"You..."

Wen Bao found it really hard to refuse Xie Peng's strategic move.

Mrs. Xie had been a great benefactor to him.

Mrs. Xie came to Shanan to see her son, but more so to see the Leopard, sigh...

Wen Bao had no room to maneuver, so he had to agree.

Xie Peng felt very smug—indeed, it's better to be prepared for a battle!

This guy's pretty sharp. Once he entered officialdom and met a master like Zhang Hongyang, the bastard learned well and outdid his teacher.

Because Xie Peng always had drone operators surveilling Liu Zhizhong from the sky, it was quite easy to know Liu Zhizhong's whereabouts in Shanan.

And the low-altitude airspace here in Shanan was quite open and accommodating. However, any drone that wants to take off here needs to register, apply, and pay a management fee before it can fly freely.

Now, Shanan, due to its reputation, attracts self-media from all over the country, drone enthusiasts who come here to do live broadcasts and film drone videos and the like.

First, it creates revenue for the area, and second, it brings greater fame to the area.

Shanan County is also actively encouraging this positively, making everything perfect.

Even Liu Zhizhong noticed that now within Shanan County, there are quite a few fishermen from other places who come here to fish. The catches are generous and the word is spreading widely.

Liu Zhizhong had something to say to Zhang Hongyang about this.

So, Xie Peng planning to visit and host a dinner was just the opportunity.

On this day, Xie Peng and Zhang Hongyang brought high-end meals ordered from a hotel, drove their private car to specifically visit Liu Zhizhong's house to host the dinner.

Because Xie Peng knew, Liu Zhizhong would return to the rented yard tonight. Since he was there, Hamuer would be too.

Sure enough, when they arrived, Liu Zhizhong, Wen Bao, and Hamuer were fishing by the river, and they had set up night dining equipment, including tables, chairs, and utensils.

The fishing spot by the river was excellent indeed—sheltered from the wind, facing the sun, with the right depth and good catches.

Near dusk, this stretch of river already had quite a few fishermen, not locals, but from elsewhere, driving off-road vehicles, setting up tents, erecting tarps, and bringing stoves, indicating a setup for long-term fishing operations.

Their car parked by the roadside, taking in the riverbank view which was dotted with lights, appeared quite grand.

Moreover, the place was quite bustling with voices, very lively.

By comparison, the fishing spot for Liu Zhizhong and his friends was more unique, with cliffs above and below within a hundred meters, leaving them with a straight path to Liu Zhizhong's yard surrounded by a forest and a small grassy area, perfect for setting up camp, so they were largely undisturbed by other fishermen.

Of course, there were people camping and fishing on the opposite bank, but the water was shallow, not as abundant with fish as this side.

Seeing so many fishermen, Xie Peng couldn't help but feel a bit excited, itching to join in!

Since he was young, he had been good friends and fishing buddies with Wen Bao, catching quite a bit of fish to improve their lives together!

Now after starting work, serving the boss, he hadn't fished in a long time.

Xie Peng said, "Brother Yang, look, so many fishermen! In just a few days, the rivers big and small in Shanan have become so famous!"

He was going to say, once he had time, he'd come and cast a few lines too.

However, Zhang Hongyang said, "These fishing idiots, don't they have anything better to do?"
