Fu Wan paused in her grip on the knife and looked up.
As expected, it was He Guoli and Xu Zhiwei who had returned. He Guoli's face was full of excitement, and his eyes were full of determination as he looked at the gentian grouper.
With such a large grouper, he could even contact a reporter to get it published in the newspaper. Then he can take the grouper back to share with his father, and the media will definitely report extensively on his love and respect for his father.
He can also take a jab at Ho Kwok-chung and Ho Kwok-wah, a tactic that Ho Kwok-lee is already adept at.
His mother used to do this, and he didn't understand it then, but as his father became nicer to them, he gradually came to understand.
He Shizhang was kind to them partly because He Guoli was his youngest son, born when he was nearly fifty, and partly because it was a show for the media.
He Guoli doesn't care about putting on a show. If putting on a show can guarantee his status at home and always put his other brothers down, then it's okay for him to put on a show all the time.
Over time, He Guoli himself couldn't distinguish when he was putting on a show and when he was being sincere.
For example, with such a large grouper, his first thought was that bringing it back would make his father happy.
Upon hearing this, He Guohua's face immediately darkened. The appearance of this grouper was indeed somewhat related to He Guoli's fishing rod, but it was also He Guoli himself who broke the fishing rod and threw it into the sea.
He wants to pick up what he threw away? Ha, no way!
Before He Guohua could speak, Fu Wan spoke first.
She seemed to have heard something funny and burst out laughing.
"Who was yelling here? It's you, my grandson!"
I thought you'd given up and run away, why are you back?
When He Guoli saw the bloodletting knife still in Fu Wan's hand, his originally righteous voice instantly became a few degrees softer.
"I...I didn't run away. That grouper was originally ours. Do you dare say that the half of the fishing rod you were holding just now wasn't the one I threw away?"
Fu Wan revealed a mysterious smile and spread her hands.
"I didn't expect that not only is Young Master He unable to speak, but his eyesight is also not very good. You said I took your half fishing rod, where is it? I can't see it."
He Guoli peeked out and saw that Fu Wan was nowhere to be seen with a fishing rod.
"I clearly saw it just now, you must have put it somewhere!"
He Guoli panicked immediately. He never expected that Fu Wan would deny that she had picked up his half fishing rod.
"Well, I really didn't see it either. Why don't you come aboard our ship and look for it?"
He Guoli dared not get on Fu Wan's speedboat. Despite his sharp tongue and tendency to argue, his mother had always told him not to get too close to He Guozhong and He Guohua.
These two are much older than him, and Hong Kong is so chaotic. What if they cause an accident and kill Ho Kwok-lee?
This was actually He Guoli's mother's petty-mindedness. The reason was that before He Guoli was even born, she had her family find people to cause trouble for the brothers He Guozhong and He Guohua, hoping to prevent them from inheriting the He family business.
But He Guozhong was already an adult at that time, so how could he not have any tricks up his sleeve?
He retaliated without mercy, and if it weren't for He Shizhang's protection, it's hard to say whether He Guoli would have been born safely.
Moreover, Fu Wan was holding a knife in her hand at this moment. The blade was sharp, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the knife, making He Guoli feel a chill down his spine.
Seeing that He Guoli dared not board the ship, Fu Wan clicked her tongue.
It's a pity, she had already told Fang Min to put away the broken fishing rod. If He Guoli had boarded the boat, he definitely wouldn't have found it.
He Guoli dared not risk boarding the ship, but he felt very uncomfortable watching He Guohua and Fu Wan swallow such a large grouper.
"I don't care, this fish is ours!"
"What are you talking about? Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it is. Why don't you call it and see if it answers?"
Fu Wan answered calmly, and even used seawater to wash the knife she used for bleeding.
The giant grouper is completely dead by now, and even if it weren't completely dead, it wouldn't answer He Guoli's call.
He Guoli was furious, clinging to the side of the boat and pointing at Fu Wan and the others, roaring angrily:
"You're robbers! You're robbing me!"
"What should we do then? Should I call the police for you?"
Fu Wan offered her kind advice, and He Guohua could hardly hide the smile on his face.
Oh my, Miss Fu is so interesting to talk to, he really likes her!
Can the police handle this kind of thing? Of course not.
After all, Ah Cai hunted this grouper from the water, and there were still harpoon wounds on its body!
As for whether it was related to He Guoli's fishing rod, He Guoli couldn't produce any evidence. The more excited he was before, the angrier he was now.
If he hadn't lost his fishing rod, the fish would have been theirs!
But now, all they can do is watch!
Xu Zhiwei was not tall, and even though their speedboat was taller than the one He Guohua had rented, he couldn't see clearly whether He Guoli's fishing rod was on board.
But Ah Wang was a burly man, standing at 1.9 meters tall. Xu Zhiwei gave him a wink, signaling him to look for He Guoli's fishing rod on the boat.
He Guoli's fishing rods are all custom-made by them, and the color is also different from ordinary fishing rods, it is a very rare gold color.
However, after staring at Xu Zhiwei for a long time, Awang could only shake his head in the end.
No, there's no gold on the speedboat.
Xu Zhiwei hesitated for a moment, wondering if his nephew was too fixated on the grouper and had misjudged it.
"Guoli, it's getting late. Why don't we go back? It's not safe at sea. If something happens, I won't be able to explain it to your mother."
Although they brought two bodyguards, He Guohua also had two subordinates, and Fu Wan and Fang Min didn't look like weak women. If He Guoli continued to provoke them like this, Xu Zhiwei was really worried that the other side would attack.
He Guoli didn't want to give up, but he also knew that it was impossible to get the grouper back.
He clenched his fists tightly. He had originally planned to take advantage of the fishing competition to vent his anger, but he didn't expect to get angrier and angrier.
"It's alright, it's alright, Guoli. The official competition is the day after tomorrow. Let's go back and think of a way, and then we'll teach them a lesson!"
Xu Zhiwei tried desperately to persuade He Guoli in a low voice, and He Guoli finally listened to him.
His uncle was right; the most important match was the day after tomorrow, and he needed to go back and plan carefully!
Seeing that He Guoli had finally calmed down, Xu Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to tell Ah Fa to set sail and leave when He Guohua's calm voice came over.
"Xu Sheng, you're an elder, the results of today's fishing competition should be out by now. You have to accept the consequences of your bet, don't think about just walking away!"
"I'm just giving you a friendly reminder: if you dare to renege on your promise, the news of you two going back on your word will be in all the major newspapers in Hong Kong tomorrow morning. Don't say we're bullying you then!"
