Feng Ye just wanted to save someone who had fallen into the sea, but he didn't expect to drag himself down with them, returning to 1990.
He also wanted to do business with the Russians, t...
One person is enough to operate the crane. With nothing to do for the time being, Feng Ye leaned against the edge of the boat, gazing absently at the distant sea.
The waves gently lapped against the hull, making a deep, rhythmic sound.
The sunlight shimmered on the sea, making it sparkle like it was sprinkled with golden fragments.
In the distance, the sea and sky blend into one, making it impossible to distinguish where the sky ends and the sea begins.
His gaze pierced through the layers of waves, as if searching for something.
"Brother Ye, the suitcase is up here."
Ah Can's excited voice interrupted Feng Ye's thoughts.
He came to his senses and saw that Ah-chan had already pulled the heavy box close to the side of the boat to the gunwale, so he immediately went over to help.
"One person on each side, this is heavy, be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah-Can's hand, which was lifting the box, suddenly sank.
"Holy crap, how can it be so heavy? It feels even heavier than being at the bottom of the sea."
Ah-chan grinned and shouted, his face showing an expression of disbelief.
Feng Ye was startled and quickly reached out to lift the other side.
He was mentally prepared, but once he picked it up, he realized how heavy the box was and almost couldn't lift it properly.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "It should be because there is buoyancy at the bottom of the sea, so it feels lighter when we are lifted up."
"Yes, that should be it."
Ah-Can nodded, agreeing with Feng Ye's conjecture.
"Be careful not to press it down with your hand."
“I know…”
Both of them turned red in the face from straining, and it took them all their strength to lift the box onto the deck.
"This weight must be over a hundred, almost two hundred pounds."
Ah-chan shook his arms, panting heavily, sweat dripping down his face and onto the deck.
"That's about it. Let's take a break and start again later."
Feng Ye plopped down on the deck, panting heavily, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.
The box was heavy, and he wondered what was inside and whether it was what he expected.
"Stop resting, I can't wait to find out what treasures are inside."
As Ah-chan spoke, he turned and ran into the cabin.
A moment later, he came running out with a hammer, eager to try it out, and asked, "Brother Ye, which one should we open first?"
Feng Ye patted the box: "Of course it's this heavy box. I reckon the things inside the lighter one are pretty useless after being soaked in seawater."
"Hehe, I also want to start with a duplicate."
Ah-chan picked up the hammer and banged it on the lock a few times.
The lock had been submerged in the sea for who knows how many years, and it was already corroded beyond recognition. It couldn't withstand such smashing, and it was broken in no time.
