Fu Tianlai chuckled and nodded, saying, "Okay!"
Zhou Xuan flicked his finger lightly on the wine bottle, using his ice-qi ability to lower the wine's temperature to around zero degrees Celsius. In this sweltering heat, this temperature wouldn't freeze the wine, but freezing it would enhance the refreshing sensation.
Fu Tianlai picked up the glass and took a sip. A cool sensation seeped straight into his heart, from his mouth all the way down to his stomach, and then from his stomach to his whole body. His pores opened up, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Refreshing!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said to his six bodyguards, "Why don't you guys have a drink too!"
What Fu Tianlai admired about Zhou Xuan was his naturalness. No matter how wealthy he was, he never acted superior, which made the people around him genuinely like him, rather than just saying things to flatter him!
Although the bodyguards had only known Zhou Xuan for a short time, they understood his personality well. He was a straightforward and respectable person who was easy to like and respect. He didn't have the arrogance of a boss, but he also had the leadership qualities that made people admire him. After Zhou Xuan asked them to drink, they looked at Fu Tianlai. If Fu Tianlai hadn't been there, they certainly wouldn't have been so polite, but now that Fu Tianlai was there, they had to follow the rules.
Fu Tianlai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Drink up, don't be so reserved, we're all family!"
The six bodyguards were overjoyed and poured themselves a glass of red wine. Zhou Xuan told them to bring out a few more bottles so they could drink to their hearts' content. He then chilled the red wine that had been brought out, making it taste even better. These red wines were originally very valuable treasures.
After having a few drinks, Fu Tianlai instructed his bodyguards to bring out fishing rods and other fishing gear, preparing to fish. He then smiled and said, "You guys, set up the barbecue equipment, start the fire, and get ready to grill the fish."
This was prepared on the yacht in advance, with all the necessary grilling equipment, seasonings, and charcoal. It was something Fu Tianlai enjoyed, but because he was too busy with official business, he rarely came to the yacht. Li Junjie and Johnny were the ones who often took the yacht out. Now, Johnny and his mother had been sidelined by Fu Tianlai and had their inheritance rights revoked. The second daughter, Li Junjie, and her family had returned to Taiwan. In fact, the yacht had been sitting idle at the club for a long time.
With his mood relaxed and the crisis of the Fu family resolved, his fortunes soared to a level he had never reached before. He was overjoyed and at ease, and he became more focused on fishing.
The yacht was located about fifteen nautical miles away, in an area with a depth of over four hundred meters. Zhou Xuan could not detect the depth of the sea, but he could detect whether there were any fish within four hundred meters of the yacht. There weren't many fish, and none of them were big, so they were not easy to catch.
Watching the six bodyguards prepare the barbecue grill and light the charcoal fire, but after waiting for a long time without catching a single small fish, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Zhou Xuan chuckled as he took off his clothes and said, "I'm going down to catch a fish, but it depends on luck. Let's see if I can catch a big one!"
Upon seeing this, the bodyguards quickly went back into the warehouse to retrieve several diving devices, preparing to accompany Zhou Xuan down. Zhou Xuan was now their boss, with extraordinary wealth—the world's richest man—so they couldn't afford to be careless. Although going into the sea was a hobby, they still needed to ensure his safety.
Zhou Xuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need, you guys get ready on the yacht. I'll go down alone, catch a fish and come back up, no problem!"

The bodyguards hesitated, glancing at Fu Tianlai. Fu Tianlai smiled and nodded, indicating that he was okay, and said, "It's alright, let him be!"
Seeing that Fu Tianlai was so casual and not worried at all, the bodyguards were also a little surprised, but since their boss had agreed, they could only comply.
Zhou Xuan, grinning, was only wearing shorts when he jumped straight into the water from the deck. The bodyguards were a little worried because they didn't expect Zhou Xuan to jump so suddenly without a diving suit.
Fu Tianlai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhou Xuan is an excellent swimmer. Even if you wear diving equipment, you still can't beat him, so there's nothing to worry about."
Worrying was useless; Zhou Xuan had already jumped into the sea. Now the sea was calm, with only slight ripples. The yacht had turned off its engine and was completely still.
However, the bodyguards were still very curious. It would be very difficult to catch fish in the sea with bare hands, and Zhou Xuan was not wearing any diving equipment. How long could he stay underwater?
This is not like the shallow sea. At the seaside, you might be able to catch some fish underwater, but this is the deep sea, with a depth of over a thousand meters. It is impossible to dive to the bottom. To catch fish in the sea is like trying to catch a wild dog in the wilderness. It is not easy to catch one even if you try your best.
After Zhou Xuan jumped into the sea, he used his supernatural ability to probe with all his might. From the center point, he could probe 400 meters below and 800 meters in all directions. He could see all the activity in the nearly one-mile stretch of sea. There were some scattered fish swimming by, but no schools of fish. Of course, this was not like in the South China Sea, where there was no need to catch a large number of fish. If it was just a few of them having a barbecue and they only needed one fish, then they would catch a special fish to make the meal more satisfying.
