Chapter 440 - Chapter 440 Chapter 308 Who is Really Called Old Six_4

Chapter 440: Chapter 308: Who is Really Called Old Six?_4 Chapter 440: Chapter 308: Who is Really Called Old Six?_4 This kind of thing is something only Chen Yang and Chu Mingcheng, who are not short on money and can get high rankings, would do, it’s just that the latter has more cunning methods.

After spending well over half an hour, the two finally hauled the thoroughly cooled bluefin tuna out of the sea.

Of course, when they got it to the side of the boat, they had to pretend to struggle with it using a gaff for a little while.

From a distance, Wang Lao Liu did not show any dissatisfaction when he saw Chu Mingcheng and his partner pull up a fish first; on the contrary, he was very excited, for it was a bluefin tuna.

If the other party had caught one, then there had to be more beneath the water.

Currently, two groups of crew on his boat had hooked fish, and soon they might reel in two bluefin tuna.

Taking such a big advantage, the one who should be annoyed was Chu Mingcheng.

On the Sea God, after the caught bluefin tuna had its tail cut and water gushing into its mouth, some blood was flushed out again.

Clearly, simply cutting the artery by the fish gills was not enough to bleed it out completely.

After hoisting the fish into the cold storage, Chu Mingcheng went back to the side of the boat, stripped off his clothes, put on a headlamp, and prepared to jump back into the water.

A little while later, he once again made his way to the Huangdao.

After more than half an hour, crew rotation was faster in terms of fishing.

If he chose to take one fish and leave, then it was highly likely that the other would be caught.

Stealing his fish, how could Chu Mingcheng let Wang Lao Liu gain anything? Empty-handed was his inevitable outcome.

So he first went to the left side of the boat, directly driving the fish to swim under the hull, deciding not to take this smaller fish back.

Seeing this, the crew immediately shouted, notifying Wang Lao Liu to adjust the position of the fishing boat.

But the fish underwater was being chased by someone; wherever the boat went, Chu Mingcheng followed.

When the fish ran under the boat, he immediately swam up to the bottom of the boat and slashed at the fishing line with a dagger, cutting it off.

The snapping fishing line made Wang Lao Liu and the rest of the crew’s faces look particularly ugly; it was normal for the hook to come off, and for the fish to swim under the boat and cut the line.

Although the location where the line broke was suspicious, they did not think too much about it.

The crew indeed took some precautions, even using sticks to keep the fishing line from touching the boat, but how would they know that there was an Old Six lurking beneath?

Everyone was equally infuriated, but they could only chalk it up to bad luck – no one to blame.

However, when the sub-line on the right side broke after that, Wang Lao Liu and the crew finally felt that something was amiss.

But since the sub-line looked as if it had been worn through by the fish’s teeth, they could not think of any other reason – it really did seem like plain bad luck.

Little did they know, someone had cut through the fish’s artery and, holding the sub-line against the fish’s teeth, rubbed it nearly through before cutting it with a dive knife.

Another forty minutes passed, and when Wang Lao Liu saw Chu Mingcheng’s side hook another bluefin tuna, his face turned extremely dark, and he lost the excitement he had at the start.

The crew felt the same way; having missed three fish, no one had the energy to continue.

Moreover, they hadn’t rested in the afternoon and had been busy for a good while at night; the combination of physical and mental exhaustion made it difficult for them to persist.

But after all, they were employees; with the boss not giving the word to rest and with fish still beneath the water, they had no choice but to keep going.

However, it was clear that everyone’s movements were not as nimble as before, and it seemed as if they were all just going through the motions.

Wang Lao Liu saw this but was helpless.

He was well aware of the dissatisfaction in the crew’s hearts. If they were to get angry and walk out, how could he continue in the competition?

Just when the fourth and fifth fish got away for various reasons, one of the crew members furiously slammed the fishing rod onto the deck and said, “I’m done fishing; whoever wants to fish this damn fish can go ahead, I’m going back to sleep.”

“No more fishing, no more fishing. We work ourselves to death and the fish always get away. I’ve been saying with all the tracking and stealing fish, retribution would come. Look, isn’t this retribution?”

“Sigh, sleep, sleep. If it comes down to it, we’ll just change bosses!”

With someone leading the way, the crew members one by one went on strike, directly ignoring the disgraced Wang Lao Liu and heading back to the cabins to rest.

But he had no choice and could only watch as the crew members walked into the cabin one after another, not even daring to come out of the pilothouse.

After a long while, having smoked two cigarettes, he let out a sigh.

Seeing another fish hit on the Sea God, and Chu Mingcheng reappearing on the deck, he hesitated.

He was a bit skeptical, but then he shook his head and laughed it off, as if to mock the foolish thought he had just had.

“Let’s go, let’s go. Following others sure didn’t work out, better to find my own fish!”

After that, Wang Lao Liu started up the Huangdao and left the waters.

There were plenty of bluefin tuna in the area, and as an angling master, if he got serious, his harvest wouldn’t necessarily fall short.

Of course, he had no chance against the overpowered Chu Mingcheng.

Jiang Luoluo noticed the commotion, “Ah Cheng, Wang Lao Liu is leaving!”

“With the fish really taking off, anyone would have had enough!” The departure of Wang Lao Liu also came as a surprise to Chu Mingcheng, but clearly, the other party had made the right choice.

As long as he wanted, Wang Lao Liu wouldn’t have a chance to catch a large fish.
