I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 134: Cui Ruogou on Thin Ice

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Cui Ruogou on Thin Ice

What made his headache worse was that his wife somehow found out about him mortgaging the house to invest in live streaming.

She insisted on divorcing him...

She didn’t even come to check on him when he was running a high fever.

And the reason he hadn’t rested so late, aside from his headache, was that a young man in his early twenties had just arrived at the clinic.

So, the nurses at the clinic were next door, helping to arrange the beds.

As for Cui Ruogou, he merely glanced at the group of people and was ready to close his eyes and sleep.

With a high fever for an afternoon, plus the whole night.

Even though he had an IV drip and his fever had gone down, he still felt uncomfortable.

He listened to the conversation of the people next to him and learned that the young man just had a bit of gastroenteritis.

Of course, that had nothing to do with him.

Cui Ruogou turned over in bed, planning to continue sleeping.

Suddenly, the young man in the next bed exclaimed.

"Damn, isn’t that Cui Ruogou?"

Cui Ruogou’s mouth twitched fiercely.

He lifted his eyelids and sized up the surprised young man opposite him.

He didn’t seem to know him at all...

But how did he recognize him?

Thinking this, Cui Ruogou sat up in bed, puzzled and asked, "Do you know me?"

At the same time, one of the younger nurses in the clinic raised an eyebrow too.

Equally surprised: "I didn’t expect it to really be Cui Ruogou!"

This...

Cui Ruogou was completely baffled.

He wasn’t a celebrity.

And just honestly coming to the clinic for an IV drip, how could so many people recognize him?

At that moment, Cui Ruogou’s eyes twitched fiercely.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

So many people recognizing him... was it related to that bastard Ye Chen?

You see, when he left Haina Baichuan Fish Pond, he had glanced at the back end of the Quick Shake APP.

Although he had live-streamed with Ye Chen today, and he himself was fished ashore by Ye Chen.

His follower count hadn’t increased much at all!

On the other hand, looking at Ye Chen, not only had his followers skyrocketed, but even Hua Country’s Fishing King Deng Long personally sent Ye Chen gifts!

So...

Could it be because of Ye Chen that these people in the clinic knew him?

The middle-aged man who looked like the young man’s elder spoke: "Xiaohua, do you know him?"

The young man named Xiaohua nodded: "I know him, he doesn’t know me..."

"Dad, remember I told you about the giant python incident at Jinbao Community that was reported online?"

"And that teacher Ye Chen who performs rituals before each fishing trip."

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly: "Well, I know, isn’t Jinbao Community the upscale neighborhood in the center of Jiang City?"

"Now everyone online is discussing this matter, what happened? Was the giant python caught? Or did that fisherman Ye Chen have an accident?"

"I don’t care much about these things online, Xiaohua, you should rest well."

The young man’s face was full of excitement as he spoke: "Dad, listen to me..."

"The property manager of Jinbao Community has just released an official announcement, agreeing to let Teacher Ye go fishing for the giant python."

"And this Cui Ruogou is the bait chosen by Teacher Ye Chen!"

At the same time, the nurse beside them also nodded, saying excitedly, "Yeah, we were just discussing this matter!"

"Can’t believe we actually ran into Cui Ruogou here!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Ruogou was completely numb!

Has the property management of Jinbao Community gone mad?

To actually invite Ye Chen, that bastard, to go snake fishing?

Cui Ruogou, of course, knew what this meant.

At the beginning, Ye Chen put on a mysterious air, indicating in front of the whole internet audience that if he wanted him to go snake fishing, he’d have to be the bait himself.

At that time, Cui Ruogou didn’t take Ye Chen’s video seriously at all.

After all, he thought that any sane person wouldn’t believe that Ye Chen could actually fish out the giant python from Jinbao Community!

Clearly, the police wouldn’t make such a decision.

But what Cui Ruogou never expected was.

This time it was the person in charge of Jinbao Community’s property management who came forward to invite Ye Chen to fish for the python.

And it was Cui Ruogou himself who initially proposed the idea for Ye Chen to go fishing for the python.

After all, the Cui Ruogou at that time believed that Ye Chen would not dare to go near Jinbao Community, and that it was impossible for him to fish up that ten-meter-long giant python.

So when he published the article back then, Cui Ruogou was full of sarcasm.

And stood on the moral high ground to criticize Ye Chen in all sorts of ways.

Who knew...

Cui Ruogou never imagined that Ye Chen would actually dare to provoke that ten-meter-long giant python.

At the same time... someone actually invited Ye Chen to go fishing!

Then...

Certainly, no one would actually believe that if he became the bait, he could fish out the giant python, right?

Suddenly, Cui Ruogou’s whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and he was no longer sleepy, hastily pulling out his phone.

He clicked into Weibo and after a quick scan, he was completely numb.

This is just...

Don’t these Weibo users have any intelligence at all?

Not only do so many people believe Ye Chen’s words, but now they are all over the internet looking for him, urging him to make a statement!

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Cui Ruogou then clicked into the Kuaishou platform.

This was even more terrifying.

Under the videos he had previously recorded, there were inundated with comments.

And in those comments, over ninety percent of the users suggested that Cui Ruogou become the bait.

Even some capable people straight-up leaked all of Cui Ruogou’s information.

Full name, cellphone number, home address.

Even the incident from when Cui Ruogou fell into the latrine in elementary school was somehow exposed by some internet deity.

If Cui Ruogou hadn’t recently invested in live streaming and changed his phone number, his own phone might have exploded by now!

What made Cui Ruogou even more helpless was that most of these comments were the brainless netizens’ moral coercion on him.

For instance...

"Cui Ruogou, what did you say before? Didn’t you say that with great power comes great responsibility? Since you’ve got the capability, then you need to stand up and do something!"

"Teacher Ye Chen has already said that he will go to fish for the python tomorrow; as the only bait capable of luring out the giant python, you need to make a statement!"

"That’s right, they’re asking you to be the bait, not to feed the giant python; Cui Ruogou, speak up quickly!"

"It’s too selfish, your own townspeople are threatened by the giant python, you have the ability to solve it, yet you choose to flee, what a scumbag!"

"Teacher Ye said only you fit the criteria, you are the only bait option; if you don’t go, and someone gets injured by the python later, you’ll be the primary responsible person!"

"Cui Ruogou, it’s most suitable for you to go, Teacher Ye also said only you meet the criteria, most suited to be the bait for fishing the python; if you don’t step forward, then you’ll be the criminal of Jinbao Community!"
