Chapter 952 Old Master Ji's Worries
"Someone died at such a famous scenic spot?"
"How could such a major accident occur in this place that is touted as the safest deep-sea diving area?"
Although the scenic area wanted to suppress the news, and Ji Xiuhan also wanted to suppress it, there were just too many people coming here, and they came from all over the world, making it impossible to prevent.
Even though the news was suppressed in English and Chinese, it was still being circulated in Spanish and Latin.
The internet today doesn't distinguish between languages; translation is readily available.
Meanwhile, in Ningcheng, Li Yue'e and Grandpa Ji had been living in constant fear and worry about Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing.
After all, Ji Xiuhan's acquisition of over one trillion yuan in assets from the Ye family couldn't be kept secret from Old Master Ji and Li Yue'e.
The two were both shocked and worried by Ji Xiuhan's extravagant and ruthless methods.
What is the background of the Ye family in the capital?
One of the three great families in the capital, ranking second.
That's a true behemoth, with influence spanning all sectors, including politics and business. The Ye family has members in both.
Going against them is simply courting death.
Moreover, they also learned that the current head of the Ye family is a formidable figure, known as a ruthless and ambitious leader.
Such a person is someone you absolutely cannot afford to offend.
But now Ji Xiuhan has not only offended the Ye family, but also held a lottery event and took Lu Wanqing on a trip to the Maldives, without considering his own safety at all.
How could the Ye family let such an opportunity slip by?
Therefore, Li Yue'e and Grandpa Ji kept following the news from the Maldives all day long, and also kept asking the bodyguards who accompanied Ji Xiuhan.
As for the bodyguards, Ji Xiuhan had already instructed them not to reveal anything about the situation there, so as not to worry Old Master Ji and Li Yue'e.
Therefore, although the two elders were worried, they were unaware that several groups of assassins had already made their move.
That day, Grandpa Ji was looking at his phone while wearing his reading glasses when he suddenly exclaimed, "Someone died at the scenic area?"
The loud shout startled Li Yue'e, who was in another room, and she quickly walked over.
Then, she saw a message with a picture on Grandpa Ji's phone screen, which was from the diving scenic area.
She was startled and quickly took out her phone to search. She soon saw the news: people had indeed died in the diving area, and not just one, but two.
Li Yue'e's heart jumped into her throat, but she quickly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two dead men were both men.
But then he shook his head violently: "Why have those two kids been there for so long? Haven't they come back yet? Has that little bastard still not won over Wanqing after all these days?"
She couldn't wait for Ji Xiuhan to bring Lu Wanqing back. After all, Ningcheng was their territory, and once they returned, no one could possibly harm the Ji family.
Just as Li Yue'e was talking to herself, Wang Youran returned from outside and immediately asked upon hearing this, "Auntie, are you talking about Wanqing and the others?"
Her shout even reached Grandma Lu, who immediately came out. "You Ran's back! Auntie, what news were you watching? Was it about those two kids?"
Grandma Lu was naturally the most concerned about Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing, but she was illiterate and couldn't read the news on her phone.
“How could it have anything to do with them?” Old Master Ji quickly changed the subject. “It was just two ordinary tourists who got into trouble. My dear in-laws, do you think they’re the only ones who go to the Maldives for tourism?”
Of course, Grandma Lu couldn't know about this, since she had just undergone major surgery and was still recovering.
“That makes sense.” Grandma Lu nodded, then looked at Wang Youran. “Youran, quickly take out your phone and show Grandma Lu the news over there. I also want to know if the place they went to was fun and safe.”
In fact, Grandma Lu had already heard Grandpa Ji's scream and vaguely sensed that something bad was about to happen.
Wang Youran, unaware of the details, hurriedly took out her phone to search for news about the Maldives upon hearing this.
But she searched several times and didn't find any negative news. Even the news that Grandpa Ji had just seen was gone.
Grandpa Ji was completely unaware of this and quickly shook his head at Wang Youran.
Wang Youran was increasingly confused, but her intuition told her that something must have happened. Her heart tightened, and she continued her search.
After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find any bad news.
"You Ran, what's the news over there? Your Grandpa Ji seemed to have screamed just now!"
Grandma Lu kept staring at Wang Youran's phone and couldn't help but ask more questions.
"There's no big news, everything's normal!" Wang Youran laughed. "Many articles are saying that the weather there is exceptionally nice today, sunny and breezy, not too hot or too cold, perfect for a trip!"
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Ji and Li Yue'e quickly took out their phones and checked again. Sure enough, the message had disappeared.
Although the message was deleted, their worries only intensified.
It's obvious that someone deliberately deleted this to avoid causing a major impact.
But how could two people die out of nowhere?
There must be something wrong here.
They were genuinely worried that these two deaths might be related to Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing.
“You Ran,” Li Yue’e couldn’t contain her worry any longer, “call Wan Qing and ask them how their trip is going.”
During this time, in order not to disturb the young couple's trip, they hadn't contacted Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing on their own initiative. Even when they wanted to know about the two, they always did so through Wang Youran.
"Okay, okay. I'll send Wanqing a text message first to see if she's free."
Wang Youran also began to have doubts, fearing that if she made a phone call, some bad news might come from the other end and be overheard by Grandma Lu.
The text message was sent out very quickly.
Meanwhile, in the Maldives, Lu Wanqing was helped aboard a cruise ship by Ji Xiuhan, who hugged and cuddled her.
Lu Wanqing finally relaxed completely, but as soon as she relaxed, she couldn't help but think about what had just happened. Why would someone want to cut her oxygen tube?
She didn't know anyone in the Maldives, and she hadn't offended anyone.
Then, a group of bodyguards, disguised as tourists, came up, complaining, "Isn't the Maldives supposed to have the best security measures? How come something like this suddenly happened, and there's this mentally unstable person showing up?"
Hearing the crowd's discussion, Lu Wanqing was stunned. Could it be that the person who wanted to harm her was a lunatic?
At this moment, Ji Xiuhan spoke up and asked, "You said that a mentally unstable person went down to the diving spot just now?"
Immediately, a bodyguard chimed in, "Yes, yes, Mr. Ji, didn't you know? There was a fatality in the diving area just now, and two people died!"
Two people died!
These words nearly made Lu Wanqing's heart jump out of her throat. She couldn't help but scream and look at the bodyguard who had spoken in astonishment.
