The group followed Miles to Manele Bay, where the entire beachfront pier was dotted with numerous yachts, ranging in size from small to large, with dozens of them.

“Zhou Chao, your Dragonfly would be perfect here right now!” Si Cong marveled at the yachts on the pier and couldn’t help but exclaim.

“You have quite an imagination, but what you’re saying does make some sense!” Qin Fen also agreed, though it was a bit unrealistic.

“What’s this? Does Young Master Zhou have another large yacht?” Zhang Wenxuan asked curiously.

“A large one would befit Young Master Zhou’s status, at the very least, it should be a super luxurious yacht, not to mention his super luxury cruise ship!”

Can you two stop teasing me? When did you, Young Master Cong, become so close to Qin Fen?”

The two of them exchanged glances and simultaneously said, “Humph, who would want to be close to someone like him!”

Onlookers like Li Yang and the others burst into laughter at their banter, and Si Cong and Qin Fen looked away.

“Boss, this is the largest yacht on the island. I hope you don’t mind!” Miles quickly led everyone to a yacht.

“No problem, when I get the chance, I’ll have my Dragonfly brought over. It’s better to have it here for the occasional sea trip!” Zhou Chao replied and then turned to look at the others.

“Let’s get on board, no need to be shy!” He understood their concerns; they were worried about saving him some grace.

Li Yang, upon seeing this, quickly took Shen Lan’s hand and headed for the boat. Si Cong saw Li Yang had gone aboard and followed suit.

“Let’s go, dear!” Zhou Chao extended his right hand, took Jiang Li into his arms, and boarded the ship.

The yacht slowly sailed out of Manele Bay, and the scenery on both sides of the coastline was exceptionally beautiful. Everyone stood at the railing and gazed at the coastline.

They soon sailed a considerable distance from the shoreline. Miles brought out several sets of fishing gear for everyone to experience authentic sea fishing.

“Miles, do we have scuba diving equipment on the yacht?”

“Boss, are you interested in scuba diving? 1 wouldn’t recommend it here; the water is already over 20 meters deep, which isn’t very suitable. Lanai Island has a great diving spot. When we return, I’ll tell you where to go diving. There’s coral and schools of fish everywhere, and the underwater world is exceptionally beautiful!” Miles replied, getting lost in his memories, clearly indicating how beautiful the diving spot he mentioned was.

“Brother Chao, take a look, are those white spots sailboats in the distance?” Jiang Li pointed in the direction, where a few white dots floated on the distant sea, drifting with the wind.

“They should be, but it’s hard to see clearly from here!”

By this time, Si Cong and the others had gone to the stern to fish, Li Yang and Shen Lan were sitting on the deck chatting, and Guo Yan had long started taking photos.

“Guo Yan, be careful when taking photos near the railing, don’t fall!”

“Don’t worry, I’m holding onto the railing!”

Zhou Chao watched Guo Yan, who was excited, and shook his head with a smile.

“Brother Chao, 1 want to take photos too!” Jiang Li hugged Zhou Chao’s arm and acted coquettishly.

“Alright, alright, I’ll take some for you!” Zhou Chao pinched Jiang Li’s cheek and took out his phone from his pocket.

To be honest, Zhou Chao’s photography skills were really bad. He took about twenty photos, and when Jiang Li saw them, she pouted.

“Brother Chao, when are you going to improve your photography skills?” Jiang Li teased, looking at the two or three selected photos.

“Wuwu...” A melodious sound came from afar, and not long after, a few more sounds followed.

“What’s going on?” Li Yang also stood up from the deck and looked up at Zhou Chao, who was on the bridge.

“I’m not sure, but it sounds like the calls of whales!” Zhou Chao heard the sound and felt a slight palpitation, not understanding what was happening.

Right after Zhou Chao spoke, there were two more sounds, one loud and one quiet, that came immediately after!

Miles also came out from the cabin at this time.

