Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Su Wanqiu watched Zhang Ning's departing figure, still feeling lingering fear.

"Is it that serious?"

"Yes, and the losses will only be greater if they go to the Widow's Sea."

Yang Bai shook his head. Liu Caixia deserved to die, but she dragged the others down with her.

Yang Bai stayed with his wife and daughter throughout the storm. The next day, after the storm had passed, he took Yang Jun to the dock as usual.

A day of storms tossed the ships at the dock all over the place, but Yang Bai's steel ship remained as steady as Mount Tai.

Just as I was about to untie the chains securing the iron chains, I heard people around me talking about what happened yesterday.

"Yesterday was terrible. Some people foolishly went to Widow's Sea and got caught in a storm. I heard a lot of people died."

"That's right, so many boats were destroyed, and Haiba Village has lost everything in the compensation."

"By the way, Yang Bai seems to be alright? Look, he's right there."

"He was lucky. If he had dared to drive yesterday, even ten lives wouldn't have been enough for him to cause trouble."

......

Yang Jun grew increasingly angry as he listened. His elder brother's weather predictions were clearly more accurate than the radio broadcasts, but they were calling it luck.

"Brother Yang, what they said was disgusting."

Yang Bai smiled faintly, the more sour they were, the less capable they were.

"It's okay, we'll make our money, and they can only watch."

Yang Jun nodded slightly. "That's true."

He looked down at the chattering crowd with an arrogant air, as if to say, "What else can you do besides complain?"

A group of fishermen watched, feeling furious but helpless.

They had no choice but to shuffle over to the side to play.

"Yang Bai!"

Hou Sanli, carrying his briefcase, ran over and called out to him.

He grasped Yang Bai's hand and expressed his deep gratitude.

"Yang Bai, thanks to your reminder, we didn't lend Liu Caixia our boat, otherwise we would really be finished today."

He still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it now.

I just received news this morning that Liu Caixia's boat got lost before even entering the sea area.

They also encountered a storm, and all twelve wooden boats were destroyed.

Her claim of understanding and knowing is utter nonsense; the situation is probably more complicated than he thinks.

Currently, it seems that only Yang Bai has the ability to develop the Widow Sea.

If it weren't for Yang Bai's reminder and seemingly threatening words, he would have actually lent the boat to Liu Caixia to try it out.

It won't be as simple as just paying compensation and getting fired; you could end up in jail.

"It's alright, it's just that you listen to advice."

Yang Bai looked towards Widow's Sea, but those who wouldn't listen to advice were already singing "Cooling Down" in the sea.

Hou Sanli's expression was solemn, and his tone was calm.

"No matter what, you're my savior. If you ever need anything, just let me know."

Upon hearing this, Yang Bai realized there was indeed something he needed to ask for a favor.

"Manager Hou, could you get two bicycle tickets?"

Hou Sanli thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"It's possible, but it will take time."

"That's fine, I'm going fishing now."

Yang Bai continued to dismantle the iron chains with his head down.

Yang Jun walked over and patted Yang Bai on the shoulder. "Brother Yang, it looks like government officials are coming!"

Yang Bai turned his head and saw that there were indeed police officers in green uniforms walking towards him.

The lead special envoy, with slicked-back hair, made a routine inquiry.

Are you Yang Bai?

"Yes, that's me."

Yang Bai nodded.

He hadn't done anything illegal, he hadn't even bought tickets on the black market, and he had paid off all his gambling debts.

The only thing he could think of was yesterday's shipwreck.

When someone dies, the commune will definitely investigate thoroughly from top to bottom.

The special envoy patted him on the shoulder.

"Come with me to the county hospital. Someone said you encouraged Liu Caixia to go fishing at Widow's Sea?"

Yang Bai laughed; this was such a low-class way of splashing dirty water.

He wanted to see who was so brainless.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun, who was standing nearby, immediately stopped the special envoy.

"Comrade Special Envoy, my brother Yang tried to dissuade them that day, but they insisted on going. What does it have to do with our sport?"

The special envoy opened his notebook and said.

"However, as far as we know, Yang Bai gambled and owed the Zhang family forty yuan. Although he paid it back, a conflict arose."

Moreover, according to Liu Caixia, she has been pressuring you to marry your ex-wife to her mentally challenged son.

Therefore, we have every reason to suspect that Yang Bai had a motive to encourage Liu Caixia to go to sea knowing that a storm was imminent.

Yang Jun laughed at the absurd reason given.

"My brother Yang is a magnanimous man. After repaying the money, he never paid any more attention to the Zhang family."

"I suspect the Zhang family was jealous, and that's why they splashed dirty water after the accident at sea."

"Comrade Special Envoy, you must investigate this thoroughly."

Yang Bai stopped Yang Jun.

He never imagined that Liu Caixia would be so lucky to escape from the Widow's Sea during yesterday's storm.

He can still testify! But lying in the county hospital, he probably only has his mouth that can move.

"Xiao Jun, go back and tell your wife and daughter that I'll be back later. Don't tell them I was arrested by the special envoy, and don't make them worry."

Yang Jun nodded.

"it is good."

Yang Bai turned to Hou Sanli and said, "Manager Hou, please come along."

Hou Sanli shook his head.

"I will naturally tell you the truth about what happened yesterday regarding such a small matter."

Yang Bai then looked at the special envoy in front of him.

"Alright, I can go with you."

Yang Bai was escorted into a police car by the special envoy.

The crowd, always eager for a good show, started talking excitedly, especially the fishermen.

"I knew it! Yang Bai was definitely not a good person."

"I never imagined he was a murderer."

"He's very selfish. Because Liu Caixia knew Widow Hai's route, he deliberately tried to kill her."

"Yes, and it has caused so many innocent people to die."

......

hospital.

Yang Bai followed the special envoy into the corridor, where a sense of oppression permeated the surroundings.

The corridor was filled with the families of those who died in the maritime disaster.

Because Liu Caixia was in a hurry, she mostly contacted people from her own village.

Yang Bai was almost someone they knew, and they were almost someone they knew as well.

The moment Yang Bai appeared, the families of the shipwreck victims were instantly consumed by rage.

One by one, they rushed towards him angrily with red eyes, but were immediately stopped by the special envoy on site.

The crowd completely lost control, bending down to pick up the bottles on the ground and, despite the militiamen's attempts to stop them, smashing them fiercely towards Yang Bai.

Yang Bai's head was hit and a wound was inflicted.

He covered his head; this shipwreck was no small matter. There were twelve ships, each with at least four people on board.

He could understand the emotions of the families of the more than forty people who were killed or injured.

The most important thing right now is to resolve the principal contradiction.

It's obvious that Liu Caixia used her injuries to gain sympathy and then shifted all the blame onto him.

The slick-haired special envoy picked up the baton tucked into his waistband and roared.

"What are you all doing? The matter hasn't even been settled yet, and you're already hitting people. Do you only behave when they're locked up in jail?"

After being warned, they calmed down and began to hurl insults at Yang Bai.

"Comrade Special Envoy, Yang Bai is a beast! He knew there would be a storm, yet he just stood by and watched my child go to his death at Widow's Sea!"

"Yang Bai, I'll kill you!"

"He had the complete route but refused to share it, causing ships to wander aimlessly in the Widow's Sea, unable to escape. It's all his fault!"

"My child, how could you die such a tragic death? I will make Yang Bai pay with his life!"
