I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 237: The Unsavory Fishpond Owner

Chapter 237: Chapter 237: The Unsavory Fishpond Owner

Old Liao would surely end up in a situation where "the chicken has flown and the eggs have smashed."

Thinking of this, Ye Chen curled his lips and said, "So how are you going to repay your lifesaver? Treat me to dinner tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Old Liao’s whole body froze.

Then with an expression of senile dementia, "Teacher Ye, what did you say? I have a bad signal? Teacher Ye..."

Ye Chen: "???"

Following that, after Old Liao charged up the slope on his little electric scooter, the old guys from the Jiang City River Squad also managed to rush up the large slope with a shock but no mishap.

It must be said, this slope would be a bit easier to manage if you were driving.

But on an electric scooter, tackling this slope can still be somewhat dangerous.

However, what’s this little danger in the eyes of a fisherman?

Let alone a 45-degree slope, if they really wanted to fish, even a 90-degree incline wouldn’t stop these old guys from finding a way to charge up.

"I say Old Liao, this fish pond you mentioned, is it any good? Why is it located in such a remote and desolate place?"

"Yeah, I see that the fish pond isn’t very big, and though there are quite a few cars parked, where are the people?"

"That’s right, and the gate is still locked. Are they not open for business?"

"Old Liao, didn’t you reach out to the fish pond in advance yesterday?"

Faced with the numerous questions from the old guys, Old Liao’s eyes twitched fiercely.

Indeed...

Logically speaking, coming to a fish pond so far from Jiang City, he should have contacted them in advance.

But the crux of the matter is, he only learned about Golden Peak Mountain Pond through someone else.

So, he didn’t have the fish pond’s contact information at all.

One could say his approach was basically like opening a mystery box...

Old Liao scratched his head and said with a sheepish smile, "Well..."

"You didn’t contact them and just had us come over, did you?" Old Zhang, wearing a white hat, looked disdainfully at Old Liao.

As Old Zhang finished speaking, the group standing in front of Golden Peak Mountain Pond all cast their disdainful gazes upon Old Liao.

Suddenly being watched with disdain by more than twenty people, even Old Liao with his thick skin felt embarrassed.

He then cleared his throat and said very seriously to everyone.

"What kind of look is that? I’m telling you, I brought you all here out of kindness."

"This place was referred to me by an old classmate, not many people know about it!"

"Not only does it have big crucian carp, but there are also grass carp, silver carp, and I heard there are catfish and sturgeons, the big ones too!"

Still met with disdainful looks from everyone, the guilty Old Liao waved his hands: "Alright, alright, next time I’ll give the owner a call in advance before picking the fish pond. It’s just that I didn’t have the owner’s contact this time, did I?"

At this point, Old Zhang with the white hat curled his lips and said, "You know less about this fish pond than I do. If you had mentioned it earlier, I would have contacted the pond’s owner on Kuaishou."

At this, Old Zhang took a glance at the fish pond’s gate, then scratched his head and said, "This Golden Peak Mountain Pond has an account on Kuaishou. The owner seems to be called Wang Long or something, damn, he looks fierce and intimidating, covered in tattoos, and doesn’t seem to be a pushover..."

Wang Long?

Ye Chen squinted his eyes, feeling that the name sounded familiar but couldn’t recall where he’d heard it.

Just then, Old Liao exclaimed, "No way! The owner here is Wang Long?"

"Yep, that Wang Long," Old Zhang shrugged.

Upon hearing this news, the Jiang City River Squad fell into a storm of discussion.

"Who would’ve thought that Wang Long would start a fish pond here? No wonder the location is so secluded."

"After the operations a few years ago, Wang Long has become a lot quieter, not as brash as before."

"Indeed, back in the day, Wang Long was quite a force to be reckoned with in Jiang City."

"Hey Old Zhang, are you sure this Wang Long is that Wang Long, and not just someone with the same name?"

Old Zhang nodded, "For sure, he even has an account on Kuaishou. I saw it the other day, and it’s the Wang Long who was a big deal a few decades ago."

Upon hearing this, the two youngsters, Ye Chen and Liao Xuexue, standing in front of the fish pond were utterly confused.

The two exchanged puzzled looks.

What are these old guys talking about?

Who is this Wang Long? Is he that amazing?

So, full of curiosity, Ye Chen turned to Old Zhang and asked, "Old Zhang, this Wang Long you’re talking about, who is he? He sounds pretty badass, is he that impressive?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s question, Old Zhang quickly turned around to look at the inside of the fish pond’s gate, then made a "shush" gesture to Ye Chen with a frightened look.

"Look, Teacher Ye, you can’t just say anything recklessly. If Wang Long hears you, we might be in for trouble."

Seeing Old Zhang, who was usually carefree, suddenly become so timid, Ye Chen’s curiosity was truly piqued.

Then, Old Zhang came up to Ye Chen and whispered in his ear.

"You’re young and don’t know about this Wang Long..."

And so, Old Zhang began to explain to Ye Chen about this guy called Wang Long.

Following Old Zhang’s description, Ye Chen got a rough understanding of Wang Long.

This guy is in his fifties, with a fierce look and tattoos all over his body.

It turns out that Wang Long was considered a big shot in the underground forces of Jiang City.

In the earlier years, around the ’70s and ’80s, he used to round up his boys to collect protection money and engage in shady business.

Wang Long was known for his ruthlessness, sparing no mercy, and back then he was a big name in Jiang City.

Later on, as his operations grew, he brought in a bunch of boys and started real estate business, thriving in Jiang City.

Subsequent crackdowns in recent years saw many of Wang Long’s team end up behind bars.

Wang Long, who narrowly escaped the suspicion, essentially vanished from Jiang City.

So much so that many who had heard of Wang Long speculated that he had run away and left the scene.

Who would’ve guessed, he now apparently had a fish pond business here.

Very few people like him get a good ending.

They either fall at the hands of their enemies or face the law’s punishment.

Since Old Zhang, Old Liao and the others were older, they naturally would have heard of the name Wang Long.

Hearing Old Zhang’s story, Liao Xuexue also furrowed her brows and couldn’t help but feel worried.
