Chapter 66 Family

After the tide reached its peak, it began to recede slowly, and the heavy rain stopped temporarily. The occasional howling wind pushed the swaying hull like a pendulum of a wooden clock back and forth.

Baima Shan followed Mr. Wang to fish on the side of the boat. The mood of fishing this time was very different from before.

Before it was for leisure and entertainment, now it is for survival.

But somehow, the fish seemed to have left the sea area. The two fished for a long time before they caught a few small fish. The difference from last time when they kept catching fish was simply too big.

Mr. Wang was silent, probably because he hadn't eaten well or slept well in the past two days. His face was very haggard, and he looked completely different from the day when he was full of red face and talked endlessly about teaching them how to fish.

"Xiaobai, tell me, can we go back?" The old man suddenly said this.

Baima Mountain looked at the vast sea and didn't know what to do, but he still wanted to comfort the old man: "Although we can't contact the rescue now, my family must have called the police. It was windy and rainy last night, and the search and rescue personnel couldn't go out. It's sunny today."

, we should be able to start the official search and rescue, we must have confidence in the national rescue team. Besides, no matter what, you are the person with the least regrets on this boat."

Mr. Wang gave a wry smile: "Yes, I have lived for more than seventy years, and I am good enough. But people are greedy. My grandson is not married yet, and I still want to see him get married and start a family, and I want to hug his child, too.

I don’t know if there will be another chance like this.”

Baima Shan smiled and said: "You have the longest earlobes among people, and you have a long-lived appearance. Don't worry, you can not only hold your great-grandson in your arms, but also watch him go to college. Everyone in our boat can benefit from you."

The old man's mood was calmed by these words, and he was no longer so depressed. Thinking of his grandson, who was better and more filial than his son, he finally had a smile on his face.

At this time, the relatives on the shore gathered at the police station and asked the search and rescue team to quickly find the whereabouts of the people on the boat.

"Comrade, today's sea level is normal. When can you go out to search?" The speaker was a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties, with an urgent voice.

"Don't worry. After the wind and waves subsided this morning, we have already started searching according to the route you provided." The staff of the Maritime Safety Administration who was responsible for the reception looked at the man in white shirt and trousers in front of him. He was obviously dressed so formally, but his feet were slipping.

Wearing a pair of sneakers.

"When will there be news?" Wu Peng was worried. He couldn't contact the old man since Sunday morning. It's already Monday now, and the search team has just set off. Can he not be anxious?

The phone rang and he answered it impatiently. It was another intern from the law firm who asked him where he was. The boss was in a bad mood and asked him to come back quickly as the morning meeting was about to begin.

Wu Peng thought of those boring meetings and said, "I have something to do today, please help me and Tang Lu take a day off."

"Are you asking for leave again?" The other party advised him that if he had nothing important to do, it would be better to come. As an intern, he took more leave than his partners, so he obviously didn't want to hang out anymore.

"It's important. My grandfather is missing. I have to stay at the Maritime Safety Bureau these days. Forget it, don't ask for a day off, just give me a week." Wu Peng really didn't want to work in the law firm, if not

The old man insisted that he study law, and even forced him into a law firm because of his connections. Now he is a dream-chasing hip-hop singer.

The colleague over there was almost scared to death by him. He called him "good guy." In order not to bring disaster to Yuchi, he asked him to call and ask for leave and hung up the phone.

Wu Peng sent a message to Tang Lu, telling him about the old man's disappearance, and then said that he would wait for the old man's message and ask for a week's leave.

The other party didn't reply, and Wu Peng didn't care, because he didn't care about this job. Anyway, it wasn't what he liked to do. It would be better to be fired, so that he could make the music he likes.

With this thought in mind, he threw his briefcase on the chair in the hall, sat down next to him, pulled off the tie around his neck, and stuffed it directly into the bag.

Wu Peng, who unbuttoned his collar, seemed to have come to life again. Under his short hair, he had outstanding facial features. A very small and shiny earring was particularly eye-catching on his left ear. He took off the earrings on his tall nose.

He wore rimless glasses and pinched his fingers between his eyebrows. He had been worried since the old man disappeared. He also called his father, but his unreliable father called, but every time he got a busy signal.

He can only send messages, but the other party hasn't replied to him yet, and he doesn't know if he saw it or not.

He was a little tired, with his arms and head resting on the back of the chair, thinking about what else he could do to find out the whereabouts of the old man besides waiting.

At this time, a couple in their fifties or sixties rushed in. The woman's eyes were red and she asked the staff: "Comrade Coast Guard, my daughter, my daughter took a boat out to sea two days ago. Until now,

She hasn’t come back yet. I haven’t contacted her for two days. She originally arrived on Sunday afternoon, but now it’s Monday and she still hasn’t come back. Can you send a helicopter to search and rescue people immediately?”

The staff understood immediately upon hearing this and asked: "Are you all from Ludao Community? What is your daughter's name?"

When the couple heard this, they knew that someone had already come to report the case, so they nodded quickly: "Yes, it's Ludao Community. My daughter's name is Jia Wenjun, she is a property employee. Their community held a yacht fishing activity, and she also followed

Went. What's the name of that ship?"

"Shell number." Jia Wenjun's father added next to him.

When Wu Peng, who was sitting in the waiting area, heard this, he turned to look at the couple.

The staff registered the information of the missing person Jia Wenjun and the contact numbers of the old couple, and said that a search team had been sent out to look for him. If there was any news, they would call them and ask them to go back and wait.

Because the old couple was worried about their daughter, they braved the heavy rain last night and couldn't buy air tickets or high-speed rail tickets. They just took a hard-seat train all night to come here. Now they are asked to go back and wait for news. How can they be willing?

The staff had no choice but to point to where Wu Peng was sitting: "Family members of the community are waiting over there, so you can go sit over there and wait."

The worried couple could only come and sit down. Seeing Wu Peng leaning on the seat next to him, Jia Wenjun's mother said, "Young man, your family is also on that boat?"

Wu Peng opened his eyes, turned to look at them, and nodded: "My grandpa is up there."

Mother Jia did not expect that there would be such an old owner on the ship. Thinking that her daughter was in her prime years, her eyes became red again.

Jia's father asked: "What's your surname? Is this the first case you reported?"

Wu Peng shook his head: "My surname is Wu. When I came here to report the crime on Sunday evening, someone had already arrived. I heard that he was a friend of the ship owner."
