The neon lights of the port city flashed at night, and the neatness and prosperity were in sharp contrast to the tropical jungle. Ling Hao and Cheng Zhuxin were both in a trance, as if the previous month or so had been a dream. The two are sitting in Waiti
G Cafe, the coffee in front of them was steaming, but no one spoke, they all just stared blankly at the night scene outside.
"After this trip, I returned to the feasting and feasting of modern times. It felt like a world away." Cheng Zhuxin suddenly sighed.
Ling Hao smiled: "You make it sound like you have traveled through time before. We just went to the tropical rainforest and fought a battle with the militants. Isn't it a bit too much to feel like we were in another world?"
Cheng Zhuxin sighed softly and said: "Although I am a policeman, I have always thought about my skills and my marksmanship, but it was only on the battlefield that I realized that I was a rookie. I am no stranger to blood and death, but the large-caliber bullets and deafening explosions still filled the sky. It scared me. This made all my previous pride disappear. Facing life and death, blood and fire, I am still immature."
Ling Hao shook his head: "You are a policeman, not a soldier. It is not your job to go to the battlefield. Just like soldiers don't know how to investigate cases, this is called specialization. Why do you need to follow people like us? Better than this."
Cheng Zhuxin smiled sweetly and said, "It's you. Now that you are a businessman, you can make a lot of money, so you should stop wielding swords and guns."
Ling Hao was speechless and said: "You still have the nerve to say it? Who dragged you to wield swords and guns this time? Not to mention making money, for the work we did this time, your leaders of the Central Bureau touched their conscience Think about it, is that called making money?”
Cheng Zhuxin rolled her eyes at Ling Hao angrily and said, "Are you planning to argue with me?"
Ling Hao smiled softly and said, "For the sake of you staying by my bedside all day, I won't care." After saying that, he looked at Cheng Zhuxin's hand next to the coffee cup, thinking about how to behave as naturally as possible. He stretched out his claws to hold the white jade hand. After thinking for a long time, he was distracted and did not dare to make a move.
"What? Are you observing the calluses on my hands from practicing shooting again?" Cheng Zhuxin realized that he was wrong and spread his hands in front of Ling Hao.
Ling Hao was a little speechless. Although this girl was extremely smart, she was extremely slow when it came to matters between men and women. I wonder if she was so beautiful. Were all the men around her blind before? "No, I was thinking, 'Angel Shark' was immediately escorted back to the central bureau. Don't you have to interrogate him?"
Cheng Zhuxin smiled and said: "You must have watched too many police and gangster movies. In fact, in the police department, the same people will not be arrested and interrogated, especially for such serious criminals, there will be specialized interrogation experts to pry their mouths. , it is impossible to carry it to death. Now that the main culprit has been caught, before we get information about other important figures in the organization, we will have a few days of free time, which happens to be on vacation. Anyway, I have no other place to go, so I have to stay Gangcheng will stay with Beichuan for a few days."
Ling Hao almost spit out the coffee in his mouth, accompanying Beichuan? This island girl has taken Yuan Bing to the hotel room since she came back. She has never come out until now. She even asked the hotel to bring her meals to the room. Ling Hao was worried that by the time Yuan Bing came out, he would be squeezed dry.
"Why should I accompany her? Be a lightbulb? How about I show my kindness as a landlord and accompany you to go shopping and relax." Ling Hao mustered up his courage and said with a slightly guilty conscience.
"Well, I won't disturb you, right?" Cheng Zhuxin's face was also flushed.
"No, I haven't recovered from my injury yet. I just want to take a vacation to accompany you." The last three words were obviously ambiguous, which made Cheng Zhuxin's face turn even redder, while Ling Hao started to glance at the other person's hand again. , he really wanted to slap himself twice, what a great opportunity, why didn’t he dare to hold someone’s hand? In the next few days, we must accomplish this great goal, it must be done!
Ling Hao's plan went bankrupt the next day. The grandson of "Angel Shark" was "given up" so quickly. The central bureau asked the task force to end their vacation and return immediately to start a new arrest mission. There is no need to dive this time, so naturally they will not spend money to hire Ling Hao and the others.
