Chapter 2107 Was I not famous before?

At the port of Langfa, a large cargo ship that had been moored for more than ten days and flew the flag of Mediterranean Shipping suddenly began to weigh anchor and start its power system to warm up, ready to leave the port at any time.

Hengchuan Shisan stood in the cockpit, looking through the glass at the ships coming and going outside, his serious expression revealing a hint of anxiety.

He had just received a notification from Hengchuan Dashi, instructing him to leave port immediately and head to international waters.

Although Hengchuan Daishi didn't explain the reason in detail, he knew that something must have happened.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have let him leave Hong Kong so suddenly.

This shipment of rare earth elements is quite valuable, and he must find a way to transport them back to J country.

Liao Sen went to process the export port permit procedures. Once the permit is obtained, the cargo ship can leave port immediately.

The port management and customs have been taken care of, so there won't be any problems with the procedures.

Just as he was waiting anxiously, a piercing siren suddenly blared!

He turned around in astonishment and looked towards the shore.

More than a dozen police cars, sirens blaring, roared into the port.

Meanwhile, on the sea, four patrol boats quickly surrounded the cargo ship.

"Attention, cargo ship Zhichun! We are from the Langfa Police Station, and we are here to inspect your vessel. All personnel on board, please proceed to the upper deck!"

Immediately afterwards, a shout came from a patrol boat.

Dozens of people got out of police cars on the shore, all armed, wearing bulletproof vests and holding riot shields, and quickly approached the cargo ship.

When Hengchuan Shisan saw this scene, his heart sank, and he knew that everything was over!

Just then, a commotion broke out at the entrance of the port management office.

Immediately afterwards, a gunshot rang out, and a man who had just run out of there collapsed to the ground.

Hengchuan Thirteen's vision went black, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Soon, officers boarded the cargo ship and took control of everyone on board. A portion of the officers then searched the vessel.

Xie Zhen, the police chief of Langfa Police Station, and Luo Hongwei, the police chief of the port police station, personally boarded the cargo ship and coldly surveyed the captain, first mate, and sailors who were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Finally, their gaze fell upon Hengchuan Shisan.

"Are you in charge of this cargo ship?"

Xie Zhen asked in a solemn tone.

Hengchuan Thirteen did not answer, and remained squatting on the ground with his head down.

Xie Zhen smiled coldly and waved his hand, "Take them all away."

Dozens of police officers immediately came over and escorted Hengchuan Thirteen and the others away.

"Director Xie, Director Luo, a large amount of soil has been found in the warehouse, which should be the rare earth they wanted to smuggle out of the country!"

A police officer rushed over to report to Xie Zhen and Luo Hongwei.

Xie Zhen said with a serious expression, "Leave a small team here to guard this place."

"Yes!"

The officer stood at attention and went to make arrangements.

Soon, the police officers, along with Hengchuan Shisan, the captain, and others, left the port.

The cargo ship has stopped and is awaiting processing by the relevant authorities.

…………

After leaving Baicun, Pi Yangyang went straight back to the company.

Just as I arrived at the company gate, Guo Weiguo called, excitedly saying, "Mr. Pi, you've done a great job this time! The comrades from the testing institute have confirmed that the mountains behind Baicun and Wucun are indeed rare earth mines! At the same time, the rare earth they were transporting to the cargo ship at the port has been intercepted, and all the people on board have been taken back for questioning..."

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly and said, "This matter is a bit strange. Our country's rare earth mines, which we haven't mined ourselves, have been coveted by foreign countries and were almost stolen."

Guo Weiguo solemnly stated, "That's right, this matter is very serious. To be precise, it's simply a joke. Foreign forces dare to illegally mine rare earth elements right under our noses; it's an insult to us!"

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated and this force must be completely eradicated!"

Pi Yangyang seemed very interested and said, "I'm very interested in these people now."

"These people are extremely ruthless. Just now, Liao Sen, who was going to process his departure formalities, was stabbed to death by someone at the port authority. When the perpetrator fled, he violently arrested someone and tried to take a passerby hostage, but was shot dead on the spot by the police. According to the police's preliminary assessment, the perpetrator may be from Japan..."

On the other end of the phone, Guo Weiguo's somewhat angry voice came through again.

Pi Yangyang's eyes narrowed, but he wasn't too surprised.

"People from Japan? That's not surprising. They are capable of doing it."

Pi Yangyang said calmly.

