Qi Kuan took a breath and then turned to see Li Qing: "do you know what's underwater?"

"I don't know." Li Qing shook his head.

"Do you know there is this thing underwater?"

Li Qing still shook his head: "I don't know."

"Ha ha." Qi Kuan's mouth slightly lifted, "I didn't see too surprised on your face."

"You can doubt it, but please show evidence." Li Qing retorted coldly. This time it was Qi Kuan's turn not to speak.

Ma Baoshan looked at the two men, swallowed saliva and made a round in the middle: "well... Do we have to figure out the meaning of the underwater game first? Otherwise, even if the experts from the scientific research institute come, we can't help it."

"I think so." Qi Kuan snorted, "don't you see the record just finished? It's said that it's very big and can bite through the iron sheet of the boat. How can you find out?"

The policeman beside turned pale and couldn't help interrupting: "it shouldn't be a sea monster."

Qi Kuan said, "whether it's a sea monster or a sea god, if you can't, you can set off a mine to blow it up! This case is much easier. At least the murderer is no longer human."

"Director, the special line from the chief executive."

His body stiffened for a moment. Qi Kuan came back and shrugged at Li Qing and Ma Baoshan: "I'll be scolded again. I'll answer the phone."

Seeing Qi Kuan leaving, Ma Baoshan carefully gathered together with Li Qing: "Master Li, what do we do now? You really don't know what's in the water?"

"Hum, who knows what good things the Chen family have done." Li Qing shouted and walked towards the victims who were taking notes on the other side. Ma Baoshan hurried to follow him.

Seeing a middle-aged man holding a little girl leaning against a small boat shivering, Li Qing suddenly stopped, squatted down slowly and patted the little girl's head: "what's your name?"

"Liu Xiaoman."

It was obviously not like a girl's name. Li Qing couldn't help laughing: "Liu Xiaoman? Who named you?"

"My father raised it."

Li Qing raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man: "are you his father?"

"Yes, yes." the middle-aged man looked honest. When he saw Ma Baoshan with a serious face behind Li Qing, he was a little afraid, "are you..."

"Oh, I'm Li Qing, the owner of the Li family. You should have heard that this harbor north bay belongs to our Li family."

"Ah." the middle-aged man was shocked, and his whole face turned red. "We didn't mean it. We didn't get anything in the sea. We really didn't get anything."

Li Qing pinched the little girl's dirty face, smiled and comforted: "you don't have to worry, I'm not here to trouble you."

Ma Baoshan bent down in the back and said, "Master Li, this little girl is the first to find something wrong."

"Oh." Li qinglue nodded, then glanced at the boat behind the middle-aged man, "is this boat... Yours?"

"Yes, it's mine."

Reaching out and rubbing his temples, Li Qing asked, "can you take me into the sea?"

The middle-aged man who had just settled down suddenly heard Li Qing's words. His heart lifted up again and his whole face was blue: "spare me. I still have children to take care of. Her mother died three years ago and I raised her alone. If something happens to me, how can you let my daughter live?"

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Li Qing patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder: "I'll go with you. You just need to paddle. It'll be fine."

"I..."

"I will give you a high reward and ensure your safety," Li Qing said softly, and then looked at the little girl in the arms of the middle-aged man. "Don't worry, you have such a lovely daughter, I'm reluctant to take her father."

The middle-aged man's hesitation on his face seemed a little uncertain.

Li Qing waved his hand: "you can refuse. I won't embarrass you, but you have to rent the boat to me, and I'll pay you later. Is your surname Liu? Do you mind if I call you Lao Liu?"

The man looked at his daughter in his arms, then bowed his head, remained silent for a while, and asked in a stuffy voice, "you... Want me to go to the sea with you. How much can you give me?"

With a smile, Li Qing said carelessly, "you can make an offer."

His face was tangled. Lao Liu raised his head and asked tentatively, "ten thousand?"

Li Qing took a breath gently. Lao Liu thought the price was too high. He quickly waved his hand: "8000? 8000 head office? It can't be less. It's a matter of gambling."

Standing up slowly, Li Qing said, "Lao Liu, I'll give you 200000. When you think about it clearly, push the boat into the water. Let's start right away."

His eyes widened in disbelief, and Lao Liu trembled all over: "what? How much... How much?"

"200000," Li Qing replied, "if you don't trust me, I can pay you in advance."

"No, no, I'll go with you." Lao Liu loosened his daughter and jumped up from the ground.

