The storm front arrived even faster than expected. Fortunately, everyone was experienced, and they had left ample room in their plans.
By the time night had fully fallen, the reef flat was already close at hand.
"Captain, we've received a distress signal!"
A sailor suddenly reported the news.
"A distress signal?"
Captain Li was somewhat surprised. In weather like this, was there actually someone else at sea besides them? There was no need to risk so much just for fishing, and he had not heard of any family being poor enough to be on the verge of starvation...
"It's Uncle Cai's boat!"
After hearing the sailor's follow-up report, Captain Li became even more puzzled. Uncle Cai Wenji's family was not in any financial difficulty, nor were they the sort to be so greedy.
They only had a small fishing boat. Going out to sea in weather like this... Were they trying to get themselves killed?
Thinking of Boss Fang, Captain Li could not help wondering whether someone else had rented a boat to go fishing and had offered an equally outrageous amount of money.
Fishing at sea during a typhoon...
Did wealthy people these days all have such bizarre hobbies?
Shaking his head, Boss Li turned to look for the Tiga Clone.
Normally, if they encountered someone asking for help at sea—especially someone they knew—they would certainly lend a hand if they could. No one could guarantee that they would never meet with an accident in the future.
However, Boss Fang was the one who had chartered the boat now...
Boss Fang had paid generously, but the penalty for breaking the contract was equally steep. Thus, whether they should alter course to shelter from the storm had to be decided by Boss Fang. Captain Li could only make a suggestion.
