Chapter 34: Underwater Murder

Once everyone was dressed and equipped with breathing gear, Zhao Xiao, standing behind Lin Shi, suddenly tugged at Lin Shi.

His eyes behind the diving mask squinted at Lin Shi playfully.

Lin Shi chuckled, "What are you winking at? Did you get sand in your eyes?"

It seemed Zhao Xiao wasn't too foolish after all; he had sensed something was amiss.

Setting aside Shen Jinbin's status as a top-tier rich second-generation, it was inherently dangerous for a stranger to suddenly invite you out to play, bring along eight burly men who looked strong, and take you to a desolate place.

Zhao Xiao, initially wanting to latch onto Shen Jinbin's coattails, hadn't noticed the abnormality.

Or rather, ordinary people encountering someone with extraordinary power and influence would instinctively revere and trust them, overlooking many things.

As for Lin Shi, naturally, he had no intention of exposing the truth.

Hearing Lin Shi's words, A Biao, with a scrutinizing gaze, looked towards Zhao Xiao.

Zhao Xiao cursed inwardly.

Awkwardly smiling on his face, he said, "My eyes are a bit uncomfortable.

It's nothing, it's nothing."

The four checked their equipment, and A Biao explained the meaning of several underwater gestures and precautions to Lin Shi and Zhao Xiao.

Then he took the lead and entered the water.

The water in March would usually carry a slight chill, but here in Sha City, the water temperature was just right.

After Lin Shi entered the water, Zhao Xiao, looking at the several bodyguards behind him with a fierce gaze, could only follow suit.

Zhao Xiao was uneasy inside, secretly comforting himself that things might not be as bad as he thought.

The underwater world was a beautiful spectacle, with Lin Shi swimming at the forefront, enjoying the sights.

If it weren't for the constant, subtle gaze and murderous intent from behind, it would have been a pleasant trip.

As the group swam near a coral reef, Shen Jinbin gave A Biao a signal to act.

Seeing the command, A Biao nodded, pulled out a dagger from his thigh, and swam towards Lin Shi.

Watching A Biao getting closer and closer to Lin Shi, Shen Jinbin's eyes behind his diving mask were filled with wild excitement.

Zhao Xiao, because it was his first time diving, had always swum at the back of the group.

Seeing this scene, he was terrified out of his wits! He wanted to warn Lin Shi, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the regulator in his mouth almost fell out, and he quickly shut his mouth.

Watching A Biao swim behind Lin Shi and raise the gleaming dagger, Zhao Xiao's legs went weak with fear.

Zhao Xiao quickly turned his head to look at Shen Jinbin, only to find that Shen Jinbin was actually showing excitement.

It was over! Zhao Xiao despaired.

This was a murder! Realizing it was a murder, Zhao Xiao immediately twisted his body and swam towards the surface.

As for Lin Shi, Zhao Xiao had already concluded in his heart that Lin Shi was as good as dead.

Lin Shi's physique was absolutely no match for a bodyguard; he had to run now! If he was late, he would be silenced!

Zhao Xiao wanted to turn around and ascend, but in his panic during his first dive, he forgot to release his weight, and he flailed in place.

...

Lin Shi felt an unusual current of water behind him.

Without thinking, he immediately twisted his body.

A gleaming dagger slid past his side!

A Biao also didn't expect Lin Shi to dodge, and with a flick of his fins, he slashed again! This time, Lin Shi finally saw clearly that it was aimed at his regulator.

Indeed, even in the peaceful Xia country, these people were not reckless when it came to murder.

This is an attempt to create the illusion of accidental death by suffocating oneself.

Affected by the water resistance, Lin Shi had nowhere to hide, so he reached out and grabbed A Biao's hand holding the dagger, preventing the breathing apparatus from being cut.

A Biao's other hand reached for the breathing apparatus on Lin Shi's face, only to be caught by Lin Shi as well.

The two began to struggle underwater.

A Biao's face was filled with ferocity, along with a hint of shock and astonishment.

He tried his best to break free from Lin Shi's grip, but it was like being clamped by a pair of iron pliers, not budging an inch!

This kid's strength is surprisingly so great!

Lin Shi lifted his foot and forcefully kicked A Biao, retreating more than a meter away.

Just as A Biao was about to pounce forward again, Lin Shi reached behind him and then brought his hand forward again, now holding a pistol!!

A Biao's body, which was originally charging forward, suddenly stiffened, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief and panic:

When did the kid hide the pistol?! Impossible, he had searched him and confirmed that Lin Shi had nothing on him!

Moreover, there was no place to hide a pistol when changing into the diving suit under everyone's watchful eyes! This is impossible!

A Biao even thought he was hallucinating underwater.

Because compared to hallucinations, the gun in Lin Shi's hand seemed even more surreal.

However, the burst of blood from his chest brought A Biao back to reality.

The bullet's speed in water is slowed down by 772 times due to water resistance compared to land.

But relatively, people's movements also become sluggish, and at this distance, even a seasoned fighter like A Biao couldn't dodge.

Three consecutive shots hit the vital spots.

A Biao died without understanding how Lin Shi managed to bring the pistol underwater.

Zhao Xiao also looked at this scene in disbelief, feeling that today's experience was too surreal.

How could Lin Shi possibly have a gun!

Was that Lin Shi, who was so calm, decisive, and skilled with a gun, really the one he knew?

The situation that was thought to be a sure death for Lin Shi suddenly reversed.

The fastest to react among the three was Shen Jinbin.

When Lin Shi pulled out the pistol, Shen Jinbin swiftly swam towards Zhao Xiao, who had been struggling in place.

By the time Lin Shi turned the gun, Shen Jinbin had already swum to Zhao Xiao's side, grabbing the terrified Zhao Xiao and using him as a shield in front of himself!

At the same time, he pressed the deflation button on the diving suit.

Zhao Xiao was so scared that his soul almost left his body, shaking his head at Lin Shi's raised gun during the ascent.

The pistol's range underwater would not exceed 1.5 meters.

Seeing the distance about to be pulled apart, Lin Shi's eyes were cold, and he fired the gun without hesitation.

The bullet broke through the water flow, and there were too many interfering factors in the water.

Originally aiming for Shen Jinbin's head, it hit Zhao Xiao's neck instead.

Zhao Xiao's eyes behind the diving mask widened in horror, and the breathing apparatus in his mouth also fell out, with blood continuously gushing from his mouth, nose, and neck.

Lin Shi wanted to fire a second shot.

At this moment, a school of fish swam between the two.

After the fish passed and the vision was restored, the distance between him and Shen Jinbin had exceeded 2 meters.

Lin Shi fired another shot, but the bullet ran out of force and fell halfway.

Seeing that Lin Shi's pistol was no longer a threat, Shen Jinbin let go of Zhao Xiao, whose pupils had already dilated, and swam towards the surface at a faster speed.

Lin Shi!!

Shen Jinbin's eyes were filled with malice, looking at Lin Shi with extreme resentment, and even made a throat-slitting gesture at Lin Shi during the ascent.

No one had ever made him so embarrassed.

He must kill Lin Shi!!

Shen Jinbin was getting closer and closer to the surface, and the distance between the two had already pulled apart to three meters.

Lin Shi's eyes were deep, and he opened the air in the diving gear to the fullest, removed the weight, and ascended faster than Shen Jinbin.

He swiftly approached Shen Jinbin!
