I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 177: Zhou Tao Arrives

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Zhou Tao Arrives

"The police and related experts are already on their way!"

After saying that, Ye Chen looked at the perplexed people in front of him.

It seemed that the value of the item he fished out surpassed his imagination.

In the following time,

the muddy, moss-covered vase that Ye Chen fished up seemed to be an incredible find.

The anglers at the fish pond lost interest in fishing.

Not daring to move the artifact themselves, they still stood by Ye Chen’s side, whispering amongst themselves.

Meanwhile, after hearing that the police had proactively contacted Ye Chen,

the fans in the live stream room began an even more intense discussion.

"Now we can be sure, the thing Teacher Ye caught is definitely a cultural relic."

"Can’t be certain just yet, can we? After all, the experts haven’t arrived."

"I think it’s very likely, otherwise, why would the police proactively contact the streamer? Surely some big shot in the live stream room recognized this thing."

"That girl just gave a very detailed introduction, let’s wait for the experts to appraise it."

"If this turns out to be fake, it’ll probably just be a laughing matter, but if it’s real, we could be in for some major news!"

"Nonsense, this is an artifact from over fifteen hundred years ago, from the early Tang dynasty, and it has early Tang dynasty characters on it, which are of special research significance."

"Don’t say, if this thing is real, Teacher Ye might hit the trending searches again today!"

"More than trending searches, he might even appear in the central media’s news flash today!"

"This is just outrageous!"

"Yesterday, the expert on the news flash was telling us to believe in science, but watching the whole process of Teacher Ye fishing out this object, I choose to believe in mysticism!"

"Right, do you think the streamer knew that what he was fishing was a cultural relic?"

"That girl just mentioned it, didn’t she? In the homes of some high officials and nobles in the early Tang dynasty, vases were originally used for storing wine. So, was Teacher Ye using wine to fish this thing out on purpose?"

"Holy crap, no way, are you saying Teacher Ye deliberately used Jiangcheng Old Wine to fish out this vase?"

...

Since everyone was waiting for the experts to arrive,

the bored audience in the live stream room began to notice something unusual.

As the comments in the live stream room suggested,

was this blue and white porcelain vase really fished out by Ye Chen.

After a discussion, the viewers in the live stream room made a new discovery.

"Who would use baijiu for fishing, as bizarre as this is, I still believe that the streamer did it on purpose to fish out the blue and white porcelain!"

"I feel the same way, think about it, when Teacher Ye was fishing for the giant python yesterday, didn’t he use a rubber duck? And it was a plush one!"

"Yesterday was one thing, but the day before yesterday was even more outrageous. The day before, Teacher Ye used a bag of Hardman (a brand) to fish out Cui Ruogou!"

"Also... didn’t anyone notice that before the blue and white porcelain was fished out, when Teacher Ye was pulling the rod, he was extremely careful, as if he was afraid of damaging the thing in the water."

"I remember now, at that time he also made a particular request, asking that girl next to him to be careful and use the net to slowly scoop it out!"

"Holy moly, that’s really something, if that’s the case, did Teacher Ye deliberately fish out this relic?"

"What’s so outrageous about that? For Ye Chen who knows mysticism, isn’t this just a basic skill?"

"I think you guys are overthinking it, wait until the experts arrive, what if they determine that the item Ye Chen fished out is fake?"

...

Of course.

After Ye Chen taught Cui Ruogou a thorough lesson,

there were no more haters or nitpickers in the live stream room afterward.

Hence, no one doubted that Ye Chen had someone hiding underwater in advance, attaching the item to the hook.

However, some viewers did raise their own questions.

After all, fishing out a 1,500-year-old artifact is quite outrageous.

Aren’t such relics usually found in the ground? How many are fished out from the water?

Of course.

Most viewers tune into Ye Chen’s live streams just to see him catch these outrageous things.

This blue and white porcelain vase definitely counts as something outrageous.

So, most people still believed in Ye Chen...

...

Inside Haina Baichuan Fish Pond.

About ten minutes later,

with the sound of sirens, several police cars drove in from the main entrance of Haina Baichuan Fish Pond.

Soon enough, a police officer, who was also an acquaintance of Ye Chen, led a team towards Ye Chen.

This officer, while looking stern, couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth.

"Kid, you’ve made me come out for policing three times in the last five days!"

"And each time at waterside!"

"What have you fished up this time?"

The newcomer was Zhou Tao, with whom Ye Chen had crossed paths several times!

Upon seeing this officer.

Before Ye Chen could speak up, some familiar old men around him took the lead to speak.

Their enthusiasm was as if they were greeting a relative.

"Captain Zhou!"

"Captain Zhou, come and take a look, this time Ye Chen didn’t cause trouble, he caught a blue and white porcelain!"

"Yes, it might be a cultural relic. This time you might be credited with a discovery!"

"Come and have a look, we didn’t dare to touch it!"

...

Hearing this,

Zhou Tao could no longer hold his composure.

As he walked towards the group, he couldn’t help but say with a resigned laugh, "I already knew about it, who do you think was the one who called this kid just now?"

The group of old men was startled.

But soon they pieced it together, realizing that the call Ye Chen mentioned from the police was made by Captain Zhou.

Quickly, the group of old men began inquiring one after another.

"Captain Zhou, how did you know about this?"

"Were you watching the live stream during working hours?"

"But it’s normal to slack off, the police work is tough!"

"Which expert did you speak of? If we hand over such a treasure to the nation, will Teacher Ye get a reward?"

...

Hearing the old men’s comments, Ye Chen was at a loss.

It seemed these folks were even more concerned about whether this object could earn him some money.

Were they planning on having him win a reward, then treat them to dinner tonight?

Zhou Tao, looking at the blue and white porcelain on the ground next to Ye Chen, also had a helpless expression.

Right now, these old men really didn’t treat him as an outsider, saying whatever came to their mind!
