge you for the phone call...?
Seeing the middle-aged man's enthusiasm, Feng Ye could no longer insist and could only thank him repeatedly.
When he returned to the ship, he saw that the deck was littered with rotten fish and shrimp, pebbles and clods of dirt.
Those people, in particular, were covered in trash, looking disheveled, and many had bloodied heads.
Without a doubt, it was thrown by the angry crowd on the shore.
Pirates are universally hated and hated; everyone wants to kill them.
Throwing some things is nothing; not rushing in and killing them is already considered restraint.
Most of the people on this dock are fishermen and their families, and their biggest fear is encountering pirates when they go out to sea.
The existence of pirates was like a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment, causing them to lose their possessions at best, and their lives at sea at worst.
Therefore, they hated pirates to the core.
Now that I have the chance to vent my anger, I will naturally show no mercy.
Feng Ye ignored the pirates' disheveled appearance, and no one arranged for them to be cleaned up.
It's not too late to clean the deck after the police arrive and take the people away.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance.
Several police cars sped over and stopped at the dock, where a group of uniformed police officers got out.
To Feng Ye's surprise, he saw an acquaintance among them.
Song Jianguo, who went fishing at sea with me before the Dragon Boat Festival last year.
Moreover, they were always at the very front.
Clearly, he held the highest position among this group of police officers.
Feng Ye had already made some guesses about Song Jianguo's identity last year.
Especially after learning that Hao Aiguo was the county magistrate, they were even more certain that his status was not low.
However, he didn't think about the police.
Now it seems that even if Song Jianguo isn't the director, he's at least a deputy director or some other leadership position.
