Chapter 945 The Hunt Is About to Begin
"Am I being too sensitive, or has an assassin really infiltrated the area?"
As Ji Xiuhan dived into the water to chase after Lu Wanqing, he thought to himself.
Now all divers wear hoods, so even if an assassin were to infiltrate, their dangerous aura would be undetectable, especially once they are underwater.
"No matter what, I must be fully prepared this time. I absolutely cannot let them succeed, and I cannot let my woman leave disappointed."
Besides, with thirteen bodyguards following them, even if there were assassins, so what? Could they possibly break through their defenses?
Ji Xiuhan, who was feeling uneasy, gradually calmed down when he thought of the bodyguards he had arranged.
After entering the water, watching Lu Wanqing swim downwards, her graceful body wrapped in the swimsuit made her appear even more lithe and slender in the water, making him want to pull her into his arms.
Ji Xiuhan immediately sped up and rushed towards Lu Wanqing.
Just then, several bodyguards followed, which made him feel even more at ease.
"Honey, honey, why are you so slow?"
"Catch up with me! Let's speed up our dive and be the first to reach the deepest part of the ocean!"
Just as Ji Xiuhan was making plans in his mind, he heard a gurgling sound in his ear. It was Lu Wanqing's voice coming through the microphone.
However, after entering the water, her voice completely changed, and Lu Wanqing's clear voice could no longer be heard.
"Honey, I'm right behind you, I'll catch up with you soon!"
Ji Xiuhan sped up.
After Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing went into the water, the thirteen bodyguards formed a fan shape and sped towards them.
This was pre-arranged by the bodyguards: once they entered the seabed, they would form a huge fan or encirclement to protect Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing in the middle, as this was the only way to maximize their protective effect.
After all, the reaction speed is much slower in water, so you absolutely cannot stray too far from them.
Now that everyone is wearing hoods, the president's wife can't recognize them at all, so there's no need to be timid anymore.
But soon, the bodyguards began to complain bitterly.
Upon entering the seabed, they discovered that the president's wife was diving towards the seabed as quickly as a fish, and even their own president's speed was so fast that they could hardly keep up.
The leader quickly gestured to the group, signaling those who were faster to catch up first.
"How could those two be so fast? Especially that woman, she was like a moray eel!"
"They're going straight into the sea; are they going to dive to the deepest part?"
Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing were not the first to go into the water, but their sudden acceleration towards the seabed quickly attracted the attention of others, who were all very curious about Lu Wanqing.
"And why are there so many people following them? Are they working together?"
"Are those people behind the bodyguards protecting the two people in front?"
Some people found it strange.
After all, although these tourists who went into the water really wanted to dive down to the seabed and have a close encounter with the deep ocean, most of them had never been a swimmer before, and their swimming skills were generally average. So most of them stayed at the upper level and stopped going down after descending a few meters.
Therefore, everyone was greatly shocked and curious about Ji Xiuhan and his group.
Meanwhile, Zhao Long and Qian Yao were overjoyed to see Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing go into the water. They had finally escaped Ji Xiuhan's notice, and this was a golden opportunity!
Once they reach the seabed, it will be their domain.
What they were most worried about was Ji Xiuhan's perception. This person's intuition was too sharp, and once they appeared in front of him, their identity might be exposed.
But things are different underwater. Not only do they wear masks, but even if they have an undeniable killer aura, Ji Xiuhan can't detect it in the seawater.
To avoid Ji Xiuhan, they stayed at the back of the line. When they entered the water, they found that Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing had already sunk deep into the sea, their figures becoming very small.
The two were particularly surprised by the swimming speed of the two men, who had not expected that these two were such excellent swimmers and could be so fast.
Of course, even if the two were swimming champions, they were nothing special in the eyes of Zhao Long and Qian Yao, two assassins who were skilled in underwater assassinations.
What made them frown was that Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing were followed by more than a dozen people, who were undoubtedly bodyguards, forming a fan-shaped protective barrier to catch up with them, thus preventing them from getting close.
Soon, they noticed that among the group of fifty divers, very few were actually good swimmers, and most of them didn't even dare to dive into the deep sea.
“This is not a solution. The more people who go into the deep sea, the easier it will be for us to blend in with the crowd and get closer to Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing.”
To kill the two men underwater, they had to get close, since they didn't have guns and couldn't shoot them from a distance.
Because the scenic area conducted a special safety check when they changed into their diving equipment, they were not allowed to carry dangerous items such as knives and guns. This was a necessary precaution taken by the scenic area for safety.
Of course, even if the scenic area didn't conduct these checks, Ji Xiuhan would still ask them to increase the number of checks.
If an assassin were to actually dive to the ocean floor with a gun, there would be no need to get close; they could simply fire from a distance.
The water resistance at the bottom of the sea is extremely high, making it impossible to avoid; one can only wait to die.
However, no matter how thorough the inspections at the scenic area are, these super killers always have ways to find a way out.
Although they couldn't bring guns in, they still brought necessary assassination tools that security personnel could completely avoid detecting.
This is just a tourist attraction, unlike airlines or customs checkpoints, so the security personnel here are generally not very competent.
The problem is that they need to get close to Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing before they can make a move.
The two exchanged a glance, blended into the crowd, and began to incite others.
They spoke eloquently about the benefits of underwater diving, the beauty of the coral reefs, and even promoted the scenic area, claiming it was the safest place, with numerous lifeguards on standby who would quickly rescue anyone in distress.
Although the sound was intermittent as it traveled underwater, many people still heard it.
Those who were still hesitant looked at the many people watching them from a distance on the seabed. They were the rescue personnel from the scenic area. They nodded slightly and, led by one of them, began to dive into the sea.
As Zhao Long and Qian Yao accompanied these people as they slowly descended deeper into the depths, they continued to urge them on.
Although the deeper they went into the ocean, the more indistinct the sound from the microphone became, their encouragement kept the people going.
Seeing more and more people entering the deep sea, Zhao Long and Qian Yao were overjoyed. Then, according to the plan, they slowly approached Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing.
They had been waiting for many days and made thorough preparations. They had already checked the underwater conditions of this diving area many times and were extremely familiar with them.
The goal was to strike Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing dead in one blow and obtain the two hundred million.
Although they are super assassins who have completed countless missions and earned a lot of bounties in their lives, two hundred million is still an astronomical figure for them.
Once they complete this task, they can retire from the underworld and enjoy their golden years.
The two became more and more excited as they thought about it, and they moved even faster, as if they could already see mountains of banknotes.
