Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 237 Conspiracy and Deception, Life Hangs by a Thread

At the referee's signal, Ning Yao and the others dived into the water one by one.

Upon entering the shallow waters, Ning Yao experienced almost no discomfort. The underwater world was crystal clear, and many beautiful marine creatures swam past her eyes, including stationary corals, moving clownfish, and sea anemones.

As she continued to dive, the surrounding seawater darkened, making Ning Yao feel unwell, and her fear amplified infinitely.

She endured the discomfort and continued downwards, while looking around to see if any groupers were moving nearby.

The sea area was very large. Ning Yao was originally accompanied by a diving instructor and Cui Mengmeng, but they went their separate ways and never met again, leaving only her and the diving instructor.

Ning Yao saw many fish in the water, but catching fish is a skill, and it's not something you can do just by having hands.

She decided to hold back for now and wait for the fish to swim past before catching it with her net and putting it in her bamboo basket.

Miao Yuliu followed not far away, but her purpose was certainly not to catch fish.

Miao Yuliu didn't care at all whether she won or lost this match; what she wanted was to see Ning Yao die!

Back on shore, Miao Yuliu had bribed the equipment manager to learn Ning Yao's oxygen cylinder equipment number.

Miao Yuliu didn't bring a diving instructor with her, and her clothes were similar to Ning Yao's, making it difficult to distinguish them underwater.

Ning Yao squatted intently in a corner, quietly waiting for the grouper to swim over from not far away.

She didn't notice that the rubber tube at the opening of her oxygen cylinder was loose, and small bubbles were coming out.

The seawater pressure at a depth of 200 meters is greater than that in shallow water. The pipe opening, which was already damaged, could not withstand the pressure and quickly burst open in the water.

By the time Ning Yao realized something was wrong, it was too late. She couldn't breathe as seawater rushed into her mouth and nose, violently and rapidly.

The scene of her and her child drowning flashed through her mind, and a sense of helplessness overwhelmed her. Ning Yao's limbs were ice-cold, and she was powerless to resist.

She turned her head to ask for help, but saw that the diving instructor was in the same situation and was almost overwhelmed.

Miao Yuliu smiled triumphantly, her ankles swaying slightly as she watched the spectacle with amusement, thoroughly enjoying herself.

That's right, she tampered with Ning Yao's diving instructor's equipment, and the instructor knew about it, but she did it to evade responsibility.

If Ning Yao had a problem, it would be somewhat unreasonable for this diving instructor to be unharmed and not even attempt a rescue.

But if her equipment also malfunctions, people are selfish, and prioritizing their own lives is instinctive; no one can be blamed for that.

Unable to call for help underwater, Ning Yao used her hands and feet to frantically thrash about, trying to float to the surface.

But at that moment, Miao Yuliu floated over, stretched out her palm, and pressed down hard on Ning Yao's shoulder.

As Ning Yao was forcefully pushed down to the seabed, her eyes widened, a hint of understanding flashing in them, which was then replaced by ruthlessness and coldness.

The two struggled and entangled underwater for a long time. Ning Yao had no oxygen tank and had inhaled large mouthfuls of seawater, and her mind was beginning to become muddled.

She gripped Miao Yuliu's wrist tightly, pinching it so hard that Miao Yuliu turned pale with pain, and she couldn't shake it off.

Miao Yuliu cursed Ning Yao in her heart. Trying to drag her down with her? Dream on!

Ning Yao's consciousness gradually faded, and she could no longer muster any strength in her hands and feet. Her black hair rippled in the seawater, and her head tilted limply backward, revealing her beautiful, fair swan neck.

Miao Yuliu felt immense pleasure upon seeing that Ning Yao was no match for her.

She slowly stepped forward, reached out and grabbed that slender neck, then squeezed hard!

Suddenly, several men in black rushed out and surrounded Ning Yao, seemingly trying to pull her out of the water.

Upon seeing this, Miao Yuliu was so frightened that she let go of his hand and silently stepped aside, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.

