In the laboratory, a thin middle-aged man was observing something carefully. Next to him was a small handful of black powder.

Bai Chi frowned slightly when he saw this. This was the team leader who tried to transfer the power of mermaids to humans.

And that small handful of black powder was obviously a small part of the fish scales that the original owner had replaced before.

Bai Chi still hasn't recovered his mental power, and he has also found a mentor named Xie Zhuo before.

Not only that, ten minutes ago, he even saw Xie Zhuo use water to brew a little bit of fish scale powder and drink it directly!

He seems to want to gain the power of the mermaid from the scales?

In fact, when leaving the laboratory, Bai Chi had already discovered that among all the scales, only his own black scales still had some energy remaining.

When Bai Chi saw this scene, he almost vomited. He finally understood. This guy named Xie Zhuo thought that by eating scales with energy, the energy could be absorbed by humans?

It's a dream!

Seeing Xie Yun coming over, Xie Zhuo calmly stopped what he was doing, picked up the water cup next to him, and drank the last few sips of water in it.

Then he stood up slowly and turned to look at Xie Yun.

"I warned you before. I gave you so much money. Don't be greedy and buy cheap things. He's a mermaid and has seen real jewelry. You can't trick him."

"And today, I also told you not to go look for Yin Baichi, but you didn't listen."

Xie Yun's face turned pale. He also remembered that Xie Zhuo had indeed reminded him.

But he felt that Yin Baichi had never come into contact with outsiders and was very simple. He could coax her into submission by just saying a few nice words, and there was no need to waste unnecessary money!

Fortunately, I had made thorough preparations at the beginning, and all the things were prepared by others. Now the other party can just pack up the stall and run away, and I don’t have to worry about being exposed.

Bai Chi looked at the two of them thoughtfully. He hadn't noticed before, but now that they were standing together, he suddenly realized that Xie Yun and Xie Zhuo were somewhat similar in appearance.

What’s more, they have the same surname, Xie. Could it be that they are a family?

"Xiao Hei, retrieve all the information about the Xie family in the main city."

His intuition told him that the instigator who hid himself so deeply could not be just a small research instructor.

What's more, judging from Xie Yun's attitude, he and Xie Zhuo should be on the same level, which means there are people who are higher than them.

"Okay, meow~"

Xiao Hei also wanted to find out the mastermind who hurt the beautiful mermaid as soon as possible, and he was very positive about the task assigned by his master!

These days, it doesn’t even play its new collection of mini-games!

Xie Yun closed the door of the laboratory, pulled over a chair and sat down unhappily.

"So what do you say we should do now? The eldest prince is so generous, what else can I give him now?"

Xie Zhuo looked at him like an idiot.

"Can you afford to give me jewelry worth hundreds of millions?"

It is common knowledge among all humans that mermaids love beautiful jewelry.

"Besides that necklace, the mermaids' food is now also taken care of by the Crown Prince. All the ingredients were salvaged from the deep sea within three hours and quickly airlifted to the research institute."

Every time Xie Zhuo said something, Xie Yun's face darkened.

"So what should we do now? Yin Baichi is the only undifferentiated mermaid we can get in touch with!"

Xie Zhuo thought thoughtfully: "Perhaps, it's time to change someone..."
