"Guoli, Guoli...this speedboat..."
Before Xu Zhiwei could finish speaking, He Guoli interrupted him abruptly.
"Uncle, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I definitely won't lose to that woman in the speedboat, but today, she has to call me grandpa!"
Ho Kwok-lee clenched his fist in determination. His father and Hui Chi-wai both loved fishing, so Ho Kwok-lee went out to sea with them from a young age, and his fishing rods have evolved from small children's fishing rods to adult fishing rods.
He hadn't lost much at the fishing spot, and he often caught some rock goby to cheer up his dad. Heh, He Guohua actually invited this woman to participate in the competition, he must have lost his mind. Today he'll see what this woman is capable of!
Since He Guoli had already said so, Xu Zhiwei couldn't say anything more to stop him.
He hadn't seen Fu Wan fishing at sea back then, so he figured her fishing skills must be mediocre.
After all, most anglers these days are men; what skills could women possibly have?
Fish don't bite just because someone is pretty, nor do they jump out of the water on their own. He didn't believe that Fu Wan, with her thin arms and legs, could pull up any big fish!
"Okay! Go for it! Your uncle supports you!"
Xu Zhiwei was instantly fired up by He Guoli's words and immediately raised his hand in response.
"It's just a speedboat. If we lose, we can just buy another one!"
Upon hearing this, He Guoli immediately objected.
"Uncle, how can you say we lost? Pshaw, we'll definitely win!"
"Okay, we'll definitely win!"
Fu Wan, who was not far away, overheard the conversation between the two and immediately burst out laughing.
She finally understood why He Guoli was so funny; it turned out he had such a ridiculous uncle.
"Miss Fu, what are you laughing at?"
He Guohua asked in confusion, and Fu Wan gestured with her chin towards He Guoli and Fu Wan.
"I'm laughing. There's a saying that a nephew is like his uncle, and it's true."
He Guohua glanced in that direction, then immediately looked away with disdain.
He Guoli has always liked going out with Xu Zhiwei since he was a child, but now he has none of the intelligence of the He family.
Ugh, how embarrassing!
"Let's not talk about them anymore, Miss Fu. Take a look at the fishing rod I prepared. Is there anything that needs improvement?"
He Guohua waved his hand, and A Cai took the fishing rod that he had prepared earlier.
Fu Wan took one of the fishing rods, pulled it apart, and casually swung it around.
"Not bad, it's quite resilient."
She checked the fishhooks next to her again; there were all sizes, and they were all very sharp.
"Oh, by the way, Miss Fu, there's also this."
He Guohua suddenly remembered something and rummaged through his bag to find something.
Fu Wan took a look and was immediately overjoyed.
"Hey, you guys even have fake bait here?"
He Guohua nodded, "Yes, isn't it available on the mainland?"
"I don't think so. I couldn't find it in the store last time. I was thinking of looking for it in Guangzhou, but I didn't expect Mr. He to be so thoughtful and prepare this."
As Fu Wan spoke, she gave a thumbs up. He Guohua grinned and said, "Actually, this was said by my older brother. He also goes fishing sometimes. He was supposed to come with us this afternoon, but something came up and he couldn't make it, so he specially asked Xiao Li to bring it over to us."
"Little Li? Comrade Li is here too?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan looked around and indeed found Li Zhong running over from the nearby toilet.
She didn't see Li Zhong this afternoon, and she thought he wasn't going.
"Haha, both Xiao Li and Miss Fu are from the mainland. I think it would be better if they went together, or as we say in the mainland, it would be more lively!"
He Guohua laughed heartily. At this moment, He Guoli and Xu Zhiwei also came over, followed by two young men whom He Guohua recognized as He Guoli's bodyguards, Afa and Awang.
"We're about to set sail, mainland girl. It's still early. You can still admit defeat if you want!"
He Guoli held his head high, as if he could already see Fu Wan becoming his defeated opponent, calling him "Grandpa".
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan gave him a pinky finger and said, "Kid, who's afraid of this?"
"You! You'll regret this!"
Seeing that Fu Wan refused to admit defeat, He Guoli gritted his teeth and uttered harsh words.
After saying that, he strode onto the speedboat, with one of his two subordinates staying beside him while the other started the speedboat.
The speedboat sped away, and even though Fu Wan and He Guoli's speedboat were some distance away, a small amount of seawater still splashed onto her hands.
"These bastards!"
He Guoli shook his hand and cursed, "Miss Fu, are you alright?"
"It's alright, Mr. He, let's set sail quickly!"
Fu Wan was not unhappy at all; on the contrary, she looked somewhat eager.
Seeing this, Fang Min couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Awan, why are you getting so agitated?"
Fu Wan pointed to the white waves created by the speedboat in the distance, her words full of admiration.
"Look at that speedboat, it's got real power!"
Once she gets back and fills up the tank, it shouldn't take more than an hour to get to Coconut Island and Swallow's Nest Island.
Why am I so excited? Of course, it's because this speedboat is about to be hers!
Fang Min understood the meaning behind Fu Wan's words and also turned her gaze to the speedboat in the distance.
This speedboat doesn't look cheap. Do you really think those two port city folks will honestly give it to them?
If she doesn't give it to them, and then beats them up, will it attract the attention of the Hong Kong police?
However, He Guohua interpreted Fu Wan's words in a different way.
"Miss Fu is interested in that speedboat?"
"Of course, otherwise how would I bet with them on this speedboat?"
Fu Wan nodded naturally; she had her eye on the brand-new speedboat from the very beginning.
Judging by its appearance, it should be about fifteen meters long. The white hull looks like a motorcycle as it rides the waves on the sea, which is very exciting to watch.
"This boat should have been custom-made by Xu Zhiwei some time ago. It has two diesel engines and can produce up to 1,100 horsepower."
I had heard before that this speedboat was worth around £95,000.
Anyway, their yacht had already set sail by then. Seeing that Fu Wan was interested, He Guohua began to tell her what he knew about the origin of the speedboat in front of them.
"Ninety-five thousand pounds, how many Chinese dollars is that?"
Fu Wan wasn't quite sure about the exchange rate, but Li Zhong instinctively replied, "It should be around 700,000 RMB."
"Seven hundred thousand?"
Even though she knew yachts weren't cheap, Fu Wan was still shocked by the exact number when she heard it.
After the initial surprise came a surge of excitement and anticipation.
Seven hundred thousand Chinese dollars! How many fish would you need to catch to sell for that price if you went out to sea?
He Guoli, that spendthrift son, I only said it casually before, I didn't expect him to actually agree and gamble so much with me.
But judging from He Guohua's current attitude, it seems that 700,000 Chinese dollars is a small amount in their eyes.
Tsk, those wicked rich people! Since that's how it is, then she won't hold back!