Her father forbade her from killing Ning Yao, only allowing her to bring her back alive, as long as she had a breath left.

She disobeyed her father's orders. If these people told her father about her strangling Ning Yao, she would definitely be punished!

There was no one else on the seabed. Seeing that the man in black had already subdued the drowning Ning Yao, Miao Yuliu quickly moved away to avoid causing any trouble and implicating her.

Miao Yuliu left, and Ning Yao's slender and tall body floated up and down in the seawater. The men in black surrounding her dragged her to the other side of the shore, clearly to get away from the pier on the tourist side.

As the group was using their hands and feet, one of them was shot. His skin and flesh ripped open, and deep red blood gushed out, staining the sea.

The men in black grunted, but couldn't utter a single word. They looked around in terror, but found no trace of anyone.

The group exchanged hand signals, then one of the uninjured individuals grabbed Ning Yao's arm and continued dragging her forward.

Then several bursts of scorching hot bullets pierced through the seawater, leaving streaks of snow-white bullets that shot straight toward the black-clad man's thighs and arms.

The men in black were shot one after another, and each of them showed a look of horror.

At that moment, a lithe male figure appeared not far away. They couldn't see the man's face clearly, but they could tell that the shots fired underwater were from him.

To avoid leaving any traces, the men in black once again made hand signals, and in an organized and disciplined manner, they protected the wounded and dispersed.

Ning Yao lost her support, becoming so limp as to seem boneless, and swayed precariously as she continued to sink towards the seabed.

The man gritted his teeth and swam rapidly toward Ning Yao, his two powerful arms seemingly trying to cleave the water, swimming forward with reckless abandon, fast and fierce, his eyes bulging as if they were about to burst with blood, his pupils bulging out of their sockets...

ashore.

Xin Yujue surfaced with two grouper in her arms, a look of surprise on her face.

She did it! Miao Yuliu's group hadn't even shown up with the fish yet; she was the first, and they won!

Xin Yujue dragged her tired body ashore, not bothering to rest, and handed her bamboo basket to the referee first.

After checking, the referee confirmed that Xin Yujue had indeed received a grouper, and then smiled and gave Xin Yujue a betting contract representing her victory.

Immediately afterwards, Cui Mengmeng was half-carried and lifted out of the water by the diving instructor. Once out of the water, Cui Mengmeng took off her transparent goggles and oxygen mask and began to cough violently, her hands and feet trembling.

"Mengmeng, are you alright?" Xin Yujue asked softly, quite worried. She stepped forward, took Cui Mengmeng's hand, and asked gently.

"It's nothing, it's just a leg cramp. I probably didn't warm up properly. I'm so grateful to the coach for saving me..." Cui Mengmeng was still a little scared when she thought about it. Luckily, someone was with her. Otherwise, she didn't want to imagine what would have happened.

"We won! I caught the grouper! Miao Yuliu and the others have lost!" Xin Yujue told Cui Mengmeng about the victory, her voice filled with barely suppressed joy.

"Wow, Xiao Jue, you're amazing!" Cui Mengmeng chuckled, not paying much attention to her calf muscles.

The diving instructor was massaging her, and she felt much better.

Miao Yuliu's group gradually appeared, carrying nothing, with several oxygen cylinders detached from their hands, looking quite disheveled.

Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue stared intently at the water, as if waiting for Ning Yao to appear.

A long time has passed, and almost everyone has appeared. Even Miao Yuliu has returned to the shore, but Ning Yao is nowhere to be seen.

"Why hasn't Yao Yao come up yet? Instructor, could you please go down and call our friend back? Tell her not to look for her anymore." Xin Yujue said to her diving instructor, worried about Ning Yao's safety.

"Okay, I'll go right away." The diving instructor also had a bad feeling. Neither the guest nor the instructor had shown up, and it had been too long.

The coach returned to the seawater under the watchful eyes of the group, plunged forward with both hands, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
