The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

Jichuan International Trade Co., Ltd.

That is the multinational trading company Inoue established in Jinghai.

On the surface, it's a trading company, but in reality, it's specialized in doing all sorts of shady activities behind the scenes.

Soon, a new task arrived.

This side had already set their sights on Fang Hao.

When Inoue saw the new task, he was somewhat puzzled, thinking that it might be overkill to put so much effort into dealing with a mere fisherman.

That was until he saw the information about Fang Hao and was struck with disbelief, his eyes filled with incredulity.

Fang Hao's fishing livestreams were public, so the things he caught were not difficult to investigate.

One could easily look them up.

When he saw that Fang Hao had caught corpses, cannons, cars, his heart was already deeply shocked; and then seeing that he also caught torpedoes, sunken ships, detectors... his whole being felt numb.

Was this really a fisherman???

Aren't fishermen supposed to catch fish?

But this person... seemed to catch anything he wanted, except for fish.

And the things he caught, each one more outrageous than the last.

Especially the sunken ships he was able to catch, not just one.

Look at the recently caught Apowan...

What!

He had even caught the Apowan!

Inoue naturally knew what kind of ship the Apowan was, and he knew much more than the average person—it was their Sakura's secret.

But now... since the Apowan was caught, it meant that this secret was exposed to the public, impossible to hide any longer.

After all, there are forty tons of gold on that ship, as well as a large quantity of jewels and artifacts.

Inoue checked and quickly confirmed that the sunken ship discovered was indeed the true Apowan, not another ship with the same name.

It was also because of this ship, the Apowan, that the higher-ups were so urgently trying to poach Fang Hao.

Adding his ability to catch other things... indeed, the value was quite different.

The higher-ups' intention was also very clear; they wanted Fang Hao.

If Fang Hao became one of them, using his fishing ability in the future to just catch another sunken ship...

The rewards would be extremely vast.

Sakura is surrounded by the sea with marine resources far richer than anything else.

There are countless sunken ships around, each a treasure. If they could recruit Fang Hao to fish for those sunken ships, and salvage even one filled with treasures, that would definitely make them rich!

Compared to the cost of recruiting Fang Hao, that's nothing; merely a drop in the bucket.

They still could do the math on this.

No wonder the higher-ups had cautioned them not to underestimate the situation.

Inoue immediately ordered his subordinates to check on Fang Hao's whereabouts.

In less than an hour.

"Inoue-kun."

"There's the latest news."

Just then, a subordinate rushed in, looking flustered.

"What is it?"

"Take a look at today's news."

"?" Inoue was puzzled, not understanding his subordinate's implication, but he did as suggested and opened up today's news section.

He just happened to see a news broadcast about an award ceremony. The person at the award ceremony... wasn't it Fang Hao?

"It's him."

Upon seeing Fang Hao, Inoue suddenly realized. But soon he saw the placard in Fang Hao's hand, which was the award given to the latter.

Written on it was... a reward of one hundred million.

"One... one hundred million?"

After seeing this reward, Inoue was completely stunned.

So much money!

He had previously thought about testing Fang Hao with twenty million US dollars, as for many people, that was already a lot, more than many could earn in a lifetime. But if they agreed to their terms and joined them, they could get twenty million US dollars, which he believed many couldn't resist.

But now, seeing that Fang Hao had received a reward of one hundred million and also obtained a set of real estate, that money... might not be enough.

To recruit Fang Hao, the offer had to be tantalizing enough.

"You, go check on his connections, see if he's married or has a partner."

Inoue once again arranged for his subordinates to investigate Fang Hao's relations.

He thought that they might not be successful with just money; they may need to add a bit of beauty into the mix.

For a normal man, nobody can resist the allure of a beautiful woman.

When he learned that Fang Hao was still single, a plan formed in his mind.

"It looks like we'll have to send Qiao Mei into action."

Qiao Mei was the most beautiful flower under his command, with an outstanding figure, and she had undergone special training. She had special methods to deal with men, and Inoue believed that once Qiao Mei made her move... perhaps the other party would fall.

Women were always the best weapon to use.

Especially for a greenhorn, who could hardly resist the charm of a woman.

However, before that, they needed to create a situation for the two to meet.

...

Villa.

"Brother, this place of yours is really nice."

"Peaceful amidst the chaos, a secluded orchid in the valley."

"It's much better than my home."

Lao Gao also looked enviously at the villa belonging to Fang Hao.

"Why don't we swap?"

Fang Hao joked.

"Sure." Lao Gao immediately agreed.

"If you agree, your wife might not agree though," Fang Hao said, not believing his tall tales.

"Now tell me about when you're going out to sea next."
