Chapter 1916: Chapter 905: Before Returning

Not far away, the sea is as blue as the sky, and underfoot, the sand is soft; every now and then you could see small creatures scrambling back into the sea after being washed up by the waves.

The scent of the sea breeze is ever constant, warmly blowing over people, making everyone feel a bit lazy.

Wen Le and The Fifth Young Master Guo each with a fishing rod, were sitting on a rock, steady as old dogs, while Xiaohe and Zhang Jian were like restless rabbits. Xiaoning was taking pictures on the beach with a camera, and Old Cui, who she dragged along as a bodyguard, wore a bitter expression.

Yan Fei was still hugging his foreign language book and reading.

…

After Yan Fei pulled off a job, as the yacht sailed for half the day, everyone started debating again.

Xiaohe still thought the boat should go a bit further, but Wen Le, feeling unlike the big brother he was supposed to be — he didn’t assess the risks clearly in a matter that was inherently risky, letting the boat keep going nearly caused a big problem.

This time, The Fifth Young Master Guo stood on Wen Le’s side.

With Xiaoning not giving an opinion, Wen Le had two votes, Xiaohe had three. Clearly, Xiaohe’s three votes weren’t as valuable as Wen Le’s two votes. So he turned to Yan Fei for help.

Then Yan Fei confidently told him, “A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall!”

Xiaoning, who was drinking coffee and watching the show, sprayed coffee all over Zhang Jian — you, the guy who dared to set fire to a ship armed with hot weapons with just a spear, actually said something like that?

Not only Xiaoning was surprised, but others were speechless too. If someone else said something like that, you could argue they were just making excuses to avoid danger. But Boss Yan, he’s the guy who brawled with foreigners on the Capital’s streets and set fires at sea, where did he come off looking scared of trouble or danger?

Indeed, it wasn’t until half the day had passed after the boat had left that people on the yacht realized a problem: the burning ship had caught fire so fast, surely everyone onboard would have been done for?

Although no one said it outright, Boss Yan became known as the ‘arsonist’ — which was a positive term on the yacht, they wished they could do it, but unfortunately, they didn’t have the skills.

Some people, it’s only when you encounter a situation can you see what kind of person they really are.

When Boss Yan got on the boat, the first thing he did was secure the little red flags when others were fishing. The rest of the time, he went with the flow, either reading and studying — if it wasn’t for The Fifth Young Master Guo wanting to play in the sea, revealing his swimming skills, the crowd would have almost taken him as a bookworm!

No one expected his move at the critical moment, which surprised and delighted everyone — surprised as if struck by lightning on a clear day, delighted like rainfall following a long drought.

So when Xiaohe asked for his opinion, everyone paid extra attention, all ears!

No one expected him to say something like that, it’s like a butcher saying he’s against slaughter, or a brothel girl claiming to keep chaste?

Yan Fei really thought so, he honestly didn’t want trouble. In his view, as long as the yacht was in this sea area, it was fine. Whether it was a thousand miles or fifteen hundred miles, did it matter to him? After all, it was a matter of minutes.

But seeing as he couldn’t bluff his way out now, Yan Fei had to say, “I suggest, we adjust the order of our fleet, put the fishing boat behind, and the yacht in front. Then just stay around this area, don’t go too far ahead, the yacht has communication tools, we only need to use them to keep informed. Also, I suggest everyone find a place to take a break.”

His suggestion was quickly implemented after some discussion.

In truth, everyone knew inside, even a normal yacht’s speed was almost twice that of most fishing boats, let alone theirs. Anyone with some youth and inexperience would know, you need a fast yacht for traveling.

When riding a yacht and encountering fishing boats or ordinary ships, you could leave anytime without being chased. If someone wanted to cause some damage, they could bully others with speed.

Moreover, the yacht had an advantage, making it quite conspicuous. If an enemy fishing boat encountered them, from a distance, they should be more worried instead — after all, no one playing with yachts can be sure what those onboard are up to. If there’s a smuggling warlord who doesn’t like them, will turn around carrying a rocket launcher, not just fishing boats, most ships would kneel.

Once discussed, with the fishing boat decided as the supply line in the back, the students could leave the yacht and were naturally sent back. Hence the yacht returned to its original crew.

Because of the fishing boat fire incident, everyone was more excited, maybe even a bit terrified — since there were living people on that boat after all.

After the excitement lasted for a while and emotions settled, inevitably, everyone only then realized how tired they were. Just as the boat reached near Zhongsha, Yan Fei’s last suggestion was accepted by all, to find a place to take a break.

…

Wen Le glanced at the empty fishhook again and sighed, with those guys around, he couldn’t hope to catch any fish. These bastards not only didn’t catch fish themselves but kept making trouble, there was no semblance of fishing at all.

The Fifth Young Master Guo was quite calm, carrying half a bottle of red wine; rather than fishing, it seemed more like he came for a drink. In his words, only after drowning himself in alcohol would he sleep soundly.
