Chapter 634

The last time they were hunted down, Wu An sighed, thinking that if he could have found Hu Zi back then, he wouldn't have fled in such a sorry state.

After that incident.

He then tried every possible way to figure out how to contact Hu Zi.

First, he had the dolphins carry a message.

Later, the system upgraded, allowing him to bestow Luck Value on Hu Zi; through the Luck Value he could pinpoint Hu Zi's location.

Unfortunately.

Hu Zi is too slippery; each time he is given Luck Value, it always gets used up quickly.

So he could only have the dolphins help carry the message.

Fortunately, Da Yi Quan is more reliable; the Luck Value bestowed on him still remains plentiful even now, so he can first find Da Yi Quan and then have Da Yi Quan locate Hu Zi.

Da Yi Quan naturally became the liaison between him and Hu Zi.

Wu An hurriedly instructed Da Yi Quan.

Da Yi Quan left quickly.

After the dolphins left, Wu An thought for a moment and said, 'Lao Fu, start the boat; let's head back first.'

A Qing became anxious: 'Brother, are we going to flee?'

Wu An smiled: 'This is a strategic retreat.'

Lao Fu Tou quickly started the fishing boat, saying: 'A An, the enemy's fishing boats have clearly sped up; they must have spotted us.'

Wu An said: 'Lao Fu, don't panic.'

'Keep the speed steady.'

'As long as we don't let them encircle us, we'll be fine.'

'I need to first check the enemy's fishing boats; if they have heat weapons, we'll just run away directly; otherwise, even if Hu Zi comes, I worry he won't be able to withstand it.'

Lao Fu Tou nodded.

Wu An looked at the others and said sternly: 'Everyone, go back to the rest room.'

'I won't let anyone out, and no one is allowed to come out.'

A Qing shouted: 'Brother, I'm not going.'

Wu An went up and kicked him.

A Qing became obedient.

The others also stopped speaking, returned to the rest room, and closed the door.

Even if the enemy has heat weapons, everyone's safety can still be ensured.

Wu An watched Lao Fu Tou smoking, couldn't help swallowing, and felt an itch in his mouth; he really wanted to smoke a cigarette at that moment.

The atmosphere was set.

He took a cigarette and stuck it in his mouth, but didn't light it.

Lao Fu Tou glanced at him: 'Not lighting it?'

Wu An nodded, shifted the topic, and said: 'Lao Fu, our county is selecting outstanding youths; do you think I qualify?'

Lao Fu Tou laughed: 'If you ask me, I will definitely support you with both hands and feet.'

'But if you ask anyone else,'

'everyone will have to praise you as truly deserving.'

As for Wu An's deeds, he started from nothing, bought a trawler, invested in the homestay project, earned the honor of Seeing Justice and Courage, and gained recognition from the county and city leaders.

Listing these accomplishments one by one, how many youths in the county could stand alongside Wu An?

Wu An said: 'But that won't do.'

'They don't mention our name.'

'So I'm thinking of taking down Ma Weiqun, achieving a great feat, so that people can notice us.'

Lao Fu Tou nodded: 'Then this risk is worth taking.'

Wu An smiled.

Lao Fu Tou said: 'A An, you don't need to have any worries.'

'Everyone is following you.'

'We share honor together, we share loss together.'

'When we make money, you're good, I'm good, everyone's good; when trouble comes, I dare say that not a single person on our boat will shrink back.'

'Feel free to put your mind at ease.'

'If anything happens, we will definitely bear it together with you.'

Wu An nodded; some things he knows in his heart, but the words still need to be spoken.

After all, whether it's Ma Weiqun or causing trouble with the enemy's fishing boats, these are actually his ideas; he never asked whether everyone was willing.

You say A Qing is very willing.

That doesn't count.

Taking everyone on an adventure, he still feels somewhat guilty.

Some things need to be said out loud.

Everyone should be open-minded; if later things go wrong, it won't lead to settling old scores.

Soon.

The enemy's several fishing boats gave chase.

During this chase, Lao Fu Tou said: 'A An, the enemy has a total of three boats.'

Wu An asked: 'I think there are only two.'

Lao Fu Tou said, "There's another ship following behind."

Wu An cursed, "Damn, really sneaky."

Lao Fu Tou analyzed, "I guess they noticed our flag, plus we left the island, so instinctively they became more wary of us."

The fishing boat is getting closer.

The other fishing boat's lights flashed, Lao Fu Tou said, "A An, they're signaling with lights, asking us to reduce speed."

Wu An asked, "Can we reply with two words?"

"Which two words?"

"Damn it."

"Hahaha, that definitely can't."

"Let's keep normal speed, ignore them."

They are currently near the midline, in a relatively chaotic no-man's-land; as long as the other side aren't armed so-called law enforcement, they don't need to be too timid.

The premise is we must not let them board forcibly.

If it's like a "minivan", with a boat rushing out a hundred or so people, they'd just have to accept defeat.

The other side caught up, shouting loudly, demanding they stop the boat.

Their whiny Mandarin makes it obvious what sort of people they are.

Wu An listened, then suddenly locked eyes with Lao Fu Tou, both shouting in unison: "This voice sounds a bit familiar."

Wu An said somewhat excitedly, "It's that guy who asked for help after his fishing boat ran aground and sank."

"Really, fate brings enemies together."

Lao Fu Tou nodded, "The voice sounds very similar; it should be him."

Wu An hid in the cabin, grabbed a loudspeaker and replied, telling them to get lost, otherwise they'll regret it later.

He deliberately provoked.

Lao Fu Tou repeatedly assured there would be no chance for the other fishing boat to approach, so Wu An saw no need to be polite and started cursing outright.

If the other side had any heat weapons, they'd surely bring them out to intimidate him.

But after chasing for a while, the other side kept just talking trash, so Wu An's tension eased and he discussed things with Lao Fu Tou.

Lao Fu Tou also thought the other side likely lacked heat weapons, since such weapons aren't easy to come by, though not absolutely; compared to them, the other side has many loopholes to exploit.

Said but it's as if nothing was said.

In any case, caution is best.

Wu An thought it over, then simply laid his cards on the table, saying they were here to catch fugitives and had already notified the relevant authorities to send law enforcement boats.

Let them be sensible and get lost.

The other side fell silent for a moment, then Lao Fu Tou warned that their fishing boat had sped up again.

"Hand over the person!"

The other side's fox tail showed.

Wu An silently thought, "As expected."

The other side seemed to recognize Wu An's voice, then shifted tone: "Kid, is it you?"

"Last time you wrecked our fishing boat."

"This time you want to ruin our business again, right?"

Wu An smiled smugly: "So what if it's me?"

"Our ancestors have a saying: 'Eat a pit, gain wisdom.'"

"You remember the meal but not the beating."

"Keep following like this, and later I'll take you and your boat altogether!"

The other side cursed and swore.

Wu An thought to himself, "Steady," and that provoking them like this would surely make them reveal any heat weapons.

Now we just wait for Hu Zi to arrive.

Then we'll net them all in one go!

Since we want to achieve merit, let's make a big move.
