~7 min read 1,292 words

The fishing boat is quickly arriving at the dock.

Wu An was about to call Yu Kai Lang when his phone rang; he picked it up and saw it was Yu Kai Lang calling.

He answered.

Just after exchanging greetings, Yu Kai Lang opened the door and said, "A An, did something happen at sea today?"

Wu An blinked and asked, "How did you get the news?"

Yu Kai Lang's tone sank: "The station received a cooperation notice saying you are suspected of a malicious injury at sea."

I think you couldn't have done something like that.

So I went to the chief to apply, letting me notify you first and not come to you, but you need to hurry to the station.

Wu An said, "Okay."

"Lang, thanks."

Yu Kai Lang said, "What thanks? This is what I should do."

I believe you are definitely innocent.

What I can do is limited; I just try to help you minimize the impact as much as possible.

Several times before, I've caused you some negative impact, and I still feel quite embarrassed about it.

Wu An explained the situation.

After hearing, Yu Kai Lang sighed, "Too bad we didn't catch any evidence!"

Alright, I understand the situation.

I won't talk more now; the other side's police station has already brought people over, I need to go check.

He hung up.

Wu An suddenly chuckled twice; indeed, when people are utterly speechless, they really can't help but laugh.

Good fellow.

Ma Weiqun actually dared to call the police first.

What the Fan clan father and son said is indeed true; this guy is not easy to deal with.

The phone rang again; it was Gao Qiangqi calling.

"A An, Captain Du just sent me the video." Gao Qiangqi said in a relaxed tone: "I've already watched it; it's well shot, clearly capturing Ma Weiqun's criminal process."

Now we can easily send him to prison.

Wu An's smile grew brighter as he said, "Brother Qiang, just now Ma Weiqun called the police first, claiming I attacked him at sea."

Gao Qiangqi laughed: "He's really good at courting death."

Right.

Captain Du also said that tonight Ma Weiqun will bring a few lackeys to Xixi Village for drinks, likely to find the person who ordered him.

Wu An's eyes narrowed: "Is the one who ordered Ma Weiqun someone from my village?"

Gao Qiangqi said: "All we can say is that it's possible."

Wu An pondered a moment, then said: "Brother Qiang, if Ma Weiqun is caught, will he voluntarily confess who ordered him?"

Gao Qiangqi said: "Hard to say."

He might, or he might not.

How about this: Ma Weiqun will go drink in your village tonight; you stay put, let him go, have someone watch him, and you'll naturally find out who it is.

Wu An nodded: "Okay, I got it."

"Brother Qiang, I really thank you this time."

Gao Qiangqi told Wu An not to stand on ceremony; if anything comes up later, just look for him—he's already backed up the video several times, left it in the office, and told Wu An to come get it whenever he's free.

Wu An put down his phone, thought a moment, and said to Lao Fu Tou: "Old Fu, return to the village dock."

Lao Fu Tou asked: "The phone call just now was..."

A Qing and Mei Wu also looked over; Wu An didn't hide anything, briefly explaining the situation.

A Qing flared: "Damn, they're even turning the tables, thief shouting 'catch the thief!'"

Mei Wu's face fell: "I was already a bit worried; I never expected..."

Lao Fu Tou looked at Wu An's relaxed face: "All good?"

Wu An said: "I can handle it."

You guys don't need to follow me.

I can go alone.

A Qing refused, insisting on going with him, saying that sharing hardships and blessings is what brothers do.

Wu An told him to cut the nonsense.

He went into the police station; who knows when he'll come out, and we still need A Qing to help keep watch.

He pulled A Qing aside and whispered his instructions.

A Qing nodded repeatedly, indicating he would definitely get things done.

With A Qing handling things, he still felt reassured.

The fishing boat docked at the village pier.

Lao Xie received the cargo.

"Big Tail Squid, great stuff."

"Don't let its low price fool you; it sells well."

"Good fellow, so much of it—good, really good."

Lao Xie was overjoyed.

Wu An asked, "Can you eat it?"

Lao Xie snorted, "I'll take as much as there is."

Wu An nodded and didn't say anything else.

He greeted, then immediately got off the boat, walked a few steps, and encountered Shen Nan and his group.

Shen Nan, with his group, stood by the seaside, posing as if pointing out the country; upon meeting, he also gave a hearty greeting.

Wu An nodded in response, had just taken two steps when Lin Bin suddenly called out: "You're in such a hurry—did something happen?"

Wu An stopped in his tracks: "How do you know something happened to me?"

"I just guessed; looks like something really did happen." Lin Bin said, laughing schadenfreude.

Shen Nan said: "A An, what happened? Can you tell us?"

"I mean no offense; we're from the same village—if the brothers have anywhere they need help, please don't stand on ceremony."

Wu An smiled, nodded, and kept walking; he and Shen Nan had nothing to say, Shen Nan's words were just talk—who would believe that nonsense?

After walking far, he stopped, turned back to look at Lin Bin in the crowd.

He felt Lin Bin was very suspicious.

If it really were him and Ma Weiqun causing trouble, that would be easy to deal with.

Wu An didn't delay, went straight home.

His sister-in-law was at home.

Seeing him come back alone in a hurry, she seemed to sense something, so she grabbed him and asked what had happened.

Wu An briefly explained the situation, reassured his sister-in-law that it would be fine, then rode out.

Mei Yueqin couldn't rest easy, so she quickly called Wu Yingwei.

Wu Yingwei was in a meeting at the Village Committee with colleagues; after receiving the call, he immediately got up to leave, but someone shouted: "Yingwei, the discussion isn't over yet—why are you leaving?"

Wu Yingwei said: "I have something to attend to."

That person said: "We already agreed—everyone was going to help A Gui..."

Wu Yingwei interrupted him, saying: "So I'm wrong for not helping?"

"I have something to do right now."

"I have no time to help others."

After saying that, he went out, got on his bike and left; everyone looked at each other, and Chen Gui cheerfully remarked: "Looks like Yingwei really does have something going on."

Wu Yingwei arrived at the dock.

He found A Qing and Mei Wu moving cargo, asked about the situation; after learning the details, Wu Yingwei frowned so tightly he could crush a mosquito.

A Qing said: "Uncle, don't worry, my brother said he can handle it."

Mei Wu also said: "I also think it's not a big problem."

"I really don't believe it—this matter could let that bastard turn black into white and white into black."

Wu Yingwei shook his head: "You youngsters, you think too simplistically."

"I need to find someone to inquire about that person."

"Besides these, did A An give any other instructions?"

Mei Wu shook his head.

Lao Fu Tou also shook his head.

A Qing's eyes flickered; he lowered his head and said nothing.

Wu An indeed gave him other instructions, but also warned him not to tell anyone.

Even if it were Wu Yingwei, he couldn't say it.
