“Wife, are you listening?”

“Mhm, I’m listening…” Li Jinwen’s voice sounded very hesitant, and after a pause, she said, “Husband, 1 think last time it was more about luck, selling antiques is no trivial matter, there are too many fakes on the market.”

“It’s not that 1 don’t trust you, it’s just that 1 feel the risk is a bit high.” 200,000 is no small sum,

and Li Jinwen didn’t feel her husband’s luck could always be that good. Although his wife had put it subtly, Lin Mo naturally understood her intention. It was nothing more than the fear that having tasted the thrill of a lucky find, he might get carried away and end up losing all the money he had earned.

It’s like gambling; you don’t get addicted if you keep losing.

The fear is that once you start winning, after experiencing easy gains, you can never settle down to do some honest work.

It’s commonly called ‘getting carried away.’

“Looks like I need to find a way to reassure my wife and not always leave her anxious.”

After thinking for a bit, Lin Mo said very seriously, “Wife, 1 know what you’re worried about, it’s okay, I have a master helping me out, and also, I promise you, if I make a mistake once, I will never buy antiques again in my life.” “That way you won’t be worried, right?”

Li Jinwen breathed a sigh of relief and answered, “Husband, I don’t distrust you, it’s just a little concern, but since it’s something you’ve set your sights on, go ahead with courage.”

“Okay, let’s not talk about this now, remember to eat lunch.”

“You too, don’t forget to eat at noon.”

“Mhm.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo thought fishing was really a bit boring; the fish weren’t biting all morning, and he was getting hungry, so he opened up a self-heating rice meal, began to heat up the dishes, and prepared to eat.

He had thought Chen Shanhe would leave to find somewhere to eat, but he hadn’t expected the old man to also be of a serious nature, with no intention of leaving at all.

When Lin Mo was ready to start his meal, a middle-aged man in tight sportswear with a buzz cut delivered a packed lunch to him.

Throughout the meal the middle-aged man didn’t leave; he just stood between Lin Mo and Chen Shanhe, his sharp gaze occasionally sweeping over Lin Mo’s face.

Honestly,

it was not a good feeling,

The already troubled Lin Mo, under such scrutiny, felt uncomfortable all over.

It was as if he had committed a crime.

“For the sake of information, I can only endure it.”

After Lin Mo finished eating, he gathered all the trash in a bag, placed it to the side, continued fishing, and tried not to look in Chen Shanhe’s direction. In short, he acted as naturally as possible.

After another half an hour or so, a familiar male voice sounded from behind Lin Mo.

“My benefactor, I’ve finally found you!!!”

The voice belonged to none other than Wang Erbo, who had called Lin Mo earlier.

His voice was loud and robust.

Not only did Lin Mo instinctively turn his head, but the eyes of Chen Shanhe and a few bodyguards nearby also fell on him.

Possibly due to his excitement, Wang Erbo ignored the other people around and walked straight up to Lin Mo, about to kneel again.

“Hey, hey, hey, brother, a man’s knees are precious, you really mustn’t do this,

I can’t accept it.”

Lin Mo quickly supported him again and asked, “Is it that the auction house took your stuff? No worries, just show it to me, and I’ll make a transfer.” “But I definitely can’t offer as much as the auction house. 200,000, can you accept that?”

Lin Mo pretended to reach for his phone.

Chen Shanhe, who had not caught any fish all morning, hearing the commotion, curiously watched the scene unfold.

He had no particular reaction; just watching the excitement.

Wang Erbo hurriedly shook his head to explain, “No, benefactor, they took my bottle and offered me a price of 260,000.”

Took it?

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback, then asked in bewilderment, “Then why are you looking for me…?”

“I have to properly thank you!” Wang Erbo took out a thick red envelope from his black backpack and handed it over, “If 1 hadn’t met you today, my bottle would definitely have been sold for just 100,000.”

“To be honest, my mental price was only 100,000 as well.”

“It was you who helped me earn an extra hundred and fifty thousand or so, this is lifesaving money, I came specifically to thank you.”

Oh,

So that’s what it was.

Through the exchange between Lin Mo and Wang Erbo, Chen Shanhe, who was sitting not far away, had roughly figured out what had happened.

However, he merely sighed inwardly that there were still some good people in society, without any further action.

Having lived to his age and climbed to such a high position, he had seen too many storms, and there was almost nothing that could surprise or move him anymore.

Chen Shanhe withdrew his gaze, indifferently watching the float in the river, waiting for the next fish to bite.

“Brother, I appreciate the gesture, but 1 definitely can’t accept the money,” Lin Mo said.

“No way, my wife also said that this red envelope must be given to you, you are our family’s great benefactor!”

“I really can’t take it, you’re also struggling, so save the money for your child’s medical treatment.”

“Benefactor, if you don’t take it, I’m going to kneel right here and not get up!” As he was speaking, the nearly 180cm tall burly man was preparing to kneel again.

Alright,

Lin Mo knew that it would be inappropriate to refuse any further, so he simply said, “Okay, if you insist, then I’ll accept the money. Now hurry to the hospital to see the child, they can’t do without someone there!”

“Deal, deal, deal!” Wang Erbo passed the red envelope with both hands, his smile growing ever more brilliant.

As he turned to leave, Lin Mo called out, “Right, brother, when you get home, look around again. If you find any other antiques, you can bring them to me, I’ll help you appraise their value, and then you can sell them.”

“Sure! Alright, you go on with your business. I’ll head to the hospital now and someday soon, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

After Wang Erbo had left, Lin Mo weighed the red envelope in his hand, about 20,000 in it, he guessed. He didn’t bother to open it and just put it in his fishing bag next to him.

Although he hadn’t earned over 200,000, the feeling of being sincerely thanked was honestly quite delightful.

Time was slowly passing,

There was still no activity on Lin Mo’s end, the float was as if soldered to the surface of the water, not moving in the slightest.

Meanwhile, Chen Shanhe started to have fish bite intermittently.

“Is it because I haven’t found the right spot on the bottom, so the position of the fishhook is wrong, causing no fish to bite?”

Anyone who has fished knows that once half a day goes by without a catch, one inevitably starts to overthink.

As a novice, Lin Mo was no different,

He thought maybe the bait was the problem, then felt the earthworms weren’t fresh, and at times figured the fishing line was too thick and the fish could see it, hence they didn’t bite.

He watched tutorials on TikTok while adjusting his fishhook on the spot, which ended up in a mess and even less chance of a catch.

He was also lucky he wasn’t there solely for fishing; otherwise, spending over a thousand on gear and not catching a single fish, Lin Mo reckoned he would’ve completely shut himself in.

“I really don’t see the point of fishing. With this free time, I could have made several hundred by hauling goods up flights of stairs.”

Lin Mo, bored out of his mind, decided to check the motionless float to see if the earthworm on the hook was still there.

But to his surprise, he couldn’t pull it up at all.

“Is there a fish?”

Lin Mo instantly perked up and began to gradually increase the force in his hands, but to his growing shock, he found that even using all his strength, bending the fishing rod, he still couldn’t pull up whatever was in the water..
