Li Zhong, who was standing nearby, also sensed the boss's happiness and, with great insight, brought over the fish box.
Fu Wan skillfully removed the hook from the fish's mouth. It must be said that this red snapper was really beautiful, with a slender and smooth body, a reddish and glossy color all over its body, and a small blue ring above its eyes, making it look like it had been specially made up.
Fu Wan weighed the fish in her hand. The two inspectors had good eyesight; judging by the feel, the fish was indeed over a pound.
The way weight is measured in Hong Kong is different from that in the mainland. Here, people usually use the Sima jin, which is sixteen liang. One liang is approximately equal to thirty-seven point eight grams.
In other words, a jin in Hong Kong is actually more than a jin in mainland China. The 16 liang mentioned by the inspector is actually about 605 grams.
The red snapper in Fu Wan's hand should weigh around 700 grams. Having caught many fish, Fu Wan's sense of touch is always very accurate. She can roughly tell the weight of something in her hand by just a couple of weighings.
He Guohua could naturally see this, and seeing Fu Wan take the fish off the plate, he couldn't wait to signal Fu Wan to put it back into the fish box.
"Mr. Li has already filled it with seawater. Miss Fu, put it in quickly, don't let it die."
Sea fish are difficult to keep alive, but the red sea bream that Fu Wan caught was not injured at all and was very lively.
Sure enough, as soon as the fish was put into the tank, it slammed its tail into the water, immediately splashing a spray of water onto the faces of the inspectors who were already trying to put on a brave face.
Now, the inspector could no longer hide his displeasure.
He Guohua was secretly delighted. Did these two inspectors think he was crazy? Tsk, don't think he couldn't tell what these two were up to on the ship.
Hmph, as long as he's around, they won't be able to stop Fu Wan from fishing!
Fu Wan was delighted with her first cast, and after catching some shrimp and mackerel pieces, she cast the line again.
This red sea bream previously ate shrimp. Shrimp is something that not only humans love to eat, but also sea fish love to eat.
However, sea fish actually prefer live shrimp, which is an animal's hunting instinct. But because Ah Cai had prepared the bait early in the morning, the shrimp and crabs he brought were mostly not alive.
After casting the first rod, Fu Wan took two more rods, baited them, and cast the fishing lines from different angles.
Only after finishing all that did she have some free time.
The inspector was dealing with He Guohua, and Bai Qianzhou didn't like getting involved in these matters, so he picked up a bottle of water and handed it over.
Fang Min was using binoculars to check the situation of the other speedboats when Fu Wan casually asked, "How's it going? Have the others made any big gains?"
"No, they're all small fish, about the size of a palm."
Fang Min handed the binoculars to Fu Wan, who took them and looked. Just a couple hundred meters away, a speedboat was pulling its catch out of the water.
"Oh ho, big-eyed chicken!"
The cheers could be heard from a great distance, and He Guohua looked over when he heard them.
He also had a pair of binoculars hanging around his neck. When he raised the binoculars and looked at the people on the speedboat, the smile on He Guohua's face immediately turned cold.
He Guosheng!
This coward has finally shown himself.
He Guosheng seemed to know that He Guohua was watching him, and waved his hand toward the speedboat.
This infuriated He Guohua. Before boarding the ship, he had heard Ah Zhong report that the reason He Shizhang had submitted his immigration application so quickly was because of He Guosheng's instigation.
He Guohua knew exactly what this guy was up to: he wanted to force Old Master He to give up some shares and funds from He Guozhong out of consideration for his own son.
Although He Guozhong has now frozen He Shizhang's sources of income, there's no guarantee that if he goes to Victoria Peak to cry a couple of times, Old Master He might feel sorry for him and take out some money.
While He Shizhang is certainly hateful, He Guosheng, who is hiding behind the scenes, is even more disgusting.
As a member of the Ho family, he secretly colluded with foreign forces and incited Hong Kong's wealthy to emigrate. Not to mention Ho Kwok-chung, even Ho Kwok-wah wanted to catch this kid and give him a good beating.
For someone like that to be able to catch such a big, chubby guy, ugh, he just got incredibly lucky!
He Guohua mentally grumbled a lot. If it weren't for those two people on the speedboat keeping watch, he would have already started complaining to Fu Wan and the others.
Now, he could only swallow these words and hope that Fu Wan would catch a big fish and thwart He Guosheng's plan!
Perhaps He Guohua's prayers had truly been answered, because almost the next second, Fu Wan's fishing rod made another sound.
Fu Wan stepped forward and grabbed the fishing rod. This fish's reaction was different from the red sea bream from before. The fishing line was pulled straight instantly. Fu Wan let out a lot of small lines. It wasn't until about five minutes later that the fish stopped pulling. Seeing this, Fu Wan hurriedly reeled in the line.
This process was not simple. Before the line had been reeled in a few meters, the fish started pulling on the line again.
"Bai Qianzhou, bring me some water!"
As she pulled, Fu Wan could already feel the burning heat of the reel in her hand.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qianzhou quickly picked up the bottle of mineral water he had just opened and poured it onto the reel.
"Looks like a big fish, Wan. If you can't hold on any longer, I'll take over."
Fu Wan nodded to indicate that she understood. She had only been pulling for a few minutes and could hold on for a long time.
Besides, there are still two fishing rods hanging there, maybe some fish will come up later!
"Hey, there's movement over here too!"
Just as Fu Wan had this thought, Li Zhong suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
He had intended to follow Fu Wan to see what was going on, but as soon as he walked over, he heard the fishing rod stuck next to the speedboat suddenly creak and groan.
Li Zhong instinctively darted forward and grabbed the wobbly fishing rod that was about to fly away. Even if he hadn't seen pork before, he had seen pigs run. Although he was usually busy with work and didn't fish much, Li Zhong knew that this fishing rod had caught a fish!
But he didn't know how to handle a fish, and for a moment he was completely flustered.
He kept gesturing for people to help him.
"Ahhh, Comrade Bai, Comrade Bai, come help me! I think this fishing rod is going to be torn in half by the fish!"
Meanwhile, Fu Wan had only about fifty meters of cable left.
If all goes well, that fish will be pulled up soon!
"Fang Min, fishhook!"
Fu Wan grabbed the fishing rod and shouted. As soon as she finished speaking, there was a splash, and a dark figure leaped out of the water and then fell heavily back into the water.
With lightning speed, Fang Min raised the fishing hook, aimed at the fish, and pulled it onto the boat in a flash, much to the disbelief of He Guohua and the others.
The moment the fish hit the speedboat, it rocked for quite a while before it finally stabilized.
"Damn it, it's a bigeye tuna!"
The first person to swear was actually an inspector. "Isn't it said that women are weak? Isn't it said that women can't fish? What's going on with this fish!"
The fishing competition has only been going on for less than half an hour, how come this person has caught such a beautiful big-eyed tuna!
Good heavens, their mission seems to be in big trouble!
