Chapter 367: Chapter 286 The Ancient Sunken Ship with Nothing Left_2 Chapter 367: Chapter 286 The Ancient Sunken Ship with Nothing Left_2 The fishing boat captain couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the words, “Young bro, you’re still a hothead, huh? We can’t do that. Even though they’re from Japan, if we go too far, we’ll still be held accountable by our own country.”

“Leave this matter to me!”

As soon as his words fell, Chu Mingcheng noticed that the speed of the fishing boat had begun to slow down, and upon realizing this, he also reduced his speed.

“Big bro, what’s this?”

“The fisheries patrol boat hasn’t arrived yet, and they just want to take people back. Let’s just leave it at that!”

The fishing boat captain had many concerns; the boat wasn’t his alone.

Fishing boats from Huaxia that venture into the open sea are mostly purchased by several fishermen together, and with so many people on board, he had to be responsible.

They were already in Huaxia’s territorial waters, and Japan actually didn’t dare to make trouble; they only requested the release of people. So, without the arrival of the domestic patrol boat and while being pursued, he ultimately did not want to escalate the situation.

Chu Mingcheng could roughly understand the captain’s concerns, so he too stopped.

Although he couldn’t help with the situation, there was a rather luxurious fishing yacht nearby, which would make the Japanese officials more cautious.

Chu Mingcheng adjusted the angle of his boat, and the lights shone directly onto the deck of the fishing boat.

Only then did he see clearly: there were seven individuals dressed in Japanese fisheries enforcement uniforms gathered at the bow, while on the other side, five Huaxia fishermen were holding spears and other weapons, confronting the Japanese officials.

Two minutes after they stopped, a Japanese vessel reached the side of the fishing boat and gradually approached.

The Japanese officials on the deck, seeing their boat approaching, seemed very excited; it was unclear what they had suffered on the fishing boat.

Chu Mingcheng curiously picked up his binoculars for a closer look and noticed, huh, two of them had wet pants. Were they scared into wetting themselves?

Once the Japanese boat had picked up their own people, they immediately left.

It was clear that knowing they were in Huaxia’s territorial waters, if they encountered a patrol boat, they would be “escorted” away.

At that moment, the fishing boat captain’s voice rang out again.

“Young bro, your boat can go to international waters, right? You might want to avoid going there for a bit; after this incident, Japan might deploy their Self-Defense Forces.”

“Those Self-Defense Forces have weapons and are not as easy to bully as these minor officials.”

Chu Mingcheng raised an eyebrow, “Thanks for the heads-up, big bro. If it weren’t for you, I’d have really been planning to go fishing in the Public Sea.”

“No worries, to be honest, this incident was sparked by me. By the way, since you’re going fishing, let me give you some coordinates. Check out the reef area over there, you should be able to catch quite a lot of good stuff.”

With that, the fishing boat captain gave Chu Mingcheng a set of coordinates, which he jotted down hastily.

“Young bro, I’ll be taking off first. I need to refuel from a tanker and then report today’s events to the patrol boat. Having those Japanese officials on board for ten hours has exhausted me.”

Chu Mingcheng was taken aback; they had toured for ten hours, no wonder some of the Japanese officials ended up wetting themselves.

It turned out that it wasn’t from being scared, but from being unable to hold it in. One could only say well done.

However, ten hours later and the domestic patrol boat still hadn’t shown up–what slow efficiency!

Regarding this, Chu Mingcheng clearly misunderstood something.

At the beginning in the Public Sea, the fishing boat captain did not call the domestic fisheries authority.

He frequently fished in international waters and had a lot of experience dealing with the Japanese.

At first, when Japan attempted to drive him away, he completely ignored them and kept on fishing.

Lacking the means to force them off, Japan had to arrange for officers to board the boat and detain them; that’s what they usually did.

But they met a tough guy this time. No sooner had their people boarded the boat than the captain immediately took off with the trawl net.

Some of the fishermen on board armed themselves for protection, while others continued to work.

The Japanese vessel, because their people were on the fishing boat, didn’t dare to take new actions. Besides, with the fishing boat speeding up, they were unable to dispatch more people to board.

After stalling for several hours like this, the fishing boat captain estimated that Japan would send new vessels, so he changed course toward the territorial waters and contacted domestic fisheries enforcement.

The territorial waters were vast and the patrolling boats scarce, not to mention the distance was significant. Thus, they had not arrived even by the time they encountered Chu Mingcheng’s boat.

Chu Mingcheng looked at the coordinates given by the fishing boat captain and set the destination in his navigation; then he realized it was just over thirteen nautical miles away, and he could get there in an hour.

And this area was exactly where the Eastern Sea Bass were found on the map–quite the coincidence.

Chu Mingcheng immediately switched to cruise mode and headed there, arriving at the destination in just over fifty minutes.

The Eastern Sea Bass is a deep-sea fish usually found at depths around one hundred meters and prefers areas with reefs.

This fish could theoretically grow to one meter, but the largest size on record is still not specific.

The biological community hasn’t conducted much research on the Eastern Sea Bass, with scarcely any research reports available; it’s unclear why.

However, with his extensive fishing experience, Chu Mingcheng could estimate the approximate weight by looking at the pictures of the Eastern Sea Bass.

Its actual size is similar to the sea bass but a bit fatter, so a one-meter-long Eastern Sea Bass would roughly weigh between ten to twenty pounds more.

After arriving at his destination, Chu Mingcheng did not stop but continued to search for the right fishing spot.

It was only after another ten or so minutes that he settled in a water area over one hundred and twenty meters deep.
