Chapter 59: Chapter 46 South Korean Coast Guard_2

Thus, Yan Fei began to entertain an ingenious idea: he wanted to become a chivalrous fighter above the High Seas. This way, he wouldn’t have to run into any conflicts with his own country, and the idea of sinking enemy or criminal organization ships didn’t pose any moral dilemma to him. After all, there were often unfriendly incidents involving other countries’ ships and Chinese fishermen in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea. If he could suddenly appear in those disputes and offer some help to the oppressed fishermen, not only could he earn Merit Points, but he could also satisfy the still indignant youth in his heart.

The operations at the Food Processing Factory were proceeding methodically under Lu Pingping’s management, and everything was in perfect order. Yan Fei didn’t have anything to worry about; he just needed to produce the Slimming liquid on time and secretly add it into the biscuit ingredients. Everything was developing in a positive direction.

The Auxiliary Brain was also busy analyzing and deducing new biotechnologies, but unfortunately, there had been no results. With the huge success of the Weight Loss Cookies, Yan Fei was in no rush; he believed that with time, new breakthroughs would come.

A few days later, Yan Fei was browsing information in his office when an internet video live-stream suddenly caught his attention.

It was a live-stream from an internet live-streamer on “Dou Mao” who was broadcasting live from the ocean. This live-streamer had gone fishing with his father’s fleet and was live-streaming the fishing process to his viewers. Since few people had the experience of going out to sea for fishing, the live stream of the fishing process was quite popular.

However, that afternoon, while the fishing live-streamer was chatting with netizens live, an unexpected event occurred. In the live-streaming video, several foreign law enforcement ships suddenly appeared.

The ships bore the South Korean Flag, indicating that they belonged to the South Korean government. As soon as these law enforcement boats spotted the Chinese Fishing Boat carrying out fishing operations, they gave chase. While pursuing, they warned the fishing boats in both Chinese and Korean to stop advancing and submit to their inspection.

In the preceding years, because of some overlapping fishing resources on the map between China and South Korea, it was common for Chinese Fishing Boats to be detained by South Korean Law Enforcement Boats while fishing in certain waters, only to be released after paying hefty fines.

Latterly, the state began to take this issue seriously, conducting geographical knowledge training for fishermen heading out to sea and sternly warning the South Korean Law Enforcement. After this, the instances of South Korean Law Enforcement Boats capturing Chinese Fishing Boats grew increasingly infrequent.

This live-streamer’s father’s fleet also strictly adhered to the newly demarcated fishing zones and did not enter South Korean territorial waters, but they still encountered the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat and received a hail from them. Recalling the past egregious conduct of the South Korean Law Enforcement, fear stoked in everyone’s hearts, and they instinctively began to flee. As the fishing boats turned to flee, the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat gave chase even more aggressively.

The internet live-streamer began live broadcasting the entire ordeal of the Chinese Fishing Boat trying to escape. Initially, the Audience watching the live stream weren’t too worried; in fact, they found it somewhat novel, as if watching a play. But as the chase escalated, the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat actually started firing at the Chinese Fishing Boat; bullets almost hit the live-streaming Anchor. It was then that the Audience began to panic, and people started to call the police, and some even began contacting the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Upon learning that a Chinese Fishing Boat was in distress, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately activated an emergency plan and communicated with South Korea, urging them to cease pursuing the Chinese Fishing Boat and ensure the fishermen’s safety. The South Korean side agreed readily, but in the live-streamer’s footage, the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat behind them didn’t stop the chase; instead, the frequency of gunfire increased. Thus, the incident quickly became a hot news story, reaching the top of the news headlines.

Yan Fei learned about the news under such circumstances, and seeing the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat firing at the Chinese crewmembers with such impunity, he was filled with righteous fury. He checked the terrain map and discovered that the incident occurred only 800 kilometers from Shanghai, while his Drone was under the sea about 100 kilometers away from Shanghai, which was only 700 kilometers from the site of the incident.

Therefore, Yan Fei quickly activated the Drone. The Drone began to surface, then it slipped away under the cover of the clouds, ascended vertically, and transformed back into its original shape. Yan Fei pulled up the navigation map, located the troubled waters, and the Drone turned its nose, speeding toward that part of the sea at maximum velocity.

Similarly, to avoid being detected by other forces’ Radar, the Drone still skimmed the sea at an altitude of 5 meters. Of course, if it had continued to travel underwater, the Drone wouldn’t have had to worry about being discovered, but that was 700 kilometers away from the troubled waters, and it would take five hours to travel from the seabed to the location of the incident. By then, it might be too late.

The Drone’s top speed reached 1000 kilometers/hour, so it would take just over forty minutes to reach the area of the incident.

On the other side, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs severely questioned South Korea why their enforcement ships were still chasing and shooting at the Chinese Fishing Boat. South Korea responded that due to communication issues, they were temporarily unable to reach their enforcement vessels, and they hoped China would exercise restraint.

This excuse almost made the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials curse, “Your South Korean Law Enforcement Boat is chasing our fishing boats for no reason, still firing at our fishing boats non-stop, and you want us to exercise restraint? What kind of Ghost logic is this?” Left without choice, the Chinese Military had to quickly mobilize nearby Warships to rush to the site of the incident.

However, even the nearest Chinese Warship would take an hour to reach the troubled waters, and it was uncertain whether they would arrive in time. The live footage showed the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat’s gunfire becoming increasingly frequent, and the Chinese fishermen could be injured at any moment.

Yan Fei observed all of this through the live broadcast, and he clenched his teeth in hatred. The South Korean Maritime Law Enforcement Vessels had infamously captured Chinese Fishing Boats without cause for years, extracting large fines and gaining huge profits. He hadn’t expected them to go even further this time, crossing territorial waters and taking people hostage, practically on the verge of causing fatalities.

More than forty minutes later, Yan Fei’s Drone finally arrived at the scene of the incident. He immediately spotted the Chinese Fishing Boat desperately running on the Sea Surface, riddled with bullet holes from the shooting. Behind them, the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat continued to fire guns while chasing and used the loudspeaker on board to warn the Chinese Fishing Boat to stop and submit to an inspection or else bear the consequences.

Upon seeing the Chinese Fishing Boat and the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat, the Drone immediately climbed rapidly, reaching an altitude of two hundred meters, preparing to dive for an attack.
