Just as all was quiet and the sunlight gently fell on the ground, a figure slowly approached from afar—an old woman with snow-white hair, a face full of wrinkles, yet full of vigor. She gently waved an old and simple palm-leaf fan in her hand, and although her steps were slightly unsteady, each step revealed a sense of composure and determination.

She slowly approached, her gaze settling on the young man in front of her, and asked, "Young man, judging from your appearance, are you here for tourism and looking for a guesthouse?"

When asked, Mu Chen raised his head slightly, his originally dull eyes now showing a hint of red, and he replied softly, "Grandma, no, I actually came here specifically to find someone."

Hearing this, the old woman seemed intrigued and pressed on, "Oh? Who are you looking for? Could it be that extremely beautiful woman, as if she were a celestial being descended to earth?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen's eyes flashed with excitement, and he nodded hurriedly, "That's right! Mother-in-law, have you seen her? Has she been back recently?"

The old woman gently fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan, frowned, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Hmm... she has indeed been gone for quite some time. I reckon it's been at least a few months, but as for the exact time, this old woman is getting on in years and her memory isn't very good, so I really can't remember clearly." As she spoke, she smiled helplessly.

A blazing fire of hope instantly ignited in Mu Chen's eyes, so intense and bright that it seemed to engulf him entirely. He trembled with excitement, his joy surging like waves, one after another crashing against his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"She's really still alive!" These words echoed in Mu Chen's ears like exquisite celestial music.

"She's not dead, her Wen Shu..." Mu Chen murmured to himself, his voice hoarse with excitement. At this moment, all the pain, longing, and despair in his heart vanished, replaced by nothing but happiness and joy.

But where had Wen Shu, whom he longed for, gone? Why hadn't she returned to his side? At this moment, countless possibilities flooded his mind, leaving him in a state of turmoil. Had she lost her memory? Or had she accidentally hit her head and lost her memory? Or was it because he was frequently away on business trips, unable to be by her side, that she was unhappy and depressed?

"Immediately check all relevant flight information, including Wen Shu's boarding records, ID card usage, and information on any vehicles she's traveled in!" Mu Chen ordered his secretary anxiously, his voice laced with unquestionable authority. The secretary quickly replied, "Yes, sir!" and immediately began carrying out the task, knowing that there couldn't be the slightest delay, lest she anger her boss, whose emotions were already on the verge of spiraling out of control. However, deep down, the secretary couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Sigh, my boss is probably going to go crazy again..."

After a tense and busy search, the secretary rushed back and reported the results to Mu Chen: "Boss, I'm sorry, we found nothing. According to the information we have so far, there are absolutely no travel records for Wen Shu in recent years!"

Mu Chen slumped wearily at the entrance of Wen Shu's antique-style mansion, his eyes bloodshot, his expression dejected and frustrated. His hands trembled as he dialed a number, issuing orders in a low, hoarse voice: "Immediately withdraw all search teams." He added, "Send another reliable person to guard this place. If Wen Shu returns, inform me immediately." After hanging up, Mu Chen seemed to have all his strength drained away, leaning weakly against the gate.

For the next few days, Mu Chen stayed temporarily on the beautiful island. Every day, he would arrive early at the gate of Wen Shu's residence, sitting quietly and waiting, his eyes always fixed on the distance, hoping that familiar figure would appear. However, as the days passed, there was still no sign of Wen Shu's return. Each time his hopes were dashed, Mu Chen's heart felt as cold as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

In the end, Mu Chen had to accept reality, and returned to the company dejectedly, filled with disappointment and resentment. Despite being busy with work, his mind was completely elsewhere, and his thoughts kept drifting back to the moments he had spent with Wen Shu.

After arriving here and getting used to it for a while, Su Yun found that it was much more convenient in every way compared to Jinxiu Island. Not only that, she also made a group of like-minded new friends, which made her love her living environment here even more.

Here, the sea is just a stone's throw away. Every morning or evening, the sea breeze gently caresses the face, bringing a touch of coolness; while the surrounding mountains and forests are lush and green, like a green ocean. Su Yun often immerses himself in this peaceful and serene atmosphere, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

One day, as dusk approached, the setting sun dyed half the sky blood-red. Su Yun, holding her adorable little dog, strolled leisurely along the coastline. At that moment, a man was intently photographing the beautiful seascape. Just as he pressed the shutter, Su Yun inadvertently walked into the frame. In the picture, she wore a white long dress, the hem fluttering in the wind, her hair flying, and her little dog running happily beside her, creating a truly beautiful scene.

After the man uploaded the video to the internet, it went viral, quickly attracting widespread attention and discussion among netizens. Within just a few days, the video garnered over ten million views, making the man an overnight sensation and a highly sought-after internet celebrity.

However, Su Yun, who was caught up in all of this, was completely unaware. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Mu Chen's personal assistant, while browsing the web, inadvertently stumbled upon this viral video. His keen eyes immediately locked onto the woman in the video, and he quickly pulled out previously saved photos for careful comparison. "That's right, it's this woman!" the assistant thought to himself with secret delight.

In order to find Su Yun's whereabouts as soon as possible, the personal assistant did not hesitate to put down his work and rushed to the location where the video was filmed. After arriving at the destination, he began to inquire and look for clues, and chose a good spot nearby to keep watch. Hard work pays off. After about half a month, one day, that familiar figure finally appeared in his sight again.

The personal assistant was extremely excited and quickly grabbed his camera to take several clear photos, while also noting down the detailed address. He then immediately sent this crucial information to Mu Chen via his mobile phone…
