Chapter 119: Lure Out to Sea
When buying a residence earlier, Xu Haibao specially instructed the firm to make the location of the residence as quiet as possible, and it didn't matter if it was remote. The reason for making such a request is more to have too much contact with the outside world.
Moreover, in order to practice more safely, Xu Haibao is not suitable for living in a crowded place. In addition, the profession is shipwreck salvage, and it is also necessary to have less contact with outsiders, so as not to accidentally leak any secrets.
I have to say that there are certain benefits to doing so. Zhao Ji and the others were able to find out so quickly that someone was monitoring them, more because of the place where they were, except for the residents, there were few outsiders to patronize.
Even if Zhao Ji and the others retired for a while, the professional habits developed by the army made them pay attention to the surrounding situation every time they went to a new place. Some dangerous locations are areas where they focus on following and guarding.
Although this mentality is a bit too sensitive, it is somewhat unlikely that this habit will be changed at once. Those watchers did not dare to follow and stalk, and many times used telephoto lenses to take candid shots.
Although the telephoto lens is safer than a sniper rifle, for Zhao Ji and others, their earlier missions are highly confidential, and they are also extremely sensitive to this kind of candid photography. When they found out that someone was secretly filming, they naturally felt strange.
After all, they have all been retired from active service for a while, and they have just arrived in Xiangjiang, so they have no contact with outsiders. It's really strange that someone is secretly filming them.
Out of the habit of professional development, Zhao Ji quickly sent people to conduct counter-reconnaissance and tracking. As expected, the person who these candid photographers are really following, and the person who is really going to follow the candid photographer is Xu Haibao, who summoned them here.
The next day after getting Zhao Ji's report, Xu Haibao came out of the villa early in the morning to run as usual. When leaving the apartment, Xu Haibao glanced at the small western-style building next to him, and soon found that the third-floor window of the small western-style building was decisively shaking.
"It's really dedicated! But next, how are you going to track it?"
It is not the first time that Xu Haibao has been stalked and secretly photographed, and he is still very calm. Judging from Zhao Ji's current information, these stalkers should be acting on orders and have not yet shown any intention of making direct contact with them.
This means that these trackers have a lot of plans. Thinking about it from another angle, what is Xu Haibao worth secretly filming and tracking? I'm afraid that I don't have to think too much, that is, someone is eyeing Xu Haibao, as well as Zhao Ji and others who were summoned.
A company registered for the salvage of marine shipwrecks and sold a number of eye-catching foreign ancient gold and silver coins. Some well-intentioned people must suspect that Xu Haibao should find clues to some shipwrecks and gather people to carry out salvage.
Now tracking and secretly shooting, it should be to grasp the whereabouts of Xu Haibao and his party. According to the whereabouts of Xu Haibao and others, the next move of Xu Haibao and others was analyzed. If possible, it may give some people a chance!
It's a pity that Xu Haibao is not a rookie, and Zhao Ji and others are not easy to mess with. These people sent to follow them were discovered before they could grasp any useful clues, and they were doomed to be tricked.
After finishing the daily exercise, Zhao Ji arranged for two team members to stay behind. The rest of the team members who were called up soon set out to sea on a chartered yacht. Looking at the yacht docked at the dock, the watcher was indeed a little panicked.
"No! They look like they're going to sea, what should they do?"
"Report the situation immediately, change another group of people to follow, and make sure to find out where they are going!"
After the watchers reported the situation, the behind-the-scenes commanders really sent another group of people to charter yachts and speedboats to follow them. Xu Haibao, who has already gone to sea, is enjoying the island scenery around the Xiangjiang River with Zhao Ji and others.
Regarding the matter of the monitor, Zhao Ji did not make a big fuss. Even the members of the other task forces are unaware of the hidden dangers lurking around them. But this experience made Zhao Ji and the members of the security team realize that the water in this line of salvage is indeed very deep!
"Swordfish, where are we going next?"
"Tell the captain to take us around Lamma Island, where the island scenery is good, and the fishermen's feast on the island is very authentic. Let's try diving in the open sea first, then go to the island for dinner at noon, and come back in the afternoon!"
"Good!"
After arriving in Xiangjiang, as the person in charge of the security team, Zhao Ji and the rest of the hired team members also learned some about Xiangjiang. As for the Lamma Island mentioned by Xu Haibao, they naturally know a little.
And the most famous of Lamma Island is nothing more than a big star Fa Ge who is well-known in Xiangjiang. But for Xu Haibao, there is actually another well-known figure on Lamma Island, that is, Liu Xiang, a great pirate during the Ming Dynasty.
As a member of the most well-known 'Eighteen Zhi' armed maritime business groups in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Xiang's final ending was very sad. But at that time, it was these people who maintained the security of the sea areas around China, so that foreign armed maritime merchants did not dare to provoke easily.
