Chapter 511 is not bad, Ah Ning is not...
Wu Xie looked at A Ning and Rabbit with some anxiety and said, "Such a big company like yours, shouldn't you immediately organize people to go to the rescue when something happens?"
The bald man said with a wry smile, "Unfortunately, we've searched. Our ship searched the area where they disappeared 48 hours ago, but we found nothing. It's as if the ship... vanished into thin air."
He spoke with a strange expression, seemingly not entirely convinced of his own words, and added, "Of course, a ship can't just disappear into thin air. I think it might have encountered some kind of accident."
Looking at Wu Xie, who was deep in thought with a furrowed brow, A Ning said, "According to the information we have, your third uncle and the people on the ship had already located the exact location of the ancient ruins three hours before the ship disappeared and were making preparations to enter. Therefore, based on the timeline, your third uncle should not have been on the ship when it disappeared, but rather in the underwater ruins..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xie's face turned extremely ugly, and he was suddenly shocked. He understood what A Ning meant. In other words, his third uncle had entered the underwater ruins, but the support ships at sea had suddenly disappeared. Even if they were able to get out safely, they would be in a dilemma—there were no ships on the sea.
This is indeed a very tricky matter.
Seeing the change in Wu Xie's expression, A Ning continued, "We estimate that the research vessel may have been hijacked by pirates. If your third uncle and the other two researchers had already entered the ruins at that time, they might have survived. However, because they lost sea support, their situation wouldn't have been much better. You know, they can't swim back."
Wu Xie frowned and asked, "After they complete their investigation, they should return the way they came. At that time, your rescue ship should be able to find them, right?"
After a moment of silence, Ah Ning said, "In fact, during the discussion before going into the sea, Wu Sansheng estimated that there was a certain amount of air in this underwater ruin. If they found that the air was breathable, they would stay inside for a while to prepare for a second entry. So, it is very likely that the people in the ruin are still unaware that the ship above has disappeared."
"You mean, Uncle Three already knows how to enter this underwater tomb?" Wu Xie asked, somewhat surprised.
Ah Ning shook her head indifferently and said, "I'm not an expert in this field, I don't know what you're talking about."
Looking at A Ning's expression, which didn't seem to be lying, Wu Xie smiled wryly, feeling a bit of a headache. He then asked them, "So, the real reason you went to find someone to 'trick' the lama was to actually find someone?"
The bald man said, "Yes, we plan to send another team down to bring the people inside back up."
At this moment, Fatty Wang spoke up with a laugh: "There's no need. The people inside will come out on their own after they finish their work. You just need to wait for them on the nearby sea."
The bald man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That's impossible now, because a low-pressure system has suddenly appeared in that area, and soon, that sea area will..."
"What will happen?" Fatty Wang asked, frowning.
“If a tropical storm occurs, and it gets even slightly stronger, who knows what kind of typhoon it will become? In such weather conditions, let alone rescue, it would be impossible to even stop the ship there,” Aning said calmly.
"Damn it—this really is a case of bad luck piling on bad luck." Fatty Wang couldn't help but swear.
The bald man continued, "We estimate that we have at least five more days. The most troublesome situation right now is not the weather at sea, but that we don't know where the entrance to the ruins is. The last area of sea that the GPS located is three square nautical miles. We need an expert to help us find the exact location of the ruins."
The room fell silent. Wang Pangzi, the tomb raider who only had a nominal title and a superficial understanding of tomb location, was extremely nervous. He couldn't even figure out the tombs on the ground, let alone those in the sea. So, he looked at Wu Xie with hopeful eyes.
In any case, Wu Xie comes from a family with a long tradition of tomb raiding, and his knowledge and skills are definitely better than those of this half-baked tomb raider.
However, Wu Xie only knows his own limitations. His knowledge of tomb raiding comes entirely from the tomb raiding notes left by his grandfather, and he is completely unfamiliar with advanced techniques such as gold location and digging.
However, he always felt that there was something strange about what Aning and Baldy were talking about, as if they were deliberately hiding something.
"Give me a straight answer, are you two going to take this job or not? If not, we'll find someone else." A-Ning looked at Wu Xie, who was deep in thought and hesitant, and sneered inwardly.
Wu Sansheng has disappeared, so she doesn't believe Wu Xie would remain indifferent. As for Fatty Wang, given their previous cooperation with the Lu Palace, she still has some trust in Fatty Wang's skills and abilities.
"Do I have any other choice?" Wu Xie said with a wry smile. His uncle's safety was at stake, so he had no choice but to make this trip.
"Don't rush, let's talk about the price first. This is underwater and typhoon-prone, the risks are so high, is 500,000 per person too little?" Fatty Wang's eyes darted around, interrupting Wu Xie's words, and he looked at A Ning with a smirk.