"Yes, Mr. Pi, this matter has alarmed the higher-ups. They may invite you to come over in the next few days to receive commendation and awards."

Guo Weiguo finally couldn't hide his excitement and said to Pi Yangyang.

Pi Yangyang wasn't very interested in this, and casually replied with an "Mmm," "Okay, I understand."

Although he wasn't particularly interested, he couldn't refuse the summons from higher-ups.

For most people, this would be an opportunity they would be eager to seize, and they might even see it as a chance to bring glory to their ancestors.

Guo Weiguo knew that Pi Yangyang was naturally indifferent, only occasionally acting in a high-profile manner, so he smiled knowingly and said, "Alright, I won't bother you any longer."

After hanging up the phone, Pi Yangyang let out a long sigh of relief, paused for a few seconds, and then strode towards the office building.

Upon entering the office building, he sensed that everyone's gaze was somewhat different.

Although all the employees usually treat him with great respect when he passes through the lobby.

But this time, he clearly felt that these people respected him even more.

"Hello, Chairman!"

The lobby manager, Deng Jing, even seemed a little excited as she greeted him.

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "Okay!"

He knew that these people must know about the rare earth mines.

Upon arriving upstairs, he thought for a moment and then entered Su Xueqing's office.

Surprisingly, Su Xueqing wasn't busy this time; instead, she was sitting in her office chair, lost in thought.

What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?

Pi Yangyang asked, somewhat taken aback.

Su Xueqing, who was lost in thought, suddenly woke up and looked at Pi Yangyang with a strange expression, looking him up and down.

Pi Yangyang felt uneasy under her gaze and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with me? Is something wrong?"

Su Xueqing suddenly chuckled softly, "No, I was just thinking, how is my husband so amazing? He can even discover rare earth minerals?"

Pi Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief and said smugly, "You only realized how amazing your husband is today?"

Su Xueqing spat, "You're getting all cocky just because I called you fat! What? Are you secretly pleased with yourself?"

Pi Yangyang chuckled softly, "What's there to be proud of? It's just a coincidence."

Su Xueqing felt a little uncomfortable seeing him suddenly become modest again. "Don't be like that. There aren't that many coincidences in the world. You have no idea, you've become famous this time."

Pi Yangyang asked in astonishment, "What do you mean? Wasn't I famous before?"

Su Xueqing rolled her eyes at him. "Can't you speak properly?"

Pi Yangyang chuckled, "Okay, tell me, what happened?"

"Just now, more than a dozen official media outlets called to schedule interviews with you. A program team from the national television station also said they want to produce a special interview segment and invited you to participate..."

Su Xueqing pointed to a sticky note next to the computer and said happily.

Pi Yangyang immediately frowned and said listlessly, "I really thought it was something good. You know I hate facing reporters the most."

Su Xueqing said, "That's why I haven't agreed yet. You can make the decision yourself."

Without even thinking, Pi Yangyang said, "If they all refuse, what's the point of interviewing them?"

Su Xueqing said, "I'm afraid that won't work."

Pi Yangyang asked in surprise, "What's wrong with that?"

"This matter has indeed had a significant impact. It's not just the media; relevant departments are also keeping an eye on you," Su Xueqing said after thinking for a moment. "Think about it, if you refuse everything, what will people outside think of you?"

Pi Yangyang immediately looked miserable and said helplessly, "If I had known, I would have asked Tie Niu to deliver the samples."

Su Xueqing was amused by him. "How did you even come up with that idea? Wouldn't Tie Niu be dumbfounded in front of the reporters? Don't put yourself in such a difficult position. Actually, you should think about it from the other side. Maybe this is a good thing?"

"What good thing could it be?" Pi Yangyang still had a bitter face.

Su Xueqing said, "Think about it, so many official media outlets are interviewing you. Isn't that advertising for the Yan Group? Others would kill for this, and you're finding it so difficult? Aren't these interviews better than spending tens of millions on advertising?"

Pi Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's true, but as someone who's partially illiterate, I really don't know what to say to reporters..."

"Stop pretending. What illiterate person is like you? Besides, you're the chairman of the Yan Group. Even if you're illiterate, who would really care?"

Su Xueqing said.

Pi Yangyang looked at Su Xueqing and suddenly gave a wicked smile, "That's right, you're a graduate student, and you still got tricked into becoming my wife by an illiterate guy like me..."

A flock of crows immediately flew overhead, saying irritably, "I'm the one who picked you up, okay..."
