Power and wealth bring fragrance

Shenhai City, a coastal fishing village.

A gray sedan stopped.

The driver remained seated, unmoved. Wei Yuan, too lazy to waste words with a death squad member, grabbed the man in gray and got out of the car, looking at the chaotic beach and the vast sea before him.

After the electronic warning sounded, the driver stopped circling around and turned the car around to take him directly to the small fishing village.

Fortunately, the detective bureau had just issued a temporary martial law order, and it would take some time for lower-level detectives to respond and complete the full martial law.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the driver led Wei Yuan to the small fishing village without any incident.

Shenhai City is a coastal city. Its terrain is surrounded by water on the east, south, and north sides. Only on the west side, there are towering peaks that rise up and lean against the West Mountain, creating a feng shui treasure land that is nestled against the mountains and by the water, where the wind gathers and energy is concentrated.

As for the east, south, and north sides, the water is deep in the east, which has been used to build a deep-water port that can accommodate large ships and is also the busiest trading area in Shenhai City.

To the south lies the ocean, bathed in sunshine, with fine sand and turquoise waves, making it a natural seascape paradise. It has become the location for many wealthy families' mansions and top-tier hotels, as well as a vacation destination.

The water quality is worst in the north, so large docks cannot be built there. There are only a few scattered small docks, where many fishermen live and make a living by fishing in small boats.

The small fishing village that the driver brought Wei Yuan to was clearly the most remote of all fishing villages.

As far as Wei Yuan could see, the scattered dilapidated houses had been uninhabited for a long time, clearly indicating that the place had long been abandoned.

However, it is precisely in such a remote place that the nameless organization's requirements are more in line with them.

Wei Yuan looked around but didn't see anyone. However, he did see a small boat moored on a small dock on the shore, gently bobbing with the waves.

Wei Yuan grabbed the man in gray and walked straight toward the small dock.

As I approached the small fishing boat, sure enough, a middle-aged fisherman was squatting and smoking on the bow, which was hidden by the cabin.

Hearing footsteps, the fisherman turned around indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the man in gray before finally settling on Wei Yuan's face.

"They're here."

The fisherman said something casually and tossed away his cigarette butt.

"Get on the ship."

Wei Yuan glanced at the fisherman for three seconds, then grabbed the man in gray and jumped onto the fishing boat. Instantly, a strong fishy smell wafted over, but it did not move Wei Yuan in the slightest.

The middle-aged fisherman also got up and untied the rope tied to the dock. Without the restraint, the small fishing boat immediately began to drift away from the dock under the scouring of the waves.

The fisherman immediately started the engine, and with a loud clatter, he steered the fishing boat toward the vast ocean.

Behind them, in the gray sedan, the driver, equally indifferent, pulled out a pistol and shot himself in the forehead.

"Bang!"

A sharp sound startled four or five birds into flight.

On the fishing boat, Wei Yuan heard a faint gunshot, but he didn't bother to turn around. He sat cross-legged, staring intently at the middle-aged fisherman's back.

The man in gray had already been knocked unconscious and thrown at his feet.

Now that we're here, the man in gray isn't that useful anymore.

Like the previous drivers, the middle-aged fisherman focused intently on steering the boat without looking back. Before long, the fishing village and coastline disappeared from sight as the boat ventured deep into the ocean.

"Da da da da da".

For a moment, the only sounds in the world besides the sound of the waves were the monotonous engine noise.

A boat, three people, drifting silently on the sea.

Time passed, and after Wei Yuan silently counted to 1200 seconds, there was finally some movement on the monotonous sea.

"Beep beep!"

Some police sirens drifted over from afar. Wei Yuan turned his head and saw a coast guard ship with the police bureau's markings sailing towards them on the sea not far away.

The sound of a loudspeaker could be faintly heard.

"Ships ahead... martial law... halt... inspection..."

The coast guard vessel was naturally much faster than their dilapidated fishing boat. After more than ten minutes, the coast guard vessel had caught up to within twenty meters, and the sound from the loudspeaker could finally be heard clearly.

"Vessels ahead, in accordance with the martial law order, please stop immediately for inspection!"

Then the monotonous, repetitive sound suddenly stopped, and a cold voice rang out.

"Vessel ahead, please immediately shut off your engines and wait in place for boarding inspection!"

"Any resistance will be met with consequences!"

Hearing the cold warning, Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the middle-aged fisherman's back.

It was obvious that the middle-aged fisherman was the messenger who led him to meet the mastermind behind it all.

Unfortunately, they are now blocked by the coast guard. If their identities are discovered, this guy will have nowhere to run and will be caught red-handed!

This is going to be interesting.

After circling around Deepsea City and bypassing the surveillance cameras, getting on the ship was equivalent to escaping the police bureau's martial law in the city.

Unfortunately, they were blocked by the coast guard.

In the vast ocean, a place neither above nor below the sea, even if one wanted to escape, there was no way to escape unless one plunged headfirst into the sea.

According to Wei Yuan's estimate, this place is already more than ten kilometers away from the sea. Jumping in here and trying to swim back is simply a pipe dream.

Aside from martial artists like Wei Yuan who possess martial prowess, let alone ordinary people, even highly trained professionals simply wouldn't have the ability to swim back.

So if you get cornered by the coast guard here, you're truly trapped with nowhere to turn and have no choice but to surrender.

This is certainly a good thing for Wei Yuan.

He genuinely helps the detective agency; even if the coast guard questions him, he only needs to contact the detective agency to prove his identity.

However, the fisherman couldn't escape and had no choice but to surrender.

Even if this fisherman is a death-defying figure, he won't say a word, but if he really falls into the hands of the police, the police will definitely have a way to find some clues, and maybe even connect it to that mysterious organization.

If they actually manage to find a clue, given the detective agency's current hatred for the mysterious organization, they will definitely use every means to dig them out.

At that time, this mysterious organization will be in a very difficult situation.

Wei Yuan unconsciously sat up straight, his martial energy circulating within him, his eyes fixed on the middle-aged fisherman's back, ready to make his move.

Given the methods that mysterious organization had just demonstrated, Wei Yuan didn't believe they hadn't anticipated this situation.

They might have some hidden methods, or they might simply be having lookouts watching him, ready to silence the middle-aged fisherman at any time to prevent him from falling into the hands of the police.

What Wei Yuan needs to do is to strike before the other party is about to make a move, thus stopping their actions!

However, just as Wei Yuan was keeping a close eye on the fisherman, listening to all sides and ready to react at any moment, the fisherman's actions took him by surprise.
