Chapter 320 I Will Bring Him Back No Matter What
Yun Zheng's fingers tightly grasped the edge of the map, and the paper wrinkled slightly under her fingertips.
"I want to go with you." Her voice was soft, but like an ice-hardened blade, it left no room for doubt.
Mo Shian raised his hand to signal the search and rescue team to leave first. When they were the only two left in the living room, he turned to face her.
The sound of rain outside the window is getting heavier, and the sound of rain hitting the glass is like some kind of bad countdown.
Yun Zheng was about to follow him out, but Mo Shian gently grabbed her wrist, "Zheng Zheng..."
She turned her head and looked at his big hand holding her, the look in her eyes suddenly turned cold, "Let go!"
Mo Shi'an released his hand, his voice gentle and steady, "Going over now will only drain your energy and you won't be able to accomplish anything."
"But I can't wait!" Her suddenly raised voice shattered the tense atmosphere in the living room. "Every minute we delay, he's in more danger!"
Mo Shi'an didn't answer. He was silent for a moment before continuing, "Do you know why the Mo family's search and rescue team has the highest success rate?"
Yun Zheng stared at him blankly without saying a word, but it was obvious that she was also curious.
"Because we never allow family members to interfere with professional judgment."
Mo Shian's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Yun Zheng's head, and she loosened her tightly clenched hands.
Because she couldn't deny what he said.
"Zheng Zheng, don't worry, I will find him back for you no matter what."
Mo Shi'an's voice was low and firm, with a slightly lighter ending that carried a soothing feeling, neither hurried nor slow.
Yun Zheng's fingertips hanging by her side trembled slightly, and there was still a hint of stubbornness in her eyes as she looked at Mo Shian.
"I will go with the search and rescue team and participate in the whole process. You wait for news at home." Mo Shian wanted to rub her head to comfort her, but he knew that Yun Zheng was resistant to him, so he didn't raise his hand in the end.
"Once they've determined the specific area, I'll have someone take you there, okay?"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly and compromised, "Then can I watch the real-time surveillance?"
"Okay, I'll have someone take you to the study later." Mo Shi'an agreed readily. As long as Yun Zheng didn't go to the scene and suffer, everything would be fine.
In front of Yun Zheng, he waved to the bodyguard not far away and ordered in a deep voice, "Take the young lady to my study later."
After making the arrangements, he turned and left.
"If there's any news, let me know immediately." Mo Shi'an had just walked to the door when he heard Yun Zheng's voice coming from behind him, "You...be careful."
Mo Shian's steps paused slightly, and with his back to her, the corners of his lips curled up in an almost imperceptible arc.
He turned around and looked at her, "Okay, you have a good rest."
After the door closed, Yun Zheng stood there, her fingertips unconsciously pinching into her palms.
She knew she shouldn't compromise so easily, but Mo Shi'an was right. If she followed him rashly, it would only slow down the search and rescue process.
But waiting is more painful than anything else.
The bodyguard came over respectfully and said, "Miss Yun, I will take you to the study."
Yun Zheng took a deep breath and followed him upstairs.
Outside the door, Mo Shi'an turned to the housekeeper following behind him and said, "Take good care of the young lady. All her requests will be met unconditionally. You don't need to report to me."
"Okay, young master." The butler responded respectfully.
Mo Shian took out his phone and called Old Man Mo again, saying only a few words, "Grandpa, Zheng Zheng is at home."
After hanging up the phone, he went to meet up with the search and rescue team.
In the study, a huge electronic screen has lit up, transmitting images of the search and rescue team in real time.
Mo Shian's figure appeared in the center of the screen. He was wearing a black windbreaker and was talking in a low voice with the search and rescue team leader.
In the rain, his profile was cold and sharp, completely different from the gentle and soothing look he had just shown in front of her.
Yun Zheng stared at the screen, her heart feeling as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.
The cell phone suddenly vibrated in the quiet study, and Yun Zheng almost rushed over to answer it.
"It's confirmed," Mo Shi'an's voice came over the sound of wind and rain, with the roar of helicopter propellers in the background. "It's on a small island in the waters of Country A."
Yun Zheng's breathing stagnated, "He..."
"But for now, we can't tell whether it crashed or made a successful forced landing," Mo Shi'an spoke quickly, but every word was clear and powerful. "I'll go over and confirm it now."
The scene on the screen switched to an aerial shot. On the vast sea, an isolated island was looming in the rain.
"I'm going too." Yun Zheng stood up suddenly, and the chair made a harsh sound on the floor.
"No." Mo Shi'an refused flatly, "The situation on the island is unclear, and the helicopter can only carry a limited number of people."
He paused, his voice softening, "I promise I'll tell you as soon as I have any news."
Raindrops slammed against the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study. Yun Zheng stood in front of the huge electronic screen, her fingertips unconsciously pinching into her palms.
The images on the screen kept switching, and Mo Shian's figure appeared and disappeared. He was directing the search and rescue team to head towards the isolated island.
"Miss Yun, please drink some water first. Here are some snacks." The housekeeper reminded softly and handed her a cup of hot milk tea.
Yun Zheng shook her head, staring at the screen without blinking.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated and two messages popped up almost simultaneously.
Lu Shiqian: [Sister-in-law, I just arrived at Country A's airport. How is the situation over there?]
Bo Jinnian: [We have arrived in Country A, and the search and rescue team has also arrived.]
