After receiving Zhou Xuan's order, the yacht driver immediately set off at full speed to return. Having finished their barbecue, Fu Tianlai had his bodyguards pack up the equipment and preserve the remaining white shark meat. Although frozen meat wasn't as delicious as fresh meat, it was a rare opportunity to eat real shark meat these days. Catching such a large shark on the surface of the sea was pure luck. Shark meat was something you couldn't buy with money at seafood restaurants or supermarkets. Preserving it in the freezer and eating it slowly was better than eating it at the hotel, especially since the hotel didn't sell shark meat.
Zhou Cangsong and Jin Xiumei squeezed their way to Zhou Xuan's side when they arrived. While checking their son's body, they asked, "Son, are you alright?"
"Mom and Dad, do you see if I'm alright? Hehe, I'm perfectly fine!"
Zhou Xuan answered with a grin, waving his hand to show his parents while also scanning the sea outside. The ice ball had melted and disappeared without a trace.
After a while, everyone's curiosity subsided. Seeing that Zhou Xuan was alright, they all returned to the deck to enjoy the sea view. Sitting on a luxury yacht to see the sea view was just like sitting in a BMW to see the scenery.
Seeing that Zhou Xuan was alright, Zhou Xuan's parents went out to rest. While resting, they carefully observed and examined the strange fish from head to tail. They really didn't recognize this kind of fish. When they noticed, they saw that the fish's horns looked like cow horns, but the horn material seemed to be very different. Zhou Xuan reached out and touched it. The horn material was very hard and cold.
After everyone had left, only Zhou Xuan remained. The strange fish seemed to be staring at Zhou Xuan again. Zhou Xuan was extremely surprised. What kind of fish was this?
The two golden whiskers looked like those of an old man, but Zhou Xuan couldn't recognize them. He immediately used his special ability to probe the fish, but strangely, his ability couldn't detect the fish's body.
Zhou Xuan's curiosity was piqued again. Since his supernatural abilities couldn't detect this fish, was it the same as before? Did this fish contain some kind of alien substance inside its body?

Volume 1, Chapter 655: The Origin of the Unknown Strange Fish
Zhou Xuan wasn't sure what kind of alien substance it was, or even if there was any alien substance at all, because the alien substances he had seen before weren't ordinary; they included things like gold stones, crystals, and alien spaceships. &&Latest chapter search on Baidu: Biquge&&
Then think about what kind of superhumans he had encountered in this world. But Zhou Xuan could count them on his fingers. The first superhuman he met was Ma Shu, and the second one was Mo Feng.
The thought of Mo Feng stirred something in Zhou Xuan's heart. This was the person he had met, who had transformed from an ordinary person into a superhuman. Moreover, this superhuman ability was due to his own creation. His superhuman ability originated from the "Fire Meteor Blade," and wasn't that Fire Meteor Blade something that came from the belly of one of his swordfish?
Zhou Xuan was stunned. Could it be that this strange fish contained some strange alien substance in its stomach? Or was it like the swordfish, containing an alien weapon with powerful supernatural abilities?
However, Zhou Xuan was not sure. The swordfish was over a meter long and much larger than this strange fish, while the strange fish was less than two feet long and weighed no more than two kilograms. With such a small size, it would be too small for it to contain any alien matter or objects.
This idea prevented Zhou Xuan from having the thought of killing the strange fish, cutting it open, and seeing what was inside.
Zhou Xuan looked again at the strange fish's peculiar eyes that seemed to be staring at him. He wondered what it was thinking. A fish like this probably didn't have any intelligence. But when he thought about what it was thinking, Zhou Xuan remembered that he had an alien language communication device.
This is from the hands of an alien in that "Butcher's" assassin organization. It's the only useful thing I got after killing that alien. Now I'm going to use it to communicate with this strange fish and see if it's useful.
With that thought in mind, Zhou Xuan immediately pressed the button and selected the strange fish from the communicator's prompts. The scene of communicating with the strange fish immediately appeared in his mind.
For a fleeting moment, Zhou Xuan seemed to detect a trace of the strange fish's thoughts, but all he felt was an endless expanse of ice and snow. He couldn't help but shiver, and then the connection was severed. He no longer knew the strange fish's thoughts.
