Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7438
On the dark and calm sea, a research vessel flying the Japanese flag sailed steadily.
Before the Roaring Forties, the seas were relatively calm. Both large and small ships could see each other using their ship’s radar. Within a radius of several kilometers, there were only two ships, one large and one small.
This Japanese research vessel is Wu Bolin’s target this time.
Even with his powers, he couldn’t traverse the entire Roaring Forties alone, so he needed to find a research vessel to hitch a ride on, preferably to find a place to live in Antarctica.
Of the research vessels that have departed from Ushuaia recently, only the Japanese vessel is from East Asia.
Although Wu Bolin hadn’t seen a Japanese person since the First Sino-Japanese War, he knew that since both were from East Asia, there weren’t many physical differences between Chinese and Japanese people. Therefore, blending in with the Japanese research team was the best option for him at the moment.
As the two ships approached, Wu Bolin prepared to board the ship by treading water as they approached. However, when the other ship detected their approach on its radar, it changed course and prepared to circle the other ship at a safe distance. Seeing this, Wu Bolin immediately ordered Wu Siyuan to send a distress signal to the other ship via the intercom system.
Wu Siyuan shouted through the intercom in fluent English: “Help! Help! This is ARG7717. Our ship has lost power, is damaged, is taking on water, and is about to sink. Requesting assistance from JRC5990!”
At that moment, on the Japanese research vessel with IMO number JRC5990, the officer on duty immediately contacted the captain by radio: “Captain Sato, we have received a distress call from a vessel with IMO number ARG7717. The vessel is approximately five nautical miles from us. The vessel is damaged and is about to sink. We request instructions.”
A deep voice came through the walkie-talkie: “Ignore him, move forward at full speed! We have no time to waste on that Argentinian ship. Let them contact the Argentinian maritime rescue department!”
The driver on duty immediately said spontaneously, “But the other side is about to sink…”
The captain replied coldly, “Fool! So what if we sink? We’ve traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to get here to carry out Japan’s noble mission of Antarctic scientific research, not to rescue Argentinian fishermen. Their lives are none of our concern! Keep moving forward!”
The driver on duty had no choice but to respectfully reply, “Yes, Captain Sato! I understand!”
Inside the fishing boat, Wu Siyuan watched the enemy on the radar getting farther and faster. His face flushed as he exclaimed, “Damn it, instead of coming to our rescue, this Japanese research vessel is speeding up and taking a detour!”
“Damn it!” Wu Bolin cursed angrily, “Didn’t you say people are getting kinder these days? And there’s a spirit of international humanitarianism, how can there still be people who refuse to help those in need?! What kind of humanity is this?”
Wu Siyuan was also very frustrated.
It was he who gave Wu Bolin this idea, because he thought that since Wu Bolin could use his spiritual energy to control others’ minds, as long as he could lure the Japanese research ship over, he could leave the rest to Wu Bolin. But who would have thought that not only did the Japanese ship not arrive, but instead accelerated its escape, which was simply too unethical.
Feeling helpless, he said embarrassedly, “Sorry, Elder, I underestimated their character. Why don’t we wait a little longer? There’s another research ship leaving tonight, from Canada.”
Wu Bolin also lost his patience, gritted his teeth and said, “No way! I can’t swallow this! Go ahead and chase him!”
Seeing Wu Bolin’s firm attitude, Wu Siyuan swallowed his persuasive words and turned to the boatman, saying, “Hurry up and chase!”
The Wu Siyuan fishing vessel is not as simple as it seems. Its hull and propulsion systems have been significantly upgraded. If it really picks up speed, it can easily catch up with a 10,000-ton vessel.
Then the fishing boat immediately accelerated its speed and chased the Japanese research ship.
When they were less than a kilometer from the research vessel, Wu Bolin looked out the stern and felt the impact of the waves on the fishing boat. He said to Wu Siyuan, “Okay, you guys go back. I’ll board the ship myself.”
Wu Siyuan immediately said, “Elder, this ship is full of Japanese people. You don’t speak Japanese or English, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to communicate!”
Wu Bolin snorted coldly and said, “I don’t believe that an entire ship full of so-called Japanese scientific research experts can’t find a single one who can speak Mandarin. If they really can’t, I’ll sink their ship and wait for the Canadian ship!”
Wu Siyuan asked, “Elder, should we wait here first?”
“That method works,” Wu Bolin said. “You can stay far away and wait there. If you find the ship sinking within an hour, you can come over to pick me up. If the ship hasn’t sunk, then I’ve found someone who can speak Mandarin, and you can come back.”
Wu Siyuan nodded and said, “Okay, Elder, I obey!”
Wu Bolin gently smoothed his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, lightly touched the deck with the tip of his foot, and was already floating in the air.
