Chapter 277: 133, the legendary treasure of Qianye Island is actually… _4

“Mm, of course, it’s true, but you can’t fall behind in your studies either.” Zhao Huixian came over and picked up Lin Xiaoxiao, saying, “Come on, let’s go learn English with Grandma.”

Upon hearing her grandmother’s words, the surprise on Lin Xiaoxiao’s face disappeared at a visible speed.

After Zhao Huixian took Lin Xiaoxiao away, Li Jinshan sighed as he looked at the worried Li Jinwen, then went over, gently embraced his daughter, and comforted her, “Honey, trust your husband, he knows how to handle things, he’ll be fine.”

Li Jinwen hugged her father tightly, nodding firmly.

She certainly trusted Lin Mo, her husband.

But knowing what Lin Mo had been through, how could she not worry?

After leaving home, Lin Mo first took Zhang Li to Moon Bay’s biggest diving supplies store, packed up all the items he had ordered the night before, and then headed to the second-hand fishing boat trading center by the sea.

The reason for not buying a new fishing boat was that the process was much more complicated than buying a car, with the qualification approval alone taking many days.

But this was not a problem with second-hand fishing boats.

Not only were the formalities complete, but there was also no need for a transfer of ownership. One could rent the boat by paying a deposit and presenting a boat driving qualification.

Lin Mo wasn’t going to use the boat for many days, so renting was both convenient and cost-effective.

Once everything was settled, Lin Mo, driving the modified fishing boat along with Zhang Li, embarked on the treasure hunting journey.

When Lin Mo initially got the information about the treasure on Qianye Island, he thought he might need it one day, so since then, he had been learning to drive a fishing boat in his spare time and had bought all sorts of necessary certificates on the deep web.

Always be prepared, never go into battle unprepared.

This was the most important habit Lin Mo had acquired during his struggle with Chen Shanhe.

One can’t wait until the last minute to sharpen one’s weapons.

Actually, driving a fishing boat is quite simple, only having three settings: forward, reverse, and stop. By manipulating the throttle, shifting gears, or adjusting the engine revolution, one can get it going.

To turn, one simply adjusts the rudder angle, altering the angle of the rudder to change the direction of the boat.

Of course, if Lin Mo were to attempt complex tasks like casting nets, hauling them in, or determining ocean currents, his current skills and experience would be inadequate.

It’s like with driving a car; being able to drive is one thing, and drifting is another.

But no matter, he wasn’t actually going fishing!

He was just going for a spin in the coastal waters.

Lin Mo only needed to set the GPS navigator and then steer the fishing boat without deviating from the course.

About four or five hours later, with the help of the dockworkers, Lin Mo successfully docked the fishing boat at Qianye Island port, then he and Zhang Li set foot once more on Qianye Island after a short absence.

The off-road vehicle Lin Mo had rented the night before had also been delivered to the port. The two men got in and headed straight for the area where the treasure was located.

The reason they didn’t sail directly there was that the area was currently leased out. Rashly steering a fishing boat into it would be a taboo and could stir up unnecessary trouble.

The off-road vehicle drove smoothly on the scenic Qianye Island.

Lin Mo glanced at Zhang Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and asked faintly, “Don’t you want to know what I’m going to do?”

Since the morning they had left, whatever Lin Mo asked Zhang Li to do, he did, without ever asking a single question from start to finish.

Like a robot following commands, his calmness was surprising to Lin Mo.

“I’m quite curious,” Zhang Li nodded and said, “But, I think if it’s something I need to know, you’ll tell me.”

“As for things I don’t need to know, it doesn’t matter if I’m kept in the dark.”

Although Lin Mo had never been a soldier, he had seen some of the rules in the army on Douyin.

Hearing Zhang Li’s words, Lin Mo teased, “Did you learn that in the army? Ask what you should ask, don’t ask what you shouldn’t?”

“Yeah, there’s some of that,” Zhang Li nodded, then added, “More importantly, I think you’re a good person, a real man who takes responsibility for his family, and I respect you for that.”

“If it were me carrying so much, I would have probably broken down by now.”

“After all, you are Siyu’s brother, helping you with things is like helping her.”

Although Lin Mo had known Zhang Li for a while now, and they practically lived together day and night, their previous interactions weren’t too extensive.

Now that the ice was broken, Lin Mo actually wanted to take this opportunity to talk more with him.

He drove and asked, “What are your thoughts about Lin Siyu?”

When Lin Siyu was mentioned, Zhang Li’s expression turned dim, and he was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Brother, I really like Siyu and want to be with her for the rest of my life.”

Lin Mo nodded and asked, “What if she stays like she is now, for life?”

“Then I’m willing to take care of her for life,” Zhang Li answered decisively, as if he had pondered this question countless times before.

“Good, I understand your feelings,” Lin Mo nodded and said, “Don’t worry, my sister will certainly recover, and as her brother, I’m looking forward to your wedding day.”

Zhang Li responded, “Brother, rest assured, that day won’t be far. Like you, I’ll do everything in my power to give Siyu happiness.”

“That’s all I need to hear,” Lin Mo looked at Zhang Li, his mouth curving into a pleased smile, and he nodded in satisfaction, seemingly seeing in Zhang Li the person he once was when pursuing Li Jinwen, making all sorts of promises.
