Chapter 628: Dolphin Earns Great Merit

Wu An thought, if he could catch Ma Wei, not only would it cure his lingering worry, but also earn another merit; then, not to mention the county's outstanding youths.

The city's youths could also be handled.

These outstanding youths are already reported up the chain; if they win the national outstanding youth award, they can go to Beijing to receive the honor.

Saying it brings glory to the ancestors would not be an exaggeration.

……

Early the next morning.

At five o'clock in the pre‑dawn.

Wu An was woken by the alarm, opened the door and stepped out; the Courtyard was already lit, his brother and sister‑in‑law and their parents‑in‑law were up, and there were already plenty of vegetables.

Wu An greeted, "Brother, sister‑in‑law, you don't have to get up so early to hustle."

Mei Yueqin said, "I was about to get up around this time too; hurry and go wash up."

Wu An finished washing up.

Breakfast was already on the table.

He picked up his phone and saw that Gu Anran had sent him several messages that night; the reason was simple—he had transferred five million to Gu Anran.

They were sent just half an hour earlier.

He called back.

Gu Anran answered instantly.

"Are you waiting?"

"Yeah, I was afraid calling would disturb your sleep."

"That five million is the seed money I'm giving you."

"You don't need that much."

"Your burden is getting heavier; having money gives you confidence—use it freely and boldly."

After a few more words, they agreed to meet at the Dock.

After finishing breakfast, the brother and sister‑in‑law had already loaded everything onto the tricycle; he hopped on and headed straight for the Dock.

Arriving at the Dock.

Everyone was already assembled.

Fu Yongning brought two chickens, Aunt Juan also prepared plenty of meat, and Wu An joked, "If this voyage isn't going to last three or five days, we'd be cheating everyone by bringing so much food and drink."

Mei Yueqin said, "What are you talking about?"

"If we can return early, the family will be so happy they won't even have time to react."

"There are so many grown men on the boat, all doing physical labor; this amount of food won't even last two days."

They chatted a bit.

Everyone boarded the boat.

Accompanied by the newborn dawn, Wu An waved, and the fishing boat slowly set out toward the sea.

Only after the people on shore were out of sight did Wu An return to the lounge; no one was there, A Qing was tidying food and drink, Fu Yongning and the Fan family brothers were packing the Fish Basket.

They were all very busy.

Lao Fu Tou asked over the intercom, "A An, where are we heading?"

Wu An glanced at the system.

Hu Zi is truly mischievous, and no one knows what trouble he's causing again; anyway, his Luck Value was completely consumed that day, and he vanished from the system.

But the big circle was still present.

And its condition was very good.

This shows that ordinary eating only consumes a limited amount of Luck Value; at least that much Luck Value can't be used up by normal consumption over one or two days.

Giving Hu Zi a Luck Boost put considerable pressure on him; I can't help worrying about Hu Zi and thinking of his condition.

He muttered a few words to himself, and Wu An set the big circle's direction: "Head toward Shuangzi Dao."

Lao Fu Tou nodded.

After adjusting the rudder, they headed straight for Shuangzi Dao.

The big circle kept moving, but its overall heading remained steady; after arriving at Shuangzi Dao, there were few fishing boats operating here.

Wu An didn't linger and ordered Lao Fu Tou to head east.

Mei Wu came over and said, "A An, we'll pass through the White Butterfly Clam sea area."

Wu An nodded.

He also took notice.

That's good.

Just to see whether any other fishing boats are working in the White Butterfly Clam area.

While passing by.

The White Butterfly Clam sea area was empty.

Lao Fu Tou looked and, smoking, laughed.

Mei Wu also laughed.

A Qing even ran onto the Deck, dancing and celebrating.

The later‑arriving Fu Yongning and the Fan family brothers were looking at a misty expanse of water.

"What's going on here?"

Regarding the secret of the White Butterfly Clam, Wu An and A Qing had discussed it and decided not to tell anyone else; once the March period arrives, they can send out idle small boats to harvest the White Butterfly Clam.

If the chance arises, Wu An still hopes to lease this sea area.

He looked at the system.

Da Yi Quan was not far away.

Just after passing through the White Butterfly Clam sea area, Lao Fu Tou called him to the cockpit.

Wu An arrived at the cockpit, holding binoculars to look into the distance; dolphins were leaping up and down on the sea surface from time to time, and the fishing boat was coming head-on.

Wu An was somewhat surprised.

At first, the fishing boat was chasing Da Yi Quan.

Looking at this situation, Da Yi Quan had clearly turned around.

Could it be that Da Yi Quan noticed the fishing boat chasing him and therefore deliberately turned around?

Wu An felt puzzled in his heart, hurriedly went up to the deck to greet the approaching Da Yi Quan, and A Qing and Mei Wu brought ice.

"I just came to the sea and haven't started fishing yet."

"You guys eat some ice to quench your thirst first."

"Wait until I finish my work, then we'll talk."

Da Yi Quan called twice.

After feeding it a round, a lot of ice was consumed.

After eating the ice, the dolphin pod formed an arrow shape.

Wu An blinked, then smiled and said, "Will you take me to find the fish school?"

"Wait a moment."

"I have something I want to tell you."

"The guy who attacked you earlier wasn't caught; he's probably hiding on some uninhabited island at sea."

"Can you mobilize the group to help search?"

Da Yi Quan squeaked repeatedly, looking somewhat excited.

Wu An continued, "If you run into Hu Zi, tell him too, so he can help search; he knows it's my business and will be happy to help."

"If you understand, just go."

Under his gaze, Da Yi Quan slammed itself hard into the water, but instead of taking the dolphin pod away, it formed an arrow shape again.

What does that mean?

Wu An blinked, then exclaimed in delight, "You mean you want to take me to find Ma Weiqun?"

Da Yi Quan surfaced.

It called out to him once, then nodded its head.

Wu An was overcome with excitement, "Holy shit, this surprise came too suddenly."

Originally letting Da Yi Quan and Hu Zi help search for Ma Weiqun at sea was just a desperate measure; the ocean is vast, and uninhabited islands are as numerous as stars.

If Ma Weiqun could escape, he would surely be able to find people and a ship to meet him.

Once past the crest of the wave, Ma Weiqun could seize the chance to flee to safety.

Moreover.

As long as Ma Weiqun stays hidden, Da Yi Quan and Hu Zi could not possibly run to an uninhabited island to help search for someone.

Wu An actually didn't hold much hope.

He simply thought, do what one can and leave the rest to fate.

He hadn't expected.

Da Yi Quan had actually already locked onto Ma Weiqun's hiding place.

That makes sense.

Ma Weiqun could escape the law enforcers' pursuit, but he certainly never imagined that, at sea, fish had been constantly watching him.

Da Yi Quan bears a grudge and probably also wants to get rid of Ma Weiqun quickly.

Wu An hugged Da Yi Quan's head and gave it a hard kiss, saying, "You're amazing."

"You guys lead the way ahead."

"I'll follow at full speed from my side."

He hurriedly called out to Lao Fu Tou to start the boat.

Nobody expected that Ma Weiqun had already been exposed; it was just that the dolphins had spotted him. Besides, Ma Weiqun is quite capable—if it weren't for the bond between Wu An and the dolphins, he might really have gotten away.
