Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After a short while, the door between the cabin and the first-class cabin opened. Black Rose walked in. Yang Lihua and Mo Er observed every member and made sure that they had all lost consciousness. Yang Lihua said, “They did not take precautions. They should all be unconscious.”
Black Rose nodded her head.
A few people retreated.
Monica slightly opened her eyes. She covered her mouth and nose and sneezed once. The pungent smell was already gone. Monica pushed Maxi, but she did not have any reaction. The others also did not have any reaction.
Her physique was special.
Monica took a deep breath. She also could not do anything at this moment while they were high up in the air. She closed her eyes again and pretended that she had lost consciousness.
Sha Sha Island.
Mu Yuan and Xie Jinghuan had already checked all the islands within 200 nautical miles. They had found a few suspicious places.
Mu Yuan brought two people to explore.
Xie Jinghuan said, “There were pirates robbing a smuggling ship yesterday. They were on this private route. Luckily, the lives of the people who fell into the water were not in danger. They were sent to a safe location by the fishermen from a nearby island. All the rescue work had ended.”
Ye Ling nodded his head. He felt impetuous in his heart.
The longer the delay, the smaller the chances of being rescued.
He hoped that Shen Qianshu could hang on. He also felt that if she could hang on, it would certainly be a miracle. He dared not count on a miracle and could only believe in himself.
Zhong Ran brought two people to one of the remaining suspicious places to look around.
Ye Ling said, “Hold on. Did you just say that the fishermen sent them to a safe place?”
“Right.”
“Take out the map and give it to me.”
Xie Jinghuan took out the map of the sea and marked the islands on the route. Xie Jinghuan said, “This route is a smuggling channel. The boundaries of the sea are very unclear. If merchant ships don’t have a naval escort, they’ll hardly use this route.”
He moved the mouse. There was a map with several sea routes.
“This is the map of the three routes. One of the routes is a smuggling route. The others are routes for merchants.”
Ye Ling looked at that island. “Who does this island belong to?”
“Let me check.” Xie Jinghuan checked the data. “It belongs to a businessman in France. It’s a private island. He is developing a resort. The island is under construction.”
Ye Ling sat down and looked at the island on the map. “There are not many buildings. There are two buildings which are discarded. Hence, they are rented to the fishermen. There are not too many people usually. There are plane runways and also cruise ships on the island.”
“Don’t you think that it’s a little strange?”
“Strange in what way?”
“The construction took place for a few years continuously. Who would choose such a place to develop a resort? There are pirates roaming around frequently nearby. It is extremely dangerous and is not a good place for developing a tourist area. Since it has already been abandoned and rented to the fishermen, why are they able to rescue the people and send them to the nearby island so quickly? They are on the island all year round, and the pirates have never patronized before. Is it because this island does not have much wealth, or… the pirates avoided this island?”
Ye Ling said in a low voice, “Check the data for these few years. How many cases of piracy have taken place here? Have the pirates landed on the island before?”
Xie Jinghuan nodded his head. All the pirate attacks had been recorded by the officials. Even if it was a smuggling ship that encountered pirates, it would be reported to the government to request to pursue the pirates. Xie Jinghuan obtained the data very quickly. “There was a total of five times during these three years. The casualties were not considered serious. Basically, it was the fishermen from this island who helped to rescue the victims. The pirates left after robbing things.”
