As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 181 - 166: The Bounty is a Bit High_2
Chapter 181: Chapter 166: The Bounty is a Bit High_2
“Grandpa, you don’t have to do this, I was just protecting myself at the time.” He understood the old man’s excitement, so he could only stand at the door and gently calm him down until he was pacified.
It took quite a while for the old man to calm down, and then he insisted on his granddaughter with reddened eyes to kowtow to Chu Mingcheng, but the girl was already so big, how could he let her do such a thing? He immediately stopped her!
The old man and the girl were still incessantly expressing their gratitude, but eventually, the police thought it wasn’t good to keep standing at the door and suggested they go inside, so the group headed towards the station.
Jiang Luoluo went to give her statement, and Chu Mingcheng accompanied the old man, learning about the specific details from him.
The murderer was apparently even more vicious than he had imagined. The old man’s name was Zhang Tang.
His wife, only son, daughter-in-law, and his three-year-old grandson were all killed, leaving only himself, who had been playing chess at a friend’s home, and his granddaughter, about to enter the fifth grade, who escaped by chance.
Such a heinous criminal was naturally on a nationwide manhunt, with a reward amounting to half a million.
Not only that, but the old man himself also put up an additional half a million in reward money. Therefore, by complete fluke, Chu Mingcheng captured a wanted criminal and was due to receive one million.
Although he was about to receive a large sum of money, he found it difficult to feel happy.

Only the old man and his granddaughter were left to depend on each other in the family.
So when faced with Zhang Tang’s fifty thousand, Chu Mingcheng shook his head and refused, “Grandpa, you should keep this money for your old age!”
“Now that the murderer has been caught, your family members can rest in peace. Your granddaughter will be attending college soon and will need quite a bit of money. It’s best if you keep it for yourselves!”
“If I have already offered this money as a reward, then there’s no reason to take it back. My family is quite well-off, you don’t need to worry about us.”
“…”
Chu Mingcheng was stunned, but after confirming with the police, he learned that this old gentleman’s financial situation was indeed good, and half a million, though a large amount, was just a trifle to him.
Since that was the case, he felt fully justified in accepting the money. It was just unfortunate that he would have to wait a while longer before he could claim the other half a million reward.
Fortunately, the spear gun that was kept in custody yesterday could be taken back today, which would not hinder his plans to go hunting in the sea in a few days.
Zhang Tang, upon seeing the spear gun, asked curiously, “Ah Cheng, did you use this to wound that fugitive yesterday?”
Chu Mingcheng nodded, “Yes, I’m a fisherman. I usually make a living by fishing and learned to hunt in the sea to increase my income because of my good swimming skills.”
“A fisherman?” Zhang Tang was astonished.
He never expected the dashing Chu Mingcheng to be a fisherman, not out of disdain for the profession, but because it was so unexpected.
He then smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you are hardworking and earnest. Remember to bring some good catches to Grandpa for a taste in the future!”
“Sure thing,” Chu Mingcheng nodded repeatedly, looking like he had just gained another wealthy customer!
As for Zhang Tang’s granddaughter Zhang Ling, she stared at the spear gun with big curious eyes.
‘So this is the thing that caught the bad guy.’
She was seventeen this year, a time when her thoughts were most abundant.
Seeing the spear gun suddenly sparked her interest in the sea hunting Chu Mingcheng had talked about.
With college entrance exams just a year away, Xiamen University seemed like a good choice…
Because Zhang Tang had lawyers handling the case, this freed Chu Mingcheng,
which meant he wouldn’t have to come to the station anymore in the future, so he could go fishing without worrying about an unexpected call from the station, forcing him to return in the middle of his fishing.
So, after consulting with Jiang Luoluo, he made a call to Wei Jiaguo, arranging to meet at the dock at nine o’clock the next morning to set off for Far Sea.
At night, he accompanied her to the mall to buy a few sets of clothes, and when they got back home, the two of them began to watch the video comments.
Chu Mingcheng had already set the video to be published automatically at four o’clock in the afternoon, so it had been up for several hours.
“Wow, the fan count has already hit ten thousand?”
He opened the app on his phone for Bilibili, and the first thing he saw was the official backend notification of reaching ten thousand fans.
“Of course!” Jiang Luoluo said matter-of-factly, “Brother Haiwang and Little Qi have quite a few fans. Your collaboration is bound to divert a large number of fans. Take a closer look, I estimate it’s not just over ten thousand.”
Chu Mingcheng did as she suggested and sure enough, the fan count was about to break twenty thousand.
He figured by the time they woke up the next day, there might be another ten to twenty thousand fans, and then they started reading the comments section.
[Desperate Miao]: Holy cow, awesome! I followed the UP when the first video was posted, and after a while, to see a collaboration with Sea King and Little Qi, impressive!
“Looks like collaborating with them has really surprised your fans!” Jiang Luoluo kneeled behind Chu Mingcheng, peeking out from over his shoulder, with half of her body leaning on him.
“Mmm…” The wonderful sensation behind him made his mind wander, and he had no interest in what the fans were saying at this moment.
[Lin Duoduo]:”Ahhh, the UP actually showed his face, and he’s so handsome! (*＾-＾*), by the way, does the UP have a girlfriend? I’m soft and sweet with a baby voice, you know!”
Jiang Luoluo’s eyes widened suddenly, this bitch, daring to snatch her man?
She immediately took out her phone and replied directly to that comment: “See that tall beauty in the video? Slim waist and long legs, that’s the UP’s girlfriend!”
Jiang Luoluo also appeared in the video, but since she was from the dance section, not many people from the food section recognized her, and only a small portion were surprised to see her on screen.
But her revelation caused her own fans to go wild, especially the ones who followed her for her looks, threatening to unfollow her immediately.
Worried, Chu Mingcheng asked, “Luoluo, won’t you lose fans this way?”
“Let them go. True fans will just wish us well,” Jiang Luoluo said indifferently.
Most of those threatening to unfollow were male fans, mainly attracted by her looks.
Since she mainly relied on her dance to attract fans, those who were there for her looks were fickle and ready to unfollow at any time, which really didn’t mean much.
Chu Mingcheng nodded. His girlfriend had gone this far; he had to play along.
So he tagged Jiang Luoluo’s account in the comments section: “This is the UP’s girlfriend. I was captivated by a dance initially, and I welcome everyone to appreciate my girlfriend’s dancing.”
To their surprise, Brother Haiwang immediately commented below just after the comment was posted.
“Wow, this was supposed to be about food, yet you guys are forcing us to eat dog food?”
Jiang Yuqi also joined in the fun: “Sister Luoluo’s dance is so beautiful, I can eat an extra bowl of rice just by watching her dance videos every day!”
Some fans asked, “It’s that good with rice?”
Jiang Yuqi: “It’s a feast for the eyes!”
Chu Mingcheng’s comment, together with Brother Haiwang’s and Jiang Yuqi’s appearances, made the section much livelier than expected.
Because of her revelation, Jiang Luoluo quickly lost twenty thousand fans, but as the heat in Chu Mingcheng’s comment section rose, she gained an extra ten thousand in just an hour, more than the original count.
The views on every video began to climb steadily, an outcome neither of them had anticipated.