When it comes to pirates, many people think of treasures. Hearing Xu Haibao tell about the history of Lamma Island, Wang Yuzhu, who had a straightforward personality, quickly said: "Swordfish, do you say that pirates like Liu Xiang will also have treasures and others to discover?"
"You ask me, I ask who to go! Although I don't know if Liu Xiang left behind any secret treasures, there should be a lot of treasures related to pirates hidden in the waters around my country. Just trying to find it, I'm afraid it's not that easy!"
As everyone gradually knows what they will be engaged in in in the future, Wang Yuzhu and others are also looking forward to the opportunity to uncover some treasures and secrets left over from history in the future. Adventure treasure hunting is attractive to many men.
In fact, in his previous life, Xu Haibao also had a treasure hunt with a legendary pirate. It's just that at that time, the salvage company spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but still got nothing. Sometimes, it takes a bit of luck to unearth pirate treasures!
When the yacht arrived off Lamma Island, the sea was calm and the weather conditions were very good. Xu Haibao also said in a timely manner: "Jellyfish, it's rare to go to the sea today, do you want to go to the sea and feel it again?"
Compared with Wang Yuzhu's body, which has basically returned to his previous state in the army, You Guangwei and others, codenamed 'Jellyfish', have also been taking the medicine prepared by Xu Haibao. But since their retirement, they haven't really tried to dive again.
In the face of Xu Haibao's inquiry, You Guangwei, who felt that his body had indeed recovered a lot, also said with some expectation: "Yes, it's just that we are diving now, it won't have any effect, right?"
"Probably not! I've learned a lot about your situation. As long as you don't hit the water level too deep for the time being, it doesn't matter if you go into the water to find the feeling of diving. Today is just looking for feelings, don't be too forced.
If you want to go into the water, move your body in advance, and then go to the sea to test the dive in turn. The depth of the sea here should be about 100 meters. If you dive yourself, you just do what you can. If you feel unwell, you can float up in advance, and that's okay. ”
"Okay, let's try then!"
As professional divers invited by Xu Haibao, You Guangwei and others have indeed not tried to dive into the sea since they retired from the army. For them, it's not that they don't want to, but they don't dare. Now that there is a chance to try again, they are naturally looking forward to it.
During the time they came to Xiangjiang, they already knew that Wang Yuzhu, who was the first to be invited, was similar to the situation before they retired. After a period of deployment, Wang Yuzhu's freediving results are even better than when he was in the army.
If equipped with professional diving equipment, I am afraid that Wang Yuzhu will dare to challenge deeper seas. This also means that the root of Wang Yuzhu's illness in the army has now been basically removed. And they are also in the recovery stage.
It is indeed necessary to find out how it feels to dive in the sea through test diving. It is also very necessary to let them feel the changes in their bodies through this kind of test dive. This also ensures that in the future, when you actually get on board, you will be able to start working directly.
When You Guangwei and others began to move their bodies, intending to do their first freediving after retirement. The security team, who had been watching from behind the yacht, soon saw that not far from them, there was a yacht also swinging.
Although the two yachts are far away, they can still be seen through high-powered telescopes, and there are still people monitoring them remotely. Even next to that yacht, there were two speedboats following.
Listening to Zhao Ji's report, Xu Haibao glanced at the yacht on the sea in the distance, and said with a smile: "It's okay! Let them keep an eye on it! As long as they don't come to make trouble, then we will ignore them." After all, we're out to play today!"
In Xu Haibao's view, the sea area where the yacht is currently located is still some distance from the open sea. In general, there are not many people who dive in this area. Now that Xu Haibao suddenly stopped the boat and was about to launch it, it would naturally be strange.
Just as Xu Haibao thought, he saw Xu Haibao and his party from a distance, and jumped into the sea one after another to start diving. The person in charge of monitoring the yacht in the distance also quickly reported the situation to the mastermind behind the scenes.
Hearing this situation report, the behind-the-scenes commander quickly said: "Mark the specific location of the other party's diving and send a speedboat over to take a turn." I want to know if they are there, if they have salvaged anything. Remember, don't alarm the other person!"
"Yes, boss!"
With You Guangwei and others entering the water one after another, they began to test dive under the personal escort of Xu Haibao. After retiring, these veterans who no longer dared to try deep diving gradually regained the feeling of being in the army back then.
Although some people dive to a certain depth, they still feel a little unwell. Compared to the situation when I first retired, it has been significantly improved. This also shows that the medicine prepared by Xu Haibao is indeed effective.
But Zhao Ji and the others who were on the yacht, looking at the high-speed speedboat shuttling quickly from the yacht, he and Tang Xingyou both felt that something was wrong. It's just that the other party didn't bother, and Zhao Ji naturally didn't want to drive him away.
After all, if they can come to this sea, then so can others. As long as the other party does not endanger the safety of the yacht, they are not good at protesting. But Zhao Ji thinks that Xu Haibao should not be as simple as trying to dive when he takes them to the sea, right?
