Although skeptical, Lan Haixin still relayed Ye Wudao's words to the special forces team, who, like Lan Haixin, had seen no trace of pirates and wondered if Ye Wudao had been mistaken.
But not long after, they spotted a dozen black dots on the horizon, and Zhong Guoping picked up his binoculars to take a look. Based on his past experience, there was an eighty percent chance they were pirates.
Zhong Guoping immediately had the special forces on alert and instructed Lan Haixin to inform the captain. True enough, within ten minutes, they saw more than ten modified speedboats and fishing boats appear within their range of vision.
The escort ship immediately issued a warning to the pirates to leave, but since they were pirates, they obviously would not obediently do so. The escort ship they dared not provoke, but merchant ships they had no such scruples about.
