Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two more days had passed. This morning, as the first rays of sunlight scattered across the deck, a large, armed transport helicopter landed on the Ocean Harmony.

As the rotors spun to a stop, the cabin door was pulled open. A stunning woman in sportswear, her face etched with exhaustion, quickly stepped out.

The moment she saw the newcomer, Fang Jinjin, who had been waiting, burst into tears and ran toward the beautiful woman.

"SOB SOB SOB... Sister-in-law, my brother... SOB SOB SOB..."

The newcomer was none other than Bai Menghan, who had just arrived.

At first, to avoid worrying their families back home, Fang Jinjin, Qi Xiaotian, and the others had not told them about Fang Chenyi’s disappearance.

That included Bai Menghan.

But after a few phone calls, Bai Menghan sensed that something was wrong.

After some questioning, Fang Jinjin finally broke down and told her the news: Fang Chenyi’s plane had exploded, and after they had all parachuted out, he had gone missing.

When she heard the news, Bai Menghan’s mind went blank. Plane crash. Lost contact. She knew exactly what those words meant.

They meant one thing: death!

But she couldn’t believe it—or rather, she refused to believe that Fang Chenyi was gone.

Without a second thought, she arranged her affairs, then put on a smile and told Mrs. Fang, Father Fang, and her own mother that Fang Chenyi had bought a cruise ship and wanted her to fly over to join him for a trip out at sea.

Their parents were a little skeptical, but after Bai Menghan showed them a photo on her phone of Fang Jinjin playing games on the deck of a ship, they just smiled resignedly and told her to be safe.

They all understood in their hearts. ’The young couple just wants to spend some time together.’

And so, forcing a smile while holding back her immense sorrow, she waved goodbye to their parents.

But neither of the parents saw that the moment Bai Menghan rolled up the car window, her eyes were already clouded with tears.

In the end, however, she forced them back. ’I have to be strong!’

Bai Menghan hadn’t come alone this time. She had brought two members of her family’s security team with her: Mu Tou and Shi Tou.

’She knew they would be useful in the search for Fang Chenyi.’

Throughout the journey, despite her heartache, she never missed a meal. Even when she had no appetite, she forced herself to eat.

The intelligent Bai Menghan knew she couldn’t be a burden to anyone. ’Without a healthy body, how can I find Chenyi?’

After landing in Dubai, she found that Demo Did had already arranged for a small cruise ship and a transport helicopter.

Without a private jet, the flight to Dubai had taken her over ten hours.

After disembarking from the plane and boarding the cruise ship, it took another two days to finally reach the Ocean Harmony.

As Fang Jinjin threw herself into her arms, Bai Menghan gently patted her back, murmuring comforting words, telling her not to worry now that she was here.

After calming Fang Jinjin down, Bai Menghan didn’t waste a moment. She went straight to the bridge. Hearing she was coming, Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou both hurried to meet her.

"Sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law."

When Bai Menghan entered the bridge, everyone inside, including Demo Did, greeted her as "Sister-in-law." But she could see from the way Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou kept their heads bowed that they were blaming themselves.

"You’ve all been working hard. Xiaotian, Yishou, you two need to get some rest as well. If your health collapses, how will you find your Brother Fang? What’s the current situation?"

’She knew this wasn’t anyone’s fault. In fact, she was grateful to them for their relentless search.’

Her words made Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou, two men as tough as steel, unable to stop their eyes from reddening.

Only they knew how grueling the past few days had been, yet they hadn’t uttered a single complaint.

But now, hearing Bai Menghan’s words, especially her concern for them, only made them feel even more ashamed.

"Sister-in-law, we’ve searched up to three thousand nautical miles... Today, we plan to extend the search perimeter to thirty-one hundred nautical miles."

Bai Menghan nodded.

"Alright. Do you have a map of the nearby waters? Get it for me. First, let’s see if there are any islands between the three-thousand and four-thousand-nautical-mile marks. Send people to check those islands first. It’s been so many days since the accident. If there’s been a miracle, he won’t be floating in the open ocean."

As soon as she said this, Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou slapped their foreheads in realization. Of course! In their haste, they had focused on a grid search of the open water and completely overlooked the most likely possibility: islands.

’If Brother Fang is really alive, he definitely wouldn’t still be floating in the water!’

With a quick affirmation, Liu Yishou and Demo Did immediately arranged to acquire satellite maps of the sea area.

Although they were in international waters, Demo Did’s influence in the United Arab Emirates was significant, so obtaining military-grade satellite maps wouldn’t be a problem.

After seeing everyone spring into action, Bai Menghan suddenly said:

"Alright, arrange a boat for me. I’m joining the search."

The moment she finished speaking, Qi Xiaotian and the others immediately objected.

"Sister-in-law, you should wait for news here on the cruise ship."

"That’s right, Sister-in-law. The sea is unpredictable. Storms can appear out of nowhere in this region, and it’s dangerous on a speedboat. If something happened to you, how could we ever face Brother Fang?"

But Bai Menghan just waved her hand dismissively.

"It’s fine. That’s final. Time is of the essence, so let’s get moving. And prepare a life jacket and other gear for me."

With that, she paid them no further mind, turned, and walked out of the bridge.

Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou exchanged a look, then could only nod in helpless agreement.

"Yishou, as soon as you get the information on the islands, send it to me immediately. It’s really not safe out on the water. I’ll pilot the boat for Sister-in-law myself."

After speaking, Qi Xiaotian pointed at Mu Tou and Shi Tou. "You two are coming with me!"

Just like before, dozens of speedboats continued to periodically return to the cruise ship to refuel and resupply. Once they were done, they would speed off again to continue the search.

But today, one of the speedboats was different. Onboard was a new passenger: a beautiful woman dressed in camouflage fatigues, her hair tied back casually with a hair tie.

Mu Tou was piloting the speedboat, moving quickly along their designated route. In the back, Bai Menghan, Qi Xiaotian, Shi Tou, and the others all held high-powered binoculars, each scanning their assigned sector.

Suddenly, Mu Tou, who was at the helm, let out a cry of alarm!
