Lan Xinping's face darkened completely; he understood the meaning behind their words.
As long as he follows behind, they won't fish; they'll just keep taking him on aimless flights of sight until he can't take it anymore.
He truly did not want to, and could not afford, this kind of loss.
Lan Xin'an realized this too. His eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Feng Ye, don't be so smug! You just got lucky and made a little money."
"How am I being smug? Luck is also a part of ability. Besides, I'm just stating a fact."
Feng Ye coldly retorted.
Lan Xin'an was taken aback by Feng Ye's words, and his expression turned even more unpleasant.
He glared at Feng Ye, but didn't know how to answer.
Lan Xinping's eyes were cold and sinister, like those of a venomous snake: "The ocean belongs to the public. Don't go too far, we..."
Feng Ye interrupted Lan Xinping, saying, "You're the ones who went too far. You've been following us all this way, and you still dare to do it but not admit it..."
He then shook his head. "Forget it, there's nothing more to say. Follow me if you want. Brother, step on the gas! At this slow speed, when will we ever finish a tank of diesel?"
He didn't say anything more and turned back to the driver's seat.
Ah Can glared angrily at the Lan brothers before following Feng Ye back to the driver's seat.
"Okay!"
Feng Xuan responded loudly, pushed the accelerator, and the speed of the Rising Sun soared.
The Lan brothers exchanged a glance, a hint of resentment and anger flashing in their eyes, but in the end they did not follow.
Even if you're unwilling, you have no choice but to give up.
Continuing to drag this out will only lead to greater losses.
Watching the Rising Sun gradually disappear into the distance, a ruthless glint flashed in Lan Xinping's eyes: "Don't be so smug, you won't be able to hide in your fishing spot for long."
Lan Xin'an said with a look of resentment, "Brother, are we just going to let it go like this? Wouldn't we have followed them for hours for nothing?"
Lan Xinping gave him a cold look and said in a deep voice, "What else can we do if we don't want to? Do you want to fight them?"
Lan Xin'an was speechless.
He's not stupid. How could he possibly win against three opponents?
"Forget it, I'll just log off here at the internet cafe. It's getting late, and I can't stay up much longer before I have to go back. I'll think of something else when I get back."
Lan Xinping sighed and slowly steered the fishing boat to a slower speed.
...
On the Rising Sun, Feng Ye watched as the Lan brothers' fishing boat, which hadn't followed and was slowly being left behind, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.
"Brother, let's go and finish the longline fishing first."
Feng Xuan nodded: "I'll drive further away before turning, so those two bastards won't see me and guess my course."
Now that we've shaken them off, we can finally focus on fishing.
Just then, a ripple suddenly appeared on the sea and rapidly spread toward the Asahi.
It was as if something had cleaved the sea in two.
Immediately afterwards, a huge dorsal fin, resembling a sail, appeared on the surface of the sea.
"What a huge sailfish!"
Feng Xuan kept a close eye on the ship sailing ahead, and could see it very clearly.
The sailfish didn't stop for a second, speeding past the Rising Sun like lightning.
"That speed..."
Ah-chan's eyes widened, his face filled with amazement.
Sailfish are among the fastest swimming fish in the ocean, reaching speeds of up to 190 kilometers per hour, with a normal swimming speed of around 90 kilometers per hour.
Such speed is practically lightning-fast underwater.
"It's a pity there are no heavy fishing rods on the boat, otherwise we could have tried to see if we could catch anything."
Feng Ye felt somewhat regretful.
Such a large sailfish, yet we could only watch it swim away helplessly.
It has to be said that this is a frustrating thing.
"Huh, why has the sailfish slowed down?"
Just as the sailfish was about to approach the Lan brothers' ship, it seemed to brake suddenly, and its speed dropped drastically.
"Wait, what are they trying to do?"
The Lan brothers' fishing boat sailed towards the sailfish, with one of them standing at the bow, seemingly holding something in his hand.
"Could they be trying to catch this sailfish?"
Ah-chan's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
"Hand-thrown net?"
Feng Ye frowned as well, vaguely guessing how the Lan brothers intended to capture the sailfish.
Feng Xuan nodded: "It seems so. However, what they are doing is too dangerous."
"They're going crazy!" Feng Ye sighed.
Seeing a big fish will inevitably tempt anyone, which is understandable, but one should act within one's means.
Catching sailfish with hand-thrown nets is incredibly unwise; it's practically suicidal.
Sailfish are extremely dangerous; you have to be extra careful when fishing for them with a rod.
When Feng Ye went out to sea on a yacht last time, wasn't Yang Chenghe almost pierced through by a sailfish?
Not to mention a hand-thrown net.
If sailfish are threatened, they may attack fishing boats aggressively, which could lead to accidents.
"Should we go over and take a look?" Ah-Can asked.
"Of course, how can we not watch the excitement? Besides, they might need our help in the future."
Feng Ye chuckled.
Feng Ye nodded and steered the Rising Sun over, but didn't get too close, only observing from a distance.
With a twist of his waist and a release of his hand, Lan Xinping threw the hand-thrown net toward the sailfish.
The hand-thrown net was exceptionally precise, completely catching the sailfish.
Once caught in the net, the sailfish went berserk, twisting and struggling wildly in an attempt to break free, creating huge waves that spread outwards.
Upon seeing this, Lan Xinping was overjoyed and was about to pull the net rope back.
Suddenly, the net rope taut, and a strong force came from it. Caught off guard, he stumbled and the net rope slipped from his grasp.
Lan Xin'an reacted quickly, instinctively lunging forward and barely managing to grab the end of the net rope.
Unexpectedly, the sailfish was incredibly strong. He was caught off guard and had no way to get any leverage.
With a "bang," he was dragged by the sailfish and fell directly into the sea.
Lan Xin'an panicked immediately, forgetting even to loosen his grip on the net rope, and was dragged across the sea by the sailfish.
Holy crap!
Upon witnessing this sudden turn of events, Feng Ye and the other two widened their eyes and simultaneously uttered a curse.
Lan Xinping's expression changed drastically, and he roared in terror, "Let go! Stop holding onto the net!"
Lan Xin'an finally realized what was happening and let go of his hand.
Fortunately, he could swim, and after calming down, he quickly swam towards the boat.
The sailfish struggled on the surface of the sea for a while before sinking into the sea with the hand-thrown net and disappearing from sight.
This is truly a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
They didn't catch any sailfish, and they even lost a hand-thrown net.
Fortunately, the sailfish was too busy breaking free of the hand-thrown net to give Lan Xin'an a good thrashing.
otherwise……
