Chapter 481 Moral Decline (Fourth Update)

Zhao Tiezhu swam to the side of the wooden boat in just a few seconds. The wooden boat didn't even have time to leave, Zhao Tiezhu grabbed the boat and climbed up.

"What are you doing? This is a private boat!" The man on the boat shouted. As he shouted, several boats around came over. They were all small wooden boats with only one propeller.

"Why didn't you save people just now!!" Zhao Tiezhu asked with a dark face.

"Do you know what we do?" The boat owner looked at Zhao Tiezhu with contempt.

"Does what you do have anything to do with whether you save people or not?" Zhao Tiezhu asked coldly.

"Of course it has something to do with it. We are a professional salvage team of the reservoir. We make a living by saving people. We save 2,000 and salvage 10,000. We are a serious business. Why should we save you for nothing?" The boat owner looked as if it was a matter of course.

Zhao Tiezhu was stunned. It was the first time he heard of such a thing as a professional salvage team. It stands to reason that saving people is a matter of course. In this day and age, some people actually make money by saving people? No money, no saving? How morally corrupt is this!

"Let me tell you, we also have costs. This boat costs money, right? The rent of this place costs money, right? If you like to come here to travel by yourself, you must be prepared for drowning. Our fee of 2,000 per person is not expensive. As far as I know, there is another one in another province that charges 5,000~" The boat owner said with a little pride, "But we only charge less than half of theirs."

Zhao Tiezhu's face became darker and darker, "Then you can ignore other people drowning?"

"Haha, this is none of our business. This is the responsibility of the King of Hell. We are only responsible for saving people. In the past few years, we have saved a lot of people. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. We have enough for dozens of levels, and the fee is only 2 per person. 000, worth it!" The boat owner's face became more and more proud, "Young man, do you know that you killed that person today?"

"What! I killed him?"

"Of course, if you didn't come to rescue people, they would definitely pay me to rescue them. If I rescued them, I would have a boat and could naturally rescue them all, so you indirectly killed them. Don't you know that people can't be rescued randomly these days?"

Zhao Tiezhu calmed down in an instant. Just now, he wanted to punch the man in front of him who only wanted money but not lives, but when he heard what the boat owner said, he felt that there was some truth in it, but then Zhao Tiezhu came to his senses. Saving people requires money, which is unacceptable anywhere! Throughout the 5,000-year history of China, there has never been such a horrifying anecdote!

Zhao Tiezhu clenched his fists, looked at the boats slowly approaching, and then looked at Hongyun and Gege far away on the shore, and forced down his anger. Now was not the time to take action. He should wait until Gege and Hongyun were sent back before teaching these so-called boat bosses a lesson.

"Today, you not only cut off our financial resources, but also killed a person. Your crime is huge~" The boat owner looked at Zhao Tiezhu with amusement, "Don't think you are a good swimmer. There are more people who have drowned."

"Are you threatening me?" Zhao Tiezhu asked calmly.

"Haha, think whatever you want. This is my boat, you are not welcome, go away."

Zhao Tiezhu took a lot of effort to suppress the evil fire in his heart, looked at the boat owner coldly, remembered his appearance in his heart, and then turned around and jumped into the water.

"Humph, you are still doing what is right? Idiot." The boat owner snorted coldly and drove away.

"Tiezhu, what's wrong?" Hongyun had already walked to Gege's side and asked with concern.

"Nothing." Zhao Tiezhu shook his head and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."

"Okay." Seeing that Zhao Tiezhu's face was not very good, Hongyun and Gege stopped asking questions. After packing up their things, they returned to the car.

Zhao Tiezhu sent the two back home without saying a word. Hongyun asked Gege to go upstairs first, and then asked Zhao Tiezhu, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"A little bit." Zhao Tiezhu nodded.

"Alas, this is the society now. Everything has to be linked to money. You should be more open-minded." Hongyun didn't know how to comfort Zhao Tiezhu.

"I know, you go upstairs and go to bed early." Zhao Tiezhu said with a smile, and drove directly to the Tieshou Gang headquarters.

"Tieshou, help me check what's going on with the salvage team at the Red Star Reservoir." Zhao Tiezhu ordered Tieshou who was standing beside him.

"Red Star Reservoir? Okay, I'll go ask." Tie Shou said, picked up his phone and walked out of the office.

Not long after, he came back.

"I found out that the salvage team of Red Star Reservoir was organized by the villagers of a nearby place called Good People Village. They usually raise fish in the reservoir. If someone drowns, they will help rescue, but they are paid." Tie Shou said.

"Good People Village? Haha, it really discredits the word good people~!" Zhao Tiezhu sneered.

"Brother Tiezhu, I also got a piece of news. This group of people has been doing this for a long time, and... these people's hearts are much darker than you think." Tie Shou whispered.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"They monopolized the salvage and rescue work of the entire reservoir. There were so many good people in the past who bought a speedboat by themselves and then rescued people voluntarily, but they were later driven away by that group of people, and they also strictly ordered that without their permission, it is forbidden to rescue people on the reservoir! !"

"Fuck, so wicked?" Zhao Tiezhu was surprised.

"This is not the worst. What's worse is that sometimes they will deliberately bargain with people and delay time, waiting for the drowning person to die before salvaging. Salvaging a dead person costs 10,000 yuan, which is much more profitable than saving a living person."

"I didn't expect that there are such scums in society now!" Zhao Tiezhu sighed and shook his head.

"That's not all. I heard from their insiders that this group of people sometimes put some broken fishing nets in the reservoir to make business better, so that sometimes they can catch people and make a fortune at that time."

"Isn't this murder?" Zhao Tiezhu asked in surprise.

"Yeah, isn't it murder? But there is no evidence!! It's normal to have fishing nets in the reservoir. You can't just arrest everyone with fishing nets!! These guys are so cunning!"

"Then it seems that I have to go there myself tonight." Zhao Tiezhu stood up slowly, and the man who rescued someone with him in the afternoon but was caught in a fishing net and died appeared in his mind. Zhao Tiezhu's murderous intent flashed.

"Brother Tiezhu, what do you want???"

"Haha, although I'm not a good person, compared to these troubles, we are all three-good students. I'll go and play with them tonight. Haha."

Tieshou watched Zhao Tiezhu walk out of the Tieshou Gang headquarters with murderous aura all over his body, and couldn't help but express regret for that group of people.
