Chapter 447: Chapter 443: Unexpected Rescue

At this moment, even Zhou Jun, who usually had plenty of spirit, became dispirited, sitting on the raft with his head down, not saying a word.

Just then, Ling Chen seemed to hear something, suddenly lifted his head, and looked up at the azure sky, searching for something.

Noticing his actions, Song Ge asked, "Ling, what’s up?"

Hush!

Ling Chen made a quieting gesture, stood up from the raft, and shaped his hands into a horizontal line to shield his eyes from the sun, scanning the sky.

Following his gaze, Song Ge and the others lifted their heads and saw a black dot appear in the sky as blue as the sea. As the dot approached, a seaplane came into view.

"It’s a plane!" Zhou Jun’s face lit up with joy, and he excitedly yelled, "Haha! We’re saved."

Before long, the seaplane seemed to notice them, descended gradually, and touched down on the surface of the sea.

As the raft approached the plane, someone pushed open the cabin door, and a round, chubby face poked out, looking at Ling Chen with a teasing smile, "Is drifting at sea fun?"

Seeing the person, Ling Chen was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "Fatty?"

He had never expected the person inside the plane would be Hu Fei.

"Surprised?" Hu Fei laughed and said, "Alright, stop gawking and get on board."

After getting on the plane, Ling Chen gave everyone a quick introduction and curiously asked, "Fatty, how did you know where we were?"

Hu Fei replied, "Once the reverse tracking program I gave you establishes a connection, I get a signal too, so I know where you are. I figured you were going to scrap with the God Organization, so I waited at home all night, called at least ten times to ask about your situation, but your satellite phone was unreachable. I got worried you’d been caught by the God Organization, so I chartered a plane over here. Luckily, my luck wasn’t too bad, and I stumbled upon the wreckage of that cargo ship. I figured with your skills, you wouldn’t have been blown to bits, so I looked around the area, and would you believe it—I actually found you."

Ling Chen was moved by these words and firmly patted Hu Fei’s shoulder in gratitude, saying, "You truly are a good brother; I wasn’t mistaken about you."

"Oh, cut it out, you’re trying to butter me up," Hu Fei said with an expression of disgust, brushing away Ling Chen’s hand, and grumbled, "You think I want to save you? You still owe me millions, who am I supposed to get my money back from if you die?"

Ling Chen knew his friend was saying one thing and meaning another, and replied with a laugh, "Alright, I’ll double repay you when we get back."

Then, Ling Chen changed the subject and asked, "Fatty, do you have a computer with you?"

"Yeah. What do you need it for?"

Ling Chen threw a USB drive into Hu Fei’s hand, "Help me check out the data inside."

Without a word, Hu Fei immediately took out his laptop, inserted the USB drive, and started carefully browsing the files.

"Zhou Jun, contact your grandfather and see how things are going on the ship."

"Okay." Zhou Jun nodded, took the satellite phone from Hu Fei, and dialed the number.

...

"Elder Zhou."

A staff member ran up to Zhou Qi, panting, and handed over a satellite phone, saying breathlessly, "It’s Zhou Jun’s call."

Without a word, Zhou Qi snatched the satellite phone and immediately started scolding, "You little punk, where did you run off to? Get your butt back here right now!"

"Old man, we are on a plane right now, will be back soon. By the way, how are things on the ship?"

"Ms. Shi has found a solution and is preparing to inject everyone with the serum; none of you cause any more trouble."

Zhou Jun covered the phone with his hand, turned to Ling Chen, and said, "The old man says Shi Su has found a solution."

"Tell Elder Zhou that we’ve acquired data related to the virus and we’re sending it over now, have Ms. Shi verify it to make sure her solution is flawless."

"You got it!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qi’s face lost its anger, and he mumbled to himself with a smile, "Didn’t expect these brats to have some ability." Saying this, he waved at Shi Su, who was giving out serums nearby, calling her over.

"Elder Zhou, is there something you need?"

"It’s like this, Ling Chen and the others found the mastermind behind all this and obtained some viral data; they hope you can check it to ensure there are no mistakes."

"Is that so?" Interest sparkled in Shi Su’s eyes as she nodded, "Alright then, have someone send over the data, and I’ll make sure to compare it carefully."

Soon, a staff member brought the printed data to Shi Su.

In front of Zhou Qi, Shi Su flipped through the pages, skimming through the information quickly. A few minutes later, she handed the data to Zhou Qi and said with a smile, "Elder Zhou, no need to worry, my solution is perfect."

"That’s great."

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work."

"Please do."

Seeing Shi Su return, Zhu Xiaozhu asked, "Master, did Elder Zhou want something?"

"It’s nothing. Xiaozhu, run to the infirmary and grab some medicine for me." After giving her instruction, Shi Su stopped Han Yu, who was about to leave with Zhu Xiaozhu, and said, "Wait, don’t go. I have another task for you."

Watching Zhu Xiaozhu’s elegant departure, Han Yu reluctantly withdrew his gaze and asked, "Mrs. Su, what do you need?"

Shi Su leaned in and whispered a few words into his ear, instructing him meaningfully, "Remember, find a few reliable people to do this, and make sure no one else finds out... including Xiaozhu."

Han Yu looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before asking quietly, "Mrs. Su, are there issues with those serums?"

"There’s no issue, just a few missing components. Add those and there will be no problems. Hurry along, don’t waste any more time."

"Understood."

...

Two hours later, the plane carrying Ling Chen and his companions finally arrived near the luxury liner.

As the plane landed on the sea, a motorboat from the luxury liner came out to pick them up. Initially, Ling Chen wanted Hu Fei to head back, but during those short two hours, the foul-smell-compatible, similarly natured Hu Fei and Zhou Jun hit it off as if they were long-lost brothers. Zhou Jun insisted on not letting Hu Fei leave, and so took it upon himself to invite him aboard the ship.

Given his status, even if Zhou Qi found out, at most, he would get a scolding.

"Elder."

Seeing the approaching Zhou Qi, Zhou Jun greeted with a smile.

Zhou Qi glared at him, snorted coldly, and gave them a merciless reprimand, "You youngsters have no discipline at all. If anything happened, how am I supposed to explain to your families, especially you mischief-maker, only knowing how to cause me trouble."
