Chapter 61 Turbulent Sea
It was half past eleven at night when seven ships with red and white warhammer flags slowly approached the border of the Dragon City and the open sea from the northern sea area.
The lead ship was a large commercial fishing vessel, which looked similar to a normal deep-sea fishing boat at first glance. However, upon closer observation with binoculars, it was apparent that the ship carried some military equipment, such as radar, bulletproof cabin shields, and small-scale offensive weapons like positioning guns.
The seven fishing vessels were about to reach the Dragon City waters. Inside the bridge of the lead ship, a black man holding a walkie-talkie shouted in broken Chinese, "Feng, we're heading back now. Have a safe journey."
"Have a safe journey," came the response from the walkie-talkie.
After exchanging their farewells, the six fishing boats with military equipment stopped within the public sea border and began to turn around. The remaining ordinary fishing boat continued to advance toward the direction of the inner port of the Dragon City.
—---
It was twelve forty in the morning.
Feng Hai, the head of the Zhanan Ma Gang, stood on the deck of a medium-sized fishing boat, waving his hand and shouting, "Lower the flag, lower the flag!"
Two men beside him immediately ran to the bow and the stern of the ship and used ropes to lower the warhammer flag, replacing it with the red flag of the Dragon City Special Zone.
Feng Hai lit a cigarette and stood at the entrance of the cabin, dialing a phone number. "Prepare to enter the port and collect the goods," he said.
"Got it. Will you take two lines?" the person on the other end asked.
"Yes," Feng Hai nodded.
"Okay, that's settled."
After the call ended, the people at the Zhanan Dock immediately contacted Tang Baiqing. "Hey, Brother Tang, we're about to start harvesting."
"You guys go ahead. We'll stay out of sight," Tang Baiqing replied.
"Alright," the people from the dock hung up the phone.
The waters within the port were calm, and the fishing boat was sailing steadily. Feng Hai, the leader of the Zhanan Ma gang, finished his phone call and began ordering his brothers on board to move the cargo up from the bottom hold with practiced ease.
Around one in the morning, while everyone was busy working, three speedboats rushed in from the southern sea. Judging by their direction, they had likely entered the port from the open sea.
The three speedboats turned off their lights, revved their engines to the max, and rapidly approached the fishing boat.
"Boss, there's movement," shouted the lookout who was responsible for keeping watch, running down from the helm towards Feng Hai.
"What's going on?" Feng Hai, who was directing the work, immediately raised his head.
"Three speedboats..."
"Swish, swish!"
Before the lookout could finish speaking, the three speedboats had already closed in and almost simultaneously turned on their powerful searchlights.
For a moment, the people working on deck were exposed by the bright lights and their vision was blocked.
"Damn it! Something's not right. Get your weapons!" Feng Hai shouted.
The lookout on deck heard the call and immediately drew out guns, machetes, and other items from their waist. Some even pulled out three automatic rifles from the hold.
Meanwhile, three or four strong men immediately pulled up the barbed wire fence around the deck railings to prevent the enemy from boarding.
The people on the boat reacted quickly, but those on the three speedboats were obviously better prepared. After turning on the searchlights, one of the speedboats began to circle around the fishing boat, and three masked men with automatic rifles stood on the deck, firing at the boat's deck without hesitation.
"Rat-a-tat-tat...!"
The thunderous sound of gunfire echoed across the sea, catching the people on the deck off guard as they scrambled for cover. It was then that Feng Hai spotted a man on the lead speedboat aiming an RPG launcher, the sheer force of which could only be imagined by those on board, even though it had not been fired yet.

Hi! Can you add me as a friend?
Firearms were strictly regulated in Dragon City, and weapons of this caliber were scarce in the inland. Local gangsters dared not openly carry such items, let alone use them to commit major crimes within their jurisdiction. It was only the seasoned outlaws, renegades, and private armed groups operating outside the district that could muster such firepower.
Objectively speaking, the smuggling routes of the gang were quite well-established. However, due to the chaotic environment of the high seas, teeming with private militias, rebel forces, and all sorts of shady dealers, the gang required their suppliers to provide protection along the shipping route when delivering goods to the inland. Once they entered the inner harbor, they were protected by customs officers, making it difficult for anyone to cause trouble. But today, someone dared to attack them within the inner harbor.
Since the gang gained control of the port, they had a sizeable number of members and had strong connections. To put it bluntly, there was hardly anyone in Dragon City's underworld who dared to touch them or their cargo.
—---
The gunfire sent Feng Hai and his men scrambling for cover on the deck. Two other speedboats approached the vessel and immediately fired ropes onto the ship, allowing the seasoned outlaws on board to climb aboard with ease.
The leader of the invading gang the senior gangster, adorned with explosives and grenades, climbed onto the middle deck with an imposing air.
Feng Hai and his men had considered resisting, but upon seeing the explosives hanging from the invaders' bodies, they quickly realized that they would be blown to pieces and their fellow crew members would suffer the same fate if they opened fire.
The senior gangster hung his gun on his waist and shouted, "We want the goods, not your lives. Cooperate honestly, and we won't have any conflicts. But if you're not smart, I'll send you and this ship to heaven together."
"Are you making a mistake, this is Ma gang’s good?" Feng Hai shouted.
"No, it's definitely you guys!" Over a dozen invaders with masks on controlled the people on the deck and forced them to the bow of the ship.
At this time, the maritime police had already reacted. Three patrol boats were frantically approaching from different directions.
Tang Baiqing on the ship's face turned white, shouting, "Quickly, start the engine!"
When the gunshots rang out just now, Feng Hai immediately called him for help, but the maritime police had already left the patrol area to avoid the fishing boat's route, and the two sides were not too close.
On the fishing boat.
A man of medium build walked quickly into the cargo hold where Feng Hai and others were loading the goods, and after searching for less than two minutes, he found Ma gang's smuggled goods in the middle deck compartment.
"Swish!"
The man with the medium build used a knife to cut open the cardboard boxes and glanced down to see a large number of valuable watches and tablet computers.
These goods were all genuine branded products with logos, and the only difference from the goods in the mall was that they were not subject to taxes and were smuggled in from the sea.
The tax rate for electronic products and luxury goods in Dragon City was not low, around thirty percent, but they sold well as they were considered essential by modern society, making the industry incredibly profitable.
As the man surveyed the cargo hold, he turned to shout, "He's hit us where it hurts, so we'll hit him where it counts. We can't take this stuff with us, so let's burn the whole ship down."
"Sixth Dog," his companion Kong Zhenghui interjected, calling out Su Tianyu's code name for their operation. "Should we burn the ship too?"
"Let's make him regret it," Su Tianyu nodded, ready to make his move.
Just then, footsteps echoed across the deck. The senior gangster, who had been hired by Yu Mingyuan, approached Su Tianyu with two yellow objects resembling bricks in his hands. "Do you know what this is?" he asked.
Su Tianyu turned to that person and inspected the yellow bricks under the light. They were wrapped in plastic and had a hammer logo imprinted on them. "What is this?" he asked.
"The goods from the hold are to cover up the goods in my hands, understand?" The senior gangster explained.
Su Tianyu was momentarily puzzled and looked down at the yellow bricks again, trying to make sense of what was going on.
"All the bricks on the deck are like this," The man added.
