Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Chapter 132 Who is targeting Tongan?

After Hu Zhenhua escaped from An Lan's clutches, he immediately ordered Qu Xiaodou to drive away.

Sitting in the car, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a beauty trap used by the director on him.

The reason is simple: Lao Hu and An Lan have only met twice in total, and haven't even exchanged a few words. What's the difference between them and strangers? How could someone just pounce on him like that!

Still alive!

Beauty plan!

It must be a beauty trap!

Suddenly, Hu Zhenhua missed An Lan's clutches again, and the restlessness in his heart could not be calmed for a long time!

The car sped along the road, heading towards the pier.

Half an hour later, Hu Zhenhua boarded a ferry and set sail for Chongnan Wharf, where his company's most profitable project is located: air passenger transport!

According to Hu Zhenhua's plan, all flights departing from Jinling must land at Chongnan Airport!

Chives that are only cut once are not good chives!

After Lao Hu earned money from the plane tickets, he still had to make money from the ferry. Although the ferry ticket only cost a dozen dollars, every little bit counts!

Looking at the Yangtze River flowing eastward, Hu Zhenhua's mood suddenly improved. After more than twenty days of rebirth, he had achieved such great achievements. At least he did not bring shame to the reborn clan. He didn't know how he would rank compared with his peers.

The waterway between Shanghai and Chongnan Wharf is extremely busy, with the whistles of inland passenger ships audible one after another.

Ninety percent of the civilian ships in the entire Magic City are in the hands of TA company.

Suddenly, a shout came from afar.

"Oh no! The ship has sunk! The ship has sunk!"

Hu Zhenhua looked around and saw a wooden boat slowly sinking about 1 kilometer ahead!

I don’t know what’s being pulled up there, it can even sink a wooden boat!

Looking from a distance, there were probably dozens of passengers!

Hu Zhenhua shouted,

"Quick, drive the boat over and save them!"

From 1 kilometer away, Lao Hu could already hear the shouts and cries for help. Their cries were shrill and hopeless. When they saw Lao Hu's boat, they waved frantically.

As the ferry approached, the screams of those who fell into the water resounded through the sky.

The river was merciless, and it seemed to turn a blind eye to the people in distress, and the flow rate did not slow down at all.

Under the influence of the river water, dozens of passengers were washed away and drifted downstream.

The river water seemed to be mocking the people who fell into the water, and from time to time it would roll up a wave and knock them over.

The passengers were trapped in the turbulent river and could only save themselves. Some of them held on to wooden boxes, some grabbed on to broken wood, struggling desperately to survive.

The river is merciless, but people are compassionate. Looking around, a dense network of boats rushed towards the sunken ship, ready to rescue. The first boats to arrive threw out lifebuoys, and some people stretched out long bamboo poles to try to pull those who fell into the water aboard. Some people simply jumped into the river and swam to those who needed help most...

Everyone is racing against time for that glimmer of hope.

Ship owners helping each other is a fine tradition that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

If you don't help others when they are in trouble, will others help you if you are in trouble someday?

Who can guarantee that his ship will never sink?

The ferry Hu Zhenhua took was the second to arrive.

Qu Xiaodou was quick and threw out a lifebuoy tied with a rope, which landed steadily next to a woman in her 40s.

She couldn't swim, so she clung to a broken plank and refused to let go.

The river was too wide, with waves three feet high even when there was no wind. Countless waves hit her, causing her to choke on a lot of water.

This person might have been confused. No matter how Qu Xiaodou shouted, she remained indifferent.

There was no other choice, Qu Xiaodou had to take off his clothes and dive into the river. He was a good swimmer and when he surfaced again, he was already 5 or 6 meters away.

In less than a minute, Qu Xiaodou swam to the woman's side. He grabbed the lifebuoy with one hand and the woman's arm with the other, trying to pull her towards the boat.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, something strange happened.

The woman felt something touching her body and was frightened, so she quickly hit it with her hands.

