After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"Honey, the boat is ready and moored at private dock number seven."

It was a medium-sized oceanographic research vessel with a gray hull and satellite antennas and cranes.

It may look unremarkable on the outside, but its hull is specially reinforced, making it far superior to other vessels in terms of wave resistance, self-sufficiency, and stealth.

Key equipment has been loaded onto the ship, including the Royal Intelligence Service's compilation of all non-public reports of marine anomalies in the area over the past seventy years.

Encrypted communication modules, underwater detection equipment, basic weapons, and medical first aid kits.

Wang Yuyan added a note: "Monitoring data shows that the geomagnetic index in this sea area has been fluctuating slowly and abnormally recently."

It perfectly matches the moon's gravity and tidal cycle.

The fact that the person behind the scenes chose to send us there now may be related to the cyclical changes in tides and magnetic fields.

Detailed hydrological information and real-time weather forecasts for the past week have been sent to your device.

See you at the pier at 6 a.m. tomorrow.

Ye Tian replied that he had received the message, and then opened the encrypted data package sent by Wang Yuyan.

The data is very professional, including ocean current speed, direction, temperature and salinity distribution, and historical storm path maps.

There were also several vague reports indicating that sonar recorded the movement of unidentified large objects, but they could not be continuously tracked.

He took a close look at the weather forecast for the next few days.

The area was indeed in a relatively calm window, as indicated by the anchor date.

However, the surrounding pressure gradient indicates that strong air currents may form after the calm period.

The next morning, before dawn, the city was shrouded in a gray-blue fog.

Ye Tian drove to the No. 7 private pier.

The pier was small, with few boats moored, and it was quiet.

A medium-sized, gray vessel with sharp lines sat quietly in the outermost berth, the words "Submersible" and a registration number painted in inconspicuous lettering on its hull.

The ship's lights were only on to the bare minimum, like a steel behemoth that had retracted its claws and lay in wait.

Wang Yuyan was already standing at the dock. Today she was wearing a dark gray windbreaker and pants, and her long hair was tied into a neat ponytail.

They appear even more youthful, vibrant, and charming.

Sun Yongqiang carried a small tactical backpack, his expression was stern, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

He saw Ye Tian coming over, smiled and nodded, and greeted Ye Tian.

"You've all been so busy these past few days, I haven't been able to help much."

However, my feng shui and yin-yang techniques will come in handy next.

Whether on land or at sea, it works for finding treasure and locating locations.

Sun Yongqiang said without any modesty.

"Then I'll have to trouble you from now on," Ye Tian said without any politeness.

"Honey, the equipment, supplies, and final route reconnaissance are all complete."

The captain and two crew members were long-time employees of the Wang family, reliable, tight-lipped, and never asked questions they shouldn't.

They were only responsible for navigation and operating routine equipment; once we reached the designated location, the main operations would still be handled by the three of us.

Ye Tian nodded and was about to board the ship when Nalan Mingyue walked over.

"Ye Tian, ​​come here, I have something to tell you."

Ye Tian and Nalan Mingyue walked to a secluded spot.

Nalan Mingyue then spoke:

"I promised you I would tell you about the Zhao family's conspiracy, and now is the time."

In the Cloud Sea, Zhao Qingtian didn't make a move against you; he must be holding back a big one.

You'd better be extra careful from now on.

Half an hour later, the two returned.

No one knew what the two of them said, only that Ye Tian looked somewhat solemn when he returned.

There's something I think I should tell you the truth.

The message about someone in the Zhao Group wanting to harm you and about your brother's whereabouts being exposed was sent by me.

I did this to sow discord between you and the Zhao Group.

Nalan Mingyue was not angry at all after hearing Ye Tian's words; instead, she laughed.

Even with her face veiled, she still smiled with captivating charm, a sight that evoked pity in me.

"I really want to thank you. If it weren't for your message, I wouldn't have known about the Zhao Group's wolfish ambitions so quickly."

I have investigated thoroughly and found that Zhao Qingtian is indeed secretly plotting against our Viper organization.

Your reminder was very timely, giving us ample time to prepare.

I've already changed my brother's school, and I promise no one can hurt him now.

If you encounter any problems that you can't solve in the future, please let me know.

Or come find me in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Once you're on my turf, no one can hurt you.

This is my promise to you!

"I'm leaving." Nalan Mingyue waved to the others and walked away into the distance.

"You promised me that if I come to you again, you would remove my veil. Do you still keep your promise?"

Ye Tian suddenly called out from behind her.

"Fine, if you dare to come, I mean it!"

Nalan Mingyue suddenly stopped, but without turning around, she continued walking forward and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Husband, according to the clan rules of Mingyue and her clan, if they remove their veils in front of a man, it means they agree to marry that man."

And they can only marry one man in their lifetime, so you must treat her well in the future.

Wang Yuyan moved closer to Ye Tian and said with a grin.

"Hmph, you always seem to be a womanizer wherever you go."

Murong Xue came to see Ye Tian off and happened to witness this scene.

She turned and walked out with an icy demeanor.

"No, I didn't know that their ethnic group had this custom."

Nobody told me.

Ye Tian explained from behind.

"President Ye, you know perfectly well that President Murong is arrogant and possessive, yet you still let her witness this kind of thing."

If she didn't know, she could have just turned a blind eye and let it go.

Now you're in for a rough time.

"The president's secretary, Li Rongrong, said with a helpless expression."

"Boss, we should go now, or we'll miss the auspicious time."

Just as Ye Tian was about to coax Murong Xue, the captain on the ship began to urge him on.

"Rongrong, please comfort her for me. I'll comfort her properly when I get back."

Ye Tian and Li Rongrong hugged goodbye.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, President Murong has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

When you get back, try your best to coax her; she'll definitely forgive you.

Li Rongrong's tone softened immediately after Ye Tian hugged her.

Tell her that when I get back, I'll stay with her for three days and three nights—no, seven days and seven nights—without ever leaving the house!

Ye Tian made a harsh statement.

"Mr. Ye, you don't need to push yourself so hard. Seven days and seven nights, aren't you afraid of being completely drained?"

Li Rongrong chuckled and gave Ye Tian a charming look.

"To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is to be romantic. I'm off!"

Ye Tian waved his hand and boarded the boat with Wang Yuyan and Sun Yongqiang.

The ship's space was compact yet well-organized, the passageways were clean, and all the equipment was securely fixed.

Wang Yuyan led Ye Tian quickly through the living area, the cockpit, the fully equipped equipment room, and a small conference room used for intelligence analysis.

After settling their luggage, Wang Yuyan led Ye Tian to the stern deck.

The sea breeze, carrying a strong, salty smell, hit me ten times more intensely than in the city.

In the distance, a faint glimmer of dawn appeared where the sea met the sky, blurring the boundary between the light of day and the dark surface of the sea.

The lights on the dock gradually shrank into dim yellow dots behind us.

Wang Yuyan stopped and turned to face Ye Tian.

She took out a jade pendant strung on a thin silver chain from her inner pocket; it was the "Sea-Stabilizing Pendant" that she always carried with her.

"Honey, you need it more than I do."

She handed over the jade pendant, the sea breeze ruffling the stray hairs on her forehead, making her look like a beautiful elf.
