859 Search for Treasures in the Sea

Most gangs were involved in business now, and seldom committed crimes. However, they were gangs after all, so they were still dealing with drugs and arms, but in a much more careful way.

Hong Yuefei always believed that he could do whatever he wanted because his father was the leader of an influential gang, and it was true until he ran into Gu Ning.

Hong Yuehuan warned Hong Yuefei to stop causing trouble in case their whole family would be implicated in it.

Hong Yuefei wasn't surprised by his older brother's attitude, but he was still very displeased. He didn't dare to argue against his older brother, and hung up the call after complaining for a while.

Hong Yuehuan, as the heir of the Tiandihui, wasn't as mean and aggressive as Hong Yuefei. Instead, he was kind and kept a low profile.

Although he wouldn't help Hong Yuefei take revenge, he would do an investigation on the girl. If he could make friends with her, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

When Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting talked with each other on the phone that night, she didn't tell him that she was going to search for treasures under the sea tomorrow, in case he was worried.

...

The next day, Gu Ning and the others went to meet Li Maosong and his team at 6:50 am. They prepared an MPV, which was able to accommodate seven people. Li Maosong's friends would meet them at the appointed bay.

Li Maosong had already told his friends about how Gu Ning had helped them before, and his friends were looking forward to meeting her. Since Li Maosong told them that Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl, they held great anticipation.

After nearly 40 minutes, they arrived at the bay.

The bay was located in the countryside. Precisely because of that, the land wasn't developed yet, but there were sparse villas for rich people to take a vacation here.

The view was very beautiful with a sky blue ocean.

There were also several yachts stopped by the dock.

A friend of Li Maosong's friend owned a villa here, and his yacht was also stopped here. When he was free on weekends, they would come here to relax. Today was Wednesday, so he asked for a leave to meet with Li Maosong.

They arrived here earlier than Li Maosong's group, and were now wandering on the beach talking about the sunken ship.

They had searched for as much information about it as they could find during the past few days.

The incident happened many years ago. A commander named Hu moved from State F to HK with his whole family, but he encountered a tsunami when he was about to reach HK, and the ship sank. However, the sea area was very large. Many people had come to search for treasure over the years, but they had returned with nothing.

Li Maosong's friends found the ship by accident.

Seeing the car coming, they knew that it must be Li Maosong, so they walked over.

"Hi, Maosong!" A man who walked ahead of two others greeted Li Maosong politely.

"Nice to see you again, Zhaoxuan," Li Maosong said with a smile. "Please let me introduce you. This is Miss Gu that I've told you about. Miss Gu, this is my friend, Shen Zhaoxuan. If you don't mind, you can call him Uncle Shen."

Shen Zhaoxuan was a man around 40 years old, but he looked much younger than his age because he was an exercise lover. The two men behind him were in their late thirties.

"Nice to meet you, Uncle Shen," Gu Ning said.

"Nice to meet you too, Miss Gu!" Shen Zhaoxuan replied. He didn't show any disdain for her just because she was very young. Li Maosong had told him how unbelievable this girl was. Even if he didn't believe Gu Ning, he should trust Li Maosong. Therefore, he would treat Gu Ning with respect for Li Maosong's sake.

Afterwards, they introduced themselves to each other before they went on to the yacht.

After they were all seated, Shen Zhaoxuan told them what he had found out. "I've searched for information about the incident which has happened in the area many years ago. A commander named Hu moved from State F to HK with his whole family, but he encountered a tsunami when he was about to reach HK, and the ship sank. Given his high social status, I believe that there must be many valuable objects in the ship, but the place is too weird to approach."

Li Maosong and his team thought that there must be ghosts or monsters, but they didn't tell Shen Zhaoxuan, because it was hard for others to believe in ghosts and monsters without witnessing them in person.

Gu Ning also reminded Li Maosong and his team to keep it a secret. The fewer people who were aware of it, the better it was.

Shen Zhaoxuan asked Gu Ning all of a sudden, "Miss Gu, what do you think about this strange phenomenon?"

In Shen Zhaoxuan's eyes, Gu Ning couldn't just be a teenager girl. Even though she was young, she looked much more mature than her age.

"Well, I have no idea, because I didn't experience it myself," Gu Ning said.

Since Gu Ning said so, Shen Zhaoxuan stopped asking.

The yacht moved ahead for 20 minutes and they arrived at their destination.

Around this area of the sea, except for a small island not far away, there was only sea water in every direction.

Noticing the small island, Gu Ning suddenly remembered what He Siyin had told her.

"What is that island?" Gu Ning asked.

"It's an undeveloped island without a name. The island isn't large, and it's just as big as two or three football fields. We heard that some people were lost there a while ago, so we were curious and went to have a look. There are just some ancient buildings on the island, which could belong to a certain ancient family or small tribe," Shen Zhaoxuan.

Hearing that, Gu Ning thought that it was highly possible that those lost people were He Siyin's second older brother and his friends.
