Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Catching a Fish in Seconds

After saying all that, Liao Xuexue noticed that her grandfather’s complexion had changed.

First, it turned bright red, then it turned a bit green, and by the end, his face was downright pale.

Seeing this, Liao Xuexue asked with concern, "Grandpa, you... what’s happened to you, are you alright?"

Old Liao weakly waved his hand: "I’m fine, you go back, I’m just feeling a little dizzy."

"Also, remember what grandpa told you, don’t get too close to that kid Ye Chen, he... he’s not a good person!"

"Are you really okay?" Liao Xuexue was still worried about her grandfather.

"I’m fine, just remember what I said, and also, no matter what, don’t gamble with that bastard Ye Chen anymore..."

Though confused in her heart, when she saw her grandfather’s complexion return to normal after a few deep breaths, Liao Xuexue’s anxieties were alleviated.

Watching his granddaughter leave, Old Liao kept repeating three words to himself.

"Oh my God!"

"Oh my God!"

"It really hurts!"

He himself got swindled out of fourteen thousand by that brat Ye Chen, that was his own money!

Spending on his granddaughter, Old Liao would never feel heartache, but he never expected

that the money would be swindled by Ye Chen in a blink...

This was the private savings he had painstakingly accumulated, and furthermore, it was money he had borrowed from his brothers...

That brat Ye Chen, he’s truly inhuman!

But...

Yet, Old Liao couldn’t bring himself to tell his granddaughter about this.

Could he really say, "Granddaughter, actually you coming here to assist Ye Chen isn’t a job, it’s because grandpa gambled and lost you to him..."

Definitely not; with no other options, Old Liao could only grit his teeth and swallow it down.

At this moment, he could only pray that Ye Chen, having already taken such a big advantage, wouldn’t target his granddaughter.

...

The following period remained uneventful.

You could say that, only with Ye Chen, did nothing happen, two hours passed by.

After hooking the handgun, Ye Chen’s float became as still as if it was nailed to the water’s surface, motionless.

Although Liao Xuexue lost her salary in a bet, she wasn’t the least bit upset.

She continued baiting the water as usual.

Over five hundred pounds of bait was almost all tossed in by her.

Yet, Teacher Ye on the other hand, still hadn’t managed to hook anything.

The group of fishers nearby were still catching small fish steadily, occasionally hooking a big one, followed by gasps of astonishment around them.

And inside Ye Chen’s keepnet, there was only that Water Snake and the handgun.

Liao Xuexue, who had started to grow bored, couldn’t help but sneak glances at this Teacher Ye.

She began to harbor doubts about this "fishing expert."

But even after more than two hours without a single catch, Teacher Ye still maintained his posture, eyes fixed on the water like an eagle, his aura dignified, evoking admiration.

The aura he exuded indeed resembled that of a fishing master.

The aura was there, and his equipment was more luxurious than the others’, plus nearly five hundred pounds of bait had been used—why hadn’t he hooked a fish yet?

Although Liao Xuexue was curious, she didn’t ask.

She hadn’t forgotten, when she just asked Teacher Ye how many fish he had caught the day before.

Teacher Ye had said, "Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t inquire into."

At that time, Teacher Ye’s expression was quite fierce...

Just now she was somewhat perplexed, but now it seems she’s caught on.

Could it be...

Is Teacher Ye the legendary "Air Force Commander?"

Was his fierce expression earlier because she had made him lose face?

The more she couldn’t figure it out, the more curious Liao Xuexue became.

In the end, she couldn’t hold back, although she spoke quite tactfully.

"Teacher Ye, how... how did you know you were going to reel in that handgun?"

Ye Chen curled his lips: "Didn’t I tell you? My fishing rod has been blessed; I use Mystical Fishing."

Liao Xuexue continued to probe: "Then, Teacher Ye, can’t you use mysticism to predict... when you’ll catch a fish?"

Ye Chen coughed and said seriously: "Haven’t you noticed the cold front these last few days, causing the temperature to drop? Plus, it’s already autumn, so it’s normal that the fish are not biting well."

But how could Liao Xuexue be so easily dismissed?

"Just now I took a look at my grandfather’s catch, he’s close to having twenty fish, big and small combined, and the same goes for the several other people around..."

Unexpectedly, this remark struck a sore spot for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen frowned and handed the fishing rod directly to Liao Xuexue.

"You chatty girl, why must you have so many questions?"

"Fishing is a skillful task; I’m aiming to catch a giant, can those people compare to me?"

"Fishing is not as easy as you think, if you’re so capable, why don’t you catch one and show me?"

Liao Xuexue was somewhat astonished by Ye Chen’s words, but she still took hold of the fishing rod in her hands.

"See, you can’t do it, right?" Ye Chen gave Liao Xuexue a look and then prepared to take back his fishing rod.

Liao Xuexue was speechless at heart and couldn’t help but mutter that Ye Chen was really petty.

Even if she was given a chance to try, that was too short a time; in such a brief period, it would be odd if she did catch any fish!

But suddenly.

The float on the distant water surface disappeared!

Having seen her grandfather fish before, Liao Xuexue knew that in industry parlance, this was called "Water Snake."

It’s very likely that she got a bite!

Originally about to give the fishing rod back to Ye Chen, she swiftly pulled up the rod.

Then, accompanied by the sound of line being drawn, the rod bent into an arch in the air.

Feeling the force on the rod, Liao Xuexue excitedly shouted: "Teacher Ye, I caught a fish, I got one!"

Ye Chen saw this and was completely dumbfounded.

How on earth could this be possible?

Liao Xuexue exerted more force.

Although the fishing rod in her hand was only 5.2 meters, it was still one that Ye Chen had spent over ten thousand yuan to buy.

Compared to the top anglers who readily use rods costing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, it’s somewhat inferior.

But whether it’s the weight of the rod, the feel, or the flexibility, it far surpasses the rods of ordinary anglers.

So, almost effortlessly, Liao Xuexue hoisted a palm-sized fish up.

Ye Chen’s jaw was nearly on the floor.

The fish that was writhing and trying to free itself from the hook, is it actually a crucian carp?

And it’s a live crucian carp!

"Wow! This is my first time catching a fish!"

Liao Xuexue was particularly excited; watching others fish and catching one herself were entirely different experiences.

Even now, she could understand why her grandfather loved fishing so much.

From the change in the float to the biting of the fish and finally reeling it in, the whole process was so stress-relieving.
