Chapter 220: Underwater Counterattack
Han Fei did not take off his invisible earphones during the entire program. The earphones were specially treated. Zhu Chengbiao was conducting an intensive investigation, and Han Fei sat in on the entire seminar and synchronized information.

Of course, if he finds it annoying, he can choose to temporarily turn off the headset to have some peace and quiet. As for the switch, it is on Han Fei’s microphone – yes, everyone is equipped with a hidden camera in the shape of a microphone, but Han Fei’s is also specially processed and can control the switch of the invisible headset.

If he accidentally turned it off and forgot to turn it back on, and the authorities had something important to discuss, his follow-up PD would also receive instructions from Li Wensheng and go over to turn on his hidden camera and headset at the same time.

At this moment, all of Han Fei’s communication devices were turned on, and a voice that only he could hear came from his headphones.

“Han Fei, the situation is urgent. Now that you have been included in the organization, you represent not only yourself, but all members of our official team, regardless of whether the outside world knows it or not.”

Zhu Chengbiao’s voice was heavy, obviously he was worried, and his speaking speed was completely different from his previous slow and leisurely manner.

He paused and said:

“We didn’t think this through. We thought Ren Tuo had just come out of the hospital, and there were cameras and production crews everywhere, so the security measures were at their maximum. He probably wouldn’t dare to do anything for the time being, but we didn’t expect this to happen… If Shu Yi hadn’t unhooked her life jacket herself, it wouldn’t have turned out like this. There were too many unexpected factors.”

“Although there is no evidence that this ‘accident’ is related to Ren Tuo, judging from his past experience, he is very good at creating accidents.”

“Since it has already happened, let’s not discuss the cause. Han Fei, I know you have received professional training in field rescue. When you arrive, you must rescue Shu Yi, regardless of the consequences and the cost. If Ren Tuo makes trouble and hinders you, you can use weapons if necessary. The weapon I gave you is for you to carry with you, right?”

“This is an order. I will not ask for your consent. You only need to answer my last question. If you have it, scratch your chin. If you don’t have it, tap twice with your right index finger.”

Han Fei scratched his chin with one hand without hesitation.

There was a dangerous person like Ren Tuo among the guests. Neither Han Fei himself nor Zhu Chengbiao and other high-ranking officials would let him go into battle unarmed. Before setting off, Han Fei had tied an 84-caliber dagger to his trouser leg. It was a military gadget that the police didn’t have. It was Zhu Chengbiao’s private collection, and he gave it to Han Fei for self-defense.

As the owner of this 84 reconnaissance dagger, Zhu Chengbiao knew how useful it was. It had a sword-shaped double-edged blade, a chrome-plated surface, and was multifunctional. It was rarely equipped in the reconnaissance unit, let alone outside.

In an environment like a deserted island, if Han Fei wanted, this dagger could do most of the things he needed to survive, including chopping, cutting, and stabbing. Except for chopping trees, everything else was good.

But Han Fei kept it tied to his calf and never moved it or exposed it.

Even Qi Qingyi and Xu Qingan, the two people who were closest to him, still didn’t know that he had such a deadly weapon.

He hid it very well, even wearing baggy overalls all day to avoid revealing the shape of the dagger.

It’s for moments like this.

“Han, Han Fei, don’t go into the water for a while, really don’t go into the water. If you jump in, I will definitely pull you down!”

Lu Xiaoli held on to the handrail tightly, with such force that her knuckles turned white. She gritted her teeth and spoke haltingly.

She was originally afraid that Han Fei would get into trouble if he jumped into the sea. After hearing Li Wensheng’s explanation, she firmly opposed it:

“That fish was able to flip their board over, so it must be very big, maybe a man-eating shark or something… No matter what, there won’t be anything that big in the river. If you go down, not only will you have to save people, but you will also be entangled by the big fish.”

“This is too dangerous!”

“We’re already taking a big risk just by driving the paddleboard over there. Not to mention the sharks, I’ve seen a lot of videos of killer whales in the ocean, some of which like to ram passing ships. There are many theories about the reasons for the ramming, some say it’s just out of shame and for fun. Who knows if the fish will get itchy and knock over a board?”

“Even if we ignore the boat, if such a big thing attacks you after you enter the water…”

Before she finished her nagging, Han Fei said with a smile:
“Whether it’s a killer whale or some other whale, if it’s nearby and comes up, do you think we can’t see it? Killer whales can spray water.”

