404: Take back the remaining treasure

"There is a pearl inside. It came from a White Butterfly Shell I dove for myself and opened personally. It's not worth much, just keep it for the ladies to play with."

Yang Qi took the pearl out of the bag and showed it to Tang Long.

One look at the size and roundness of the pearl told him it was worth at least hundreds of thousands.

Tang Long took one look at Yang Qi's stance and knew that saying anything more would be useless, so he shook his head and said helplessly:

"Sigh! Fine, fine! Honestly, I'll help you deliver it tonight!"

"Enough said for now, let's go eat. Is your flight really in the morning?"

Yang Qi nodded and said:

"Yes, the return tickets are already booked. It's a 3:30 PM flight, so let's just find something to eat nearby."

Tang Long rolled his eyes at them:

"We're pressed for time, so we won't be able to make it if we go too far. Let's go!"

After the three of them finished eating, Yang Qi and Zhang Jun boarded their flight home. At the same time, Yang Qi received the three million yuan transferred by Tang Long.

After returning to Zhang Jun's house, Yang Qi gave him the other two gifts.

"Please help me give this to Tang Long!"

"Alright, I'll take it to him! I'll come pick up the gold bricks in a few days. The transaction amount is too large, so I'll help you register an overseas company and transfer the money into that."

Zhang Jun suggested. They had plenty of ways and channels to handle these matters of legal tax avoidance.

"Sure, have someone handle it for me. I'll give you a copy of my ID tomorrow. I'll also bring the gold over to you, and then the money can be transferred in."

Yang Qi said goodbye to Zhang Jun and returned to Qingshan Town. Since he had agreed with Bai Xue in the morning, several families were having a dinner party tonight.

Therefore, when he arrived at his mother's house, it was just about time for dinner. He also saw his father-in-law Bai Dahai, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, as well as Uncle Zheng Tie and his cousin.

It turned out that today was also the time for the harvest to return home, so it was a perfect opportunity for the families to get together and celebrate.

"Dad, Uncle, you're back!"

Yang Qi handed out cigarettes to them.

Bai Dahai took the initiative to talk about the harvest from this trip out to sea:

"Xiao Qi, you're back! Fortunately, we ran into a school of Sea Bass this time, otherwise the catch wouldn't have been much. We sold it all for over three hundred thousand!"

"But compared to other fishing boats, our catch was still pretty good. Come to think of it, the spots you chose were really effective."

Yang Qi nodded and said:

"That's why ordering the large boat was the right decision. If we don't go out to the deep sea, resources are becoming increasingly scarce."

"Before the new boat arrives, I will try my best to find some better spots. Everyone should keep a calm mind! Tell them there is no need to rush."

Bai Dahai laughed heartily:

"They won't be anxious. Even with just this much of a harvest, it's something we could hardly achieve when going out to sea in the past. How could they be anxious?"

"That's good! It will be better once the large boat arrives. Cousin, are you getting used to life on the boat?"

Yang Qi asked his cousin again.

"I'm used to it, I think it's quite good."

His cousin nodded with a smile.

While they were still chatting, Bai Xue and the others had already started bringing dishes to the dining room; it was time to eat.

During the meal, Yang Qi also learned that the current occupancy rate of the Tide Cottage was around 70-80%.

About half of them were Anglers who had come from afar, so his father's business was not affected at all; he even heard him say that people called almost every day wanting to go out to sea on his fishing boat to fish.

However, he always prioritized the guesthouse guests, and only when there weren't enough guests to fill the boat would he occasionally take a few other Anglers.

It is said that his father is now quite famous in the local fishing circle, and everyone knows that there is a captain at Tide Cottage who is very good at finding fish.

Seeing the uncontrollable smile on his father's face when he talked about this, Yang Qi felt very happy. He felt that buying the fishing boat for his father back then was the right thing to do.

After dinner, Yang Qi and Bai Xue drove home. After discussing it, they decided to just go and retrieve the gold bricks hidden in the sea tonight.

Anyway, they weren't planning on going too far, so they went to refuel with twenty thousand yuan of gas and left Qingshan Town.

They hurried along the way and finally arrived at their destination around 12:30 AM.

He asked Bai Xue to stay on the boat to fish and observe the surroundings to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. Yang Qi went into the sea alone.

Since he hadn't untied the ropes when he hid them, it was much faster to hoist them up this time.

It took about two hours to hoist all ten boxes of gold bricks, two boxes of gold Buddha vessels, one box of gold jewelry, and one box of gold coins from the seabed onto the deck.

By the time all the boxes were pushed into the Freezer Hold, it was already past four o'clock. The two of them didn't linger and sailed straight home.

Bai Xue went to the kitchen to cook a pot of white porridge and took out the pickled vegetables that had been left on the boat last time. The two of them ate a little to fill their stomachs.

With the experience from last time, Yang Qi quickly checked the material of the boxes and found they were all made of teak.

While it was still dark, they dismantled most of the boxes and threw them back into the sea.

Returning to the Sea View Villa small pier, the two of them each pulled a large fishing box and walked towards home.

"Hey! Isn't this Xiao Yang? Long time no see. Are you back from fishing today? Did you catch anything?"

They saw a few old men returning from fishing on the road.

"Oh! Gentlemen, did you go fishing? How was the harvest?"

Yang Qi's counter-question made the old men look embarrassed.

"Could it be that, like me, the fishing conditions were particularly bad today? I also went to my old fishing spots, and there wasn't a single bite. It's really strange."

Yang Qi continued.

"That's right! It's really strange today; the bites are very bad."

"Yes, yes! Everyone has no bites; otherwise, I would definitely have filled my box."

The old men scrambled to express that they didn't catch any fish because the fishing conditions were bad today.

See, even Xiao Yang, who went out to sea to fish, didn't catch any fish. So for them, who were fishing on the shore, wasn't it understandable that they didn't catch any fish?

Understanding is everything!

The group separated at the crossroads and went their own ways.

Yang Qi and his partner went back to haul two more loads of gold bricks before locking the cabin door and going home to cook.

Meanwhile, when Yang Qi and Bai Xue were salvaging boxes at sea, in Beijing, at Second Uncle Tang Bangqiang's house.

"Uncle, this was brought by my friend Yang Qi this morning. I have a portion at my place as well."

Tang Long said to his Uncle, Tang Bangqiang.

"What is this?"

Tang Bangqiang held the ambergris and looked it over, but couldn't understand what it was.

"This is top-grade ambergris!"

Tang Long answered honestly.

"So this is ambergris! I haven't really seen it before."

Tang Bangqiang looked at the ambergris a few more times before putting it back on the table.

"Did that Yang Qi say anything else when he brought these over?"

Tang Long quickly said:

"He didn't say anything. He sold this to me for less than half price."

"I originally wanted to buy it at market price, but the Zhang brothers also helped out this time, and they all bought it for less than half price, so it was hard for me to refuse."