Zhou Xuan swam slowly, not diving very deep, but just probing for the movement of fish in the seawater. There were also some sea fish weighing around a hundred pounds swimming by, but Zhou Xuan felt that the flesh of these fish was a bit coarse, and they probably wouldn't taste good if grilled, so he didn't think about catching them.
About ten minutes later, Zhou Xuan suddenly detected four tiger sharks, each over two meters long, chasing a small fish about 400 meters to his left. However, they were not heading in his direction, but rather diagonally about 50 or 60 meters away.
Zhou Xuan was overjoyed and quickly swam to the left, about 50 or 60 meters away, intending to block them in front of him. Since they were still more than 400 meters away, he could catch up. Moreover, the four tiger sharks were not swimming at full speed, but chasing each other as if they were playing around.
Zhou Xuan swam with all his might to a distance of fifty meters. Although he had special abilities and an unusual physique, it did not mean that Zhou Xuan could swim as fast or as easily as a fish.
Zhou Xuan stopped to calm his racing heart, but before it had completely subsided, some startled fish rushed past him. Four tiger sharks were only twenty meters away from him, and Zhou Xuan could detect them very clearly.
Tiger sharks have an extremely keen sense of smell. When Zhou Xuan blocked their path, they slowed down and swam in a fan shape. Although these tiger sharks are not very large, they are extremely aggressive. These tiger sharks were not adults and seemed to lack experience. They were only two meters long, but they were not afraid of Zhou Xuan. After a moment of hesitation, they charged forward fiercely, preparing to surround and tear Zhou Xuan to pieces. However, Zhou Xuan would not give them that chance.
With a flick of his ice-energy, he froze all four tiger sharks, though not fatally. Three of them sank into the water, while the remaining shark swam up, grabbed them, and then floated back to the surface.
The depth is only seven or eight meters, so the water isn't very deep. Zhou Xuan then froze the shark's head to prevent it from exhaling the air from its belly, thus preventing it from sinking. Otherwise, he simply couldn't carry a tiger shark to the surface.
While underwater, Zhou Xuan accurately located the yacht. After surfacing, he shouted towards the yacht, "Bring it over here!"
On the yacht, apart from Fu Tianlai who wasn't in a hurry, the other bodyguards were quite anxious. Zhou Xuan had been submerged for almost ten minutes. Fu Tianlai chuckled and said, "Although you're worried, my grandson-in-law has practiced advanced Chinese Qigong. He can hold his breath for one or two hours. You wouldn't believe it, would you? Hehe, don't worry, it'll only be for a short while. There won't be any major problems."
Sure enough, less than two minutes after Fu Tianlai said that, Zhou Xuan emerged from the water about 50 or 60 meters to the left of the yacht and shouted at them.
The bodyguards quickly instructed the driver to drive the yacht over. After the yacht stopped, Zhou Xuan shouted to the bodyguards, "Throw down a rope. I've caught something big. I'll tie it up, and then you can pull it up."
Because Zhou Xuan's body was mostly submerged in the water, and his hands were gripping the tiger shark in the seawater, the people on the yacht couldn't see him clearly, but they could still vaguely see a dark thing in the water. It looked quite large, but they just couldn't tell what kind of fish it was.
The bodyguards quickly retrieved nylon ropes from the warehouse, tied one end to the yacht railing, and threw the other end into the sea. Zhou Xuan used one hand to tightly wrap the tiger shark's body several times in the water, then tied it securely before surfacing. He reached the gangway, climbed up the ladder, and onto the yacht. At the same time, he used his supernatural abilities to slightly thaw the tiger shark, but not completely thaw it. It was still mobile but lacked the ability to bite, letting the bodyguards know it was alive.
Zhou Xuan sat on the deck basking in the sun. The bodyguards were about to talk to him, but a shout from the bodyguard pulling the rope immediately drew everyone's attention.
"It's a tiger shark... Oh my god, it's a tiger shark..."
Amid screams, the tiger shark was pulled out of the water by a rope, thrashing and thrashing about. All six bodyguards rushed over to pull the rope to help, both surprised and delighted. Even Fu Tianlai stood up to watch. Although he knew Zhou Xuan had special abilities, he hadn't expected Zhou Xuan to catch a tiger shark, and he was indeed pleasantly surprised.
The six bodyguards, laughing and joking, worked together to drag the tiger shark onto the yacht. The tiger shark thrashed about on the deck, so the bodyguards took out iron bars and steel pipes to hold it down and prevent it from moving before they surrounded it.
The tiger shark stared at the group with its dead eyes, its mouth revealing terrifying white teeth. Even though the group had it under control, the six bodyguards were still on guard. If it bit them, they would be crippled or seriously injured.
Zhou Xuan chuckled and said, "It took some effort to catch it. Let's gut it and have some grilled shark and fresh shark fin. That should be pretty good, right?"
Without being told, one of the bodyguards grabbed a knife, while the others continued to hold the tiger shark's body still, and the last one grabbed a water gun to spray it, preparing to clean the inside of the gutted fish.
With one swift cut, the tiger shark's belly was ripped open from top to bottom, and blood, along with its intestines and liver, flowed out. The bodyguard collected and tidied up everything useful; sharks are treasures from head to toe, and their livers and intestines are excellent tonics.
