Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Just Be a Coward

Is this girl risking her life?

When Qiao Rui saw him coming, she also sighed in relief and shouted loudly, "There’s another one in the water, catch it quickly!"

Pei Liyan couldn’t help laughing. Catching crocodiles? He didn’t think he had that skill.

He saw another one nearby, swimming towards some other swimmers.

Pei Liyan called out to Fang Mo, "Rescue the people first!"

Qiao Rui and Li Chongming tied up the mouth of one of the crocodiles and hung it directly on the hook of the speedboat.

The other two speedboats also arrived, rescuing the swimmers from the water.

The crocodiles were still in the water.

Qiao Rui said to Pei Liyan, "Get over here, I’ll get on your boat to catch the crocodile."

She could tell that Pei Liyan was afraid to catch it.

So she’d do it herself, and later, she’d have a good laugh at Pei Liyan.

The people on this speedboat were afraid when they saw Qiao Rui coming over, especially with a crocodile already hanging on the boat.

"President Qiao, what do we do if you leave?"

Earlier, Qiao Rui caught the crocodile with her bare hands; everyone was shocked and couldn’t believe their eyes.

President Qiao, how could a girl be so powerful, catching a large crocodile with her bare hands and immobilizing it by holding its lower jaw.

Everyone was frightened by the scene and deeply admired Qiao Rui.

Seeing them like this, Qiao Rui said, "Don’t worry, I won’t go far! It’s still dangerous if we don’t catch that one, so cooperate."

Qiao Rui, too impatient to wait for Pei Liyan to stabilize the speedboat, jumped over in one leap.

Pei Liyan saw her urgency, and she almost fell into the water.

This girl is really too reckless.

Gazing deeply at Qiao Rui, Pei Liyan grabbed her wrist.

Qiao Rui gave him a cheeky grin: "Now this is good, you can help. Prepare the rope."

She crouched on the edge of the speedboat and sternly commanded Fang Mo, "Move closer; I’ll catch the crocodile."

Fang Mo glanced at Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan slightly nodded.

This girl, always so daring, but judging by the way she caught the last one, she seemed skilled.

He had no other choice now but to follow Qiao Rui’s plan.

Holding the rope, Pei Liyan knelt with her at the edge of the speedboat, ready for the right moment.

The speedboat moved closer.

The crocodile glared with big eyes, coldly staring at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui stuck her hand into the water and quickly caught hold of its lower jaw.

The crocodile’s jaw was lifted, and it opened its mouth, trying to bite.

With her other hand, Qiao Rui pressed down on its head, both hands working in tandem, and shouted, "Pei Liyan, now!"

Pei Liyan was ready, quickly tying the rope, wrapping it several times around the crocodile’s mouth, and tightening it with a knot.

With this one also dealt with, Qiao Rui hung it on the speedboat’s hook and said, "Let’s take the speedboat to the other side of the river and regroup."

Pei Liyan gazed deeply into Qiao Rui’s eyes.

This girl has once again surprised him, always so astonishing and catching him off guard.

She caught two crocodiles with her bare hands, shocking everyone on the speedboat and most likely the entire project team.

Once ashore, everyone stood on the bank, grateful to Qiao Rui for their survival.

"President Qiao, thank you so much."

"Thank you, President Qiao, for saving our lives." The swimmers all expressed their gratitude to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui just smiled lightly, "It’s nothing, Gai Yin, contact someone and send the crocodiles to my uncle Qiao Junxian’s residence. He must take them personally."

"Yes!" Gai Yin immediately understood that this had something to do with Qiao Junxian.

Li Chongming also realized that such a move might have been made by the former President Qiao.

Soon, the crocodiles were loaded onto a truck, and Gai Yin personally led the delivery.

Qiao Rui and Pei Liyan stood by the river, admiring the scenery, while arranging a full-scale dredging of the reservoir to check for more crocodiles.

Pei Liyan’s heart was still racing at this point.

This girl, she’s more reckless than a daredevil, but she always manages to turn danger into safety.

"How confident were you just now?" Pei Liyan finally found a chance to ask her privately.

Qiao Rui said, "I wasn’t confident at all. I was just driven by circumstances, just had to do it."

Pei Liyan helplessly looked at Qiao Rui, meeting her composed face, those eyes always calm.

Always with a cool demeanor, yet somehow capturing all his attention.

Pei Liyan sighed deeply, pulling her into his arms, and whispered, "You, being so reckless, really worries people."

"Worry about what?" Qiao Rui looked up at him, "Why did you come running over? Just for this thing, are you that free?"

Pei Liyan was utterly speechless. "If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have witnessed such a thrilling scene."

"It’s not that thrilling." Qiao Rui said, "Just normal and ordinary."

"Have you ever dealt with crocodiles before?" Pei Liyan countered.

"Nope." Qiao Rui shook her head. "Just saw others do it before, hold the jaw tight, and it can’t move. I tried it, and it worked. Pity, I wanted you to try, but you didn’t catch it. Such a coward."

Pei Liyan felt very speechless at her jab.

"What if you slipped? Wouldn’t you need your arm?"

"Of course, I would!" Qiao Rui said, "Why wouldn’t I need my arm? I’m not sick."

"Anyway, it’s too dangerous," Pei Liyan said. "You’re so reckless, without considering the consequences. It makes me worry about you more and more."

"You’re becoming more and more cowardly," Qiao Rui said with a mischievous smile.

"Cowardly?" Pei Liyan felt her words were a bit off.

Qiao Rui nodded. "Cowardly!"

"What do you mean?" Pei Liyan still didn’t get it.

Qiao Rui laughed loudly, "Just scared!"

Pei Liyan: "...."

Qiao Rui patted his hand, "Let go of me, let’s take a look at this water project."

"How do you plan to wrap this up?" Pei Liyan asked, "Matters concerning water resources can’t be taken lightly."

"Of course," Qiao Rui nodded. "Water resources are limited. I know the ripple effect of this, so this project won’t make money."

Pei Liyan raised an eyebrow, "You plan to give it up?"

"Of course not. Once I’m done, I’ll hand it over to the local administration in Qingcheng, then work on another project."

"Do you mean to do this as a public service?" Pei Liyan asked.

"Yes," Qiao Rui nodded. "This project won’t make money, and it won’t pay off in the short term. But if I clean up the pollution here, it will benefit the local community, creating a valuable impact. I might even secure local support for another project."

Pei Liyan frowned slightly, looking at Qiao Rui with concern, and finally sighed, "You have far-reaching plans, but will the follow-up funds be enough?"

Qiao Rui smiled at him, "Don’t worry, I won’t ask you for more money."

"That’s not what I mean," Pei Liyan shook his head, "I worry that you’re investing too much of your effort into the Qiao Family."
