Chapter 477 No Bodyguards, Only Mascots
Xiao Peng came to the cockpit and looked at Chen Cheng and asked, "Chen Cheng, what's the matter with calling me here?"
"Boss!" Chen Cheng explained after seeing Xiao Peng, "The VHF communication received a distress signal. But the AIS doesn't have any signal from the distressed ship! And the distress signal is an electronic signal automatically played by the ship's black box, not a manual call for help!"
Xiao Peng said, "They are poaching fishing boats and they definitely can't use AIS. I should have bought a helicopter a long time ago! It's really inconvenient now! Walter, you are so free. Are you walking the dog? Can't you just find a place to tie up Mr. Hoffman?"
Walter and Khedira had already restrained Hoffman, tying him up like a dumpling. They would lead him wherever they went. I don't know what kind of evil they were doing.
Walter said viciously, "A man like this is a disgrace to the Germans! I wonder if the people on Norderney will eat him alive when they find out what he said!"
Sine-Sara coughed twice and whispered a warning: "Xiao, watch your words. You will cause trouble if you say that!"
"Causing a dispute?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened. "He ran onto my boat, threatened me, and even drew his weapon to kill me. I wasn't throwing him overboard, which was a sign of mercy! Khedira, take him aside!"
After hearing this, Khedira whispered to Walter: "Boss, where are we taking him? Can I tie him to the mast?"
Walter curled his lips at Sine-Sala and the others: "How can you do this with so many outsiders here? Take him to the engine room to experience the feeling of taking a sauna. Oh, and don't give him headphones, let him experience the baptism of noise again."
Khedira's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he gave Walter a thumbs-up. Hoffman whimpered and struggled, but his mouth was tightly blocked. Khedira dragged him out!
Pointing a knife at the boss? Do you expect anyone on this ship to treat you well?
"Chen Cheng, can you track the signal?" Xiao Peng asked.
Chen Cheng said: "I have asked Duan Bo to track him down."
Speak of the devil, the devil appears. Just as Chen Cheng finished speaking, Duan Bo's voice came over the intercom: "Captain, the signal is coming from the northwest, but the specific direction is unknown. His ship's black box is a bit out of date."
Chen Cheng looked at Xiao Peng, and Xiao Peng said, "Head northwest." After he said that, he picked up a telescope on the table and was about to walk out.
"What are you going to do?" Fabian asked.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I'm going to do something that the sailors used to do!"
Pascal immediately grabbed Xiao Peng and said, "No! You can't go!"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I'm fine, I won't joke with my life."
Walter said: “Boss, I’ll go with you!”
Xiao Peng shook his head directly: "The weather is too bad now. I can only take care of myself and cannot protect your safety."
Walter's face was full of black lines: "Boss, who is whose bodyguard between us?"
Sine-Sara on the side was confused. She motioned the cameraman beside her to film her, and then she asked Xiao Peng, "Mr. Xiao, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Peng pointed overhead and said, "I'll go to the satellite station on the roof of the ship. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. I'll go over there and see if I can spot those two fishing boats!"
For centuries, lookouts have been a crucial part of shipboard operations. Despite the advent of radar during World War I, they remained crucial until World War II. At that time, spotting enemy ships during combat was primarily done with the naked eye, even submarines, where a group of people would surface with binoculars to search for targets.
"You go up in such weather? Isn't it too dangerous?" Sine-Sara exclaimed.
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Those who make a living on the sea are all desperate criminals."
Sine Sala asked, puzzled, "How could a wealthy man like you put yourself in such a dangerous situation? We just saw how the Germans on Norderney treated you. Moreover, the shipwrecked ship belonged to Hoffman, who had always troubled you, and his son was on board. Yet you still wanted to save them and put yourself in such danger. Can I know why?"
Xiao Peng did not directly answer Sine-Sala's words.
He remembered a sentence from Serbian President Vucic, which is: European unity does not exist.
Look at what Sine-Sala said. It sounds harmless, but it turns out to be a case of regional slurs. Her words framed the entire German population of Norderney! If this statement were to be spread online, it might directly trigger a war of words between Germany and France.
He didn't want to get involved in such a mess. He shook his head and said, "Xinnai, anyone who generalizes based on a single point is just a hooligan. Hoffman is indeed looking for trouble with me, but the law and the public will punish him! We Chinese respect the people of every place and abide by the laws of every place. I believe that Norderney Island is not full of skinheads as Hoffman said. As for why we need to save people? It's simple. There are maritime rules. When you see trouble, you have to lend a hand. As for danger? I'm a man. Because difficulties are fun, right?"
"Xiao, here's your raincoat!" Pascal said.
Xiao Peng shook his head. "No need. Wearing it in this awful weather is useless! Chen Cheng, give me the waterproof walkie-talkie! Wait for my news anytime!"
"Okay, boss! Be careful!" said Chen Cheng.
Xiao Peng opened the cockpit door, and a strong wind and rain blew in through the door. Xiao Peng walked out into the wind and rain! Sine-Sala and the cameraman gritted their teeth and went out to film Xiao Peng's difficult climb up the communication tower.
"Damn it!" Sine-Sala yelled into the camera. "In this terrible weather, it's hard for me to even leave the cabin, and yet Mr. Xiao risked his own life to climb the communications tower to save someone. And the person he saved was a child of someone who had a grudge against him. What kind of spirit is that? This is a true warrior! I wonder if those nationalist Germans feel ashamed seeing this? Can you do this? No, the wind and rain are too strong. I need to go back now!"
Back in the cockpit, she saw Fabian and the others looking relaxed. Xine asked, puzzled, "What's going on? Aren't you worried about Mr. Xiao?"
Fabian said, "We are worried, but more often than not, we trust him! We have no doubt that Xiao can do what he says he can do."
Pascal said disdainfully: "Come on, isn't it because we can't do anything? Compared to him, we are all weaklings!"
Fabian spread his hands: "Only a fool would compete with him! That guy is a pervert. Didn't you see that Walter doesn't say anything now? Now Walter is the most helpless!"
Everyone turned to look at Walter and nodded together.
Is this a bodyguard? This is clearly a mascot!
Just when a few people were about to continue teasing Walter, Xiao Peng's voice came from the intercom: "Everyone get ready! I have discovered something!"
