My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 206 The Bully Wants to Buy the Fish Rafts

"Let's try that place again tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we'll just accept it!" Zhou Miao made his decision.

The champion's prize money is 500,000, and he can get 350,000, which is indeed very attractive.

But if he doesn't get it, he won't be too disappointed.

After all, he still has a lot of treasures at home, and he also has a system.

Making a lot of money is difficult, but making several hundred thousand is relatively easy.

"Okay, let's try again tomorrow." Yu Muzhou nodded. At present, only by going there can he reliably get first place.

After discussing it, Zhou Miao drove back, intending to find out about the family of the shipwreck owner that night from Luo Hao.

Back at the fish raft dock, he saw a dilapidated small boat moored on the shore, so he boarded the boat to go and take a look at the fish raft.

When the weather is nice, he usually lives on a fish raft, so Lu Xingyu and the others would leave a small boat on the shore around dusk.

Even before reaching the fish raft, Zhou Miao could tell from afar that his own fish raft seemed quite lively today.

Led by Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu, Lu Xiaoxiao and Luo Qianqian stood behind them, seemingly in a "standoff" with the three strangers.

Hearing the small boat approaching, both groups of people turned to look at Zhou Miao.

Lu Xingyu and the others showed joy on their faces because they knew that Zhou Miao had a good relationship with Yu Muzhou and could easily solve many problems in Nanzhen.

Meanwhile, the other group, especially the middle-aged man in his forties who was in charge, slowly lost their arrogant demeanor.

Luo Zhiyong was aware of the relationship between Zhou Miao and Yu Muzhou, since they both ran fish rafts in the area and he occasionally saw them interacting.

But the business of Xuan Gui Fish Raft really made him envious, especially after he learned that Ting Tao Fish Raft had joined them and turned into a food stall. He immediately became interested in the fish raft and saw an opportunity to grow and expand.

Luo Zhiyong considered imitating Zhou Miao and took the opportunity to develop and expand his business according to Zhou Miao's model.

But his family didn't have that much money; in fact, none of them had a knack for business.

His family was originally the first household in the village to have ten thousand yuan, but his father eventually squandered almost all of it.

He got involved in the underworld because his family was rich and he enjoyed being fawned over.

His once-prosperous family quickly declined after the millennium, leaving him now forty years old and only able to run a small fishing raft in his hometown.

But after so many years, he has accumulated quite a few connections.

Therefore, he still had some reason to be arrogant when dealing with ordinary people, let alone outsiders like Zhou Miao.

If it weren't for Yu Muzhou, his visit today wouldn't have been a test, but rather a direct attack, arranging for people to cause trouble.

"What's going on?" Zhou Miao asked in confusion after arriving at the fish raft.

"Ah Miao, this is someone from my village. He also runs a fish raft here. He's here today to buy our fish raft." Luo Hao quickly stepped forward to introduce the person, while giving Zhou Miao a few winks with his back to Luo Zhiyong.

"Sorry, our fish rafts are not for sale." Zhou Miao knew who Luo Zhiyong was as soon as he saw him.

Isn't he just a bully who blocked the mangrove forest before the typhoon to prevent people from setting up their traps?

If he hadn't been lucky that the typhoon had hit, he would have been imprisoned for at least a week.

"Brother, don't be so absolute. The price is negotiable, I guarantee you won't lose out." Luo Zhiyong showed what he thought was a kind smile.

But after years of navigating the social world, his appearance had changed. Now, he only had a fierce look, and his smile seemed particularly unnatural.

Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao both looked worried. Lu Xingyu secretly took two steps back, preparing to go to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

Only Luo Hao remained calm, because he was a local and therefore knew better about Yu Muzhou's influence.

With him as a backer,

Even if ten more Luo Zhiyongs came, it wouldn't make a difference.

Zhou Miao didn't take him to heart, but he was running a business after all, and it wouldn't be worth it for him if the other party brought people to the fish raft to cause trouble and affect his business.

Putting aside everything else, just having a dozen or so people loitering around the fish rafts from time to time can disrupt customers' fishing.

So Zhou Miao saw that the other party was speaking politely, so he didn't give them a hard time: "I'm sorry, but I really don't plan to sell."

"If you're not selling, then forget it. I wish you good business, boss."

"polite."

After watching the three leave, Luo Hao said with some worry, "Ah Miao, I have a feeling he won't give up so easily. He might be up to something."

"Damn it, just come on, let's see how sharp my cleaver is." Lu Xingyu said fiercely.

"It's not worth it!" Zhou Miao chuckled and patted his shoulder. "If the other party really wanted to cause trouble, they would only use underhanded tricks, not resort to knives like they did more than ten years ago."

"I'm afraid of underhanded tricks!" Luo Qianqian said with a worried expression. "Our business is good, so we suffer big losses when it's affected. Their business is bad, so even if we use the same tricks, we'll still be the ones who suffer."

"Then let's use a trick that will make him suffer a great loss too!" Zhou Miao knew the worries in their hearts. Although he couldn't think of any countermeasures for the time being, he could only appease them for now.

None of the people talking noticed that Lu Xiaoxiao's dark eyes were fixed on the direction Luo Zhiyong had left, as if she were thinking about something.

If Luo Qianqian were to see this, she would definitely recognize that it was exactly the same look in his eyes as when he wanted to kill her.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Ah Hao. Today I happened to see a news report that said in 1992, someone in your village caught 3,000 catties of large yellow croaker and became a millionaire overnight?"

Zhou Miao hadn't forgotten the most important thing today. After calming everyone down, he found an excuse to start with the yellow croaker incident and slowly bring up the matter of the shipwreck owner.

"This has been reported online?" Luo Hao asked in surprise.

Zhou Miao nodded: "I stumbled upon a short report while searching for wild large yellow croaker a while ago, but I didn't pay much attention to it. If Luo Zhiyong hadn't come over today, and I hadn't remembered that he's from your Dongmao Village, I would have forgotten about it long ago."

"What a coincidence! The two people who became millionaires after catching 3,000 catties of yellow croaker were Luo Zhiyong's father and uncle."

"This...this is such a coincidence?" Zhou Miao exclaimed in astonishment.

He was genuinely shocked; he never expected that a casual question would uncover the murderer.

However, the murderer is not hard to find. After all, whoever gets hold of the three thousand catties of yellow croaker is the murderer.

"What a coincidence! I suspect they stole the big yellow croaker from my uncle. Luo Zhiyong looks exactly like his father; many people in the village suspect his father has killed someone."

Luo Qianqian suddenly spoke up from the side, her expression indignant, clearly still angry about what had just happened.

"Your uncle?!" Zhou Miao's shock was even greater. Wasn't this just one coincidence after another?

"Qianqian, how did you know? You weren't even born yet back then, were you?"

Luo Hao smiled and shook his head, explaining, "Don't talk nonsense about Qianqian. I was just born in 1992. My parents used to chat about these things at the dinner table, and we only heard about them from others."

"The main reason is that most people in the village dislike Luo Zhiyong's family, and some people were jealous of them for catching 3,000 catties of yellow croaker, so there are a lot of rumors."

"In the village, as you know, Miao, all the aunts and uncles love to gossip."

"That's true, rumors in the village can easily get exaggerated." Zhou Miao's lips twitched slightly.

This time, all he could say was that the rumor was so convincing, it was almost the truth.

But that's not the point. The point is, how is Uncle Luo Hao's family doing now?
