The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Several pirate forces in the Gulf of Aden had decided to combine forces to hijack six cargo ships at one go at noon on the same day.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked!

This included Charlie, who also received push notifications from all the major news media right away.

The method employed by the pirates in the Gulf of Aden to hijack cargo ships was very simple and brutal. It was nothing more than employing the use of speedboats to intercept the slow-moving cargo ships as well as using a variety of weapons to deter the opponent and force them to give up resistance. After that, the pirates would then board the ship and control all the crew members before driving the cargo ship back to their home base as they waited for the owner of the ship to pay the ransom in order to redeem his men. This time, when they hijacked several other ships, they were met with resistance from international security personnel, and both sides suffered casualties.

However, only the process of hijacking the Blue Dragon was extremely smooth.

This was because there was almost little to no

resistance from the Blue Dragon all the way. Only a few crew members used high-pressure water guns to symbolically spray high-pressure water jets. After the pirates had fired a gun threat at them, the crew members were so scared that they had even stopped the high- pressure water guns.

After that, the pirates had subsequently boarded the cargo ship and were delighted to find out that the owner of the cargo ship, Blue Dragon, was too stingy and had not even hired a single international security personnel.

So, they were elated, and they had gleefully taken the dozens of crew members of the cargo ship under their control.

Immediately afterward, the Blue Dragon had started to change its course and headed toward the pirates' home base.

As soon as the Blue Dragon had turned around, the pirates could not wait to report the news of their successful hijack to their leader.

When the leader heard of the successful hijacking of a cargo ship carrying nearly twenty thousand containers, he was naturally very happy as he thought that he had caught a big fish.

So, he released the news to the public immediately, claiming that he had hijacked the Blue Dragon, and he was calling out to the owner of Blue Dragon, demanding for the owner to pay them a ransom of ten million US dollars. They had no idea who the owner of the Blue Dragon was at all.

However, according to their experience, as long as they announced the information of the cargo ship to the public, the owner of the ship would naturally show up at their doorstep.

Based on their past experiences,

after the owner of the ship

confirmed that his cargo ship had indeed been hijacked, he would then communicate with the leader of the pirate organization immediately. On one hand, the shipowner would request for them not to harm the crew, and on the other hand, it would be the issue of price bargaining.

When it came to hijacking, the pirates could afford to delay time, but shipowners could not afford any delays.

The price of ocean shipping was so high nowadays, and they could only earn one hundred million US dollars in one trip. If the shipment was really delayed for a long time because of the hijacking, it would not only result in the loss of transport revenue, but the shipowner would also have to compensate for the cargo owners' losses.

Sometimes, the losses incurred because of a single day's delay could exceed more than a few million US dollars. However, what the pirate leader did not expect was that Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Company from Oskia

did not contact them immediately.

On the contrary, Charlie soon received a phone call from Autumn.

As soon as the call was connected, she said somewhat nervously, "Mr. Wade, our cargo ship has been hijacked!"

"Yes." Charlie smiled faintly and said, "I saw the news."

Autumn said anxiously, "The

hijackers have demanded a ransom

of ten million US dollars. I've not

given them a reply yet. Didn't you just arrange for the people from Ten Thousand Armies to escort the cargo ship? The cargo ship gave feedback eight hours ago that the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies have already boarded the cargo ship. How could this still happen, then?"

Charlie laughed and said, "This is the request that I set for Ten Thousand Armies."

"Huh?!" Autumn was stunned and she blurted out, "Why?"

Charlie laughed and said, "You don't have to worry. The cargo ship will definitely be fine, and you will find out the reason why very soon."
