Turning off someone's oxygen tank in the sea was no different from murder. Upon hearing Lü Songtao's words, everyone was stunned.
Then they could completely understand Xia Qing Tian's reaction.
Previously, they thought Xia Qing Tian was furious because the diving instructor had not discovered Ji Mei Na's situation in time.
Although they also felt the diving instructor had been negligent, a complaint would have sufficed. There was no need for her to be so angry.
But if it was as Lü Songtao said, then this diving instructor was intentionally trying to kill someone. He deserved to be crippled.
"You! Are you all ganging up on me! You!" The diving instructor's face turned pale, and his voice trembled as he weakly argued.
"Whether it's ganging up on me or conclusive evidence, we'll know everything when the police arrive." Xia Qing Tian's body was still trembling with anger, but she had regained her composure. She turned to the on-site director and asked, "Did Mei Na have a first-person underwater camera attached?"
"She did," the on-site director nodded. To get more footage for editing, every guest was equipped with one.
"Fine! Then let the police come!" The diving instructor was not afraid of this at all. After all, he was behind Ji Mei Na at the time, and the oxygen tank was on his back. The camera didn't capture him.
Just a trashy minor celebrity, and she was being coy about giving out her contact information. What a joke.
He just wanted to teach her a lesson. This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. Without proof, what could they do to him?
"Export the footage from my and Lü Songtao's cameras as well," the diving instructor thought of it, and Xia Qing Tian naturally did too. "We were both there at the time."
Hearing Xia Qing Tian say that, the diving instructor's eyes became flustered again.
"Teacher Lü's footage has been exported, and it shows it!" A staff member zoomed in on the screen and said angrily, "He turned off the guest's oxygen tank!"
Now the evidence was conclusive, and everyone clenched their fists in anger.
"It was... it was just a joke! What's wrong? Isn't she fine now!" The diving instructor immediately changed his tune upon hearing this. "Let's get this straight, I was also helping you create buzz for the show, right? What? Are celebrities amazing? Can't even crack a joke?"
"A joke?" Xia Qing Tian clenched her fists by her sides. "Alright, let me crack a joke for you too!"
Taking large strides, Xia Qing Tian moved towards the diving instructor.
"Hey! I'm warning you! I! I'll sue you!" Seeing Xia Qing Tian's demeanor, the diving instructor immediately said, "If I get hurt! I won't let you go! Be careful, I'll make sure you can't be a celebrity anymore!"
Xia Qing Tian's gaze grew colder. Did she still care about that?
At this moment, an arm blocked Xia Qing Tian's path.
"Young Master Tong?" Xia Qing Tian looked at Tong Nian Zhe who was blocking her.
"This matter has nothing to do with you." Tong Nian Zhe's expression was extremely grim, his eyes filled with killing intent.
After stopping Xia Qing Tian, Tong Nian Zhe walked directly towards the diving instructor, grabbed him by the neck with one hand, and dragged him to the side of the boat. Anyone who tried to intervene was frozen in place by Tong Nian Zhe's icy glare.
"You! What do you want to do! I! I warn you! My live stream has hundreds of thousands of fans! I! I'll sue you! I'll make you... mmmph..."
Before the diving instructor could finish speaking, Tong Nian Zhe shoved his head into the icy seawater.
By now, everyone knew they should step forward to persuade him, but Tong Nian Zhe, in his rage, was truly terrifying. They wanted to persuade him but didn't dare.
Only when the diving instructor was about to suffocate did Tong Nian Zhe pull his head out.
"I... I warn you! I... will make sure you can't be a celebrity anymore!"
Before the diving instructor could finish speaking, Tong Nian Zhe shoved him in again.
"Cough, cough, cough! I warn you..." After several repetitions, the diving instructor's lips began to turn pale, and his eyes became unfocused.
"Young Master Tong, if you continue, something serious will happen!" Ji Jun couldn't help but speak up to stop him.
"Whatever happens, I'll take responsibility," Tong Nian Zhe said coldly, monotonously repeating his action.
"If something really happens, you might never be able to continue in this industry!" Ling Feng Han added nervously.
They could tell that Tong Nian Zhe was truly angry.
That diving instructor deserved to die, but was it worth sacrificing Tong Nian Zhe's future for it?
"Then I won't be in the industry anymore," Tong Nian Zhe said indifferently. He continued until the diving instructor no longer dared to utter any provocative words, trembling like a drenched chick, completely deflated.
"I'm sorry... I-I'm sorry... Please let me go..." The diving instructor's teeth chattered, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Scary? How does it feel to be unable to breathe in the water? Do you still think it's a joke?" Tong Nian Zhe said, gripping the diving instructor's neck. "Answer me!"
"I'm sorry... I was wrong... I-I'm sorry!" The diving instructor met Tong Nian Zhe's eyes and felt a chill spreading from the bottom of his heart.
He could feel that the person in front of him truly wanted to kill him!
The fear of death washed over him, accompanied by the stinging pain of seawater entering his throat and nostrils, and the feeling of suffocation...
This was the first time he felt so close to death...
After a few more times, the diving instructor no longer had the strength to apologize or beg for mercy, but Tong Nian Zhe still showed no signs of stopping.
"Tong Nian Zhe..." a faint voice called out, followed by a hand gently resting on his arm.
This voice brought Tong Nian Zhe back to his senses. He turned his head sharply and saw Ji Mei Na, her face pale and wrapped in a thick towel.
"Tong Nian Zhe, I'm fine." Ji Mei Na was stunned by the scene upon waking up.
But she didn't have time to be afraid. If she didn't stop Tong Nian Zhe, his life might truly be ruined.
Reaching out, Tong Nian Zhe abruptly pulled Ji Mei Na into his embrace.
Little Ji Mei Na seemed like she could break her waist if he just squeezed a little harder.
So small, so fragile.
Ji Mei Na was startled by being suddenly embraced by Tong Nian Zhe, then she let out a shallow smile and nestled against his chest.
So warm.
The diving instructor, who had escaped Tong Nian Zhe's grasp, leaned against the side of the boat, looking as if he had been completely skinned, utterly deflated.
The on-site director didn't dare to relax. He had two staff members keep an eye on the diving instructor, while others called the police or provided thermal protection for the guests.
Xia Qing Tian also put on a towel, gazing at Tong Nian Zhe and Ji Mei Na who were still hugging each other. Her pale lips were pressed together, and the corners of her mouth curved into a faint smile.
Her long-pursued couple was finally together~
