Chapter 868: Dawn Breaks! China’s maritime sovereignty is inviolable!
Because of Shu Han's actions, the gunmen around him looked at each other in dismay. The once fierce-looking thugs now turned their guns away, no longer daring to point them at the skinny monkey, for fear of accidentally firing and killing him.
Skinny Monkey also raised his hand, not expecting that this guy would take advantage of him. His voice trembled slightly, but he did not back down completely: "Don't struggle anymore. Your companion has already been captured by us. Threatening me now is useless. On this vast sea, you have nowhere to escape."
"If you're willing to release me now, I can spare your lives."
Shu Han completely ignored him, only sneered and looked at the other thugs, saying, "Bring our comrade here safely right now! Otherwise, if he's injured anywhere, I'll have to make sure this guy in my arms gets the same wound!"
"Okay, okay, bring that guy over here."
Skinny Monkey faced the gun barrels that were gradually closing in on him, his expression filled with resentment, but he ultimately dared not gamble and could only stall for time, signaling to his men beside him with his eyes.
So his men slowly dispersed, but did not immediately bring Cheng Bei out.
At the same time, the skinny monkey was also tentatively tilting his head back, trying to see if he could find a flaw in Shu Han's defenses.
Unexpectedly, Shu Han immediately pressed the gun barrel against his temple, pushing his fingers in so hard that the skinny monkey could clearly hear the "click" of the trigger about to be pulled.
He immediately raised his hands, not daring to harbor any illusions: "Let's talk this out! Officer, please calm down!"
Yes, after all that contact, the skinny monkey thought that the person holding him was actually a policeman.
This is understandable, as Shu Han's appearance naturally exudes righteousness, making him appear like a decent person at first glance. Therefore, many of the roles he played before were upright police officers.
Furthermore, only the police would dare to risk their lives to dive onto his boat and rescue people.
Shu Han did not refute his words.
At that moment, he was an upright policeman who was willing to give his life to protect the people.
The characters I've portrayed before seem to finally come to life at this moment.
The person who painted the skin and depicted the bones, showcasing the character's life, finally gained the character's spirit and soul.
...
What happened next is still fresh in many people's minds.
Shu Han threatened the skinny monkey and confronted the others.
Meanwhile, Xiao He, in the steering wheel room, also saw that red color on the panel.
The first red dot appeared a few kilometers away from the cargo ship.
First there was one red dot, then two red dots, and finally many red dots—
They were orderly and extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye they had formed an encirclement and were heading towards them.
The thugs at the door were still shouting and saying things Xiao He couldn't understand, but he sat calmly on the ground with a relieved smile on his face.
—On the distant horizon, dazzling lights illuminated the night.
The light moved from afar to near, from dark to bright, and almost instantly, the ship carrying the light was already rushing towards them, breaking through the waves.
The massive law enforcement vessel cleaved through the dark sea, pressing in along with other boats, and in the blink of an eye, it had closed in layer upon layer, completely blocking all escape routes for the cargo ship.
Flashing red and blue police lights spread across the sea, shattering the deep darkness of the night. Cold beams swept across the dilapidated cargo ship's hull, exposing the crimes lurking in the shadows.
Then, the sea breeze completely subsided.
The oppressive atmosphere that had been suffocating vanished instantly, replaced by an overwhelming sense of security and immense power emanating from the state apparatus.
Immediately afterwards, the coast guard ship's loudspeaker suddenly blared, its authoritative sound overwhelming the deathly silence of the sky and resounding throughout the entire sea area:
"Listen up, everyone on board! You have now entered the waters under the jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China. We have full law enforcement authority in accordance with the law! The ship is now completely surrounded. Please lay down your weapons immediately, cease all resistance, and accept our takeover and control. Stubborn resistance will only increase your punishment. Giving up resistance is the only way out!"
The sound repeated itself again and again, the sound waves spreading out in circles, but the waves had completely stopped, and the cargo ship was utterly plunged into despair.
The thugs looked at each other, completely panicked.
"What's going on? Chinese police?"
How did they get here?
"Aren't we in international waters? Why are we in Chinese waters?"
"We're doomed! What do we do? Are we surrounded? Where can we escape to?"
The skinny monkey's eyes widened in horror: "How is this possible? How could we possibly have come to Chinese waters?"
"How dare they come?"
"No, could it be—"
Skinny Monkey recalled the message his men had sent him and suddenly realized something. His eyes widened even more, and his expression was almost distorted beyond recognition: "It was you! It was you! You took our ship and brought us into Chinese waters!"
Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it...
China!
Even though he has done a lot of business around this land and dealt with many people there, he is still most afraid of China.
They were even more afraid of coming to China's territory.
Because he knew very well that if someone like him entered Chinese territory, he would probably never have a good life again.
Regardless of nationality or identity, the multiple murders and transnational human trafficking cases involved extremely heinous crimes, for which they are punishable by death and carried out in China. There is no basis for the claim that foreign nationality allows them to escape severe punishment.
How many Chinese people died at his hands?
He couldn't remember anymore.
But there will surely be someone who will record his crimes one by one, judge his sins, and pronounce his death sentence—
From then on, every day I lived was a countdown to the end of my life.
In resentment, repentance, and despair, they awaited the retribution they deserved!
At this moment, the situation on the ship reversed, and they had no way out.
Then, the skinny monkey roared once more: "Everyone, kill them!"
Since the crime has been established and there is nowhere for evil to hide, it is not a loss for him to take these policemen with him before he dies!
Since one life is a death anyway, what difference does it make whether it's two or countless lives?
But the next moment, a deafening roar crashed down from the depths of the clouds.
A coast guard helicopter was already hovering directly above the cargo ship.
The searchlight on the belly of the aircraft shone two ghastly white beams, firmly anchoring every inch of the ship, and also illuminating the skinny monkey's pale face with nowhere to hide.
The powerful rotors stirred up the sea breeze once again, but it was more oppressive than the natural sea breeze before. The red and blue warning lights rotated continuously, and an imposing aura enveloped the entire cargo ship.
The side door of the aircraft was already open, and armed personnel were leaning over, keeping a close watch on the ground, forming a high-altitude blockade.
At this moment, the entire sea surface was enveloped by law enforcement forces, with the sky and sea surrounding it from both sides. The pale moonlight and the flashing police lights intertwined, like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of evil, violently suppressing all thoughts of escape and resistance!
On the deathly silent ship, only the warning echoed continuously in everyone's minds—
"This is Chinese waters! You have harmed our people, and we will arrest you according to the law. All your crimes will be punished by law! Giving up resistance is your only choice!"
"I'll say it again, this is Chinese waters. You have harmed our citizens, and your crimes are unforgivable. Give up resistance..."
In the midst of despair, dawn broke completely!
