CHAPTER 894: CHAPTER 983: SORRY, YOU’RE SURROUNDED
"The supplies on these few ships are just within what I can afford, so let’s not make it so troublesome. Isn’t it just materials that they want? Give them, give them all, as long as they return my foolish sons."
These words greatly excited the hijackers. They had never encountered such a naive fat sheep in the Middle East for so many years.
Mama Has didn’t say much more, but he felt heartache. All the materials Old Zhou handed over were his commission. Old Zhou wasn’t distressed, but Mama Has was so heartbroken he could barely breathe. Then, Mama Has especially strengthened Masi’s management, and even reported upwards to request more troops.
When a shipload of supplies was unloaded and displayed directly at a pier, everyone around was thrilled.
"Looks like these Huaxia people really intend to exchange supplies for people."
"This kind of hostage-taking is really convenient. If we do it a few more times, wouldn’t we make a fortune?"
"Mama Has’s people also arrived, but they’re all protecting those few Huaxia people. I reckon he’s regretted it now and won’t let anything happen to these people anymore."
"Is it Meijie’s group? Should we take action and rob their supplies?"
"No need, these fat sheep have plenty of supplies and they’re foolish. We should focus our efforts on robbing them, no need to touch Meijie. He has the United States backing him, with ample weapons and ammunition."
Just like that, the Huaxia group followed the hijacker’s instructions entirely—time, place, materials. Old Zhou did everything as told, handed over all the supplies. When the glaring supplies appeared, countless people began to drool.
"Damn, we also need to hurry up and pull off a heist."
"Otherwise, with how stupid they are, sooner or later they’ll be robbed clean."
Meijie was a lame big man, exuding a pirate-like aura. He led people on a remote coast, ready to take the stuff. His ship could immediately take the men and make a swift getaway, loop around, and then disappear without a trace.
"Boss, how do we handle the hostages?"
Meijie smoked a cigarette acquired from Huaxia, becoming increasingly addicted. He blew smokewrings and said, "With so many supplies and such precious hostages, if we could capture that young lady it’d be perfect. That dumb Huaxia man would surely pay an even higher price."
"Should we go capture that young lady?"
Meijie shook his head regretfully, "That one is reserved for elsewhere. We shouldn’t think about it. But, we can keep the hostages. We’ll take the supplies and leave.
After this job, let’s lay low for a while. After all, Masi’s United Nations isn’t to be trifled with. After some time, we’ll use the hostages to demand more."
"Go, be careful."
Several ships floated offshore, Meijie’s men holding a few hostages, instructing the others to load all the supplies onto the ships. When it came time to exchange people, they dropped one hostage for every segment traveled.
While Mama Has found the process nerve-wracking, the Huaxia side appeared clueless, seemingly inexperienced. It was only thanks to Mama Has’s repeated reminders that they managed to come up with a response plan.
Old Zhou: "Thanks for the reminder, our experience of being hijacked isn’t very rich, it’s the first time, and the process is inevitably unclear."
Mama Has chuckled, "I understand, Huaxia is known for its good public order."
Old Zhou then sent many people to follow from afar, support the hostages, while continuing to hand over supplies.
Mama Has waited anxiously.
After waiting all afternoon, Old Zhou’s bodyguard team returned.
Mama Has asked, "How is it? Were the people redeemed?"
Tan Ke scratched his head, "The people were hijacked again."
Mama Has was anxious, "What about the supplies?"
"The supplies were sent away too," Tan Ke said, ashamed, "The hijackers were too cunning, only twelve young masters were brought down."
Mama Has: "..."
"So you used several shiploads of supplies to exchange for one hostage? And the other hostages escaped with the hijackers again?" Mama Has was in disbelief.
Old Zhou comforted, "It’s okay, it’s okay. Rescuing even one is good. They want supplies, probably won’t harm my sons." As he spoke, he glared at the son who was ’rescued’, this useless guy, how could he just be returned?
The bodyguard Wu Xing returned helplessly. He was tall and sturdy, and although also considered handsome, he was hard to sustain among the ’hostages’, eating too much, so he was directly returned.
Mama Has awkwardly said, "Right, they may come back. You need to watch over your young masters and misses carefully, don’t let them get involved."
Old Zhou looked at his remaining dozen sons and nodded with a smile, just to see what big fish they could catch.
Let’s talk about it from two sides.
Meijie leisurely drank beer, inspecting the boxes of genuine cargo, his face full of joy.
"Boss, the hostages are quite obedient and not making noise. Are we headed to Pino Island now?"
Meijie nodded, "First transport all the materials over, then contact the buyers. These Huaxia people are as stupid as pigs, didn’t even send a fleet to chase. Forget it, ignore them for now—"
"Where is Pino Island?"
While Meijie’s group was talking, suddenly a voice out of place rang out.
Meijie’s cold sweat broke out, he suddenly looked up and saw at the door a young man known as Dancing Lion Man, speaking fluent local language.
Clearly, he could be chosen as a foolish son and kidnapped here because he had some skills. Without a translator, they would be at a loss.
Meijie took out a gun, aimed it and yelled, "Damn it, didn’t you say they didn’t resist and were very obedient? How could he appear here?"
His men also drew guns immediately, "I clearly tied them up. Damn it, how did they escape?"
But it was too late to say that.
"Sorry, hands up, you’re surrounded."
Meijie felt a hard object against his head, that familiar feeling was truly—
Zhou Mengyao smiled slightly and said, "Don’t move, move again and your head will bloom. Dancing Lion Man, translate that."
Actually, there was no need for Dancing Lion Man to translate, Meijie was already stiff with fear and dared not move.
Soon, Meijie realized he might have fallen into a huge trap, a web of deception.
On the ship, all one hundred pirates were killed easily by these Huaxia people, except for the three who sailed the ship; every other pirate was killed without exception.
Meijie trembled as he saw there were only five of them, each with terrifying power, definitely not ordinary people! What kind of Devil has he robbed this time?
Are Huaxia people really as stupid and clumsy as he had seen?
