187 It Is Very Puzzling (1/2)
The ability to harvest two ghost hair jellyfish in an hour was simply unimaginable before. Of course, this was partly due to the chain factor and the surge in voltage.
Once again in the icy caverns of the sea, the electric eel, like the king of the sea, was ready to use its weapon to strengthen his majesty. In the distance, five hundred meters ahead, a scorpion fish, 15 meters long, with a straight red line on its back, was stuck to a slightly smaller scorpion fish. The organ in its abdomen was surging continuously.
In the long evolution of nature's survival of the fittest, in order to perpetuate the race, the prelude of the progeny would be played out, adjusting itself via a very interesting activity. The idea of this whole premise was to attract most of the mature creatures to reproduce. And, year after year, all signs showed that they were happy to, and not exhausted by, doing so.
In science reproduction, it's totally different from a mere human pervert. Rather, it's centered scientifically around the genetic quirks of nature that are imprinted on biology.
Let's just imagine that, if the prelude of the progeny is very boring, then there is a possibility of 99 percent of the reproductive species becoming extinct. So, when the electric eel had moved to their side two hundred meters, the two scorpion fish were still there sticking to each other, oblivious to the catastrophe.
Boom...
The electric eel, with a smile, at a voltage of up to eight kilovolts, was swept over 500 meters in a fraction of a second. With a boom, the two scorpion fish were like they had just had a spasmodic acupuncture session, as the muscles of their bodies were endlessly shaking.
We can think about the scene in our heads, imagining that, when two people are doing this kind of thing, and they then suddenly feel someone shooting them with a stun gun. The electric eel, without any guilt of disturbing their business, swam past the two scorpion fish on route to finding the trail of the ghost hair jellyfish.
Luckily, it is easier to find a creature in a cave than in the ocean, and seven hours later, the electric eel had caught 18 of the ghost hair jellyfish. One of the largest caught, had an umbrella body that spanned twenty-three meters, the smallest one was nine meters.
When Chen Fan found the cave, he was full of curiosity about it. It supposedly produced so many poisonous creatures, that he knew there must be something special in the cave.
The strange poisonous creatures in the cave were just like the ”pearl of the night” fish in the mountains of Zhongyun city, which only existed in the one deep pool in the whole mountain, maybe even the whole world. Later, when the provincial investigation team came to study these fish, they said that the main reason they were there was that the bottom of the deep pool had a large amount of halogen phosphate ore.
Now, there was nothing special about this cave, but he knew it was seven kilometers wide and deep, and that there was a large number of small fish without eyes that eat microbes present in it. The deeper the water, the more the fish gathered, but the electric eel had not yet been able to reach the bottom of the sea, which was at a depth of six kilometers.
Twenty ghost jellyfish was the amount that Chen Fan felt should be enough to produce a few Taisui, and with almost all the big guys in the caves already killed, he had to let out a sigh, admit momentary defeat, and bring the poison sacs back to Zhongyun.
The ghost hair jellyfish that were piled into the small mountain, Chen Fan decided to just take them all to the caves of the reef, all the while ready to use the solar lamps and power fans to complete the drying process. Obviously, the amount of electricity consumed by so many toxic capsules was a huge amount.
Also to consider was the fact that the batteries in the tower were connected to the power supply, which was not enough for one day's consumption. Still, the electric eel couldn't go around for 24 hours to charge the battery pack, so Chen Fan had to buy two (200-880kw) Cummins diesel generators.
Although the interior space of the cave was enormous, the algae in the lake released enough oxygen for survival. Hence, Chen Fan thought that temporarily transiting the two diesel engines there should not have much of a negative impact on the environment.
After he installed more than a dozen powerful lights and electric fans, Chen Fan wrapped the scattered dollar in plastic film slowly, letting the electric eel swim back to the dock, then putting them in the 30 meters long ”submarine”.
The banknotes given by the French man were all old banknotes. Chen Fan randomly downloaded dozens of photos of foreigners from the Internet, then found a fake certificate dealer to make identification certificates for sixty different countries. Anyone that was a little observant could tell they were fake.
After equipping the vessel with big sunglasses, big hats and high collars, he used the electric eels to take him to Lianyun harbor, Tianhai, Ningbo and so on. He went to these coastal cities and registered 60 offshore accounts via the Virgin Islands.
