Chapter 56 One net, catching a listed company!
"I refuse to accept this! I was framed!"
Zhao Deding twisted his body like a madman, screaming at the countless flashes and cameras around him.
"He's the pirate! That Poseidon was a foreign research vessel, and he stole it! Look at him, how could a poor fisherman like him afford a ship like that! This is a crime! This is an international dispute!"
Several young reporters indeed showed interest, and their cameras were all pointed at the massive hull of the Poseidon.
The murmurs on the dock started again.
Lin Chen didn't even lift his eyelids.
He looked at Zhao Deding.
"Mr. Zhao, hiring someone to commit murder is just an appetizer; you'll get tired of it if you eat too much of it."
Lin Chen's voice was calm, yet it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
He paused, then slowly uttered the second half of his sentence.
"How do you explain the 500 kilograms of ivory that your refrigerated cargo ship brought back from Argentina with its imported red shrimp?"
ivory.
Upon hearing those two words, Zhao Deding's mind went completely blank.
The madness and screams on his face froze the moment he heard the word "ivory".
The pupils in those bloodshot eyes suddenly contracted.
He seemed to have all his strength drained away; if he hadn't been supported by two policemen, he would have collapsed to the ground immediately.
"You...you're talking nonsense..."
His lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
How could Lin Chen possibly know about the Night Owl Plan, which he believed to be foolproof and known only to a handful of his confidants?
Officer Wang's expression changed.
He turned around abruptly and stared intently at Zhao Deding.
"Gag him! Take him away! Now!"
This is no longer a case he can handle; it must be reported immediately.
Just then, a commotion broke out at the entrance to the dock.
The crowd automatically parted to both sides, and a black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove up and stopped outside the police line.
The car door opened, and Tang Mingyuan, the purchasing director of Yunhaige, quickly got out of the car and respectfully opened the back door.
A middle-aged man dressed in a traditional Chinese Tang suit with frog buttons, looking quite energetic, walked down the stairs.
It was Chu Tiankuo, the owner of Yunhai Pavilion.
"Boss Chu...Boss Chu?"
A sharp-eyed reporter recognized the bigwig from the provincial capital, and his voice began to tremble.
Why would he come to such a small dock?
Chu Tiankuo ignored everyone, walked straight through the crowd, and stood in front of Lin Chen.
He glanced at Zhao Deding, who was being escorted by the police and whose face was ashen, then burst into laughter and patted Lin Chen's shoulder heavily.
"Brother Lin, you really know how to surprise me!"
He turned around, faced all the cameras, and announced loudly.
"Let me introduce you all. This is Mr. Lin Chen, our most important partner at Yunhai Pavilion, and a hero who assisted the police in cracking down on a maritime criminal gang!"
"From today onwards, Yunhai Pavilion hopes to jointly establish a new company with Mr. Lin to fully develop deep-sea resources!"
The sound of reporters' camera shutters filled the air as they tried to capture every single word.
Upon hearing these words, Zhao Deding's last bit of spirit vanished, and he slumped down, his head hanging limply.
He knew he was finished.
"Bring him onto the ship!"
Officer Wang waved to his subordinates behind him.
Soon, a bound man was dragged off the Poseidon by Sun Heizi.
It was Vulture, the mercenary leader.
Vulture was dragged in front of Zhao Deding, and Sun Heizi ripped the cloth out of his mouth.
"Tell me, who hired you?"
Officer Wang asked sternly.
Vulture glanced at Zhao Deding, whose face was ashen, and then at Lin Chen, who stood not far away with an expressionless face, and shuddered.
He raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Deding.
"It's...it's him! It's him! He gave me two million to sink Mr. Lin Chen and his ship forever in the Dragon's Back Trench!"
Zhao Deding was put into a police car.
The sirens faded into the distance, and the commotion at the dock finally subsided.
Lin Chen nodded slightly to Lin Jianguo behind him.
Lin Jianguo walked onto the deck of the Pioneer and ripped open the huge canvas.
A strange fragrance instantly filled the entire dock.
The aroma, with its sweetness and the salty tang of the ocean, instantly overpowered the fishy and diesel smells of the dock.
Everyone was drawn in by the smell and involuntarily held their breath.
Beneath the canvas, over a hundred kilograms of ambergris lay quietly on the deck.
They come in various shapes and sizes, and under the morning light, the oil seeping from their surfaces reflects an amber-like luster.
"Quick! Get on the scale!"
Tang Mingyuan was the first to come to his senses. He rushed to the side of the boat, his voice trembling violently with excitement.
Several crew members hurriedly carried pieces of ambergris onto the prepared industrial scale.
Tang Mingyuan personally stared at the numbers on the screen, adding them up one by one, and then announced the result in a tearful tone.
"Total...totaling one hundred and thirty-two jin! Sixty-six kilograms!"
"They're all top-quality, vein-grade ambergris."
He suddenly raised his head, grabbed Lin Chen's arm, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Lin Chen! You...you've pulled out the entire year's cash flow of a listed company with this one move."
Yiwang, a listed company.
Standing on the boat, Lin Jianguo looked at his son surrounded by the crowd, and at the fawning smiles on the faces of those big bosses. His eyes welled up with tears, and he finally couldn't hold them back, and they streamed down his face.
he knows.
From this day forward, the Lin family will no longer be the fishermen who can be bullied by others.
Lin Chen simply watched all of this calmly.
He cast his gaze upon the sea, which had just been tinged golden by the rising sun.
