Chapter 924 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 12
Gu Wusi didn't speak, but he noticed that the bald middle-aged man glanced at him.
He must have been a little surprised to see her here.
The thought that this person was Zhang Qiling in disguise made her unable to look at him, and she even wanted to laugh.
The fat man asked, "Young man, what's wrong with Aning? What's that thing on her neck?"
"I don't know either." Wu Xie shook his head, looking quite worried about A Ning.
The chubby, bald man, who was introduced as the ship's captain, said, "That's a human-faced creature; we need to get some cow hair from it."
Upon hearing this, someone immediately went to make preparations.
People who frequently go to sea know more about the sea than the average person, so they prepare certain special items.
Sprinkle cow hair on the human face and then use a knife to remove it.
Aside from a small bloodstain on the back of her neck, there was nothing else wrong with Aning.
In the living room, Gu Wusi lay on the sofa playing on his phone, while the others played cards on the side.
Before long, she was not surprised to see Wu Xie, Fatty Wang, and Baldy Zhang coming over.
“Miss Gu, we heard that you were in charge of this yacht. We’ve come to thank you for saving us,” Wu Xie said.
"It wasn't on purpose that I saved you; it was just that my companions were curious about that ghost ship."
Those who were listening to them also put down their cards and came over.
Seeing that Wu Xie seemed easy to talk to, Xu Xinxuan asked him, "Brother, when you got on that ghost ship, did you see anything strange?"
“There’s nothing strange, but there is a sea monkey,” Zhang the Bald said first.
"Sea monkeys? There are monkeys in the sea? What are they like? Tell us about them."
Zhang the Bald first chuckled, then began to tell the story vividly, making it sound rather mysterious to the listeners.
"Advisor Zhang, you're quite the orator." If Wu Xie hadn't witnessed it firsthand, he might have been easily swayed by what Zhang said.
"Sigh, it's all for making a living, that's why we've trained so hard."
Zhang the Bald man spoke with humility, but his expression was quite the opposite, with a confident smile on his face.
"Is there anything else on that ghost ship? Did you see anything supernatural?" someone else asked.
"Of course not, everyone should still believe in science."
"These people are just as curious as you are," the fat man whispered to Wu Xie.
Wu Xie smiled and asked Gu Wusi, who was silent, "Miss Gu, the windy season is almost here, why are you going out to sea at this time?"
"If I feel like it, I'll come out and have some fun. Do I have to pick a special day?" Gu Wusi replied casually.
She perfectly embodied the image of a spoiled young lady.
"When do you plan to return? We don't know when the weather will return to normal."
Before Gu Wusi could say anything, Ye Bing spoke up: "We've only just come out, and we haven't even gone diving in this sea yet. We'll need to stay here for at least a few more days."
"You guys really know how to have fun, taking this yacht out to sea just to go diving," the fat man said.
Huang Guilu chuckled and chimed in, "So you're not here for fun? Or are you here to fish? I didn't see any fishy smell on your boat."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xie naturally couldn't talk about his own affairs.
"Haha, we have some business to attend to, we're not here to play or fish."
"Judging from your accents, you sound like you're from Beijing? I'm a native Beijinger too," the fat man changed the subject.
Seeing that they didn't want to tell the truth, Ye Bing and the others didn't intend to continue the conversation.
"Yes, it's quite a coincidence."
After they went outside, Wu Xie and Fatty found a corner to talk.
"These people look like a bunch of young, playful rich kids. Aning is overthinking it."
"They're so carefree. How naive. You're a rich kid too, how come you're so different from them?"
The fat man looked him up and down, stroking his chin, unable to understand.
"Can I be the same? Just because the Wu family is rich doesn't mean I am rich. Besides, I have a third uncle who causes me a lot of trouble."
"People have different fates, let's find your third uncle first."
After Ah Ning woke up, she also went to greet Gu Wusi.
Despite her overt expression of gratitude, which was actually a test, Gu Wusi did not reveal any flaws.
*
The next day, the weather cleared up and the sea returned to calm.
A Ning led her crew and Wu Xie and the others back to their own ship.
Wu Xie stood on the deck, smiling and waving to the people on the yacht: "Goodbye, have fun."
"Goodbye." Xu Xinxuan and the others waved to the group.
Gu Wusi didn't speak; her gaze was fixed on another direction on the sea.
Out there, out of sight, there is a small boat carrying people.
Wang Guiluo handed her a glass of orange juice: "What are you looking at? Is there anything over there?"
"It's alright, go back."
"Those people just now... they seemed a bit strange."
"Well, it's none of our business. We're just here to relax at sea for a few days," Gu Wusi said nonchalantly.
"That's true, let's go diving after dinner."
The yacht headed ahead to the location of the underwater tomb.
Gu Wusi let everyone go into the water in this area, but didn't let them get too close.
Everyone put on their gear and jumped into the water.
When Wu Xie and his group arrived, they found that the yacht was already empty.
"What a coincidence, they just happened to be diving here? Are you sure it's here?" Wu Xie asked A Ning.
He used to think these people were just out having fun, but now he's starting to overthink it.
Ah Ning remained vigilant, even though the group seemed flawless.
"The location is correct. I've already sent people to investigate them. I expect we'll have news once we get up here."
"They didn't seem to be hiding anything, they were quite blatant. Maybe I'm overthinking it, or maybe it was just a coincidence that they chose this location."
"Don't think about anything else, saving lives is the priority. Don't worry about your third uncle," the fat man said.
"I'm still wondering, is Third Uncle really down there?"
“Wu Sansheng’s ship did indeed disappear in this area. He should have lost his sea support now. It’s up to you whether you want to go or not.” Aning turned around and went to get the equipment.
A minor accident is not enough to affect the original plan.
Upon hearing this, Wu Xie became a little anxious: "Why didn't you say so earlier? How could my third uncle's oxygen tank last so long?"
"Your third uncle said that there is some air in the underwater tomb, and it is breathable."
Hearing her say that, Wu Xie felt a little relieved.
After putting on their gear and carrying oxygen tanks, everyone went into the water one after another.
They didn't see anyone else in the water, but they couldn't worry about that for the time being.
Gu Wusi is currently submerged in seawater, clinging to the side of a ship, holding a diving hood in his hand.
"Hey, Blackie, how come I keep running into you everywhere? Did you deliberately get me into the water just now?"
Hei Xiazi surfaced from the sea, and after recognizing who it was, the smile in his eyes behind his sunglasses faded slightly.