Yun Zheng's fingers trembled slightly as she quickly replied: "Mo Shi'an has confirmed that the missing plane is on an isolated island in the waters of Country A. I'll send you the coordinates."
She relayed the exact location Mo Shian had just told her to the two of them, and added: [The Mo family's search and rescue team has already set off.]
Lu Shiqian's reply came quickly: [Got it. Ah Nian and I will go from different directions and attack from three directions.]
Yun Zheng put down her phone and returned her gaze to the screen.
Mo Shian's figure has boarded the helicopter. The camera zooms out, and the isolated island shrouded in heavy rain appears particularly small on the gray sea.
Fu Linghe is very likely there, but his life or death is unknown.
Time passed minute by minute, and every second cut her nerves like a knife.
The clock in the study made a dull ticking sound, and Yun Zheng suddenly stood up.
"I want to go over there." Her voice was soft, but with unquestionable determination.
The housekeeper was slightly stunned, then remembered Mo Shian’s instructions before he left - to meet all the requirements of the eldest lady!
He dropped his eyes calmly. "I'll arrange for a helicopter right away."
Yun Zheng looked at the butler with some surprise. She didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.
The butler picked up the intercom phone swiftly and gave a few brief instructions.
"The helicopter will be ready at the backyard helipad in fifteen minutes." The butler put down the phone. "Is there anything I can prepare for you?"
"No, thank you." Yun Zheng walked quickly towards the door, then suddenly stopped, "Don't tell Mo Shian."
The butler nodded slightly. "Of course, this is your decision. The master of the house said that your request must be met unconditionally."
Ten minutes later, Yun Zheng changed into a mobile outfit, a black windbreaker and waterproof boots, with her hair neatly tied into a ponytail.
She stood in the backyard of the Mo family mansion, the rain wet her cheeks, but she was unaware.
The helicopter rotor began to rotate, creating a strong airflow.
The butler came over holding a black umbrella. "Miss Yun, the pilot is the most senior in the Mo family. Don't worry."
Yun Zheng nodded and was about to board the plane when her phone vibrated again. It was a video call request from Mo Shian.
She hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
Mo Shian's rain-soaked face appeared on the screen, with the background of a shaking helicopter cabin. "Zheng Zheng, we're almost there. Over there..."
His voice suddenly stopped, and he had obviously seen the helicopter behind Yun Zheng through the camera. "Where are you going?"
"I'm coming over." Yun Zheng said briefly.
"No!" Mo Shi'an's voice suddenly rose. "The situation on the island is unclear, and the weather is getting worse. It's too dangerous!"
Yun Zheng's eyes grew sharp. "I'm not here to ask for your consent, Mr. Mo. He's my husband."
Mo Shi'an on the other side of the screen took a deep breath, seemingly trying hard to control his emotions. "Zheng Zheng, listen to me. As long as Fu Linghe is on the island, I can bring him back safely. You wait for news at home. I promise..."
"Your promise is useless to me. No matter what the result is, I want to see him in person." Yun Zheng interrupted him, her tone was unquestionable and firm.
The video call was suddenly interrupted and the signal was cut off by bad weather.
Yun Zheng turned around and boarded the helicopter without any hesitation.
The moment the cabin door closed, she saw the butler standing in the rain, looking at her with a complicated expression.
The helicopter took off, and the Mo family residence quickly shrank in sight.
Yun Zheng fastened her seat belt and looked out the window at the gray horizon in the distance.
The rain was getting heavier and the helicopter started to shake slightly.
"Miss Yun, we'll arrive at the target area in approximately forty minutes," the pilot told her through the headset. "But according to the latest weather report, the weather in that area is deteriorating, and thunderstorms are possible."
Yun Zheng nodded: "It's okay, keep going."
Her phone lit up again, this time with a message from Lu Shiqian: [Sister-in-law, we are approaching the east side of the island. We suspect there is aircraft wreckage and are confirming it.]
Yun Zheng's heart suddenly tightened, and her fingers typed rapidly: [Is this the plane that Fu Linghe took?]
Lu Shiqian's reply was delayed, but Bo Jinnian sent a message: "Nothing has been found on the western coastline. We are preparing to search deeper into the island. Where is Mo Shian's team?"
Yun Zheng was about to reply when the helicopter suddenly shook violently and she had to grab the armrest of the seat.
A flash of lightning flashed outside the window, illuminating the rolling dark clouds.
"Miss Yun, we may need to temporarily change our route to avoid this thunderstorm." The pilot's voice was calm, without a trace of panic. "It would be dangerous if we go straight through."
Yun Zheng said calmly, "How confident are you?"
"Sixty percent." The pilot responded quickly.
"Go straight through, don't waste time." Yun Zheng issued the order calmly.
The pilot hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Then please fasten your seat belts. It might be a bit bumpy."
The helicopter rushed into the rain, and Yun Zheng felt a strong sense of weightlessness.
The lights in the cabin flickered. Yun Zheng's nails dug deep into her palms. She stared at the rolling dark clouds outside the window, as if she wanted to see through the thick clouds.
Suddenly, a dazzling flash of lightning split the sky, illuminating the outline of the isolated island on the sea in the distance.
"Miss Yun, we're almost at our target area," the pilot's voice rang through the headset. "But visibility is too low. I need to lower my altitude and find a suitable landing spot."
"Okay, I understand." Yun Zheng nodded, her eyes fixed on the island that was getting closer and closer.
Raindrops slammed against the porthole, blurring her vision.
