Night. Beach.
On a small beach with lights hanging on it.
Dong Xuebing changed into his clothes and stood on the yacht. Behind him, Xie Hao, Xie Jing, and Sun Kai boarded the yacht, while Xie Huilan, Wu Er, and the rest waited below.
"Xiao Dong, are you all really going?" Wu Er asked.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Uncle Wu, we are fine. Don't worry."
Wu Er sighed. "Alright. I will not say anything else. Be careful on the way back."
"Ok." Dong Xuebing thanked him. "Thank you for the yacht."
"The yacht is a small matter." Wu Er waved his hand. "It's fine as long as you all can return safely."
Youyou also waved goodbye to them. "Brother Dong, Brother Hao, come back early."
Xie Hao laughed. "I know. Just wait for us to return." Dong Xuebing turned around and patted Xie Hao's shoulder.
"Xiao Hao, you will pilot the boat and call your father to ask for the coordinates of the fishing boat. If your father refuses to tell you, just tell him Huilan asked you to ask. Xiao Sun, you will help Xiao Hao pilot the boat later. I am worried about him. Xiao Jing, once you get the coordinates, you will use the equipment to find the coordinates. This boat is operated by a computer, and if you don't know how to pilot it, you can use the sea map to find a direction. The sea is so dark, and we must not get lost."
"Yes, Brother-in-law."
"Yes, Brother-in-law."
The few of them got to work, and the yacht left the beach after a while.
Today, the sea is calm, and the weather is good. Seagulls can be heard overhead.
The yacht is moving at high speed, and they can no longer see the beach behind them. Only a few spots of light can be seen.
In the cabin.
The cabin is not big, and it's crowded with four people.
"Brother-in-law." Xie Hao waved to Dong Xuebing. "We have reached the coordinates."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Ok. Let Xiao Jing check the coordinates first, and I will listen to the radio."
At this moment, Sun Kai whispered to Xie Jing worriedly, "Jing Jing, why are you following us? If something happens to you, I …"
Xie Jing laughed. "My brother-in-law is here. What can happen?"
Sun Kai said gloomily, "But your brother-in-law can't guarantee it either."
Xie Jing made a shushing gesture. "Lower your voice. Don't let him hear you. Let me tell you. My brother-in-law is an all-rounded firefighter after he entered the government. There's no fire he can't save, and there's no obstacle he can't overcome. Didn't you keep asking about my brother-in-law? Alright, you've seen it with your own eyes today. With him around, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for anything to happen to us. You can rest assured. " After a pause, Xie Jing whispered: "Hehe, if my brother-in-law doesn't have this bit of ability, with my big sister's extraordinary foresight, how can she like my brother-in-law?"
Hearing this, Sun Kai was still skeptical.
"What are you all whispering about?" Dong Xuebing, who was listening to the radio, looked over.
"Err … nothing." Xie Jing said. "Brother-in-law, we have set the course. Is there any news from the radio? How is it? "
"We are still searching." Dong Xuebing continued to listen.
The broadcast sounded, but the situation was still the same. The wrecked fishing boat was still not rescued. Two Country A warships were maintaining a tight blockade, and the other rescue boats could only watch helplessly from the edge of the D sea. There was even a lifeboat disembarking from Country A's warship. Several Country A's police officers seemed to be trying to get close to the wrecked fishing boat to grab the Chinese citizens trapped inside. However, due to the strong winds and waves, the boat was overturned the moment it touched the boat, so the warships did not act rashly.
"Is Country A really going to arrest them?" Sun Kai asked.
Xie Hao replied. "Even if they arrest them, they won't dare to not release them."
"It's different this time." Sun Kai was still very concerned about current affairs. "Previously, Country A has already declared that Sea D is their territorial waters. If any Chinese ships enter it again, they will sue and sentence us for trespassing. They won't let us off like before."
"But that is our territory!"
"If the Chinese citizens are arrested, they can do whatever they want to us. Towards our China, they have never intended to reason with us. When the time comes for them to be captured, it will be too late to say anything! "
Xie Hao shouted angrily. "We must not let them arrest them!"
Sun Kai asked anxiously. "We have been sailing for half a day. How come we still haven't seen anyone?"
"This is the waterway, and it's still too early." Xie Jing replied. "But we are getting closer. We should be able to make it in time."
Dong Xuebing's face changed. "I will rest for a while. Wake me up when we are almost there." He needs to rest.
One hour …
Two hours …
Dong Xuebing doesn't know how long had passed.
"Brother-in-law, wake up!" Xie Jing's voice rang in Dong Xuebing's ears.
