Fishermen's live stream: Twelve bodies were retrieved at the start.

Leading the group was a large coast guard vessel painted entirely in white with its hull number clearly visible.

Following behind the coast guard vessel were several smaller coast guard patrol boats.

And to the side and rear of this coast guard formation.

A much larger, more streamlined, and powerful gray warship is cutting through the waves!

Its highly recognizable shape, the bright red flag fluttering on the mast...

It's a Type 054A guided-missile frigate of the Chinese Navy!

The moment they saw the fleet, all the crew members on Lin Mo's ship erupted in a thunderous cheer!

"Holy crap! It's here!"

"It's our coast guard vessel!"

"That one behind... my god! It's a warship! It's a Type 054A!"

"We're safe! We're safe!"

"Those sons of bitches, let's see how arrogant they are now!"

In stark contrast, there was a deathly silence on Henry's ship.

The American sailors who had been so arrogant just moments before were now ashen-faced, their eyes filled with despair and fear.

They knew it was all over.

Soon, the coast guard vessel approached and surrounded both ships in an encirclement maneuver.

A familiar figure appeared on the deck of the coast guard ship, shouting into a loudspeaker.

"Lin Mo! Are you alright, kid?"

It's Jiang Ran.

She was dressed in a smart uniform, looking very capable, but her tone carried an undisguised concern.

Lin Mo picked up the walkie-talkie and responded with a smile.

"Captain Jiang, what could be wrong with me?"

"It's just to invite a few foreign friends to come to our Dragon Country's territorial waters, have some tea, and chat."

The viewers in the live stream went wild when they saw this.

Holy crap! This is incredible! It's so damn cool!

What model is that gray warship? Can anyone tell me?

[That's a Type 054A frigate! Our navy's mainstay corvette! A true national weapon!]

[Tears welling up! Is this the sense of security our Dragon Kingdom provides? I love it!]

[Mo Shen is awesome! He even managed to get the Navy to come! This move is absolutely divine!]

Just then, the Type 054A frigate slowly approached.

A man wearing a naval officer's uniform with the rank of field officer on his shoulders.

Standing on the bridge, they contacted Lin Mo's fishing boat via military channels.

"Excuse me, are you Captain Lin Mo?"

The man's voice was steady and powerful.

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then quickly had the first mate connect the channel.

"I am Lin Mo, and you are?"

"I am Yang Chenglong, captain of the 577 frigate of the South China Sea Fleet."

Yang Chenglong!

Upon hearing this name, the veteran crew members around Lin Mo gasped, their faces showing expressions of flattery and surprise.

This is a very famous figure in the Navy!

"Captain Yang, hello!" Lin Mo replied politely immediately.

Yang Chenglong's tone was clearly appreciative.

"Comrade Lin Mo, I have long heard of your deeds."

"Well done this time!"

"We've been looking for a reason to take down these sneaky guys, but they're too cunning and never give us a chance."

"This time, you not only lured them into our territorial waters, but you also left behind video evidence of their threats with guns."

Yang Chenglong paused, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"You have created the most perfect and plausible reason for us to catch them red-handed."

"On behalf of the South China Sea Fleet, thank you!"

Lin Mo quickly replied, "Captain Yang, you flatter us. Protecting our country is everyone's responsibility."

"I'm just an ordinary fisherman who did what I was supposed to do."

After the conversation, the crew members around Lin Mo all straightened their chests, their faces filled with pride.

Picking up the walkie-talkie again, the channel had been switched back to communication with the coast guard vessel.

"Captain Jiang, you can take the person away. I have no objection."

Lin Mo's tone became much more relaxed, even carrying a hint of joking.

"But I have a question... Do I need to hand over the $200,000 that Henry paid me?"

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Jiang Ran was clearly taken aback by his question, and then chuckled and scolded him in an annoyed tone.

"Hey kid, what time is it? Still thinking about your little bit of money?"

"Don't worry! That's compensation from the Americans for your emotional distress and for the ship's repairs."

"This is the legal compensation you deserve; no one will take it from you!"

"But I'm warning you, don't do anything so dangerous again! You got lucky this time, but what about next time?"

Although Jiang Ran's tone was stern, her undisguised concern warmed Lin Mo's heart.

"I know, I know, I'm just trying to create opportunities for you guys." Lin Mo chuckled.

"Alright, stop being so cheeky."

Jiang Ran changed the subject and became serious.

"By the way, we need to take those guns and that mortar you salvaged from the seabed with us."

"These things have too much firepower; leave them on your fishing boat."

"It remains a huge safety hazard. If something else goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility."

Jiang Ran's decision was reasonable, and Lin Mo naturally wouldn't object.

"No problem, you can send someone to pick it up anytime." Lin Mo readily agreed.

"but……"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Siyu, who had been listening intently, suddenly leaned over and snatched the walkie-talkie.

"Besides guns and cannons, there's something else!"

"What else?" Jiang Ran asked, somewhat puzzled.

"An underwater detector!"

Lin Siyu said confidently.

"It was all secretly set up by those Americans, but my brother managed to get them all out!"

"We need to take these with us; they're useless here!"

Jiang Ran was silent for a few seconds on the other end, then laughed.

"You're quite clever, aren't you? Alright, we'll take them all back and dispose of them."

"That's great!"

Lin Siyu immediately beamed with joy, but her next words revealed her true nature as a "little money-grubber".

"Sister Jiang Ran, let me be clear from the start, these are all high-tech gadgets, and they're quite valuable."

"It wasn't easy for us to pull this out, so if you're buying it back, you have to settle accounts with us at market price!"

She waved a small notebook in her hand, which was filled with densely written notes.

"Even between brothers, accounts must be kept clear. We can't offer discounts to acquaintances! My brother supports this whole family; it's not easy for him!"

These words left Lin Mo speechless, and the crew members around him were also trying not to laugh.

Jiang Ran was amused on the other end of the line.

"Okay, okay, you little busybody!"

"You won't be shortchanged! Send me the list and account details later, and I promise you won't be shortchanged a single penny!"

"That's good!"

Lin Siyu returned the walkie-talkie to Lin Mo with satisfaction.

Having explained everything, Lin Mo was about to end the call when he suddenly remembered something.

He glanced at Su Wanzheng, who was quietly watching the sea not far away.

"Oh, right, Captain Jiang, there's something else."

"On your return voyage, could you please bring Miss Su back to shore as well?"

"After all, she's been missing for so long, her family must be very worried."
