"What's going on? Did you get caught?"
Qian Wenjun shook his head. "It's all sorted! I agreed to pay up! Zhang Yang agreed to cut me some slack!"
"Pay up? How much? Isn't that ridiculous! On our turf, paying him is out of the question!"
Upon hearing the sensitive word "pay up," Xiao Wei's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What else could I do? Before I could use the drugged bait, I was caught. Zhang Yang even filmed the whole process of me adding the drugs with his phone!
Even if the old gang favored me, there's no way they could cover for this incident!
If I don't pay, it'll be mutually destructive. Then, my membership in the Chinese Fishing Association will surely be revoked, and I don't want to leave the competitive scene so soon!"
After finishing his narrative, Xiao Wei fell silent.
Zhang Yang filming the race was a shrewd move. With an airtight evidence chain, there was no way to maneuver anymore.
"That's how it is. I'll head out first, let's meet up later!"
