Our Professional Strength ++

Deep beneath the sea's surface, where the darkness swallowed the light, Hu Shijun spoke confidently. To some, diving to depths of hundreds of meters was intimidating, but it was a mere trifle for Overlord. The remarkable vessel could descend to unfathomable depths, surpassing even 2,000 meters. Sensing Tian Fengyun's disappointment, Hu Shijun reassured her with conviction.

  " Fret not, my dear. A few hundred meters hold no sway over us, "  he assured her, his voice resonating with unwavering assurance.

The news of the daunting sea depth had initially disheartened Tian Fengyun. However, as Hu Shijun's words permeated her thoughts, a glimmer of hope replaced her disappointment. Her wide, beautiful eyes gazed at him, hinting of disbelief giving way to newfound trust.

The office door swung open just then, and Liu Yong confidently strode in. His voice exuded an air of certainty as he echoed President Hu's sentiments.

  " President Hu is absolutely right. A depth of a few hundred meters poses no challenge for us, "  Liu Yong asserted, his tone resonating with self-assurance.

Perplexed, Tian Fengyun turned her gaze towards Liu Yong, her brows furrowing with curiosity. Sensing the need for an introduction, Hu Shijun promptly stepped in.

  " Allow me to introduce our boss, Mr Liu Yong, "  Hu Shijun said, gesturing towards Liu Yong with pride.

As the head of Global Ocean Services, Liu Yong held a position of authority within the company's hierarchy. His arrival signalled the involvement of the top executive, a fact that did not go unnoticed.

Tian Fengyun approached Liu Yong, extending her hand for a handshake. Hope and trust were evident as she spoke in her gesture, placing her faith in his capabilities.

  " Mr. Liu, since you exude such confidence, I will entrust this matter to you, "  she declared, her voice laden with a sense of reliance.

Liu Yong readily accepted the responsibility, his words resonating with assurance.

  " Fear not, we shall prove ourselves worthy of your trust. Please provide us with the specific salvage location, and we shall take immediate action, "  he replied, determination etched in his voice.

Tian Fengyun proceeded to provide the necessary information regarding the sea area, briefly explaining the situation at hand.

  " According to our knowledge, there are 10 standard shotguns belonging to country M, and we possess the serial numbers for each gun. If these items aren't concealed properly, the authorities may suspect our involvement, "  she confided, her voice tinged with concern.

Though lacking substantial evidence, the police remained powerless in their pursuit of justice.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Liu Yong's confidence remained unwavering as he addressed the team.

  " Now that we have a clear understanding of the circumstances and the specific sea area, we are fully confident in our ability to recover the items, "  he affirmed with certainty.

Tian Fengyun visibly brightened at Liu Yong's words, expressing her gratitude and anticipation for positive results.

  " Mr. Liu, I eagerly await your good news. Please ensure the items are recovered by evening. We are prepared to offer a reward of 500,000 yuan, "  she conveyed, her gratitude apparent in her voice.

Liu Yong nodded, accepting the responsibility bestowed upon him.

  " Rest assured, I will deliver the items to your police station before evening, "  he promised, his voice brimming with determination.

With the matter settled, Tian Fengyun and a young male policeman left the office. She needed to return and report to her superior, concluding this chapter of their endeavours.

Meanwhile, upon receiving the crucial information, Liu Yong swiftly contacted Bawang and instructed it to proceed to the specified sea area for an intensive search.

Bawang, ever the resourceful and agile individual, was leisurely strolling in the sea depths. After finishing his meal, he rested at the tranquil bottom, far from the imminent salvage area. However, upon receiving his mission, it promptly concluded its respite and swam towards the designated sea area. It covered the distance with remarkable speed, propelling itself forward at fifty to sixty knots per hour.

In Huahai City's East Branch, a crucial meeting was underway in the conference room. In attendance were the chief leaders of the sub-bureau, several deputy directors, and a handful of chief and deputy captains.

The meeting had been ongoing for quite some time. Initially, the room had prohibited smoking, but now it was filled with smoke, a testament to the mounting pressure weighing on everyone present.

Two suspects had been apprehended, both hailing from country M. However, despite the arrests, no substantial evidence had been discovered. The ten standard shotguns remained submerged at a depth of several hundred meters.