Dong Xuebing opened his eyes and sat up. "Have we arrived?"
Xie Jing points to the front. "From the coordinates, we are not far away. The D sea is in front!"
It's too late, and Xie Hao can't take it anymore. Sun Kai is driving the boat, and he is holding onto the white steering wheel.
Dong Xuebing stood up. "Thank you all for your hard work."
Dong Xuebing took out a pair of binoculars and walked out of the cabin onto the deck. He raised the binoculars and looked around.
Hurry up!
I hope we can make it in time! You must hold on!
Dong Xuebing knew he must not let those Country A's warships capture their people. If not, they will be in a disadvantageous position in the territorial war, and the safety of those captured Chinese citizens will be in danger. Who knows what those Country A's will do!
Where are they?
Where are they?!
Suddenly, a light pierced Dong Xuebing's eyes, and he looked into the distance. "It's towards the northeast! Look! "
Xie Hao's sleepiness disappeared. "Where? Where?"
Xie Jing shouted. "I see it! There is light! "
Sun Kai shouted. "There is no land here! It must be a boat! "
"We are finally there! Let me drive! "Xie Hao pushed Sun Kai aside and grabbed the steering wheel excitedly. He dashed towards the direction of the yacht.
1,000 meters …
500 meters …
300 meters …
As they got closer, Dong Xuebing and the rest saw a few boats anchored there. They should be from T Bay and China. There are about four to five boats, and most of them are fishing boats. The fishermen who were fishing nearby had heard the news and rushed over to rescue their people. As for the T Bay Government's rescue boats, they had not arrived yet. They heard from the radio that they had encountered strong waves.
The four to five fishing boats were filled with people, and the waves were very strong. Some of the waves hit the boat's bow and splashed onto the people. But everyone ignored them and were discussing something. There was a damaged rescue boat beside them. It should be the one that was damaged by the warships. Dong Xuebing's eyes lit up when he looked further ahead. In front of those rescue boats, there were two Country A's warships, and Country A's police officers were standing on the deck, looking down at them. Behind the warships, there was a Chinese fishing boat. The fishing boat was flooded, and its bow and body were badly damaged. The bow was crooked, and a few crew members were using tools to scoop the water out of the boat. The damaged boat looked very small in the waves!
In this kind of situation, it seemed like a huge wave could capsize the ship. Even if there were no waves and they relied on manpower to drain the water, the ship would not be able to last much longer!
The situation was extremely dangerous!
Dong Xuebing and the rest did not expect this to happen!
But the two Country A's warships did not rescue them. Instead, they were holding back the rescue team, preventing them from getting closer. Dong Xuebing was furious when he saw this!
Following that, the warship's speaker shouted a string of words.
Dong Xuebing asked with a black face. "Xiao Sun, what did they say?"
Sun Kai listened and translated. "They are still saying the same things. They are saying that the D Sea is in front, and it is Country A's territorial waters. They are threatening us to take measures against them if we get closer!"
The people on the Country A's warships were calm and even looked relaxed.
But looking at the dying fishing boat behind them that was about to sink, none of the rescue team members from the Chinese side could remain calm!
"Bullshit!" One of the fishing boats shouted through the speaker. "This is our territorial waters! Get out of here! "
Immediately, many people on the rescue boat agreed. "That's right! Get out! This is not the place for you all to fish! "
"You all came to our country's territorial waters to fish and even crashed into our boat! Bastards! Can you all be reasonable?! "
"Let us go! Release our men! "
"You all are too much! What else do you all want?! "
The Country A's warships ignored them and continued to shout warnings. They said the people on the fishing boat had trespassed into Country A's territorial waters, and they will bring them back to Country A for trial. If anyone else dares to enter Country D's territorial waters, they will also end up like these people.
Many people on the rescue boat were so angry that their lungs were about to explode!
"Arrest them? What right do you all have to arrest them?! "
"Trial?! You all are the ones who are fishing illegally! "
The Country A's warships had destroyed their boats. Everyone could tell the Country A's had gone crazy to snatch Country D's territorial waters!
Even if the historical records clearly stated that this was China's territorial waters, this bunch of Americans had no intention of listening to them. They tried to twist black into white, insisting that this was their territorial waters. Now that they had illegally occupied Sea D, what about in the future? Who knows if they will say T Bay is theirs next?! They will say China is also their territory?! Everyone is disgusted by this!
The yacht finally arrived.
Dong Xuebing looked in front of him and shouted. "Xiao Hao! Xiao Sun! Rush over! "
