Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Catching a Crocodile Barehanded

Qiao Rui and Gai Yin were checking the surrounding situation with a few people from the project team when Qiao Rui’s phone suddenly rang.

She picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was a call from Pei Liyan.

Qiao Rui furrowed her brows slightly and answered the call. "I’m busy right now, what’s up?"

"Qiao Rui, listen, there are crocodiles in the reservoir, released by Qiao Junxian. They could hurt people; you need to return to shore immediately." Pei Liyan’s voice was a bit anxious and worried.

Qiao Rui could hear the tension in his voice, and she frowned. "Is the information reliable?"

"Fang Mo found out." Pei Liyan said solemnly, "You first evacuate, let the professional team handle it."

"How many crocodiles?" Qiao Rui was unsure and wanted to confirm.

"At least one, I think," Pei Liyan said, "But they only mentioned one."

"One is not a threat, it’s frightening if there are many." Qiao Rui looked at the vast water surface, her gaze distant, wondering about something.

"Hurry and retreat," Pei Liyan urged. "Quickly."

"Okay." Qiao Rui glanced at the people behind her; over ten people from the project team had come along.

She said to Gai Yin and Li Chongming, "Gai Yin, Li Chongming, let’s first get people back to the shore."

"President Qiao, what’s wrong?" Gai Yin hadn’t heard the content of Pei Liyan’s call, only noticing the serious expression on the Young Master’s face, and was very worried, "What happened?"

"There are crocodiles in the water," Qiao Rui said softly to them, "First, get the people up."

"Yes!" Hearing about the crocodiles, Gai Yin also became anxious. "We’ll return immediately."

She told the boat driver, "Return to the shore."

The boat driver was unaware of the situation, pointing ahead, "Are we heading back to the shore or to the opposite side? It’s closer to the opposite side right now."

"Head to the opposite shore first." Gai Yin glanced back at Qiao Rui, who nodded.

Li Chongming was also startled, "President Qiao, let’s go to the opposite side, it’s closer."

"Okay, then hurry, head to the opposite shore first." Qiao Rui said in a deep voice.

"Wow, there are people swimming." Someone from the project team shouted, "There are several people."

Following their direction, Qiao Rui looked and, indeed, there were people swimming in the water.

Qiao Rui was also anxious now. "Wasn’t it said that swimming is prohibited, why are there still people swimming here?"

Li Chongming said, "President Qiao, the reservoir’s ban on swimming has always been in place, but many people are used to secretly coming here to swim, so there are drowning incidents every year."

"Get closer to call them up," Qiao Rui said, "Gai Yin, call for two more boats."

"Yes." Gai Yin immediately arranged for boats to come for rescue.

Qiao Rui urged the driver to move quickly toward the swimmers.

When the project team saw Qiao Rui trying to get people on the boat, they immediately said, "President Qiao, even if we call, they might not listen."

"There are crocodiles in the water," Qiao Rui said sternly, "Not getting out means feeding yourself to the crocodiles?"

"What, how can there be crocodiles in the water? That’s impossible."

"Yeah, there are no crocodiles in our waters."

"President Qiao, could there be a mistake?"

"No mistake," Qiao Rui said sternly, "It should be correct, let’s first get them up and then talk."

So they urgently shouted to those swimming.

At this time, several speedboats were rushing towards this side.

Qiao Rui shouted to the swimmers, "There are crocodiles, stop swimming in the water."

The water was churning so much that the swimmers couldn’t hear what they were shouting. When they saw the boats approaching, they even cursed, annoyed that the boats were disturbing their swimming.

The more Qiao Rui shouted, the more they swam in the opposite direction.

At this point, Qiao Rui could only shout, "There are crocodiles."

The people on the boat also shouted, "There are crocodiles in the water."

As the boats quickly approached, the swimmers finally realized, "What? Crocodiles in the water?"

"There are crocodiles!" someone shouted. "Ah, help!"

Sure enough, a large crocodile was approaching them in the water.

"Quick, pull them up!" Qiao Rui whispered.

Someone helped pull people onto the boat.

"Young Master, the boat’s load capacity can’t support so many people," Gai Yin said worriedly, "If everyone gets on, the boat might sink!"

"Pull them up first and then talk," Qiao Rui glanced into the distance where several boats were speeding towards them.

Qiao Rui said, "Don’t worry about it now, hurry up."

There was no choice; saving people was the priority.

As they pulled two people up, a crocodile over two meters long lurked in the water near them, waiting for an opportunity.

Suddenly, it swam towards another person.

"Damn it." Someone on the boat whispered, "It’s going to attack."

"Drive the boat over," Qiao Rui shouted.

"No, President Qiao," the driver was scared and didn’t dare to get closer.

Qiao Rui glanced into the water; there wasn’t just one crocodile, but two, swimming towards the swimmers.

"Gai Yin, you drive!" Qiao Rui shouted, "Get closer, catch the crocodile."

"Yes." Gai Yin didn’t have time to think and immediately went to replace the driver.

The driver, upon hearing they needed to catch a crocodile, panicked, "No, we need to dock, if you want to catch crocodiles, don’t drag us down."

"Yeah, yeah, President Qiao, let’s get to shore first!" someone started to stir things up.

Qiao Rui snorted coldly, sweeping her sharp gaze around, "Whoever makes a fuss, I’ll feed you to the crocodiles!"

"Ah, you’re threatening us!"

"Shut up," Qiao Rui said coldly, "Save people properly; otherwise, no one gets to shore."

Sensing Qiao Rui’s sharp gaze, everyone was startled.

Gai Yin had already started steering the boat over, and Qiao Rui leaned on the edge, reaching to grab the crocodile.

Everyone was frightened by her move and didn’t even dare to breathe.

"President Qiao, be careful," Gai Yin was also worried.

"Focus on steering," Qiao Rui said sternly and glanced at Li Chongming. "Li Chongming, prepare the rope, I’ll grab the crocodile’s jaw, and when I close its mouth, tie it quickly. Once we tie its mouth, it can’t hurt anyone."

Li Chongming’s back was drenched with cold sweat, nodding continuously, "Yes, President Qiao, I will do my best."

"Good, no need to be nervous!" Qiao Rui smiled at him, "Trust me."

Li Chongming was worried but dared not be careless, picking up the rope from the boat, ready to assist.

He was amazed; a girl like Qiao Rui dared to grab with bare hands.

In a daze, he saw Qiao Rui suddenly reach out and hold the crocodile’s chin, clasping its softest part, using her other hand to press down on its head.

"Li Chongming, quickly!" Qiao Rui shouted. "Bring the rope over."

Li Chongming immediately helped, looping the rope around.

The crocodile’s jaw was clamped, unable to bite, and Qiao Rui held on tightly.

Li Chongming’s rope wrapped around, indeed binding the crocodile’s jaw.

At this moment, Pei Liyan’s boat arrived, just in time to see this scene of Qiao Rui holding a crocodile’s jaw with her bare hands.

His heart raced instantly.
