Chapter 47

This yacht is so beautiful, with its streamlined hull, wooden deck, and a fishing platform at the stern.

Ye Qing had seen yachts before; Zhongyun, being by the sea, had many wealthy people who liked to buy a yacht to show off. There were also plenty of yachts on TV and the internet, but to actually get a close-up look, this was his first time.

At the same time, Ye Qing was very puzzled. Why was this yacht moored here?

Longxi Beach was now so desolate that even birds wouldn't bother to defecate here. Why would this yacht, which was over ten meters long and clearly very expensive, come here?

No matter what, this place was now Ye Qing's territory.

Ye Qing stood high on the only small pier, surveying the boat's cabin. The dark glass of the cabin obstructed his view. However, the side door of the cabin soon opened, and a man wearing a white shirt and dress pants walked out.

This guy's attire was very much like a captain's, except he lacked the shoulder insignia and cap.

"Little brother, may I ask, is this a shipyard?" The man waved at Ye Qing. "I saw on my navigation system that there is a shipyard here."

"It went bankrupt long ago." Ye Qing pointed to the tall wall behind him. "I bought it and converted it for other uses."

"Converted for other uses?" The man was taken aback and apologized. "I'm sorry, but our yacht is broken. Can we borrow your pier?"

"There are many reefs in these waters. Our yacht hit a reef and damaged the propeller. It's a miracle we managed to reach this pier. Now the yacht has completely lost power and the propeller needs to be replaced."

"To replace the propeller, we need a dry dock, and I don't have one here." Ye Qing guessed this man was a driver for a wealthy person, otherwise he wouldn't be so polite.

"There's an open space nearby. When the tide rises, we can drag the boat there and secure it with supports. We just need to wait for the tide to go out."

This man seemed to have some knowledge of boat repairs. He pointed to an open area in front of the pier. "That should be the original shipyard, where boats were brought ashore. There's even a dedicated slipway."

Ye Qing stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"We'll only stay one night. Replacing the propeller will be quick. I'll contact another shipyard to bring the propeller, and we'll be gone by the next morning."

"Please help us, little brother. We'll pay double the mooring fee."

"Alright, you can stay one night." Ye Qing waved his hand, signaling him to stop.

Ye Qing didn't really want them to stay. If they did, he would have to call back the monsters to avoid exposing them. But if he drove them away and had another boat come to tow the yacht, it might raise their suspicions.

After all, not taking the money and driving them away might make them think he was hiding something.

One night, and they probably wouldn't stay on the yacht at night. He could let the monsters continue working, so he reluctantly agreed to help.

"Thank you, thank you." The white-shirted driver quickly thanked him.

The pier was a bit higher than the yacht. The yacht driver asked Ye Qing if he had a dinghy to borrow.

Ye Qing had some dinghies. These old pieces of wood were left by the former shipyard owner, and no one wanted them. Ye Qing pulled out a dinghy from the corner of the yard, which had been severely eroded by the elements.

This dinghy looked really bad, with many dents and dings, making one wonder if it would easily break.

The dinghy was set up, and the yacht driver ran back to the cabin, apparently to welcome his boss out.

"Such a big fuss." Ye Qing looked down on this guy's pretentiousness. If it were him, he would have easily jumped onto the pier, which was only about a meter high.

A girl wearing a light floral dress and a sun hat walked out of the cabin.

Ye Qing blinked, looking at this beautifully dressed girl in disbelief.

It wasn't that he recognized her, but this girl with a very beautiful face was incredibly young.

Ye Qing had thought the boss would be a short, fat man with a big belly, which was why they needed the dinghy.

This girl looked very delicate, with her hair fluttering in the wind, her smooth shoulders, and her long, white legs, which could easily stir a man's protective instincts.

Ye Qing smiled at her and gestured for her to come forward in a gentlemanly manner.

The charming girl also smiled sweetly at Ye Qing, making him feel as if he had been charmed.

The yacht driver came up, probably thinking the dinghy looked too dangerous, and deliberately bounced in the middle.

"No problem!" The yacht driver jumped onto the pier, steadying the dinghy and gesturing for her to come up.

The girl was quite poised, lifting her skirt to step onto the dinghy.

Longxi Beach was calm, and the yacht was stable. However, just as she was about to reach the pier, the weathered dinghy suddenly creaked and broke in the middle.

Three cries of surprise rang out at the same time!

As the girl fell with the dinghy, she instinctively reached out her white arm toward the pier, but the yacht driver, who was crouching, couldn't react in time.

Ye Qing grabbed her wrist.

The yacht driver hurriedly stood up, trying to help.

With a strong pull, Ye Qing lifted the girl onto the pier.

She weighed about 90 pounds. Ye Qing, who had been dealing with curbstones recently, had a good sense of weight, as he used 80-pound curbstones as a reference.

"Thank you, thank you for saving me." The girl's originally pale face turned even paler from the shock.

"What did you say?" Ye Qing was truly stunned, still holding her soft fingers.

"I said, thank you for saving me." The beautiful girl patted her chest, still shaken, but her voice remained as melodious as a lark.

"Your voice..."

Ye Qing, half-believing, half-doubting, said her name: "Are you Xia... Muqing?"

"Ah~" She was still shaken and was further stunned by Ye Qing's words.

"How do you know me?" Xia Muqing took off her Hawaiian-style woven hat, revealing a face as smooth as porcelain.

Her eyes were full of surprise. In a strange city in another province, a man she didn't know could accurately call out her name just by hearing her voice.

If Ye Qing had recognized her at first sight, Xia Muqing might have been more accepting. After all, she was the beloved daughter of the president of Tian Sheng Mining Group and also the general manager of Tian Sheng Group, so she had some fame.

The problem was that when Ye Qing first saw her, he had the expression of a stranger.

Ye Qing was equally surprised!

Xia Muqing's WeChat had no photos of her, but her voice was very familiar to Ye Qing.

As soon as Xia Muqing spoke, Ye Qing immediately recognized her voice.

What a coincidence, making Ye Qing feel like he should buy a lottery ticket.

Now it seemed that the two photos in her WeChat were from the signing ceremony for the procurement of a large batch of mining equipment from [Huaxing Heavy Industry].

He just didn't expect to run into her in the desolate Longxi Beach.
