Chapter 222: Heart and Eye Battle

on the water.

When Han Fei rushed out of the sea level, he saw Lu Xiaoli on the paddle board, looking around anxiously.

Lu Xiaoli was trying hard to find them, and she saw Han Fei as soon as he showed up.

Seeing Han Fei dragging Shu Yi, who had obviously lost consciousness and fallen into a coma, Lu Xiaoli immediately handed over the paddle, motioning Han Fei to use the force to quickly get on the board.

Even if Han Fei was very strong, it would be difficult to lift an adult woman ashore when there was nothing to step on in the water. Moreover, he had just gone into the water to rescue someone, which consumed a lot of physical strength.

Indeed, Lu Xiaoli’s strength and physical strength are definitely not that good compared to men, but now she can’t help.

Putting aside the fact that Han Fei was once her idol, no matter how many negative scandals Shu Yi has, her crime does not deserve the death penalty. A living life has a half-minute better chance of survival if it can get ashore half a minute earlier.

However, Lu Xiaoli never expected that Han Fei just grabbed the oar. A few seconds after he grabbed it, a strong force came along the oar shaft, almost pulling her into the water!

She reacted quickly, changing from holding the pole with both hands to holding it with one hand. With her other hand, she firmly grasped the handrail on the board opposite to Han Fei, and stuck her foot into the gap between the handrails on Han Fei and Shu Yi’s side, exerting force in the opposite direction. Her posture was almost like she was lying horizontally on the paddle board.

This posture can maximize the force. While holding the other side, the handrails can be used to clamp the feet to stabilize the body. Reverse force can also avoid unbalanced force and direct capsizing. In addition, the paddle board is equipped with an anti-slip pad in the middle, which has strong friction.

The effect was obvious. Han Fei’s strength was repeated twice, but he still failed to pull her and the board down to the bottom of the water.

But this is only a temporary effect.

Not to mention whether she could resist that force later, in just a few seconds, Lu Xiaoli’s face had turned red and her eyes were bloodshot. If she was pulled any longer, the capillaries on her face might burst. Moreover, although the anti-slip mat was effective, even through the clothes, Lu Xiaoli could feel that her skin that was in contact with the anti-slip mat was about to be worn out.

This is still a small matter, the most important thing is…

“Han… Fei… I can’t catch you anymore!”

Lu Xiaoli squeezed out these words from between her teeth.

The oar has not fallen out of her hand yet, entirely because she is holding the part of the pole with the greatest friction. It has a design that is easy for fingers to grip, and is also equipped with anti-slip materials and hand guards. However, human grip strength is limited, and explosive power and endurance cannot be compared together.

Just because she can hold on for ten seconds doesn’t mean she can hold on for a minute.

She had a feeling that in a few seconds the oar would be pulled out of her hand!
Han Fei shouted:
“let go!”

Lu Xiaoli almost subconsciously loosened her hands, both of them.

The rest of her body hadn’t reacted yet, so after letting go, Lu Xiaoli almost fell into the water to the other side. Fortunately, her feet were still hooked on the handrail, and she only slid a little distance before being bounced back by her own weight.

Han Fei fished Shu Yi out with one hand and grabbed the oar with the other. The pole slid through his hand very smoothly. In a blink of an eye, he accurately grasped the holding position, and then stabbed it hard into the water with his backhand!

What happens underwater, no one can see because all the cameras are not down there.

The fixed camera on the paddle board could only capture Lu Xiaoli struggling to pull Han Fei, and the hidden camera on Han Fei’s chest could only capture Lu Xiaoli and Shu Yi facing them. On the contrary, the lens of the other paddle board that had flipped over, which was completely twisted by Ren Tuo, was half above the water and half underwater. Unfortunately, the lens was too close to Han Fei, so it could only capture his upper body.

Lu Xiaoli’s perspective was slightly different. She could see that Han Fei had a dagger in his mouth, which came from nowhere, and his hands were occupied by Shu Yi and the oars. It seemed that he was tripped by something and couldn’t get on the board. He was also a little exhausted. The only way was to use the force to fight against the thing under the water. He grabbed the paddle board to deal with the thing below.

Everyone’s hearts were in suspense.

Fortunately, Han Fei was reliable. After he paddled, the thing below stopped moving. Then he took his last breath and immediately grabbed Shu Yi and swam towards the paddle board. He also pulled the life jacket covering the paddle board next to him to the surface of the water and threw it onto his own paddle board.

Han Fei panted, held the edge of the paddle board and said:

“You…you put this on her later to avoid any accidents. I’ll push her up first.”

