Chapter 273: Chapter 273 Eating Alligator Turtle

The boss’s face showed a look of envy, and the boss’s wife also lowered her head.

At that moment, when they spotted two familiar figures stepping out of the car.

The boss and his wife exchanged glances and then came over enthusiastically.

"Hey, isn’t that Teacher Ye?"

"Teacher Ye, that Range Rover is really dashing, suits your style perfectly!"

The boss and his wife kept flattering by the side.

Ye Chen and Liao Xuexue were also chatting with them, off and on.

After all, it was Ye Chen who had driven, while the old guys from the Jiang City River squad rode their little electric scooters.

Plus, they were planning to bring their catch of the day home before coming here.

So Ye Chen and Liao Xuexue started chatting with the boss and his wife right there.

After gossiping for a bit, Ye Chen then remembered that there was still a tough dish on today’s menu.

Thereupon, he took the Alligator Turtle, which had been tied up by Liao Xuexue, out of the car.

The boss and his wife were startled when they saw this odd and unusual creature.

"Holy cow, Teacher Ye, what is that, Godzilla?"

"It almost looks like a mythical chimera, indeed very strange."

Ye Chen chuckled and explained to them, "This creature is called an Alligator Turtle, it’s considered an invasive species, but it’s edible. Please help me deal with this Alligator Turtle today, boss."

"Teacher Ye, this wouldn’t happen to be..." The boss took the lively Alligator Turtle and then his eyes twitched.

Could this be Teacher Ye’s catch of the day?

Before the boss could finish, Ye Chen nodded with a troubled expression on his face.

"Yes, I caught it."

"Teacher Ye, you are really amazing; you catch more than just fish..." The boss’s wife stopped mid-sentence, suddenly feeling that it was somewhat impolite to say so.

So she swallowed the words back down.

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and then followed Liao Xuexue, along with the boss and his wife, into the house.

As usual, the boss went into the kitchen to do the hard work, preparing a braised Alligator Turtle for everyone.

The boss’s wife sat at the table, chatting with Ye Chen and Liao Xuexue.

"Wow, Teacher Ye, you and this young girl really have a bit of a couple’s look."

"What’s the relationship between you two now, how far has it progressed?"

"When you two get married, you have to let our family come to the wedding feast!"

These past few weeks, every time Ye Chen and the old guys from the Jiang City River squad came here, Liao Xuexue’s presence was there.

Thus, the shrewd boss’s wife naturally noticed the extraordinary relationship between the two.

Furthermore, since she loved gossiping, she asked a few more probing questions.

This left Liao Xuexue beside her with a blushing face; she lowered her head, and shyly said,

"I... I’m just ordinary friends with Teacher Ye..."

"Ordinary friends? Teacher Ye, this..."

The boss’s wife seemed somewhat incredulous at her own misjudgment.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen gave her a few noncommittal replies, his mind elsewhere.

Right now, all he could think about was how to deal with the trouble Cui Ruogou caused him with the fishing wheel incident.

Where would he have the time to engage in small talk with the boss’s wife?

Ye Chen sat on the chair, rarely lighting up a cigarette and started smoking.

He squinted, knowing that if he wasn’t careful, he could easily find himself in trouble.

Such matters were disgusting; sometimes the netizens knew perfectly well that Cui Ruogou was spouting nonsense and framing others.

Yet, they still chose to turn a blind eye, ignoring the truth of the matter.

They were only concerned about venting their emotions online.

This left Ye Chen somewhat helpless.

Because even if the truth of the matter was proven later, there was no guarantee that he could shake off the incident.

How should he properly resolve this issue?

Just as Ye Chen was deep in thought,

the local Jiang City evening news was playing on the television, suddenly broadcasting a piece of news.

The news anchor spoke in a standard announcer’s tone: "Good evening, dear viewers. Welcome to Jiang City evening news."

"This morning, a press conference was held at Jiang City TV Station. The conference content was simple – it was to commend Ye Chen, the fisherman who has recently become famous across the internet."

"Jiang City officials, in recognition of Ye Chen’s exceptional contributions to Jiang City, awarded him five hundred thousand in cash as a reward and also named him one of Jiang City’s Five-Good Youth."

"Next up, we have live footage..."

Ye Chen and Liao Xuexue were not particularly surprised by the content broadcasted in the news.

After all, both of them had attended the event that morning.

However, the lady boss sitting nearby was utterly shocked by the news report.

She looked at Ye Chen with admiration and gave him a thumbs up: "Mr. Ye, you really are something. Who would have thought you’d be named one of our Jiang City’s Five-Good Youth? Truly a young talent!"

Ye Chen smiled and waved his hands dismissively: "What young talent, you flatter me. I’m just an ordinary fisherman."

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, the door to the barbecue shop was pushed open.

Old Man Liao barged in with a casual demeanor.

Perhaps he overheard what Ye Chen had just said outside the door, so as soon as he entered, he started to brag to the lady boss.

"Lady boss, don’t take Mr. Ye’s modesty at face value."

"Didn’t you watch Mr. Ye’s live stream today?"

"Mr. Ye caught a ten-pound bar of gold in the pond, a whole box full!"

After entering, Old Man Liao, spitting and sputtering, began boasting to the lady boss about what had happened that day.

His story was so confusing and exaggerated it was hard to describe.

First, Old Man Liao recounted how Ye Chen used mud to catch gold.

Then he brought up the story of Ye Chen confronting the former local big shot Wang Long.

Since the lady boss had also heard about Wang Long,

she was incredibly shocked upon learning about it.

Meanwhile, the boss busy processing alligator turtle in the kitchen also poked his head out.

"Damn! Is Mr. Ye that badass? He knocked out all of Wang Long’s teeth?"

Ye Chen twitched the corner of his eye and reluctantly gave the boss a smile.

"It’s not as exaggerated as Old Liao says, I just knocked out one of his molars!"

After hearing this, the boss looked at Ye Chen with admiration and gave him a big thumbs up.

Then, under the fierce gaze of the lady boss, he timidly retreated back to the kitchen to cook.

It wasn’t long before the old guys from the Jiang City River small squad gathered in the barbecue shop.

Some twenty people crammed into the already small barbecue shop, making it seem quite crowded.
