Ye Yaopeng certainly did not think it was unrelated.
"How is it unrelated? It hasn't been delivered yet, but they paid a deposit, so it's under their name. Something happened to them before they even got the boat. That means it's unlucky. A-Guang, go back and tell your dad. Let him think it over too. He's older and knows more."
