I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 66 The Exposed Lie

Chapter 66: Chapter 66 The Exposed Lie

Jiang City’s higher-ups would certainly not believe that a giant python that professional fishing teams failed to capture could be caught by a fisherman like Ye Chen.

Zhou Tao was startled upon hearing this.

He looked at Ye Chen with a face full of surprise; clearly, Ye Chen’s words had awoken him.

Leaving aside whether Ye Chen could actually catch the giant python.

Even just convincing the higher-ups to let Ye Chen try fishing for the giant python would probably be very difficult.

Because...

Letting a fisherman in his early twenties try to catch the giant python.

If the higher-ups got wind of this idea, they would probably think that one had gone mad.

And if Ye Chen went to try and ended up not catching the giant python.

The online fishing community would probably get increasingly agitated, and people might even mock the police officers, asking why they would use such an absurd method.

Thinking this, Zhou Tao couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

To speak of it, the only person who thought of this method and planned to implement it was him alone.

He hadn’t considered the matter thoroughly enough.

His colleague in the car had already reminded him earlier.

Perhaps it was because he had been busy with the matter for over ten hours, and his mind was a bit unclear.

Zhou Tao rubbed his temples vigorously and let out a sigh of relief after regaining some clarity.

"I can’t believe that I, at my age, can be so inconsiderate."

"Kid..."

After speaking, Zhou Tao patted Ye Chen on the shoulder and said, "I was thinking too simply."

"Alright, I’ll go and see what the situation is like over there, as you suggested."

"If there really is no other way, I still hope you will give it a try, and I will persuade the higher-ups by then."

Ye Chen waved his hand: "Don’t worry, didn’t you say it yourself?"

"These are professional fishing personnel, they couldn’t handle a python?"

"You’re right," Zhou Tao nodded and continued, "We’ll do as you suggest, but if you do catch this giant python, I need to contact the Animal Protection Association to see how they’ll handle it."

"You’ll also need to wait here for a while, and I have your contact information too, I’ll call you if there’s anything else."

"Don’t forget to go to the police station tomorrow morning to receive your reward and pennant for turning in your handgun and hand grenade."

Ye Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, don’t worry, I still remember that!"

"Alright, then I’ll go contact the Animal Protection Association now." Having said that, Zhou Tao stepped aside and made a phone call.

After chatting with Ye Chen and the group of old men around him for a few more sentences, Zhou Tao left in the police car.

About fifteen minutes later, members of the Animal Protection Association arrived at the Seyves Reservoir.

After a brief investigation, they removed the fishing hook from the python’s mouth.

Then they used a box truck to take the python that Ye Chen had caught.

Saying they would release the python into a suitable environment or send it to a zoo.

The members of the Animal Protection Association who came here were shocked to learn that the python was caught by Ye Chen using a fishing rod.

They all stared at Ye Chen with surprised eyes.

It made Ye Chen, who was usually straightforward and reckless, feel somewhat embarrassed.

Furthermore, as Zhou Tao had said.

After the python was taken away, Ye Chen only received a few words of thanks and, aside from that, no other reward.

And it was Ye Chen’s fishing buddies and Liao Xuexue who had accompanied him throughout the whole process.

Now, as they watched the python being taken away, everyone gathered around.

Before the group of old men had a chance to ask anything.

Liao Xuexue, who had been staring at her phone with a frosty expression, suddenly looked at Ye Chen and Old Man Liao.

"Grandpa, didn’t you make a bet with Teacher Ye yesterday?"

Old Man Liao’s mouth twitched fiercely as he instinctively exclaimed.

"Holy mother! Have we been found out!?"

Liao Xuexue, having lived for over twenty years, never expected that one day she would become the talk of the gossipers herself!

Just now, as Teacher Ye was helping the Animal Protection Association people to transfer the python into a vehicle.

Bored Liao Xuexue started browsing on her phone.

And she happened to come across the trending topic about Teacher Ye.

It makes sense, with so many viewers in the live stream room, plus the fact that he actually managed to fish up a handgun, a Hand Grenade, and this giant python.

It was no surprise he was trending.

Under such circumstances, seeing comments discussing oneself in some videos was quite normal.

After all, the others fishing with Teacher Ye were all old grandpas of her grandfather’s age.

Her being the only girl there naturally attracted widespread attention.

But none of that mattered...

At first, Liao Xuexue felt a little shy reading the comments.

For example...

"This little beauty is really beautiful!"

"This young girl is so pretty, isn’t she afraid of getting tanned from fishing?"

"Teacher Ye is so lucky to have such a beautiful miss as an assistant."

"What assistant? I think she’s Teacher Ye’s girlfriend, right? They were both rolling on the ground hugging each other!"

"Teacher Ye just saved the little beauty once, and the little beauty saved Teacher Ye twice? Shouldn’t he marry her?"

"Wuwuwu, it’s so sweet! Seriously so sweet!"

...

Seeing these, Liao Xuexue just felt that the netizens had wild imaginations.

It was just fishing, and they were fantasizing about boyfriends and girlfriends.

However, the tone of the following comments quickly changed.

"I’m telling you, you guys are definitely Teacher Ye’s new fans, calling her ’little sister’, ’little beauty’, but she’s Old Man Liao’s granddaughter!"

"That’s right, talking about boyfriends and girlfriends, this girl is the granddaughter of Angry Iron Hand, Old Man Liao! Old Man Liao made a bet with Teacher Ye and lost his granddaughter to Teacher Ye, so he called this miss to assist Teacher Ye!"

"I’m dying of laughter, this miss got tricked by her grandpa once, and then by Teacher Ye again!"

"If you want to know the details, just go watch the replay of Teacher Ye’s fishing live stream from last night, especially the part where he bets with Old Man Liao!"

...

What’s going on?

Her grandpa made a bet with Teacher Ye and lost her to Teacher Ye???

And, how did she get tricked by her grandpa and then by Teacher Ye again?

Liao Xuexue was completely flabbergasted and quickly followed the netizens’ advice to find the replay of Ye Chen’s fishing live stream from yesterday.

She focused on the part where Teacher Ye made a bet with her grandpa.

After watching it.

Liao Xuexue was like waking from a dream.

So... she had been deceived by her grandpa!

The whole story about Teacher Ye paying her to be an assistant...

It was actually because her grandpa lost a bet to Teacher Ye, and according to last night’s agreement, she had to assist Teacher Ye for a week!

She guessed her grandpa was too embarrassed to tell her, so he deceived her, saying Teacher Ye hired her for a thousand dollars a day.
