Chen Yiyang detected the concern in the leader's words.
Internationally, it's well-known that piracy runs rampant in Southeast Asia.
But whether it's stealing or non-violent robbery, no matter how harsh the punishment, it's not a death sentence.
If Chen Yiyang's team opens fire on anyone trying to forcibly board the ship,
the consequences could be severe. Some countries might even intervene and put Chen Yiyang and his team on trial.
"Here's what we'll do: I'll make a few calls." Chen Yiyang told the security team leader to head back, while he started reaching out to contacts.
A few days later, the salvage ship entered Southeast Asian waters.
The trailing ships were following more closely.
Moreover, news of the salvage of Ancient Roman lead ingots was already causing a stir internationally.
A bunch of nations surrounding the shipwreck area produced documents to claim jurisdiction over the waters, asserting that the shipwreck's resources should belong to them.
