Chapter 230 What a loyal lady!

Not far from the deck, the paddle boards heading towards the yacht gradually became clearer and we could see who was on them.

The first ones to come over were Qi Qingyi and Nie Wenjin.

Nie Wenjin sat obediently in the middle of the paddle board, with his plastered leg stretched out and tilted up, and a stone placed under his leg to brake the paddle board. His entire sitting posture and equipment were perfect.

Qi Qingyi was half-crouching in front of her with a determined look on her face. That posture made her look a bit like a landing superhero… Anyway, if anything unexpected happened, she could react as quickly as possible, and if anything happened, she would go down first, followed by Nie Wenjin.

On the deck, Han Fei said with emotion:
“What a loyal dog!”

Ren Tuo next to him was surprisingly consistent with Han Fei in this regard. He nodded in agreement:

“Yes, without Qi Qingyi’s help, Wen Jin’s filming process would probably be more difficult. She did help Wen Jin a lot.”

They all tacitly skipped the previous topic and started a new one. No one mentioned Lu Siyuan’s incident again. The main reason was that there was nothing to talk about now. No matter what the facts were, there was no way to verify them immediately, so there was no need to say anything.

Han Fei looked at him as if he had seen a ghost:
“Besides Nie Wenjin, is there another guest on this show that you have such a high favorability rating?”

Ren Tuo smiled and said:

“Is there anything wrong with this? Qi Qingyi has a good relationship with Wen Jin and has helped her a lot. Her mother is also my lawyer. She allowed me to be discharged from the hospital so quickly to record the show. Even if the problem has not been completely resolved, it is already very difficult to be discharged from the hospital under such circumstances.”

“Before I came here, I promised Kou Lu that I would take good care of her after we get to the island, so you can rest assured. With so many people watching, no matter how big the incident is, at least Qi Qingyi will not be in any danger.”

Han Fei thought about it and realized that this was indeed the normal process.

Kou Hongying, as Qi Qingyi’s mother and also the lawyer who helped Ren Tuo out of trouble, asked Ren Tuo to take better care of her daughter before leaving. It was absolutely reasonable. No matter how cunning Ren Tuo was, he would not think too much about this matter.

Qi Qingyi was born into a wealthy family, but she is not the kind of person who is spoiled and cannot endure hardship. She is in good health, has comprehensive skills, and a likable personality. Unless someone deliberately tricks her, she will basically not be in any danger.

And now with Han Fei and Ren Tuo watching closely, even if Lu Siyuan wanted to retaliate, he would probably be beaten up before he could even make a move, the kind that he couldn’t even get up.

Obviously, with so many buffs, Ren Tuo would not attack Qi Qingyi. Even if he had some strange reasons that ordinary people could not even think of, he had to consider the consequences in advance – if Kou Hongying could get him out, it would be easier to send him in. Don’t offend anyone, don’t offend people in professions like doctors and lawyers.

As for Shu Yi, the person Ren Tuo is most likely to target, it is unlikely that he will attack again if he fails to hit her once.

First of all, he will no longer have the opportunity to team up with Shu Yi alone. If he wants to take action, he can only do it when there are many people around. The difficulty is more than twice as difficult as when they are alone, it is simply exponentially higher.

Secondly, even if Ren Tuo really found an opportunity, he would still have to consider the subsequent factors.

Ren Tuo is a perfectionist. He wants to do everything perfectly, like he has an obsessive-compulsive disorder. The same is true for crimes. If the conditions for a perfect crime are not met, he will not commit it. Moreover, Shu Yi had already had an incident when she was alone with him. If something happened again, Ren Tuo would be the first suspect. No matter how covert the crime was, he would be investigated in detail.

Then the problem is coming.

Han Fei knew very well that there was no perfect crime in the world. If there was, it was only because the investigation was not detailed enough.

He also believed that Ren Tuo knew this as well.

Perhaps at certain times, a perfect crime can be established, for example, the authorities know who the murderer is but cannot catch him due to objective conditions, such as the murderer fleeing the country, the murderer committing suicide, the crime was committed too early and the physical evidence was destroyed by time… and so on.

But these are all based on objective conditions and on the fact that the murderer is not suspected and under investigation.

Ren Tuo was suspected by Han Fei, but for some reason, he was not investigated and Shu Yi did not pursue the matter. This was not a perfect crime, but an attempted crime at best. Even if he really killed Shu Yi in the sea, it was only because the body could not be found. As long as he was willing to spend a lot of money to search, Ren Tuo would not be able to escape.

So Ren Tuo will not do anything to Shu Yi again, at least not during the recording of the show. Otherwise, why would he risk being exposed to keep Shu Yi stable?

