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

"Because we caught a lot of high-quality fish, our superiors noticed and specifically requested that we go over this time."

Yang Bai explained the reason.

The crew members exchanged smiles. After all their hard work, they had finally been noticed by their superiors, which was a good thing.

Yang Bai took out a map and began to assign tasks.

The captains all had specific fishing areas they operated in.

The remaining task is the task of the sixty-ton ship.

Ma Yongkang steadied his breathing. He had just made a mistake, and it was very likely that Yang Bai would have the 60-ton ship shut down and stopped.

He was already prepared for this.

Ma Yongkang clenched his fists, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were listening to a verdict.

Seeing his expression, Yang Bai continued speaking.

"I don't plan to stop the 60-ton ship. Stopping it for even a day would mean a loss of several thousand dollars."

"My principle is to trust those I employ and not to employ those I don't trust."

"Therefore, you can continue to use this ship, Ma Yongkang, for the next few days, within a range of twelve nautical miles."

"I hope that what happened in the early hours of the morning will not happen again, if such an accident does occur."

"First Mate Ma, you know yourself, you won't need me to rush you then."

Ma Yongkang opened his eyes, feeling a weight lifted from his heart.

He also knew that no accidents could happen in the next few days; it was Yang Bai's test for him.

He nodded emphatically.

"Captain Yang, there will absolutely be no accident. If there is, I'll leave on my own!"

Yang Bai handed the map in his hand to Ma Yongkang.

"Alright, this is the sea area you'll be heading to for the next few days. Whether or not you go fishing until I return is up to the captain. Everything is decided by the captain!"

He wanted to see who had performed best in his absence, and it was time to recommend a vice-captain of the port.

He was able to maintain stability within the fleet even when he wasn't personally leading it.

"Whether you choose to go out to sea or go back to sleep today is up to the captain. I'm going back to pack my things."

Every captain, of course, chose to continue fishing.

They immediately returned to the ship and set sail for the fishing grounds designated by Yang Bai.

Yang Bai rode his motorcycle home. At that time, only Su Wanqiu was cutting clothes. Zhang Ning went to work at the rescue station, and Qiaoqiao went to school.

Su Wanqiu was somewhat surprised by Yang Bai's sudden return.

"Yang Bai, I thought you'd be back tonight. Did you stay up all night this time?"

Yang Bai shook his head.

"I didn't stay up all night; I followed the doctor's orders."

"I'm back today because I'm going to Quanzhou for a few days."

Su Wanqiu stopped scissors in her hand and asked.

"Going to Quanzhou? What for?"

Yang Bai explained his purpose for the trip.

Su Wanqiu's smile never faded.

"Yang Bai, I've washed and ironed your suit. It'll look perfect on you."

Yang Bai hugged Su Wanqiu from behind, smelling her fragrance and kissing her cheek.

"Late Autumn, thank you."

Su Wanqiu blushed at the sudden hug and kiss, and she glanced at the guard standing outside the door and whispered.

"There are still people outside. If you want to do it, do it at night, you old scoundrel."

"Who are you calling a hooligan?"

Yang Bai rubbed his face against Su Wanqiu's face.

She was tickled by Yang Bai's beard and laughed until tears streamed down her face.

"You old lecher, I still need to make clothes. Don't bother me."

Yang Bai kissed him again before leaving.

He picked up the wooden box and started packing his clothes. He wasn't leaving until tomorrow, so he had to get everything ready today to avoid any chaos later.

Yang Bai had just finished packing his luggage and was about to drink tea when Ma Hou rushed over.

Before Yang Bai could ask him what he was doing there...

Ma Hou spoke directly.

"Yang Bai, something bad has happened! Crabs at the crab farm are dying."

"Deaths? How many? Were they quarantined and observed as I requested?"

Yang Bai asked, "Blue crabs are still quite delicate; they are prone to infectious diseases if the environment is not good."

He has already included instructions on how to handle such accidents in the breeding regulations he wrote.

If handled properly, the losses can still be mitigated.

This kind of thing was bound to happen sooner or later.

It is also an essential path for training personnel.

Ma Hou reported.

"Thirteen crabs have been quarantined and observed as required, and none of them have died so far."

"Did these thirteen die suddenly, or did they die gradually?"

Yang Bai then asked.

Ma Hou recalled for a moment.

"The people working inside said they died suddenly. A batch of them died early this morning, but they were fine yesterday."

Yang Bai frowned. "Secretary Ma, go and take a look right away."

He started the motorcycle, with Ma Hou sitting in the back, and headed straight for the crab farm.

We entered the crab farm.

Thirteen dead blue crabs were placed in a bucket. Next to it was another bucket containing residual seawater.

Yang Bai looked at the crab pond, where staff were sprinkling quicklime to disinfect it.

The remaining crabs were all isolated and placed in a temporary crab pond.

"Has the water been changed?"

Ma Hou nodded slightly.

"Yes, it's been changed."

Yang Bai took a dead crab out of the bucket, opened the shell and immediately realized something was wrong.

Normally, when a mud crab is infected with bacteria, its gill filaments will stick together, clump together and turn black, the crevices will be filled with pus, and it may also cause local ulceration.

The crab in front of me was just grayish-black, with normal gill filaments and no pus or perforations.

He brought it to his nose and smelled it; a faint but noticeable pesticide odor filled his nostrils.

Yang Bai was now quite certain that someone had deliberately drugged him.

He put the crab down. "Secretary Ma, come with me outside."

The two arrived at a deserted beach.

Yang Bai spoke in a low voice, speaking frankly.

"It's not germs, someone deliberately poisoned it."

Ma Hou was suddenly startled, and he clenched his fists slightly.

"Xiao Yang, are you sure?"

Yang Bai raised an eyebrow.

"You don't believe me? Then you can take the remaining crab carcasses and seawater to the county town for identification."

Ma Hou waved his hands repeatedly, his eyes blazing with anger.

"Xiao Yang, I just don't believe anyone would dare to mess with me."

I want to see which fool dares to cause trouble. I'll have someone investigate right away!

"If they find out, I'll show them what I'm capable of!"

He had poured a lot of effort into this farm, and he couldn't imagine who in the village would dare to poison it.

If he catches him, Ma Hou will make him wet his pants just thinking about what happened today!

Yang Bai shook his head.

"Secretary Ma, this matter is still minor. We should report it to the commune honestly. If we make a big fuss about arresting people, we risk alerting them."

"We're still reporting it as an infectious disease, and the disinfection and isolation work at the venue continues."

"Based on observations by several trusted individuals, I suspect he's just testing the waters this time, but he'll definitely do it again next time."

Ma Hou adjusted his glasses and slapped his thigh.

"Xiao Yang, you're really sharp. I'll send people to stake out the place right away. You suspect something's going on inside the operation? Then I'll use the village's trusted militia!"

Yang Bai nodded with a smile.

"I'm going to Quanzhou these next few days, so I'm handing the crab farm over to Secretary Ma."
