I Can Turn into a Fish Chapter 187

Translator: Aristophaneso 

The Gulf of Thailand has the world's densest population of sea snakes, and many Thai people made a living catching squid and sea snaked. The government there forbid foreigners from fishing for sea snakes, and did not give out licenses.

Chu Xian was quite desirous of these sea snakes – any random one of them was worth seventy to eighty thousand rmb (A/N: it seems like some of them are expensive, some of them are cheap. I couldn't find the information online, don't take this for a fact). If he caught a thousand snakes he could sell them for a hundred million. This was extremely profitable, and in his long term plan he really was going to take time out to take the mermen and secretly catch some snakes when he had the time.

“Ai, he lost again!” At that moment, Li Long turned to look at his father's stack of chips and shook his head with disappointed.

“In these past couple, he has already lost more than a hundred million!” Li Long sighed.

Chu Xian said nothing. An addiction to gambling could easily clear out a family's fortune; Li Long's family was lucky that they owned a company and could make a hundred million a year, otherwise they could not afford their father's addiction.

 “En? He is following someone upstairs?” At that moment, Li Long shot upwards and lurched forward to stop his father from following a group of people upstairs to the member area.

Li Long shouted, but his father impatiently waved him away and walked upstairs.

Li Long frowned worriedly and sat back down, but he could not keep an anxious expression off his face as he looked at the staircase.

Chu Xian did not start another conversation and sat back and rested.

 “Chu Xian, you were here? What, did you lose all your money?” At that moment, Gu Li, Ma Zhigang, and Director Wang walked over.

“Heihei, you underestimate me!” Chu Xian looked at their empty hands and laughed, pointing with some happiness at his stack beside him.

“F*** me, these chips are worth at least three to four million. Strong, brother Chu Xian, why are you so good!” Director Wang took a look and cried out in surprise.

“I am lucky!” Chu Xian laughed. “What? Do you want to go play somewhere else?”

“Let's rest a little bit first. I lost five hundred thousand in just half an hour, this speed is a little too quick!” Guy Li lay down on the sofa and grabbed a drink.

“Haha, you guys are too rushed!” Ma Zhigang laughed. He had won over two hundred thousand rmb.

“Tsk tsk, if I had known, I would have just stayed with you Chu Xian, maybe I would have also won some!” Gu Li laughed.

“I played Zha Jin Hua and baccarat. Even if you stayed with me it wouldn't have helped!” Chu Xian smiled and replied.

“Haha, at least I could stand by you and give you water, and after you win so much you can give me some ten thousand rmb!” Gu Li joked.

They sat back on the sofa and chatted, and nearby Li Long left in a hurry.

After sitting around for about half an hour, Chu Xian cashed in his chips and they all left the cabin.

But as soon as they walked outside they heard a large splash, as if something had fallen into the water.

“khunpor”

Chu Xian heard a familiar Thai voice and after a moment of startlement, immediately leaned over and looked into the water.

“It looks like someone jumped into the water, haha!” Ma Zhigang remarked with some laughter.

“How impressive, I never imagined that we would actually get to witness someone trying to kill themselves.” Director Wang replied with some surprise.

“There are many of these people.” Ma Zhigang laughed. “We can wait here for a bit. The cruise ship crew won't just stand by and watch as he dies. Most people who jump end up getting saved in the end. Let's wait for a bit.”

Chu Xian and the others headed down to a lower level, and Chu Xian shook his head when he saw Li Long standing by the side, waiting anxiously.

“Li Long, what happened?”

Li Long turned and smiled awkwardly at Chu Xian, “My father lost his company!”

Chu Xian was stunned. How high were the stakes if he had lost his hundred million per year company.

“Ai!” Chu Xian shook his head. He did not know what to say, so he just walked over to Li Long and patted him on the shoulder.

Gu Li and the others watched with some confusion.

“We just met on the cruise!” Chu Xian told them.

“Try to persuade your father, as long as you have your life you can start over.” Ma Zhigang shook his head.

Li Long did not reply and just stood there, staring red eyed at the little boat in the water.

Just as Ma Zhigang had said, the cruise ship crew would not let a jumper die, so very soon a depressed middle-aged man was dragged up onto the boat and brought back to the ship.

“This is your father, correct?” A staff from Lucky Gambling spoke to Li Long. “Which cruise ship did you arrive from, we will send you back.”

“That one, you can take us back.” Li Long pointed before turning to look silently at his father.

“Big brothers, didn't you say that you wanted to try the Thai style massage. Do you want to follow them?” Chu Xian glanced at Li Long before turning towards Gu Li and the others.

“En, let's go together. We will also go to that ship.” Gu Li nodded and informed the staff.

“Okay!”

On the small boat, Chu Xian looked at Li Long's father and shook his head slightly.

After they arrived at the Thai cruise ship, Chu Xian looked at Li Long and his father and after a moment of hesitation approached the son. “Li Long, I am thinking about starting a sea snake company in Thailand. If you father can figure out his mindset, he can come find me. I'll be on this ship for an hour or two!”

Li Long looked at him in amazement.

Chu Xian patted his shoulder and then turned to follow Gu Li and the others.

“What's up, Chu Xian? Are you going to help them?” Gu Li and the others had not heard what Chu Xian had said and asked curiously when he rejoined them.

“I am not that familiar with them, but I do want to start a venture in Tahiland. They have experience, so I just casually asked.” Chu Xian smiled and they all walked inside.

The Thai oil massage is famous worldwide, and there were specialists on this cruise ship. After a shower and a full body massage, the whole body was relaxed.

The beauties that gave the massage were all particularly attractive, and according to Ma Zhigang, all the masseuses also provided special services.

In Thailand, the sex trade was legal!

But just as he lay down after the massage and was resting, a waiter came in and informed him that a man named Li Long was looking for him.

Chu Xian smiled and immediately stood up.

“Where are they? Take me to them!” Chu Xian said to the staffer.

“In the rest hall. Please follow me!'

Chu Xian nodded, his expression thoughtful. He had only planned to reach out without any real hope of success, but apparently the pair had made up their minds very quickly.

“I'll go talk, and as long as everything is fine I can invest. Sea snakes are treasures, and it is very difficult to catch them. It'll be easy for me because of my mermen. If I succeed, I will have an incredible source of income.”

Chu Xian thought to himself and walked into the hall. The expectant Li Long sat beside his downcast father, and Chu Xian quickly approached them.
