"Brother Ye, let's hurry up and get the boat going!"
"Yes, we need to leave this dangerous place first. We can consider what to do next once we're safe."
Feng Ye looked up at the situation on the island. "Let's leave before the people on the island find out."
"I'll go and retrieve the anchor."
Ah-Can glanced at it subconsciously, knowing that time was of the essence, and hurriedly ran to the bow of the boat.
The two boats were not secured to each other, and in just a short time, they had separated, with a distance of several meters between them.
He needs to get the ship moving and alongside the Rising Sun before he can pass.
Feng Ye then quickly went to the driver's seat.
This ship is much more advanced in its navigation system than the Rising Sun; it uses a "steering wheel" for navigation.
Moreover, the engine doesn't require a strenuous crank; you can start it simply by turning the key.
Fortunately, the key was already in the keyhole, so there was no need to bother with interrogation.
Through the cockpit window, Feng Ye noticed that A-Can had reached the bow of the ship. He quickly turned the key and started the engine.
With a low rumble, the ship began to tremble slightly.
Feng Ye skillfully turned the rudder and adjusted the direction, allowing the boat to slowly move forward so that A-Can could retrieve the anchor.
When weighing anchor, the vessel needs to move forward while slowly retracting the anchor chain, and then straighten the anchor chain when it is close to the anchor.
At this point, the anchor bolt will be lifted by the tension of the anchor chain, and the anchor will use the anchor crown as an axis to lift the anchor claws out of the seabed using the principle of leverage.
The ship then continues to retrieve the anchor chain until the anchor is pulled out of the water.
As Ah-Can gestured that the anchor chain had detached from the seabed, Feng Ye adjusted his course again and moved closer to the Rising Sun, which was drifting with the current.
After anchoring, Ah-Can stood nervously at the bow of the boat, cranking the handle and glancing at the island every now and then.
When the two ships were close enough, he took a deep breath and leaped, successfully landing back on the deck of the Rising Sun.
Immediately, they started the diesel engine.
The two ships quickly moved away from each other, accelerating towards the center of the sea.
The two people in the driver's seat kept turning around to look at the small island behind them.
Only when they found that there was no movement or anyone on the island did the two of them finally relax.
However, they still dared not relax or stop, and continued to speed towards even further distances.
Run as far as possible!
The two ships each left a long ripple on the sea, their speed increasing until they gradually left the island behind.
Feng Ye slowed down and stopped the boat only after the small island disappeared from sight.
Only then did he realize that his palms were wet with sweat, and there was also a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Damn, that was really exciting."
As he spoke, he wiped his forehead with his sleeve.
Turning his head, he saw that Ah-chan had also slowed down the boat and was approaching. So he went out of the wheelhouse and waited on the deck.
As the Rising Sun approached, he used a hook to pull up the mooring line at the bow of the Rising Sun and tied it to his own ship, thus securing the two ships together.
"Brother Ye, what do we do next? What should we do with that kid?"
Ah-Can asked, his tone tinged with worry.
Feng Ye frowned and fell silent.
This is indeed a tricky problem.
The problem is that the person had already seen their faces, and the Rising Sun.
If we let them go, the consequences will be severe.
No one would swallow such a humiliation if their boat was stolen.
They are very likely to seek revenge at sea.
Even though there was a gun on the Rising Sun, it was to no avail.
He didn't believe there weren't guns on Longtail Island, and that there were likely quite a few.
Don't forget what those people do; they're utterly wicked.
This time, they got a lucky break; the group didn't bring any guns.
But since the intention is revenge, they will definitely bring a gun.
Of course, there is another possibility, which is to hold him and Ah-chan accountable through official channels.
It should be understood that, strictly speaking, their actions constituted robbery, a crime.
Moreover, the boat they robbed was worth two or three hundred thousand yuan, a particularly large sum, and their actions were extremely heinous—enough to make them pay dearly.
If they don't release them, then the only option is to kill them and throw them into the sea.
Although this would be done without anyone noticing, to be honest, Feng Ye couldn't bring himself to do it.
After all, it's a human life; he wasn't so cruel as to take someone's life at will.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Ah-Can raised her hand and made a throat-slitting gesture. "Why don't we just do it?"
"Don't rush."
Feng Ye shook his head. "Let me think about it."
"What's there to think about? Either release them or kill them. Is there a third way to handle this?"
Ah-chan was getting a little impatient.
"The third one?"
Feng Ye's heart skipped a beat. "Perhaps there really is a third way?"
"ah?"
Ah-Can's eyes widened in surprise. "What brilliant idea do you have?" he asked.
"It's not certain yet; we need to figure out their purpose for going to the island before we can know if it's feasible."
"You mean hand them over to the police and let them arrest them?"
Ah Can instantly understood Feng Ye and asked in return.
"right."
Feng Ye nodded. "If these people are indeed engaged in illegal activities on the island, handing them over to the police is the best course of action."
"In this way, our actions are not theft or robbery, but rather a crackdown on illegal and criminal activities."
"But the premise is that we must first confirm their illegal activities, and not just rely on speculation."
