Picking up an aircraft carrier? What a great deal that would be.
If Xu Mo said he had picked up a phone or a wallet, Han Fei might have believed him.
But picking up an aircraft carrier? There was no way Han Fei would believe that!
That was just too ridiculous. Besides, could two major events worthy of national celebration happen within a single day?
Obviously not.
Han Fei hadn't noticed Xu Mo being so mischievous before. He wondered where the kid had picked up such bad habits.
"If it's not urgent, I'll hang up. Don't waste my time with jokes. I need to keep watching the news," Han Fei said, already preparing to end the call.
He was convinced that Xu Mo was just teasing him.
"I'm telling the truth... [beep beep beep...]"
Before Xu Mo could finish his sentence, the line went dead. Han Fei had hung up on him.
Why won't he believe me? I'm not lying... Xu Mo aimed his phone at the aircraft carrier in front of him and recorded a video, sending it to Han Fei via WeChat.
Within seconds of sending the video, Han Fei called back with a video call.
Xu Mo picked up instantly: "Captain Han, look behind me. I wasn't lying, was I?"
"Holy... crap..." Han Fei was stunned. He clearly saw that behind Xu Mo was a massive aircraft carrier!
When Xu Mo first mentioned it, Han Fei didn't believe a single word.
After receiving the aircraft carrier video from Xu Mo, he believed half of it.
Now, seeing the colossal structure with his own eyes during the video call, he was completely convinced.
"There really is an aircraft carrier... this... did you really pick it up?" After a long pause, Han Fei asked with wide eyes.
"Yeah, I was on a yacht having fun. I had a bit too much to drink, felt dizzy, and fell asleep. When I woke up... there it was, just sitting there. I checked, and it seemed like no one was around. It's brand new. I guess it's a gift from nature. It's a blessing for Dragon Country." Xu Mo explained.
Xu Mo's words were like a thunderbolt. Han Fei didn't know what to say.
Just taking a nap on a yacht and waking up to an abandoned aircraft carrier?
Could this really be a gift from nature?
He didn't even dare to dream like this!
"Where are you now?" Han Fei asked.
Xu Mo was at sea and had no idea how to describe his location, so he just shook his head: "I don't know where I am. I'll share my location with you."
After ending the call, Han Fei rushed out of the house, determined to find Xu Mo and see this aircraft carrier he had "picked up."
On his way to the dock, Han Fei pondered how to handle this situation.
He had heard that finding something should be reported to the police, and he was, in fact, a police officer. But this time... Han Fei had no idea how to handle it.
If Xu Mo had found a phone or a wallet, that would have been manageable. Han Fei had experience dealing with such matters. But this time, he had no experience! He couldn't handle an aircraft carrier; this needed to be reported up the chain of command.
But after hanging up, Han Fei was lost for a long time, unsure where to report this...
After some thought, Han Fei resorted to a simple solution, one he had learned from Xu Mo: if you don't know where to report something, just report it to your superior, and let them worry about it!
...
At the Yangcheng Police Bureau Chief's home
"What? An aircraft carrier? Old Han, are you drunk? How can you believe that? Huh? You have a video? Let me see..."
Like Han Fei, the chief initially didn't believe it.
But after seeing the video Han Fei sent, he believed it.
However, he also had no experience handling such an event and continued to report it further up the chain.
Thus, the matter was reported layer by layer, eventually reaching the military headquarters.
"An unmanned aircraft carrier within our coastline? Impossible. Our radar isn't useless. If there was an aircraft carrier, we would have detected it long ago. How could it have entered our coastline... What video? Send it over, let me see."
After professional analysis, it was confirmed that the video of the aircraft carrier had no signs of being photoshopped.
As for the location, it was indeed within the coastline!
Wow, so it's real!?
As for why the radar hadn't detected the aircraft carrier, it was likely due to its excellent stealth system, which even the radar couldn't detect.
Meanwhile.
On the yacht.
Xu Mo woke up the four women, who were all staring blankly at the massive structure in front of them.
Although they weren't interested in military affairs, they still had basic common sense. Who didn't know what an aircraft carrier was?
Before they could voice their confusion, Xu Mo spoke with certainty.
"Don't look at me. I have no idea what's going on. I had too much to drink and fell asleep. When I woke up, the aircraft carrier was just there. I think it's a gift from nature... We five have picked up an aircraft carrier."
Four women: "???"
A gift from nature?
We five picked up an aircraft carrier!?
Is that even something you can find?
While the four women were still in shock, Xu Mo reminded them.
"Oh, and you should go change your clothes. I've already called the police, and someone should be here soon to take over."
Looking down at their bikinis, the four women quickly ran back to the cabin to change, realizing that their current attire was a bit inappropriate.
In the distance, a speedboat was approaching.
On the speedboat were Han Fei and several middle-aged men with stern faces. From their demeanor and appearance, it was easy to tell that these men were leaders from various government departments, and their positions were increasingly high-ranking.
From a distance, they could see the massive structure on the water.
Although they had seen the video before coming, seeing it in person was a completely different experience.
It was incredibly mind-blowing!
In addition to this speedboat, several escort ships were speeding toward them from different directions.
On the yacht, Xu Mo noticed the speedboat and escort ships approaching from various directions.
Finally, they're here. I've been waiting for so long. I really want to see their expressions! Xu Mo felt a sudden surge of excitement.
As a steadfast patriot, he naturally hoped for his country's strength, and now he had contributed to the nation's construction by "picking up" an aircraft carrier and donating it to the country! A sense of pride welled up inside him.
After a while, the speedboat docked beside the yacht. With Xu Mo's help, Han Fei and the group of government leaders boarded the yacht.
"Captain Han, you're completely convinced now, right?" Xu Mo said with a smile.
Han Fei: щ(ʘ╻ʘ)щ
