Chapter 944 Finally in the Water
The group exchanged glances and nodded in unison: "For safety's sake, let's persuade the president to take his wife away as soon as possible, and cancel today's scuba diving!"
They then quickly went to Ji Xiuhan's side.
Ji Xiuhan was shocked to see that the group was soaking wet and had footprints on their faces.
Soon, a bodyguard whispered in his ear what had just happened.
Ji Xiuhan's brows furrowed more and more as he listened: "It seems that the person who wants to kill me is still determined. This time, they've sent a top-tier assassin, far superior to the previous ones!"
His eyes flashed with a cold light; if he hadn't been wearing sunglasses, he would have certainly alerted others.
"President, why don't we just leave the Maldives and go back as soon as possible?"
The lead bodyguard cautiously made the suggestion.
"You mean, cancel the remaining three or four days of the trip and go straight back?"
Ji Xiuhan's tone was icy.
"For safety's sake, Mr. President, we must do this now!"
I suspect that the person behind this sent not only the same person as before, but also other accomplices, all of whom are top-tier assassins.
These assassins are too ruthless. You and your wife are of such high status; if anything were to happen to you, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The bodyguard tried to persuade him further.
"Okay, I'll think about it again when I get back today."
Ji Xiuhan sighed softly, his gaze falling on Lu Wanqing, who was enthusiastically queuing up ahead. She was completely oblivious to what was happening here, her mind filled with anticipation for swimming in the ocean.
"President, how about we leave this island now and cancel today's scuba diving?"
The risks at sea are too great; we cannot completely eliminate all potential hazards!
The man continued to persuade him.
"This……"
Ji Xiuhan pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Wanqing again.
Just then, Lu Wanqing turned around and waved to him, excitedly shouting, "Honey, wait for me, I can queue up by myself! We said we'd have to have a blast today!"
His tone was full of joy.
"Today's underwater swimming will proceed as scheduled. Go and make arrangements now so that everyone who can swim can buy tickets and go into the water with us."
Besides, that assassin has already left and can't possibly come back.
Ji Xiuhan suddenly gave the order.
"Ok!"
The man also saw Lu Wanqing's eagerness to go scuba diving. Knowing that this "doting husband" president would never let his wife down, he sighed helplessly and immediately went to contact other people.
Soon, thirteen bodyguards who were good swimmers bought tickets and, under the coordination of their leader, were all arranged to go into the water in the same batch as Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing quickly returned from queuing and confirmed her time to go into the water, which was half an hour later.
Each dive lasts one hour, and the time from entering the water to reaching the shore should not exceed one hour. Furthermore, each group of people diving into the sea should not exceed fifty.
"Who are they? Didn't they see the queue and were already in the next batch to go into the water?"
Soon, some tourists noticed that something was wrong.
The thirteen bodyguards, who had not been in line before, appeared on the next list, prompting some to raise questions.
The moment this person spoke, it immediately attracted the attention of others, and discussions gradually spread.
All of this was observed by two assassins hiding in the shadows, who couldn't help but frown.
They had been told that only Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing went into the water, and there was no mention of any other bodyguards accompanying them.
Clearly, Ji Xiuhan became more vigilant after discovering the old ox, which is why he arranged for his bodyguards to go into the water with him, undoubtedly increasing the difficulty of their operation.
However, the idea of having others accompany them into the water was already in Lao Niu's plan, and he had also developed a response procedure. They just hadn't expected so many people to accompany them.
The reason why Ji Xiuhan didn't initially arrange for bodyguards to go into the water is quite simple.
Wearing only light clothing while swimming would expose Lu Wanqing's figure, and Ji Xiuhan didn't want his woman's beautiful figure to fall into the eyes of other men.
But now, for safety reasons, he has to make a compromise.
Even so, Ji Xiuhan still felt a strong sense of crisis. The assassins sent by the mastermind behind the scenes were becoming increasingly terrifying, and it seemed that they would not stop until they killed him.
Now, he doesn't need to think to know who the mastermind is; it must be Ye Boxiong, the head of the Ye family.
Only the Ye family has the resources to hire so many assassins, even going so far as to send out top-tier assassins.
Although he didn't understand the assassin industry, he knew that the more elite the assassin, the higher the price they would charge.
But for the Ye family, money has never been a problem.
"Ye Boxiong, it seems we are truly destined to be enemies to the death!"
"Since you've repeatedly attacked me, don't blame me for wiping out your entire Ye family in the future!"
Ji Xiuhan, who had been in a great mood these past two days, was now burning with rage.
Half an hour passed quickly, and with ten minutes left before going into the water, everyone went into the control room to change their equipment.
Deep-sea diving requires extremely high-quality equipment, especially respirators, which are of paramount importance.
Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing were led into a room by staff, who each gave them a set of equipment. The staff also explained in detail how to operate the equipment and emergency self-rescue measures.
In fact, these contents were being played on a loop on all the screens on the island, and everyone who was about to go into the water had watched them many times in advance.
Soon, Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing came out after changing their gear.
Ji Xiuhan's equipment was dark blue, while Lu Wanqing's was pink.
The staff had a good eye; they knew that young and beautiful girls like Lu Wanqing would look even more adorable and lively in colors like pink and light red.
But Ji Xiuhan was still uneasy, so he gave another wink to the person next to him.
The man was also wearing full gear, which was gray in color. He was a professional underwater swimmer and knew the equipment very well.
He immediately stepped forward and carefully inspected Ji Xiuhan's equipment from head to toe, and then meticulously checked Lu Wanqing's equipment to confirm that there were no hidden dangers.
The two assassins, Zhao Long and Qian Yao, kept their distance from Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing, especially Ji Xiuhan, whom they dared not even meet.
Now that they've changed into their diving gear, their appearance has changed drastically, with even their faces covered by masks. But they're still very careful, staying in the control room after changing their gear.
The two only reluctantly came out after the staff urged them that it was time to go into the water.
Ji Xiuhan's intuition was terrifying; they dared not take the risk.
When they came out, they saw Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing preparing to go into the water, while the thirteen bodyguards were scattered among the group of more than fifty people.
The two were overjoyed, finally able to escape Ji Xiuhan's gaze!
"Honey, come down quickly! Look, the leader has already dived into the water!"
In fact, Ji Xiuhan was still observing and wanted to go into the water later to see if there were any suspicious people among the fifty people.
Lu Wanqing was so excited that she kept chattering and pulled him to the front of the line.
For Lu Wanqing, this underwater swimming experience felt like a long-cherished wish, and she was filled with anticipation.
However, just as Ji Xiuhan was about to enter the water, he seemed to sense something and subconsciously glanced back, but found nothing suspicious.
When Zhao Long and Qian Yao saw Ji Xiuhan suddenly turn around, they almost instantly turned away to avoid his gaze.
As Ji Xiuhan entered the water, the two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with barely suppressed excitement!
