196: Undersea! A jarring steel pipe!

Disturbing a beautiful woman's normal work.

Letting a beautiful woman be fished up from the seabed... tearing a beautiful woman's diving suit... Item by item, incident by incident, Su Yun felt truly apologetic.

As for Lin Xiaoxue.

She calmed down, patiently thought carefully... Her diving suit was torn.

The work assigned by the bureau had not yet been completed... She was still a rookie investigator.

Various objective factors compelled her not to report it to the bureau.

Her thick eyebrows and large eyes darted around, sizing up Su Yun and the others.

Hmm... except for that Little Fatty who seemed quite sleazy... the other two looked rather decent.

Moreover, she paid special attention: the three of them were holding two video cameras!

They must be live streaming deep-sea fishing!

Lin Xiaoxue puffed out her chest and said, "Alright then!"

"Seeing how sincere you are, I will forgive you!"

"However, let me make this clear... the investigation work for our Ecological Bureau is very complicated!"

"Don't regret this!"

Su Yun smiled, "Don't worry, beautiful."

"A gentleman's word is his bond, and four horses cannot catch it!"

"Even if it means climbing a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of fire, we will help until the end!"

After speaking, he actively extended his hand like a gentleman.

"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Su Yun..."

Lin Xiaoxue looked slightly stunned.

She extended her hand, somewhat slow and wooden, "Lin, Lin Xiaoxue..."

Su, Su Yun? Su Yun!?

The moment their palms touched, Lin Xiaoxue felt as if she had been shocked by electricity.

Her entire body trembled... As a famous "online keyboard warrior" and "internet surfing master,"

She knew Su Yun!

That super fierce man who lived on the trending lists!

That safety publicity ambassador who was constantly reported on by major media outlets!

That "Breaking Bad" master who dared to cook poisonous mushroom hotpot, shocking all of Huaxia!

It was him, it was him, there was no mistake... At this moment.

Lin Xiaoxue's emotions, which had just stabilized,

became slightly chaotic due to Su Yun's appearance... People say that a woman's seventh sense is the strongest.

Lin Xiaoxue now had the feeling that she had boarded a pirate ship!

And the kind... where danger could break out at any time!

Lin Xiaoxue wanted to call the police... She wanted to go home... But the speedboat had already started!

Su Yun asked worriedly, "Miss Lin, are you alright?"

"Your complexion doesn't look very good."

"How about... I give you some acupuncture!?"

As he spoke, he took out a beautifully packaged box of silver needles from his backpack!

Ever since the acupuncture needles broke while defusing the bomb at Fatty Zhang's place last time, it had been a lingering worry for him... After that, Su Yun found a professional master craftsman and custom-made a set of thicker and finer silver needles!

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxue's eyes fell upon the sharp, cold glint of the silver needles.

Hiss... She sharply inhaled a breath of cold air!

A terrifying image flashed in her mind!

She screamed and roared internally: No! I absolutely cannot be pricked by Su Yun's silver needles!

No, no, no... I'll fall apart!

'I haven't experienced the bitterness of love in this lifetime yet...'

'I haven't even dated yet...'

'The bureau hasn't paid me my salary yet...'

All these regrets echoed in Lin Xiaoxue's heart.

She desperately shook her head like a rattle-drum: "No, no need!"

"I'm fine! I'm okay!"

"Please put those away quickly!"

— [Eh? The beautiful woman's attitude changed quite drastically, what's wrong? Did she recognize Brother Su's true identity?]

— [I noticed it too! At first, she was a high and mighty, arrogant tigress! Now she looks a bit like a little lamb or a little white rabbit ready to be slaughtered...]

— [Maybe the beautiful woman is naturally afraid of injections? Sigh! What will she do if she gets sick later on!]

— [Stop joking around! Getting pricked by Brother Su's silver needles is no laughing matter! What if one prick paralyzes someone?]

— [Brother Su: Just try it! It's fun, just one little prick!]

— [Devil! How can you bear to use silver needles on such a beautiful, fair-skinned woman with a stunning figure?]

Su Yun gave a helpless smile.

He turned his head and looked at Wang Fan, "Fatty, since the silver needles are already out."

"Why don't you help me test them?"

"I haven't used these needles yet... You can help me draw first blood..."

Wang Fan: ???

He immediately hugged Chang Wei, who was lying on the seat licking his fur, to his chest.

Still terrified, he cried out, "Bro! If you want to use the needles, go for Chang Wei!"

"My skin is rough and my flesh is thick! My meat isn't easy to pierce!"

... The people on the speedboat chatted idly.

The atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

After a few minutes of travel... Lin Xiaoxue confirmed the coordinates: "Right here!"

"I'm going down to investigate now!"

With a "plop," she jumped down, wearing her torn diving suit.

As for Su Yun and the others.

Based on the idea of accompanying her, picking her up, and not disturbing her... they cast their fishing rods again and leisurely fished on the speedboat.

San'er half-lay on the seat, looking around... "Brother Su, Brother Fatty."

"I haven't been to this area much."

"Just in case, we should leave quickly later."

In this area, there was no surfing or speedboats... Looking out, the sea was vast and boundless... Fatty Wang Fan grinned, "San'er, what are you afraid of!"

"Brother Su is here!"

"Besides, Miss Lin is an ecological investigator... she is familiar with this area!"

"We promised her we would help her complete her work!"

The investigation work.

It was not easy to begin with... Lin Xiaoxue alone was only responsible for surveying the ecological environment on the seabed.

Buzz, buzz, buzz... Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxue heard a strange humming sound underwater.

She followed the sound and approached the coral reef.

Before long.

She discovered... a massive coral reef, appearing like a small mountain, suddenly emerged on the seabed.

Fish, shrimp, and small marine fish were densely swimming around... As Lin Xiaoxue continuously approached.

She reached out to grab the fish... "Eh? That's strange... These fish actually aren't running away? Or hiding?"

She tried several times in succession.

No matter what kind of marine fish they were, they all seemed to have been anesthetized... They were very sluggish, or rather, they offered no resistance whatsoever!

They felt like walking corpses... "Why is this happening?"

Although Lin Xiaoxue was only a newcomer to the Ecological Bureau.

Based on her understanding of marine fish... these schools of fish should not be reacting like this!

They didn't even have an instinctive reaction!

Lin Xiaoxue felt something was wrong... She continued swimming toward the depths of the coral reef... About a minute later... A pitch-black! Dead silent! Chilling and terrifying scene appeared!

The depths of the coral reef, which should have been the most beautiful and ecologically rich area... were full of dead fish! And dead shrimp!

The bodies were either hanging on the coral... or slowly floating toward the surface... Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Lin Xiaoxue suppressed the fear and shock in her heart.

In the pitch-black environment where she couldn't see her own hand... she found a steel pipeline buried deep in the seabed... one that was as thick as a water bucket!
