Chapter 677: The Dolphin Was Targeted

On the fishing boat.

Jing He urged: "Get closer, even closer!"

Lao Feng shook his head: "Boss Jing, we can't get any closer."

"The two boats are working; if we get close, if the nets get tangled, it'll be big trouble."

"It's definitely all our fault."

Jing He looked through the binoculars.

But it's really not clear; we can only see the dolphin pod surrounding the Peaceful, and we can't see whether Wu An and the dolphins are interacting.

Lao Feng asked: "Boss Jing, what exactly do you want to see?"

Jing He snorted coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't."

Lao Feng sensibly shut his mouth.

When the time came.

He called out to haul the net.

As a result, the limp net bag came up, and a sigh went up on the deck.

"This shouldn't be happening."

"The Peaceful's net bag always comes up full each time; we're not that far away, and even if we're not as good as them, it shouldn't be this bad."

"Could it be that Wu An's luck is too strong, drawing our catch away?"

"Impossible!"

"Forget it, let's open it first and talk later."

Lao Feng went to untie the net; after opening it, there was some catch, but not much, and instead there was a lot of trash.

Someone came over and asked: "Should we drop the net again?"

Lao Feng looked at Jing He, still holding the binoculars, shook his head: "I think the Peaceful isn't dropping the net again; we should rest too."

After working hard all day, we ended up with hardly any catch.

If it were other boat owners, they'd probably have blown their tops by now.

But Jing He didn't.

"So frustrating, really frustrating." Lao Feng sighed; Jing He's unusual behavior made him feel uneasy, as if he'd experienced something like this before.

……

Jing He looked through the binoculars, and Wu An was also looking at him.

Wu An gave the binoculars to Lao Fu Tou; Lao Fu Tou took a look and said, "Jing He seems to be observing the dolphins!"

Wu An's heart gave a jolt.

What Lao Fu Tou said matched what he had thought.

It seems he wasn't overthinking it.

A Qing felt a bit down: "Why didn't we catch up?"

Since Jing He wasn't looking for trouble, they wouldn't take the opportunity to cause problems.

This left him feeling disappointed.

Mei Wu said doubtfully: "Could it be that Jing He followed us here just to watch the dolphins through us?"

"He couldn't possibly be a hardcore dolphin enthusiast, could he?"

During this period, others have also come to him asking about dolphins; they envy his ability to encounter dolphins and receive their help.

Wu An shook his head.

Jing He is not that kind of person.

The earlier incident where Ma Weiqun attacked the dolphins is still fresh in his mind; he does not spare great malice in guessing Jing He's purpose, which is likely similar to Ma Weiqun's—he probably wants to harm the dolphins.

Thinking of this,

Wu An's face turned cold, regardless of whether he was overthinking, he still hurriedly said a few words to Da Yi Quan, letting him take the dolphin pod and leave quickly, and also warned Da Yi Quan to stay far away from fishing boats at all costs.

Regardless of whether he was overthinking, he quickly told Big Circle to take the dolphin pod away quickly and urged Big Circle to stay far from fishing boats.

No matter what fishing boat, try not to get close.

If danger occurs, go find him or Hu Zi; earlier, he had told Hu Zi not to bully Big Circle's dolphins, to help each other and watch out for one another.

Big Circle called twice, nodded, waited until all the dolphins had eaten the ice cubes, then led the dolphin pod away.

Wu An looked at Lao Fu Tou and said: "Lao Fu, while it's dark, shake off Jing He."

Originally I wasn't planning to bother with it, but since Jing He is now showing abnormal behavior, I can't just do nothing.

Originally he hadn't planned to pay attention, but since Jing He is now showing abnormal behavior, he can't just do nothing.

……

Jing He lowered the binoculars and asked, "Elder Feng, can you get along with the Shanghai dolphin?"

Jing He lowered the binoculars and asked: "Old Feng, can you follow the dolphins?"

Old Feng: "Follow the dolphins?"

Jing He asked: "Can you?"

Old Feng shook his head: "No, you definitely can't."

Jing He: "Trash."

Then they saw the Peaceful start moving.

Then they saw the Peaceful start moving.

Jing He hurriedly shouted: "You must keep up!"

As a result, they followed and followed.

After Jing He learned, he was furious, scolding Old Feng so harshly that his blood spurted, and Old Feng sighed: "There's nothing we can do; sailing at night is inherently more dangerous, and the Peaceful even deliberately heads toward the reefs."

"This goes around and around, there's simply no way to keep up."

"If I hadn't stopped the ship, something would definitely have happened."

Jing He dismissed Old Feng.

He closed the Gate and took out a satellite phone to make a call.

"Hey, we can now confirm that Wu An and the dolphin indeed have some mysterious connection."

"Right, the dolphin came on its own."

"That's easy to understand; some people are naturally closer to marine creatures, much like in an aquarium, but this is innate, whereas the aquarium's is artificial."

"I reckon it's not just the dolphin, but also the Killer Whale…"

"Alright."

"I'll definitely see this through."

……

"A An, we've already successfully shaken it off," Lao Fu Tou said with a smile. Turning back, he saw Wu An dozing off; hearing the voice, Wu An groggily woke up: "Shaken off?"

Lao Fu Tou nodded.

Wu An glanced at the time; it was already late night, after running for four or five hours: "Lao Fu, thanks for the effort."

Lao Fu Tou shook his head, saying it wasn't a hardship, and smiled: "We ran far here; who knows, tomorrow our haul might be great."

Wu An nodded: "This trip, we'll hit the jackpot and then return."

"With you saying that, it's settled," Lao Fu Tou grinned, showing yellow teeth. If we can hit the jackpot and return, it could be a million‑plus income, and I'd get a few tens of thousands.

……

Wu An woke up, walked onto the Deck, and just saw the red sun rising; the morning wind and waves were strong, the sea lifted the light, slicing the sunlight into pieces.

Beautiful as a painting.

He went to the cockpit to ask and learned that the first net had already been lowered.

"How deep?"

"Over three hundred meters."

"That's pretty deep," Wu An said, checking the system and seeing the Trawling Luck Value was low, so he hurried to the Deck and gave the Trawling a boost.

In such deep waters, the first net aimed for a strong start.

"Raise the net in half an hour."

Wu An saw the Luck Value dropping fast, knowing this net couldn't be bad; slamming two hundred points of Luck Value should bring some surprise.

Had breakfast.

Raised the net.

Wu An, eager for this net's haul, put on his straw hat and went to the Deck to watch.

"Who will raise the net?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Since this was the first net in the deep sea, everyone worried about a poor catch; though unspoken, each felt uneasy.

Seeing no one speak, Wu An said, "Then I'll do it."

As Fu Yongning's whistle kept sounding, everyone busied themselves in their duties.

"Creak—"

The hoist emitted a strained sound.

The fishing vessel tilted slightly; faced with this, everyone was excited.

"This net should be pretty good."

"It's out of the water."

"Damn, the net bag is so bulging!"

"It hasn't burst yet, good, great."

Fu Yongning whistled, shouting for everyone to stay back.

This net should weigh about six or seven tons; if it's all catch, we'd be truly prosperous!