Zhou Xuan recovered and was somewhat dazed. He felt that this strange fish was definitely not normal, but he didn't know exactly what was strange about it. He just felt that it was abnormal. The language exchange converter in his hand had no effect on it, but it did have an effect for a second. In that second, Zhou Xuan seemed to detect a tiny bit of its thoughts and ideas.
To be precise, it wasn't that it detected the strange fish's thoughts or ideas, but rather that it seemed to enter the strange fish's mind. However, it didn't see anything else but boundless cold, as if it were in the icy wilderness of Antarctica.
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a long time. He pressed the button on the language transmitter again, but there was no response. He wondered if the transmitter was broken.
Since acquiring it, this thing has never broken. Alien technology is truly amazing; the entire surface of the watch is seamless. You simply can't imagine how it was made. Therefore, there's no worry about it being damaged by water. No matter where it is, even underwater, Zhou Xuan has never removed it, nor has it ever been damaged. &&Latest chapter search on Baidu: Biquge&&
But now, is this thing broken? Zhou Xuan wondered, but he couldn't be sure. So he decided to wait a while and find a passerby to test it after returning to shore. The people on the yacht mostly spoke Chinese, so there was nothing to test.
By this time, they had been at sea for nearly seven hours, and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Fu Tianlai ordered the yacht driver to turn the boat back. He kept thinking that being happily reunited with his family was the happiest thing of all.
Thinking back to his childhood, his family's circumstances were not as good as they are now, and his father worked hard all the time. But no matter how hard it was, his love for him was never lacking. When he was in school, his father would pick him up and drop him off every day. While other children rode in cars, his father would carry him on his shoulders like he was riding a horse. Later, when he got older and could no longer carry him, Fu Yuhai bought a bicycle to pick him up and drop him off.
Looking at his father's youthful and happy expression, Fu Tianlai's eyes welled up with tears. Over the years, besides working hard to make money, he hadn't paid much attention to his father. His father had always been lonely. His son had been trained by him since childhood to become a work machine just like him, only knowing how to work for the business family and being rather indifferent to human relationships and family ties. His daughter-in-law was also chosen according to his wishes, a wealthy woman from a rich family. So even now, both son and daughter-in-law are working for the family and are still in Europe.
Fu Tianlai suddenly regretted his actions. He realized how miserable his life had been. When he first met Zhou Xuan, he disliked him because Zhou Xuan had stolen the heart of his beloved granddaughter. However, after discovering Zhou Xuan's special abilities, he changed his mind. But without a doubt, he didn't like Zhou Xuan as a person; he liked his special abilities because they could bring safety and help to the Fu family. And now, Zhou Xuan had indeed saved the Fu family, rescuing them from dire straits.
But starting some time ago, Fu Tianlai gradually changed his opinion of Zhou Xuan. He had never spent time with Zhou Xuan before, but after Zhou Xuan's family came to New York and they lived together, he discovered that Zhou Xuan and his family were so simple and honest. Although they were far less dignified than the wealthy and powerful people in his world, the ordinary and down-to-earth qualities they displayed made him feel at peace and content. This was what a home should be like, and he felt loved and cared for, and loved by his family.
In the Fu family, it used to be a cold and impersonal home, like a machine. When had they ever felt this way before?
Now, the adults are laughing, the two innocent and adorable little children are babbling, and even the servants and bodyguards are chatting and laughing with them like a family. Before, when these people saw him, they were all extremely respectful and didn't dare to breathe loudly. No wonder no one dared to get close to him!
As Fu Tianlai pondered, his old eyes blurred. Now, he realized that money was nothing. He had initially thought that Zhou Xuan's arrival at the Fu family was a bargain for Zhou Xuan, and that the Fu family's wealth would ultimately fall into his hands. That was why Fu Tianlai had somewhat overestimated himself. But later, he realized that his thinking was completely wrong. The assets Zhou Xuan had accumulated were an astronomical sum in the eyes of ordinary people, a figure they could not even imagine or reach. Compared to the Fu family's wealth, it was still far from enough. But now he could see clearly that Zhou Xuan's wealth was not just about money, but also about his abilities and his kind character, which might be more than the wealth of the entire world.
