Chapter 139: Chapter 125: The Rare Military Fish_3

After a while, Lin Yang didn’t expect that the other party would really reply to his message.

"I showed the picture of the pearl to my grandfather, and he can roughly confirm if you are willing, you can come to Suzhou and let my grandfather take a look at the pearl. If it’s genuine, we are willing to purchase your pearl for a six-figure sum...."

A six-figure sum, meaning more than a hundred thousand.

A stone just like this pearl is actually worth so much?

Lin Yang’s face was filled with disbelief; he hadn’t expected that going to the wild lake to fish for a behemoth would accidentally lead to him obtaining a pearl that could possibly be worth over six figures.

Although it’s still not one hundred percent certain that it’s a genuine article, it’s quite clear that the other party’s grandfather is an expert in this field, or someone who is knowledgeable.

Moreover, Lin Yang also wanted to find out the true identity of this pearl and see if it really was a treasure.

Thinking this, he added the other party on WeChat.

Soon after, the other party sent Lin Yang an address in Suzhou; if he wanted to go, he could directly find her grandfather at this place.

Just as he was exiting WeChat, contemplating whether to book a plane ticket to Suzhou right now, his phone rang—it was Wang Jian Country calling.

Lin Yang answered the phone.

"Hello, Brother Jian Guo."

"Lin Yang, my brother, are you free tomorrow? There’s an urgent situation in the worldly society, I need your help...." As soon as the call was picked up, Wang Jian Country’s somewhat anxious voice came through.

"What’s the matter, I should be free tomorrow, tell me!"

Upon hearing Lin Yang say he was free tomorrow, Wang Jian Country started explaining the help he needed.

After listening, Lin Yang also sighed in relief, as he thought it was some major issue.

The matter he spoke of was quite simple and also had a certain connection with him.

A few days ago, wasn’t Lin Yang competing in fishing for Catfish at the Qingshan Reservoir, introduced by Wang Feng, and even won over the owner the next day, selling all the Catfish worth more than 7,000 yuan to Wang Jian Country?

So, the reservoir owner held a grudge against Wang Jian Country, hired some thugs, and dumped a load of Alligator Gar into Wang Jian Country’s fishponds.

Wang Jian Country had not only been setting up black pits during this time but had also established a Catfish fishing ground and several acres of fish breeding ponds.

As previously mentioned, Jiangdong City initially had fewer black pits and fishing grounds, but due to the rapid expansion of the Dongyang Fishing Ground, many people joined in on the trend, and the demand for various fish species grew rapidly.

Wang Jian Country had seized this opportunity and set up several acres of ponds, breeding several species of small fish.

The pond that the thugs released Alligator Gar into was one of the ponds breeding Dinggui fish fry.

Seeing his pond invaded by Alligator Gar, Wang Jian Country was naturally furious and reported the incident to the police immediately.

After the report, police came and looked around, then left without arresting anyone.

When Lin Yang heard Wang Jian Country say this, he was quite surprised. What was going on?

Could it be that the influence of these local thugs was so enormous that even the police didn’t dare arrest them?

"No, it’s because those guys found a loophole."

When hearing Lin Yang’s confusion, Wang Jian Country said angrily.

Poisoning fishponds would get the police to arrest people because, even if no one was poisoned, it’s not considered a criminal case, it would still warrant administrative punishment, and they’d at least be detained for a few days.

If Wang Jian Country was ruthless enough to have someone drink the water and then go for a stomach wash or something, they might even be sentenced to a few years.

But the problem was, this time the opponent hadn’t used poison but had released fish, and those people staunchly insisted that they were releasing them into the wild, essentially gifting them to Wang Jian Country, thus it couldn’t be considered a criminal case.

Of course, Wang Jian Country could still contact the fisheries administration. Random release of animals is not arrestable, but it is still punishable by fines.

However, those thugs found another loophole.

Because according to the law, random release refers to natural water bodies, and Wang Jian Country’s ponds are clearly not natural water bodies. They are fishponds, so after the police arrived, they could only mediate, without any authority to arrest or fine anyone.

To press charges, there needed to be a confirmed loss, but the problem was, Wang Jian Country’s fish fry had only been introduced into the pond a few days ago, and they were dying, with no way to determine exactly how many were eaten by the introduced Alligator Gar.

Therefore, the police couldn’t arrest anyone after arriving.

Now, Wang Jian Country wanted to confront them, but he had no way of fighting, because the other party didn’t physically fight back. If you touched them, they would just lie down, it was all about extorting money.

No matter the talk of community relations or fishpond investments, they didn’t care; they just wanted money.

So now Wang Jian Country really had no options left; he had only two choices.

The first was to drain the pond, but as soon as the pond was drained, none of the fry would survive, costing him at least several hundred thousand in losses.

For him, although not fatal, it would definitely be a crippling blow.

The second solution was to find a way to fish out these Alligator Gar before they could cause significant damage.

Among those Wang Jian Country knew, maybe only Lin Yang was capable of fishing for these fish.

Lin Yang had fished several times at their Dongyang Fishing Ground and had always been the top in burst-guard fishing. Just the other day, he had defeated a well-known professional angler, so Lin Yang’s fishing skills were up to par.

Wang Jian Country had wanted to call Lin Yang yesterday, but seeing that he was still at Mingyue Mountain and hadn’t returned, he didn’t want to disturb him.

He guessed that Lin Yang might have returned today, so he just made the call.

"Fishing isn’t a problem; although I haven’t fished for Alligator Gar before, I should be able to handle it, but the problem is that even if we catch them, the other party could release them a second or third time. I can’t be there every day to fish, can I?"

Lin Yang and Wang Jian Country were old friends, and Wang Jian Country was a good person who had helped him out a few times, so he was definitely going to help.