“Let’s wait until we get there and take a look. As far as I know, few large marine creatures like to eat people. It’s possible that they bumped into each other for fun, but it’s not as scary as you say. Don’t scare yourself.”

As they were talking, in a little over two minutes, Han Fei and Lu Xiaoli’s paddle boards had already reached their destination.

That is next to Ren Tuoshuyi’s paddle board.

Although the board flipped over, it was firmly anchored on the water. Because it was a double-sided floating design, and the large rock used for anchoring was in the water, the paddle board was almost stationary here, and ordinary small waves could not push it away. This also made it easier for Han Fei and his team to find a place to fall into the water.

Han Fei turned off the propeller and threw the stone on his paddle board into the water to stop it.

As he threw it, he said with a little worry:

“It’s unlikely that those two people are right under our board… What should we do if they get hit?”

“But I can’t help but throw stones. I can’t stop the car without putting stones. No, I have to stop the car. Otherwise, I won’t be able to find anything to climb up the pole later…”

Lu Xiaoli wanted to roll her eyes:
“What time is it and you’re still talking nonsense here? Are you not nervous at all? Oh no, why are you worried about climbing the pole? You still have to go into the sea?”

Han Fei took off his life jacket, straightened his clothes, and said solemnly:
“I tend to talk a lot when I’m nervous, and I’m really nervous this time. Just stay on the board and put the oar on the extension pole and put it in the water. Who knows, someone might jump over and grab the oar and come out.”

After saying that, he didn’t even wait for Lu Xiaoli to react, fearing that she would stop him, and he jumped into the water like a dry onion.

Lu Xiaoli stretched out her hand in astonishment, and the phone froze for two seconds before she howled:

“…Take off your clothes before you go down!”

There was a splash of water, and Han Fei emerged from the water and waved his hand elegantly:

“I’m afraid that if something happens later, it won’t look good naked. You have to keep your clothes neat and tidy to save some dignity for me.”

“No more talking, just wish I could see you again! Bye!”

The splashing sound disappeared, and Han Fei’s head, which had just emerged, also disappeared below the sea level.

Logically speaking, if conditions permit, it would be best to wear life jackets when rescuing people. However, after arriving here, Han Fei observed that there was no sign of Ren Tuo and Shu Yi showing up. No matter what the reason, the two must be below sea level now. And they may have lost consciousness and are sinking.

In this situation, if Han Fei wanted to rescue the person, he could only dive down. He wanted to tie a lead ball to his body, so how could he wear a life jacket with such great buoyancy?
As for not taking off his clothes… after all, he had a knife tied to his leg, and if he jumped down like this, the audience would either think he was cosplaying as Aquaman and planning to go down to fight the deep-sea octopus, or it would be difficult to explain where this thing came from and why he brought it into the water to save people.

Could it be that he was planning to make a hole in the skull of the drowning person to allow for ventilation?

There was no reason to take off the overalls which were so heavy after absorbing water, let alone the T-shirt. Han Fei simply stayed like this, so as to add some weight to himself. How could a mosquito leg not be considered meat?

He did not have the same professional equipment as the safety officers, no mask, fins, or snorkel. Fortunately, the sea was cleaner than the swimming pool, and Han Fei was also very good at swimming, so he could open his eyes underwater.

After adapting to the environment in the sea, Han Fei slowly opened his eyes.

The light underwater was naturally not very good, but fortunately he had just come down and the weather was good today, so the sunlight allowed him to see clearly.

It would have been fine if he hadn’t looked at it, but once he did, Han Fei wanted to sing a song.

I dare not open my eyes, I hope it is my illusion~

He could see the two people underwater clearly——

The one with long hair that flutters like seaweed or a water ghost must be Shu Yi.

She was about ten meters below Han Fei. As expected, there was no trace of the life jacket on her body. The life jacket did not float to the surface of the sea, but just floated under the overturned paddle board, and was covered by the board. That was why Han Fei and Lu Xiaoli did not see the life jacket at all.

To be honest, Han Fei had been worried since Li Wensheng said Shu Yi’s life jacket had fallen off. He breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at the place and found no trace of the life jacket on the water. He thought Shu Yi was wearing it, but was just floundering around near the sea because she couldn’t swim, or was simply covered by the board or something, so it would be easy to save her.

But now he looked back and almost choked to death with the breath of relief he breathed.

