Chapter 332: Chapter 207: Conspiracy? Strategy!
"You motherf***er! Are you f***ing playing dumb with me?"
Upon hearing Zhang Yang not mentioning the bobber, Zhu Wu immediately raised his voice.
There was a swoosh sound, and at least a dozen competing anglers around turned their heads in unison to look over.
This was exactly the effect Zhang Yang wanted, and he unhesitatingly raised his hand and shouted for the referee: "Report!"
Upon hearing Zhang Yang’s report, the nearest referee quickly walked over.
This referee had some impression of Zhang Yang; it was him who weighed Zhang Yang’s previous big fish that weighed over twelve pounds.
"What’s going on? What’s the situation?"
The referee glanced at Zhang Yang and noticed he wasn’t catching fish, his eyes showed a hint of confusion not knowing why Zhang Yang was reporting.
Zhang Yang pointed at Zhu Wu, who had just cursed him, and said, "Report to the referee, the angler next to me insulted me for no reason!"
Hearing Zhang Yang bite back, Zhu Wu was momentarily stunned.
The referee, after listening, also glanced at Zhu Wu: "Is that the case?"
Zhang Yang: "Just now, I caught a carp that had a broken thick line attached to it; the angler next to me claimed it was his fishing gear set and asked for the bobber back. I said I hadn’t seen the bobber, and this guy just started cursing me. Are we going to do something about it?"
Zhu Wu, although stunned, wasn’t completely foolish. He immediately shook his head to explain: "There was clearly a line and a bobber attached. I just wanted to get my bobber back!"
Zhang Yang firmly denied: "Didn’t see the bobber! I run my own fishing tackle company, what bobber don’t I have? Why would I want your crappy bobber?"
"I saw with my own eyes that he took off the bobber and put it in his bobber case, right in the rear rod bag compartment!" Zhu Wu didn’t give up and pointed to the rod bag.
The referee, having heard the gist of it, turned and asked Zhang Yang: "Where is your bobber case? Can you take it out for verification? If what he said is not true upon verification, I’ll make him apologize to you!"
Zhang Yang nonchalantly said, "Just take a look, all the bobbers in my case are the same brand! There isn’t a single off-brand bobber! You can verify it!"
Upon saying this, Zhang Yang took out one of his bobber cases wrapped in a velvet cover.
This was one of the two boxes of bobbers Zhang Yang brought himself, all of which were genuine Alu bobbers, neatly arranged by lead size, looking perfectly in order without any incongruity.
In fact, the referee, after hearing Zhu Wu’s explanation, was inclined to believe Zhu Wu, but seeing Zhang Yang’s neatly arranged bobbers, the referee changed his stance.
"All he uses are the same type of bobber, what do you say?" The referee opened the bobber case and showed it to Zhu Wu, his tone now inclined to believe Zhang Yang.
This left Zhu Wu dumbfounded.
Fishing next to someone, who clearly took his bobber, but upon opening the case, it turns out all the bobbers are of the same brand and even model as his own, and there’s no way to explain it even with a face full of mouths.
Seeing Zhu Wu stunned into a dumbfounded state, the referee continued, "Now, in my capacity as a referee, I ask you to apologize to the other angler and issue you a warning!
If there’s any further unreasonable disturbance affecting others’ fishing, your qualification for the competition will be directly canceled and you’ll be thrown out of the fishing ground!
If you have objections to my ruling, you can go to the event arbitration team within an hour after the competition ends, pay the appeal fee to file an appeal. If the appeal is successful, the fee will be returned intact, but if the appeal fails, the fee will be deducted!"
"F***ing hell! You guys are ganging up!" Upon hearing the referee’s decision, Zhu Wu immediately got heated and started spouting foul language.
Seeing the other party getting anxious, Zhang Yang provocatively fanned the flames, "This guy clearly didn’t fish well himself and got upset seeing me catch fish. Now even cussing at the referee; this is not respecting the authority of the competition!
He just cursed me like that earlier, filthy mouth, like he ate shit!"
The referee saw Zhu Wu clearly dissatisfied with the ruling and was randomly cursing, immediately furrowing his brow: "I’m warning you one last time, if you insult the referee and the anglers again, you’ll be immediately thrown out of the fishing ground!"
"Get lost, motherf***er! I’m not fishing anymore! What a load of crap, just watch, after the competition, I’ll complain about you! And you, bastard, my bobber isn’t so easy to take, you’ll see, I’ll make sure you can’t leave Fengcheng!"
Zhu Wu’s anger was fully ignited, and he pointed at the referee and Zhang Yang, continuing with a tirade of insults.
At this point, Zhang Yang displayed more restraint; his goal of inciting was achieved, ensuring they’d be thrown out.
In the next second, the referee took the radio off his shoulder, pressed a button, and said, "Around Section B55, there’s a competing angler disobeying the referee’s ruling, insulting and threatening the angler and the referee, requesting security to come over to assist with handling it!"
There was a response from the speaker, "Received, heading over!"
In less than a minute, a few burly men in matching uniforms arrived.
The referee who had been insulted pointed at Zhu Wu and said, "It’s him! I now declare, according to the violation penalty provisions of the competition rules, that angler no. 55 has severely violated the competition rules, and ignoring dissuasion, is now disqualified from the competition and will be removed from the venue!
You have three minutes to pack your personal belongings, after which, if you haven’t left, you will be forcibly removed!"
With several burly security personnel standing there, Zhu Wu was completely dumbfounded.
Usually, he was used to imposing, and people didn’t usually fuss over his dirty talk. But now, the referee wasn’t indulging his faults and directly disqualified him!
