Chapter 387: Cast a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish

Although they had driven Ma Weiqun and the others away, everyone's mood was not good.

Especially A Qing.

He was really about to explode with anger; the last time he was robbed, reporting it to the police was useless and they found nothing.

He already had a belly full of anger.

Since they really couldn't find anything, everyone could only console themselves by saying that losing money averts disaster.

They had already decided to accept the loss.

As a result, Ma Weiqun's gang became even more arrogant; last time they only stole, but this time they openly robbed right in front of them.

Can this be tolerated?

Absolutely unbearable!

If they still swallow their anger like this, next time Ma Weiqun will surely ride over their heads and defecate and urinate on them.

The Fan father and son and Ma Weiqun are from the same town, both fishermen; although they had never dealt with each other, they had also heard of Ma Weiqun's reputation.

Fan Lao Tou briefly said what he knew, and Fan Dali occasionally added: "Ma Weiqun was originally a good-for-nothing, later he got a boat and went out to sea."

"Looking at today's situation, he's a seasoned veteran; he hasn't left us any handle to grab."

"I don't know if reporting him to the police can bring him to justice."

A Qing gritted his teeth and said: "Whether or not we can bring him to justice, we have to give him a beating to vent our anger."

Mei Wu also nodded in agreement.

Fan Dali said: "We need to find an opportunity."

"I'm from the same town as him; when I go back, I'll keep a close watch on him."

"At first he'll definitely be on high alert, but there will always be moments when he lets his guard down."

Fan Xiao Zhu said: "If we really can't do it, we can find someone to help."

A Qing looked at Wu An: "Right, brother, we need to think of a way to beat him up."

Wu An nodded and said: "Hmm, first let's confirm the losses."

A Qing scratched his head: "Then what?"

Wu An continued: "Then we'll go collect the longline fishing gear, aiming to return to the dock before dark."

A Qing became anxious: "Brother, why are you pretending to be stupid? I'm asking how to deal with that Ma whatever."

Mei Wu reminded: "Ma Weiqun."

A Qing nodded: "Right, that Ma whatever."

Wu An said: "Of course we report it to the police."

A Qing stared: "Just reporting to the police?"

Mei Wu shook his head and said: "Although we now know who did it, without evidence, relying only on our testimony probably won't be enough to catch Ma Weiqun's gang."

A Qing shouted: "We can't just rely on the police."

Wu An said: "If not the police, who else should we rely on?"

"Yu Kai Lang will definitely help us seek justice."

"Besides, I have a plan for this matter."

"Before the police investigation ends, don't act recklessly."

A Qing sighed; he was furious inside, but since Wu An said that, he could only hold back.

He turned and walked to the side, kicking the boat's edge a few times with his foot.

Mei Wu frowned, looking at Wu An with a puzzled expression.

The two have grown up together since childhood and know each other's temperaments well.

Wu An is not the type to swallow his anger.

Before, he had only said some unpleasant things, and Wu An had schemed to extort money from him.

Putting it bluntly, Wu An is narrow-minded; he feels that if he suffers a grievance, he must certainly take revenge.

Today they have been bullied to the extreme, yet Wu An looks rather indifferent.

When did he become such a coward?

This is very unlike Wu An.

He felt there must be something fishy; since Wu An said he had a plan, he would tentatively believe it.

The neighboring fishing boat.

Upon learning Wu An's attitude, Fan Dali and his son felt somewhat gloomy, never expecting Wu An's personality to be so soft.

Rely on the police?

If the police were that capable, Ma Weiqun wouldn't have been able to run rampant at sea for so long.

The main issue is lack of evidence.

Even the police, faced with this situation, would be clueless.

Unless next time we let the police follow and catch them in the act, but that seems unlikely.

After this commotion, Ma Weiqun will surely calm down for a while.

Trying to catch his foothold is not that easy.

It's impossible to constantly have the police follow them; the police also have other duties.

Over time, if they relax their guard a little, Ma Weiqun will likely make a comeback.

Fan Dali wanted to suggest to Wu An to fight violence with violence, and Fan Xiao Zhu also mentioned it briefly.

But seeing that Wu An obviously had no intention of that, he didn't feel comfortable saying more.

Saying too much only makes people feel unhappy.

Wu An didn't say much.

I endured today to show weakness to the enemy, and Ma Weiqun might become even more arrogant.

Once a person becomes too arrogant, they're not far from "the upper road."

Besides that, the most important purpose is to collect evidence sufficient to ruin Ma Weiqun forever.

But now Du Shuai's video hasn't reached my hands yet, and there are too many uncertain factors.

If he now lays out all his plans, then if Du Shuai betrays or fails to get the video, everyone would just be happily disappointed.

Rather than that, it's better not to say anything for now.

But what needs to be done next is clear: first, confirm the losses; then have Ma Weiqun return everything in full; finally, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

He also hasn't forgotten that besides dealing with Ma Weiqun, we need to root out the people behind him.

Since things have come to this, nobody can be let off.

So the question is, even if Ma Weiqun knows when he went out to sea, how could he accurately know where he went at sea and where he dropped the crab pots?

Could it be that they installed a tracker on his boat?

Wu An pondered, walking around the fishing boat.

? A moment later.

Losses confirmed.

"We lost sixteen crab pots, fourteen remain." Lao Fu Tou sighed and asked, "Should we first salvage them up?"

Wu An walked several rounds on the boat and found nothing, so he gave up, thinking to discuss it later.

After glancing at the system, seeing that the crab pots still had plenty of luck value, he shook his head: "Even Ma Weiqun wouldn't dare to kill us in retaliation."

"Let's go back."

"Since we've now identified the culprit, we need to inform Yu Kai Lang of this situation."

A Qing whispered: "I think finding Boss Qiang would be more useful."

Wu An calmly said: "Find him."

"Of course we need to find him."

"Let's go back and collect the longline."

Fan Dali and the others didn't leave; after finally coming out, they planned to spend the night at sea and return after hauling up the crab pots tomorrow.

Anyway, their testimony isn't urgent; just a trip to the police station tomorrow will do.

? The two boats separated.

Each went its own way.

Arrived at Huo Ming Dao.

Wu An hauled up the float, the winch operated, and everyone waited expressionlessly.

Nobody spoke.

The atmosphere was very gloomy.

I don't know if it's because of a bad mood, but at first the longline brought up nothing at all.

Afterwards, they hauled up a lot of trash; instead of throwing it back into the sea, they piled it on the deck to deal with later when returning to the pier.

A Qing and Mei Wu became even more depressed.

Wu An, however, wasn't anxious at all; the longline's luck value had been exhausted.

There's definitely something good coming up later.
