Chapter 155: Concealing the Truth
The diving instructor smiled and said, "Edan is a certified diving instructor. I have to call her sister!"
Only then did Xia Lili feel relieved.
She looked up and saw Yang Yidan, wearing a fluorescent green-rimmed mask and a camouflage diving suit, floating up in the distance and making gestures towards her.
"Hey, Itami is floating up."
Xia Lili looked at Yang Yidanbi's gesture curiously: "What is she talking about?"
"She asked how you were doing," the coach translated.
"Tell her I'm fine and I've recovered." Xia Lili felt warm in her heart.
"Beginners may fail to equalize ear pressure when going into the water, coupled with improper breathing methods." The diving instructor explained the reason to Xia Lili.
"You still need more practice to get used to the underwater environment, but today I want to take some deep-sea diving photos with Itami. We'll be working in pairs to ensure each other's safety."
The diving instructor said with regret: "The other diving instructors are all busy today, so there is no one to teach you the details of the adjustment."
Xia Lili's expression also showed regret when she heard this.
"Coach, does scuba diving require a longer underwater time?"
She could only watch helplessly on the shore.
The diving instructor nodded slightly and said, "Yes, scuba diving does not require surfacing for breathing. You can usually stay underwater for half an hour to an hour."
"Idan brought an underwater camera this time, so it might take a little longer to take pictures."
Perhaps feeling that leaving Xia Lili out in the cold wasn't a good idea, the diving coach said, "I heard you're interested in surfing. How about I ask the surfing coach to come over and teach you some surfing techniques?"
The diving instructor looked up and scanned the sea, giving a professional assessment: "Today's swell is about 0.8-1.2 meters high, with a relatively short duration, making it a Category 2 wave. While not suitable for advanced maneuvers, it's perfect for practicing basic techniques like takeoff and balance."
Xia Lili's eyes lit up and she became happy again: "Sure."
After a while, the surfing coach came with a surfboard. He was a young and handsome guy.
He walked barefoot on the beach, his soles already calloused by sea salt and sand, and each step carried the unique rhythm of people who live by the sea.
Xia Lili got on the surfboard under his guidance.
"Hold on tight, don't rush to stand up. A surfboard is not a yoga mat. It has a temper!"
The surfing instructor licked his lips habitually while speaking, and his tongue immediately tasted the salty smell in the air.
He was very familiar with this smell - whenever the southeast wind brought low pressure, the smell of the sea would always become stronger first.
He couldn't help but complain: "The weather at sea is really like a girl's face, it changes at any time."
Xia Lili, who was practicing as required, was stunned when she heard this and turned to look at the surfing coach.
The surfing instructor looked toward the horizon and noticed a leaden halo on the distant horizon, a sign that cumulonimbus clouds were gathering in the distance. "I thought the weather was going to be nice this morning."
He sighed: "The sun will set soon."
Xia Lili almost fell off the surfboard.
The surfing coach quickly helped her steady herself: "Hey, be careful, don't get distracted."
Xia Lili didn't care about anything else and grabbed his clothes: "Coach! You just said the sun is going to go out. Is it going to rain soon?"
“It doesn’t necessarily mean it will rain, but it will definitely become cloudy.”
The surfing instructor pointed to the cumulus clouds looming on the horizon and said, "Look at that cloud. It looks like scattered cotton wool now, right? If the southeast wind pushes for another half an hour, it will gather together and block out the sun."
After hearing this, Xia Lili's head was buzzing!
In her hallucination, she saw a gloomy sky, a speedboat and a fishing rod, and thought that Wei Shan would take action on the third day of sea fishing. However, when she heard the surfing coach describe the weather change in the near future, Xia Lili immediately thought of the weather scene when Wei Shan killed Yang Yidan. It was so similar!
She overlooked one point: the weather at sea is far less stable than that on land!
The surfing coach was still demonstrating his weather forecasting skills to Xia Lili. His palm touched the surfboard and said, "Hey, I'll teach you a trick of surfing. You also need to learn how to read the weather."
"The surface of the board has a denser layer of moisture than when I went out to sea this morning—this is evidence of the sudden increase in humidity."
"My grandfather taught me when I was little that this feeling often indicates that the world will change within two hours."
He bent down and grabbed a handful of sand, watching the angle it drifted as it slipped through his fingers. "The wind has changed direction, and the seagulls are flying towards the shore."
The surfing instructor raised his chin toward the sky, and sure enough, a few herring gulls flew by. "These guys can sense changes in air pressure with their wingtips."
The surfing coach was still showing off his skills, and the next second he saw Xia Lili running towards somewhere.
The surfing coach, who was left standing there, was confused: "Hey, where have you been? Why did you stand me up?"
Xia Lili picked up the mobile phone she had left outside and quickly checked the location of the tracker she had placed on the speedboat!
The speedboat is now far away from the dock!
Without even turning around, Xia Lili said to her coach, "I have something urgent to do, so I'm leaving now!"
"I'll come see you next time! I'll definitely buy your class!"
She looked around and ran towards a few tourists who were preparing to ride jet skis on the beach.
While running, Xia Lili remembered a detail. She always thought that Yang Yidan was diving. Is it possible that Yang Yidan is not underwater now but has run to find Wei Shan?
The more Xia Lili thought about it, the more frightened she became. She stopped a motorboat that was about to start, panting.
The boy on the motorboat was caught off guard and stopped. After seeing Xia Lili's face, he smiled obscenely: "Little beauty, do you want to take me out to sea?"
Xia Lili took out her ID and waved it in front of the man. "No need. Get off now. I want to requisition your motorboat!"
When the man saw the police badge, his smooth-talking tone immediately changed to serious, and he scrambled down from the motorboat: "Sir, please."
Xia Lili climbed onto the motorboat nimbly and headed towards the location marked on the tracker.
I just hope the clouds in the sky gather more slowly, so that she still has time to rush to the scene and stop it in time!
Xia Lili glanced at the dark clouds in the sky. At this time, the dark clouds were just clusters of clouds and had not yet formed into cumulus clouds.
That means it will still be some time before the hallucination scene of cumulus clouds covering the sea appears!
It hasn’t happened yet!
There’s still time!
Xia Lili turned the accelerator to the lowest position and sped away.
Soon, she saw a speedboat floating alone on the sea, it was the one in her hallucination!
On the speedboat, Yang Yidan lay weakly on the side of the boat, and Wei Shan pinched her neck with a ferocious look on her face!
Xia Lili's heart skipped a beat!
Her cell phone was hanging on her chest.
Xia Lili turned on the recording mode using voice control and rushed all the way, ready to catch the culprit in the act!