“Boss, those are whale calls, I’m not sure what’s happening!”

Zhou Chao pondered for a moment, looked up at the distance, and said, “Get closer and take a look!”

Zhou Chao and the others were all surprised.

“Yes, this humpback whale seems to be entangled with a stalked barnacle and has come to us for assistance!” Jones also appeared puzzled, as encountering something like this was as rare as winning the lottery.

“Alright, 1 understand,” Zhou Chao nodded and turned his gaze to the humpback whale.

Their eyes met, and Zhou Chao seemed to see tears in the humpback whale’s eyes.

“Jones, what do we need to do to help it?”

“We just need to remove the barnacles from its body.”

“Get me a set of diving goggles and a knife!”

Hearing Zhou Chao’s request, everyone was stunned.

“Brother Chao...” Jiang Li was about to persuade Zhou Chao, but she saw the determination in his eyes.

In the end, all words were reduced to two: “Be careful!”

Jones quickly brought the diving goggles and a knife. Zhou Chao took them, secured the knife on his body, took a deep breath, and then jumped into the water.

Jiang Li, Si Cong, and the others leaned on the railing and looked into the sea.

“Where’s Zhou Chao? Why haven’t we seen him?” After a while, Si Cong asked worriedly.

“Jones, immediately arrange for someone to go down and check!” Miles was also anxious. If something happened to the boss, he would lose the big support he had just found.

“Wait a moment!” Just as Jones was about to send a sailor down, he was stopped by Jiang Li.

Everyone looked at Jiang Li in surprise.

Ignoring the curious gazes, Jiang Li continued to watch the sea and calmly said, “You have to believe in Brother Chao.”

Sure enough, not long after Jiang Li spoke, the humpback whale reacted and quickly submerged into the sea. Soon, they saw Zhou Chao’s figure emerging from the water.

Zhou Chao was now sitting on the humpback whale’s back.

“Wow, this is too cool!” Qin Fen, Zhang Wenxuan, and others had arrived on the deck without anyone noticing. Qin Fen couldn’t believe his eyes.

“Why don’t you go?” Si Cong teased Qin Fen.

“Hehe, if you have the guts, you can go. If you dare to go, I’ll go!” It seemed like a challenge, but it was also a way to pave the way for himself.

At this moment, Zhou Chao was lying on the humpback whale’s back and could clearly feel the dense barnacles covering its body.

Zhou Chao patted the humpback whale’s body and said, “Don’t be afraid, today 1’11 help you get rid of all of them!”

The humpback whale seemed to understand Zhou Chao’s voice and opened its mouth wide, letting out a loud cry.

Zhou Chao quickly began cleaning, and the humpback whale remained still on the water’s surface, calmly allowing Zhou Chao to work.

Soon, the barnacles on its back were all cleaned up, as there weren’t many there. Most of them were concentrated on its belly and sides.

“Big guy, turn over!” Zhou Chao patted the humpback whale’s body.

The humpback whale then sank into the sea, and Zhou Chao floated on the surface. Soon, the humpback whale resurfaced, but the barnacles on its side had been cleared.

“Any of you interested in trying it down here?” Zhou Chao called out to the people on the yacht.

Si Cong, Qin Fen, and the others looked at each other, but no one spoke. Then, they heard two splashes as Lin Wu and Li Yang, who had been following Zhou Chao, jumped into the water.

Si Cong, Qin Fen, Zhang Wenxuan, and the others watched as Lin Wu and Li Yang, wearing life jackets, quickly reached the humpback whale’s side and began cleaning.

Si Cong, Qin Fen, Zhang Wenxuan, and the others exchanged glances and took a deep breath. They put on life jackets and prepared to jump into the water.

“Wait a moment!” Si Cong stopped them.

“Sis, use my phone to record a video for me. When we return to China, I’ll be the first person in our country’s second generation to remove barnacles from a humpback whale!”

“Sure thing!”
