Chapter 339: Chapter 339 Final Part of the Competition

"Thank you..." Chu Xuanxuan said softly, feeling very touched.

"No worries, it’s what I should do!" Ye Chen smiled, looking very approachable, "Okay, rest easy now."

"Mm." Chu Xuanxuan nodded obediently.

"I’ll go out and buy some food and daily necessities. If you need anything, you can press the bell by the bed and call for a nurse or a caretaker," Ye Chen said a few more words, then left the room.

This hospital was not very large, so Ye Chen easily found a shop selling daily necessities. After selecting daily items, he paid and left, returning to the hospital room.

After putting the items away properly, he walked over to Chu Xuanxuan’s bedside. By then, Chu Xuanxuan had already lain down, closed her eyes, and fallen asleep.

"She must be really exhausted," Ye Chen said, shaking his head.

Subsequently, he arranged for Chu Xuanxuan to stay in the hospital and went home himself.

...

The next morning, the final round of the fishing competition began.

Ye Chen brought his fishing tools and homemade fishing bait, found an excellent fishing spot, and started preparing to cast his line.

This time, his target was a carp weighing over five pounds, a rare sight in Nanjiang Lake City.

Because such fish live near the sea and usually swim over from deep waters.

Catching such a big carp requires very precise technique and a good quality fishing rod.

"I wonder if I can catch it?" Ye Chen was not very confident, although he was usually quite confident in his skills, but this time, as it was a gathering of experts, he was unsure of his own success.

"Phew!!!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by. Ye Chen frowned, looked up, and saw the waves undulating in the distance. Ye Chen tensed: "Could it be that the big carp has been startled and is rushing toward the shore?"

Ye Chen immediately cast his line, then watched the water intently. Sure enough, a large dark shadow soon moved rapidly toward the shore.

"Pull it now!" Ye Chen felt a surge of joy and pulled hard.

"Plonk!"

A huge sound came, thrilling Ye Chen, finally having caught this big fellow!

Today, the fishing competition was to decide the champion, and with this big carp, his chances of winning were greatly enhanced.

"Mr. Ye is really lucky! That big carp actually came right to him," an elderly man, also a participant in this fishing competition, praised with a chuckle.

"Hehe, it’s necessary. I’ve always been lucky," Ye Chen laughed. Of course, he wouldn’t tell anyone that he had inadvertently heard this carp blowing bubbles in the water last night.

So, he decided to lure this big fellow over early this morning, then find a way to catch it.

"I wonder how the other participants are doing?"

"They must be quite good as well. After all, each of these participants is a veteran fisherman," the elderly man nodded and smiled, watching the other two groups of participants.

Ye Chen also agreed with a few words, then picked up his fishing rod and quietly waited for the other three participants to arrive.

...

At that moment, in another concealed location, the other three participants also showcased their skills, catching either small or big fish.

"Ha ha, finally caught this Golden Turtle!" This was Li Wentao’s exuberance, beside him lay a giant fishing basket.

Li Wentao’s fishing basket was filled with bright red carp. With a proud expression on his face, he handed over the fishing basket to an assistant beside him and then sat back down to rest.

"This time I’m sure to win!" Li Wentao internally clenched his teeth.

It took him a long time to catch this Golden Turtle. And such a Golden Turtle was not easy to catch; it took him a full ten minutes to succeed.

In that time, other anglers could have finished catching all their fish.

"Congratulations, Mr. Li. The probability of your victory is very high, I believe you will surely win the runner-up in this competition!"

The assistant also showed a relieved smile; he had specially asked Li Wentao for help, and if Li Wentao lost the competition, he probably wouldn’t be able to keep his job.

Li Wentao arrogantly waved his hand, gesturing for the assistant to step back.

Then, he turned his gaze to Ye Chen, his expression turned cold, and he sinisterly smiled: "Mr. Ye, I want to see how long you can last! Hmph, a bunch of trash!"

Ye Chen did not notice Li Wentao’s gaze and continued to fish seriously.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a tremendous wave crashed ashore, startling Ye Chen, almost making him lose grip.

Fortunately, Ye Chen stabilized his hold and quickly pulled up his fishing rod, with a carp of about one meter long hooked on it.

"Not bad, finally caught it!" Ye Chen grinned, revealing his white teeth.

He removed the fish hook and then tossed it into the fishing basket, placed the fishing rod back in the basket as if he was about to end fishing.

"Eh? Is that kid giving up?" Seeing that Ye Chen was not fishing anymore, Li Wentao couldn’t help but mock.

"This..." The assistant hesitated, "Could this kid be playing mind games?"

Li Wentao shook his head and blandly said, "I think this kid definitely failed, otherwise why would he stop fishing?"

The assistant pondered carefully and felt there seemed to be some rationale in Li Wentao’s words, so he no longer paid attention to Ye Chen.

"Mr. Ye, why did you give up fishing?" A middle-aged fisherman nearby asked curiously.

"I feel it’s about enough," Ye Chen smiled and replied.

"Mr. Ye, you are an expert at fishing, and fishing requires patience and skill, how can you be impatient?" The middle-aged man sighed and shook his head.

"Hehe, brother, you misunderstood; I’m not giving up on fishing. I just think that I need to change the spot," Ye Chen smiled and pointed to a more secluded spot not far ahead.

Hearing this, the surrounding people threw curious glances.

That place was a lone rock, very close to the shore but looked desolate and old, with not even a branch in sight.

Ye Chen walked over, stood on that rock, then picked up the fishing spear, threaded the fishing line, and threw the fishing rod into the water.

After doing all these, Ye Chen stood on the rock, closed his eyes, and rested.

"Damn, has this kid gone mad?" The crowd immediately started discussing, unsure of what Ye Chen was up to.

"Who is that kid? Why is he fishing in such a remote and awkward place?" someone couldn’t help but comment.

Li Wentao was stunned as well. Ye Chen choosing such a secluded spot to fish was clearly just giving up!
