Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 999: 999 Methods

Tan Shaoting thought for a moment; using a fishing boat was also feasible. On the way, he could have the fishermen find their way back on their own. By then, the four of them would have shown themselves openly here, adding more credibility, right?

"Comrade, tell me how to get on the fishing boat."

"Comrade, that’s really very dangerous."

Tan Shaoting shook his head. "It’s okay, I know what to do." Right now, he wanted to return to his wife’s side immediately. He had been here for over forty days, and it was truly unbearable.

"Let me help arrange it."

Tan Shaoting firmly shook his head, "No, I won’t implicate you. Just tell me what I need to do. I’ll handle everything myself."

Although he only had a rough idea of these two people’s identities, fellow countrymen abroad, a wife should still be useful, right? Besides, he couldn’t cause trouble for innocent people.

Tan Shaoting received the message and went looking the next morning.

His reason was that he wanted to show the children how to fish. There’s nothing money can’t solve. Tan Shaoting had quite a bit of local money, so the fishing boat agreed to his request. The time was set for tonight.

The children were very excited when they received this news. Finally, they were going back. In fact, they had Spirit Stones and could use the Flying Boat, but it was hard to explain. A fishing boat was much easier to talk about. Moreover, Tan Shaoting specially bought a small boat to take along.

He didn’t know if these fishermen were innocent or not, but in this matter, they were indeed innocent. This small boat was prepared for them.

The waiting was truly agonizing. The three children checked the time countless times, eagerly awaiting the appointed time.

Finally, the time arrived. Tan Shaoting and his three children were waiting by the sea. Since the number of people on the fishing boat was limited, with their addition, four fishermen were left out. However, the money given was enough to cover three days of earnings at sea. Moreover, they promised to help.

When the fishing boat finally set off, the four of them felt relieved. It wasn’t far from the road home now.

This was a remote village. Although things were chaotic back home, no one was coming here to check.

The speed of the fishing boat was decent. After nightfall, it had traveled a great distance, not far from their usual fishing spot.

At this moment, Tan Shaoting stood up, pulled out a gun, and ordered them off the boat.

The four onboard were dumbfounded. Were they being robbed of their boat? But the man was holding a gun.

Originally, they thought four people could handle one person, being seasoned individuals. However, one of the kids swiftly knocked one of them down.

Now they were really compliant. Meekly, they got off the fishing boat onto the small boat. Tan Shaoting made it clear that if they made any moves, the small boat would be no more, and they’d be thrown into the sea.

Now it was just Tan Shaoting and his children on the fishing boat. Actually, Su Yuanyuan had long said where they should land; the nearest port was possible, but they’d still need to take a train on land.

Initially, they thought about landing where they disappeared, but that would mean a long time sailing in the sea.

Tan Shaoting also intended to land at the nearest place, allowing him to call Zeng Zhenqing, yielding the same result.

Tan Shaoting used his Divine Sense to navigate, making it safer since they had never sailed alone before, which was a bit concerning.

Meanwhile, the four fishermen rowed nervously, fearing the appearance of a large sea beast. Fortunately, by dawn, they had reached the shore.

This was a case of losing both the lady and the soldiers. They hurriedly went to the local police to report the case, which attracted significant attention. Just when they couldn’t figure out how to catch the criminals, finally there was a lead.

They directly called the higher-ups to report, attracting major attention, and dispatched five coast guard ships to pursue.

However, the locals spoke in the language there, but such despicable scoundrels just assumed it was the work of their people. They directly called Lu Chengmin.

Since Su Yuanyuan was in charge of matters there, Lu Chengmin pushed it away, and eventually, they called Su Yuanyuan again.

Receiving this call, Su Yuanyuan was very happy, but her words were even sharper.

"What evidence do you have? Caught anyone? Are they our people? Maybe you’re overthinking? I think your lack of moral standards is incriminating us. I strongly oppose it.

You completely orchestrated this yourself. If you continue to slander us without real evidence, we will take legal action and impose sanctions."

Now they were speechless, having not caught anyone yet, but thinking those four who took the fishing boat couldn’t have gone too far since the boat’s diesel was limited.

So they were very confident in catching them. However, after a day and a night at sea, there was no sign of the boat.

After hanging up, Su Yuanyuan called Zeng Zhenqing. Then she headed straight to Lu Chengmin’s office to wait.

Zeng Zhenqing left the meeting directly because Xiao Su said it was something very important.

Lu Chengmin was also very curious about what was going on.

"Xiao Su, did you arrange this?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, I’m not sure about it either. But I called Leader Zeng over, and when he arrives, have him call the maritime office. We must closely monitor, and if we find those four, we must protect them at all costs, even using force."

Zeng Zhenqing pushed the door open and came in. "What do you mean by using force?"

"Leader, I got a call from Japan. Those four committed a crime there a few days ago. Now they’ve hijacked a fishing boat, but we don’t know if they’re ours. However, notify all maritime offices immediately; if they find them, protect them at all costs, even using force."

"Xiao Chin, get on the phone and inform them. Don’t leave anyone out."

Qin Zhiyuan turned and left. Hearing the news, he felt his steps were much lighter.

"Xiao Su, do you think they’re ours?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "I don’t know and haven’t arranged anything, but we must prepare for a rescue. Even if they’re Japanese, we’ll take them and protect them."

She said this with an excited expression on her face, knowing the children were finally back.

But Lu Chengmin and Zeng Zhenqing thought this Xiao Su was thrilled as if enemies were getting their comeuppance.

Tan Shaoting and his children were maneuvering the fishing boat, unaware of maritime boundaries. So, when they entered domestic waters, they were soon surrounded by coast guard ships.