Identification was not necessary to register an offshore company before, but in recent years, International banks had started to register their accounts with the offshore companies, so they now needed a ”corporate architecture certificate”, which was provided by the Virgin Islands. The Virgin Islands turned a blind eye, as long as they those applying didn't have the wrong format certificate.
Although it sounds ridiculous, it is indeed a real thing. If you don't have these hidden identity conveniences provided by the government, no one would be idiotic enough to attempt to go to a country where you had to take a magnifying glass to find it on the map, at least not to register a company. In fact, without these offshore companies, the small governments would have to drink porridge every day and watch black and white television!
The accounts he opened were all through the Swiss international bank. Chen Fan, just to be safe, saved cash in the local branch of Switzerland, and in the Marshall, Seychelles and Virgin Islands, etc., as these places relied mainly on offshore company's taxes for their economies.
After six or seven days, all the steps were completed, and Chen Fan played the transfer game on the computer. His previous accounts had a minimum deposit of $10,000 each, which he did not write off. Calculated at the current 60, there were many accounts to undertake irregular transfers.
”Damn, I'm tired!” Chen Fan exclaimed, doubled over on the computer table. Dozens of electronic keys, according to the number, repeated: unplug, plug, unplug, plug, the brain is about to blow up...
......
After several days of hard work, Chen Fan got up lazily after having slept since the previous afternoon. Today, Ma Rongtao's daughter had celebrated her birthday and invited her classmates for dinner, so Yunmeng left Chen Fan at home.
”Hello, delivery service?” Chen Fan rubbed his hungry belly and dialed the number of a fast-food restaurant nearby.
”Sorry Sir, but today the boss and his family went back to their hometown, and they will only come back tomorrow. So... ”
”Oh, I see!” He hung up the phone and dialed Wu Ruoyu's phone, to see if she would go to her little cousin's birthday at noon. If not, he thought that he would go to her house for a meal.
Unfortunately, it seemed that everyone had deserted him today, as even though the phone rang for a long time, nobody answered. Shaking his head, Chen Fan simply put his hands in his pockets and went out to the restaurant in front of the garden.
Before he had gone two steps, Chen Fan's eyes lit up. He then took two steps toward a young girl in a brown coat, blocking her way. The beauty of this teenage girl had the ability to make adolescent males directly transform into a ”god beast”, as even her sullen cheeks seemed to be so soothing.
”Hey, I don't have a meal planned for lunch today. Why don't I come over to your place?” Chen Fan smiled and stared at her cheek.
”Too late, I have already eaten, so you go to the cafeteria to eat!” Wu Ruoyu said in a bad manner.
”In a bad mood? Tell me what happened.” Chen Fan reeled in his groping mode and stroked his chin.
”Who is angry with you? How dare anyone be angry with boss Chen?” She stamped her foot and gave him a push, ”Get out of the way, I want to go home!”
”Is it your menstruation time?” Chen Fan was a little confused, as he did not stand her up recently! Why didn't she pick up the call just now, and why was she in such a bad mood?
He asked, ”Who made you angry?”
”Of course you, heartless bastard!” Wu Ruoyu threw a glare at Chen Fan, who was blocking her as she tried to go. Giving up, she just turned around and went back.
”Hey, even when the ancient emperor wants to chop off a head, he still needs to find a suitable excuse!” Chen Fan came up to her and said, then asked, ”Since when am I heartless? At least let me know the reason!”
Wu Ruoyu was frowning and speechless, she walked back and forth.
”Damn, you make me really confused...” Chen Fan came up again, with a shy face.
Yet Wu Ruoyu still ignored him!
The relationship between men and women is a very large subject, which can extend to many branches. There are all kinds of rules, even if you are old, many of which you may not be able to understand.
In general, such as with Chen Fan and Wu Ruoyu, who had no physical relationship, it is not easy to ease bad feelings, unlike couples that have had a physical relationship, who only need to be shameless and hug, or have comfortable sex to make up.
It was these types annoying contradictions that immediately set someone off. Therefore, Chen Fan, who was originally in good mood, was now feeling underserved.
”Then I'll go!” Chen Fan's expression suddenly became cold, as he dropped this sentence and lifted his foot and left with no hesitation at all.
He was just inexplicably angered, and couldn't bear it, unable to soothe his girlfriend.