He put his upper body into the water again, and then forcibly carried Shu Yi across his shoulders and pressed her against the paddle board. Lu Xiaoli also pulled Shu Yi’s arms and legs with one hand, and with all her strength, she dragged Shu Yi onto the board and laid her flat.

When everything was over, Lu Xiaoli discovered that the dagger that was just in Han Fei’s mouth was gone, but she didn’t say anything and didn’t ask anything.

Finally it was done, and the two people who were still awake on the water were so tired that their limbs were limp.

For a moment, Han Fei didn’t have the strength to climb onto the paddle board, and Lu Xiaoli on the board didn’t have the strength to pull him up anymore. Both of them had buzzing sounds in their ears, making them wonder if they were suffering from tinnitus due to exhaustion.

But when they turned around, they found that there was a lifeboat riding the wind and waves not far away, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long while, I realized it was the sound of a motor. I was scared to death.

“Han Fei, please come up quickly… I don’t know how to do artificial respiration or CPR!”

Lu Xiaoli recovered a little and waved to Han Fei who was still in the water:
“You’ve learned it before, why don’t you try it?”

Shu Yi, who had just been rescued, was still unconscious on the board. Lu Xiaoli didn’t know how to check her physical condition. She tried to feel her breath, and it seemed like she was breathing and not breathing. She then felt her pulse, and it was also vague. She was really confused and could only ask Han Fei.

Han Fei in the water almost rolled his eyes.

He said speechlessly:

“This board is only this big. It’s OK for two people to climb on it. If I climb on top, I’ll either have to flip over while climbing, or the whole board will slowly sink.”

“Don’t say you go in the water and let me get out. That’s impossible. You’ve seen that it’s not safe in the water. You’re probably not as good at swimming as I am. And even if I get out, how can I perform CPR on this broken board? Don’t let the board flip over while you’re pressing on it!”

“The lifeboat is almost here. If we stay quiet, we can save her life. But if we do, we might all die here.”

Lu Xiaoli hesitated to speak, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the truth.

So she slapped her head and changed the subject:

“Hey, speaking of this, what on earth is under the water that caused you to be so upset? Also, Shu Yi has come up, where is Ren Tuo? Nothing will happen to him, right…”

The more she spoke, the lower Lu Xiaoli’s voice became.

Because Han Fei’s complexion in the water became visibly worse.

Before he could say anything, there was a splash on the water surface and another head popped out. It was Ren Tuo!
Lu Xiaoli had no idea what happened to them underwater, nor did she know Ren Tuo’s specific situation. Seeing that he was fine, she was surprised and said:
“Rentuo, are you okay? Where’s your life jacket? Why is it missing?”

“Hey, even though the board next to it has flipped over, this design should be able to be used on both sides. It’s just that the propeller is flipped up and can’t be moved. You two should stay in the water. Both of you should get on that board and balance the weight. You should be able to get out!”

Ren Tuo’s face was pale, and there was a mark on his face that he couldn’t figure out what it was made of. It covered most of his face, and the red mark was particularly conspicuous against his current complexion.

He forced a smile, shook his head and said:
“No, I’m a little injured, and there was some accident underwater. I’d better wait for the lifeboat to arrive and then go on board directly. It’s not convenient now.”

Ren Tuo’s life jacket was also covered under the board next to him, but Han Fei was not so kind to help him get it. His current physical condition did not allow him to dive with one hand. But compared to climbing onto the paddle board with one hand, it was not unacceptable to just soak in the water.

Lu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment and couldn’t think of a better solution.

Although she was not familiar with Ren Tuo at all, she still maintained humanitarian concern and planned to ask him what injuries he had suffered and whether he had seen blood. After all, this was in the sea, and if the smell of blood attracted sharks or something, regardless of whether the sharks thought human meat was sour and smelly and unpalatable, if a shark took a few bites to taste it, it would definitely not survive.

She had prepared a speech in her mind, but it was obvious that it was not enough.

Because Ren Tuo had no intention of continuing to talk to her, he turned his head and looked at Han Fei, raised his eyebrows and smiled:

“Chat?”

Han Fei had rested enough, and put the dagger back into its sheath while entering the water to carry the person.

But he can still take it out anytime he wants.

Ren Tuo was truly unarmed, and it seemed that he was seriously injured by the paddle just now. It was difficult for him to swim, and he could only hold on to the overturned paddle board with one hand. Even though the injured hand was underwater, the water here was clear, and Han Fei could see that the posture of the hand was a little distorted. It was probably dislocated if not broken.

If he really wanted to take action, Han Fei was not worried at all that he could hurt anyone.

Even if Ren Tuo wanted to overturn their paddle boards, it would be basically impossible for him to do so in his current state. Moreover, Han Fei was still here. How could he succeed?
So Han Fei was not at all nervous and nodded readily:
“What do you want to talk about?”