Ah Ning looked at Fatty Wang with a cold and aloof expression, her bright and sharp eyes saying, "You can refuse, we'll just find someone else."
Then, he looked at the man with the big gold tooth who had been smiling and hadn't said a word, and said, "Mr. Jin, can you help us find other experts? Real experts!"
"Haha, of course, but Miss Ning, you get what you pay for. If you want the top experts in the industry, then it won't be this price..."
"Master Jin, don't..." Fatty Wang panicked upon hearing this and hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Beautiful lady, we've been through life and death together after all, you don't have to be so heartless. It's just a small suggestion, if you don't agree, that's fine too. Fifty thousand it is, I'll take this deal." A Ning looked at Wu Xie calmly, seemingly waiting for his decision.
Wu Xie said with a wry smile, "Before going to Xisha, I have to go back to Hangzhou to see if my third uncle has left any clues or information."
“Okay, but we have to set sail in two days, so you only have two days. We’ll meet in Hainan.” After saying that, A Ning stood up, took out a card, and handed it to Wu Xie, saying, “When you get to Hainan, give me a call, and I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
After saying that, A Ning walked away somewhat awkwardly. Fatty Wang watched her back with a thoughtful look on his face. After A Ning and her group left, he chuckled and said to Wu Xie, "Tianzhen, have you noticed that this little girl has changed quite a bit since the last time we met?"
Wu Xie looked bewildered, blinking his innocent big eyes at Fatty Wang and asking, "What's changed? Is it colder?"
Fatty Wang grinned slyly and whispered something in Wu Xie's ear. Wu Xie's eyes widened in shock as he looked at Fatty Wang and said, "You could even tell that?"
"Of course, I've done my research, Fatty, and I'm absolutely certain I didn't make a mistake. She was definitely... you know..." Fatty Wang chuckled slyly.
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang looked at each other with mixed feelings, and both thought of Young Master Gao. However, Wu Xie was more curious about how Fatty Wang had figured it out.
"Tell me, how did you figure that out?"
"Hehe, this is my exclusive specialty..."
"Hurry up and tell me, stop keeping me in suspense!"
"Hehe, the key to judging whether a woman is still a woman is to look at how she walks. Does her buttocks sway up and down, and tremble unconsciously from side to side and back to back, without being in sync with her waist?"
"Ah Ning is clearly not the same anymore; her waist and hips are completely out of proportion..." Fatty Wang squinted, stroked his chin, and analyzed in a very lewd manner.
Wu Xie's lips twitched a few times as he looked at Fatty Wang and said with a wry smile, "That's it? Have you forgotten that A Ning's leg is injured? It hasn't been that long, the injury shouldn't be fully healed yet."
"Of course I haven't forgotten. It's not just her walking posture, but also her eyebrows and eyes. Didn't you notice that her eyes aren't as clear as they were the last time I saw her? I'm 100% sure she's been... well, you know... by Young Master Gao..." As he spoke, Fatty Wang clapped his hands smugly.
Wu Xie's heart skipped a beat, and he shook his head with a bitter smile, a mixture of emotions. Regardless of whether Fatty's appraisal skills were genuine or not, given that young master Gao's domineering nature and lecherousness, A Ning was definitely not a good person.
There's no way to escape without shedding a layer of skin.
"Let's go, come back to Hangzhou with me first." Wu Xie sighed inwardly, stood up and said to Fatty Wang.
"Ah."
. . . . . .
"Di Di-"
Gao Dongxu, who was holding Shen Yan who was taking a nap, opened his eyes when he heard the text message notification. He picked up his phone, checked the message from Da Jinya, and frowned slightly.
He tossed his phone aside and looked down at Shen Yan, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. Sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, casting dappled golden shadows on Shen Yan's eyelashes, which trembled slightly with each breath. His red lips were lightly pursed, revealing a hint of moist crimson, and the lines of his neck were partially hidden in the loose collar, appearing and disappearing with the rise and fall of his heart.
Gao Dongxu inhaled the faint scent of shampoo in her hair, mixed with the warmth emanating from her body. He vaguely recalled the way her beautiful eyes were red and watery as she glared at him last night—now, those eyes were closed quietly, revealing an almost innocent softness.
Two more days, enough time for me to indulge in Yaya's antics to my heart's content.
After a day and a night of rest, Gao Dongxu woke up the next morning and immediately called Shen Yan, who was still sleepy, to study, so that they could review what they had learned and learn something new.
Although learning requires a gradual approach and one cannot become fat overnight, after reflecting on the hardships and appreciating the present, Shen Yan unleashed tremendous potential, putting knowledge into practice and gradually improving.
Looking at yet another female poet he had taught who had become a learned scholar, Gao Dongxu felt extremely proud and gratified.
He made up his mind to work overtime for the next two days to give Shen Yan extra tutoring and catch up on all the knowledge he had missed.
