Chapter 15 Secret Transferring Plan
After departing from the park's management office, Hu Shijun settled into the confines of the car and found himself unable to contain his excitement any longer.
Overwhelmed with disbelief, he turned to his companion and bellowed,
"Brother Yong, please, pinch me with all your might. Confirm that what we've experienced is not just a figment of my imagination."
A broad smile illuminated Liu Yong's face as he responded gleefully to Hu Shijun's exclamation.
"My dear friend, we are not dreaming,"
He reassured him.
"The total of our reward is indeed 100,000 yuan. It is an incredible achievement that we should bask in the glory of our success."
Hu Shijun's eyes glistened with joy as he clutched the stack of money tightly in his hand, relishing in the weight and feel of it.
Despite his financial hardships, he could not help but giggle uncontrollably in disbelief at his newfound wealth. It was a momentous occasion, as he had never possessed such much money.
His heart swelled with pride and gratitude for the opportunity to earn such a reward, which would undoubtedly change his life.
One hundred thousand yuan!
A thick bundle!!
After basking in the euphoria of their success for quite some time, Hu Shijun's excitement gradually subsided, and he turned to his companion with a practical question.
"Brother Yong," he inquired eagerly, "now that we have the 100,000 yuan, how should we divide it between us?"
Liu Yong's response was swift and decisive, without a hint of hesitation. He replied to Hu Shijun's inquiry with unbridled confidence,
"It's only fair that we divide the reward equally, with each of us receiving half of the 100,000 yuan."
"half each?"
Hu Shijun's face lit up with delight upon hearing Liu Yong's response as he realized he would receive a sum of 50,000 yuan, undoubtedly improving his financial situation.
He felt gratified and compelled to express his appreciation to Liu Yong.
"I am grateful for your generosity, Brother Yong,"
He exclaimed.
"Although I know I did not contribute as much as you did, please allow me to repay you with a portion of my share. I suggest dividing the sum between us in a 60-40 split, with you receiving the larger portion."
Given their recent windfall, Hu Shijun acknowledged their combined net worth of several million yuan. Therefore, he recognized that tens of thousands of yuan were relatively insignificant and not worth quarreling over.
Liu Yong insisted:
"Don't be polite to me, come on, I'll give you the 50,000 yuan."
After unwrapping the bundle of cash, Liu Yong picked out 50,000 yuan and handed it over to Hu Shijun with a warm smile. The crisp notes rustled in Hu Shijun's hand as he gazed at them in wonder, feeling a sense of overwhelming gratitude towards his friend.
"This This This ..."
Hu Shijun was about to say something, but before he could utter a word, Liu Yong cut in, preventing him from declining the offer.
"Don't worry about what others might think," he reassured his friend.
"You take the 50,000 yuan, and if you still feel like you owe me something, we can easily resolve that by going to dinner later. It will be your treat, and we can enjoy a good meal while celebrating our success."
"Okay, then I won't be polite. Let's go to Liu Ji Seafood Restaurant and have a meal of fresh seafood to satisfy our appetite."
Liu Yong's decision to give Hu Shijun 50,000 yuan had primarily driven by a sense of gratitude and the desire to repay a long-standing favor.
When Liu Yong was at his lowest point, struggling to make ends meet, Hu Shijun lent him 2,000 yuan - the only money he had.
The two left, but Ink Lake Park had almost exploded, and the news was like a gust of wind.
"I heard that the big crocodile released a few days ago had been caught."
"This is great!"
"We can go to the lake again."
"Our family's old Li likes to go fishing by the lake the most. The past two days have suffocated him. I need to call him and tell him."
"Mom, I'm going to go boating in the lake. Why don't you take me there?"
As word of their successful project spread, the once-quiet lakeside suddenly came alive with activity. Over the past two days, there had been relatively few people around. But as news of the accomplishment began circulating, more and more people flocked to the area.
The reporter of Huahai TV station was also very well informed and immediately drove over in an interview car. The incident got reported on the prime-time news report of Huahai TV station that night.
Liu Yong was lying on the bed.
No need to go to work. Leisurely, it is a fairy-like day.
He woke up from a nap just now, didn't get up quickly, and looked at the phone for a while.
Liu Lan, the younger sister who has recently started her academic journey as a freshman at Huahai University, reached out to her elder sibling, initiating a conversation on the social media platform WeChat.
The two siblings engaged in a friendly exchange through this digital communication channel.
Summer vacation is coming soon, and Liu Lan proposed to use the summer vacation to work and study to earn some living expenses.
Liu Yong felt distressed for a while.
A first-year female student is preparing to take on a job as a waiter in a restaurant, while many other young women of her age may currently be indulging in a leisurely and rejuvenating vacation.
Liu Yong expressed his disapproval of her decision to work as a waiter and instead transferred 2,000 yuan to her, advising her to use the money at her discretion and to feel at ease because she now has additional financial resources.
The sum of two thousand yuan may last for a considerable period for Liu Lan, who has accustomed to a thrifty lifestyle. Liu Yan wanted to avoid transferring more money, likely because he was still determining how long the funds would need to last or to avoid burdening his sibling with managing a sum.
As for yesterday, I also transferred an amount of 10,000 yuan to Liu Hongfu's bank account. However, I refrained from depositing more sums, fearing that my father may become suspicious or overly concerned about the source of the funds.
To be more precise, Liu Hongfu is the biological father of the body that Liu Yong currently inhabits. Since Liu Yong has transmigrated into this reality, Liu Hongfu is also considered his father in this new context.
Liu Lan is his sister.
After conversing with Liu Lan for some time and completing the transfer of 2,000 yuan, Liu Yong found his thoughts again drawn to the snapping turtle.
