Ah-Cai wore a diving suit simply because He Guohua was worried that the speedboat they rented was prone to rocking, and he could rescue someone in time if they fell into the water.
However, Fu Wan also realized that A Cai was definitely the best swimmer.
After all, Li Zhong almost threw up after boarding the ship, which shows he was a novice at sea.
After Fu Wan's encouraging words, A Cai was genuinely moved.
He turned to look at Ho Kwok-wah, who was Ho Kwok-wah's driver and bodyguard. He needed Ho Kwok-wah's permission to go anywhere.
He Guohua nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Since Miss Fu says so, then you should go!"
"Ah Cai, show some of the spirit of your fishing family! Whether you succeed or not, I'll give you a two-month bonus when you come back!"
What could excite a worker more than a bonus? When Ah Cai heard that he could experience fishing and receive two more months' worth of bonuses, he was immediately filled with excitement. Without saying a word, he picked up a harpoon and jumped into the water.
"Ah Cai, remember, after you poke the fish, back away quickly, don't get bumped into by the grouper!"
Fu Wan loudly warned, based on the glimpse she had just seen, that the giant grouper on the seabed weighed at least twenty pounds and must be quite strong.
If Ah Cai gets hit by it, there's a good chance he'll suffer internal injuries.
"Okay, I understand!"
Ah Cai, floating on the surface, shouted his agreement, then picked up the harpoon and slowly descended.
Seeing this scene from not far away, the impotent and furious He Guoli couldn't help but feel puzzled.
What happened? Why did they let Ah Cai go into business?
Could it be that there are still fish to catch at the bottom of the sea?
Unable to win the game no matter what, He Guoli simply gave up and turned to instruct Ah Fa, who was steering the boat.
"Drive over there, let's go see what's going on!"
He wanted to go and see what these people were up to!
Xu Zhiwei had no interest in watching the spectacle at this moment. He held the fishing rod reluctantly in his hand, still trying to make a last-ditch effort.
If I manage to catch a golden tuna, I might even be able to beat Fu Wan and the others!
He didn't care about being called grandpa or grandma; this was his speedboat's first time out to sea, and if he lost, the boat would no longer belong to the Fu family!
Xu Zhiwei was on the verge of tears, but since the bet was made by his own nephew, he couldn't refuse.
He now only regretted not preparing in advance. If he had known that this young master was going to compete with Fu Wan and He Guohua in fishing, he would have bought some rare fish from the fish market and had someone put them in the water and hook them up.
Although it was cheating, they were so far away that Fu Wan and the others couldn't see it anyway!
Unfortunately, Xu Zhiwei couldn't figure out how to keep his speedboat after thinking for a long time. He could only pin his hopes on his and Awang's fishing rods and hope for a miracle.
But miracles don't happen so easily; let alone a golden tuna, there wasn't even a single golden pomfret.
To be precise, they haven't caught a single fish since He Guoli broke his fishing rod and threw it into the sea!
I've never even caught a fish the size of my palm!
There was no sign of the bait being bitten, so Xu Zhiwei had no choice but to follow his nephew and focus his attention on Fu Wan and the others.
After Ah Cai descended, he saw the gentian grouper with almost no effort.
Although he knew it was a large grouper, Ah Cai couldn't help but get excited when he saw it with his own eyes.
I almost dropped the harpoon in my hand.
My God, what a giant grouper! He had never seen such a large live grouper in the sea before!
The thought of fighting back against the grouper made Ah Cai's blood rush to his head.
He was the son of a fisherman. Fishermen in the port city didn't earn much money, so his parents were very strict with him from a young age, hoping that he could walk a different path from his family.
But Ah Cai wasn't good at studying. The stricter his family was, the more rebellious he became. During his school years, he skipped school to go fishing and diving, and he even learned to fight from a group of young people.
On one occasion, when he was on his way home, he rescued He Guohua, who had been beaten up, in an alley. He Guozhong saw that he was young and righteous, and that he was unwilling to study, so he arranged for him to learn driving and martial arts.
In the process of training Ah Cai, He Guozhong also thoroughly investigated Ah Cai's family background. After observing him for several years and finding that Ah Cai was not a problem, he allowed him to continue working for He Guohua.
This continued for eight years.
For the past eight years, even though he drove luxury cars and wore suits every day, Ah Cai's happiest moments were still fishing and diving.
This was his childhood pleasure, and it's also how he relaxes now that he's grown up.
"Ah Cai, seize the opportunity and make your move!"
Seeing that Ah Cai didn't move, Fu Wan called out softly.
At the same time, she tugged slightly on the fishing line, trying to distract the grouper.
Ah Cai seemed to wake from a dream, then shook his head and rushed forward.
What's wrong with me? How could I get distracted at such an important moment!
Fortunately, Miss Fu reminded him, otherwise he might not have been able to hold on and the grouper might have run away.
Ah Cai was a good swimmer and immediately approached the gentian grouper silently, like a fish.
The giant grouper was desperately trying to burrow into the rocky cave, but the entrance was clearly too small for it to fit through.
Not only that, it didn't swallow the demon head knife completely either; half of it was still in the mouth of the gentian grouper, and a small part was still outside.
Ah Cai boldly guessed that the fish must have eaten too much and gotten a knife stuck in its throat.
Tsk tsk, that's why my family taught me from a young age not to eat too fiercely!
It seems that even if I don't get off, this giant grouper might choke to death.
Ah Cai calculated in his mind, and then seized the opportunity. Taking advantage of the grouper's inattention, he raised the harpoon in his hand and stabbed it fiercely under the grouper's gills.
Actually, he wanted to gouge the eyes, but he was afraid that his skills wouldn't be up to par after not practicing for so long, so he could only set his sights on the area under the gills.
The harpoon was something Ah Cai got on the side when he rented the boat. He specifically chose the sharpest harpoon at the time. Now that it had been thrust at, the giant grouper was in pain and struggled violently.
Fu Wan felt the pull on the fishing rod and quickly adjusted her position. With such great strength, if the grouper broke free of the line and ran away, they would have no choice but to accept their fate.
But I don't know where He Guoli bought the fishing line, the quality was so good, even when the giant grouper was pulled and tugged, the fishing line didn't break.
"Miss Fu, boss, I hit it! I hit it!"
Ah Cai surfaced, not even having time to wipe the water off his face, and excitedly shouted to Fu Wan and the others.
Fu Wan gave him a thumbs up. Seeing that Fu Wan was still holding the fishing rod, Ah Cai immediately threw down a sentence and returned to the sea.
"This fish still has energy, I'll go down and check on it!"
When he swam back to the vicinity of the giant grouper, the surrounding seawater had been churned up by the giant grouper and was extremely turbid.
Ah Cai spent a lot of effort to find that the giant grouper had turned over, belly up, with only its tail still twitching slightly.
It was clearly half-dead.
Ah Cai was overjoyed and immediately rubbed his hands together to suppress his excitement as he swam forward again.
Hehe, Miss Fu didn't have a reel and couldn't reel in the line, so he simply grabbed the harpoon and pushed the fish up, giving them a big surprise!
