Chapter 1112
"Sister!" Mu Mu exclaimed excitedly in a low voice, her eyes instantly lighting up.
He read the contents of the note word by word, and his nerves, which had been tense for three days, finally relaxed, and joy surged into his heart like a tide.
My sister and brother-in-law are both fine!
He carefully put the note away, then got up and ran towards his parents.
"Dad! Mom!" Mu Mu pushed open the door, her voice filled with excitement. Seeing that no one was inside, she said, "There's news about my sister! She and my brother-in-law are both alright!"
Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai were sitting on the edge of the bed, looking haggard as they gazed at the sea outside the window, their faces full of worry.
Upon hearing Mu Mu's voice, the two turned their heads simultaneously, a look of disbelief flashing in their eyes.
"Mu Mu, what did you say?" Zhong Tiyun asked in a trembling voice, quickly standing up: "Your sister... your sister is really alright?"
"Really!" Mu Mu nodded vigorously, took out the note from her pocket and handed it to them. "This was just sent by my sister using her spatial ability. She said she and her brother-in-law are thirty nautical miles to the southeast and asked me to take a lifeboat to pick them up."
Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai took the note and read it eagerly.
The familiar handwriting and the brief words finally put their minds at ease after three days of anxiety.
Zhong Tiyun covered her mouth, tears welling up instantly and sliding down her cheeks.
Zhou Jianghai's eyes also reddened. He raised his hand and gently patted his wife's shoulder, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
“That’s great…that’s great…” Zhong Tiyun said, choking back tears. “It’s good that they’re alright, it’s good that they’re alright.”
“Mumu, we’ll go with you!” Zhou Jianghai said immediately, his tone firm.
He missed his daughter and son-in-law so much that he wished he could see them immediately.
"Dad, no." Mu Mu quickly waved her hand: "Sister said this matter must be kept secret and no one else can know. If we go together, it will definitely arouse suspicion."
Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai exchanged a glance, their faces showing hesitation.
They wanted to see their daughter immediately, but were also worried about putting her in danger.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry." Mu Mu looked at them earnestly, "I will definitely bring my sister and brother-in-law back safely. You just wait here, get some rest, and wait for us to come back."
After Mu Mu's repeated persuasion, Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai finally nodded in agreement.
"Then you must be careful." Zhong Tiyun held Mu Mu's hand and repeatedly reminded her, "Be careful on the road and take good care of your sister and brother-in-law."
"I understand, Mom." Mu Mu nodded heavily, turned around and quickly left the cabin.
He set off again with a team of search and rescue personnel.
For the past few days, he has been searching in the sea, so no one has noticed anything unusual about his behavior.
Under his deliberate or unintentional guidance, the lifeboat headed in the direction Zhou Shuwan had indicated.
Two hours later, the lifeboat had traveled nearly thirty nautical miles.
Mu Mu stood at the bow of the boat, her eyes wide open as she looked around, her heart filled with anticipation.
Just then, a clear whistle came from afar, intermittent but exceptionally clear.
"Someone's there!" a crew member shouted immediately, pointing in the direction the whistle came from: "There's someone over there!"
"Quick, go check! That whistle must have been blown by someone!" Mu Mu shouted anxiously.
The lifeboat changed direction and headed in the direction from which the whistle had been sounded.
The whistles kept going off one after another without stopping.
"Look, there really is something floating over there!" a crew member shouted.
Mu Mu's heart tightened, and she looked in the direction the crew member was pointing.
It was blurry; he couldn't see clearly, only that something was floating on the sea.
Slowly, he finally saw a plank floating on the distant sea, with a person lying on it, and a familiar figure floating next to it, blowing a whistle continuously.
It's my brother-in-law, Qi Mingyu!
Mu Mu's heart jumped into his throat. Although he knew his sister was alright, he still couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw her lying silently on the wooden board.
"Hurry! Speed up!" Mu Mu shouted.
The crew was also excited. They turned the rudder hard, and the lifeboat sped toward the plank.
As they drew closer, Mu Mu finally saw the person on the wooden board.
It was Zhou Shuwan. Her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and her clothes were still damp from the seawater. Dark bloodstains could be vaguely seen on her chest.
"Sister!" Mu Mu was worried; the note hadn't mentioned that she was injured!
But looking at the scars on his chest, he was indeed injured.
He didn't care that the lifeboat had stopped; he jumped out and swam toward the wooden plank.
Qi Mingyu saw Mu Mu and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
He stopped blowing his whistle and carefully supported Zhou Shuwan, afraid that the seawater would get on her wound.
"Mu Mu, you're here." His voice carried a hint of weariness and surprise.
"Brother-in-law, how is my sister?" Mu Mu quickly swam to the edge of the plank and asked anxiously.
“She is seriously injured and very weak,” Qi Mingyu said. “Let’s carry her onto the lifeboat first.”
Two crew members immediately swam over, and together they carefully lifted Zhou Shuwan onto the lifeboat.
Qi Mingyu then climbed onto the lifeboat and let out a long sigh of relief.
Mu Mu sat down next to Zhou Shuwan, reached out and gently touched her cheek, her voice choked with emotion: "Sister, let's go home."
Zhou Shuwan seemed to sense her brother's call; her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not open her eyes.
Her breathing was still weak, and her face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
It wasn't that she was deliberately acting weak; it was because after the submarine surfaced, Qi Mingyu carried her and placed her on a wooden plank in the sea, and she had to cooperate.
This had already exhausted all her strength.
"Don't worry, it's not a fatal wound." Qi Mingyu patted Mu Mu's shoulder. "Let's go back first, and then we'll treat her wound properly!"
Mu Mu nodded, her eyes blazing with fury.
As he ordered the crew to return to port, he asked Qi Mingyu, "Brother-in-law, what exactly happened? Who attacked you?"
This is something that their whole family can't understand.
My sister's talent for sensing direction is exactly what the fleet needs right now.
Which team would target the older sister?
Qi Mingyu didn't hide anything and directly told Wang Qian what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Mu Mu and the others on the ship turned pale: "Could it be... could the new island be a conspiracy?"
"Yes! Wang Qian was worried that your sister would ruin things, so he wanted to get rid of this threat in advance!"
"But why..."
Everyone was shocked and confused.
Wang Qian is the most outstanding young soldier selected from the fleet!
He participated in many important missions, so why did he betray us?
Where is he going to take all the survivors of the fleet?
"Oh no, brother-in-law, we have to notify the fleet immediately!" Mu Mu said urgently.