To sum up, Han Fei came to a conclusion:

There are currently three people whose lives are in danger during the recording.

Lu Siyuan, Nie Wenjin, and Han Fei himself.

Of course, Han Fei must be the most dangerous. As for Nie Wenjin, although Ren Tuo showed that he liked her very much, it cannot be ruled out that she angered Ren Tuo and made him hate him because Ren Tuo was a highly intelligent and antisocial lunatic who could do anything.

As for Lu Siyuan…

Even if there is no obvious conflict between them now, Lu Siyuan’s annoying mouth and his current psychological state of being isolated by all the guests and hating the whole world will make it a matter of time before he offends Ren Tuo. Even if he doesn’t offend Ren Tuo, offending Nie Wenjin is equivalent to offending him.

Han Fei rubbed his temple with a slight headache.

Nie Wenjin was easy to deal with. She was smart and even if she accidentally angered Ren Tuo, she would have a way to deal with it. If that didn’t work, she would make some sacrifices and temporarily agree to date Ren Tuo to get through the crisis.

The most difficult one to deal with is Lu Siyuan.

This kind of scumbag really deserves death, but Lu Siyuan is an important witness. If he suddenly dies, it will have a great negative impact on the subsequent investigation. Besides, it would be too easy for him to die like this. Another thing, what if Ren Tuo wanted to kill people to silence them when he appeared on the show this time?
But with Lu Siyuan’s current state, it’s hard for anyone to team up with him, let alone protect him…

Wait a minute.

Han Fei stared at the paddle board getting closer and closer in confusion:
“I remember the groups before departure were Nie Wenjin and PD in one group, Qi Qingyi and Lu Siyuan in another. Why is it that now Qi Qingyi and Nie Wenjin are in the same group?”

“Isn’t this right??”

Ren Tuo was not surprised at all. He also looked at the approaching paddle board and said:
“What’s wrong? Lu Siyuan always speaks harshly. Qi Qingyi looks easy to talk to, but I don’t think she’s a pushover. It’s normal to just switch people if you can’t get along.”

“If you don’t believe me, ask them later to see if they changed teams because they had a quarrel.”

“That’s not bad. It’s hard to say who is more reliable, Qi Qingyi or the program team.”

Han Fei was speechless for a moment.

However, judging from what happened before, although the production crew tried their best… there were too many unexpected events, and it is also a fact that they did not take good care of the guests. No wonder Ren Tuo complained.

It didn’t take long before the paddle board approached the yacht.

The yacht lowered a ladder – this was the same ladder that was used when the lifeboat pulled Shu Yi back on board.

However, Shu Yi was completely unconscious at that time, and no one paid attention to it when the medical staff tied her up and climbed up. Now Nie Wenjin is very awake, but has difficulty moving, so it is a bit difficult for him to climb up.

Ren Tuo and Han Fei both got to the top of the ladder, holding the handrails and looking down.

“I’ll go down and carry her up.”

Finding it difficult for Nie Wenjin to get on board, Ren Tuo volunteered without any hesitation and climbed down directly.

Han Fei, Qi Qingyi, and the security guards guarding the ladder didn’t have time to stop him, and he jumped down in just a few steps.

Then Ren Tuo turned his head and saw two girls staring at his bandaged arm with indescribable expressions.

“You…why don’t you think about how to get up there yourself?” After an awkward silence, Qi Qingyi pointed at his arm:
“It’s not difficult to slide down with one hand, but you are already in this state, and you still plan to climb up with someone on your back. Isn’t it a bit too difficult for yourself…”

Ren Tuo suddenly realized that he, like Nie Wenjin, had temporarily lost one of his limbs and was having trouble moving.

He was also embarrassed.

The life-saving ladder is not particularly high, but it is still three or four meters high. If you want to go up, you must use your hands and feet to climb a few times. It is very easy to go down the ladder with one hand, just hold on to one side and walk down, but it is more difficult to go up with one hand…

The distance was not far, and one could hear the conversation below.

Han Fei poked his head out to take a look and said:
“I’ll go down and pick you up.”

“Wait, don’t move!”

He held a life rope with a noose in his hand and threw it directly to Qi Qingyi.

“You put the harness on Ren Tuo first, I’ll pull him up, and then Nie Wenjin, and you get on board last.”

The paddle board’s load-bearing capacity is limited, and carrying two people is already the limit. After getting off the ladder, Ren Tuo was worried about capsizing, so he just stood at the bottom of the aluminum life ladder and secured it with one hand, so now he needs Qi Qingyi’s help to put on the rope.

