Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 253: Chapter 250: Sharks! Chapter 253: Chapter 250: Sharks! “`

Ouyang Jun wanted to say it was just luck, but he simply couldn’t get the words out. Swallowing his saliva, he cursed, “Damn, are all these fish blind?”

As he cursed, the envy, jealousy, and resentment in his eyes were impossible to hide.

Su Jinyuan and Qin Tian, who had been sitting quietly in the center of the boat, were beginning to lose their patience as well. They exchanged a glance, a hint of restlessness flashing in their eyes.

“Bro, what’s going on? The fish seem to have all swum over to Ningning’s side!”

Su Qingqing was impulsive and became anxious seeing the situation.

“Why don’t we try fishing at the bow of the boat, too?” Bai Yishan suggested.

As two grown men, Su Jinyuan and Qin Tian naturally couldn’t lose face, but Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan cared less about that, grabbing their rods and heading towards the bow without any hesitation, squeezing right next to Huo Sining and Gu Xu.

“Come on, can we even do that?! Switching sides at the last minute, you two really have no shame!”

Ouyang Jun and Song Hui couldn’t help but curse under their breath as they saw Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan changing spots.

But they themselves had not been polite earlier when fighting for a good spot; however, to copy the girls now was something they couldn’t bring themselves to do, so they could only watch with frustration.

Su Qingqing proudly tilted her chin up with a harrumph, casting her fishing line into the water.

Her pride did not last long, as she had thought coming over to Huo Sining’s side would land her some fish. Yet even after more than ten minutes in the water, there was no movement on her rod.

The men at the midsection and stern of the boat were in a similar predicament, but bizarrely enough, Huo Sining and Gu Xu’s bait kept getting bites. Shortly, they had pulled up several more fish onto the deck.

“Fuck, what’s going on here? It’s like seeing a ghost!”

“How is this happening? Why are the fish only biting their hooks?”

“This isn’t scientific, can these maggots really not be more attractive than a few grains of white rice?”

Several of the men, refusing to believe their luck, also picked up their rods and joined Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan at the bow.

Despite their efforts to switch bait and try different techniques, the fish seemed to ignore their hooks, only going after the ones on Huo Sining and Gu Xu’s lines. In just the span of a few minutes, Huo Sining and Gu Xu had reeled in two big cod.

This left everyone dumbfounded, staring at Huo Sining and Gu Xu’s rods with puzzled expressions.

Zheng Huaqing’s gaze fell on the inconspicuous porcelain bowl at Huo Sining’s feet, a playful smile emerging in his eyes as he clapped and laughed, “Interesting, haha, very interesting!”

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they caught on, each of them eyeing the rice balls in Huo Sining’s bowl with envy.

“There’s something fishy about these rice balls!”

Ouyang Jun had seen with his own eyes how Huo Sining had used seemingly unrelated ingredients like alcohol, honey, salt, vinegar, and baking soda to revive his half-dead Flower Monkfish aquarium fish within half an hour.

So he quickly thought of Huo Sining’s phenomenal secret techniques, smacking his thigh and cursing internally, “Fuck, how could I have forgotten about this?!”

The others looked towards Ouyang Jun, who went on to describe the incident a few months back when Huo Sining treated his company’s aquarium fish, enhancing the story with his own embellishments. After hearing this, everyone’s view of Huo Sining changed in an instant.

Huo Sining had mentioned more than once that she had learned some unique fish farming techniques in Bashu, but nobody took it to heart. However, after hearing Ouyang Jun’s words, they realized for the first time that what Huo Sining had talked about—the odd arts—was actually true.

Even Gu Xu’s eyes became deep and dark, his gaze resting on Huo Sining.

He thought back to that stormy night with lightning and thunder when he had risked his life to track down a batch of drugs, only to almost get caught by the drug lords. After barely escaping, he ended up with a bullet in his chest.

In the rain-soaked night, he curled up in an alley, cautiously hiding his figure from the enemy while trying to maintain consciousness and not faint, waiting for rescue during the seemingly endless ordeal. He felt like he could barely hold on any longer, his mind foggy on the verge of passing out.

That was when Huo Sining suddenly appeared and used an ancient, bizarre medical technique that was beyond his comprehension to extract the bullet and heal his gunshot wound. The entire process took no more than an hour, and during the treatment, he didn’t feel any pain or discomfort.

Gu Xu had heard of bizarre arts and even witnessed the special talents recruited by the state’s special departments, but he had never seen skills as incredible as Huo Sining’s.

Healing gunshot wounds and chronic diseases, raising fish and fishing, and even gambling on stones—how many more secrets did this girl harbor?

From initial shock and skepticism to gradual curiosity and admiration, and now to delight and concern, no other person of the opposite sex had ever stirred his emotions this way.

Gu Xu’s gaze followed the young girl intently, his heart filled with peace and determination.

This was the woman he had set his heart on; although she did not belong to him yet, the moment he decided to pursue her, no matter how many secrets she held, he was determined to protect her completely, not allowing those with ulterior motives to covet her.

As Gu Xu was drifting off in thought, the rice balls in Huo Sining’s bowl had been snatched up by everyone, and the fishing rods were placed back into the sea. Soon, exclamations of surprise were heard.

“Wow, there’s a fish on the line!”

“Such a strong pull—I’ve got a fish on my hook too!”

“This is insane, I’ve got a fish here too—just from a lousy rice ball? Does it really have that much appeal?”

“Let out the line a bit, I’ve got a big one here!”

Cheers rose one after another as Huo Sining wasn’t idle either. While maintaining the tension of the fishing line, she firmly held the rod and started reeling in.

However, just as she was reeling in the line to drag her new catch ashore, several silvery figures suddenly emerged from the water not far from the yacht.

The figures were submerged, with only a few triangular fins breaking the surface of the water, swiftly swimming toward the direction of the yacht.

Su Qingqing, with her keen eyes, was the first to spot those silvery fins and couldn’t help but point to the silvery figures, exclaiming, “Look, something is swimming over there!”

Zheng Huaqing looked in the direction of Su Qingqing’s pointing finger, his expression immediately turning serious.

The others exchanged glances, clueless about the situation.

“Big Brother Zheng, what’s the matter?” Ouyang Jun couldn’t help but ask.

Zheng Huaqing’s voice was cool, his tone seeming calm, but the words he spoke caused everyone’s faces to change instantly.

“It looks like sharks!”
