Two transport vehicles were immediately in place, the compartments fitted with soft cushions and custom support frames.
One vehicle was loaded with the ornaments, while the other carried the matching high-quality explosion-proof glass covers.
The workers carefully placed the wrapped Phoenix Ornament onto the vehicles, securing it with specially made thin ropes for extra protection to prevent it from shaking during transport.
After loading was completed, the female boss personally checked everything again, ensuring that every detail was flawless.
This order had been top priority for several years!
Just as the Phoenix Ornament was en route to the Chihai Hotel, Tang Xiaowan and her group’s yacht had arrived at the predetermined diving area.
Since it was already autumn, all of their diving gear was designed to provide some warmth.
Zhao Renjie had arranged this diving trip very thoroughly, including two professional coaches to accompany them, as well as a GP for comprehensive healthcare support.
Before entering the water, the coaches reintroduced them to the diving equipment, the underwater hand signals for communication, and self-rescue methods in case of emergencies.
Although Tang Xiaowan was listening carefully, Leng Lingxiao still wasn’t at ease and had her practice twice more.
"Is there anything you still don’t understand? There’s plenty of time, don’t worry," Leng Lingxiao said gently, patting Tang Xiaowan’s head, still not reassured.
"No, I remember everything!"
Seeing Tang Xiaowan’s resolute gaze, Leng Lingxiao finally waved his hand, signaling it was okay, and one by one, they all descended into the azure sea.
Upon entering the water, Tang Xiaowan immediately experienced a completely different visual sensation.
Warm sunlight penetrated the water’s surface, forming beautiful shafts of light on everyone, as if they were in a dreamlike underwater world.
Tang Xiaowan looked around curiously, her eyes bright. She was drawn to the coral reefs and the colorful schools of fish, always reaching out to touch the little fish swimming by.
Leng Lingxiao smiled and gently took Tang Xiaowan’s hand, drifting together on an underwater stroll.
They communicated using hand signals with complete understanding of each other.
In the water, Leng Lingxiao demonstrated his excellent swimming ability, with movements that were smooth and proficient, each filled with strength. Tang Xiaowan imitated the fish, her body twirling gracefully in the water, elegant and lovely.
The instructor following them even felt his own teaching on the yacht had been presumptuous; they didn’t seem to need his guidance at all.
This couple truly had hidden talents!
But who would mind when they were so well compensated? Even if it meant playing porter, fetching seafood along the way, it was still a delightful task.
At that moment, the large abalone in his net were the best testament to this.
Two large lobsters had already been brought up.
Meanwhile, not far from them, Shen Yiming focused more on underwater photography, capturing every enchanting moment with his camera, making the trip truly worthwhile.
He thought his wife would be delighted; even if she wasn’t able to come down, watching the video would be good enough.
Time passed quietly underwater.
They seemed to forget all their worries, fully immersed in this magical underwater world.
To ensure the safety of Leng Lingxiao and Tang Xiaowan, Zhao Renjie had also arranged a team of highly skilled bodyguards to follow them silently.
He believed that danger lurked everywhere and that it was hard to guarantee that Bai Long wouldn’t make another move against Leng Lingxiao.
As a housekeeper, he was constantly worried. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NovelHub(.)net
These bodyguards were all meticulously selected by Zhao Renjie and were experts in water activities, with abundant experience in maritime rescue and emergency procedures.
Throughout Leng Lingxiao and Tang Xiaowan’s dive, the security team was always on high alert, closely watching their every move. To avoid disturbing their fun, they regularly dispersed around them, always ready to respond.
It wasn’t until three o’clock in the afternoon that Tang Xiaowan and the group slowly surfaced, their faces filled with joy and excitement.
At the same time, the boarding ladder extended above the water, with Tang Xiaowan climbing up first, followed by Leng Lingxiao, then Shen Yiming and the coaches.
The wet diving suits quickly dried in the sea breeze, bringing a chill, as Zhao Renjie and Cheng Shi promptly offered them towels and bottled water that had been prepared in advance.
"Wow, it’s so refreshing!" Tang Xiaowan shivered with excitement.
She thought the diving experience was fantastic!
"Don’t catch a cold now; go inside and drink some hot soup, warm up," Leng Lingxiao’s voice had just fallen when suddenly there was a clanking sound, as if utensils had dropped on the wooden floor.
Then came a woman’s scream.
Shen Yiming dropped the mineral water and sprinted towards the cabin’s salon, his face ashen white, even stammering in his speech.
After all, his wife Li Ruonan was pregnant.
At the same time, Tang Xiaowan quickly followed.
And Leng Lingxiao looked at the accompanying doctor with a cold expression tinged with concern.
