On another boat, five people watched from a distance, not even bothering to catch the fish on the surface of the sea.
They all stared nervously in the direction of the Rising Sun, listening to the sounds coming from there, as well as the intermittent gunfire.
Their hearts clenched with every attack of the great white shark.
Especially the two elderly fathers, Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing, were almost worried to death.
Feng Jiaqing gripped the gunwale tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
He prayed softly, "May Mazu protect them, keep them safe and sound..."
Feng Jialing was similar, muttering prayers to Mazu.
If anything were to happen to the people on board the Rising Sun, it would be an unbearable burden for them.
Time ticked by, and the anxiety on the ship grew heavier and heavier.
They felt powerless because they were unable to offer any help.
Not only that, they also had to stay far away to prevent the great white shark from shifting its attack target to their ship.
Finally, after a tense wait, they saw the stern of the Rising Sun calm down.
Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing exchanged a glance, both seeing a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.
This could mean that the threat from the great white shark has been eliminated.
Feng Jiaqing took a deep breath: "Let's go, let's sail over and take a look. The great white shark might already be dead."
"good."
Feng Jialing nodded.
They immediately started the ship and cautiously approached the Rising Sun.
As they approached the Rising Sun, they saw a huge great white shark lying motionless on the aft deck.
There were also Xiao Guowen and his two companions slumped on the deck, Feng Ye holding a gun but not daring to fire, and A-Can stabbing the great white shark with a long bamboo pole.
Their hearts were in their throats as they nervously stared at the great white shark.
Although I knew in my heart that the great white shark was most likely dead, I was still afraid that it would suddenly jump up and attack again.
Are you alright?
"fine."
Feng Ye and the other four all shook their heads in unison.
If anything happened, the only serious incident was when Xiao Guowen and the others were thrown by the great white shark; some of them only suffered minor scrapes.
But it was just a superficial wound, and there was only a little bleeding; it wasn't a big problem.
"It's good that you're all alright."
Everyone on the boat breathed a sigh of relief. Feng Jiaqing then asked, "Was the great white shark killed?"
"I think he's completely dead."
As Ah-Can spoke, he poked at it again with a bamboo pole.
"Don't be hasty in drawing conclusions; let's wait and see."
Feng Ye remained vigilant, not daring to relax his guard in the slightest.
"Yes, with such a big size, you can't be too careful."
"Just in case, it's okay to wait a little longer."
Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing both agreed with Feng Ye's opinion, believing that it would be best to observe for a while longer.
Although they had seen the great white shark up close once before, and two of them even went into the water to tie a rope around it and touch it, seeing it again still left them in awe.
"With such a big size, it must weigh two or three thousand pounds, right?"
"There should be."
Xiao Guowen grinned and said, "Just now, the three of us used hooks to grab this fish's mouth, and even with all our strength, we couldn't pull it down. It was very strong, and it exhausted us."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Feng Jiaqing and his four companions were greatly surprised.
They were quite far away before, so they couldn't see Xiao Guowen and the other two's movements clearly, nor did they pay attention to them; their attention was all on the Great White Shark.
Upon hearing Xiao Guowen's words, they realized that a long hook had been inserted into the great white shark's mouth.
"You guys are too reckless! How could you act so recklessly? A great white shark is that big; how could the three of you possibly hold it back..."
Feng Jiaqing's tone carried a hint of reproach.
"At the time, I didn't think much about it. I just wanted to control it so that Ah Ye could aim at its eyes and shoot. Who knew it was so strong? The three of us couldn't control it."
"Then you should let go quickly. If you are pulled into the water, it will be dangerous."
"Isn't everything alright?"
Xiao Guowen gave an awkward laugh.
"Nothing wrong? What if something happens? How am I supposed to explain this to your parents if something happens to you?"
Feng Jiaqing said angrily, "You were all fine when I brought you out, how am I supposed to explain this to your parents when we get back?"
"Do you expect me to tell your parents, 'Your son was eaten by a great white shark, and there's no trace of him left?' Ah..."
He turned his attention to Feng Ye and yelled, "And you! How are you in charge? What are you good for?"
"They are the boatmen you hired, and you just watched them work so recklessly, without even telling them to let go..."
Feng Ye rolled his eyes.
It wasn't me who told them to do it, so why are you blaming yourself?
Of course, this couldn't be said aloud; it could only be grumbled in one's heart.
He could only helplessly explain, "I panicked back then, and all I was thinking about was getting rid of this big guy as quickly as possible. Besides, aren't we all fine?"
"All you know is 'all right'? What if something happens? Can you afford to pay for it? You couldn't afford to pay for it even if you sold everything you own..."
Ah Can couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Feng Ye shrinking back like a quail after being scolded.
Feng Jiaqing glared at him: "What are you laughing at? Don't you have any responsibility?"
"You own 25% of the shares in the Rising Sun. Does that mean you won't have to pay compensation if something goes wrong?"
Ah-chan's smile froze on his face.
He wanted to slap himself. What was he laughing at?
Now look what happened, I've become the one being lectured.
"I...I..."
He shrank back, his smile fading, but then he was speechless for a moment, unsure how to defend himself.
"You..."
Feng Jialing shook his head, his expression conveying a sense of disappointment and frustration.
He then turned to his brother and said, “Alright, Third Brother, calm down. You’ve already yelled at them. It’s good that no one is hurt. They will definitely learn their lesson.”
The other three people standing nearby also tried to persuade him.
As for the five people on the Rising Sun, they naturally cowered like quails, not daring to utter a single word.
If I dared to say even one more word, I would definitely get a severe scolding.
Feng Jiaqing also knew that since the matter had already happened, there was no point in blaming anyone.
"In the future, you should think more before you act and pay more attention to your own safety. Don't be so reckless."
Feng Jiaqing's tone softened somewhat, but the implication of a reprimand remained clear.
"Understood, Father (Third Uncle, Uncle-in-law...)."
Feng Ye and Xiao Guowen answered in unison, but they addressed each other differently.
