Ah Wang couldn't help but feel a little resentful after he finished speaking. Although protecting He Guoli was his duty, he only had one life. He Guoli even forgot that he hadn't boarded the ship after being rescued, which made him feel very disheartened.
If he hadn't met Fu Wan and the others, he probably would have been stuck at sea feeding the fish.
Now that he had started talking, Awang decided to explain everything clearly.
Fu Wan then learned the truth: He Guoli and He Guosheng were so jealous when they saw Fu Wan catch a golden croaker that their eyes turned red.
No matter how jealous or envious she was, the fact remained that Fu Wan had caught a fish.
In a fit of rage, He Guoli turned around and took his anger out on the marlin he had just caught.
Strangely enough, the marlins didn't move much after being pulled onto the boat. It wasn't until He Guoli picked up his knife and walked over that the largest marlin suddenly sprang up, shooting towards He Guoli like an arrow.
But Ah Wong reacted quickly and pulled Ho Kwok Lee aside.
But at that moment, the other marlins also started to riot. Although the upper jaw of the marlin is shorter than that of the swordfish, as a member of the sailfish family, its killing power is still formidable.
Lucas David was caught off guard and fell into the water in fright by the marlin.
Seeing that something was wrong, He Guosheng didn't think about picking up anything to save people. Instead, he prepared to run to the speedboat to escape. However, in his panic, he didn't pay attention to the structure of the speedboat's driver's seat. He slammed on the accelerator and brake at the same time, causing the speedboat to capsize.
The consequence was that everyone on the boat fell into the water, and Fu Wan and the others knew what happened next.
After listening to Ah Wang's words, He Guohua couldn't help but frown and shake his head. He Guoli's ship was full of stupid people. It was a pity that He Guozhong wasn't here, otherwise he would definitely be laughed at by these people for their stupidity.
An hour later, the speedboat finally arrived at Queen's Pier.
Fu Wan thought that since it was already evening, the dock should only be filled with contestants, but as soon as she got off the boat, she found that the square not far away was packed with people, even more than in the afternoon.
Moreover, the Queen's Wharf was brightly lit at this time, almost as bright as daytime.
"Young Master He, how was the haul from your ship number eighteen?"
As soon as the group disembarked, reporters carrying equipment surrounded them.
He Guohua smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, it will definitely surprise you!"
These words caused the reporters to exchange glances, and they immediately turned to signal the photographer to point the camera in the direction of the speedboat.
Soon, the organizer's inspectors arrived again, and in the presence of reporters and surrounding citizens, Fu Wan and her companions carried their spoils off the boat one by one.
"Wow, eagle pomfret, what a beautiful eagle pomfret!"
"Am I seeing things? That's a tuna? Holy crap, a bigeye tuna, a threadfin tuna! Is this really a fish caught by a female angler?"
"Tsk, if it wasn't a female angler who caught it, did you catch it? Oh my, look, there's even an Emperor Star Spotted Chicken, a Blue Marlin, and hey, what's that covered up in the back?"
The fish they had seen so far were quite impressive that the reporters were already a bit stunned. But when they saw the last fish covered by a burlap sack, their instincts immediately told them that something extraordinary was about to happen.
"Miss Fu, why don't you reveal the secret of this fish to everyone yourself?"
He Guohua waved and said with a smile.
At this moment, He Guozhong also came over.
Not only that, but also high-ranking officials from the Hong Kong government. In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Fu Wan.
He Guozhong and the high-ranking officials already knew that Fu Wan had caught a golden croaker. After all, the two police inspectors had already returned to the dock with the rescue team's speedboat, and they certainly had to report this in advance.
He Guozhong nodded to Fu Wan in encouragement. Fu Wan was not intimidated at all, and under everyone's gaze, she unhesitatingly opened the covered snakeskin bag.
"Damn it, golden croaker!"
"Really?! A golden croaker?!"
"No way, are there really golden croakers in the waters off Gangcheng? Could this lady have bought this fish to scam people?"
Upon hearing this, He Guohua immediately became displeased.
“We were all on the boat when Miss Fu went fishing, and the police officers were also there. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll send you a lawyer’s letter!”
The person who said that immediately shut his mouth, but the surrounding discussions and exclamations never stopped, and some people even wanted to squeeze forward to try out the feel of the golden croaker.
Upon seeing this, the senior leaders in charge of the competition quickly raised their hands to signal everyone to calm down.
"Everyone, please don't get excited. This is indeed a genuine golden croaker. Therefore, the champion of this competition will definitely be Miss Fu, representing the He family."
Everyone, please head back now. As for the golden croaker, it will be auctioned tomorrow morning. Those interested are welcome to attend.
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan merely raised an eyebrow. She had already guessed that the yellow croaker would be auctioned off, but she hadn't expected that the decision would be announced directly by the leader who organized the fishing competition.
Judging from He Guozhong's completely unsurprised expression, he must have known all along.
However, Fu Wan didn't care about all that. As long as the money was there, whoever wanted to do with the fish could do with it.
"Miss Fu, it's getting late. Let Ahua take you to eat first. You've had a hard day."
He Guozhong extended his hand, and Fu Wan smiled and shook it.
"It's no trouble at all. I'll leave the rest to Mr. He."
He Guozhong nodded. The rest was naturally about dealing with the reporters and those who had designs on the fish.
There are many wealthy people in the port city, and golden cod is already rare, but such a fresh and large golden cod is even more of a once-in-a-century find.
Before Fu Wan and the others even reached the shore, five or six people had already called He Guozhong.
Not only these people, but even some of the leaders who organized the competition had their eyes on this golden croaker.
Therefore, He Guozhong decided to go with the flow and simply hold a small auction for the golden croaker.
With the golden croaker already caught, the other fish caught by the contestants paled in comparison.
But none of them felt regretful; they hadn't lost out by losing to the Golden Snapper.
Besides, they could take the fish they caught back with them, so they just treated it as a chartered boat trip.
But when the anglers in Hong Kong learned that the champion angler was not only a mainland Chinese but also a woman, they were all in an uproar.
Fortunately, Fu Wan and He Guohua left quickly. By the time these people realized who Fu Wan was and wanted to see who she was, Fu Wan had already arrived at He Guohua's private restaurant.
"Haha, my brother must have a lot of social engagements tonight, so we won't wait for him." He Guohua was beaming, unable to contain his smile.
"Ah Cai, Mr. Li, quickly have someone take these fish to the kitchen and have them process them using their best methods. Tonight, I'm going to drink until we drop with Miss Fu, Mr. Bai, and Miss Fang!"
"Okay, all done!"
Ah Cai loudly agreed and then called out to the restaurant staff to go out and move the fish.
The restaurant staff hadn't received news of Fu Wan's victory yet, but when they saw the fish in the car, the head chef's eyes lit up.
"This eagle pomfret is absolutely gorgeous! Steamed or pan-fried, it would be absolutely amazing!"
