Chen Hong didn't care about any of that; whether there were people around or not, it didn't prevent her from taking back her own berth.

He sailed directly to the stern of the Gao family's boat, leaped aboard, grabbed the railing, climbed up, and with a flick of his wrist, his short knife flashed and disappeared.

He cut the cable in one stroke, threw the end onto his fishing boat, and then pulled up the anchor line to retrieve it to the deck.

Then he jumped back onto his own boat, tied the other boat's cable to the stern of the fishing boat, and drove off with it.

They towed the boat for half an hour before finally dumping the wrecked vessel into the open sea and sailing back to the dock.

By this time, there were already quite a few people on the dock. Chen Hong sounded the ship's horn and moored the ship in berth number seven.

At this time, Xiaofeng and several young men from the village had also arrived. Chen Hong asked him to take some men and keep an eye on things, and to call her if the Gao brothers arrived.

She went home first; there was still a lot of work to do at home, and she couldn't be left waiting on an empty stomach at the dock!

After returning home and preparing breakfast, the mother and daughter ate, fed the chickens and ducks, tidied the vegetable garden, and watered the space.

Yu Yang went to play with Xiao Hao and Wang Xin. Chen Hong carried a large bag of steamed cabbage and pork buns that she had just made that morning, a bag of mineral water, and a fishing net and line. She then drove to the village supermarket.

I bought a big bag of live bait, plus a bag of flour and fishmeal, and headed straight to the dock.

Xiao Feng took the steamed buns from Chen Hong, led his men onto the fishing boat, shared them with his companions, opened bottled water, and ate breakfast on the boat.

This was Xiaofeng's first time on Chen Hong's fishing boat! "Sister Chen Hong, your boat is amazing!"

When will I ever get to own a ship like this? This ship is awesome! It's so luxurious and advanced!

If you're taking tourists out to sea, you can't get them on board unless you charter the boat at a high price.

Sister Chen Hong, has your boat been modified? The live water tank and the freezer tank are huge.

Wow! What kind of incredible speed is that? And how come it has two engines?

Hey! What's this? Why are there so many TVs on the ship?

"Sister Chen Hong, you're wasting so much space! Why install so many TVs for one person? Can you even watch them all?"

Chen Hong couldn't stand his chatter. She had never realized that this child was so talkative before. Had he become bolder and more unrestrained since returning to the village?

"It's terrible to be uncultured. If you don't understand something, read more books. If that doesn't work, read more news and newspapers!"

There are two TVs in total, and the rest are monitor screens. Didn't you see that there are cameras installed on the ship?

By the way, when you get back, talk to Hou Lin and ask him to take you to the computer mall in the city to find someone to install surveillance cameras in the hotel and at my house.

The computer was installed in Hou Lin's house; he was put in charge of home security.

The young people stared wide-eyed. Was it really necessary to be so tense?

Their village has always been peaceful, and there are no troublemakers among the villagers, so why do they need to install surveillance cameras?

Xiao Feng asked, puzzled, "There are no petty thieves in our village, so why install surveillance cameras?"

That thing isn't cheap. I heard the computer alone costs several thousand yuan, plus the webcam and cables, and the electricity bill alone is considerable.

Chen Hong scolded him, "You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against others. Look at us, our village has just started to get a little better off, and we've already started to attract the attention of bad people."

Our hotel is a business, no matter how small. Our family consists of elderly people, women, and children. We can't afford to be lazy.

If others know we have security cameras installed, they'll have something to worry about if they want to do something malicious.

Now, surveillance cameras are installed everywhere on the streets of big cities, and there are far fewer violations of laws and regulations. The deterrent effect is obvious.

Xiao Feng and the others grumbled, "It's good, but it costs too much money!"

"Exactly, small families can't afford it!"

"I can afford to decorate, but I'm reluctant to do so. There's nothing in my house that would make me want to buy anything."

Xiao Feng knew that once Chen Hong said those words, she must have made up her mind.

Although Chen Hong doesn't usually manage the hotel, she is the real boss who holds the power.

All I could do was agree and say, "Yeah, we have to pretend. We're not afraid of spending a little money; we just want to be safe."

Chen Hong didn't want to waste time waiting for someone, so she called a gas truck, filled up the tank, and prepared to go to her old fishing spot near the sea to catch some fish.

She hadn't been to sea for a long time, and seeing the ocean, she felt as if she heard its call.

I was incredibly excited and had a strong urge to get close to the sea.

Chen Hong was constantly on the boat, checking its condition and tidying up her fishing gear, seemingly preparing to go to sea.

"Sister Chen Hong, are you going out to sea? Aren't you waiting for Brother Gao Chengshan?"

As Chen Hong tidied up the fishing nets and piled them in a corner of the deck, she said to Xiao Feng and several young men from the village:

"I don't know when the Gao brothers will arrive. I can't just sit here and wait for them without doing anything, can I?"

You guys shouldn't all just stand here like idiots. Two of you stay here and keep watch, the rest of you go do what you need to do. If you see people coming, don't rush in like fools.

Quickly call the village to call for reinforcements, and deal with them once everyone in the village arrives.

I won't go far, at most half an hour away. I'll be back with just one phone call.

"It's been a long time since I've been out to sea. Seeing the ocean makes my hands itch! I'm going out to cast a net now, and I'll be right back."

The young people in the village remained silent, but they strongly disagreed.

You call yourself a fishing expert, but you can't be this arrogant. And you're back so quickly? Do you think you're going to the seafood market to do wholesale?

His thoughts were written all over his face, and he looked completely unconvinced.

Chen Hong wasn't familiar with them; she only knew they were all members of the Wang clan, unrelated people, so why did she care what their attitude was?

Xiao Feng had heard his father and wife talk about Chen Hong quite a bit. Although he thought her words were a bit exaggerated, he had never been disappointed.
