"Ah Wan, isn't that person...?"
Before Fu Ming could finish speaking, Xue Qing had already noticed the commotion and stood up straight, as if waiting for Fu Wan to come over.
Fu Wan lowered her eyes and whispered to comfort Fu Ming: "It's okay, brother. Now is the time to crack down on organized crime. In broad daylight, he wouldn't dare to do anything."
It's about our help with the salvage operation at sea for the camp. Be careful not to let it slip.
Back in the capital, Xue Qing had been involved with the Japanese. Now that he's come to Fu Family Village, Fu Wan has a vague feeling that it's probably related to the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea.
She had helped the camp with the salvage operation, but apart from the village chief, not many people in the village knew about it.
Even the village chief, Fu, only knew that Fu Wan had helped the camp, but he didn't know what they had brought back from the seabed.
Forget it, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. No matter how crazy Xue Qing is, he's still on Fujia Village's territory.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, it's been a long time!"
Seeing Fu Wan get out of the car, Xue Qing quickly went to greet her.
Fu Wan's face remained expressionless. "What brings Comrade Xue to our village?"
Xue Qing wanted to shake hands with Fu Wan to show goodwill, but Fu Wan took two steps to the side and avoided him.
Fu Ming and Fu Liang stayed close to their sister, fearing that Xue Qing might suddenly go crazy.
Xue Qing wasn't annoyed that the handshake didn't go through.
He glanced at the tricycle parked beside him and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk, Comrade Fu is really something. I haven't seen him for a few months, and he's already bought a tricycle."
Seeing this, Fu Ming quickly added, "This was bought with borrowed money."
Fu Wan retorted directly, "Comrade Xue, why don't you get straight to the point? What brings you to my house?"
Just as Xue Qing was about to reply, the tightly closed gate of Fu Laoda's courtyard was opened, and Fu Laoda, the village chief, and Fu Laoda came out.
"Ah Wan, you're back?"
Fu Wan nodded, while Xue Qing spread his hands, still somewhat unhappy, and said, "Comrade Fu, be the judge. I've come all this way to your village and even settled the wages for those people."
"You just shut the door and didn't even give me a chance to have a glass of water?"
Boss Fu didn't give him any face and snorted coldly.
"Xue Qing, where's that Japanese guy you just brought with you?"
"We do not welcome islanders here...and their lackeys!"
Fu Laoda's words were like a slap in the face to Xue Qing.
Old Village Chief Fu, being quite old, immediately stepped in to smooth things over.
"Hey, Comrade Xue, you just came over saying you were waiting for A-Wan to come back. Now that she's back, what's up?"
This person was actually waiting for me to come back?
Alarm bells rang in Fu Wan's mind.
Aside from Xue Qing's interest in her swimming skills, she couldn't think of anything else.
Sure enough, the next second, Xue Qing waved to the car not far away, and a figure opened the car door and got out.
Fu Wan looked in the direction and immediately recognized the man as the Japanese man who had appeared at the auction in the capital.
"Mr. Kujii is interested in your waters, so we would like to rent your boat to go out to sea."
Of course, besides that, it would be best if Comrade Xiao Fu could come out to sea with us; we'll pay you 100 yuan a day.
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan felt that her guess had been confirmed.
What are you going out to sea for?
Fu Wan did not refuse immediately, but instead tried to get information out of them to see how much they knew about the underwater world.
“My beautiful lady, my grandfather encountered a storm in these waters, and his ship sank. Something important to our family also went down with him.”
So I'd like to ask for your help to see if you can find it.
Fu Wan sneered inwardly, but showed no sign of it on her face.
These words are spoken with sincerity. As for what family property it is, I have no idea when the Imperial Seal and those porcelain pieces came to belong to the island nation.
If you don't know what the sunken ship contained, you might actually be fooled by what they said.
"I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling well lately. So I'm not planning to go out to sea. Besides, our boat is just an ordinary fishing boat, and it's been in operation for many years and is quite dilapidated. Renting it to Mr. Kujii might not be suitable."
Fu Wan refused outright. Xue Qing had already expected her to refuse, but he didn't expect her to be so blunt.
Jiujing didn't expect anyone to refuse a hundred yuan a day's wages. In China today, one hundred yuan is more than half a year's wages for an ordinary person.
Seeing his daughter refuse, Boss Fu immediately realized that the two men were after the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea.
Although the shipwreck is still at the bottom of the sea, Fu Wan and her comrades in the camp have taken away all the valuables and sent them to the central government.
Now that the islanders are coming over, isn't this the perfect opportunity to catch them red-handed?
"It's really unfortunate that Comrade Xiao Fu is not in good health. However, we will definitely go out to sea, but let's hope that we don't run into your ship again after we've already set sail, that would be quite awkward."
Xue Qing's words were sarcastic and insinuating, and Fu Ming immediately wanted to punch him.
Fu Wan grabbed him and turned to make way for him.
"Comrade Xue, you'd better leave quickly. I won't be going to sea anytime soon, and whether you go to sea or not is none of my business."
The aquaculture experts will arrive in the next couple of days, and she'll have to learn aquaculture techniques from them.
As for Xue Qing, she didn't want these people to cause trouble in the waters near her home. Thinking back to how they had provoked great white sharks to attack fishermen in the past, she didn't know what kind of trouble they would cause this time.
Seeing that Fu Wan's family had their unwelcome written all over their faces, Xue Qing was so angry that he turned around and left with Jiu Jinghong.
"Sang Xue, shall we go out to sea?"
Xue Qing said coldly, "It's alright, if she doesn't go to sea, there are plenty of people who will."
Money makes the world go round, and there are quite a few good swimmers around here.
Fu Wan, with her sharp ears, naturally heard Xue Qing's words.
She gazed thoughtfully at the car in the distance, then turned and spoke to Old Master Fu:
"Dad, you guys drive the car in first, I'm going to the village committee with the village chief."
Boss Fu thought they had encountered difficulties in handling the contracting of the sea area, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then come back soon."
When Village Chief Fu saw that Xue Qing and the others had finally left, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah Wan, it looks like things are about to get chaotic in the village again!"
"Village Chief, please tell everyone that it's best to go out to sea in groups these days, and if you encounter any unfamiliar vessels, try to stay away from them."
I wonder what tricks Xue Qing and his gang will come up with.
Village Chief Fu sighed, "The justice of heaven is clear, is there no one who can control them?"
The current maritime control laws are not yet perfect, so basically anyone with the guts can go out to sea under the guise of fishing, and indeed no one can control them.
But if we can catch him red-handed in the act of salvaging the sunken ship, then the matter will be resolved.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan quickly walked into the village committee, picked up the phone, and dialed the camp's number.
"Hello. I'm looking for Leader Sun Shao-ping."