And just like that, the duck flew away before it was cooked, no, even before it was brought home. Ling Hao's heart was shattered. He secretly cursed "Angel Shark" as a weakling. Even the interrogation experts followed suit.
But looking at Yuan Bing's appearance of surviving the disaster, it was obvious that his life was saved by the Central Bureau. I have to say that the girls from the island country are fierce. Yuan Bing, a resounding and tough man, was stunned. I had to languish on the sofa for several days. God knows what happened these days. The picture was probably so beautiful that no one dared to imagine it during the day.
Two weeks passed in a flash, and everyone went to the company to work as usual every day. It was just a different place to play games in a daze, and they were all used to it.
However, Li Liang had no intention of leaving them idle. He brought a blond and blue-eyed foreign woman to Ling Hao's office early in the morning. The latter was unprepared and quickly sorted out the messy things on the table. Ask the girl at the front desk to serve tea to the guests quickly.
"Blue hole? Which blue hole? The one in Belize or Italy? It can't be the 'eye of the sea' in the South China Sea, right?" Ling Hao's eyes widened. This time's "job" seemed very challenging.
"Blue hole" is a special geological environment in the ocean. A circle of faint blue is dotted in the sea, as if it is the pupil of the sea staring at the sky. The deep gaze is mysterious and beautiful. It is also called the "Eye of the Ocean".
According to scientists' research, the cause of the "blue hole" is that when the sea level dropped during the glacial period, karst shafts were formed by surface water dissolution on the limestone islands exposed above the water. When the sea level rose during the interglacial period, the shafts filled with water, forming underwater karst shafts. cave.
There are many ocean blue holes in the world, and they vary in depth. The more famous ones include the "Belize Blue Hole", the "Saipan Blue Hole", the Italian "Capri Blue Hole", etc. The deepest among them is the "Belize Blue Hole". The "Yongle Dragon Cave" in Sansha is 300.84 meters deep. Fishermen even say that this is the trace left after Sun Wukong pulled out the golden hoop. Some people also connect it with the "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea" in the "Book of Mountains and Seas". The fishermen gave it a popular and down-to-earth name, "Sea Eye".
Countless folklore has always been circulating around the "Blue Hole" or the "Eye of the Sea". Some foreign countries say it is the lair of demons or sea monsters and the entrance to hell. There are even more legends in domestic fishing villages. Some say it is the location of the Dragon Palace of the Dragon King, and some say it is the bottomless abyss that the sea pours in over the years but cannot be filled... In short, it is the most mysterious place on earth. It's there.
Human beings are curious creatures. How could we not have the desire to explore such mysterious places? Especially in the past 100 years, almost all blue holes have become paradises for diving explorers. There is an endless stream of deep diving enthusiasts. All major blue holes have become holy places for diving tourism. Many people have successfully explored the depths. , there are also many people who have died in accidents in it, but the "Blue Hole" is still flocked to by deep diving enthusiasts all over the world.
As soon as Ling Hao heard the word "blue hole" mentioned by the foreign beauty, his little heart began to beat faster. Who in this industry is safe? The restless factor flows in the blood, constantly stimulating the secretion of adrenaline, tearing and eating away the reason in the young mind.
This girl is British and a descendant of an ancient aristocratic family, so she can find Li Liang through family connections. She is not, as people usually imagine, the kind of rich second generation who has nothing to do, has money but no place to spend it, is so full that she is starving to death in search of excitement, and ends up going too far and causing trouble.
He is a scholar, a master's degree from Cambridge University. Although he looks like a movie star, he is actually a pure marine scientist. His name is Adeline Huxley. He is one of the three oldest families in the UK. Among the Huxley family A young lady in China is rich, powerful, famous, knowledgeable, and most importantly, good-looking. It would be unreasonable to say that she doesn't have anything. Is God really fair? Apparently not at all! Ling Hao screamed in his heart.
