Chapter 860: hrilling moment! Successfully retrieved!
On the other side, aboard the Xiang Sheng, Tong Junhui and Lao Qi had just finished their battle.
Fortunately, there weren't many people. Old Qi pinned one of them to the ground, rendering him unable to move, while Tong Junhui was already sitting in the crane's cab, carefully operating the instruments in front of him.
Looking at the complex setup, Tong Junhui struggled to decipher the English words and said, "Oh no, I've only ever operated cranes before. The principle behind this should be similar, right?"
Old Qi, standing outside the cockpit, asked, "Teacher Tong, are you confident?"
"It should be alright, not too difficult. I worked on construction sites for a while, so I know at least the basic buttons and levers."
While saying this, Tong Junhui immediately began his operation, proving it with practice.
No one knows what kind of weird things Tong Junhui has been learning over the years, but after getting to know him, Lao Qi knows that he is a rather steady guy.
If he says it can be opened, then it can be opened.
"Hey, hey, stop messing around!"
The former operator, who was being held down by Lao Qi, was still frantically shouting on the ground, "Those things are not things you can operate!"
However, what he received in response was a shriveled French bread that Lao Qi stuffed into his mouth.
—Well, at this point, don't ask where the bread came from.
Old Qi generously offered his breakfast for tomorrow.
However, things are still not peaceful on their side.
The location of the crane operator's cab wasn't very obvious, but it wasn't the secluded corner they had been in before either. After all, this position required a good view, but it also meant that others could easily see what was happening here.
So when Lao Qi and Tong Junhui forcibly seized control of the area, the men in black who noticed the commotion above immediately reacted and headed up there.
Old Qi piled the unconscious people up the stairs, blocking the already crowded makeshift staircase, and then occupied the high position, blocking the way for these people to come up.
The events outside the cabin did not distract Tong Junhui. He first made a few simple movements of the control levers to confirm that they were largely as he remembered them. Then, he began to skillfully take over the lifting work of the crane below, relying on his intuition.
So the crane, which was already about to put the container back on the cargo ship, started up again, changed direction, and lifted the container back towards the Xiang Sheng.
The people on the ship immediately cried out and cursed, but the crane had already lifted the last container away, and they couldn't chase after it. So they could only try firing a few shots from below to vent their anger.
Tong Junhui glanced down and, without hesitation, rotated the crane arm to move the container into a safe position, preventing bullets from penetrating the container and harming the people inside...
-
Just minutes earlier, Tong Junhui had found a tricky shooting angle and successfully captured the scene of those people transferring containers.
He even managed to capture clear images of the small cargo ship that was right next to the Xiang Sheng.
However, when Tong Junhui saw Xiao He standing openly with others on the deck, he still gasped.
"No wonder Sister Liu keeps an eye on Xiao He every day..."
He zoomed in on the image repeatedly, the camera finally panning quickly across the armed thugs on the deck. A sense of unease rose in his heart: "What's going on? He's not planning to impersonate a member of the Bao family and then lure the remaining victims onto the Xiang Sheng from these people, is he?"
Putting aside the question of how to protect these victims once they are brought back to the Xiang Sheng, those armed men are not to be trifled with. If they knew that Xiao He had lied to them, they would be more likely to board their ship than disembark!
"He's too bold. What if he gets caught?"
Tong Junhui clenched his fist.
They initially thought Xiao He was just like them, conducting his investigation while waiting for the police. But wow, he unexpectedly pulled off something big, venturing straight into enemy territory and deep into the lion's den—
I've heard Sister Liu say before that Xiao He will one day do something earth-shattering and scare her to death.
Now Tong Junhui is certain that if this scene were to get out, not only would it scare Sister Liu to death, but Xiao He's fans and other people who care about Xiao He would probably close their eyes on the spot and faint.
However, as if to prove his jinx, the operator who was controlling the crane boom in the cab suddenly received a phone call.
After understanding what the other person was saying, the driver immediately nodded repeatedly.
Then Tong Junhui saw the operator maneuver the crane boom to lower the container, which was almost on the deck of the Xiang Sheng, back onto the ship.
Meanwhile, a serious conflict suddenly broke out on a small cargo ship below, with several gunshots piercing the night sky and instantly shattering the originally quiet and peaceful night scene on the sea.
Tong Junhui had chosen an excellent spot, from which he could clearly see the man [N O V E L I G H T] who had been chatting and laughing with Xiao He on the deck suddenly pull out a gun, point it at him, and fire.
His heart clenched tightly at that moment.
Fortunately, what followed was a huge relief.
Xiao He was clearly prepared, dodging the bullets in time and finding cover.
To avoid monitoring and inspection, the small cargo ship had very few lights on, and most of the hull was in complete darkness.
Thus, this darkness provided Xiao He and his group with temporary shelter and bought them time.
But Tong Junhui also knew that this was only temporary.
Danger has arrived, so what can they do to help?
His gaze fell on the crane over there.
Old Qi understood the situation and looked over as well...
And so, it turned out like this—
As soon as Tong Junhui placed the containers on the deck of the Xiang Sheng, a large group of people rushed onto the deck and surrounded the containers.
The men in black who were originally confronting Lao Qi were also surrounded by the other security personnel on the ship.
The scene inexplicably presented a standoff between multiple parties—the men in black blocked the container to prevent the secret inside from being discovered by others, while also trying to rush into the crane's cab to take back control of the crane from Lao Qi and Tong Junhui.
Meanwhile, another group of security personnel on the ship surrounded the men in black, watching them intently and preventing them from carrying out any further aggressive attacks, seemingly trying to rescue the people inside the container.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense!
Just then, someone exclaimed, "There are people here too! My God! The container is full of people! What are they doing?"
It turned out that there were too many containers on the deck, and the men in black were short-handed and couldn't watch over all of them, so the containers on the other side had already been opened by others.
However, upon seeing what was inside, many people fell silent and became angry.
—The sheer number of women, children, and infants is terrifying to behold!
In this atmosphere, the three organizers who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb finally arrived late!
