“You’re not even afraid of fishing up a corpse. Why are you afraid of giving me your personal particulars?” Zhou Tao teased. “Don’t worry, I’m just following the normal procedure. After all, you were the one who found the body.”
When he heard that, Ye Chen had no choice but to give his personal particulars to Zhou Tao’s colleagues.
At that moment, Zhou Tao’s cell phone suddenly rang.
A few seconds after Zhou Tao picked up the call, his expression became complicated.
“Buddies, I think we’ll have to work overtime tonight.” Zhou Tao waved his hand. “The night duty security guard of Jinbao District found an anaconda near the artificial lake. The people in the neighborhood are scared out of their wits. Let’s hurry over there and take a look.”
At this moment, Zhou Tao’s professionalism was evident.
Including Zhou Tao, the police officers immediately put on a stern expression again and began to run toward the police car not far away.
Zhou Tao did not forget to turn his head and wave at Ye Chen before he got into the car. “Young man, listen to my advice. Fishing is a bottomless pit. Find a good job, earn some money, and strive to make some contributions to society!”
After that, the officers turned on the police car’s strobe lights and left.
The river bank of Jiang City gradually quieted down.
The other fishing pros had already packed up their fishing gear and gathered around.
On the surface, everyone was celebrating Ye Chen’s success in obtaining the 200,000 reward.
However, in reality, this group of people just wanted Ye Chen to treat them to a late-night snack.
Ye Chen did not refuse them.
After all, he had known this group of fishing pros for a while. It was nothing to treat them to a meal to celebrate.
Just then, Ye Chen noticed Mr. Liao trying to sneak away.
“Mr. Liao, why are you running away? Our bet hasn’t been settled yet!” Ye Chen shouted behind Mr. Liao’s back. “You’re not trying to back out now, are you?”
Mr. Liao stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said with a smile, “Haha… Mr. Ye, look at my memory. I almost forgot about the bet!”
Ye Chen looked at Mr. Liao’s sly smile. How could Ye Chen believe Mr. Liao said? Ye Chen immediately shouted, “Everyone, you all heard about my bet with Mr. Liao, didn’t you?”
Hearing that, Mr. Liao immediately became anxious and quickly said, “Mr. Ye, what are you saying? We made a bet on whether or not you’ll catch a big fish that’s more than 60 kilograms. But, where’s the fish? If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten. According to our bet conditions, you have to give me your two fishing rods!”
Ye Chen pursed his lips and patted Mr. Liao’s shoulder. He said with a smile, “Mr. Liao, you’re really thick-skinned. That wasn’t what we agreed on when we made the bet. I clearly said that I would catch a giant object weighing more than 60 kilograms! Everyone heard it.”
Since the corpse incident had more or less ended without any mishaps, the fishing pros were not as afraid as before.
In addition, Ye Chen had already agreed to treat them to a late-night snack, so they would naturally speak up for Ye Chen.
Most importantly, when Ye Chen had made the bet, he had indeed said that he would catch a giant creature of more than 60 kilograms, not a fish specifically.
Moreover, everyone wanted to see Mr. Liao’s face when he lost the bet.
“That’s right, Mr. Liao, that’s not very kind of you. If you’re willing to bet, you should be willing to accept your loss. Mr. Ye didn’t say that he would definitely catch a fish!”
“A fishing pro must be willing to accept their loss. You’re not worthy of your identity as a fishing pro like this, Mr. Liao. I’m looking down on you.”
“I still remember what Mr. Ye said before. He said that he would catch a giant object that weighed more than 60 kilograms in 2 hours. He didn’t say it would be a fish!”
“That’s right. Mr. Liao, although we’re on good terms, I’m on the side of justice this time. You have to accept your loss!”
…
The crowd was chatting leisurely at the side. Everyone at the scene thought that Mr. Liao had lost the bet.
And that was the truth.
After retirement, Mr. Liao had nothing to do, so he picked up his old hobby of fishing.
Although the bet with Ye Chen this time concerned his own granddaughter, Mr. Liao didn’t want to break his promise in front of his friends. In other words, the group of fishing pros by the river bank of Jiang City,
With that thought, Mr. Liao gritted his teeth and made up his mind. “F*ck! Fine, I’m willing to accept my loss. I, Angry Iron Hand, am not someone who goes back on his word. From tomorrow onwards, I’ll have my granddaughter assist Mr. Ye in fishing and help him carry his bucket. But I’m telling you, Chen, if you dare to think about pursuing my granddaughter, don’t blame me for cutting off ties with you!”
The fishing pros at the side said jokingly, “Haha, Mr. Liao, look at what you’re saying. While your granddaughter is an outstanding beauty, Mr. Ye is also a distinguished and elegant man.”
“That’s right. I feel that other than fishing, Mr. Ye isn’t bad at anything else!”
“If he gets together with your granddaughter, you might be able to hold a great-grandson next year!”
“Yeah, Mr. Liao, you’ll probably be grinning from ear to ear then, right?”
When Mr. Liao heard the words “great-grandson” and looked at Ye Chen’s smirk in the distance, he immediately flew into a rage.
Mr. Liao shouted at the old man who had just spoken, “F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!”
The crowd burst into laughter at Mr. Liao’s curses.
The laughter rose and fell by the river bank of Jiang city, washing away the terrifying atmosphere.
Ye Chen liked this kind of atmosphere very much. For a moment, he was in a good mood.
“In that case, let’s do it as per usual,” Ye Chen said, waving his hand. “Let’s put our fishing gear back home first, and then meet at the usual place. Let’s eat skewers today. It’s my treat!”
After saying that, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows at Mr. Liao and smiled. “Mr. Liao, do you want to come along?”
“I’m going to eat until you go bankrupt!” Seeing Ye Chen’s smug expression, Mr. Liao snorted and could not help but roll his eyes at him.
When he returned to his fishing spot, Mr. Liao showed Ye Chen his harvest for the night and did not forget to tease him. “Chen, don’t be too proud. After all, didn’t you get skunked again tonight?”
Ye Chen’s smile froze.
Meanwhile, the fishing pros at the side began to defend Ye Chen, the man who was treating them to a meal. “Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Liao, you can’t say that. Mr. Ye didn’t get skunked today! After all…”
“You’re not even afraid of fishing up a corpse. Why are you afraid of giving me your personal particulars?” Zhou Tao teased. “Don’t worry, I’m just following the normal procedure. After all, you were the one who found the body.”
