Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 245 Something Really Happened!

As Brother Bo and a group of motorcyclists, including Xiao Ma, drove off on their motorcycles, Xiao Kai sat alone under the lighthouse for a while longer before riding away as well.

Back home, Xiao Kai called Xu Fukun to confirm the arrangements for tomorrow's sea voyage, and then went to bed early.

The next morning, just after five o'clock, Xiao Kai and Xu Fukun both appeared at the dock on time.

As before, after checking the supplies and retrieving ice and bait, the two immediately drove their fishing boat away from the dock.

As the sun rose higher, the entire Shanya Village pier returned to silence once again.

More than a week has passed in the blink of an eye, and it's already September 11th.

That day, Xiao Kai's fishing boat appeared in an area 180 nautical miles offshore.

At around 10 a.m., Xiao Kai stopped on time.

"This should be it!"

Xiao Kai checked the coordinates on the navigation and confirmed it.

"Fu Kun, go out and see if any other Clippers have arrived!"

Seeing that there was nothing to be found within the cabin's field of vision, Xiao Kai asked Fu Kun to go out and check.

Upon hearing this, Fu Kun immediately put down his iced drink, responded, and got up to leave.

Less than five minutes later, he came in again.

"Brother Xiao, no ships have been detected entering the area!"

"Hmm~"

Xiao Kai couldn't help but frown. "What's wrong with Chen Bai? Weren't we supposed to meet here at 11 o'clock? Why isn't he here yet!"

It turns out that today was the day Xiao Kai and Chen Bai had arranged to go fishing with his client.

Originally, Chen Bai wanted him to go to Lucheng to meet him, but Xiao Kai couldn't bear to leave his boat unattended and didn't want it to sit idle, so he asked to go himself.

Although Chen Bai was puzzled, he could only agree.

So they agreed to meet at this spot again today.

This was the first fishing spot Chen Baifa mentioned, where they had a chance to encounter tuna every afternoon, making it one of their destinations on this trip.

But when Xiao Kai arrived, he didn't see anyone.

He knew that Chen Bai wasn't the type to break promises easily, so he guessed that something had gotten in the way.

Since there wasn't a rush, Xiao Kai said to Xu Fukun, "Never mind, it's almost noon. If we were coming, we would have come earlier. Something must have held us up. Let's go fishing first!"

Although we agreed to meet at this location, it wasn't stipulated that we had to wait for them to arrive before casting our batons.

Xiao Kai wasn't a stubborn person. Seeing that Chen Bai and the others hadn't arrived, he started making arrangements to go fishing.

As for making a satellite phone call, there's no need for that, since being pressured by others can be quite unpleasant.

Soon, Xiao Kai started fishing, and with the help of the "golden finger" (a cheat code), he soon found himself catching fish one after another.

After more than a week of cooperation, Xu Fukun had gotten used to this phenomenon and didn't show the same surprise as before. He was just more and more curious about Xiao Kai's luck.

In this way, with one person responsible for fishing and the other for hauling in the catch, the efficiency was more than twice as fast as when Xiao Kai was fishing alone.

Before they knew it, they had all forgotten that someone else hadn't arrived, and gradually became immersed in the joy of the connection.

Half an hour later, Xiao Kai suddenly felt thirsty, so he stopped and prepared to go to the cabin to get a drink of water!

Just then, he remembered something, took out his phone and glanced at it.

"Damn, it's almost 11 o'clock, why isn't this guy here yet?"

Looking at the time on his phone, Xiao Kai frowned slightly.

"Has something really happened?"

The more Xiao Kai thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He quickly returned to his cabin, took out his satellite phone, and called Chen Bai.

The phone kept ringing but no one answered.

Xiao Kai tried several more times, but it was still the same.

Xiao Kai felt something was wrong and quickly told Xu Fukun to put away the fishing rod.

He planned to follow the route Chen Bai had sent him earlier to search for the body. After all, it concerned the safety of several people. If something went wrong, arriving sooner would give them a better chance of success.

Rumble~

With a loud roar of the engine, Xiao Kai steered the Summer Triumph fishing boat, leaving a large ripple on the sea surface, before turning the boat around and speeding off in the direction Chen Bai was traveling.

This time, Xiao Kai didn't hold back and immediately shifted into the highest gear.

Section 35

Section 40

Section 43

In an instant, Xiao Kai's fishing boat burst forth with a speed far exceeding the factory settings and began to speed across the sea.

In less than five minutes, we reached the 43rd quarter.

This speed is difficult for even ordinary warships to achieve, and only small boats such as speedboats and motorboats can catch up. Even fishing boats of the same class rarely have this speed.

Xiao Kai's ship was only equipped with two 300-horsepower engines when it left the factory.

This speed is achieved entirely thanks to the powerful modification capabilities of the cheat system.

Normally, if Xiao Kai were driving like this alone, he would be unable to resist shouting excitedly.

But he wasn't in the mood for it at all.

Xu Fukun, on the other hand, was extremely nervous. If he hadn't known the matter was of great importance, he probably would have called a halt.

However, judging from the cold sweat constantly seeping from his forehead, it was clear that he was still quite frightened.

This speed was completely different from the rocking and swaying on a fishing boat. It was the first time he had ever experienced it, so it was normal for him to have this reaction.

They ran like that for half an hour.

As Xiao Kai stared intently at the sea, scanning the area, he suddenly noticed a faint black smoke trail ahead. Upon closer inspection, he saw what appeared to be two ships closely packed together on the distant sea.

One of the boats appeared to be glowing with fire, as if it were on fire.

"Damn, something really happened!"

Without time to think too much, Xiao Kai quickly steered the boat in that direction.

As they drew closer, Xiao Kai finally got a clear look at the two boats.

Judging from the shape of the hull and the familiar decals, Xiao Kai had already confirmed its identity; it was indeed Chen Bai's yacht.

Xiao Kai didn't recognize the other fishing boat, which was glowing with a few sparks.

Regardless, seeing that it wasn't Chen Bai's fishing boat that was burned, Xiao Kai felt relatively relieved; at least for now, it seemed safe.

At the same time, the people on the two ships also spotted them and started shouting.

"Xiao Kai, you've finally arrived!"

Before Xiao Kai could even get close, Chen Bai's signature loud voice reached Xiao Kai's ears.

"Hehe, you can still shout, then it's alright!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Xiao Kai was completely relieved.

A short while later, Xiao Kai's boat finally docked.

Before Xiao Kai could get close enough, Chen Bai, who had been waiting impatiently, jumped over to his fishing boat.

Then, to Xiao Kai's bewildered surprise, he bypassed him and rushed straight into the cabin.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets could be heard.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking for?"
