Power and wealth bring fragrance

The group of six climbed up the rope ladder and onto the deck of the sea patrol ship.

As soon as their feet touched the thick, non-slip steel plate, several coast guard officers on guard immediately surrounded them.

With a flash of cold light, a pair of silver metal handcuffs clicked shut, firmly locking onto the middle-aged fisherman's wrists.

Another coast guard officer aimed his gun steadily at Wei Yuan's chest, his knuckles taut, and shouted sternly.

"Let go of that person! Put your hands behind your head, behind your back. If you make any sudden movement, I'll shoot immediately!"

The sea breeze, carrying a strong fishy smell, pounded against the deck. Wei Yuan glanced down at the other man's tense face, then loosened his grip, slamming the unconscious gray-clad man heavily onto the cold steel plate.

The man in gray groaned, still unconscious and motionless.

Facing the coast guard's gun barrels and cold, stern faces, Wei Yuan spoke calmly.

"This person is a key suspect in the bombing and helicopter crash cases that the police department is investigating. Explaining my identity to you is pointless. If you don't believe me, call Deputy Chief Wu Chao of the police department directly to verify."

With just a simple sentence, the entire deck fell into a deathly silence.

The three coast guards who had just climbed up the rope ladder suddenly had their pupils shrink, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets, their faces filled with disbelief.

As they belong to the same joint defense system, how could they not know the reason for this temporary martial law?

It was that heinous crime that shook the entire Deepsea City—the attack and explosion of the police station building, the crash of a helicopter in the city center, and the resulting panic throughout the city—that led them to be ordered to patrol the sea and intercept suspicious vessels.

However, they were just going through the motions and didn't really expect to run into the criminals.

After all, criminals who dare to commit such crimes must have had a meticulous plan. So much time has passed since the incident, who knows where they've gone? Why would they come to such a remote sea area that they patrol?

But who could have predicted that such a huge windfall would fall into their laps?

In an instant, the astonishment on the three people's faces quickly faded, replaced by an undisguised fervor and ecstasy, and they almost cried out in surprise on the spot.

However, the rationality honed by years of duty remained in his heart, and the ecstasy did not cloud his judgment.

This is merely Wei Yuan's side of the story, without any supporting evidence.

If Wei Yuan is lying, the consequences would be unimaginable. We must first contact our superiors to verify the truth.

But if this is true, then the credit is incredibly heavy.

The credit undoubtedly goes to Wei Yuan, but the others also made a real contribution by intercepting the suspect on the spot.

Under the principle of rewarding merit, it is not uncommon for ordinary coast guard officers to be promoted three ranks at once, directly entering the middle management level, and their future prospects will soar.

The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, their hearts almost bursting with fervor.

One of the coast guards couldn't contain his excitement and turned to rush towards the command center, a smile playing on his lips.

"I'll immediately inform the captain and contact the police headquarters to verify the situation!"

However, before his voice had completely faded, a sudden change occurred.

"Slap slap slap!!"

Suddenly, a violent burst of gunfire erupted on the deck!

A burst of scarlet blood suddenly erupted from the back of the outspoken coast guard, the warm blood quickly seeping into a large patch of dark crimson fabric.

His body stiffened abruptly, and before he could even scream, his massive frame crashed heavily onto the deck with a dull thud.

Almost at the same instant, two other coast guard officers who had just climbed ashore also groaned and fell to the ground.

The two still had the excited look on their faces from when they were fantasizing about promotion and soaring to the sky, their eyes wide open, but their vitality had completely dissipated.

Blood flowed slowly through the gaps in the steel plates, mixing with the splashing seawater, spreading a glaring dark red across the deck.

The change came too suddenly and unexpectedly.

The remaining coast guards on deck were instantly stunned, their minds blank. The deck, which had just been filled with hope and ecstasy, had become a scene of slaughter in the blink of an eye.

Wei Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted, his internal martial energy surged forth without reservation, his muscles tensed instantly, and his gaze swept across every corner of the coast guard ship like a sharp blade, finally locking onto the middle-aged fisherman's back.

The gunshots did not come from the direction of the fishing boat, but from the coast guard vessel itself!

That's it!

No wonder this guy didn't run away when he was cornered by the coast guard; it turns out his backup plan was on this coast guard ship!

They had already planted spies on this coast guard vessel, which is why they dared to so brazenly take a fishing boat out to sea without fear of being stopped by the coast guard, because those were their own people!

The middle-aged fisherman, who was handcuffed, slowly raised his head. Under his fisherman's hat, his dark, ordinary face remained expressionless, as calm as a deep pool, as if the bloody massacre had never happened.

While Wei Yuan was on guard, the strange changes continued.

"Splash!"

Half of the coast guards who were originally on guard around the deck with guns turned their guns around, no longer pointing them at Wei Yuan and the fisherman, but at their other colleagues who had not yet reacted.

The officers on duty on the coast guard vessel turned pale, staring in disbelief at their colleagues who usually joked and played around with them.

"you……"

"Bang!"

Before the question could be uttered, another muffled gunshot rang out.

Two bewildered coast guards collapsed to the ground, while the remaining regular coast guards, unaware of the situation, hurriedly tried to raise their guns to fight back.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two more gunshots rang out, and two people fell to the ground.

In just a few seconds, the situation on the coast guard ship's deck was completely reversed.

Wei Yuan stood motionless, his eyes glancing at the three corpses lying in a pool of blood, a chill running through him.

No wonder the middle-aged fisherman was completely obedient and did not resist at all.

He never expected to escape by fishing boat from the beginning.

Their backup was already lying in wait on the coast guard ship that came to arrest them.

Judging from their unbridled actions, it seems the entire coast guard vessel is now under their control.

These coast guards who died tragically were probably the only real coast guards left on the ship who were completely unaware of the mysterious organization's infiltration.

The rest are likely members of a mysterious organization disguised as coast guard officers!

This mysterious organization has even infiltrated the coast guard and unknowingly taken control of a coast guard vessel!

This energy made Wei Yuan secretly startled!

The howling sea breeze swept away the smoke of battle, but it couldn't carry away the rising, thick smell of blood.

The fake coast guards, disguised as coast guards, indifferently began examining the bodies with their guns. Any real coast guards who still had a breath left would be shot without hesitation and killed instantly.

Two fake coast guards stepped forward, dragged the unconscious man in gray to the side, took out a syringe, and quickly injected the clear liquid inside the syringe into the man's body.

At that moment, a steady sound of footsteps echoed down the deck.
