"*&%￥#@."
[?]
[Sorry, could you please repeat that? The system didn't catch it clearly.]
Xiao He said with righteous confidence, "You didn't hear me clearly? That's not my fault! There definitely is a criminal like that! One who can drive all kinds of basic vehicles! If you don't believe me, check yourself! I'm definitely not wrong! Hurry up! Your own problems shouldn't affect me!"
He refused to believe that among all the people in the world, throughout history, there wasn't a single criminal who was such an all-rounder!
The system fell silent for a second, and then actually searched and found a real corresponding person who had existed.
[Are you referring to DB Cooper?]
[DB Cooper Criminal Resume: The most mysterious criminal of 1971, who once perfectly hijacked a Boeing 727. According to system investigation, his real name was Robenson Creek. He was proficient in driving cars, motorcycles, airplanes, and other basic vehicles. In 1971, using his knowledge of airplanes...]
Xiao He had no time to listen to the "glorious deeds" of other criminals and immediately confirmed: "Yes! Yes! That's him! Copy his driving skills!"
[Congratulations on obtaining "Driving Skills," automatically learned]
[Driving Skills Details: Driving techniques copied from DB Cooper. All-around driving coverage, calmly handles various traffic situations, helps you use vehicles for crime more efficiently and safely.]
"Hey! Don't touch the instruments on the boat!"
Out in the sea, the driver, holding the female artist in the water, saw Xiao He suddenly sit in the driver's seat and immediately shouted a warning anxiously from the water.
"Xi... Xiao Ge—"
Xiao Chen also called out to Xiao He timidly.
Xiao He, however, simply closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his face was full of confidence.
"Sit tight, hold onto the handrails!"
As he spoke, the speedboat's engine started working again, and the propeller made a dull roar in the water.
The three people on the boat leaned back, and both Liu Rulan and Xiao Chen instinctively grabbed the handrails firmly.
The next moment, the speedboat spun in a circle right there in the sea, then charged towards the direction of the driver and the female artist in the water.
The female artist let out a scream and closed her eyes in terror. When the wave crashed over her and she opened her eyes again, she found that the speedboat had cut sideways through the wave and stopped steadily right in front of their faces.
In standard rescue procedures, when encountering such rough waves, the principle is not to charge directly through due to the extremely high risk.
But sorry, the "criminal skill" Xiao He just learned inherently has no principles.
"You two, grab onto the side of the boat."
Xiao He called out loudly.
The driver was shocked by Xiao He's driving skills, but also helped the female artist cling to the side of the boat.
However, the water resistance was strong, and it was very difficult for them to climb out of the water by themselves.
But the next moment, the speedboat started moving again.
The speedboat spun in a very tight circle at high speed. The entire boat began to tilt due to the sharp turn, startling the other two people on board into screaming. Then the boat righted itself, tilting towards the opposite direction.
The two people in the water were suddenly pulled out of the water with force due to the pull generated by the boat returning to balance, and then uncontrollably tumbled headfirst into the speedboat.
Although the fall was somewhat painful, compared to their lives, it was really nothing to complain about.
Without any delay, the speedboat made another turn and continued heading in the direction Xiao Chen had pointed out earlier. At the same time, Xiao He reminded loudly: "Xiao Chen, quickly find where that person is now!"
Xiao Chen didn't dare delay and immediately widened his eyes to look around. Liu Rulan also started searching carefully.
Soon, it was the sharp-eyed Xiao Chen who spotted a floating sleeve first.
"Over there, over there!"
Xiao Chen quickly came to Xiao He's side and pointed out the direction.
Xiao He pushed the throttle handle forcefully, and the speedboat raced to Xu Yin's side.
This time, without needing any instructions, Liu Rulan proactively jumped into the water.
After all, the driver had also expended too much energy in the seawater and was still catching his breath. As the only other person who could swim, she naturally felt duty-bound.
