"Brother Li, what's going on here? Why didn't you tell me about this happening to the fleet? If I hadn't seen a fishing boat pass by, I wouldn't have known about this at all."
Bai Yu went straight to the captain's cabin, where he saw Brother Li and the first mate, among others.
"See, I told you Mr. Bai would come. Speak of the devil and he shall appear."
"Mr. Bai, we didn't mention it to you because you're participating in a fishing competition and we wanted to ensure your results weren't affected by something like this."
Li Ge and the others seemed to have anticipated Bai Yu's arrival, but Bai Yu arrived a little earlier than they expected.
Actually, it's not fair to blame Brother Li and his crew for misjudging the situation. The main problem was that the captain of the Yuxue 82 boat lacked martial ethics. After hearing the message on the radio that fishing boats were being dispatched, the other side set off immediately, which was then discovered by Bai Yu.
"Hey, Brother Li, you're mistaken. Fishing competitions happen every year, but naval battles don't happen every time, especially when dozens or even hundreds of ships are fighting at the same time. If you miss this one, you never know when you'll get another chance to see it."
Besides, this fishing competition is for our fans. Whether I participate or not, whether I win or not, isn't that important. The prize money can all be shared with the fans, that's fine too. The important thing is this big event, which I absolutely have to participate in.
Although Bai Yu is an athlete, he takes competitive sports and matches very seriously.
However, when faced with the choice between the competition and the water fight with the monkeys, Bai Yu decisively chose the latter.
As he himself said, the fan fishing contest is once a year, but fighting monkeys is not something that happens every year.
Especially now, with both sides sending out fishing boats to fight face-to-face, that's a very rare occurrence.
Moreover, judging from the monkey's words, the current situation is not the final result. Both sides may continue to send ships later, and this time it will be a real big scene.
At this moment, Bai Yu wasn't sure if the monkeys had called for backup, but based on what he knew, they had.
My uncle has already notified the fishing boat company near the competition venue to head there as soon as possible.
If the monkeys keep sending boats, then keep going until they subdue the other side. Anyway, we don't lack fishing boats; the boats from the Fishing and Snow Company are enough for us now.
If the other side doesn't intend to send more ships, then we're going to surround and capture all twenty-odd ships they've sent out.
As for the reasons, they had already come up with them: the monkey's ships illegally invaded our waters, we advised them to leave but they refused, and they even dared to launch an attack on us.
All of the above is recorded. The shipping company is on the side of law. No matter who comes, we can stand tall and say to them: I have damn evidence!
Since that's the case, Bai Yu naturally wanted to get involved. He decisively communicated with Brother Li and asked him to send a small boat to take him to another fishing boat.
Brother Li dared not agree to Bai Yu's request.
Bai Yu's request was a bit too audacious; he wanted to join the battle on another fishing boat, which was not something Brother Li could decide.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the fleet and the monkeys are using water cannons to attack each other, which may seem harmless. In fact, there are many dangers at every turn, and accidents can easily happen.
Firstly, both sides were using water cannons, not water guns, and the power of the two is different; the former is extremely powerful.
Another point is that in the back-and-forth fighting between the two sides, the movement of ships was haphazard, and the entire battlefield was filled with water mist, which obstructed visibility.
One second you might see an empty sea, and the next you might see a ship, and then the two sides have a close encounter.
This is no exaggeration. Almost an hour has passed since the fight started, and the two sides have already had at least ten collisions.
The worst incident happened when one of Bai Yu's fishing boats rammed directly into Monkey's boat, causing a large dent in its hull.
If neither of them were traveling at a very high speed, the impact at that angle could easily have knocked the other over.
Even so, the opposing fishing boats were forced to leave the battlefield and were then surrounded by the fleet of ships watching from the sidelines.
Want to back out? Not so easy. Even if the other side is injured, not a single one of their ships can leave without the fleet's permission.
At the same time, because the battle was quite intense and something unexpected could happen at any moment, Brother Li didn't dare to agree to Bai Yu's request.
If you let him lead a boatload of crew up there and start fighting, Brother Li would definitely charge forward without hesitation, without even batting an eye.
But Bai Yu is different; he is the company's CEO and the core of their company, and he cannot afford any accidents to happen to him.
Unfortunately, Brother Li was ultimately just the captain of a fishing boat, while Bai Yu was the boss, and his words carried the final say.
Then, left with no other choice, Brother Li had to use the radio to call a speedboat for Bai Yu and set off with him.
Since he couldn't control Bai Yu, Brother Li decided to go with Bai Yu. At least with him there, if any unexpected events occurred, he could stand in front of Bai Yu.
Before long, the two of them appeared on the deck of the fishing boat Yuxue 56, which was the closest available vessel to No. 23.
When Bai Yu arrived at fishing boat number 56, he discovered that the captain of the boat was also an old acquaintance of his, Brother Huang, one of the company's first veteran crew members.
When he first joined the company a few years ago, he was just an ordinary crew member. Now, a few years later, he has become a captain.
However, Brother Huang is currently only a trainee captain, serving as captain with the rank of first mate. He will have to wait until he obtains his captain's license to become a full captain.
Seeing that these were all old acquaintances, Bai Yu didn't say much and simply waved his hand, saying, "Let's go, come with me to take down those monkeys!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
