My fishing raft will ask for help.

The expensive fish are all sold out, but we still need to find a place to sell the remaining mackerel, as well as some rockfish and red sea bream.

Just then, Luo Qianqian told him about the seafood market in the city center, and Zhou Miao was planning to go check out their family's fish farm, asking her if she wanted to come along.

He carried the remaining fish back to the boat, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Xiaoxiao standing there blankly.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you standing there for?"

"Huh?" Lu Xiaoxiao came to her senses and saw that Zhou Miao was already on the boat, so she hurriedly ran over.

"What are you thinking about? Are you worried about your brother again?" Zhou Miao asked with concern when he saw that she seemed absent-minded.

"No...not entirely."

Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She had been thinking about whether or not to tell Zhou Miao about the bank card.

She hadn't originally planned to tell him, intending to secretly try to withdraw the money herself. If she could, great; if not, she'd just pretend it never happened.

This way, you won't be given a glimmer of hope only to find that you can't withdraw the money in the end, leaving you with nothing but disappointment.

But the fish raft renovation policy mentioned by Yu Muzhou made her a little uneasy, fearing that because of her brother, all of his previous investments would go down the drain.

Lu Xiaoxiao herself did not realize that in just one night and one morning of contact, she had developed a certain dependence on Zhou Miao.

His care and concern, as well as his demonstrated earning power, gave her a sense of security.

After losing her brother, who she relied on, she instinctively went to Zhou Miao, wanting to get some of the same feeling from him as she did from her brother.

Therefore, she did not want Zhou Miao to fail in his business and leave Nanzhen. On the contrary, she hoped that his business would continue to improve and that he could stay here.

She herself wasn't sure she could find the correct bank card password, but many people might have a different approach.

So Lu Xiaoxiao no longer hesitated: "Brother Miao, actually I found my brother's bank card yesterday. I originally wanted to try to withdraw the money myself and return the money that belonged to you."

"But if we don't have the money to renovate the fish rafts now, then we'll have to face demolition, so I think I should tell you about this. There's always more solution than one person working together."

"A bank card?" Zhou Miao's eyes lit up.

Previously, I was only thinking about not touching Lu Xingyu's privacy, but I forgot that the bank card might have been left in the room.

However, he didn't know the password either, and Lu Xingyu didn't tell him.

"If I don't know the password, there's really nothing I can do. You know how difficult it is to withdraw money from a bank these days; it's hard enough for the person in question, let alone someone else. You can only try your luck at an ATM."

"That's what I thought too, which is why I didn't tell you before."

"It's okay. Even if we can't withdraw the money, I can handle the fish raft issue."

It's only September now, and there are still three months until New Year's Day.

The renovation doesn't actually take much time. Laying flooring usually only takes three to five days, and the rest can be done slowly.

When I have time, I'll ask the person Yu Muzhou recommended how much it would cost to lay PE flooring on a 1,000-square-meter fish raft, and then make a plan.

"Yes, I believe you." Lu Xiaoxiao nodded emphatically.

She had already witnessed Zhou Miao's earning power today; he had sold nearly five thousand yuan worth of fish in just one morning.

There's still time left, so I'll try my best to fish; maybe I can be of some help then.

"Let's go see Luo Qianqian. If she's planning to sell fish downtown, we can go together."

Zhou Miao steered his small boat to Luo Hao's fishing raft.

He took a closer look and discovered that the fish rafts here were made of wooden planks.

Since he doesn't know much about the materials used to build fish rafts, he can ask Luo Hao.

......

On the other side, Yu Muzhou drove his boat to the dock where only recreational yachts and fishing boats were moored, then took his fish and drove home in a black Great Wall Cannon.

He bought the car with Pang Hao, which shows that they have a very good relationship.

Back home, Yu Muzhou used a lifting forklift to move the fish tanks down and then push them into the room where the fish were kept.

Stepping into the room is like entering a miniature underwater world.

All four walls are connected aquariums, housing all kinds of coral fish.

In the center of the room, there is a large fish tank of about 15 square meters, which contains various groupers, sea bream and so on.

Zhou Miao was certainly familiar with two of them: the sea red spot and the black hair.

Yu Muzhou enjoys collecting fish, but he doesn't go to the seafood market specifically to buy them.

He buys them all from fellow anglers, so not all of them are big, and the variety is not very large.

He took a net and transferred the wrasse from the fish box to a separate fish tank next to the large tank.

I added some water from the marine aquarium, then poured water into the fish tank, and turned on the oxygen to let the wrasse acclimatize.

Meanwhile, he didn't touch the four or five-pound blue-clothed animal in the large vat for the time being.

Only if the large blue wrasse survives will he take the one out of the sea tank, cook it, and share the delicious meal with his family or friends.

Admiring the blue dress that was actually ugly-cute but very beautiful in his eyes, Yu Muzhou suddenly thought of the missing friend Zhou Miao had mentioned.

He knew that these kinds of incidents would usually just fizzle out.

He happened to have a good friend in the bureau, so on a whim, he called that friend.

After chatting for a while, he told his friend what he had roughly learned.

Ask a friend to arrange for someone to investigate this missing person case and see if they can find any clues.

However, as soon as the call ended, Yu Muzhou's friend at the bureau looked rather serious.

Coincidentally, he had recently been tracking a frozen goods smuggling case.

A few days ago, we tracked down the smuggling ship's movements, but just as we were about to take action, the smuggling ship suddenly disappeared.

He initially thought the other party was being cautious and had noticed something.

But today, when he heard Yu Muzhou say that a friend of a friend had gone missing, and the timing was so coincidental, it was hard not to suspect that there might be some connection between them.

Was it an informant who sensed something and went to notify them, or was it just a coincidence?

Since the case has stalled, he can explore this avenue.

He took the documents and went out. Not long after, two police officers from the Nanzhen local police station set off for the fish rafts to retrieve surveillance footage from all the fish rafts that were already in operation.

The level of execution has improved significantly compared to before.

After all, what was previously just an undetermined disappearance has now been linked to a smuggling case.

At this moment, Zhou Miao had already driven Luo Hao's van, carrying Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao, towards the city center.

Normally, selling fish is best done after 3 p.m., but Luo Qianqian and her brother caught two large red snapper weighing over five pounds each this morning, as well as several sizable sea bream, so they plan to sell the fish at their usual restaurant.

Luo Hao was originally worried about not being able to leave, but then a few tourist orders came in at the fish raft, and he had to serve the customers.

There were plenty of fish today, but my sister can't drive, and the electric scooter is hard to carry.

Fortunately, Zhou Miao arrived at that moment, which allowed him to drive his delivery van into the city.

"Qianqian, didn't you learn to drive in college?" Lu Xiaoxiao had been holding it in the whole way, but finally couldn't help asking.

These days, most young people, even if they don't own a car, have already learned to drive at a young age!

Luo Qianqian nodded: "I didn't go. I didn't want to learn. Learning to drive is troublesome. I'll be asked to run errands for everything, and I'll have to pick up and drop off people all the time."

"The main problem is that parking spaces are too hard to find. I have an impatient personality, and I get really angry if I can't find a parking space."

"Ride-hailing apps are so convenient now. My annual taxi expenses are definitely less than my fuel costs from driving."

"Even now that we have electric cars, the miscellaneous costs such as car washing and maintenance still add up to more than what I would spend on a taxi."
