At this moment, on the other side, the people from the Zheng family and the Wang family moved all the stones off the ship No. N and began to study these stones.

At the same time, they did not forget their plan to capture the mermaid. On the sea, search ships shuttled back and forth.

These boats raised white waves, and all kinds of props were placed on the ships, such as gill nets, grappling hooks, iron chains, water bombs, etc. They had only one goal: to catch the mermaid baby that had just hatched.

However, as the days passed, despite the continuous expansion of the search area, their search operation still failed to make any substantial progress.

Not only that, even after careful study, the stones that were moved from the N ship with great difficulty did not yield any valuable information.

Just when they felt helpless, the Wang family began to re-examine the entire incident and once again pointed the finger of suspicion at the Shen family.

At this moment, Jiang Ze, who had been fulfilling his duties in the research institute, was caught off guard when he met a soldier in a neat military uniform.

The colonel looked at Jiang Ze with a serious expression and sharp eyes, and said, "Professor Jiang, please come with me."

After hearing this, Jiang Ze frowned slightly, a look of confusion and dissatisfaction on his face, and responded: "My work has been completed. There are currently no new projects or tasks that require my follow-up."

The colonel's face was as gloomy as water, and he continued without any expression: "Professor Jiang, I think you should know exactly what I am referring to. I hope you will not embarrass me any further."

Jiang Ze snorted coldly, a hint of sarcasm on his lips, and asked in return: "Difficult? What if I absolutely refuse to go with you?"

Colonel: "Then I have to excuse myself." As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and waved it lightly, giving instructions to the two people behind him.

Immediately afterwards, two soldiers came forward and held Jiang Ze's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.

Jiang twisted his body desperately, struggling to resist, and demanded, "Is this your answer to me? I've devoted so much effort to the country over the years, and in the end, it's not worth more than a few casual words from someone else?"

The colonel said to Professor Jiang with a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry, I had no choice but to do it."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from a distance.

Shen Jinghua saw at a glance that two soldiers were holding Jiang Ze's arms tightly. Without saying a word, he rushed forward and pushed the two men away with force.

Then, he quickly pulled Jiang Ze behind him, glared at the colonel, and angrily demanded, "That's all bullshit! If you don't want to do it, how can anyone stop you, Colonel Li?"

After that, Shen Jinghua reached out without hesitation and took off the work badge hanging around his neck, threw it to the ground, and shouted: "Tell your boss, we quit! Resign and leave!"

After saying this, he pulled Jiang Ze up and turned to leave this troubled place. However, before they could take a few steps, Li Mu's men blocked their way again.

Seeing this, Shen Jinghua became even more furious and shouted loudly: "We have all decided to resign, what else do you want?"

Facing Shen Jinghua's questioning, Li Mu pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "I'm really sorry, but you really can't leave like this now."

At this time, Jiang Ze looked at Li Mu and asked in a serious tone: "Colonel Li, do you know what they are doing now?"

Li Mu lowered his head slightly, avoiding Jiang Ze's sharp gaze, and replied softly: "I know."

Shen Jinghua: "You know! You knew and yet you colluded with them! I thought you were a good person!"

Li Mu: "I'm sorry, please come with me. I'm very sorry."

Li Mu said sorry, but raised his hand to signal his men to arrest Shen Jinghua and Jiang Ze together.

Jiang Ze saw that Shen Jinghua was also handcuffed, and immediately asked: "Li Mu, you just wanted to take me away and let Shen Jinghua go."

Li Mu: "Sorry, Professor Jiang, Master Shen has to go with us now."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he saw Shen Jinghua secretly making a phone call with his hands behind his back, but he did not expose it. Instead, he quickly turned his head away and pretended that he did not notice anything.

Sure enough, just as the two soldiers were escorting Jiang Ze and Shen Jinghua and following Li Mu forward, Shen Yanhua and Li Ci rushed over.

Shen Yanhua rushed forward with an angry face, holding a pistol in his hand, with the black muzzle pointed directly at Li Mu, and shouted loudly: "Let go of my brothers, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Li Mu had never expected the other party to be so impulsive and dare to point a gun at him. He couldn't help but frown, sighed helplessly, and slowly said: "Shen Yanhua, you shouldn't do this. Do you know what it means to point a gun at me?"

As a member of a politician, Li Mu held a very special status. If anyone dared to confront Li Mu with a gun, it would be tantamount to openly challenging the authority of the politician, and could even be seen as attempting to betray the country and become an enemy of the entire country.

Facing Li Mu's questioning, Shen Yanhua did not flinch, and retorted with gritted teeth: "The Zheng family was unkind and unjust to our Shen family first, do you still expect me to swallow my anger and compromise obediently?"

Li Mu: "Shen Yanhua, put the gun down, I will pretend I didn't see anything."

Shen Yanhua: “Unless you release my two brothers, I will not put down the gun.”

Hearing this, Li Mu sighed deeply, then reached to his waist and skillfully took out an exquisite pistol. Then he pulled the slide, and the crisp sound of the bullet being loaded instantly broke the tense atmosphere at the scene.

Then, without hesitation, he raised his pistol and pointed the gun at Shen Jinghua.

Seeing this, Li Ci's face suddenly changed and he shouted loudly: "Don't touch him!" However, Li Mu seemed to have made up his mind to take action at this time and was not moved at all.

Shen Yanhua widened his eyes, staring at Li Mu intently, and warned in a trembling but firm voice: "Li Mu, if you dare to hurt them in the slightest today, I swear I will never forgive you in this life!"

However, Li Mu did not stop his actions. "Bang! Bang!" Two dull gunshots suddenly rang out, breaking the silent air.

In an instant, the two figures collapsed to the ground like kites with their strings cut. Blood gushed out from their wounds, quickly staining the ground beneath them red...
