Qi Mingyu also stood up.
Captain Ma looked at the closed medical room door, then turned to Qi Mingyu, his face full of doubt: "Xiao Qi, where have you been these past three days? I sent several search and rescue boats and turned that area upside down, but I couldn't find any trace of you."
Qi Mingyu didn't need to hide anything, so he told Captain Ma everything about Wang Qian, following the story he had agreed on with Zhou Shuwan.
Upon hearing this, Captain Ma's pupils contracted sharply, clearly incredulous: "How could it be him? Wang Qian is the most outstanding young officer in the fleet, having performed excellently on numerous important missions. Why would he do this?"
Qi Mingyu slowly shook his head: "I don't know either, but the reason he would have someone target Wanwan must be because of her keen sense of direction."
The so-called new island that Wang Qian mentioned is nothing but a conspiracy.
He worried that Wanwan would discover his scheme, so he acted preemptively, intending to silence her.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "That day, a patrol suddenly attacked us, so Wanwan and I were completely unprepared."
Fortunately, in the chaos, some planks and floating debris from the corridor fell into the sea. So, after we were overwhelmed and thrown into the sea, we've managed to hold on to those floating objects until now.
Captain Ma's face turned ashen upon hearing this, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white: "How dare he! He's utterly lawless!"
As a veteran captain of the fleet, he had always valued Wang Qian and even intended to cultivate him, but he never expected that the other party would harbor evil intentions and commit such a betrayal.
"No, we have to catch up with the main force immediately! We must tell Captain Chen about this; we absolutely cannot let Wang Qian's plot succeed!"
“That’s exactly what I mean.” Qi Mingyu nodded in agreement: “Wang Qian has already taken control of part of the command of the mothership, and the fleet is now heading towards the dangerous route he has planned. We must stop them as soon as possible.”
Captain Ma said no more and immediately turned to his adjutant, instructing, "Notify all crew members to return to port immediately and catch up with the mother ship at full speed!"
"Yes, sir!" the adjutant replied immediately and ran off to relay the order.
Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai, having heard the whole story, were both shocked and furious: "How could it be him? We have no grudge against him, why would he try to kill Wanwan!"
Zhou Jianghai was also shocked, then frowned and said in a deep voice: "So, there is no such thing as a safe island at all?"
"We've come all this way, adrift at sea for so long, with so many ships and men killed or wounded. Has it all been for nothing?"
His tone carried a hint of disappointment and anger.
The survivors in the fleet all longed to find a safe haven.
Unexpectedly, the target they had been pursuing turned out to be a scam.
Seeing the disappointment on their faces, Qi Mingyu felt a little heavy-hearted, but could only comfort them, saying, "Mom and Dad, this is just our guess. Nobody knows the specifics. The most important thing now is for Shu Wan to recover properly. Once we catch up with the mothership, we'll work with Captain Chen to figure out a solution."
Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai exchanged a glance and slowly nodded.
At this point, anger and disappointment are useless; we can only focus on doing what's in front of us.
Time passed slowly, and finally the door to the infirmary opened.
Mu Mu came out, her face showing a hint of fatigue, but her eyes looked much more relaxed.
"Dad, Mom, brother-in-law, my sister's wound has been treated." He said, "Brother-in-law did a very good job with the emergency treatment. The wound is not infected, and the stitches went very smoothly. Now she just needs to rest well."
"That's great!" Zhong Tiyun immediately stood up and asked eagerly, "Is Wanwan awake? Can we go in and see her?"
"She's awake. She woke up once right after the stitches were done, but she's asleep again now." Mu Mu stepped aside to make way for her. "You can go in now, but be quiet and don't wake her up."