Just before landing, he gathered his spiritual energy beneath his feet, creating an invisible barrier between them and the sea surface. Then, his body moved across the sea with incredible speed and silence, far faster than a ship.
As he hurried toward the research vessel, he tapped his toes lightly again, and he soared through the air, rising nearly a hundred meters. In a parabolic trajectory, he landed directly in front of the cockpit of the Japanese research vessel.
The crew didn’t notice anything unusual at the time. Because the fishing boat was following them but not too close, it didn’t trigger any radar alarms.
The driver on duty was only concerned with getting into the Roaring Forties before the next storm arrived, thus avoiding the increased risk when it arrived. Therefore, he focused his full attention on the route ahead. Furthermore, there had never been any pirates in this area, so he wasn’t feeling the slightest bit wary.
As he and his crew steered the ship at full speed, they were completely unaware that a figure had appeared on board outside the control room.
While everyone was busy with their respective tasks, the door to the control room suddenly opened, and a figure stood in the doorway with a cold and somewhat fierce expression.
The crew in the control room were shocked by the sudden appearance of the stranger.
The ship departed from Japan over a month ago. Some of the crew were ship crew members, and others were members of the scientific expedition team. Although the two groups didn’t know each other previously, they had become close over the past month. It was highly unlikely that a stranger would suddenly appear.
But in this vast ocean, who else could there be besides the people on their own ships?
The driver instinctively asked in Japanese, “Anada…”
Before the Japanese man could finish speaking, Wu Bolin glared at the crowd and said coldly, “Who can speak Mandarin? Come out and speak!”
As soon as he said that, the eyes of the dozen or so people present froze for a moment.
For Wu Bolin, calming these people down only required one thought.
However, calming others does not mean controlling them. Only those who can understand His commands will obey Him and be controlled by Him. Those who cannot understand His commands are now as if they have lost consciousness and can only stand still.
Shortly afterward, a young man emerged from among those detained. He took a few steps forward, stood in front of Wu Bolin, and said in fluent Mandarin, “I can speak Mandarin. I studied at a university in China.”
Wu Bolin nodded in satisfaction and asked him, “What is your name?”
The other person respectfully replied, “My name is Matsushita Heikichi.”
Wu Bolin waved his hand dismissively: “What Matsushita and Matsushita? From now on, you are just an errand boy. Do whatever I say, and call me ‘this humble one,’ understand?”
Matsushita Heikichi immediately replied obediently, “I follow your orders.”
Wu Bolin snorted and asked him, “Hey, you henchman, how many people are on your ship?”
Matsushita Heikichi said, “There are 26 crew members on board, as well as 22 members of the scientific expedition team.”
Wu Bolin frowned and asked, “Just now someone was shouting for help from the fishing boat, why didn’t you help?”
Matsushita Heikichi quickly replied, “It’s not that I don’t want to help, but the captain ordered us to go at full speed, and I had no choice but to obey.”
“Captain…” Wu Bolin snorted coldly, then opened his right hand, and a powerful spiritual energy spread out from his palm, invisibly surrounding the entire research ship.
At that moment, he completely captivated the attention of everyone on the ship.
Then, he looked at Matsushita Heikichi and said coldly, “Now you can shout in Japanese and make everyone on the ship obey your orders and follow your directions!”
Matsushita Heikichi immediately complied, picked up the microphone on the walkie-talkie, switched the channel to the ship-wide broadcast, and uttered a series of words in Japanese, the gist of which was that everyone must strictly obey his orders from now on.
After finishing speaking, Wu Bolin added, “Tell everyone to carry out their work as usual, and maintain contact with the outside world as usual, without revealing any clues.”
These people were like robots waiting for orders, waiting only for them to be given, and then instinctively obeying them. So when Matsushita Heikichi gave them an order in Japanese, everyone immediately went back to their work, as if nothing had happened. However, once Matsushita Heikichi gave an order, they would do their best to carry it out.
Matsushita Heikichi only follows Wu Bolin’s orders, so Wu Bolin can control everyone at will just by using Matsushita Heikichi’s Mandarin and Japanese language skills.
Immediately afterwards, he said to Matsushita Heikichi, “Men, use the walkie-talkie to call your captain here!”
Matsushita Heikichi bowed respectfully, then immediately took his microphone and gave orders to the captain.
Not long after, the gray-haired captain rushed closer.
After seeing him enter, Matsushita Heikichi said to Wu Bolin, “This is our captain.”
Wu Bolin stared at him with sharp eyes, originally wanting to smash him to dust with one punch, but then he thought that since this person was a captain, his professional skills must be top-notch, and he would need these people to do various things for him in the future, so he couldn’t kill the most senior and experienced captain.
However, remembering how that bastard had just “failed to save me,” Wu Bolin still felt a little annoyed. So he coldly said to Matsushita Heikichi, “Have that bastard take off his clothes and stand at the bow of the ship as punishment!”