He was silent and awkward, and accepted Qi Qingyi’s help. Then Nie Wenjin was also pulled up by the rope, but she also needed Qi Qingyi to help push from below to avoid her injured leg from being bumped.

After a busy schedule, the three people finally got on the boat.

Han Fei glanced at Qi Qingyi, who was still breathing heavily, and asked:
“Why are you with her? I remember you were in the same group with Lu Siyuan when we were grouped together just now.”

Qi Qingyi helped two people get on the boat, and she also climbed up with her hands and feet, so she was inevitably a little tired, but when she heard the three words Lu Siyuan, she became excited, not even taking a breath, and slapped the floor on the spot, angrily saying:

“You’re still talking about this! You don’t know how disgusting his words were just now!”

“He clearly didn’t know how to operate a paddle board, and I said I could, and then…”

She told him everything that had happened on the shore in a rush.

After saying that, he patted the embarrassed security guard next to him:
“Pour me a glass of water, thank you. My cup is on the shelf over at the coffee bar, the blue mug. Tell the bartender, he’ll know which one it is.”

The security officer scratched his head:
“Okay, Miss Qi, you don’t have to be so polite. I know your face. I’ve been employed here for three years…”

He muttered to himself, and seeing that Qi Qingyi didn’t care much, he could only walk back to the cabin silently and get some water.

Han Fei was surprised:

“Do you still have the time to show off your wealth? I thought you didn’t care about these material things. I heard that rich people don’t care about other people’s opinions.”

Qi Qingyi almost rolled her eyes.

She said angrily:
“I don’t care about other people’s opinions. I don’t mind if others think I’m poor, because I’m not. But my things are my things. This is my birthday present. Why should I be criticized?”

“Even if this boat really belongs to someone else, why does he have such a strong possessiveness for other people’s things and mock me? Does he own anything? He mocks me. He’s so proud of himself after seeing a few yachts. If you don’t know, you would think that everything he has seen is his!”

“Director Li called all the guests on the loudspeaker to gather on the yacht. Not only am I going to scold him now, but when Lu Siyuan comes up, I will also scold him face to face, or I won’t be able to vent my anger!”

Han Fei was silent, and Ren Tuo was silent.

Even Nie Wenjin, who witnessed the whole process, remained silent.

After a while, Nie Wenjin sighed:
“Yiyi, don’t be too angry. What if you get sick from being angry?”

“If you want to get close to him and make him distinguish between the big and small kings, you don’t even need to scold him. Just ask the security guard to get you a glass of water in front of him like you did just now. He will definitely be very angry, and he won’t be able to talk back.”

Qi Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then patted the floor again, his face full of realization:

“Sister, you are right!”

“It would be more painful for him to see with his own eyes that I am the owner of this ship than to kill him!”

“Hehe, I’ll let him know why the flowers are so red in a moment… I’ll even broadcast the whole thing live to embarrass him!”

Having said that, Qi Qingyi ran into the cabin. No one knew what she was going to do. Maybe she was planning to do some preparation before getting slapped in the face.

Looking at her leaving back, Han Fei sighed softly.

It was exactly the same as Nie Wenjin’s sigh just now.

“I take back what I just said.”

Han Fei patted Ren Tuo on the shoulder and said earnestly:
“She’s a loyal dog indeed…but a beagle.”

It’s still a beagle at the end of its tasting period.

She is pretty and likable, but once someone provokes her, they will know what a big-eared, weird-screaming donkey means.

After saying that, Han Fei sighed all the way and followed Qi Qingyi’s steps into the cabin.

The bar is located in the middle of the cabin, with the deck, outdoor terrace, and several small rooms in front and back. In the middle is the place for mixing drinks, and there are dedicated bartenders working on the ship.

As Han Fei approached, he heard Qi Qingyi drinking water and whispering to the bartender, discussing their plan of showing off and getting slapped in the face later.

He pulled Qi Qingyi aside and physically put a stop to her big plan.

The latter was about to lose his temper and denounce Han Fei’s impolite behavior when he was dragged away again and forcibly pulled into an empty corner.

Han Fei whispered:
“Please do me a favor and add another project to your pretentious plan.”

“Find a way to get some hair from Lu Siyuan. It will be very useful to me.”

At this point, Qi Qingyi couldn’t even vent her anger, and could only ask blankly:

“What are you going to do? Why don’t you do it yourself? You can also take the opportunity to beat him up.”

Han Fei wanted to sigh again.

“I can’t do it myself… Rentaku is watching me.”

“Anyway, I’ll explain it to you after you get it. This is really important, don’t forget it!”
