Wei Jie
Chapter 63 The Eve Before the Storm
On the fishing boat.
Su Tianbei stood on the deck, turning his head to look at the flashing police lights of the maritime police patrol ships on the sea, and the various speedboats rushing out of the harbor on the shore. With a worried expression, he said to Su Tianyu, "You're playing with your life! Once you enter the estuary, what if you can't get out?"
Su Tianyu glanced back at him, "I know what I'm doing. You guys go first."
"Forget it, I'll stay!" It was clear how strong the family bond was. Su Tianbei said to Gou Liuzi almost without hesitation, "You go with them, I'll stay and control the boat."
"Can you drive a boat?" Su Tianyu looked at him and said, "Listen to me, just leave quickly. Just wait for me at the fixed location, as I told you."
"Let's go."
Lao Leizi rushed over and urged, "Hurry up, if the maritime police surround us, we'll all be pinned down."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Gou Liuzi, Su Tianbei had to prioritize the overall situation. He followed the rope hanging on the wall of the fishing boat and returned to the speedboat with Lao Leizi. One of the Lao Leizi took a quick look and saw that his waist was a little bloated.
At this moment, Kong Zhengui, who was staying behind to finish up, suddenly waved his hand and shouted, "You guys go first, Liuzi and I will control the boat."
The thugs Yu Mingyuan hired were sure to die if they were caught by the maritime police, so they didn't try to persuade Kong Zhengui any further and just drove the three speedboats away quickly.
On the boat, Kong Zhengui, holding a gun, came to the cockpit. Looking at the maritime police patrol ships on the sea, he asked Su Tianyu urgently, "Can you drive a boat?"
"Yes, I've been exposed to it before. Nowadays, ships all have automatic navigation systems. If we didn't have to rush into the inner harbor, there would be no need to leave anyone on board." While operating the boat, Su Tianyu turned to look at Kong Zhengui, "Why didn't you leave?"
"I'm afraid something will happen to you, and you'll turn around and sell us out." Kong Zhengui replied casually, "I'm with you, the risk is controllable."
"You're a gambler too!" Su Tianyu accurately assessed Kong Zhengui.
"I'll watch the people in the cabin and tell you the location of the maritime police." Kong Zhengui knew very well what he had to do. After saying that, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and ran away.
On the sea, the waves surged and the cold wind blew. Su Tianyu steered the fishing boat directly towards the very near estuary.
Dragon City has a freshwater river called the Long River. It was built by the city's water conservancy planning department when the city was first built to divert water. Its source is 500 kilometers east of Dragon City, and its tail is in the Zha Nan District. This is also the origin of the name Zha Nan District, because the river water will be discharged here and flow into the sea.
As the fishing boat rushed into the estuary, the maritime police speedboats and patrol ships on the left and right sides surrounded it from all directions. Because the estuary was very close to the port, the maritime police speedboats rushing out of the harbor were visibly approaching the fishing boat.
Seeing the dark mass of maritime police speedboats behind them, Kong Zhengui shouted into the walkie-talkie, his scalp tingling, "Hurry up, I can already see the nostrils of the police officers on the speedboat!"
"Almost there, almost there!" Su Tianyu drove the fishing boat into the estuary and looked up to see the Donglong Bridge not far away, "The boat is almost there, just jump down."
With that, Su Tianyu opened the boat's horsepower to the maximum, and the bottom of the fishing boat made an obvious sound of hitting reefs. Even the iron plates on both sides of the bottom of the boat occasionally sparked.
Although the Long River is not shallow, the waterway near the estuary is full of reefs. Some of them are naturally formed, and some of them are artificially filled, the purpose of which is to control the wind and waves here with reefs and make the water surface stable.
About two kilometers away, on the maritime police patrol ship, Tang Baiqing's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared with a ferocious expression, "Urge the speedboats to hurry up. They can open fire, but they must stop the fishing boat near the Donglong Bridge for me!"
Tang Baiqing's mentality really exploded when he saw the fishing boat rushing into the estuary, because no one knew better than him how much trouble this batch of goods would bring to himself, the wharf gang, and even some leaders in the customs if it was exposed.
"Buzz!"
On the Jiangdao of the estuary, the sound of the motors roared. After seven or eight speedboats rushed in, someone shouted through a megaphone, "The ship in front, stop immediately, or we will open fire."
At the same time, two helicopters from the port's maritime police team also flew out, flying diagonally from low altitude.
Hiding in the cabin, Kong Zhengui watched the helicopter approaching at low altitude, his heart in his throat, "Gou Liuzi, are you going to make it? We're going to be blocked here!"
In the cockpit.
Even Su Tianyu, who was extremely courageous and had a perverted mental quality, was sweating on his forehead and his eyes were red at the moment.
He originally returned to Dragon City to apply for a public position and develop a positive energy career, but he didn't expect that it had been less than five months since he landed, and he was already with Lao Leizi and a bunch of desperate thugs.
If he was caught, he could forget about public office. If he wasn't sentenced to death, it would be because his ancestral grave was smoking.
Su Tianyu turned the rudder, looked at the underwater information fed back on the radar, and shouted to Kong Zhengui again, "Prepare to jump!"
"Buzz!"
The speedboats behind them roared, and in the blink of an eye, they were less than a hundred meters away.
Kong Zhengui ran out of the cabin without hesitation and shouted into the walkie-talkie, "I don't care about you anymore, I'm leaving."
"The people on the boat, squat on the ground with your heads in your hands, now!" The police officers on the maritime police speedboat had already seen Kong Zhengui.
"Squat your mother!"
Kong Zhengui certainly didn't need to shoot at the maritime police speedboat, because that would be a completely different crime than what he was doing now, so he threw away the gun he had snatched from the wharf gang and jumped directly off the boat. The maritime police in the distance didn't have time to stop him.
In the cockpit.
Seeing that the Donglong Bridge was close at hand, Su Tianyu set the automatic cruise control and turned to run to the outer deck.
"Da da da...!"
At this moment, the maritime police opened fire, directly suppressing Su Tianyu back into the cockpit.
Behind them, the police speedboat pounced over, and the maritime police, who were ready, boarded the boat at the first time by throwing ropes.
In the water, Kong Zhengui showed his head and saw that the maritime police were already climbing onto the boat, and Su Tianyu had also been suppressed back into the cockpit by the bullets. His heart suddenly turned cold, "It's over, we can't get out."
"Pull the boat, don't let them cross the bridge!"
Tang Baiqing's shouting resounded through the public channel, and his eyes were also fixed on the fishing boat's position.
After several police speedboats hooked the fishing boat's railings with ropes, they began to drive backwards frantically, trying to stop the fishing boat and prevent it from crossing the Donglong Bridge.
Underwater.
Kong Zhengui, the old gambler, was really scared. While diving, he was thinking, if Su Tianyu was caught red-handed, what should he do? Would this guy betray everyone?
"Glug glug!"
Just when Kong Zhengui was a little dazed, there was a sudden soft sound underwater.
In the Long River.
Several speedboats frantically dragged the medium-sized fishing boat, but its tonnage was too low. The police officers on the speedboat saw with their own eyes that the fishing boat had crossed the Donglong Bridge.
In these short few meters, everything would be different.
At the wharf.
Xu Hu rushed out of the room barefoot and in pajamas, shouting in a very flustered manner, "Hurry up, you bastards, hurry up!"
