Chapter 686 Settling Accounts and Claims



Then, Feng Ye started the machine and maneuvered the Dong Sheng to turn 180 degrees and slowly approach the yacht.

At this moment, the people on the yacht saw the Dong Sheng approaching on its own initiative, and their expressions varied.

Some people looked delighted, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope for rescue.

Others looked uneasy, worried about what kind of blame they would face next.

After all, they were in the wrong first.

Nearly an hour has passed; even the most clueless person should realize they've made a mistake.

Moreover, none of them are foolish.

They simply lacked experience in going to sea and the ability to respond to unexpected situations.

The Dong Sheng slowly came to a stop next to the yacht.

Feng Ye, along with A-Can, Ye Chenliang, and Du Yulin, boarded the yacht with serious expressions.

When the people on the yacht saw them, some were nervous, some were embarrassed, and others looked completely innocent.

In short, everyone was silent and trembling, and no one dared to step forward and speak to them.

They're not usually like this; they rely on their family's wealth and power to cause trouble even when they're being unreasonable.

However, at this moment, none of them dared to show it.

Because their lives were in the hands of others on this vast ocean, this ship was their only lifeline.

If you anger people and then abandon them, things could get really bad.

Feng Ye glanced at the four men and two women and asked in a cold voice, "Who was driving the boat just now? Step forward!"

A young man in a floral shirt stepped forward hesitantly: "I...I drove it."

"Didn't anyone tell you that fishing boats shouldn't get too close together when they're operating?"

"I...I don't know."

Feng Ye looked at the other five people: "You guys don't know either?"

Everyone else shook their heads, looking completely bewildered.

"Don't you know? You bunch of guys, didn't you do any research before setting sail? You don't even have this much common sense, yet you dare to come out to sea?"

Feng Ye was speechless with frustration.

Grass!

They really are a bunch of complete novices.

"Here's a tip for you: when you encounter other ships at sea, it's best to maintain a safe distance of at least 200 meters."

Especially fishing boats, stay as far away as possible.

In particular, it is strictly forbidden to walk behind fishing boats that are currently in operation.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, we really didn't know, we'll definitely be more careful next time."

"There will be a next time?"

Feng Ye glared at them and said irritably, "Thinking about next time? This matter isn't over yet!"

"Tell me, you broke the tow rope on our fishing net, how are you going to compensate us?"

Although he had already decided to take the bluefin tuna they caught, he still pretended to be interested.

However, Ah-chan, who was standing to the side, was getting a little anxious.

He pointed to the bluefin tuna hanging there: "I think it would be good to use it as compensation."

This caused not only the young man in the floral shirt to change his expression, but also the other five people.

They had worked so hard to catch that fish, and it took them a lot of effort to haul it onto the boat. It was the fish they were proud to show off on this fishing trip, and they didn't want to give it away as compensation.

Moreover, they didn't think the broken cable was worth much money.

"no."

A young man in a short-sleeved T-shirt refused without hesitation.

"No, that won't do. How much is your so-called torpedo worth? You want us to compensate you with tuna? You're being too greedy!"

"Exactly, even a whole fishing net shouldn't cost that much, right?"

"We'll compensate you more money, but not this tuna."

"Here's 100 yuan, that should be enough, right?"

The others each chimed in with their own comments.

Even the young man in the floral shirt said, "This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ye almost laughed out of anger.

Are these guys genuinely clueless or just pretending?

You actually think you can just get rid of me with a hundred dollars?

Dream on!

He said coldly, "Do you really think a hundred dollars can solve the problem?"

When the young man heard that Feng Ye's tone was off, he panicked and forced himself to ask, "Then... how many do you want?"

Before Feng Ye could speak, A-Can interrupted, "Enough nonsense. Give us that tuna as compensation, or we're not done with you."

Ye Chenliang and Du Yulin echoed this sentiment:

"Yes, I want that tuna."

"You made this mess, so you should bear the consequences yourself."

The young man in the short-sleeved T-shirt tried to argue: "But that tuna is worth several thousand dollars, how could one of your tow ropes be worth that much?"

Are you stupid?

Ah-chan glanced at him sideways, "A single tow rope is certainly not worth that much money, but are your lives not worth it either?"

This also includes rescue costs, which is towing your wrecked ship back to the dock.

All things considered, we actually lost out.

"this……"

The young man in the short-sleeved T-shirt was speechless, and the others also looked embarrassed.

I want to refuse, but I don't know how to refute it.

Feng Ye didn't want to waste any more words with them, but after thinking about it, he still felt he had to make things clear to them.

"Don't think we're greedy. If we only want this tuna, we're definitely at a disadvantage."

"The fishing line itself isn't worth much, but it delayed our fishing, so you have to compensate us for the losses caused, right?"

"That doesn't need to be that much."

The young man in the short-sleeved T-shirt muttered something under his breath.

Feng Ye snorted coldly: "Then I'll settle this with you properly."

"We don't have any spare towing lines on board; we'll have to go ashore to buy some. Won't that take time?"

At this point, he suddenly realized that he didn't know where these people came from, and how long it would take to drag them back.

He then took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, where did you set sail from? How far is it from here?"

"We came from Tuo City, the journey..."

The young man in the floral shirt thought for a moment before continuing, "It seems like it took more than nine hours to get here."

Tuocheng?

What a coincidence!

Last time we went out to sea, the first shipment was sold in Tuocheng, so it seems we'll have to land in Tuocheng again this time.

Feng Ye nodded, already having made up his mind.

"Even if it's nine hours, the round trip will take eighteen hours."

We start one net every three hours on average, which is six nets.

As for how much cargo is in each net, you've probably seen it. Let's say it's worth a thousand yuan per net, that's not much, is it?

The young man in the floral shirt shook his head: "Not many."

The other five people were also speechless.

A distance of a few dozen meters is not far, and they did see with their own eyes how much cargo was caught in that net.

Although I don't know exactly what's inside, judging by its weight, it's probably worth at least a thousand dollars.

"That's good, six networks will cost six thousand yuan."

Feng Ye held up six fingers and waved them in front of them.

"And your tuna is only worth about five thousand dollars, which is not enough to compensate us for our losses."