"Mr. Ling Hao, this time I found Uncle Li through family connections because I was at the end of my rope and had no choice but to do it. I have a very important matter that I need to rely on you and your team's underwater help." Professional ability." Adeline spoke fluently in Mandarin, and judging from this vocabulary, I am afraid that many pure Chinese people may not be able to deal with this person. It is said that the Huxley family is a place where scholars and writers gather together, and this statement is indeed true.
"I'd like to hear the details." Ling Hao also started to read the article, and tried his best to appear elegant, profound, and knowledgeable. He couldn't lose his reputation to us Chinese people, could he?
Adeline smiled politely and continued: "Last year, a marine scientific research team from our University of Cambridge conducted scientific research activities near Guadalcanal Island in the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific. They found an atoll 7 nautical miles southeast of it. A huge blue hole with a diameter of more than 600 meters was discovered in the lagoon. Due to the limited equipment at the time and the fact that the blue hole was not completely vertical, sonar could not detect the bottom, but even so, the depth that had been explored was already More than 300 meters. There is no doubt that this newly discovered blue hole will become the new best in the world."
Adeline was a little excited when she spoke, and her face turned red. She took a sip of tea to calm down and continued: "This is a major scientific discovery that can shock the world. My mentor, Professor Levins, applied With a certain amount of funding, we took twelve of our students and a large amount of advanced equipment to Guadalcanal. At the beginning, we took a deep-diving mini-submarine to try to explore the bottom, and at the same time, we used the latest "multi-frequency vibration wave directional sonar" to start a comprehensive Explore the terrain inside the Blue Cave. Unexpectedly, the underwater internal space of the Blue Cave is much larger than the entrance. Not only is it extremely deep downward, but there is also a large space to the side. There are as many as 5 entrances to the underwater cave, and the environment is complex. Professor Levins and two classmates lost contact with the surface while deep diving in a small submarine to explore one of the caves, so I am extremely anxious to find a way to find you. Although there are no less than 10 teams in the world capable of deep diving rescue , but they are all controlled by the government or big companies. It is not impossible to ask them for help, but the communication time is too long. My tutor and classmates are in danger. They cannot afford to wait. I am afraid that Mr. Ling is the only one in the world. Your team specializes in this kind of thing, and you can get it done right away with money. I am willing to pay you 2 million euros to hire you, what do you think?"
Ling Hao suddenly took a breath. Two million euros was a huge sum of money. Although this job sounded a bit difficult, it was good that they were not asked to explore the bottom 300 meters below. It should be a good deal.
Seeing Ling Hao's silence, Adeline thought he thought it was dangerous, and quickly said: "Mr. Ling, there are risks in this matter. We can easily discuss the price. Otherwise, I will pay 3 million euros, and you will also pay for the transportation of your equipment." I'll take care of it, and I'll be responsible for all the logistical costs, what do you think?"
Ling Hao felt like he was being slapped hard from left to right by bundles of banknotes, and was stunned. He swallowed and said, "Miss Adeline, after all, this matter is risky, so I need to get my team members to agree. Please wait for me for a while." After that, he hurriedly left the office.
In another room, everyone in the team was "beaten" by the power of money until they were dizzy. Shi Si took out a tissue and wiped the sweat on his hands and said, "If we take on this kind of job a few more times, we can almost retire early."
Yuan Bing rolled his eyes at her and said: "Looking at your potential, I will continue to work. I feel more and more that our industry has a bright future!"
Jiang Mingyu said: "Anything can happen when diving in a cave. The danger is unpredictable. Although I agree to go, I hope we put safety first and make all emergency preparations. We must not risk our lives." ."
"I agree with this, so the agreement should be clear. If it is found that nothing can be done and rescue cannot be carried out, or the other party has been killed, then how should this be calculated? It is best to use the standard text of our company for the agreement. Money is earned. It’s a trivial matter if you don’t make any money. If you don’t have to lose a lot of money then you won’t make a mistake.” Yang Xueting said lightly, and everyone nodded in agreement.
So Ling Hao returned to his office 15 minutes later, smiled at Adeline and said: "We have taken this job, and the agreement is ready. Is there any way you can get a large transport aircraft? At least the C17 At this level, we have large equipment to transport.”