She was originally holding onto the wooden board, but when she let go, her body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and immediately sank to the bottom of the water. The wooden board was washed downstream by a wave.

The woman was horrified, screamed, and thrashed around in the water!

Hu Zhenhua just heard a shrill sound, and then the sound stopped abruptly, because as soon as the woman opened her mouth, the river water poured into her stomach.

Suddenly, she grabbed Qu Xiaodou's arm, climbed over like an octopus, and hugged Qu Xiaodou's head tightly. No matter how good the latter was at swimming, it was impossible for him to withstand the weight of two people without sinking!

Qu Xiaodou's head was pressed into the water. If there had been no external intervention, he would have drowned, because the woman held him too tightly and refused to let go no matter how Qu Xiaodou beat him.

"I come!"

The ship owner appeared next to Hu Zhenhua at some point, picked up a buoy and threw it at the woman.

This throw was extremely accurate.

The woman was hit directly on the head and fainted.

Qu Xiaodou finally escaped and surfaced, gasping for breath. After a moment, he grabbed the floating "corpse" and, with the help of everyone, lifted the woman onto the boat!

When the ship owner saw that everyone was out of danger, he shouted loudly,

"Gentlemen, if you want to save others, save yourself first. Don't save people blindly in the water. That was a bloody example! People in the water are helpless and can easily lose their minds. They'll grab at any straw!"

Peanut asked while helping the woman with CPR.

"What should I do?"

The shipowner immediately replied,

"If all else fails, just knock them out! Actually, there's no need to panic when you're underwater. Just keep your mouth and nose open and keep breathing!"

The scientific explanation is: the overall density of the human body is slightly smaller than that of water. Even if you are motionless in the water, there will be some part of your body exposed above the water surface. As long as you control your body and make sure that the exposed part is your mouth and nose, you can ensure that you will not drown!

This is the reason why many people lie on their backs in the water when they are tired of swimming!

After the ship owner explained for a while, everyone finally understood.

The people who fell into the water drifted with the river and were scattered everywhere, which increased the difficulty of rescuing them.

After more than an hour of busy work, the river surface returned to calm.

Hu Zhenhua just breathed a sigh of relief when Qu Xiaodou pulled Hu Zhenhua aside and whispered,

"Boss, something's wrong! Look at this."

As he spoke, he handed over a broken piece of wood, which must have been fished out of the water.

Hu Zhenhua didn't notice anything unusual and asked,

"Anything special?"

Qu Xiaodou took the board and pointed at the broken part and said,

"Look here, there are burn marks! I just asked a few people who fell into the water, and they said that before the incident, they suddenly heard a 'bang', and then a big hole was broken in the bottom of the boat, and water started to come in. According to witnesses, the leak was from the luggage compartment!"

Hu Zhenhua looked at the fracture and saw burn marks. He sniffed it and frowned.

"If the dog were here, he would definitely be able to smell whether there is gunpowder residue!"

Gou Zi, whose real name is Guo Baokun, is a special member of the security team. He has a very sensitive nose, so everyone calls him Roaring Sky Dog, also known as Gou Zi!

Qu Xiaodou lowered his voice and continued,

"Since this afternoon, our ship has been experiencing constant problems. The causes are myriad: water suddenly seeping into the cabin, or inexplicable fires. Rumors are already spreading in the Demon City: Tong'an's ship, carrying a large amount of gold and silver, has been targeted by the Dragon King."

Hu Zhenhua's frown deepened.

"Who is targeting us?"

Is it seeking wealth or revenge?

In recent days, TA cruise company's tickets have been sold out, and a large number of people have chosen to flee the Magic City.

Money can move people's hearts.

It would be strange if no one was jealous.

They are extremely clever in using such despicable means.

Imagine that you are at sea and your ship suddenly sinks. Would you be scared?

From now on, who would dare to take a cruise of their company?

Fortunately, these sunken ships were mainly wooden boats, which were mostly used for ferrying and not for ocean voyages.

Qu Xiaodou lowered his head and thought for a moment, then gave the answer.

"Qinggang!"
