Within two days, Li Du found himself wrong about Hans.

In late April, when the weather was as bright as ever, he set out to sea in the morning, and Hans soon harvested more than a dozen black gold abalone.

The weather was getting colder, and they didn't have much time left to harvest. Abalone season was almost over, so they wanted to do more work while the weather was still good.

Once more, after catching the black gold abalone, Li Du saw Hans sitting on the deck watching him.

”Are you ready to rest? Didn't you just have a rest?” he asked.

”No, I'm waiting for you,” said Hans.

”What are you waiting for?” asked Li Du.

He didn't have to take Hans with him to catch the black gold abalone. He could fix the position of the black gold abalone in advance and hang a buoy to mark it.

In this way, the buoy floated on the sea, and Hans only had to follow the line on the buoy to find the black gold abalone.

In this way, the two of them no longer had to go into the water together, and Hans did not have to follow him. This saved a lot of time.

Hans pointed to the driver's cab and said, ”Somebody called us just now. Guess who it was?”

”Sophie or Big Quinn?” asked Li Du casually.

”No, guess again.” Hans smiled coldly.

Suddenly, Li Du guessed the answer. ”The fishing and hunting bureau officer that took our number that day. Is it him?”

Hans nodded heavily. ”Yes, it was them. Can you guess why they called?”

”I can't guess, just say it,” he said.

”There was a problem at a marine monitoring station, and they asked us to help repair it,” said Hans.

Li Du said helplessly, ”That's very interesting. Help for free? But it's no big deal to help.”

Hans said, ”It's not a big deal this time, but what about next time? In the future? We've seen them set up dozens of monitoring stations here!”

”Consider it as being a good person. If you don't like it, you can turn them down,” Li Du said.

Hans shook his head. ”No, we can't refuse them. That's the way it is. It is not a choice. If we don't help, we will be hated, and it will make our lives difficult.”

It was true that the bureau officers were powerful people, and they had courts and police stations to back them up.

If you offended them, even if you were legally harvesting black gold abalone, they still had the means to clean you out, as long as they kept checking on you.

Under Australian law, everyone had to cooperate with the fishing and hunting bureau when they entered the ocean, and on the ocean, the bureau had more authority than the police had on land.

So when the bureau officers checked on you, you had to cooperate every time. Then you would not have the time to go in the water, and you would not be able to harvest black gold abalone. If you didn't cooperate with the inspection, the court would revoke your harvesting permit.

Helping at the maintenance monitoring station was not an easy thing. They had to go and see what was wrong, and had to describe it to the technical staff of the fishing and hunting bureau. The technical staff would give them a way to solve it, and they would need to go back and repair the damage.

Every marine monitoring station had floating panels with solar panels and numbers on it.
