Although the surveillance footage didn't capture his face, subsequent feedback from the bee and dog attacks indicated that the sneaky individual who had released the crocodile gar into the fish pond, and then got stung by wasps and bitten by dogs, was indeed the bald man.
Suming wouldn't believe it was just the bald man's personal actions and had nothing to do with Zhou Jin, even if you killed him.
The bald man's backer was Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin had already clearly threatened Suming over the phone last ti, and besides, releasing crocodile gar to wreck the fish pond ecology, this kind of 'technical' sneaky move, was not sothing the bald man with his level of intelligence could co up with.
Putting all these incidents together, the mastermind behind them could only be Zhou Jin without a doubt.
Since Zhou Jin had shown his true colors, Suming did not intend to be polite with him. He decided to fight fire with fire, sending the crocodile gar back to the reservoir through the channel to eat Zhou Jin's fish.
These few crocodile gar had a massive appetite, and it would cost a pretty penny to feed them. Suming didn't want to pay that bill.
...
From the sky above, Huating Reservoir looked like the shape of a calabash, divided into two large bodies of water in the east and west, connected by a narrow stretch of water in the middle.
The western body of water, connected to the Yangtze River, was several tis larger than the eastern one and served as the main body of the Huating Reservoir, being an open public water area;
The smaller eastern body of water, on the other hand, was a fish farming area contracted by Zhou Jin, with large nets separating it from both sides.
The eastern sector was divided into a Fry Zone and an Adult Fish Zone. Normally, once the fry had grown for two or three months and reached a slightly larger size, they would be moved from the Fry Zone into the Adult Fish Zone to be raised freely.
This was also why, though Zhou Jin suspected that those fry had fallen into Suming's hands, he couldn't do much about it openly. With a big hole in the fishing net, those fry could have also escaped into the reservoir, and unless he could clean out the entire Huating Reservoir on both sides and confirm there weren't enough fry in the reservoir, he couldn't report a fish theft.
This mammoth project was impossible, not just for a company boss like him, but even the municipal governnt couldn't manage it.
The crocodile gar, swimming through the underwater passage, arrived at the 'calabash' eastern side, at the fishery company's Adult Fish Zone. After roaming around in the water, they discovered a new batch of fry where they had released fry last ti.
It seed that Zhou Jin had restocked the fry. However, this ti, the Fry Zone's security was extrely tight.
The fishing nets under the water surface had all been replaced with high-strength composite materials, and in addition, there were three small motorboats patrolling back and forth on the surrounding water.
A small cruise ship was moored not far away. After suffering a significant loss last ti, Zhou Jin simply moved to the lake with two of his subordinates, living on the 'Chuanhua Zi 008' cruise ship, directing operations day and night.
After the catfish and the crocodile gar passed through the passage, they quickly reported back the situation to Suming.
Suming pondered for a mont. If he sent the crocodile gar to forcefully attack the Fry Zone, with their ferocity, they could certainly bite through the composite material nets given so ti. However, that would definitely cause a commotion and attract the attention of the patrol team on the lake.
"Never mind the fry, go eat the big fish in the reservoir!" Suming made a decisive decision, changing his strategy.
If eating the fry was like cutting off Zhou Jin's future harvest, then eating the fish in the reservoir was like severing Zhou Jin's current harvest.
The several crocodile gar, elated, rushed towards the Adult Fish Zone in the east. Considering their nature and appetite, the reservoir was bound to experience a significant reduction in production within half a year.
After arranging all of this, Suming suddenly found that he seed to have unexpectedly beco idle, with nothing to do.
The pleasure boat business was proceeding in an orderly fashion, and with Mr. Peng and his team in charge, and several cats taking turns as the mascot, there was no need for worry. He could just sit back and earn tens of thousands a month;
In terms of fish farming, the water quality of Shuijun Lake had already reached that of the reservoir. The fish's living environnt was not an issue, and with the three nurses primarily in charge, assisted by Mr. Peng's team, he didn't even have to handle feeding himself. The last batch of feed that cost twenty thousand hadn't been completely sold yet, but the cost had already been recouped, with a little profit made;
The only person who might cause him trouble, Zhou Jin, couldn't stir up any waves for the ti being. The defense around Shuijun Lake was tight, both on land and in the air. Zhou Jin didn't even know that the alligator-sauridae had already defected. There were likely to be no other disturbances any ti soon.
Even if there were any accidents, he always had two bodyguards with him, one overt and one covert. At least one of the wolf-dog brothers would be out in the open, and Er Gouzi was hidden in the shadows, ready to summon a swarm of wasps at any mont.
He had been consuming Monkey Wine and honey from the big jars daily. Plus, by constantly directing and communicating with various animals, and with his "Animal Friend" ability, both his total spiritual power and control were steadily improving every day.
Life was getting a bit too uneventful—spending days wandering around the zoo, then coming back for a long nap, and ordering another batch of feed online.
Not even a week had passed when Suming himself started to feel a bit restless, as life was too leisurely, which was quite unsettling, and he was always looking for sothing to do.
Thus, he pondered taking half a week off to visit the new ho of the bees in the back mountain. The Queen Bee had sent several ssages wanting to see him. Plus, he had promised Ji Xiang, the Haidong Qing from the zoo, that he would take it out for a flight when the chance arose.
However, before Suming could properly prepare, Nangong unexpectedly called him with another big piece of news!
The one in trouble wasn't Suming, but Zhou Jin from the fisheries company!
A major accident had occurred at Huating Reservoir. The owner of the fisheries company, Zhou Jin, had sustained serious injuries and had nearly died!
It's a long story to tell, and it was essentially Zhou Jin's bad luck.
He had been raising fish for many years and was naturally a good swimr. He would often enjoy swimming in the reservoir. The day before yesterday at noon, as usual, he went swimming in the reservoir and was fiercely ramd in the chest by a strange aquatic creature. He spat out blood and imdiately passed out, sinking below the water.
Fortunately, he was not far from a small pleasure boat, and his subordinates rescued him. They promptly called 120 and took him to the hospital.
It was said that Zhou Jin suffered several broken ribs and was still in the hospital for ergency treatnt. Whether he could be saved or not was still unknown.
However, this wasn't the "big incident" that Nangong was talking about!
At the ti Zhou Jin was hit, there happened to be a few people playing by the Huating Reservoir. They recorded the mont the "aquatic creature" struck Zhou Jin with their phones and uploaded it to the internet.
From the video footage, the aquatic creature appeared to have short fins and swam from a distance at high speed toward Zhou Jin.
After hitting Zhou Jin, the creature also leaped out of the water and in a panic, it accidentally crashed its head into the side of the nearby pleasure boat. Its head was imdiately busted open, blood splattered, and it left a dent in the side of the boat.
So people recognized the chubby creature, looking sowhat like a pig, as the Yangtze River dolphin, a national first-class protected animal.
