The maritime demarcation line is not very clear, and fishermen often cross the sea to fish, leading to such tragedies. Wuxiang never expected this would happen. These days, listening to Aunt Zhang and Old Zhang talk about life at sea, it sometimes feels unpredictable, as there are no clearly marked boundaries. Sometimes when a storm hits and the winds pick up, fishing boats can drift beyond their national waters without anyone realizing.

The coast guards patrolling the seas tend to be extremely brutal; they beat fishermen on sight with harsh methods. A few years ago, Old Zhang encountered this issue while being well within his own country's borders and was beaten by them, breaking an arm, nearly unable to return home.

Women were crying, creating a sorrowful scene. Wuxiang and Guimian, who have seen many partings and deaths, did not feel the same grief as others but instead felt anger and frustration. Human lives are cheap in the eyes of killers, but these simple people make them feel that life is precious, making their loss all the more regrettable.

According to one fisherman's account, there was a big storm two days ago. They were originally fishing near the coast, but during the night, they crossed the line unintentionally without realizing it. They encountered Philippine coast guards patrolling the seas and were immediately fired upon brutally; thirteen fishermen died, and the whereabouts of the other two are unknown because their bodies could not be found.

The incident quickly became a sensation on both sides of China and the Philippines. The staff from the Chinese embassy in the Philippines have gone to negotiate with them to hand over the coast guards involved and take responsibility for life. However, soon after, another message was released stating that the attack on fishermen is related to smuggling and drug trafficking by the Philippines; they did not encounter Philippine police but smugglers instead. The government agreed to pay five million yuan per person as compensation. When the fishermen demanded justice, their voices were suppressed.

Wuxiang was furious at this kind of treatment for people's lives, only valuing them at five million yuan

How could women who have lost husbands and sons survive with just five million yuan

The young man who survived that day clearly stated it was the Philippine Coast Guard. He even saw the Filipino flag and witnessed them wearing uniforms, so how could they possibly be drug smugglers

The boy's father also lost his life; hatred reddened his eyes. These days, he has been extremely angry, having to take care of his mother as well as his grandmother, with all the living pressures solely on him.

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "There’s nothing we can do. Who cares about our lives"

When such a large country is bullied like this, and they simply brush it off by saying 'smuggling,' Wu Shuang was enraged beyond reason, at a loss for words. This clearly shows that there were deals made within the government to sweep this matter under the rug without considering how many fishermen lost their lives unexpectedly.

Wu Shuang no longer had the heart to play her guitar. She withdrew some money from her account and distributed it among the fishing households, encouraging them to find alternative livelihoods. Each family received several million yuan, which was enough for a small business venture. There are so many injustices in this world; she couldn’t help everyone, but as she had stayed here these few days by chance, she felt an obligation. Normally, if she saw such matters, she wouldn't even blink.

Old Zhang and Mrs. Zhang originally didn't want to accept Wu Shuang's five million yuan. Knowing they didn’t want to be indebted to anyone, Wu Shuang couldn’t help but say, "Think of it as a loan from me. Doing business on the mainland is better than worrying at sea. Xiao Jie and Xiao Yu need good education too; you wouldn't want them to meet their end here. Changing your lifestyle might be a better choice. If we have any future encounters, when you’ve made something of yourselves, return the money."

She didn’t lack this sum of money anyway, so she might as well give it to those in need.

In the end, Old Zhang and Mrs. Zhang accepted her kindness. Ghost Face said, "You really are a strange person"

"What's strange about it"

The Masked Spirit said, "You don't seem like the type to do such things."

"So I appear as a cold-hearted killer"

"Not at all!" The Masked Spirit said calmly. The more he got to know her, the more he realized that Wushuang was truly remarkable—she combined strength and gentleness perfectly, and she was full of love and righteousness. Such a woman is rare indeed.

Chun Nanfeng must have accumulated several lifetimes' worth of good fortune to deserve ten years of her devoted love.

The two of them set off for the Philippines by sea. Upon hearing what Wushuang had said, Old Zhang and Aunt Zhang decided to seek a different path in life and return to their hometown to run a small business. Wushuang borrowed their fishing boat to go to the Philippines, but the others insisted on seeing them off, and Wushuang and The Masked Spirit could not refuse.

By coincidence, they encountered the Philippine coast guard that very evening.

The searchlight swept across the sea in a frenzy, with people on the other side shouting in Tagalog. Wushuang understood what was being said; the coast guard warned them not to proceed further. Old Zhang and his companions were familiar with the sea and had dealt with coast guards before; they also knew some Tagalog and explained that they were not going out to fish but only taking their boat to the shore.

The coast guard stubbornly wouldn't let them pass and started firing wildly at the sea surface, bullets hitting the front of the boat and creating several bullet holes. The young man pointed at the Philippine coast guard and cursed loudly, recognizing the patrol ship number and shouting angrily, "It's them! It’s them! They were the ones who fired on us that day."

Wu Shuang raised an eyebrow, and Ghost Face looked out towards the sea. The situation had become a standoff. Old Zhang tried to negotiate with them, but the coast guard became impatient and pointed their gun at him, firing. Wu Shuang hurriedly pushed Old Zhang down as a barrage of bullets swept over, one stray bullet grazing her arm. She was furious...

"Damn it! I gave you face, so now that you want to die, I'll finish you off!" she turned and entered the cabin, grabbing her suitcase. Upon opening it, she revealed her MTU-99 sniper rifle. The fishermen were shocked; they didn't know Wu Shuang’s little travel bag contained hidden compartments with various firearms inside. Wu Shuang took out the sniper rifle as Ghost Face naturally pulled out his own.

"What are you going to do" asked the young man, both excited and scared at the same time.

"I'll let you run wild. What's so great about the coast guard Go become a son-in-law of the Sea Dragon King," Wu Shuang said as she raised her sniper rifle and aimed it at the water near the coast guard ship, firing one shot that caused a loud splash on the surface, nearly capsizing an actual boat with several coast guards falling into the sea. Though not a cruel person, Wu Shuang spoke fiercely but didn't shoot to kill them. She took her suitcase back and lowered a small boat for Old Zhang, saying, "Go back and pack your things now, we'll find a ship to go to the Philippines."

Old Zhang released the small boat; Wu Shuang and Ghost Face got in it and headed towards the coast guard ship. There were around ten coast guards on board who fired at Wu Shuang and Ghost Face. Wu Shuang switched to an assault rifle, firing a barrage that almost destroyed half of their ship.

Old Zhang and the others stared in disbelief; they had never seen such real military action before in their lives. The young man clapped excitedly; they had long been under threat from the Philippine coast guard and were full of pent-up anger, wishing Wu Shuang would blow up their ship at that moment.Nuan could no longer remain silent. She sternly asked, "If you're going to have a tantrum, just do it! This silence is terrifying."Ye Fei Mo remained indifferent and expressionless, as if he hadn't he...