"Dad!" although Liu Xiaoman didn't quite understand what they were talking about, he seemed to realize something and hugged Lao Liu's thigh.

"Darling, dad will be back in a minute. Wait for me here."

"No, Dad, I won't let you go."

Lao Liu was worried and pushed his daughter: "let go, you little girl film, always blocking your father's money, are you my enemy in my last life!"

Seeing this, Li Qing squatted down again and grabbed the little girl's shoulder: "Xiaoman, you don't have to worry. I promise you, your father will come back safely. Just wait here, okay?"

"What's your guarantee!" Liu Xiaoman said angrily. He raised his small hand and smoked directly on Li Qing's face. "You want to take my father away. I'll never see him again."

Lao Liu was so frightened that his lips were blue. This is the owner of the Li family. He is a big man who shakes when stepping on the ground and facing the port. How can a child like you slap him.

"Little beast!" Lao Liu was worried. He was afraid that Li Qing would be bad for his daughter, so he had to raise his hand first and teach Liu Xiaoman a lesson. Li Qing stretched out his hand, supported his wrist, smiled and said, "the child is still young and a girl. Don't always hit her."

"That... Child is not sensible, you... You..."

Li Qing waved his hand indifferently: "I don't care about children."

With that, Li Qing gently grasped Liu Xiaoman's small hand, stared at her dirty little face, smiled and said: "I'll be fine, and so will your father. I promise with my life. You and your father will leave Gangbei Bay safely. Do you see the uncle next to you? He's a policeman. If I can't do it, he'll point a pistol at my head, bang, and then I'll be killed by him."

The corner of Ma Baoshan's mouth pulled hard, while Liu Xiaoman giggled.

"Now can I borrow your father for a while? I'll give it back to you soon."

"Don't you have a father? Do you want to borrow mine?" Liu Xiaoman blinked his big eyes and looked innocent. Frowning, she seemed to have made a great determination before whispering, "if you don't have a father, we can share one."

Li Qing's whole face is black. Is his words so ambiguous? Inexplicably, he has a father?

"I believe you, Dad lent it to you." before Li Qing spoke, Liu Xiaoman patted Li Qing on the shoulder, looking quite righteous.

Li Qing stood up with a dark face and told Ma Baoshan, "look after the child and I'll be back in a minute."

"Master Li, it's too dangerous?" Ma Baoshan glared. "We don't know what's underwater. No, I can't let you go down. I have to change someone."

"Change a person? My life is worth money, others' lives are not worth money?" Li Qing's eyebrows picked slightly, "or you go down?"

Ma Baoshan's face stagnated and he was speechless. Li Qing waved to Lao Liu and pushed the boat into the sea with him.

"Uncle, why don't you go down?" Liu Xiaoman looked up at Ma Baoshan and asked with his little head tilted.

"Er, this..." Ma Baoshan scratched his head. "Uncle is too fat and inconvenient to move."

"It's good to be fat." Liu Xiaoman stretched out his small hand and patted Ma Baoshan's big stomach, "I heard from adults that fat people like you can float on the water."

Ma Baoshan turned black and muttered to himself, "who the fuck said this?"

Qi Kuan came over after calling and glanced at Ma Baoshan with Liu Xiaoman: "this is your daughter? How did you bring the child when you saw it for the first time?"

The corners of his eyes twitched fiercely. Ma Baoshan said in a stuffy voice, "this is not mine, that fisherman's. director, Li Qing is going to the sea."

He turned his head and looked at the beach. Qi Kuan meditated for a moment, and the corners of his mouth pursed slightly: "HMM."

"Chief, won't you stop him?"

Qi Kuan looked at Ma Baoshan with a puzzled face: "why do you want to stop him? He wanted to go down, but I didn't push him down."

Ma Baoshan said carefully, "that's the owner of the Li family. If something happens to him, he will have to make a lot of trouble out of thin air."

"Ha ha." Qi Kuan sneered, turned his head again and looked at Li Qing's back. "Do you think he looks like a fool? Don't worry, he will die. Li Qing won't do such a thing."

Qi Kuan pinched Liu Xiaoman's dirty little face and ignored the disgust of the little girl's face.

He took out his lighter and lit a cigarette. Qi Kuan took a sip: "Li Qing must know something. If he's not sure, he won't go into the water. Since he wants to take the lead, we don't need to stop him. We'll see what tricks he can make and save us more trouble."

Ma Baoshan was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded slowly, with a deep surge on his face.