It was true that she was covered by the board, but it only covered the life jacket. Shu Yi herself was sinking straight down, and her hands and feet did not move on her own, as if she had completely lost consciousness!
The condition of the other person who fell into the water was obviously much better than Shu Yi.

Ren Tuo was not far from Shu Yi. No one knew where his life jacket had gone, but judging from his posture, he was as good at swimming as Han Fei. He was very comfortable underwater and was floating toward the surface of the sea. He was smart enough to grab the rope with the stone hanging on it so that he could flip directly back onto the paddle board once he got up.

Like Han Fei, Ren Tuo also kept his eyes open. After seeing Han Fei go into the water, he grabbed the rope with one hand and slowly moved up. He then pointed at his chest with his other hand and waved his hand, probably meaning that he couldn’t hold his breath any longer and had to go up to breathe first.

Han Fei thought about it and felt the same way. No matter how powerful Ren Tuo was, he definitely needed to breathe.

There was a time lag of about four minutes between the incident and Han Fei entering the water.

Perhaps Shu Yi and Ren Tuo could have struggled on the water for a while longer at the beginning of the accident. After all, the life jackets were on their bodies and it was impossible to take them off all at once, so the time they spent in the water could be roughly reduced by one minute.

In other words, Ren and Shu were in the water for two to three minutes.

People who have not received professional training, have good physical fitness and exercise regularly will start to feel dizzy and unable to hold their breath after two and a half minutes at most. People who have been trained or have strong talents can last more than three minutes, and professional divers can last five minutes. However, most of these are referring to a static state, such as burying the head in water or pinching the nose to hold the breath.

There are two possibilities after an accidental fall into water:

First, in a life-and-death crisis, people stay calm and conserve their strength, unleashing enormous potential and holding their breath longer than usual. Second, exercise consumes a lot of oxygen, which is less than half of the usual amount.

Based on Han Fei’s understanding of Ren Tuo, his ability to respond was not enough for him to struggle hard after falling into the water… How come he couldn’t hold it in for more than two minutes and went up to breathe?
Something’s wrong, right?

But these thoughts were all subconscious analysis. Seeing Shu Yi continuing to sink, Han Fei had no time to think any further. He could only put aside all distractions and dive quickly, moving towards her direction, ready to rescue her.

Fortunately, Shu Yi didn’t sink too deep, and Han Fei was a good swimmer. He was like a loach in the water, and in the blink of an eye he was next to Shu Yi.

She has already lost consciousness, so there is no need to knock her out with one punch and then save her.

Han Fei put his hands through her armpits from behind, circled her, then grabbed her shoulders and held her tightly, swinging his legs quickly to float her up.

Firstly, this position makes it convenient to exert force in the water. Secondly, he was also worried that Shu Yi might suddenly wake up and struggle violently after coming out of the water. That would be really troublesome. The strength of a drowning person is several times that of a normal person. If he couldn’t control himself, he would be dragged to death with him.

Everything went smoothly. At least Shu Yi did not wake up at this time. She was unconscious and was dragged upwards obediently.

But just as he was floating towards the surface of the sea, a thunderous roar came from Han Fei’s headphones.

Zhu Chengbiao shouted:

“After Ren Tuo went up to breathe, he moved the camera of the paddle board to the other side. The camera couldn’t capture the scene on your side. After he adjusted the angle, he seemed to dive back again. Han Fei, be careful!”

In a flash, Han Fei realized the problem.

It was normal to go up to breathe, and it was also normal to come down again after breathing. It could also be explained as coming down to help save people, but the fact that he broke the camera was very abnormal.

Damn, good things don’t work, but bad things do.

Ren Tuo actually wanted to come over and stop him!
Han Fei made a prompt decision and changed from holding Shu Yi with both hands to one hand, and quickly moved towards the rope diagonally above, grabbing the rope with his loose hand. Otherwise, if he was really held down, he would definitely not be able to fight against Ren Tuo who had just returned from taking a breath, as he was already a burden and in a low position!
A figure swam diagonally from above, moving straight towards Han Fei.

The counterattack comes with great force.

Ren Tuo’s ability in swimming is extremely good, and his sense of purpose is also extremely strong.

He stretched out his hand, pointed at the still unconscious Shu Yi, grabbed her by the collar and kicked her legs towards the two of them.

Judging from the movement, he wanted to throw Shu Yi out of Han Fei’s arms again!