However, Xiao He had stopped very close this time. Liu Rulan didn't have to swim far. She directly held the unconscious Xu Yin, secured the life ring under his armpits, then held the life ring with one hand and grabbed his arm with the other. She looked up at Xiao He: "He's not very conscious now, I'm afraid he can't get up by himself—"
Xiao He: "Simple."
Xiao He looked at Xiao Chen: "Xiao Chen, pull the rope tight, tie it to the other side, then sit on this side and get ready to receive the person."
Xiao Chen quickly used all his strength to pull the rope taut. The driver, who had reacted, also helped tie a sturdy knot.
"Sister Liu, hold on tight."
"I'm fine."
Then, using the same technique, Xiao He deftly swung the two people in the water onto the boat. Liu Rulan, already mentally prepared, flipped over after landing on the boat and landed nimbly on the deck. The unconscious Xu Yin, however, fell into Xiao Chen's arms, and Xiao Chen half-dragged, half-carried him back onto the boat.
With that, both discovered individuals who had fallen into the water were successfully rescued onto the boat.
The driver, who had experience rescuing drowning victims, immediately began performing CPR on Xu Yin to help him expel the water from his stomach.
Xiao He, meanwhile, turned the speedboat around and headed back to the shore.
By now, the beach was already in chaos. Ever since it was discovered that the two teams participating in the race at sea had capsized, the watching fans had become restless, extremely worried about the situation on the water. After six people were frantically rescued and brought back, the fans were even more frantic.
The ones not yet rescued were the singer Xu Yin and the actress Huang Ziqian.
Although their status wasn't as high as the ones who had been rescued, they were still two lives. Not only were their own fans worried, but other fans and bystanders were also very concerned.
If something happened, it would be a real problem!
The program crew quickly sent more people to search the sea surface. However, soon after, they saw Xiao He driving the speedboat back to shore.
Sitting on the boat were precisely their two missing guests!
The program crew staff all breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how powerful their Director Liu's background was, if a death occurred this time, their program really wouldn't be able to air!
Xiao He stopped the boat and had Xiao Chen and the driver help the slightly conscious Xu Yin walk off the boat, while Liu Rulan supported Huang Ziqian.
Somehow, cheers and applause actually came from the crowd on the periphery, making it seem like heroes returning from a rescue mission in a movie.
Xiao He found it a bit exaggerated, but when he heard their cheers and applause, he still felt quite good.
And even the heavens appropriately parted the clouds, revealing the bright sunshine once again.
Looking at the dazzling sunlight falling on the beach, Liu Rulan finally relaxed and turned to look at Xiao He, as if seeing him for the first time: "You actually know how to drive a speedboat?"
Xiao He paused for a moment, then scratched his head and laughed it off: "Didn't you say before that I should learn how to drive a speedboat? So I privately studied some manuals, and observed a few times during these recent trips out to sea. It's really quite simple!"
Liu Rulan: ...Is this guy humble-bragging?
The driver who had overheard a few words: ...Damn! Such a dazzling talent!!!
Just at that moment, the program's chief director, Liu Chenyan, walked over with a smile on his face: "A real hero, a great hero. Fortunately, you were here this time, otherwise our program crew would have suffered this unforeseen disaster."
Xiao He looked Liu Chenyan up and down, sneering inwardly.
Unforeseen disaster? With the way your program is run, you have the nerve to call this event an "unforeseen disaster"?
Forcing guests who can't swim to go out to sea and paddle boats, deliberately replacing the boats with colorful but poor-quality plastic boats for the sake of program difficulty and hype, forcing the competing guests to have a second race, not setting up any safety net zones on-site, letting the guests swim so far out, and the most crucial safety measure being just two speedboats and a few lifeguards.
Hah, this isn't an unforeseen disaster; this was bound to happen sooner or later!
The way this program is run, they can only go out at noon, because if they go out morning or evening, an accident is inevitable!
