I Can Turn into a Fish

“What? Xiao Xian, you are going to Thailand?”

Xiao Ying turned to look across the car at Chu Xian with her face covered with surprise, and she furrowed her brows slightly. “Has something happened?”

“Nothing, what could happen. The company in Thailand is going to start business soon, so I need to go there for a trip.” Chu Xian shook his head and smiled.

“Did you know that you are a very bad liar.” XIao Ying said in abrupt answer.

“Eh!” Chu Xian paused and then laughed bitterly. “Alright, the company in Thailand is in some trouble and I need to go there to figure everything out. It is not a big problem, and I will be gone for at most a week!”

“En!” Xiao Ying nodded.

“Don’t worry, it is not a big problem!” Chu Xian comforted.

“Then you go deal with it and quickly come back when you are done. Bring me some presents from Thailand!” Xiao Ying smiled up at him.

“Of course, it doesn’t matter where I go I’ll never forget my babe. I’ll call you everyday!”

“Xixi, you promise! Don’t forget.”

“Of course!” Chu XIan nodded.

The next morning, Chu Xian waved goodbye to Xiao Ying and got on the plane to Thailand.

Accompanying him was Sword Two, Sword Three, and Sword Four, Bass One, Old Mu, and the other six mermen. He had brought all his men.

Sword One’s death had outraged Chu Xian; every merman was a precious treasure, and although he could reuse the slot that Sword One had taken up and remold another fish, each mermen still needed time to learn and grow.

For instance, the present Gun One through Gun Seven were only six or seven days old, and they were far less intelligent than a normal adult – this was also the reason that Chu Xian had sent Old Huang and Sword One to lead them in Thailand.

“No matter who it is, they will pay for Sword One’s death!” Chu Xian’s eyes flashed coldly.

The plane landed in Bangkok, and then he took a bus to Prachaup Khiri Khan in Thailand.

Prachaup Khiri Khan is a small city in Thailand situated along the Gulf of Thailand. The city did not have a large population, with a community somewhere in the five figure range, but in this small number was a mess of a dozen or so different ethnic groups. The city was one of the more wild places in Thailand.

There was once a large drug lord that occupied Prachaup Khiri Khan, but he had been killed by the Thai government, and now there was a group of dragons without a leader. The situation was unclear.

But generally speaking, Thailand is still a very safe to visit, and is famous for its tourism industry.

After the five hour ride, Chu Xian arrived in the city. Old Huang, Gun One and the others were waiting alongside Li Long’s family at the bus station.

“Boss, it was my fault!” Old Huang called out guiltily as Chu Xian approached them.

“It’s alright, I won’t blame you for this!” Chu Xian shook his head.

“Brother Chu Xian!” Li Long immediately walked over as well and looked at him with an awkward gaze. “We don’t know….”

“It’s done. We’ll talk about it when we get back!”

Chu Xian interrupted him and then asked, “Are there any problems with the company?”

“Nothing right now!” Ling Long paused and then replied.

“What do you mean right now?” CHu XIan frowned unhappily.

“Brother CHu Xian, the person who tricked my father before was part of a group of powerful people here, and they used a lot of dirty methods to steal our company. Now that we are opening up another company, and they know that Old Huang and the others are here to help us catch sea snakes, they have warned us and told us to back away from the industry, otherwise they will destroy our company!” Li Long answered, his expression uncomfortable and embarrassed.

“Why won’t they let you open another copmany?” Chu Xian looked at Li Long with confusion.

“There might be some religious conflict. There are some Muslims in the southern part of the city that want independence and are causing conflicts,我们这里回教人占大多数 and my father usually does not get along with them, so…” Li Long explained.

“Muslisms? A religious conflict?” Chu Xian pinched the area between his brows. “What kind of people are these guys causing you trouble?”

“None of them are normal people; they are quite powerful and own weapons!” Li Long replied with worry.

“I understand!” Chu Xian nodded, and his heart relaxed.

As long as they were not part of the government, then the situation became a lot simpler.

“Lets go back, we can talk more there!” Chu Xian said to the group.

 Inside the limo, Chu XIan lay back and thought carefully.

He had anticipated some difficulties like this when he had planned to develop in foreign cities and had known that there would definitely be obstacles, but he had not thought that they would appear so quickly.

“Since I don’t have any support here I will just try some things, and in the worst case I will return to China with disappointment.”

Very quickly, Chu Xian made his decision.

The car moved quickly, and soon they stopped at the gate of a villa. Although Li Long’s father had lost his company, he still owned the house and their car.

Since Li Long’s father could not speak Chinese, he and Chu Xian only shook hands. The entire way, only LI Long and Chu Xian had been speaking.

“How should we approach this?” Li Long said, utterly lost.

