Treasure Hunt Tycoon

The boat that sent Brother Wolf off later returned to send another batch of people away. Naturally, this batch included Sandler, Halim Stein, and two others. Li Du, Bell and a couple of others were also in this batch.

They were carrying out the task of landing in water from high grounds. The boat was slightly more than ten meters above the water and it was quite a fearful height.

One should know that in the Olympic Games and the Diving World Championships, the highest platform used for the competition was only ten meters. It would require athletes to take a professional diving position. Sandler and the three others were just jumping off the pole without any training. All of them practically fell into the water back first!

If they happened to fall on the ground from such a height, there would be an 80 to 90 percent chance that they would suffer severe bone damage. Fortunately, they were landing in the waters, which cushioned their fall. Besides, the waters were constantly moving due to the currents.

No matter what, the four of them were all quite pitiful. It had happened suddenly and they were unprepared. First, they were frightened out of their wits. Second, because they were too high up, they would still be hurt after landing in the waters. Besides, it was winter!

Li Du had already prepared himself for it. After the four men fell into the waters. He immediately stood up and shouted, “Someone fell into the ocean, help!”

As he was shouting, he ran towards the head of the ship and removed his jacket. When he reached the head of the ship, he kicked off his shoes and jumped into the water like a fish.

The rest of the people finally reacted. Bell was the second one to follow suit and jumped into the water. Unlike Li Du, who was well prepared, Bell had jumped into the water in the clothes he was already wearing.

From that, one could tell that Bell deserved the nickname ‘Jesus’. He truly placed the safety of others as a top priority.

Li Du jumped into the water like a professional diver. Hence, there was no harm done to his body. After getting into the waters, he managed to grab hold of a man and pulled him to the surface.

He took a good look and saw that that man was Stein. He asked, “How are you doing?”

Stein was still in a state of shock. He looked at Li Du blankly, as though he was unable to comprehend what had happened.

Without hesitation, Li Du gave Sandler two slaps on his face. In his heart, he thought, “This slap is for the foreign students from China. This slap is for the American students…”

After getting slapped twice, Stein snapped out of it. He held onto Li Du and screamed, “Oh, God! Help! What happened? Save me!”

Seeing that he had come to his senses, Li Du stopped his slaps reluctantly. He felt that it was a pity. If only that sc*mbag remained in a state of shock! He had yet to take revenge for those foreign students who were left destitute in the world.

However, Stein stretched out his arms to hold onto Li Du, and Li Du thought of another way to take revenge.

He continued to dive in deeper while Stein was still screaming. As they suddenly went underwater, a huge amount of seawater entered Stein’s mouth.

At that moment, Stein’s expression changed!

People who did not know how to swim would hold onto the person who saved them tightly. Stein did know how to swim, and his reaction was pretty speedy. Hence, he had quickly let go of Li Du’s arm and struggled as he floated to the surface.

Later, Li Du held onto him again and pulled him into the water. “Come on, hurry up and come to your senses!”

“Help! Help…gulp, gulp, gulp!” Stein screamed helplessly. His stomach was now full of seawater!

The bodyguards got into the water one after another. Some security officers rushed over in their speedboats, too.

It was only when more people had gathered that Li Du allowed Stein to get back onto the ship reluctantly.

By that time, Stein had already been tortured terribly and looked half dead. After all, he was already fifty years old. The shock, fear and pain had taken its toll on him!

However, he did not have the worst experience. Gasol fared worse. After landing into the water, his head had struck the pole and there was a huge open wound on his forehead, which was bleeding profusely.

The four men had injuries of varying degrees. They needed to receive treatment in the hospital. As for Li Du and the rest, they needed to go ashore to get a change of clothes. Hence, all of them started on their return journey.

The insurance company was more cautious. They had prepared their doctors to handle emergencies. After all, there were a bunch of millionaires and billionaires on the ship. If there were a casualty, they would have to pay up a huge amount in damages.

After the four men were brought up the ship, the doctors started to treat them. Stein’s body was bent over the head of the bed and he was vomiting water mixed with gastric juices. He vomited half a basin’s worth!

Bell, who was wiping his hair dry with a towel, saw what had happened and was shocked. “God, how thirsty were you that you drank so much water?”

Sandler recovered the fastest and shouted, “Bauer? Where’s Bauer? Let that bast*rd come over! D*mn! D*mn! D*mn! What kind of auction is this? How did this d*mned auction organize the security?”

Bauer was the person in charge who was sent by the insurance company for the naval auction. He came onto the ship and when he heard the scolding, he rushed over and apologized, “Sorry, sorry, Mr. Sandler. This incident was unpredictable. I’m truly sorry…”

Sandler interrupted him angrily and howled, “You useless idiot! How are you going to compensate us, tell us, how are you going to do that?”

Bauer rubbed his hands together and gave a smile that indicated that he was in a fix. He said, “That, that… Mr. Sandler, can we go to the hospital and do an overall checkup?”

They were all smart people. Everyone could understand from his smile that it was not easy to resolve the issue of the compensation.

Sandler recognized that and stared at Bauer. He asked, “Hey, let’s talk about the checkup later. First, settle the compensation issue. You said that you have insurance for us, right?”

Bauer said, troubled, “Yes, we did purchase the insurance. However, insurance has exemptions. For example, we notice that there were some dangerous behaviors, which the insured should not engage in. Otherwise, we will not issue compensation is something happens …”

Sandler shouted angrily, “What do you mean? There’s a problem with the railings on the cruise ship and that caused us to fall into the water. Are you blaming us for that? D*mn, are we to blame for that, tell me?”

Bauer smiled and said, “Of course, you cannot be blamed. However, you guys should not have gotten near the railings. Let’s talk about that later. It is more important to do a physical examination first. Later, I will show you guys the policy.”

Bell shook his head and said, “I’ve seen the terms and conditions of the insurance that came with the invite. Guests are not allowed to get near the railings of the cruise, enter the captain’s cabin, or enter the waters without permission. Otherwise, there will be no payout if something happens.”

Li Du said, “But we had jumped into the water without permission as well. Does it mean that if something happened, we cannot make any claims as well?”

Bell replied, “I think that under those circumstances, the insurance company will give us some compensation. For example, some participation in the treatment. However, that will not be a claim under the insurance policy. It would be an encouragement for our act of bravery.”

Li Du said in surprise, “D*mn, these insurance guys are cunning b*stards.”

Bell shrugged. “That’s just how insurance companies are. That’s a game organized by smart people.”

They were just chatting. When Stein was done vomiting and felt better, he glared at Li Du.

Realizing that, Li Du rushed over and asked, “Hey, buddy, how are you? You kept looking at me, is there something I can help with?”

Stein’s face changed drastically. He tensed up and dodged the hand that Li Du had extended.

Bauer, who was beside him, said, “I think Mr. Abel wants to thank you, sir. Mr. Abel, it was Mr. Li who saved you. After seeing that you fell into the water, he did not hesitate and jumped in to save you!”
