“Boss, George is about to arrive!” Lin Wu, holding his phone, walked up to Zhou Chao, who was chatting with Li Hao.
“Alright.”
Zhou Chao turned to Li Hao, who was beside him and said, “The yacht has arrived. I’ll go tell Li Yang. Once I’ve informed him, we can leave.”
“I’ll come with you.”
“Sure.” Zhou Chao and Li Hao headed towards Li Yang, who was chatting in the crowd.
When Li Yang saw Zhou Chao and Li Hao approaching, he stepped out of the crowd.
“Big Bro, I’m planning to go fishing with Li Hao. Just wanted to let you know.”
“You two go and enjoy yourselves. You’re leaving me here to socialize alone. I’m envious!” Li Yang wore a bitter expression. n(-OvεlbIn
“Today, you’re the star. You can do it!” Li Hao cheered him on, though he secretly found it amusing.
“Don’t make fun of me. You’ll understand how tough it is when you get married in the future! You guys can go now.” Zhou Chao nodded in agreement and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Zhou Chao stopped Li Yang. “Big Bro, why haven’t Qin Fen and the others come?”
“Oh, they’re overseas at the moment, busy with something. I didn’t ask for details.” Zhou Chao nodded in understanding.
“You take care. We’re off!” With that, he led Li Hao away.
“Wow, Chao, this yacht of yours is really nice!” Li Hao marveled at the massive vessel before them.
While it may not compare to the luxury cruise ships nearby, it was an impressive yacht in its own right.
“Let’s go; it’s getting late!” Zhou Chao led Li Hao and the two women aboard the Dragonfly.
The mid-March weather had turned warm, and the four of them lounged on the bridge, enjoying the view of the towering skyscrapers along the Huangpu River, chatting and laughing.
Soon, the Dragonfly set sail from the mouth of the harbor and headed towards the open waters of the Yellow Sea.
After about an hour of sailing, George brought the yacht to a stop.
Zhou Chao pointed at the large lobster beneath the rock, and the two sailors nodded in understanding. One of them took out a piece of equipment and swam toward the rock.
In the blink of an eye, the sailor managed to capture the large lobster, impressing Zhou Chao and Li Hao, who applauded their skill.
The sailor put the lobster in a bag and offered it to Zhou Chao. Zhou Chao waved it off and pointed to Li Hao, who was nearby. The sailor then handed the bag containing the large lobster to Li Hao.
Li Hao glanced at Zhou Chao before taking the bag from the sailor. He then made a rising motion with his hand. Zhou Chao nodded in agreement, and Li Hao and one of the sailors ascended to the surface.
As Zhou Chao watched Li Hao rise to the surface, he gestured to the sailor accompanying him, indicating that they should continue exploring.
After swimming for a while, they didn’t find anything valuable. The rocky terrain had given way to a vast expanse of sandy seabed, and Zhou Chao eventually landed on the ocean floor and took a few steps.
“Yeah, there’s something under my feet,” Zhou Chao said as he quickly lowered his head to look at the sandy seabed. There seemed to be something hidden beneath the sand. Zhou Chao was sure it wasn’t a rock. He dove down and carefully examined it.
Using the tools he had with him, he carefully removed the sand from the seabed. Soon, a bowl-shaped object appeared. Zhou Chao put away his tools and gently lifted the bowl from the seabed using his hands.
Just as Zhou Chao was about to examine it closely, a nearby sailor swam over to remind him that he was running low on air and needed to surface. Zhou Chao quickly nodded and swam toward the surface.
“Whew... Whew!” As soon as he emerged from the water, Zhou Chao felt a ringing in his ears. He took a few deep breaths to clear his head from the dizziness.
Meanwhile, the yacht had slowly approached. Before boarding, Zhou Chao handed the bowl he had found to Li Hao, who had come to help him. Once on board, Zhou Chao removed his diving gear and lay down on the deck.
“Brother Chao, are you okay?” Jiang Li quickly approached and supported Zhou Chao’s body.
“I’m fine. I just spent too long in the water, so 1 felt a bit dizzy when I surfaced. 1’11 be fine after a short rest.” Upon hearing this, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Chao lay like that for a few minutes and gradually felt better. He stood up and remembered the bowl he had given to Li Hao before boarding.
“Li Hao, where’s the bowl I gave you earlier?”
“It’s inside. Do you want me to get it for you?”
“Let’s go check it out.” Zhou Chao and the others went into the cabin. As soon as they entered, Zhou Chao saw the bowl placed on the table.
“Brother Chao, is there something special about this bowl?” Jiang Li, curious, asked after watching Zhou Chao study it for a while.
“This bowl might be an antique, but 1 can’t see it clearly. I’ll have to make a call to confirm my suspicion,” Zhou Chao replied. Li Hao and He Xin also showed curiosity.
“Chao’er, who are you going to call?” Li Hao asked, puzzled.
“Ma Weidou!”
