299: Looking out over the Diaoyu Islands

When Yang Qi first heard Zhang Jun's loud laughter, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"This is going to be bad!"

Just as Yang Qi was secretly blaming himself for being too talkative,

sure enough, Zhang Jun immediately announced that he had caught a Giant Grouper weighing over three hundred jin.

Then he went on to describe how perilous the situation was, how he handled it, and how he finally managed to land that three-hundred-jin Giant Grouper.

Yang Qi was speechless. He could imagine Zhang Jun on the other side, gesticulating wildly and spitting with excitement.

"Yang Qi! Did you catch any big fish over there?"

Hearing this, Yang Qi could only helplessly bring the walkie-talkie back to his side and said:

"No, it's just small fish here."

Wasn't it? A thirty-something jin fish is just a small fish compared to a three-hundred-jin one, right?

"Uh~ Brother Jun, Bai Xue is calling me for dinner, I've got to go!"

After saying that, Yang Qi cut the call, rubbed his forehead, and walked out of the Cockpit.

"We haven't finished talking yet! Why is he eating already?" Zhang Jun muttered.

After the three of them finished their late-night snack, they went to rest.

Meanwhile, on the vast sea, everyone was also having a late-night snack, but except for Zhang Jun, everyone else kept their heads down, eating as fast as they could, even feeling that the late-night meal didn't taste as good as dinner.

The reason was actually very simple: Zhang Jun kept bragging about the big fish he had caught, chattering on like a monk.

Although everyone wished they were the one doing the showing off, they couldn't stand someone else bragging incessantly. They could only speed up their eating, wanting to finish and leave as soon as possible.

The next morning, Yang Qi, Bai Xue, and Yao Shanshan first retrieved the crab traps.

When the ten crab traps were pulled up one after another, Yao Shanshan exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, what a great harvest, they're overflowing!"

The three of them brought the crab traps onto the setting sail, and saw that each cage was packed full of large Crabs and Large Lobsters.

They tied up most of the intact large Crabs and put them along with the Large Lobsters into the small Live Well.

As for the ones with missing limbs, they were picked out to be eaten by the people on the two boats. The small ones were all thrown back into the sea.

The morning sunlight gently sprinkled over the sea, its golden rays seeming to drape the entire world in a thin, golden veil.

"vast sea, this is setting sail, please respond if you hear me!" Yang Qi came to the Cockpit and began calling the vast sea.

"setting sail, this is vast sea, go ahead!" The next moment, a duty captain from the vast sea replied.

"Come over slowly and take some Crabs to eat."

"Alright, thank you."

Twenty minutes later, the two boats slowly approached each other, and Yang Qi gave more than half a basket of Crabs and Lobsters to the vast sea.

Then he signaled for the vast sea to follow him. They needed to hurry and try to reach the waters near the Diaoyu Islands before sunset to start their great fishing endeavor.

Since both boats were not operated by just one person, Yang Qi and the duty captain of the vast sea discussed and decided not to stop the boats until they reached their destination.

Along the way, they took turns steering the boats and eating, striving to reach the Diaoyu Islands as early as possible.

The subsequent journey became calm and uneventful, with the two boats steadily moving forward on the rippling blue sea.

On the setting sail, one person would steer the boat while the other two enjoyed the scenery and the sea breeze on the Flybridge.

After the trip to the South China Sea, Yao Shanshan had come to understand Yang Qi's character, and the two were very natural even when they were alone together.

Even now, while Bai Xue was steering the boat, the two could chat casually on the Flybridge.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and the afterglow on the horizon was as brilliant as an oil painting. Yao Shanshan took a few landscape photos and asked Yang Qi to take pictures for her.

"Yang Qi, use your phone to take a few photos of me. Your phone seems to have high resolution. Remember to turn on the beauty filter!"

Yang Qi nodded, took out his phone, and began taking pictures of Yao Shanshan.

To be honest, it was the first time he had looked at Yao Shanshan so carefully, even if it was through a phone camera.

Even last time in the South China Sea, he couldn't have stared at the girl like this.

At this moment, Yao Shanshan took off her mask and was posing, looking into the distance from the side.

The sea breeze blew her long hair, and the front of her loose clothes clung tightly to her chest, outlining her perfect figure. Combined with her stunning face, it actually made Yang Qi's heart skip a beat at that moment.

Yang Qi immediately pressed the button to capture that moment of beauty.

He took six or seven photos of Yao Shanshan in total, and finally let her choose the ones she wanted to send to her own phone.

Yang Qi slowly steered the setting sail closer to the Diaoyu Islands.

Looking from afar, the Diaoyu Islands were like an emerald embedded in the blue sea, lush and full of vitality.

The island had dense vegetation, and the lush trees shimmered with emerald light under the sunlight, as if it were a natural oxygen bar gifted by nature.

The closer they got to the island, the clearer and bluer the seawater became, like a huge sapphire embedded in it.

The waves gently lapped against the rocks on the shore, making a pleasant sound, as if welcoming guests from afar.

"This is the Diaoyu Islands of our motherland! So beautiful!"

On the bow, Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan kept taking pictures of the beautiful scenery of the Diaoyu Islands.

They even called Yang Qi out to take a group photo. Yang Qi also saw the people on the vast sea constantly taking pictures.

In fact, on the vast and boundless sea, there are countless islands more beautiful than the Diaoyu Islands. However, in the hearts of the Chinese people, it appears so different.

Because in previous years, the japanese coveted the Diaoyu Islands, and the incident of landing on the island to build a lighthouse angered the Chinese people and caused a huge uproar.

The Diaoyu Islands have been an indispensable part of our country's territory and territorial waters since ancient times, sacred and inviolable!

Later, in 2010, when a Chinese fishing boat was fishing in the nearby waters, it was violently expelled. This incident shocked the international community and the domestic government, and China began normalized patrols to maintain the integrity of its territory.

To prevent such incidents from happening again, the national Maritime Safety Administration began to mobilize various small and medium-sized fishery administration vessels for patrols and added medium-sized warships.

Originally, Yang Qi and the others were ambitious, planning to land on the Diaoyu Islands to experience the feeling of fishing there and then show off when they returned.

But on the way here this morning, they encountered a maritime surveillance law enforcement vessel patrolling the waters near the Diaoyu Islands.

The people on the law enforcement vessel friendly and firmly reminded them: "You can fish freely in the surrounding waters and enjoy the gifts of the sea. We also wish you a bountiful harvest."

"However, the Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated islands are sacred and inviolable, and landing on the islands is absolutely prohibited."