“Just do what you have done before; I’ll take Gun One and the others with me out to sea tonight!” Chu Xian replied.

“Ah? You can’t! Brother Chu XIan, they have weapons, and they aren’t afraid to kill people at sea!” Li Long said hurriedly.

“I know!” Chu Xian waved him away, and then turned to Old Huang. “How did you deal with Sword One?”

“Cremated!” Old Huang directly replied.

“En!” Chu XIan nodded, “Li Long, go out and get two water-proof electric drills. Can you get any guns?”

“I can get the drills, but I don’t know how to get any guns.” Li Long replied tremulously, surprised and a little scared by Chu Xian’s words.

“I understand. Then get the drills!” Chu Xian nodded.

“Lingling!”

At that moment, Li Long’s father’s phone rang, and after he listened for a second he cried out in alarm. Li Long’s expression rapidly changed.

“What is it?” Chu Xian frowned at Li Long.

“It looks like our company was hit by a bulldozer by accident, and the decorations we had just finished are completely ruined!” Li Long replied, his face pale.

“Up, let’s go take a look!” Chu Xian immediately stood up.

Chu XIan had put in all the investment for this company, and all the loss was carried by him alone. Now that something had happened again, his mood was terrible.

“En.” Li Long nodded, and very quickly he drove Chu Xian and his father over to the company headquarters.

Paradise Sea Snakes had bought out an abandoned factory conveniently located not too far from the sea line, and their current business was focused on renovating the place for use.

As Chu Xian followed the others to the factory, he saw that a giant bulldozer and crashed into the building and caused a huge mess. A gaggle of workers surrounded the problem.

Li Long’s father immediately walked over and called out to the surrounding people

“Brother Chu XIan, they say that it was some drunk poor man. The car he used to get here was rented, and he has already been taken away by the police. I think someone had him do this, but we won’t be able to get any compensation out of him regardless. At most he’ll get jail time.”

After a moment, Li Long walked over and explained to Chu Xian.

“Hu!” CHu Xian exhaled, and then asked. “If our company was located downtown, would this kind of thing happen?”

“No, our country is still rather safe, no one would dare do illegal things downtown!”

“Okay, get a place downtown for us to use, and hire some guards!” Chu Xian said firmly.

“Of course, but if they are coming at us on purpose, this will still be troublesome!” Li Long frowned.

“Let me deal with this!” Chu Xian replied. “Get me the information on the people causing us trouble.”

“Okay, Brother Chu Xian!’ Li Long nodded.

Back at Li Long’s villa, Li Long very quickly gathered the information and presented it to Chu Xian. “Brother Chu XIan, this is the information!”

“En.” Chu Xian took the information and looked over the list of people as he silently thought.

There were three people going after Li Long and his father. The first was a fishing king in Prachuap Khiri Khan who had businesses in charge of raising and catching fish, the second was a magnate in charge of the red light district of the city with hundreds of subordinates.

The third person was the boss of a ship manufacturing company. The three people had split up Li Long’s father’s company, and wanted to monopolize the sea snake industry in the city.

“Looks like none of them are simple!” Chu Xian smiled thinly, and then asked Li Long to prepare a room for him to rest in.

That night, after dinner the group ate dinner, Chu Xian headed out to the coastline.

The moonless night sky was murky and dark, and the only lights were the little glows hanging off the fronts of the various fishing ships, little wooden affairs bobbing in the water.

 “Brother Chu XIan, this is the fishing ship that we have been renting.” Li Long pointed to a ten meter long wooden ship nearby. “We used to own a big ship over thirty meters long, but that ship is under the old company’s name and already belongs to other people.”

“En!” Chu Xian nodded. He looked to the gathered mermen around him and then waved Li Long back. “Li Long, you can return to the villa, I’m going to go out and take a look.”

“Brother Chu Xian, you have to be careful. If you encounter any other fishing ships you have to run away, they have weapons!” Li Long reminded them again.

“Don’t worry!” Chu Xian nodded.

“Old Mu, get the ship ready!”

“Okay boss!” Old Mu nodded.

“Where did they find you last time?” Chu Xian asked Old Huang and the others.

“It wasn’t too far from land. They seemed to know exactly where we were and ambushed us. That time, if Sword One hadn’t been piloting then he could have gotten away as well!” Old Huang replied.

“En, they were ready for you?” Chu Xian frowned, and with a thought activated his god’s eye view and examined the ship.

“As i thought!” Chu Xian looked over the top of the piloting cabin and very quirky found a black object fixed to the outside of the ship.

“It should be some sort of GPS device. Looks like they did something to the ship. It must have been easy for the boss of a ship manufacturing company to attach something to a fishing ship!”

Chu XIan thought quietly to himself, but he made no move to remove the GPS. He smiled thinly to himself.

“Head over to somewhere with a lot of sea snakes!”
