Chapter 246 Sea Bandits
As the collision occurred, two crew members and two bodyguards immediately stepped forward to check the situation.
Chen Feng originally thought that the loss would end soon, but he didn't know that things were not that simple.
Three large-powered fishing boats suddenly emerged from nearby waters, surrounding their cruise ships.
Bodyguard Li Haobo came up and said, "Boss, they said we broke their fishing boat and asked us to compensate 100,000 US dollars, otherwise we would not be allowed to leave."
Marcus, a white translator who came up with him, explained: "We were driving normally, and their ship took the initiative to come over and then the impact occurred. They were just hitting the car."
"I'll go and see..."
As he said that, Chen Feng wanted to go to the bow of the boat to take a look.
Marcus immediately pulled him and said, "Boss, these people are not good at coming, and it is very likely that they have weapons on them, so it's better to be careful."
Chen Feng frowned and said, "You mean, are they pirates?"
Marcus explained: "Not professional pirates, these people are some of the Hey Gangers from nearby countries.
They usually use serious transactions to cover up illegal activities. Merchant ships traveling on the Coral Sea basically pay protection fees, or have forces behind them, so they usually don’t encounter any trouble.
And when they encounter ships like us who have no background or pay protection fees, they will come to cause trouble."
Chen Feng asked nervously: "What will happen if you don't pay?"
Marcus said: "It depends on which country the other party belongs to. When encountering some people who are easier to speak, they will be given some hard work. When encountering those who are not easy to speak, they will really be able to shoot."
Chen Feng nodded and said, "Ask them which gang they are from, and then give them the money."
He is not the kind of person who sacrifices his life and refuses to give up his wealth. One hundred thousand dollars is no different from ten dollars for him. There is no need to bet on whether these cruel and ruthless Hey Gang members dare to shoot.
Safety is the first priority when you go out.
"Okay boss."
Marcus and Li Haobo went over to negotiate again.
"Bang"
A few minutes later, a gunshot suddenly sounded, which immediately shocked Chen Feng inside the boat.
Soon Li Haobo brought Marcus to come again. It turned out that those people had raised the price again, saying that the hull was seriously damaged and it cost 500,000 US dollars.
Zeng Luoyu frowned and said, "They went back on their word. Who knows if they gave $500,000 in the future, would they ask for $1 million?"
Marcus said: "These people are gang members in the western province of Baya. They are very cruel. If they are not given to them, they will probably board the ship and the consequences will be unimaginable. As for whether they will leave, they can only bet now."
Chen Feng frowned, looked at Marcus and said, "Okay, give it to them!"
He said in his heart: "What, I'll just recruit mercenaries and buy powerful weapons. In the future, when he encounters such pirates who block the road and rob, he will directly call him by rocketing!
As for the problem of weapon carrying, just register an international security company in Baya Country so that you can legally carry a gun.
Having said that, Baya's security situation is also very bad. Last year, a group of bandits holding guns broke into the airport, looting all passengers and plundering airport equipment and food.
In the future, Port Moresby in Baya will be used as a transit station, and you must prepare in advance."
Just as the two were about to leave, Chen Feng said, "Wait a minute."
As he said that, Chen Feng walked over and whispered a few words in Li Haobo's ear.
A look of surprise appeared in Li Haobo's eyes, and then he left as usual.
After throwing the box containing $500,000 with a rope to the pirates who were trying to get into the car, the fishing boats surrounded finally left and soon disappeared on the vast sea.
Things finally ended without any danger.
This made everyone feel relieved.
The cruise ship restarted and headed towards Port Moresby.
Soon two bodyguards arrived in the room.
One of them was guarding the door, and Li Haobo sat in front of the table.
Chen Feng asked, "How is the investigation?"
Li Haobo said: "I asked someone and this Marcus is indeed a Hey Gang member."
After pausing, Li Haobo showed a look of self-blame on his face: "I have a great responsibility for this matter. I have not investigated his background clearly and recruited him on the ship."
Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "Not you blame me, who would have thought that an interpreter would do something bad about eating and drinking behind his back?"
To be honest, he didn't expect there to be an insider at first, but he accidentally discovered that Marcus looked as usual when talking about the brutal pirate, and there was no look of panic in his eyes, and he seemed very calm.
To put it badly, no matter how good your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives.
He thought he was extremely brave, and now he had no problem fighting three or five special forces with bare hands, but he was also frightened when facing the pirates holding guns.
Marcus's reaction is not in line with the performance of an ordinary person when encountering an emergency.
So the only possibility is that the other party has been prepared for this.
This explains why I was so unlucky that I met pirates when I went to sea for the first time.
The other $500,000 is probably not what the robbers want, but Marcus found that they were carrying a lot of cash, so he used some secret codes to temporarily increase the price.
So it makes sense for our ancestors to say that wealth is not revealed.
Li Haobo asked, "What should I do now, boss?"
Chen Feng glanced at Zeng Luoyu, and Zeng Luoyu shook his head and said, "Now we are in the vast sea, so we should not be alerted for the time being, so as not to find out that our accomplices can't contact him anymore, and kill him back.
We just pretended not to know. When we were about to arrive in Port Moresby tomorrow, it would not be too late to arrest him and interrogate him at that time."
Chen Feng nodded and said, "Well, it's good, that's it."
"I got it, boss..."
The next ten hours went very smoothly, and I didn’t meet any pirates who came to rob the car.
When Port Moresby appeared in sight and some other merchant ships began to appear around him, Li Haobo and Deng Yu directly controlled Marcus.
Marcus was not a hero or a steadfast agent. He had not received professional torture training. Li Haobo covered his face with a towel and poured a bucket of sea water on his face. He immediately cried and burst into tears.
As expected, the pirates and Marcus were in the same group, and they found the cruise ship based on the location signal sent by Marcus.
"Please don't call the police..."
When he heard Deng Yu contacting the Port Moresby Police Station, Marcus was so scared that he fell to his head. He knelt on the ground with his hands on his back and kept begging for mercy, begging Chen Feng not to hand him over to the police station.
Li Haobo told Chen Feng that Baya's punishment for violent robbery was very strict, and in situations like Marcus, they basically had to sit in the bottom of the prison.
The prison conditions in Baya are very harsh, and it is completely unknown whether they can get out of the prison alive.
It is precisely because of this that Marcus is so scared.
However, Chen Feng naturally would not sympathize with such a person.
By the time the cruise ship landed, the police in Port Moresby had arrived.
Marcus couldn't even stand firmly at this time and sat on the ground.
Two policemen came up, raised Marcus one left and one right, and dragged him off the cruise ship.
Chapter completed!
