Jumping was becoming increasingly difficult. After being led around by Shi Tian for three or four rounds that morning, the fish felt the tension on the hook increase. It suddenly realized that being slowly tormented by Shi Tian wasn’t so bad after all; it was certainly better than being dragged up to face a knife.
Unfortunately, there was no way for it to negotiate with Shi Tian; they had no common language and could not reach an agreement. As it approached the side of the boat, Air Force prepared to hook it, aiming with precision.
Dragging the fish toward the back of the boat proved challenging due to its size, but it was easier from the Stern side. Moreover, there was a hidden small crane at the Stern, which had never been used since the boat was launched!
“Ye Ge, grab the rope and loop it around the fish’s tail! It’s quite large; we need the crane!” Air Force called out as he dragged the fish toward the Stern, maneuvering around Head Brother.
At this shout, a group of people froze and quickly leaned over to look down at the side of the boat.
“Do we need to use the crane? How big is this fish?” they wondered. Excluding the three girls on board, there were still several people present—was it really necessary to use a crane?
Shi Ye glanced outside at the fish. It was indeed large, nearly two meters long by estimation, but did such a big fish really require a crane? Couldn’t they just tie a rope around its tail and pull it up with a few people?
Shi Ye fetched a rope and, with help from Lu Ya and Head Brother, secured it around the fish's tail. Fearing that they might pull it up directly without using the crane, Air Force quickly activated it.
The steel plates on either side of the Stern creaked as a small crane was lifted by hydraulic power. The rope tied to the fish’s tail was hooked onto the crane’s hook, and its arm extended slowly, lifting the fish out of the water. A display showed its weight—quite advanced technology indeed.
The small crane rated for one ton struggled to lift a one-hundred-pound Bigeye Tuna, creating an amusingly mismatched scene!
Feeling quite wronged, the Bigeye Tuna was finally brought aboard. Shi Tian stuck his rod into the side of the boat and led Li Ziyu and her friends over to take a few hurried photos. “The sun is about to rise! Let’s go up to the top deck to watch it!” he urged.
They needed to bleed and acidify the fish soon; it would be a bloody affair, and he didn’t want to scare off these three lovely girls.
Upon hearing this, Shi Ye glanced at Head Brother taking pictures with the fish and then huffed at him before following Shi Tian up to the top deck.
Shi Tian had no intention of getting involved in bleeding and acidifying this fish; its greatest contribution wasn’t making it to their dinner table but rather posing for photos with them. By the time Air Force finished taking pictures, they weren’t even sure if they could bleed out the fish without compromising its meat quality!
Life on deck wasn’t as idyllic as one might think. Air Force acted as photographer on one level while Shi Tian took photos from another deck. They started shooting as dawn broke until the sun rose fully above the horizon.
By then, three lovely girls had taken turns posing with their catch in front of them countless times before their task was finally complete.
Peeking down at Air Force on one level below, Shi Tian sighed in relief; after bleeding and acidifying, at least they wouldn’t have to deal with a stinky fish!
“Tian Ge, hand us your phone so we can test your photography skills!” After finishing their photoshoot, Eleven moved closer to Shi Tian and reached out her hand. The three girls’ gazes converged on him as his phone ended up in Eleven's hands.
Shi Tian wasn’t worried about them exposing Rogue Software’s secrets after taking his phone; those girls were sharper than most people he knew. Once he let go of his phone, they would vanish before he knew it—a lesson he had learned before.
As Eleven flipped through several photos, September turned to Shi Tian with a slight smile and gave him a teasing look. “Tian Ge, breakfast is all yours today!”
Your cooking is the best I've ever had! Aren't you taking us snorkeling later? If breakfast satisfies us, we'll pick the sexiest swimsuit for Xiao Yu as a thank you!
As soon as those words were spoken, Li Ziyu got into a scuffle with September, and even Eleven, who was leaning on the table flipping through photos, got caught up in it.
Don't worry, I'll handle breakfast! Upon hearing about the sexiest swimsuit, Shi Tian immediately became energized and dashed downstairs to the kitchen.
As Shi Tian left, September and Eleven quickly pinned Li Ziyu down on the table to subdue her.
Quick! Check WeChat and see how many women are in there! Ignoring Li Ziyu's struggles, September immediately commanded.
We need to check the call logs too, to see the frequency and duration of calls; the duration speaks volumes! While scrolling through Shi Tian's WeChat, Eleven added.
Nonsense! The browser history reveals everything; let’s see if there’s any Quark involved! September countered Eleven’s point and quickly reminded them.
Li Ziyu had given up on struggling. She knew that going through Shi Tian's phone was not a good idea, but she felt a twinge of curiosity inside her. She was being coerced; now that she had stopped resisting, this wasn’t her doing at all! It had nothing to do with her!
Who is this Su Xueyi? Sounds like a woman! The call duration isn’t long, but the frequency is high—six calls in a month. We need to investigate this person thoroughly; make sure to note down the number!
There really wasn’t much to check on WeChat. As soon as Eleven saw the names of the people in there, he lost all desire to investigate. He finally found one that had nothing to do with fishing, but it was Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell—clearly a chef!
That’s an employee from the Fishing Tackle Shop; she has a boyfriend and works for Shi Tian! Before Li Ziyu could finish explaining, she was immediately pressed down on the table and silenced.
We need to investigate that employee thoroughly; what if she’s a little secret? Did you get her number? Keep going!
Quark is quite prominent! Hurry up and check the cache and records to see what his taste is like!