The Leader of the Eastern District Bureau addressed the assembled individuals, seeking a viable solution.

  " Ladies and gentlemen, I sought the advice of relevant experts. The depth at that location ranges between 700 and 800 meters. Diving to such depths is unfeasible, and we require the assistance of professional salvage robots, "  the Leader explained, a sense of urgency underlining their words.

One of the attendees responded promptly, informing the gathering,  " I have already dispatched someone to Global Marine Services, a company known for its expertise in deep-sea salvage operations. " 

Almost immediately, another voice sounded, expressing doubt,  " I've heard about that company as well. It's been established for less than a month and has no experience in deep-sea salvage. I question its reliability. " 

With a touch of empathy, another individual interjected,  " Huahai is renowned for its professional deep-sea salvage operations, often collaborating with Dianshi Company. They recently acquired a state-of-the-art deep-sea salvage robot. I have already been in contact with them. " 

It was revealed that the Dianshi Company had imported cutting-edge deep-sea salvage robots.

The faces of several attendees lit up with excitement, and the Leader of the Eastern District Bureau wasted no time issuing orders.

  " Immediately notify Dianshi Company and dispatch them to the specified sea area for salvage operations, "  the Leader commanded, a sense of urgency underlying their words.

One of the deputy directors interjected, offering an alternative perspective.

  " However, I have already sent Xiaotian to Global Ocean Services. They should be discussing the salvage operation as we speak, "  the deputy director revealed, his voice tinged with concern.

Waving his hand dismissively, the prominent Leader intervened, firmly stating,  " Global Marine Services is a relatively new establishment. Let's avoid adding to the chaos. Instruct them not to get involved. " 

The deputy director was momentarily taken aback, unable to voice his concerns openly at the meeting. Resigned, he relented, silently acknowledging the established course of action.

  " Then let Dianshi Company proceed with the salvage mission, "  the Leader declared, a firm tone marking their decision.

The deputy director couldn't help but harbour doubts, pondering whether Dianshi Company could effectively carry out the salvage operations at depths of seven to eight hundred meters. He contemplated the possibility of Global Ocean Services collaborating with Dianshi for a more comprehensive approach.

With the conclusion of the meeting, Deputy Director Gao Dake retreated to his office. He had entrusted Tian Fengyun with overseeing the case, dispatching her to Universal for further coordination.

As Deputy Director Gao Dake settled into his chair, cigarette smoke permeating the air, Tian Fengyun entered his office with a joyous expression, ready to deliver her report.

  " Leader, I have successfully fulfilled the task as per your instructions. Global Ocean Services has agreed to undertake the salvage operation and has already commenced their efforts, "  she reported, her voice brimming with satisfaction.

Gao Dake let out a soft sigh, contemplating the situation. Tian Fengyun sensed an air of concern and questioned her superior.

  " Is something wrong, Leader? Have we encountered a problem? "  she inquired, her expression reflecting curiosity and worry.

Gao Dake briefly recounted the decision made during the meeting, prompting a visible change in Tian Fengyun's countenance. She insisted on sharing her negotiations with Universal Company to salvage the situation.

In response, Gao Dake raised a hand, signalling for her to halt her protests.

  " Forget it. Let's hope Dianshi Company can successfully retrieve the items. If we lack sufficient evidence, we can release the suspects after twenty-four hours, "  he declared, his voice tinged with resignation.

After a moment of contemplation, Deputy Director Gao Dake made a decision.

  " There's no need to halt Global Ocean Services' salvage efforts. Let both companies proceed with their operations. Perhaps healthy competition will yield better results, "  he proclaimed, a note of optimism in his words.

At a particular port in Huahai City, a modern and well-equipped salvage ship prepared to depart. With its engines powered to the maximum, it set sail toward the targeted sea area.

The journey ahead was considerable, estimated to take two to three hours before reaching the destination.

Standing at the vessel's bow were several individuals, one of whom stood out conspicuously. Adorned with a thick gold chain and sporting tattoos covering his muscular arms, Xu Shufei commanded an air of authority. As the Leader of Dianshi Company's salvage team, he confidently spearheaded the operation.

While the salvage cost amounted to a mere 500,000 yuan, which offered little profitability, Dianshi Company eagerly embraced the task. They recognized it as an opportunity to strengthen their ties with the police force, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship.
