I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier

Chapter 318: Chapter 318 Wang Ju Agrees to the Plan

Jiang City Police Station.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Come in."

Wang Lindong opened the thermos in front of him, looked at the goji berries inside, gently blew on them, then took a sip.

"Chief Wang."

As soon as Wang Lindong looked up, he saw Zhou Tao entering the room.

"Weren’t you out on a mission? How did you get back so soon?"

Not long ago, Wang Lindong had seen Zhou Tao leave with a few team members in a police car, and he didn’t expect him to return so quickly.

"Chief Wang, you would never guess what my mission was this time!"

"Oh?"

"Spill the beans already, don’t hold it in!"

Seeing Zhou Tao’s expression, Wang Lindong knew he must have something to tell him.

Zhou Tao awkwardly scratched his head, "Indeed, there’s nothing that can get past Chief Wang."

"But this time I’m looking for Chief Wang to talk about the task that the higher-ups recently gave us, which could help our department."

"Which task are you referring to?" Wang Lindong asked with a meaningful look.

"The one where they asked us to make a propaganda film, to promote legal awareness among the community," Zhou Tao said with a smile.

"You’re talking about that task? It’s giving me a headache. We have no experience in this kind of thing in our department!"

"Then tell me, how should we complete this work?" Chief Wang took another sip of goji tea and asked nonchalantly.

"Do you still remember the young man named Ye Chen?"

"My mission this time couldn’t get away from that kid."

"Ye Chen? What did he do now?"

"You would never believe it, but this time, that kid caught a Tiger Head Eagle!"

Hearing this, Chief Wang’s eyes widened, looking at Zhou Tao with skepticism.

He started to ponder.

Are you joking with me?

The kid catches water pythons, corpses, antiques, all of that I could somewhat understand.

Now you’re telling me he’s fishing things out of the sky?

And it’s a nationally protected animal, the Tiger Head Eagle!

Are you here to make fun of me?

Or are you saying that you’re tired of being a team leader and want to be demoted to the grassroots level?

Seeing Wang Lindong’s expression, Zhou Tao showed a bitter smile.

"Chief Wang, I couldn’t believe it at first either when I heard the news."

"But after investigating, I found out that the Tiger Head Eagle was shot by a poacher. It just so happened that when it was hunting, its wound reopened, causing it to dive into the water and accidentally get caught on Ye Chen’s fishhook."

Hearing this, Wang Lindong felt as if he was listening to a story.

Such coincidences truly exist in this world.

But after thinking about it carefully, the things Ye Chen had done before were indeed quite mystical.

If it’s him that did it, it’s actually very possible.

"It’s pretty mystical indeed that he could hook it. So, how does this relate to the task you mentioned earlier, the one that can help the department?"

Chief Wang narrowed his eyes and took a sip of his goji tea.

"I’ve already checked it. Though the relevant departments haven’t issued a report yet, the wound on the Tiger Head Eagle is definitely from a gunshot. There should still be a bullet inside, probably fired from a homemade gun modified by the poacher."

"I remember Ye Chen just encountered this incident, and it occurred to me that we were supposed to shoot a legal education video, right?"

"So I asked him if he was interested. He could do it without payment, but my thinking was that we could give him the remaining funds from the shoot. After all, we need to show some appreciation."

"However, he seemed to be quite conscious about it, saying he didn’t want the money, but would donate it to the Animal Protection Association."

"Now that the person is settled, aren’t we able to complete that task?"

"Of course, but this matter still requires your approval, Wang Ju, that’s why I’ve come to report to you."

Zhou Tao didn’t forget to praise Ye Chen in front of Wang Ju.

He also understood Wang Ju’s personality and knew that this matter would most likely be settled.

"Let me think about it."

Wang Lindong sipped his tea several times, and during that time, Zhou Tao also refilled his cup with hot water several times.

After all, this matter wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either.

Small, because it’s just a video.

But big, because it’s about the legal education video, concerning the reputation of their police station.

If it’s not well made, it’s not just the entire police station that would be affected, but if someone with ulterior motives wanted to smear it, it would impact the whole of Jiang City.

Although Ye Chen is now a top-tier internet celebrity and has received several honorary banners,

it’s precisely for this reason that having Ye Chen star in the video would attract a lot of viewers.

If there are any issues with the shoot, or if any aspect isn’t good enough, there would be people who would point it out.

That’s why Wang Lindong needs to consider it carefully.

"By the way, Wang Ju, when that guy hooked the Tiger Head Eagle, he carried it like a chicken, insisting on removing the fishhook from it."

"In my opinion, to him, fishing is the most important thing!"

"I didn’t expect that when I casually mentioned it today, he would agree."

Zhou Tao said thoughtfully.

Having interacted with Ye Chen for so long, he was someone who understood Ye Chen’s temper and character.

Previously, he had seen Ye Chen catching a Water Python and patting its head.

In his view, Ye Chen was a professional angler who could catch anything except for actual fish, and was single-minded about fishing.

To have Ye Chen take other matters to heart was indeed rare.

Hearing Zhou Tao’s words, Wang Lindong’s eyes lit up, and he nodded secretly.

"Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you then. Have him come over and talk about the details."

"Wang Ju, leave it to me!"

Hearing that Wang Lindong had finally agreed, Zhou Tao also excitedly patted his chest, promising.

In truth, Zhou Tao had his own motivations for taking on the task.

It had been several years since he last contacted his friend who was a ranger.

So Zhou Tao planned to shoot footage of the ranger’s work deep in the mountains while filming the video, hoping to let everyone know about the hardships of their daily work.

Apart from keeping watch for forest fires, they have to clean up garbage left by tourists, help lost tourists out of the woodland, and even deal with poachers.

"By the way, call that kid over tomorrow. I haven’t had a proper talk with him yet, and this opportunity is a good time to chat."

As Zhou Tao was about to leave, Wang Lindong suddenly spoke up.

"No problem, Wang Ju."

Zhou Tao breathed a sigh of relief inside, thankful for his foresight in already telling Ye Chen to come to the police station tomorrow.

...

The next day, Ye Chen woke up, had breakfast, and after a bowl of soy milk and two dough sticks, around nine-ish, Ye Chen arrived at Jiang City Police Station.

As he had already been in touch with Zhou Tao.

So, when Ye Chen got to the entrance, he saw Zhou Tao waiting for him at the entrance’s guard booth.

"Zhou sir, why are you waiting for me at the entrance?"
