Aqing asked, "Wasn't the fishing boat broken?"
Wu An laughed and said, "That's precisely why I'm going to buy it."
Otherwise, how can we lower the price?
Lin Hu, you probably never dreamed that your actions against me would actually do me a huge favor!
Aqing scratched his head; he simply couldn't keep up with Wu An's train of thought.
Seeing Wu An's confident expression, he didn't bother to think too much.
Anyway, he'll just follow his brother.
There's no need to rack your brains over it.
Ah Qing turned around and could see Lin Hu standing on the rocks in the distance, gritting his teeth as he said, "Brother, what if we can't find any evidence? Then we'll have to deal with Lin Hu, won't we?"
Wu An thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm afraid so. If you can't convict someone, you can't arrest them."
We still mainly need to rely on surveillance.
There's no hope for any other evidence or clues. With people coming and going at the dock, even if Lin Hu left any traces, they've probably been destroyed and can't be found now.
Only surveillance.
But he observed yesterday that the security cameras in the surrounding shops probably couldn't capture Lin Hu committing the crime in Jin State.
Therefore, it is highly likely that Lin Hu will not be convicted.
It can only be said that Lin Hu is the most suspicious.
Aqing spat on the ground and said, "That won't do!"
"We were lucky this time that Lin Hu didn't get us, but we might not be so lucky next time."
"Lin Hu needs to be taught a lesson."
Wu An picked up some sand to cover the phlegm and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Ah Qing said viciously, "Just like yesterday, let's start by hitting him on the head, preferably leaving him half-dead."
Wu An shook his head: "Hitting someone in the stomach is an option, but it still won't be enough to vent my anger."
"What if he turns the tables and kills me?"
“He’s not a scoundrel like Guang Liangjun; he’s got more muscle than the two of us combined.”
Ah Qing exclaimed, "That's easy! We can borrow a few people from Boss Gao."
"Brother, I've seen them fight; they're all professionals."
"Even several Lin Hus combined wouldn't be a match for him."
Wu An frowned. That was even less appropriate. It wasn't that A Qing's method was wrong, but the more people involved, the more likely things would go wrong.
Moreover, this means I owe Gao Qiangqi another huge favor.
They still do dirty things.
He was unwilling, but for the sake of his father and brother and sister-in-law, he had to keep himself clean and cherish his reputation. Not to mention anything else, if Lin Hu found out that he was the one who hired the beating, once it got out, not only would he have a hard time getting along in the village, but his father would also be implicated and gossiped about.
He said earnestly, "This world of martial arts is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions."
Aqing scratched her head: "What do you mean?"
Wu An: "Let's play dirty."
Aqing suddenly realized.
The two continued walking eastward towards the dock.
After walking for a while, Wu An remembered something and quickly called President Qin to reserve a high-class meal. President Qin was quite happy to receive the call, as Wu An had already visited twice in just a few days.
This frequency is even higher than that of Gao Qiangqi.
...
As soon as he arrived at the dock, Lao Xie was collecting goods. He saw him and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Ah An, are you going to go beachcombing?"
Wu An nodded and greeted, "May your business prosper, Boss Xie."
Old Xie waved his hand: "It's just enough to get by."
"You haven't been here for a while now."
"Have you been busy in town lately?"
Wu An echoed this sentiment.
Old Chen, a vendor nearby, sneered, "Old Xie, you don't know yet, do you? This young man is all that big now, he's even buying a fishing boat."
"In the end, the fishing boat wasn't bought, and it caused a lot of trouble."
"Otherwise, why would people come to go beachcombing?"
Old Xie was somewhat surprised.
Wu An smiled and continued walking along the beach with A Qing.
Then he heard Lao Xie speak up for him: "Lao Chen, you're speaking too soon. What do you mean by 'last'? This is only the beginning."
“Ah An has money; he can buy fishing boats anywhere.”
Old Chen scoffed, "I just wanted to annoy him a little."
"Why are you still saying anything in his defense? He's stopped coming to you to sell seafood."
Old Xie shook his head: "Old Chen, let's keep things separate."
"You can't act like that."
"Damn, you're lecturing me?" Old Chen retorted, "You're the only good person here."
Aqing tried to cause trouble several times, but Wu An stopped him each time. At this point, he couldn't gain any advantage by arguing with Lao Chen, since he had indeed failed to buy the fishing boat and ended up in jail for it.
After walking for a while, Aqing said, "Old Xie is not bad."
Wu An smiled and said, "You know he's good, don't you?"
"He spoke up for you."
"I heard you."
"How could I not know?"
Wu An was taken aback. What A Qing said made sense. Even if Lao Xie had deliberately let him hear it, the other person had indeed genuinely spoken up for him.
Although Lao Xie didn't offer a very high price, his character at the village dock is impeccable.
There's a long road ahead.
Even if he gets a boat in the future, he can't go out to sea every day. Just because Lao Xie spoke up for him, he'll stick with Lao Xie when he goes beachcombing here in the future.
Today is a minor tide.
There weren't many people going beachcombing. The two brothers had just arrived when they spotted Gu Anran in the distance.
Gu Anran also saw them and waved.
Walk over there.
Gu Anran asked, "You've arrived."
Wu An replied, "I'm here."
Villagers nearby saw them and started making fun of them.
"Anran, this handsome guy is really good-looking."
"I haven't seen this handsome guy for several days. I thought he had been eliminated."
"Handsome boy, Anran is the most beautiful girl in our village, she's in high demand, you'd better hurry up and grab her."
Wu An saw Gu Anran greeting an older woman, suggesting they were quite close.
Seeing the older woman smoking, Wu An quickly offered her one: "Auntie, I'll need your guidance in the future."
The older woman took one look and exclaimed, "Oh, Hua Zi!" She then looked at Wu An and smiled, "Handsome boy, not bad!"
After chatting for a while, Wu An learned that the aunt also had the surname Gu and was Gu Anran's neighbor. They were from the same clan, but the relationship was quite distant, as they were beyond the fifth degree of kinship and had to go through two detours.
Don't underestimate them just because they're neighbors. In the old lady's words, Anran is someone she watched grow up, and she's even closer to her than Gu Anran's own uncle.
Wu Anxin said this.
In his father's notebook, Gu Anran's uncle was described as an even worse person than himself.
This can be seen from the fact that Gu Anran takes care of her grandmother all by herself.
Aunt Gu didn't say much and quickly went off to get busy.
The coastline resources of the neighboring village are not very good, and it does not have the unique "golden beach" of Xiaoxi Village. Moreover, it is full of reefs, and even on the beach side, there are many reefs.
As far as he knows, if Xiaoxi Village develops tourism in the future, the neighboring villages will remain the same, and the resourceful people will all come to Xiaoxi Village to do business.
After using all the methods that could boost luck, and after a series of actions, I still had 49 luck points left.
Get busy.
He picked up a rake and started digging. He always found clams with each stroke, but it wasn't as good as before. It was better than nothing, I suppose. As he dug, he unknowingly wandered into a rather secluded spot. The tide was washing over his feet, and there was hardly anyone around. In this area, he discovered quite a few holes.
It looks like the hole in a razor clam.
Using a rake would only reach shallower areas, and even if you dug through, you wouldn't be able to find anything. He found a sand shovel and dug diagonally into a hole.
One poke.
After a quick search, I found two razor clams.
And they are all very big.
Dig again.
This time, I dug out three razor clams with one shovel. These things are much more valuable than hard clams.
He quickly called Aqing and Gu Anran over.
