疯狂的妻子

Huahai City was home to a luxurious five-star hotel. The establishment had recently hosted the visit of His Royal Highness, the prince of country A. As a result, security measures across the entire hotel had been considerably heightened, particularly on the floor where the prince had resided.

Within the opulent presidential suite, the princess took full responsibility for a recent mishap and again apologized to her significant other. "I\'m so sorry, my love. It\'s entirely my fault - I lost our engagement necklace."

His Royal Highness offered words of comfort to the distressed princess.

"Don\'t blame yourself too much. You also had an unfortunate accident and fell into the sea. That\'s why I issued a reward announcement of 20 million knives, in the hopes of salvaging the necklace."

Princess Wang\'s spirits appeared dampened as she expressed her doubts.

"I don\'t know, though. The water depth there is over 300 meters, which is close to the limit for diving. Moreover, the necklace is so small - it would be incredibly difficult to locate it on the ocean floor."

The challenge of locating the necklace in a salvage depth of over 300 meters made the task seem all the more daunting. However, salvaging the chain on the ocean floor would become more straightforward once located.

After some careful consideration, His Royal Highness made a decision. "Let\'s extend our stay in Huahai City for another two days. We can leave once we\'ve exhausted all possibilities of finding the necklace."

As he concluded, His Royal Highness added a final thought. "I want to make it clear that the 20 million knives reward will remain valid indefinitely. Regardless of who salvages the necklace or when they do it, they will receive the reward from me."

The princess joined in, her tone hopeful. "May God bless us, and let\'s hope that someone can find and retrieve the necklace within the next two days."

"Agreed," replied His Royal Highness, agreeing with the sentiment.

The announcement of the 20 million US dollar reward was akin to dropping a bombshell on the city of Huahai.

The news of the reward spread like wildfire across various media platforms, including television, the internet, and mobile phones. Soon enough, even ordinary citizens became aware of the unprecedented reward offer.

The announcement of the 20 million US dollar reward for the lost necklace triggered a wave of intense discussions among the public.

"I can\'t believe it - $20 million! I wish I could be the one to find it," exclaimed one individual.

"Stop dreaming! It\'s nearly impossible - like finding a needle in a haystack," responded another, dampening the initial excitement.

However, some remained hopeful.

"There are always professionals who can take up the challenge. With the right equipment and technology, it\'s still possible," they added.

Especially the massive reward of 20 million US dollars can attract everyone\'s attention.

The news of the lost necklace and the 20 million US dollar reward spread like wildfire through social media. Friends shared the news, and in no time, the information was being forwarded from one person to another, multiplying exponentially.

The speed at which the news got transmitted was nothing short of unprecedented. Within hours, it had reached many people across the city and beyond.

Liu Yong has already prepared things, and Chen Hu is driving to the pier.

Seeing the news in the circle of friends on WeChat, Liu Yong smiled slightly and thought, I hope I can be that lucky one.

At the pier, as Liu Yong loaded his belongings onto the yacht, he asked Chen Hu, "Do you know how to drive a yacht?"

Chen Hu replied confidently, "No problem, I\'m capable of driving this yacht."

Liu Yong nodded in agreement. He realized inviting other people to drive the yacht would complicate matters further.

Chen Hu, on the other hand, was his bodyguard and had proved to be trustworthy and loyal over time. Liu Yong had complete faith in him, so he felt relieved and comfortable entrusting him with such an important task.

Chen Hu drove the yacht, and reaching the target sea area took about an hour and a half.

Upon arriving at the location, Liu Yong was surprised to see at least seven or eight ships within a radius of one or two kilometers.

He hadn\'t anticipated such a high level of competition, but he knew he couldn\'t give up just yet. He had to find a way to stand out and increase his chances of finding the necklace.

Some are simply fishing boats, and there are also three or four professional salvage boats.

It was the first one to drive a large yacht like Liu Yong.

As soon as the yacht arrived, it immediately caught the attention of several people on nearby boats.

"Look, someone\'s coming with a yacht."

"It\'s probably just here to watch the show."

"I don\'t think they have the professional salvage equipment to find and retrieve the necklace."

Others laughed and dismissed Liu Yong\'s chances of success, especially the professionals who had been attempting to salvage the necklace for days.

The professionals on the nearby boats had thoroughly prepared for the salvage operation. They had professional salvage ships, advanced personal diving equipment, underwater wired communication equipment, underwater search equipment, and many other advanced tools and devices.

They had been trying to locate the necklace for days and had failed. They thought a small yacht like Liu Yong\'s would have no chance of finding the necklace. But Liu Yong was determined to try his luck and see if he could find the necklace using his methods.

For example, the exploration robot used on a specific salvage ship with a long line behind it. What the robot sees underwater, the image will be sent back to the boat through the data line.

Diving into such depths requires a lot of physical and mental strength and professional skills. The risk of nitrogen narcosis, oxygen toxicity, and other decompression sicknesses is also a concern. However, Guo\'s team was well-equipped with experienced divers familiar with deep-sea diving operations.

Liu Yong was getting ready to dive, paying no attention to the people watching him. He was confident and prepared to take the plunge. Liu Yong felt so at ease in the water that he could have dived without wearing any gear or oxygen tank, opting only for a pair of underpants. He didn\'t do it only to avoid drawing attention to himself.

Bawang can quickly dive to depths of one or two thousand meters. While Liu Yong and Bawang have different physical builds, it is still possible for Liu Yong to dive to depths of three to five hundred meters without any significant issues.

Liu Yong told Chen Hu, "You stay in the cockpit, I\'ll dive down to the bottom of the sea to look for it."

Chen Hu seemed a little worried and replied, "Boss, please be careful and make sure to prioritize your safety. I\'ll wait for you on the boat."

Liu Yong appeared relaxed and confident, replying, "Don\'t worry, I\'m highly skilled in water activities. There won\'t be any problems."

Chen Hu initially wanted to point out that deep-sea diving requires more than just good swimming skills, but he knew that once Liu Yong made up his mind, there was no use in trying to persuade him otherwise.

Liu Yong appeared unfazed by the task ahead. As he approached the stern of the yacht, he noticed a deck that had

been carefully designed to be lowered to the seawater level, making it easy to enter the water.

He quickly changed into a specially designed diving suit made of metal, which could withstand the pressure and allow him to dive to a depth of up to three or four hundred meters. In contrast, a typical rubber diving suit could only handle depths up to 100 meters.

In the distance, around three to four hundred meters from Liu Yong\'s yacht, there was a salvage ship belonging to the Dianshi Company. They had been drawn to the area by the $20 million bounty and were eager to claim it.

Xu Shufei scanned the area with a telescope from the deck and spotted at least seven or eight other ships. However, he did not seem bothered by the competition and instead wore an expression of contempt.

One of his subordinates tried to flatter him by saying, "Boss, that $20 million bounty is as good as ours."

Xu Shufei nodded in agreement and looked at the yacht through his binoculars.

"Looks like someone on that yacht is getting ready to dive. They\'re wearing diving equipment,"

Xu Shufei scoffed at the idea of someone diving to such a depth without experience.

"That\'s simply asking for death. Even experienced divers wouldn\'t dare attempt it."

"We\'ll send our own divers down once we find the necklace, but we won\'t be so reckless," he added.

Liu Yong, on the other hand, paid no attention to those around him. He was fully equipped with an anti-pressure diving suit and an oxygen cylinder and felt confident in his abilities.

Once fully suited up, Liu Yong dove into the water without turning on the oxygen. While it may take others a long time to reach such depths, gradually increasing the pressure, Liu Yong didn\'t have to worry about such difficulties. He went straight down to the ocean floor.
