When Yu Shaojie saw this handmade bell, he was shocked! He suddenly realized that he might have mistaken the person for someone else!

Wen Yirou has an identical handmade bell...

Yu Shaojie couldn't help but ask, "Qiqi, do you remember this bell? We found it at your home in J City."

Yunqi nodded: "I remember, this is a handmade bell that I wove myself."

Yu Shaojie asked nervously, "Do you have another bell that looks exactly the same?"

Yunqi nodded and then shook her head: "There was indeed an identical bell before this one, but I accidentally lost it, and I was sad about it for a long time... Later, because I really liked that bell, I made a new one that was exactly the same."

So that's how it is! So the bell Wen Yirou was holding was dropped by Yu Yunqi? And she picked it up? So her savior was Yu Yunqi?!

Yu Shaojie stared at Yun Qi: "Do you remember the injured man in the alley of East Street in J City three years ago?"

Yunqi thought for a moment: "...Hmm, I remember that person was seriously injured at the time, so I called an ambulance...Speaking of which, I also lost my bell that day..."

So, it really was Kiki who saved me!

...Why would Wen Yirou claim this life-saving grace?

She made me find my true savior three years too late! If I had found her sooner, I might have been able to prevent this tragedy!!

Xiaoqi: Qiqi, the female lead Wen Yirou's luck has declined...

Yunqi: Okay, I understand. Judging from Yu Shaojie's expression, he probably knows that Wen Yirou wasn't his savior, so he won't be Wen Yirou's simp or backup anymore.

Xiaoqi: That's hard to say... It depends on how much influence the female lead's aura still has...

Yunqi: ...Let's see if Yu Shaojie will be affected next time he sees Wen Yirou.

On the other side, at the Ye family laboratory.

The researchers looked at Ye Junhan excitedly: "Where did this scale come from?!"

Ye Junhan looked at the other person and said, "Tell me first, what kind of creature's scales are these?"

The researcher looked embarrassed: "This...your grandfather said it had to be kept secret..."

Ye Junhan raised an eyebrow: "You can't even tell me?!"

The researchers lowered their heads and remained silent.

Ye Junhan didn't say much, putting his hands in his pockets with a nonchalant air: "Oh, where did I find this scale?... Sorry, I forgot."

"You!" The researchers were at a loss; this was the successor of the Ye family, someone they couldn't afford to offend!

The researcher cautiously suggested, "Young Master Ye, we're just following orders. Why don't you go ask your grandfather?"

Seeing how much the researchers admired the scales, Ye Junhan snatched them away, saying, "Since you won't tell me, then forget it. I brought these scales with me, and I'm taking them with me now!"

The researchers panicked: "Young Master Ye, you can't take it away! We still need to conduct our research!!"

"Since I brought it here, of course I can take it with me."

After Ye Junhan finished speaking, he prepared to leave the laboratory.

Just then, Grandpa Ye (Ye Junhan's grandfather) arrived.

The old man, leaning on his cane, called out to Ye Junhan, "Didn't you want to know what kind of creature those scales were? Come with me..."

The old man led Ye Junhan and several researchers into a laboratory on a lower level. Ye Junhan had no idea that the Ye family had such a secret laboratory!

Upon reaching the next laboratory floor, the space was vast, and a giant glass container filled with formalin contained... a mermaid?!

Ye Junhan was shocked: "This is... a mermaid?!"

Researcher: "Yes. The scales in your hand are from a mermaid."

Ye Junhan looked at the mermaid in the container and it seemed familiar... but after thinking about it more carefully, he was shocked!!

He recalled the information he had just seen yesterday, and it was clearly the appearance of Yu Yunqi's mother, Yu Renmei.

Sensing Ye Junhan's shock, the researcher handed him the data and said, "This is a mermaid discovered three years ago. Her name is Yu Renmei, and she lived in J City. She also had a mixed-race daughter with a human named Yu Yunqi. However, when we went to capture them that day, Yu Renmei thwarted our plan. Yu Renmei gave her mermaid pearl to Yu Yunqi, allowing Yu Yunqi to escape! Yu Renmei was severely injured and did not have the mermaid pearl to recover. She died not long after being captured."

Ye Junhan recalled that the information he had previously received, which stated that "Yu Renmei killed her husband Zheng Qinghe and fled to escape punishment," was false. In reality, the Ye family had sent people to kill Zheng Qinghe and arrest Yu Renmei...

Ye Junhan looked at his grandfather: "Grandpa, why does our Ye family laboratory specifically study mermaids?"

Grandpa Ye: "Mermaid is just a Western term. We call them 'mermaids.' Legend has it that mermaids' tears turn into pearls, which has been proven true. And mermaid pearls can bring the dead back to life and heal all diseases and injuries..."

Ye Junhan: "So, Grandpa wants the mermaid pearl?"

Grandpa Ye continued, "However, the pearl will only be effective if the mermaid willingly offers it up."

Ye Junhan couldn't understand his grandfather anymore. He had only thought his grandfather was a bit strict at first, but he never expected that his grandfather had been researching merfolk for so many years without his knowledge...

Even though he was already the successor of the Ye family... his grandfather had no intention of telling him this...

It was only after he discovered the mermaid's scales that his grandfather told him...

"How did Grandpa know that the mermaid pearl could bring the dead back to life and cure all diseases and injuries?"

“Our Ye family has records of this,” Old Master Ye said, looking at Ye Junhan. “Junhan, now you can tell me where you got these scales, right?”
