C29 (1/2)
”What a mess. How could you let an ordinary person go down there to pick up the corpses? Do you still remember the duties of being a police officer?” On the shore, Captain Xia Qiu reprimanded them in front of the crowd.
”Didn't you say he was the descendant of the bone-touching pie? I thought he should be stronger than ordinary people, and he asked for it himself. I didn't force him, and I didn't know it would turn out like this …” Sun Yixiang explained, feeling wronged.
”You still dare to quibble? There's an expert in the field of martial arts. These people often only have certain specialties. Their comprehensive abilities are definitely not as good as us police officers …”
”... ”Before, I had thought that you were just being a bit willful, or at least that your ability to handle matters was not weak. But now, it seems that I have truly seen wrongly. No wonder Xiang Fei had been so stubborn in not agreeing to come with you. I was the one who harmed him …” Captain Xia Qiu said with sorrow.
”You said he didn't want to? He actually dared to refuse? Why wouldn't he be willing? ” When Sun Yixiang heard that Xiang Fei was not willing to cooperate with him previously, her heart was filled with grievance and confusion.
”That's not the point. To be honest, other than your looks being a bit better, is there anything else that's worthy of attention and recognition? It's normal that he doesn't want to be with you!” Xia Qiu said without any trace of politeness.
Then, he quickly said to the salvage team, ”Send someone to scout the area and see what's going on underwater. You must be careful of the safety. I don't want any more accidents to occur!”
Captain, based on what Sun Yixiang said, this whirlpool suddenly appeared, everything happened so suddenly …. A young male member saw that Captain Xia Qiu had been reprimanding them and felt his heart ache, hence he took the opportunity to advise him.
”Don't help her speak up. Who doesn't know that you like her and like people isn't wrong, but for her to do something, you have to learn to differentiate right from wrong!” With Captain Xia Qiu's temper, he could act easily.
”Yes, yes, Captain's lecturing is really …” Captain, look, the whirlpool might have collapsed and connected the two parties to the underground river. In that case, even a professional salvage team member could get into trouble. If the previous one was Xiang Xiang, then … ” This male member who liked Sun Yixiang said carefully.
”What do you mean? ”Everyone is equal in front of me, whether he is a mutant of the martial world or the daughter of the bureau chief. It is our duty to always stand in front of the masses and fight in times of danger.” Xia Qiu said with a stern expression.
After Xia Qiu finished lecturing the man named Ma Liangcai, she saw that the salvage team was already prepared, so she started to take off her clothes and said: ”The situation is very complicated, I'm good at swimming, so I'll go down with you guys.”
Upon hearing this, all the other members of the team became anxious and shouted in unison, ”Captain, don't act recklessly. We're the first ones who should go down if you're old!”
”Bullshit! I'm not even forty yet, and I'm still in my middle years of fighting. How am I old!” Xia Qiu scolded in exasperation.
”Captain Xia, don't fight anymore, we are the professionals, we will be the first to go out. Don't worry, if there's anything we can't do, we will come back immediately and report to you about the situation first. We will take action after we have further instructions.” The dark, short, muscular leader of the salvage team stood up and said.
Seeing that everyone was against going into the water, and that the salvage team captain had said the same thing, and that one person was indeed needed to sit down and lead the way, Captain Xia Qiu could only sigh and say sorrowfully: ”Try your best to bring back both their corpses. One was a martyr, and the other was a … ”Heroes are worth it for us to spend so much effort to treat them kindly …”
”Understood, I guarantee that I will complete the mission!” The salvage team captain called Chen Shuisheng promised solemnly.
The first wave was made up by two salvage team members, who went into the water with Chen Shuisheng personally leading the team.
However, the two of them soon emerged from the water.
”Captain Xia, there is a hole in the ground below, it's very deep, it formed a strong whirlpool, the water current is very strong, it's hard for normal people to break free, for safety, I need to change my diving equipment.” Chen Shuisheng said.
Hearing this, Captain Xia Qiu's eyes darkened. In the end, the odds were against them, for a person to enter such a temporary underground cave like this, the chance of him surviving due to the lack of air was simply too small.
Sun Yixiang had originally been rather dissatisfied with Xiang Fei's excuse, but after hearing these words, although he clearly knew that the result would be the same, he felt the same in his heart.
Thinking about how the person he was arguing with a moment ago could turn into a living corpse the next moment, Sun Yixiang's heart felt extremely tormented.
In fact, before they left, Captain Xia Qiu was prepared to arrange for Ma Liangcai to go with her, but she was afraid that this colleague who had good feelings for his would distract his, so he strongly opposed them, resulting in the current situation.
She thought back. If there had been one more person on the scene, the outcome would have been different. One would have called the police and asked for help, while the other would have brought the rope down to check on the situation and provide timely assistance.
When she saw that huge whirlpool, the first thing she thought of was to ask the captain for help, instead of bringing a rope with her and jumping down to save her.
Sensing the look in everyone's eyes as they looked at him, Sun Yixiang felt a little ashamed of herself. She realized that perhaps it was her stubbornness and cowardice that harmed Xiang Fei.