He had all the money he could ever want; no one in the world was richer than him. Yet, he was never arrogant. Instead, he chose to live a simple life with his family, enjoying the simple things he loved.
Fu Tianlai felt relieved. He had always wanted to push Zhou Xuan to the position of head of the Fu family, wanting him to shoulder this heavy responsibility. But now, he thought, why bother with him? Having such a grandson-in-law was his good fortune. As long as he could live happily and well, that was better than anything else.
The yacht sped back at full speed, and a dozen people in six or seven vehicles brought back the shark meat. Both trips to sea were enjoyable and satisfying, and they brought back a large amount of shark meat, enough to feed them for at least several more times.
After returning home, Zhou Xuan found a large basin and put the strange fish in it. The next day, he specially hired an engineering company to renovate a huge fish tank in the living room. Fu Tianlai, of course, did not object to what Zhou Xuan did.
This glass fish tank is very large, two meters thick, about four meters high, and ten meters long, totaling eighty cubic meters. It's quite large for a family, but luckily the Fu family's living room is big enough.
Zhou Xuan then put the strange fish back into the large fish tank, and added some colorful sea stones and other fish to keep it company.
During this time, Zhou Xuan tried to communicate with the strange fish again, but he was unsuccessful. Unlike last time, he did not feel the coldness in his mind. He also tested the language communication device, which was working and had no problems. The problem was that he could not communicate with the strange fish.
Every time Zhou Xuan observed the strange fish, he felt as if it were watching him, as if it had thoughts. The strange fish gave him a mysterious feeling, but the rest of the family did not feel the same way. In their eyes, no matter how strange the fish looked, it was just a fish.
When Zhou Xuan had nothing to do, he would post photos of the strange fish online. Two days later, when he checked the website again, he found that there were thousands of comments under the photos he posted. They were mostly asking what kind of fish it was. Some said it was an arowana, a descendant of dragons, while others said it was a prehistoric species, an unknown fish species. But no matter what the answer was, Zhou Xuan was not satisfied. He felt that none of these explanations were appropriate.
As for the claim of dragons being descendants, that's pure fiction. Aside from prehistoric dinosaurs, the dragons in Eastern legends are just a legend, a fictional thing that doesn't exist. And other claims, he found even more ridiculous, even though Zhou Xuan wasn't a paleontologist.
However, to be fair, the fish that Zhou Xuan caught was not a known species in the world, nor was it a fossil; it was a new species that was unknown to most people.
Zhou Xuan himself felt that it wasn't that simple, but he wasn't worried. Anyway, this fish was definitely no match for him.
Zhou Xuan postponed Lao He's matter again because he couldn't cooperate with Lao He for the time being due to his own business with the CIA's secret research institution. The rent for the office building was insignificant to Zhou Xuan, so he offered to have Fu's company cover it. Lao He could still run his clinic, but the cooperation with the new company would have to be postponed.
In fact, because of the Chen family's situation, dozens of wealthy people have contacted Lao He. The third son of the Chen family has been cured of AIDS. After several repeated examinations at the hospital, it was confirmed that the disease had been eradicated. The Chen family was overjoyed. Of course, money was spent, but the life of the third son was saved. Mrs. Chen signed another 100 million yuan in cash and delivered it to Lao He. Although it was painful, it was still fulfilled.
Chen Taixian also thought that since Lao He had such abilities, he might have other symptoms in the future. Such extraordinary people were not to be offended. He had to leave himself a way out. If he also contracted a terminal illness in the future, he could still talk to Lao He about it. Perhaps Lao He had saved his life. So he endured the pain.
Moreover, in order to curry favor with Lao He, Lao Chen specially introduced some wealthy friends to Lao He so that he could treat his illness. As a result, Lao He became very busy. However, Zhou Xuan informed him that the matter could not be carried out at the moment and had to be postponed. Lao He had no choice but to politely decline those who came for treatment, saying that it was not possible to treat the illness at the moment and that it would take some time.
