The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 411 - 242: One Plan Fails, Hatch Another! (Please Subscribe)

Upon receiving the message from the other party, Fang Hao hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to reply or not.

This… should he say he’s available or not?

Fang Hao had just returned not long ago, and his mental state was still rather average, wishing only to rest well.

The recent sea fishing trip had exhausted him mentally and physically.

He just wanted to stay home and recover.

Qiao Mei had seen Fang Hao’s live stream, so she knew he had returned from sea fishing, which is why she had promptly asked him out, hoping to act faster.

Time is life.

She was already being urged by her superiors to speed things up.

Progress with Fang Hao on Qiao Mei’s end had not changed much; it would be unacceptable to go several months without any.

So, other methods had to be used.

"This is a new drug, colorless and tasteless, unnoticeable to others. Just slip it into water and once the other person drinks it, they are at your mercy," someone handed a small bottle to Qiao Mei.

The implication was clear.

That is, to use some methods to advance the relationship with Fang Hao, and then bind him using a person.

To them, Qiao Mei was just a pawn at their disposal.

No matter how beautiful or attractive, as long as she could tie down Fang Hao, that was all that mattered.

"Understood." Qiao Mei nodded silently, taking the small white bottle in hand.

Fang Hao’s importance went without saying; if she could tie him down, what was the sacrifice of one person.

Now, she just needed to arrange a meeting with Fang Hao, and once she did, she would succeed...

"I’ve received news that several organizations have also sent people, all wanting to get their hands on that man. So we must speed up the process and not let others get the opportunity first." On this point, they still held an advantage.

Qiao Mei had known Fang Hao earlier.

"Hmm." Qiao Mei also felt a sense of pressure.

Fang Hao was different from other normal men.

With other men, she believed that given her beauty and charm, she could quickly captivate them and make them fall at her feet.

She did have the means to conquer men.

But Fang Hao... this man was very special.

He seemed completely indifferent to her beauty,

And that gave her a sense of defeat.

For the first time, she began to doubt the allure of her own looks.

Am I not attractive anymore?

But seeing her still beautiful reflection in the mirror, she reassured herself.

Maybe the problem wasn’t with her, but with Fang Hao.

This man was truly an enigma.

Even though she had watched many of Fang Hao’s live streams and thought she understood him somewhat, she still couldn’t see through him.

Soon,

She received a message from Fang Hao.

"I’m sorry, but I’ve been quite busy recently and don’t have much time."

Fang Hao had gracefully declined her invitation.

Better to stay in and rest well than to go out.

Of course, the most important reason was that Fang Hao sensed a strange feeling when with this girl Qiao Mei, as if her intentions were not pure.

Yet it didn’t seem like she was a gold digger; after all, she hadn’t coveted his money. On their last high-end restaurant outing, the bill wasn’t settled by Fang Hao.

In any case, Fang Hao couldn’t figure her out or see through her.

Beneath that innocent and beautiful face, there was complexity.

And Fang Hao didn’t have the time or energy to spend on her.

"When will you be free?"

Qiao Mei certainly wouldn’t give up.

"I don’t know."

Fang Hao simply and directly replied with three words.

Seeing the response of these three words, Qiao Mei felt a bit frustrated.

Was it really so difficult for a woman to pursue a man?

Isn’t it said that when a woman chases a man, it’s like a screen separating them?

But why did she feel like there were mountains between them – and not just any mountains, but Everest?

This really threw her off balance.

It took her a long time to regain her composure.

Then she prepared to reply to Fang Hao, but her fingers hovered over the phone for ages, unsure of what to say.

...

When the phone finally went quiet, Fang Hao lay down to rest his eyes.

Sea outings weren’t physically exhausting for him.

His body was so strong, far beyond human limits, that he could not possibly be weary.

Moreover, with his daily relentless training and practicing of Innate Skill, he couldn’t be tired; he was always full of energy.

What tired him was the mental strain.

That was truly exhausting.

Sigh.

Especially that fish that got away, Fang Hao was still heartbroken, in such pain.

Such a big fish, who knew when he would catch one like it again.

Rest, clear his mind.

Push all of those thoughts out of his head.

Get his mental state adjusted.

Then the next time he went sea fishing, his mood would be different.

And he rested like this…

...

The repair work on the Great Ming Treasure Ship was progressing smoothly, and with the help of the large mechanical equipment, the sunken ship was hoisted out of the sea in one piece.

Then it surfaced.

After the sunken ship came to the surface, the crew began to repair the damaged and waterlogged parts.

Once these repairs were done, they would check for any further leakage.

Only after ensuring no leaks would they attach the tow hook to the Great Ming Treasure Ship, ready to pull it back.

This sunken treasure ship was meant for the construction of the Great Ming Treasure Ship Museum, with a different kind of significance.

That’s why they had gone to great lengths to salvage it from the sea.

This Great Ming Treasure Ship, after several hundred years, was still surprisingly intact.
