Chapter 183: Boarding the Ship
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Not far from the coast, a fishing boat docked.
The afternoon sun was gentle, shining on the surface of the sea. Everyone walked out from the small path in the bushes and walked straight into the sea, swimming toward the fishing boat.
“Hurry up!”
Xu Wenping had already boarded the boat. Hearing the urging voices behind him, the bald robber and Cai Anlan were also the last to board the boat.
Other than Chen Pi, the rest of the people on the boat were the robbers. Although their clothes were soaked, they were dry in a short while thanks to the sea breeze and the sun.
Xu Wenping and Chen Pi changed into dry clothes that they had prepared beforehand. When he came to the deck, the bandit leader revealed an admiring expression and smiled gently. “As expected of Mr. Xu. To be able to brazenly arrange a boat nearby in the middle of the day, your connections must be very good, right?”
Xu Wenping chuckled and didn’t deny it. He took out a cigarette and lit one himself before throwing the cigarette box to the robbers.
A group of men sat on the deck, puffing smoke as the ship slowly moved forward.
Originally, he wanted to let the robbers make a call directly, but Xu Wenping calculated the time. Their small fishing boat would actually take half a day to reach the international waters. It was not far from the time they had agreed on at night.
It was better not to alert the enemy and wait until they reached the ship.
When the fishing boat reached the international waters, it was already sunset. Only then did the bandit leader take out a one-way phone and exchange positions with Ichiro Matsuoka.
The sky had just darkened when a luxury cruise ship appeared in everyone’s sight.
The leader of the robbers did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered his men to be on guard.
The luxury cruise ship approached.
The difference in size between the two ships was too great. He did not know if they could be seen from above. In short, they could not see the scene on the cruise ship from below.
The leader of the robbers took out his phone again to contact him.
“Mr. Matsuoka, if it’s you on the cruise ship, throw the rope down and connect us,” the bandit leader said softly.
The person on the other end sounded a little excited. Similarly, his Great Dragon Kingdom language was not very good either. He said, “Have you caught the person?”
“Mr. Matsuoka, don’t worry.”
“Alright, alright, alright… I’ll bring you up immediately!”
A rope was thrown down from the cruise ship. The leader of the robbers and the three of them looked at each other in tacit understanding.
Everyone boarded the cruise ship in batches. Xu Wenping was at the back of the line. He said to Chen Pi, “You don’t have to go up. Drive the fishing boat back early.”
Chen Pi frowned slightly, obviously a little worried about Xu Wenping’s safety. However, after thinking for a while, he nodded.
Xu Wenping boarded the ship with a rope.
At this moment, the lights on the deck of the cruise ship were dim. However, when one looked inside the cruise ship, it was filled with joy. The decorations of Japan were unique and clear. The men and women inside were coming and going. It was like an ordinary commercial cruise ship on the high seas.
Many robbers had already come up. Compared to their chaotic appearance, the few bodyguards in black who were holding submachine guns were neatly arranged and looked exceptionally dignified.
In the middle of the bodyguards was a man in a suit. He was less than 1.6 meters tall and had a mustache. There was a mole at the corner of his mouth. His hair was combed back and shiny. Even in the dark, it reflected light.
This should be Ichiro Matsuoka.
There was a greedy smile in his eyes. When he saw Xu Wenping, he immediately missed his eyes and continued to stare at the people on the boat.
The bald robber was the last to board the ship, while Cai Anlan was the second last.
When he saw Cai Anlan board the boat, a bright light flashed in Ichiro Matsuoka’s eyes. Seeing that Cai Anlan’s hands and feet were tied up, he smiled and went up to her. “Miss Cai! It’s been hard on you. Hello, hello, I’m Ichiro
Matsuoka!”
Ichiro Matsuoka went up to shake hands with her, but Cai Anlan glared at him coldly and dodged him.
Ichiro Matsuoka’s expression froze for a moment, but then he laughed and said, “Hurry up and untie Miss Cai!”
The bodyguards behind him immediately wanted to step forward.
However, he was obstructed by the robbers.
Ichiro Matsuoka smiled and patted the bandit leader’s shoulder. “Mr. Robber, your mission has been completed. You can go to your room to rest. I’ll transfer the remaining money to your account later.”
The leader of the robbers raised his eyebrows slightly and then chuckled. “Mr. Matsuoka, it’s not that we don’t trust you. According to the rules, we will hand over the money and the person. We will just leave.”
“But this time, it’s not as simple as you think.”
Ichiro Matsuoka frowned slightly and realized that the robbers had not put down their weapons at all. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. Ichiro Matsuoka said, “Mr. Robber, what do you mean?”
At this moment, everyone’s gaze fell on Xu Wenping.
Xu Wenping smiled lightly and walked out from the crowd. He stood in front of Ichiro Matsuoka and said with a smile, “Hello, Mr. Matsuoka. Everyone here is my brother. 1 know that you want to take something from Cai Yang.”
“I just don’t know, can you?”
Ichiro Matsuoka was slightly stunned. Then, he frowned and did not reply directly. Instead, he turned to look at the bandit leader and said, “Mr. Robber, I’ve already seen the strength of your kidnapping. However, I’m afraid that business is not something that you can participate in just because you want to.” “Isn’t it a little too unprofessional to play this game?”
The leader of the robbers chuckled and said, “Mr. Matsuokais right. We are indeed not good at doing business. Didn’t we find an expert Mr. Xu? Mr. Matsuoka doesn’t need to talk to us. Mr. Xu’s opinion can represent us.”
In front of Ichiro Matsuoka, these robbers would really show the aura of a desperate man.
The main reason was that they had already reached the high seas. The robbers would naturally not be afraid of a fight to the death. However, if it was within the territory of the Great Dragon Kingdom, a meaningless fight would naturally make people retreat.
Compared to the guns in their hands, it was obvious that the robbers had more.
“Hehehe…”
Ichiro Matsuoka’s eyes were filled with a gloomy light. After laughing coldly, he said, “Then why don’t you let me hear how it’s done? Business… We can talk.”
“How about this… This is Mr. Xu? Mr. Robber, why don’t you take Miss Cai to rest first, and 1’11 talk to Mr. Xu first?”
Ichiro Matsuoka was also shrewd and shrewd. He still maintained a smile in the face of the robbers’ falling out.
The robbers frowned and looked at Xu Wenping.
Who knew if Ichiro Matsuoka really wanted to talk or if he wanted to harm Xu Wenping? Now, these robbers and Xu Wenping could be considered to have a common destiny.
Of course, they had to consider Xu Wenping’s safety..
