Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 733 - 616 This Unreliable One! (Part 1)_2

Zi Yan frowned and looked at his dad, "Daddy is bad!"

Sang Yu also pouted unhappily, glaring at her dad fiercely, "What if you make Mama angry and she leaves!"

Fourth Master looked at his pair of children with a grievance, "Mommy is teasing you, she’s fake crying."

Zi Yan reached out his little hand and touched Mommy’s face. Yi Luowa opened her mouth and bit his small hand.

"Haha... Mommy, ticklish!"

"Mama, bite me too." Sang Yu laughed and extended her small hand.

Yi Luowa gently bit her daughter’s small hand and said with a smile, "It’s time for a nap. Rest well, and in the afternoon, we’ll play with Pengpeng, Ziheng, and Uncle."

"Okay!" The two little ones obediently nodded their heads.

Yi Luowa softly hummed a lullaby, and before long, the two little ones were fast asleep.

Tong Airui propped his head in his hand, watching her. He whispered, "You should take a nap too."

"What about you?"

"I just got back and still haven’t informed Colin or Second Uncle. I’ll make a phone call."

"Then come back and rest after your call."

Tong Airui nodded, put on his shoes, and quietly left the room.

He called Colin, mainly to inquire about the rescue situation. It’s been so many days; many countries have already given up the search. Only Xiawu, Haotian, Beidi, Suoya, Raman, S Country, and Z Country remain persistent.

Things aren’t looking good! Tong Airui entered the study, rubbed his throbbing head, and picked up the phone.

Before he could dial, Colin’s call came in first.

"Colin, I was just about to call you."

"Airui, I just received news, couldn’t wait to call you—the black box has been found!"

"Do we know the cause of the crash?"

"Yes, it’s been identified—the plane’s left wing was hit."

"Hit?!" Tong Airui’s eyes immediately widened, "Who the hell did it?!"

"We investigated. On the day of the accident, there were no military ships in the West Ocean. However, two hours before the crash, a passenger ship was robbed by pirates near the crash site."

"You think pirates hit the plane? Pirates are that powerful now? They even have weapons capable of downing planes?"

"Don’t underestimate pirates. Similar incidents have occurred in recent years. They’ve shot down quite a few planes."

"This is outrageous!" Tong Airui stood up abruptly, "Pass on my orders right away. If no one steps forward to claim responsibility, it doesn’t matter if they’re pirates from the West Ocean or the East Ocean—I want every single one of them thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!"

"Calm down first. For now, we’ll have to handle this covertly."

Tong Airui sunk back into his seat after hearing Colin’s words. He sighed—if he pursued this openly, people would start to wonder why he was taking such action.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Colin sighed, "Why are you thanking me? Airui, the black box has been recovered. Isn’t it time to recall the rescue teams? It’s been so long; continuing the search further doesn’t seem meaningful anymore."

Tong Airui furrowed his brow slightly, "I’ll have to discuss this with my father-in-law."

"All right, I’ll wait for your update."

Tong Airui hung up Colin’s call and hesitated before calling his mother-in-law. He had weighed the situation—his mother-in-law’s health was slightly better than his father-in-law’s, so calling her seemed more appropriate.

Queen Haotian quickly answered the call. After hearing Tong Airui out, she replied in a serious tone, "I just learned about this too. I discussed it with your father—we’ll recall the teams."

"My father already knows? Is he okay?"

"Yes, he’s fine."

"And you..."

Queen Haotian tightly gripped the phone, "I’m fine too. The worst days are over. How is Luowa doing since coming back?"

Changing the topic, Tong Airui went along, "She’s good. She’s napping with the kids right now. When she wakes up, I’ll ask her to call you."

"She called me when she got home. No need to bother her. She’s pregnant now. In the future, let’s try not to let her worry about anything."

"All right, I’ll shield her as much as I can. Mom, don’t be too sad—you know, I have this feeling that Danton will come back."

Queen Haotian laughed lightly, "You don’t need to comfort me. I’ve made peace with it more than anyone else. Stop worrying about that stubborn boy."

Tong Airui hummed in agreement.

"You should get some rest too. These past days must have exhausted you."

Tong Airui said his goodbyes to his mother-in-law and ended the call.

"Recall the teams, but reach out to the other countries. I’ll handle it." Tong Airui finally delivered the difficult order to Colin.

The rescue teams were recalled. Despite this, Tong Airui followed his own instincts and arranged for a smaller search task force. He hoped that this team could bring back some unexpected good news.

After wrapping everything up, Tong Airui finally stepped out of the study.

Long Che noticed his grim expression and asked in a serious tone, "Did you encounter trouble?"

"They found the black box. Honestly, I don’t even know what to say—the plane was shot down by pirates."

Long Che furrowed his brow slightly, "The pirates of the West Ocean are indeed audacious. Quite a few were driven out of the East Ocean by Crescent Island’s Island Master."

"Crescent Island?" Tong Airui blinked in surprise. "Is that the island Uncle Leng took over when he used to be a ’pirate’?"

"Yes. Back then, the old Island Master saved your Uncle Leng. Later, to show gratitude, your Uncle Leng invested in developing Crescent Island. Now, it’s more like a little, oil-rich kingdom."

Tong Airui sat down. "I’ve heard of it. When you built Laiwang Island, you even modeled it after Crescent Island."

Long Che chuckled, "There are things you don’t know."

Tong Airui tilted his head at his father, "What don’t I know?"

"The current Island Master is your Uncle Leng’s rival in love!"

"Haha... Really? I had no idea about that!"

Tong Yao frowned at Long Che, "Why are you telling the kids this?"

Long Che curled his lips into a smile, "Our son’s in a bad mood. Is it wrong for me to bring up Leng Ziye as a topic to cheer him up?"

Tong Yao shot him an irritated look. "I’ve never seen someone this troublesome!"

"Dad, don’t listen to Mom. Tell us more!" Tong Aino, who had been pretending to sleep, opened his eyes.

"Go back to sleep!" Tong Yao slapped his arm lightly.

Tong Aino rubbed his arm, "Fine, don’t say anything! But hitting me is uncalled for. Next time I see Leng Chucan, I’ll ask him!"

Tong Airui shot him a sharp look. "Don’t stir up trouble. Uncle Leng doesn’t even know. If you ask, he’ll figure out Dad was joking about him."

"Nothing I do is ever right!" Tong Aino grumbled, pulling a pillow over his face.

Tong Yao snatched the pillow away. "If you’re so idle, why not help Connie with the kids?"

"Anything I do around her is even more wrong!" Tong Aino smirked.

Tong Airui glanced at him with disdain before turning to his father. "Dad, if you can communicate with the Island Master, could you introduce me to him?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to learn from him—how to eliminate those pirates in the shortest time possible."

Long Che looked at him, speaking firmly, "I understand how you feel. If it weren’t for them, Danton wouldn’t be in trouble. Fine, you don’t need to meet Island Master Ruan. I’ll teach you a few strategies. Follow me to the study."

"Okay." Tong Airui rose and followed his father into the study.

Tong Aino tilted his head onto his mother’s lap, "Mom, I swear, it’s like Dad and you are totally sweet and gentle when talking to my brother, but the second it’s me, it’s thunder and lightning!"

Tong Yao sighed, "Your brother is in a bad mood."

Tong Aino burst into laughter, "I’ve noticed! My brother’s been in a bad mood his entire life!"

Tong Yao laughed as she lightly tapped his cheek, "Good that you know. Spoil your brother a bit from now on!"