Ren Tuo raised his chin and pointed at the microphone on his chest, then pointed at the one on his own chest. The meaning was self-evident.

After two seconds of silence, Han Fei stretched out his hand towards Ren Tuo’s collar. Ren Tuo did not dodge or evade. It was unknown whether he was playing tough or he knew that Han Fei would not do it in front of the camera. Anyway, he was very calm.

The fact was just as he expected. Han Fei just reached out and pulled off his microphone, then pulled off his own, and threw it to Lu Xiaoli on the board next to him. The latter tried to catch it in a panic and almost dropped it into the water.

Then, Ren Tuo took the initiative to swim a little further away from the paddle board, relying only on his legs and one hand, and turned back to signal Han Fei to follow.

They found a position that was neither too far nor too close to the paddle board, where they could talk in a low voice without being heard by Lu Xiaoli and the microphone. Then they stopped and turned their backs to the camera, avoiding even the possibility of their lip reading being captured.

Han Fei slowly swung his legs in the water, paddling with his hands from time to time, and said calmly:
“What do you want to say? Why did you want Shu Yi to die just now?”

“Oh, no, you not only want Shu Yi to die, you also want to kill me.”

Ren Tuo smiled, and his smile was sincere:
“How can you tell that I want to kill someone?”

“The camera never captured what I did to Shuyi. Besides, the reason I wanted to drag Shuyi away just now was because I was worried that you would be too weak and short of oxygen after the ventilation and couldn’t pull her. That’s why I wanted to go over and pull her. It’s just that I’m not very professional and don’t know how to do it best, so I made some mistakes during the operation.”

“Han Fei, you can’t be so arbitrary and put such a big accusation on me. You have to have evidence to slander someone.”

Han Fei stared at him, and suddenly realized that, whether in the fixed camera view or the hidden camera view on Han Fei’s chest, Ren Tuo had never actually killed him or Shu Yi.

He had chosen the camera on his body, and he knew its functions very well. He knew that the camera’s viewing angle was not very wide. After all, it was a hidden camera, and it was good enough to be able to take clear pictures. Could it be possible to have a wide-angle function? That was a joke.

Just now, underwater, when Ren Tuo came to stop him from rescuing people for the first time, he did pull Shu Yi away. However, apart from pulling the person, he did not make any extra movements. Due to Han Fei’s prediction, he was unable to completely throw the person into the water below. This can only be explained by his mouth.

If Ren Tuo insisted on explaining it this way, who could say he attempted murder?
He was just “unprofessional in saving people”.

Han Fei’s prediction was very accurate and he didn’t give Ren Tuo any chance. However, it was precisely because his prediction was so accurate that Ren Tuo had many excuses to explain all his actions.

For example, why did he go around behind Han Fei after failing to throw the person?

Because he wanted to help pull Han Fei and Shu Yi up.

For example, why did he grab Han Fei’s feet after he surfaced?
Because he had cramps, was injured, and was very panicked, he subconsciously looked for floating objects, which is the instinct of a drowning person.

For example, why did Ren Tuo’s hand get injured?

Because there was a sailfish, tuna or swordfish in the place that the underwater camera didn’t capture, it could be any fast fish with sharp parts, which hit him. Or he could turn the tables and say that he grabbed Han Fei and wanted to ask for help, but was hit with a paddle and his hand was injured.

There are so many reasons.

Han Fei didn’t know how to explain to him about pulling out the dagger. Ren Tuo had already left himself so many ways out.

half an hour.

Han Fei also laughed.

“The person is already lying on the board. I can’t guarantee that she will wake up, but the safety officer on the yacht is very professional, and the medical equipment and personnel of the program team are also quite complete.”

“Ren Tuo, are you so sure that she won’t wake up?”

“I don’t know what happened between you and her underwater before we came here. From what Director Li said, the camera was indeed blocked and we couldn’t see the movements clearly. But Shu Yi is not a fool. Putting her words together with mine, can you ensure that this will not be used as evidence of your attempted murder?”

The sound of the motor was getting closer.

Han Fei turned around and took a glance, and found that the lifeboat had already approached the paddle board. Several lean and muscular security guards were carrying Shu Yi onto the boat. There was also a man in a white coat on board, and it was obvious that everything was well prepared. The doctor had already taken out a stethoscope and a small flashlight to confirm vital signs and was ready to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the lifeboat.

He didn’t pay any more attention to Ren Tuo, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he swam towards the lifeboat.

Zhu Chengbiao’s sigh was heard through the headphones.

“Ren Tuo seems to have a lot of experience in scheming and anti-reconnaissance… Han Fei, you did a great job this time. Thank you for your hard work.”
