Early on the fourth day.
The Ping An cruise ship has returned home.
Old Fu said, "Ah An, if all goes well, we should be able to reach the town's dock around five or six in the afternoon."
Wu An nodded: "You won't be offline on the road, right?"
Old Fu laughed and said, "I'd like to, but how can I fit anything in when the place is already full?"
Wu An nodded: "Alright then."
"Return at full speed."
As they were talking.
He poured all his luck points into the fishing boat, not knowing if it would increase its speed, but it didn't matter if it didn't.
Anyway, I have more luck points than I can use.
Every little bit helps.
Nowadays, a trawler can hardly consume any of your daily luck points.
Thankfully, he doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Otherwise, I'd be miserable.
It needs an upgrade.
Fortunately, the other trawler is working overtime and will be able to go to sea soon.
Currently, the boat is mainly operated by Lao Futou and Mei Wu. Fu Yongning can also operate it, but it is mainly Mei Wu who is operating it. He is being given a chance to try it out, and he has already obtained his license.
Apart from that good-for-nothing Ah Qing, everyone else already has their certificates.
The fact that they were able to obtain it so smoothly and quickly is naturally because they followed Brother Min's connections.
It would be foolish not to use connections.
Moreover, this relationship needs to be used more often; the more you interact with each other, the closer the relationship becomes.
Since there was no homework, everyone slept until they naturally woke up. Aqing slept until noon. If he hadn't been woken up by hunger, he could have continued sleeping.
"Brother, what are we having for lunch?"
"Eat shit."
Where?
"You actually went looking for it!"
"Brother, look how scared you are. I was just teasing you."
"Get out of here."
Wu An went up and kicked him.
Aqing dodged.
Wu An chased after him and kicked him.
Aqing jumped and dodged.
It was incredibly noisy.
The meal only stopped when Fan Xiaozhu called out that dinner was served. The food was simple: seafood fried rice. There were no fancy dishes; whatever was on the boat was added.
Mantis shrimp and swimming crabs were all shelled, pure meat, pure roe, and pure yellow roe. There was also some fish meat, including large yellow croaker and grouper. Fan Xiaozhu then asked everyone to eat and see what else they could eat.
Wu An recognized it; it was tuna.
It's really not good stir-fried; it's very dry.
Compared to the seafood, Wu An thought the eggs in the seafood fried rice were even better; every grain was coated with egg, and Fan Xiaozhu's cooking skills were truly excellent.
Wu An enjoyed the meal and asked Fan Xiaozhu if he wanted to work part-time as a chef.
If you're willing, I'll give you an extra 1% commission, and you can entrust him with all the food on the ship from now on.
Everyone ate their rice without objection or arguing with him. Even Aqing nodded in agreement.
Fan Xiaozhu happily agreed. One percent commission could amount to tens of thousands of yuan, or at least several thousand. He would be crazy to refuse.
They ate and drank their fill.
Nothing's wrong.
Wu An asked them if they wanted to go fishing, but they all shook their heads and said no.
The work these past few days has been quite strenuous.
From 6 a.m. when I went offline to midnight when I finished work, excluding breaks, the actual working time definitely exceeded ten hours.
We're all exhausted.
and.
I'm also afraid of catching too many fish.
In the lounge, some people were playing on their phones, others were playing cards, enjoying their leisure time.
The weather is nice today.
There's a bit of a storm.
The fishing boat was heavy, but it remained very stable in the wind and waves, almost as if it were cutting through the wind and waves.
As they approached the dock, Wu An regained a cell phone signal. Seeing that the time was right, he called Gao Qiangqi and explained that he had returned from a trip with a full cargo hold.
Right after he finished the call, Mei Wu found him: "Ah An, what a coincidence, we ran into Jing He, right to our left, he's also returning from his return voyage."
Wu An went to check, and it was indeed true.
At this moment, the other ship suddenly increased its speed significantly and squeezed towards the Ping An.
In this way...
The Ping An had to wait its turn to dock at the pier.
Wu An, holding the walkie-talkie, said, "Old Fu, don't hide."
"Aqing, all of you prepare for the impact."
Damn it.
They were already looking for trouble, and now they've come to us willingly.
Wu An was already gearing up for the challenge.
He was all prepared, but Izuru chickened out, reduced the speed of the boat, and turned the rudder to the side.
Fishing boats are docked at the pier.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Gao Qiangqi finally arrived at the dock with his men.
"Brother Qiang, why are you so slow?"
"Don't you even consider when you contacted me? You have a satellite phone, why didn't you notify me in advance?"
"Uh... I forgot."
As they chatted, after Boss Chen's fishing boat docked, Jing He stepped out of the boat. Gao Qiangqi was somewhat surprised: "What's this guy doing here?"
Jinghe glanced at it, then drove off in a BMW.
Wu An said, "He wants to buy Boss Chen's fishing boat."
"He wants to buy it?" Gao Qiangqi said, smoking a cigarette. "Something's fishy."
"Brother Qiang, I'm going to make trouble for him."
“Sure.” Gao Qiangqi said without hesitation, “You can use any of my people.”
Wu An smiled and said, "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
"Why are you being so polite with me? I've been wanting to get over this traitor for a long time."
"He might be more than just a traitor."
"oh?"
“It’s like this…” Wu An told Gao Qiangqi everything he knew, including some guesses, hoping that Gao Qiangqi could help him analyze it.
“Your logic is reasonable. Jinghe’s unusual behavior means that the people behind him are anxious, or there is something that he needs to do personally and he doesn’t trust others to do it.”
"No matter what, something is definitely amiss. Whatever he was planning to do, he's been unable to do anything since you started watching him."
"I'll do my best."
Don't be modest about this.
"hey-hey."
The two brothers chatted as the boatmen began unloading the cargo.
Mantis shrimp, swimming crab, blue crab, sunfish, bigeye snapper, a 300-pound yellow croaker, red-spotted fish, and rock snapper—after watching the spectacle, everyone exclaimed that Wu An's luck was as strong as ever.
Then, everyone went to check on the other ship.
And that's when the fun begins.
There is no harm without comparison.
Being talked about and pointed at by everyone, Lao Feng and his team were really suffering. They had been wandering aimlessly at sea for the past three or four days without actually setting up a proper net.
Old Fu walked over and beckoned Old Feng to come over.
Old Feng walked over, took the cigarette Old Fu offered him, and clicked his tongue: "Hua Zi."
"I'm not pretending, this is just my current level."
"Hey, you're living a good life now."
"Now that my life is better, I want to help my brothers live better too, but you're just being stubborn and unwilling."
"I'm taking their salary."
"Alright, alright, I'm not here to poach your man. Anyway, I won't need to do it soon, Boss Chen's wall is going to fall too. I'm asking you, what has Jing He been doing on the ship these past few days?"
Why are you asking this?
"What else could I do? I felt that guy was up to no good and wanted to find out more about him beforehand."
“I suspect he’s up to no good. After losing track of you, he told us to look for dolphins. Dolphins are protected animals, what would he want with them?”
"Also, he used a satellite phone to make phone calls, and he spoke Japanese."
How did you know?
"Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, I could still recognize his Japanese."
"Okay, I understand."
"When we were almost at the dock, he was the one who told us to move closer. Later, I chickened out and dodged, and he scolded me for it."
"This kind of humiliation fee isn't easy to earn, is it?"
"well……"
"Alright, just bear with it a little longer. I'll introduce you to work on Ah An's ship in a while."
"Old Fu, thanks."
"Okay, I'm leaving."
When Old Fu returned, he told Wu An about what he had just inquired about.