It can no longer be called a "little snapping turtle" because it has grown to over 100 catties.
To be more precise, the snapping turtle has now grown to a weight of 52.6 kilograms, a size considered monstrous by Ink Lake standards. Suppose the turtle was to be seen by tourists. In that case, some individuals may be startled or even frightened by its appearance.
After multiple consecutive days of searching, no valuable items or noteworthy discoveries were in the lake. It is plausible that the snapping turtle may have already departed from the area, signaling that it is time for the search party to conclude their efforts and move on to other endeavors.
While traveling to the sea may be an ideal option, Liu Yong still determines the course of action he should take and feels a need to explore other possibilities.
Shortly, Liu Yong embarked on a journey, possibly in his vehicle, to begin the task of assisting the snapping turtle in finding a new habitat.
When asked about his destination, Liu Yong shared that he had previously explored the seaside and had a general idea of what to do there. However, to find a new home for the snapping turtle, he planned to head to the mouth of the Qingjiang River.
The Qingjiang River is a well-known river in the Yan State, stretching for thousands of kilometers and ultimately flowing into the sea in Huahai City.
Liu Yong's plan for the snapping turtle is straightforward and well-defined. He intends to release the turtle into the sea at the mouth of the Qingjiang River and observe its ability to adapt to the new environment. If the turtle couldn't adapt to the seawater environment, Liu Yong could easily transport it back to the Qingjiang River.
Upon reaching the estuary of the Qingjiang River, Liu Yong found himself at a location where the expansive river flowed into the sea. The river's width at this point was several kilometers, indicating the immense volume of water flowing into the sea.
Standing near the wide estuary, Liu Yong gazed into the distance and could see that the river flowed directly into the open sea.
"This place is great!"
Liu Yong was satisfied and quickly found a suitable place.
The location that Liu Yong has arrived at appears to be a remote area along the seaside, accessible by car. This area may be less frequented by tourists and visitors, offering a more secluded and less disturbed environment for the snapping turtle to survive.
It is an important consideration, as a quieter environment could potentially reduce stress and anxiety for the turtle, allowing it to adjust to its new surroundings. The ability to drive directly to the location is also an advantage. It allows for easy transportation of the turtle and other equipment needed to facilitate the release process.
Liu Yong's plan for the snapping turtle involves first releasing it into the sea at this location, where it can attempt to adapt to the saltwater environment.
However, suppose the turtle struggles to adapt. In that case, Liu Yong intends to allow it to swim back toward the Qingjiang estuary, which is not far away. It would let the turtle return to a familiar freshwater environment, where it may feel more comfortable and at ease.
The proximity of the Qingjiang estuary to the release location is an advantage, as it provides a potential safety net for the turtle, ensuring that it has a familiar environment to return to if necessary.
As Liu Yong stood on the beach, he carefully observed the area and monitored the movements of the snapping turtle. He stayed for a significant period, watching and waiting with bated breath, hoping the turtle would successfully adapt to its new surroundings.
While on the beach, Liu Yong prayed multiple times in his heart, fervently hoping that the snapping turtle could acclimate to the saltwater environment and thrive in the vast sea.
After leaving the beach, Liu Yong began to drive to the next step of his plan. He knew that the giant snapping turtle would require careful handling and transportation, so he emptied the trunk of his off-road vehicle to make it easier to load the creature.
He was determined to do whatever it took to ensure the turtle's safety and well-being during the journey. Despite feeling emotionally drained, Liu Yong's sense of responsibility and commitment to the snapping turtle did not waver.
He worked tirelessly, making all the necessary arrangements for the next phase of the operation, determined to see it through to a successful conclusion.
While an off-road vehicle like the big G may seem like an appropriate means of transport for a snapping turtle, Liu Yong knew that he needed to take extra precautions to ensure the turtle's safety and well-being during the journey.
Putting the creature in the trunk could potentially harm or stress it. It has likely made additional arrangements to protect the snapping turtle and make it as comfortable as possible during transport.
It was still early, and Liu Yong planned to act at night because there were relatively few people in Ink Lake Park.
So, patiently waiting for the dark.
Ink Lake Park.
.........
After the crocodile's disappearance, the safety of the lake got restored. As a result, the number of people visiting the lake gradually increased. Some people were calmly fishing, relaxing on chairs to cool off, and strolling along the lake. The scene had become quite lively.
A massive snapping turtle could leisurely swim in the lake, moving as it searched for its next meal. Whenever the creature spotted some tasty fish or shrimp, it would swiftly snatch it up and enjoy its catch. Despite its massive size, the snapping turtle moves effortlessly through the water, its long limbs propelling it forward with surprising speed.
As the evening approached, the snapping turtle seemed to become more active, perhaps sensing it was time to move on to a new environment.
The giant snapping turtle weighing more than 100 kilograms, looks relatively large. If you can observe, you will find that it looks like a dragon in armor.
The turtle's carapace is remarkably massive, much larger than the size of a millstone, and the bony outgrowths on the carapace resemble towering hills in shape and size.
The limbs and claws are bold and powerful, the claw tips are abnormally sharp, and the mouth is relatively large, full of sharp teeth.
It is now the veritable overlord of Ink Lake.
"Ink Lake feels smaller and smaller. The owner said that he would help me change a place. I am looking forward to it!"
The sky was gradually getting dark, and the bustling Ink Lake Park became much quieter, especially since not even one-tenth of the people were by the lake during the day.
A **** G drove in from the park gate with an obvious goal, heading directly towards the lake.
It was Liu Yong who drove the car. It is around 8:00 pm when the lights are on, and a few tourists are in the park.
It is the best time to transfer snapping turtle
