When Zhai Heng heard that, she was worried about selling these things in the crates; he could not help but laugh. He patted her on the back and said jovially, "You are worried about the wrong thing. These crates are easy to auction off. I know someone from the auction hall where my brother often goes. If you trust me, then I can take these crates to the auction hall and sell them for you. Just give me a day...these things are all valuable, and I can always sell them off for a good sum of money."

For Zhai Heng, this was a small matter. After all, he had the resources in his hands. Selling the goods in the crates was not a difficult task.

Han Ruochen’s eyes lit up when she heard Zhai Heng’s suggestion, but then she thought about the meeting he needed to attend tomorrow and frowned. "Will that be alright? You need to focus on the meeting that is arranged for tomorrow. How can I ask you to send these things to the auction house?" If she did such a thing, then she would be using Zhai Heng’s kindness for no reason.

"There is no problem." Zhai Heng shrugged casually. He did not think that there was a big problem as he had everything arranged. "The hotel where I have arranged the meeting is near the auction house. If you don’t mind, then I will drop these things off at the auction house in the evening and then arrange them to be sold off in the auction at night. As for the money, you can collect it by afternoon at twelve tomorrow. My meeting is at one, so I can take some time off for you."

After he finished speaking, Zhai Heng felt quite smug. Like he had arranged everything properly.

When Han Ruochen heard his suggestion, she could not help but feel that the man had indeed arranged things accordingly. As long as her request did not interfere with Zhai Heng’s meeting, Han Ruochen thought that it was alright. She nodded and agreed with Zhai Heng’s suggestion.

Tong Zhaodi noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two of them and did not say anything. She wondered whether Han Ruochen even knew what kind of feeling Zhai Heng had for her. No, more importantly, did Zhai Heng himself know what kind of feelings he had for Han Ruochen? Given the innocent expression on his face, Tong Zhaodi had a feeling that the man had no idea that what he felt for Han Ruochen was not something a big brother would feel for his sister.

Well, it doesn’t matter. Let nature take its course, thought Tong Zhaodi as she had no intention of telling the truth to Zhai Heng and helping him. In her eyes, even if Zhai Heng was good, he was too impulsive. Han Ruochen, on the other hand, was too steady and calm. She needed someone to match her energy. While Han Ruochen pretended that nothing was wrong with her, Tong Zhaodi knew that underneath, there was a kind of sadness and unresolved anger that Han Ruochen carried within her.

Something that Zhai Heng could not help her with.

Han Ruochen had no idea that the woman behind her was having so many thoughts at once; she was completely focused on steering the boat back to the docks. However, this time around, as soon as she arrived at the docks, she sensed that something was amiss. The men on the docks who used to ignore her, were now looking inside her boat with the same curious looks in their eyes.

Han Ruochen: "..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She was speechless when she saw the actions of these men and turned to look at Zhai Heng, "Can you take these crates away without disclosing the contents?" Han Ruochen had nothing against showing off what she had caught, but she did not want to make herself a target. If her mother found out that she had found goods worth around two million yuan, that might raise the roof of their house to the sky.

After all, two million yuan could help her sweetheart turn the tide around.

Han Ruochen sneered just at the thought of letting Master Yun have an easy time. She would rather chuck these things back into the sea than let Yun Xinye have a share of them.

"No problem," Zhai Heng nodded. For him, this matter was as simple as snapping his fingers. He ushered his driver to help him with the crates, and the two of them took away most of the crates before the men could even take a look at what was inside them.

When the men saw that the crates had left the docks without them getting a chance to see what was inside them, they could not help but turn a little annoyed. What was the meaning of this? Why was Han Ruochen acting as if there was some big treasure inside those crates? Or maybe there was? No wonder the woman was hiding these crates from them.

Brother Wang was the one who was most furious. He turned to glare at Han Ruochen and said, "What is the meaning of this? If you caught something good, you should help your fellow villagers, but instead of helping us, you are actually hiding your hunt from us. What is wrong with you, Han Ruochen?"

When Han Ruochen heard his response, she was so amused that she could not help but laugh. "Brother Wang, what are you saying? We all belong to the same village. Sometimes, some fishermen catch more fish than others. Does it mean they need to tell their fishing spot to those who don’t catch as much prey as them? If that happens, then what will happen to others?"

She coldly smiled at the man and added, "Its true that we are from the same village but we are also looking for a way to survive if we hand over our life earning resources so eagerly, what will happen to rest of us?"