”Woman... [inexplicable], is definitely the word used to describe you all!” Sitting in the dining room, Chen Fan, looked out the window of passers-by, shaking his head.
Ring...
Just then, the phone in his pocket began to ring, interrupting. He took out his phone to see that, unexpectedly, it was Wu Ruoyu's number...
”Shit, sure inexplicable enough!” Chen Fan's brain was not able to respond for a while. He had planned to ask her out in two days. Only twenty minutes had passed, and she had called. With a snort, Chen Fan finally felt a little proud.
”Where are you?” The voice of Wu Ruoyu was low and sour.
”In heaven!” Chen Fan answered in a bad mood still.
”What is your relationship with Yunmeng? Yesterday afternoon, I saw both of you in the yard playing with Xiao Xue, and you kissed her... ” The voice of Wu Ruoyu was very jealous, and the sourness in her tone was enough to make people lose their teeth.
Chapter 187 The Howls from the Bottom of the Cliff
Chen Fan gaped, as he stood transfixed on the ground, the phone in his hands. The saliva in his mouth gradually dried up. ”It's ruined!” He obviously knew the reason why Wu Rouyu had flipped out.
He was going around in circles in his head. Chen Fan pretended like he was a little unhappy, then he said, ”Can't you see that we have nothing going on?”
”I cannot see it at all! I can't believe that you could resist the urge and do nothing, when such a beautiful girl is staying at your house,” said Wu Ruoyu bitterly. ”Plus, what kind of brother are you? You immediately kissed her on the cheek, when you caught her in your arms. I bet you even had other nasty ideas in your head!”
”You're driving me crazy. Can you stop acting as if you can't see the forests for the trees?”
”What… What…” Wu Ruoyu was stunned. His statement obviously meant that he thought that she was merely focused on the minor details, while neglecting the major issues!
”All I know is that your plot is an open secret!” Wu Ruoyu clenched her jaw on the other end of the phone line, as she spit out the words.
”Take it as you like. I'm going to eat!” Chen Fan's head was a mess. He did not even have the courage to address the issue directly.
”Where are you? I want to go, too!” she demanded to know.
”The food has already been served. I'll look for you, once I'm done with my meal,” said Chen Fan, while he gestured for the waiter to leave the dishes on the table.
Wouldn't it be disastrous to invite her to join me for a meal? I should really take this opportunity to figure out a solution, so that I can be done with this matter as soon as possible!
He had only taken a few bites of the rice, before all of the dishes in front of him had already turned cold. Chen Fan then stood up and paid the bill.
”Hey, is this Jiang Shui? Give me a call in 20 minutes. Just say that there is an emergency that I have to attend to immediately,” said Chen Fan on the phone, while making his way home.
”Alright, boss. I'll definitely get the job done!”
As an ambitious and noble man, who had long left his old vulgar habits behind, he should have the confidence to guide his girlfriend or wife. However, looking at the current situation, Chen Fan believed that he had no other option but to simply avoid the problem altogether.
He returned to the housing estate after about five minutes. Meanwhile, Wu Ruoyu sat on the bench under the Chinese parasol tree, looking depressed. Upon seeing Chen Fan, she did not even greet him with her usual gentle gaze, like a girlfriend should.
After opening the front door of his house, the two of them entered, then sat down on the sofa. Chen Fan nudged her with his arm, asking, ”Can you put yourself in a better mood, please?”
”Don't you dare try to change the topic. Let me ask you, between Yun Meng and me, who do you actually like better? I will not allow you to have two girlfriends at the same time!”
Wu Ruoyu's dark-colored jacket really brought out the reddish hue of her fair skin. She glared at him, then averted her gaze immediately. Unfortunately, her action, which was supposed to be a sign of protest, looked more like she was making eyes at him instead, especially since she was such a beautiful maiden!
Dang! I should have told Jiang Shui to call me after only 10 minutes!
Although Chen Fan did feel remorseful, he still stubbornly said, ”This isn't an issue about who I like better, as these are two completely unrelated events, yet you insist on comparing apples to oranges! No doubt, I did kiss her on the cheek, but that does not mean that we have something going on between us! This is just a harmless act of affection, okay? Look at foreigners! They hug and kiss each other on the cheek in greetings all the time!”
Wu Ruoyu understood his intentions. At that very moment, her heart was filled with anger.
