"Alright, now that we've rescued the person, let's hurry back!"
He Guohua glanced at the time. They should have already reached the shore and won the championship at this time, but now they still have to drive for an hour to get back to Queen's Pier.
With no more excitement to watch, Ah Cai responded and turned to walk towards the driver's seat. Fu Wan glanced at the sea, feeling that something was still amiss.
It was already past six o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark, and the late autumn sea breeze was a bit chilly.
Bai Qianzhou grabbed a coat and walked over. Seeing Fu Wan still leaning against the side of the boat looking out at the sea, he frowned and advised, "Wan, it's getting windy. Put your coat on!"
Fu Wan responded. She had been grappling with the tuna and had sweated a lot. Now that the wind was blowing, she felt a bit cold.
She had just put on her clothes when she suddenly heard a faint cry for help.
"Help...help..."
That's strange, where did that sound come from?
Fu Wan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the wind had picked up and the waves on the sea had become much bigger. In addition, Ah Cai had restarted the speedboat, and the huge horsepower was stirring up the seawater.
"Bai Qianzhou, have you heard someone shouting for help?"
Bai Qianzhou listened for a few seconds, then shook his head blankly.
"No."
Fang Min shook her head as well, "I didn't hear it either, Awan, are you sure you heard correctly?"
Fu Wan couldn't believe her ears. "Ah Cai, Ah Cai! Stop the speedboat for a second!"
Seeing this, Li Zhong hurriedly ran to tell Ah Cai to stop the boat.
Once the engine stopped, all that remained was the sound of the waves crashing against each other.
Just as He Guohua was about to say something, suddenly, several cries for help came from the sea breeze.
Although the sound was faint, not only Fu Wan, but also Bai Qianzhou and Fang Min heard it.
"Wait, someone is definitely shouting for help!"
He Guohua looked bewildered. "Strange, weren't He Guoli and the others already rescued by the rescue team? How come there are still people in the sea?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhong couldn't help but rub his arms. There was nothing he could do; on the sea late at night, the sudden sound of cries for help that sounded like ghosts would give anyone goosebumps.
"Wait, Mr. He, how many people were on their boat? Were they all rescued?"
Fu Wan turned to look at He Guohua, who frowned and tried hard to recall. He had just seen clearly that He Guoli and He Guosheng were definitely on the rescue ship.
Xu Zhiwei was with He Guoli at the time, and even Lucas and David were pulled onto the boat. Logically, there should have been no one else there.
"Wait, that bastard Awang, didn't he get on the ship?"
Ah Cai suddenly shouted loudly, and He Guohua's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, we forgot Awang! Oh dear, is that kid still soaking in the water?!"
Knowing that there were indeed people still in the water, the people on the boat could not stand idly by.
Although they were on different sides, Ah Wong was a typical working-class person, and it was probably because of his working-class identity that Ho Kwok-lee and his group forgot that he hadn't boarded the ship yet.
There were flashlights on the boat, and everyone quickly took them out and began searching for Ah Wang at sea.
Ah Wang is actually younger than Ah Cai. He's not a bad person, otherwise he wouldn't have waited patiently at the dock with the speedboat key for Fu Wan that day.
"Help……"
"Help...me..."
The faint cries for help came again, and this time, Fu Wan heard them clearly.
Southwest!
The sound was coming from the southwest!
Fu Wan picked up a flashlight and strode to the southwest of the speedboat, then tried again to search the sea for a figure that resembled Awang.
The sea is filled with rolling waves, and spray bursts of water on the black surface. If the sea during the day is like a gentle and refined scholar, then the sea at night is a flammable and explosive black-faced fugitive.
Because darkness intensifies fear, seawater cools the body, and fish and shrimp, which humans normally consider food, become restless in the darkness, waiting to devour the floating humans.
Even under these circumstances, Fu Wan still spotted Awang.
He was lying on a white fish tank, bobbing up and down with the waves.
He could only utter faint cries for help from time to time, which showed that he was in very poor condition.
"Ah Cai, over there! Quickly, drive the speedboat that way!"
Upon hearing this, Ah Cai picked up his flashlight and shone it in the direction Fu Wan pointed, but he still couldn't see Ah Wang's shadow.
Fine, let's listen to Miss Fu!
He simply tossed the flashlight aside, then accelerated and drove in the direction Fu Wan pointed.
When Fu Wan mentioned the southwest, everyone gathered around.
The speedboat traveled a full fifty meters before Awang's figure finally appeared before everyone's eyes.
Seeing this, Ah Cai quickly stopped the speedboat, and Li Zhong and Bai Qianzhou worked together to pull the already dying Ah Wang from the water onto the boat.
"Awang, Awang, are you alright, kid?"
Ah Wang struggled to open his eyes, and when he saw Ah Cai, He Guohua, and their group of people, he relaxed, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Seeing this, Bai Qianzhou quickly checked on Awang and found that his breathing was normal. He then instructed Acai and Li Zhong to change Awang's wet clothes and put two spare clothes from the speedboat on him.
Fortunately, the person didn't have any bleeding wounds. Bai Qianzhou looked around and saw only a few bruises, which would probably be fine after wiping them with medicinal wine when they got back to shore.
After rescuing the person, the group drove the speedboat back.
A few minutes after it started, Awang woke up.
Because of Bai Qianzhou's suggestion, He Guohua generously poured a cup of hot water from his thermos into Awang's cup.
Holding the scalding hot water, and seeing the concern on the faces of those around him, the 1.9-meter-tall man almost burst into tears.
Good heavens, when he was being chased by the marlin, he really thought he was going to die. He never expected to be so lucky and still be alive on the boat!
"Awang, what exactly happened on your ship?"
Seeing that some color had returned to Awang's pale face, Fu Wan couldn't help but ask curiously.
Li Zhong and He Guohua looked over upon hearing this, clearly also wanting to know the answer to the question.
Seeing this, Awang opened his mouth but instinctively didn't want to say anything.
But the people in front of him were his saviors. They had saved his life without asking for anything in return. Now they just wanted to know what had happened, and it would be too ungrateful of him not to tell them.
Awang took a few more sips of hot water from his cup before slowly recounting what had happened on the boat.
"We were tricked by the marlin. Before the young master could bleed the fish after pulling it up, Miss Fu... Miss Fu caught the golden threadfin. The young master was angry and only then did he think of venting his anger, no, only then did he think of bleeding the fish."
With his slash, the marlins suddenly came to life. If I hadn't reacted quickly and pulled him aside, the young master would have been stabbed by the marlin on the spot!
