Chapter 687: Click Where It's Needed

Wu An's tolerance toward Shen Nan had long reached its limit.

Before, it was because of Old Village Chief Shen that he kept his hand back when dealing with Shen Nan.

Before.

Father was working in the village.

Old Village Chief Shen helped a lot.

Although later the old village chief did many favoritism acts for Shen Nan.

But that favor must be repaid.

Precisely because of that.

He kept yielding to Shen Nan.

Otherwise, dealing with Shen Nan would be as easy as a snap compared to the methods he used on Jing He.

Wu An said bluntly, "Shen Nan, Lin Hu is now working with me; his affairs, I will intervene."

Shen Nan's face changed, "Wu An, then how do you intend to intervene?"

"Simple, let's settle the score."

"You teamed up with Chen Gui to trouble me, spreading rumors in the village; I have noted all of those deeds."

"You…"

"No need to deny; since I say so, it's because I have some grasp of the situation."

Shen Nan's expression turned extremely sour.

Wu An smiled, "You don't have to worry too much; I'm not a police officer, I won't do anything to you."

"This matter is actually trivial; I can also not mind it."

"You understand, right?"

Shen Nan gritted his teeth, "So you mean you used Lin Hu against me?"

Wu An replied calmly, "It would be better to say I turned the scheme back on itself."

"You asked Lin Hu to deal with me, Lin Hu turned his head and reported the matter to me."

"You should look for your own problems."

Shen Nan, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, exploded, "What problem do I have?"

Wu An retorted, "What are you afraid of?"

"I… I don't have any?"

"Then you've been striking at me all along?"

"I haven't."

"There's no need to deny; Lin Hu told me you kept telling them to strike first."

"But have you become strong?"

Shen Nan: "…"

Wu An shook his head, saying, "I have no intention of taking action against you; I'm waiting for you to bring about your own ruin."

"The village projects haven't made any progress yet, have they?"

"What about the funds?"

"What about the personnel?"

"By now you still don't have anything you can show off."

Shen Nan shouted in a fit of rage, "It's not my turn to worry."

Wu An said lightly, "Still looking for trouble with Lin Hu?"

Shen Nan turned and pushed past people, leaving.

Shen Nan was extremely angry.

Only then did he realize that Wu An never really considered him.

After Shen Nan left, Lin Hu wore a look of shame.

Wu An patted his shoulder, "Don't panic."

"It's not a big deal."

He looked at the others and smiled, "I made a joke of you."

Everyone shook their heads.

Early the next morning.

Set out to sea.

Luck Value approached the three‑thousand threshold.

It wouldn't run out.

Every net was a burst net; the opportunity had reached its limit, and without going to Wu An, more than two hundred Luck Value was consumed inside.

Everyone worked from morning till night; since there were many people, two shifts were arranged to alternate, giving everyone rest, and Trawling could run nonstop for fourteen hours a day.

In just two days, the storage burst.

A recall order was issued; everyone was so exhausted they didn't want to move.

…

Wu An was so eager to return, not only because of the burst hold but also because the Double Ninth Festival was approaching.

The Double Ninth Festival of his previous life.

He had just fled to another place.

Lost and at a loss.

And now.

Celebrating the Double Ninth Festival with family, climbing high to enjoy the view, how pleasant.

At the same time.

The newspaper reports the donation situation.

Provincial outstanding youth representative, rural entrepreneurship pioneer, county labor model, all these honors are added to Wu An.

Brother's allocation also made progress.

After the leaders learned of it, they attached great importance, demanding the Wu Ping allocation issue be resolved quickly, and they also called Wu An, saying this was our work's negligence.

After celebrating with family, they set out to sea again.

These days.

Chen Lao Da's days are hard; Jing He was arrested, the fish boat sale issue was not settled, the Chen Family members looked for him three times a day, forcing him to advance the payment.

Chen Lao Da doesn't have that much money.

Even if he did, he could not hand the money out in advance to the other members of the Chen Family.

If the boat cannot be sold for that much, wouldn't he incur a loss?

Now they can only wait.

Wait for Jing He to be released.

He also contacted Xiao Cang and Hai Shen, wanting to make a two‑pronged preparation.

Xiao Cang met him and said, "Brother, I heard there's something wrong with your boat."

"Whoever takes your boat will get into trouble."

Chen Lao Da's complexion changed drastically: "Who did you hear that from?"

"Nonsense."

"That's pure nonsense."

Xiao Cang smiled, "Three… already three boat owners have had accidents."

"Is that so?"

He couldn't answer; he, Ma Weiqun, Jing He… aren't they three people?

Xiao Cang said, "With such ill‑omen, I wouldn't dare to buy."

"Unless the price is cheap enough."

Chen Lao Da's face flushed: "How cheap?"

Xiao Cang: "A thirty‑percent discount."

"A broken‑bone price."

"I think it's worth considering."

Chen Lao Da sprang up: "Impossible!"

Xiao Cang sipped tea: "Then never mind."

The two left on bad terms.

…

After two voyages.

The second Trawler was officially delivered; on the trial‑run day, the system upgraded again.

Perhaps because there are now two Trawlers, the system also knows he can be on only one fishing boat at a time.

Finally came the feature Wu An most anticipated: remote Luck Boost.

He no longer needs to go to sea with the boat; he can remotely monitor Luck Value usage from home, and a tap of his finger can grant tools a Luck Boost.

Wu An immediately made the arrangements.

He, A Qing, Lao Fu Tou and Mei Wu returned to the small boat; Fu Yongning was on the old Trawler, and the new fishing boat was handled by Fan Dali.

Both of them are very steady; with them on the fishing boat, Wu An can be at ease.

The reason he took A Qing and the others out on the small boat was that the scheduled time to retrieve the White Butterfly Clam had arrived.

Besides retrieving the White Butterfly Clam, there is another person: Wu An plans to look for the gloomy wood he previously discarded.

He intends to monetize it.

Now the two Trawlers are very profitable, but he still feels it's not enough.

Mainly because what he's about to undertake is huge, involving investments of hundreds of millions, even billions.

It's not that he's being reckless.

It's that the opportunity has arrived; he must seize it, otherwise wouldn't he become the shame of the reincarnated?

On the other side.

Gu Anran's household is far from peaceful.

Gu Jianfa started causing trouble again, even sneaking into the newly started supermarket project to wreak havoc, and while Gu Anran was away, he took tens of thousands of cash.

Gu Anran originally planned to hide it, but the old lady found out, making her furious.

Wu An, upon learning, immediately carried out the plan to have Gu Jianfa taken away for illegal labor.

He let the old lady summon Gu Jianfa, using the stolen money as bait.

The money is no longer wanted.

But they must sign an agreement to sever ties.

Gu Jianfa signed outright; he never took the agreement seriously, because as long as there's no money, he'll cause trouble at home.

He found Elder Five, reported Gu Jianfa's plan to flee, and also arranged Gu Jianfa's train ticket and other evidence.

Lao Tan, upon seeing this, immediately seized Gu Jianfa, who had just come out of the casino.

Gu Jianfa cut off ties with the old lady, gave up everything, and that made Lao Tan very angry.

Earlier he borrowed money just to get the Gu family's homestead, but now he has nothing at all.

He directly contacted the black factory and packaged Gu Jianfa and Guang Liangjun together to send them off.
