Chapter 355: To Get to the Bottom of It

Over there, Da Liu heard someone calling him and wasn't very surprised; after all, they were from the same place, so knowing each other was normal.

But seeing it was Ye Cheng still gave him a bit of surprise.

I'd long heard that Ye Cheng had started fishing to get rich, even doing some aquaculture, and had made quite a bit of money.

This made him extremely jealous.

You have to know, back then although Ye Cheng was the gang leader of Baiyun Village, I was the head of Liu Village.

But Ye Cheng was still a notch below me.

Now look, he's actually become rich while I'm still this poor.

If it weren't for jealousy, he wouldn't have gone to meet this bunch of Japanese.

Damn it, it's all because of Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng didn't know why he had again been hated for no reason.

"Ye Cheng, it's you, what a coincidence," Da Liu replied feignedly.

"It is a coincidence, I brought the boat over to chat." Ye Cheng said that and, without waiting for Da Liu's agreement, steered the boat over directly.

Da Liu saw he really had brought the boat over, his face sank instantly, he turned and said a few words to those in the cabin, then stood on the deck.

The two boats drew alongside; Da Liu was about to jump over, lest Ye Cheng discover that there were people on his side.

Ye Cheng beat him to it, jumping over first, then grabbing Da Liu's hand and giving him a hard hug,

"Damn! Brother, how come you're out at sea too?"

Da Liu looked embarrassed, "Damn, I'm not that close with you."

"Oh, I just went out to sea with the village's boat to have a look; I didn't expect to run into you. Want to come aboard and have a look? I heard you bought a boat."

Ye Cheng understood in his heart that Da Liu didn't want him to see the people in the cabin.

But how would he let him have his way?

Over here, Xiao Hu also jumped over, imitating Ye Cheng's manner and gave Da Liu a hug.

Ye Cheng took the opportunity, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, and went straight into the cabin,

"Come on, I'm Da Liu's brother, have a cigarette."

There were four people in the cabin; one dressed like a fisherman looked a bit familiar, probably the boat captain, possibly seen at the dock.

The other three obviously weren't locals, and their appearance differed from that of Chinese people, mainly their eyes, which looked shifty and sinister.

They sat warily on the deck; even though Ye Cheng was dressed as a fisherman, they remained on guard.

Beside the three were several large boxes, full of high-tech vibe, clearly not fishing gear.

Seeing Ye Cheng enter, the boat captain grew a little tense, his whole body tightening.

Ye Cheng didn't care; he simply took out a cigarette and lit it, first giving it to the boat captain, then passing it to the other three, taking the chance to ask,

"You don't look like locals; are you here from out of town to play?"

Those three didn't speak, just nodded and took the cigarettes.

At that moment, Da Liu had already rushed in and grabbed Ye Cheng,

"'Old Two,' let's go outside to talk; these are guests from the city, they were terrified last night."

Having seen the people clearly, Ye Cheng didn't insist, followed Da Liu up onto the deck and started chatting casually,

"Sure, Da Liu, now even the tourist business is out at sea."

"Can't compare to you; I heard you've made a fortune."

"I'm just earning some hard-earned cash; I think these few look like foreigners, I've heard foreigners are rich but stupid, next time introduce a few to me so I can make some money too."

Over here, Xiao Hu, upon hearing they were foreigners, also pretended curiosity and peered inside, "Really? There are foreigners, let me have a look.

"Why do they look like little Japanese?"

Hearing Xiao Hu's words, Da Liu's face instantly sank, "Xiao Hu, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Exactly, Xiao Hu, what nonsense are you spouting? Our Da Liu would never deal with Japanese."

Xiao Hu looked speechlessly at the two actors, "You guys can act, that's all."

"Right, Da Liu?" After Ye Cheng finished speaking to Xiao Hu, he gave Da Liu a playful look.

Da Liu's face sank, his eyes flashing with menace,

"What? Do I still need to explain my affairs to you?"

Seeing Da Liu like that, Ye Cheng became even more certain.

He grinned and slapped Da Liu,

"How could that be? I was just asking casually; it's morning now, I'm off, going home to sleep."

Having said that, Ye Cheng took Xiao Hu and jumped back onto his own boat.

Behind them, Da Liu stared at their backs, constantly gauging, estimating that Ye Cheng and his party already knew these were Japanese.

But whether they would go out and blabber, he didn't know; the safest course would be to eliminate them.

But he was just a thug; really getting to the point of killing someone still made him a bit hesitant.

Especially since there was another boat behind, apparently also from Baiyun Village.

Even if he could kill Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu, he couldn't kill the people on that boat behind.

After Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu boarded, they laughed and greeted Da Liu, then set off.

After the boat had gone far off, Xiao Hu then said,

"Brother, I feel Da Liu wants to mess with us."

Ye Cheng said lightly, "Not just mess with us; he wants to kill us."

"No way, he dares to kill?" Xiao Hu said in surprise.

"People die for wealth, birds for food; when pushed to that extent, it's hard to say. Let's head back first."

On this side, Duan Chunsheng waited for Ye Cheng to come over and shouted.

"Lao Er, you know him, right?"

"Yeah, Da Liu from Liu Village, we used to play together."

"This is really a coincidence, are you okay? I see you guys chatting up there don't seem very happy." Although Duan Chunsheng was far away, he could still see a bit of a clue.

Ye Cheng smiled,

"Duan Shu, there's nothing to be happy or unhappy about, just a bit of a bad temper from when we used to hang out. Let's go, let's go home."

He didn't intend to tell Duan Chunsheng about this; it's a bit dangerous, the fewer people who know, the better.

Returning to the dock, it was already past seven; some fishing boats came back one after another.

They were all talking about last night's big storm; Ye Cheng and his group were lucky, they found a place to hide and the boat suffered little damage.

Many fishing boats were damaged, and they were there looking for people to repair them.

As for the catch, there was basically none.

Ye Cheng's side only had over 200 catties of squid, but the bigger the wind and waves, the more valuable the fish.

Today's squid price was relatively high, and they sold it for over 1000 dollars, better than nothing.

Before heading back, Ye Cheng found a dock worker, gave him 100 dollars, and asked him to watch Liu Village's boat and inform him when it went out to sea.

After going back and sleeping, Ye Cheng went to town to take an X-ray to see if his leg was okay.

Fortunately, there was no fracture, just superficial abrasions and muscle strain.

Ye Guowei also found out about the storm, came over to check, brought some vegetables, and told him not to go out to sea for these two days.

Ye Cheng didn't want to go out to sea, the problem is he couldn't rest easy, especially regarding Da Liu's side.

He guessed that those little devils definitely didn't achieve their goal yesterday, and they would definitely continue going out to sea.

From their trajectory over the past few days, what they're looking for should be near the sea where they catch squid.
