Chapter 481 Moral Degeneration
Chapter 481 Moral Decay
Zhao Tiezhu swam to the side of the wooden boat almost within a few seconds. Before the wooden boat could even drive away, Zhao Tiezhu grabbed the hull and then climbed up.
"What are you doing? This is a private boat!" the man on the boat shouted. When he shouted, several ships around him also drove over, all of which were small wooden boats with only one propeller on it.
"Why didn't you save someone just now?!" Zhao Tiezhu asked with a dark face.
"Do you know what we do?" The ship owner looked at Zhao Tiezhu with contempt.
"Is it possible that what you do has something to do with saving people or not?" Zhao Tiezhu asked coldly.
"Of course it's related. We are from the professional salvage team of the reservoir. We make a living by saving people. We save 2,000 and 10,000. We have a serious business. Why can we save you in vain?" The ship owner looked as if he was taken for granted.
Zhao Tiezhu was stunned. This was the first time he heard about something like a professional salvage team. It is natural to save people. Nowadays, people actually make money by saving people? If they don’t pay money, they won’t save them? How bad is this morality!
"I tell you, we have a cost, this boat costs money, right? The rent of this venue costs money? If you like to come here, you have to be prepared for drowning. Charging 2,000 per person is not expensive. As far as I know, there is another 5,000 in other provinces~" the owner said with a slight smugness, "We are only less than half of what others have."
Zhao Tiezhu's face became darker and darker, "Then can you ignore others and drown?"
"Haha, it's nothing to do with us. This is the King of Hell. We are only responsible for saving people. By the way, we have saved a lot of people over the years. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. We are all tens of levels, and each fee is only 2,000, which is worth it!" The owner of the ship's face became more and more proud, "Young man, do you know that you harmed that person today?"
"What! I was the one who hurt him?"
"Of course, if you didn't come to save people, they would definitely pay me to save them. If I save them, I will naturally be able to save them all, so you have indirectly killed people. Nowadays, don't you know the reason why people cannot save them indiscriminately?"
Zhao Tiezhu calmed down in an instant. He just wanted to kill the person in front of him who only had money but no one's life. However, when he heard what the ship owner said, he felt something was vague. But then Zhao Tiezhu came to his senses and asked for money to save people. This was unreasonable wherever he put it! Looking at the five thousand years of history of China, there has never been such a horrifying strange thing!
Zhao Tiezhu clenched his fists, looked at the boat slowly leaning over around him, and then looked at Hongyun and Princess far away on the shore, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart. Now is not the time to take action, so I should wait until the princess and Hongyun are sent back and teach these so-called boat bosses a lesson.
"You are the one who cut off our financial path today, but also killed someone. Your sin is so great~" The ship owner looked at Zhao Tiezhu with fun, "Don't think you are very good at water and drowning, more people."
"Are you threatening me?" Zhao Tiezhu asked calmly.
"Haha, whatever you think. This is my boat. You are not welcome, please leave."
Zhao Tiezhu took a lot of effort to suppress the evil fire in his heart, looked at the ship owner coldly, remembered his appearance in his heart, and then turned around and jumped into the water.
"Hmph, are you still brave enough? I'm stupid." The ship owner snorted coldly and drove away.
"Iron Pillar, what's wrong?" Hong Yun had already walked to the princess and asked with concern.
"Not much." Zhao Tiezhu shook his head and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."
"Okay." Hong Yun and Princess saw that Zhao Tiezhu's face was not very good, so they stopped asking. After packing up their things, they went back to the car.
Zhao Tiezhu sent the two home without saying a word. Hongyun asked the princess to go upstairs first, and then asked Zhao Tiezhu, "Don't feel good?"
"Somewhat." Zhao Tiezhu nodded.
"Oh, this is the case in today's society. Everything has to be linked to money. You can see more." Hongyun didn't know how to comfort Zhao Tiezhu.
"I understand, you go up and go to bed early." Zhao Tiezhu said with a smile, and drove directly to the Tie Hand Gang headquarters.
"Tieshou, help me check what's going on with the salvage team at Hongxing Reservoir." Zhao Tiezhu ordered Tieshou on the side.
"Hongxing Reservoir? Okay, I'll go and ask." Tiexue said, picked up his cell phone and walked out of the office.
Not long after, I came back.
"I found out that the salvage team of Hongxing Reservoir was organized by villagers from a nearby place called Haoren Village. Usually, they raise fish in the reservoir. If someone drowns, they will help them to rescue them, but it is paid." Tiexhou said.
"Good People Village? Haha, I really slander the word "Good People"~!" Zhao Tiezhu sneered.
"Brother Tiezhu, I also got a news that this group of people has been doing this for a long time, and...the hearts of these people are much darker than you think." Tie Shu whispered.
"Oh? How do you say it?"
"They monopolized the salvage and rescue work of the entire reservoir. In the past, there were some good people who bought a speedboat for self-service and then voluntarily saved people, but later they were driven away by the group of people. And they also ordered that they were prohibited from saving people in the reservoir without their permission!!"
"My grass is so dark?" Zhao Tiezhu said in surprise.
"This is not the darkest. What's even more dark is that sometimes they will deliberately bargain with people, delay time, and wait until the drowning person dies, and then go and salvage a dead person. But it costs 10,000 yuan, which is much better than saving a living person."
"I didn't expect that there was such a scum in society now!" Zhao Tiezhu sighed and shook his head.
"This is more than that. I heard from the people inside them that sometimes in order to make the business better, this group of people often put some broken fishing nets in the reservoir, so that they can sometimes live in the net and make another profit."
"Isn't this just killing people!" Zhao Tiezhu asked in surprise.
"Yes, isn't it just killing people? But there is no evidence!! There are fishing nets and other things in the reservoir, which is the most normal. You can't just catch all the people with fishing nets because of this!! This group of people are so terrifying!"
"It seems that my buddy has to go there in person tonight." Zhao Tiezhu slowly stood up, but the person who was rescued with him in the afternoon but died of being trapped by the fishing net appeared in his mind. Zhao Tiezhu's murderous intent flashed.
"Brother Tiezhu, do you want to?"
"Haha, although we are not a good person, compared to these disasters, we are all three good students. I will go and play with them at night. Haha."
