Otherwise, considering how much Gu Anrou values her own life, how could she be willing to be left behind and come back later!
"What does this have to do with us? She was just dawdling and didn't want to come back!"
The eldest uncle retorted instinctively.
If Gu Anrou had obediently come back with them without any objections back then, how could all those things have happened?
It was all Gu Anrou's own fault. It had nothing to do with him!
Huang Tonghai quickly chimed in, "That's right. Even if she were drowned by the sea, it would be her own doing!"
At this moment, they must not get themselves into any more trouble. If they were to be held responsible for another life, they would be in big trouble!
Seeing the two people who had just been fighting quickly unite.
Xu Qingqing knew they must have done something wrong. Her cold eyes swept over the two of them.
"If something happens to Gu Anrou, since you brought her out, you have to take responsibility!"
After saying that, Xu Qingqing didn't look at these two hypocritical people anymore. She took the binoculars, held an umbrella and stood on the deck, scanning around with the binoculars.
Although she had a feud with Gu Anrou, Xu Qingqing couldn't bear to see a living life drowned by the sea.
If she saw Gu Anrou, she would rush to her side as fast as she could and rescue her.
Gu Anrou wasn't wearing a diving suit. Her body was numb from the cold in the freezing sea water, but her strong will to survive drove her to wave her arms desperately against the waves and swim.
She still had a grudge to avenge. She couldn't die so aggrievedly in the sea.
Fortune favors the brave. Gu Anrou waved her arms desperately and finally saw that familiar white figure appear at the very edge of her vision.
She saw Xu Qingqing's tourist boat. She was going to be saved!
Gu Anrou swam forward with all her might. Xu Qingqing also saw Gu Anrou through the binoculars and immediately asked someone to row a lifeboat to pick her up.
When Gu Anrou was rescued, she was so cold that she was almost unconscious. Her face was blue and purple from the cold, and her lips were bloodless.
Her skin was swollen and pale from being soaked in the sea water, looking extremely terrifying.
Xu Qingqing was worried that she would freeze to death outside. Without caring about the sea water on her body, she wrapped a bath towel around her and let her into the cabin.
When the eldest uncle and Huang Tonghai saw Gu Anrou who wasn't drowned, they glanced at each other and saw the guilt in each other's eyes.
They wondered if Gu Anrou would tell others that they had left her alone.
Gu Anrou was shivering so much that her teeth were chattering and her lips were trembling. She didn't even care about the eldest uncle and Huang Tonghai. She sat around the air - conditioner, blowing the warm air and sipping hot tea in small sips.
Seeing that all the people had been rescued, Xu Qingqing asked the bodyguard to sail the boat to the shore immediately.
Da Hong was immediately unhappy when he heard they were leaving. He stared at the storm outside and couldn't take his eyes away.
His boat hadn't been found yet. How could they leave!
"Madam, my boat hasn't been found yet. We can't leave!"
Da Hong said anxiously.
Xu Qingqing looked at the completely dark sky outside. If they didn't leave soon, she didn't know if her yacht could withstand the storm.
Xu Qingqing casually picked up two life - buoys and put them into Da Hong and Xiao Hong's hands. She lifted her eyelids slightly, with no trace of sympathy in her tone.
"Consider these two life - buoys my gift to you. Go find your boat quickly."
Hearing Xu Qingqing's cold words, Da Hong and Xiao Hong were instantly stunned. According to their expectations, shouldn't Xu Qingqing help them find the boat?
"The storm outside is so fierce. How could we find the boat just by ourselves, especially since we have to swim?"
Da Hong argued with Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing wasn't angry. She hooked the corner of her lips, casually lowered her eyes, pointed at the dark sky outside, exuding an air of coldness that kept people at a distance.
"You're an old fisherman. Do you want all the people on my yacht to be buried with you by asking me to look for your boat in this kind of weather!"
Xu Qingqing believed that her bodyguard's boating skills were excellent, but she didn't trust the ruthless nature.
What if they encountered a tornado?
What if they hit a reef?
There were too many uncertainties in the dark night. She didn't have the courage to take such a risk.
Huang Tonghai, who had been silent for a while, raised his hand tremblingly and said,
"Da Hong... your boat was accidentally hit by me on a rock and then smashed by the waves. I'm afraid all you'll find when you go back is a pile of broken wooden boards."
Hearing this, Da Hong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. That was the boat left to him by his father, and it was just ruined by Huang Tonghai!
"You bastard! You pay me for my boat!" Da Hong rushed at Huang Tonghai and tightly grabbed his neck.
Huang Tonghai's eyes rolled back from being choked. His whole face was swollen like a purple eggplant, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Asshole, let me go!"
Huang Tonghai kicked Da Hong.
Seeing the two of them fighting again, Xu Qingqing wasn't going to tolerate them. She pressed down the corner of her lips, exuding an undeniable coldness.
"If you keep fighting, get off the boat!"
Xu Qingqing's words immediately stopped the two who were entangled. Xu Qingqing raised her hand to signal the boat to set sail.
As for how to handle this matter, it was between Huang Tonghai and Da Hong. It had nothing to do with her.
It was like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai. One was willing to beat and the other was willing to be beaten.
The yacht sailed out of the storm area. The sky gradually cleared up. The big sun hung in the sky, and the sky was cloudless. It was like a different world from the darkness just now.
Feeling the warm sun shining on her body, Xu Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there had been a huge misunderstanding, at least they had returned safely.
Wang Lide had already called Xiao He and asked her to wait at the dock. Whether the cultural relics stolen by Huang Tonghai and the others were real or fake, it was most appropriate to hand them over to the police.
Wang Lide also asked his other colleagues.
After many contacts, they found that the sunken ship with the treasures had already been salvaged and sold by local fishermen, and there was still no trace of it recently.
"So it was stolen long ago!"
Wang Lide shared the news with the members of the Special Cultural Relics Action Team, his tone full of emotion.
They had worked in vain and still failed to protect the cultural relics.
"It's better to be prepared,"
Xu Qingqing understood Wang Lide's disappointment. She smiled and comforted him. Seeing that Gu Yuan and Chen Jiashu were depressed because they hadn't salvaged any treasures, she proposed to go for hot pot with a smile.
"We've been blowing the sea breeze on the sea for so long. Let's go for hot pot."
Saying that, Xu Qingqing greeted Uncle Meng and the other bodyguards, "It's really been hard on everyone today. If you don't mind, I'll treat you to hot pot to ward off the cold."
Uncle Meng declined a few times, but since Xu Qingqing was so eager to show her gratitude, Uncle Meng had no choice but to take the bodyguards to have hot pot.
Watching Gu Anrou and the others being taken away in the car by Xiao He, Xu Qingqing finally left with peace of mind.
When they arrived at Daliang Hot Pot Restaurant, since everyone there was not afraid of spicy food, Xu Qingqing ordered the spiciest hot - pot base.
