Angkor looked over one by one with a threatening look on his face, "What about you?"

Lu Ao said: "It's sultry down here, let's enjoy the coolness here."

Others nodded in agreement.

One of the team members whispered: "We just enjoy the cool weather and don't do anything. Why are you so mean?"

A group of people refused to give in and insisted on sitting here. Angkor could not do anything to them, so he just watched them from the side.

Soon someone called the boat boss.

The boss of the ship looked at this scene, then looked at the firm expressions of Xiang Xingchang and the others, and combined with the satellite phone call in the afternoon, he understood something in his heart. During the mediation, he kept arguing, asking both parties to take a step back.

Naturally, both sides refused to retreat.

Angkor had no choice but to lead his men to a stalemate with them.

The scientific researchers were operating the instruments nervously and had no time to pay attention to them.

The sky darkened little by little, and soon, the fiery red sunset completely fell into the distant sea, and the fiery clouds above gradually receded, replaced by the starry sky.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the sky had completely turned into a night sky. Jin operated the submersible and slowly surfaced.

There was a burst of cheers from the scientific researchers, and they all went over to respond.

Angkor also hurried down to help and directed the boatmen to use a crane to lift the submersible up.

The divers came over to take a look, but were quickly chased away.

The researchers were very happy.

Everyone on board knew that they would gain something.

Xiang Xingchang stood on the deck and watched coldly.

Jin got out of the cab with the help of his assistant and looked towards Lu Ao and the others from a distance, and they looked at each other.

The female researcher next to him lowered her voice and said, "Jin, they seem to have discovered it."

"It doesn't matter, just send the things away tonight. They can't find any evidence."

The voices of their conversation were very low, but Lu Ao could hear them clearly.

Xiang Xingchang watched for a while, then wanted to cross the defense line to see what they caught, "What did you catch? Is it a protected animal? This is China's sea area, and you have no right to catch protected animals!"

"No, this is just one of our sampling tasks." The researchers refused to admit it, "You are too sensitive."

"Then I ask you to show what you fished out. Do you dare?"

"Sir, this is our business secret. Your request is too rude."

Xiang Xingchang became anxious and pointed at them, "You have a guilty conscience! If you have the ability, pour the things out and show us. Did you catch the speartail fish?!"

"Sir, please don't make trouble unreasonably. If we really catch your protected animals, there will naturally be customs inspections when we leave. You have no right to make such demands on us."

Lu Ao watched the two sides going back and forth without making any move.

Jin mentioned tonight and didn't know what would happen tonight.

Lu Ao didn't know how they were going to send the things away at night.

Xiang Xingchang made a fuss, but there was no result.

The two sides were in a stalemate until past ten o'clock, and Xiang Xingchang and others insisted on staying on the deck.

The scientific expedition team ignored them and returned directly to their cabin with the salvaged items in the submersible.

Xiang Xingchang and his men tried to rob him several times, but were blocked every time.

The salvaged items were packed in dense fishing nets so that no one could see what was inside.

Only Lu Ao could feel it from a distance, it was indeed a spear-tailed fish.

Although Xiang Xingchang and the others couldn't see it, they felt it was so, and they were even more unwilling to compromise.

No one went back to the cabin to sleep that night, they just stayed on the deck to watch.

Lu Ao was also on the deck.

Xiang Xingchang and the others knew that they had already quietly called the police using a satellite phone, and they would be fine when the maritime police arrived, so they were not too nervous.

Everyone was sitting next to each other on the deck, feeling sleepy, but reminding each other that they didn't want to go to sleep.

As the time gradually reached midnight, everyone still fell asleep, and several people snored.

Lu Ao also fell into sleep. He was asleep when he was suddenly woken up. When he subconsciously looked up, he saw another large ship that was not inferior to theirs approaching.

The foreign letters on the big ship are clearly visible even under the starlight.

Lu Ao's heart sank.
