Chapter 513: Carnivorous Mermaid vs. Sickly Merchant (5)

Finding that the stairs to the third floor were empty and there was nothing there, Yu Chen rubbed them gently with his fingertips.

Is it an illusion?

Lu Cha had already slipped back to the room on the top floor and was eating the stolen potato chips with contentment.

The little villain is quite alert.

Why is my body not sensitive at all?

Didn't she look in the right place?

Lucha crushed the potato chips with malicious intent.

Time to touch him again!

At this time, in the living room on the first floor.

An Wenqing, who had made tea, regained consciousness and placed the teacup on the coffee table in front of Yu Chen. She then stood away with a vigilant look on her face.

"What are you doing here?"

Yu Chen did not touch the cup of tea, and said slowly:

"My new pet is lost. Someone saw it near your villa, so I came to look for it."

An Wenqing frowned and didn't believe Yu Chen's words at all.

How could a madman who even wants to kill his own father have the kindness to keep a pet?

Without waiting for her to open her mouth to question, several men in black brought by Yu Chen started searching directly.

An Wenqing's face darkened instantly: "Yu Chen, what do you mean?!"

"This is my house! You have no right to tell them to do this!"

Before An Wenqing could finish her words, she was pinned to the ground by two men in black and her mouth was covered.

"I'm not feeling well and can't stand the noise. I'll have to inconvenience you for a while."

Yu Chen's smile was gentle, but his deep and indifferent eyes made An Wenqing feel a chill in her heart. She had an inexplicable feeling -

If she dared to resist or make a sound, Yu Chen would definitely cut off her tongue.

An Wenqing stopped struggling in fear and watched Yu Chen go upstairs. Suddenly, she remembered something.

She heard from people in the black market that Yu Chen often bought mermaids, but no one knew what he did.

If she wasn't known as Yu Chen's sister, she wouldn't even be qualified to enter the black market based on her identity as the second daughter of the An family.

Could it be that Yu Chen came here for that mermaid?

-

upstairs.

Yu Chen's pace was very slow. He would stop to rest for a while after almost every floor to calm his slightly rapid breathing.

When he reached the fourth floor of the top floor, the man in black had already found the mermaid and unlocked the door. He said respectfully:

"Sir, the mermaid is inside."

Yu Chen waved his hand to let the man in black leave, then gently pushed open the door.

There was a faint smell of sea water in the air, and there was no unpleasant fishy smell.

The room was small, with only a rough shallow pool.

A pretty and sweet-looking girl was sleeping soundly by the pool, with her long light blonde hair draped down softly, as if warm sunshine was enveloping her body.

The ends of her hair floated on the water, as if merged with the dazzling golden fish tail underwater.

Legend has it that the mermaid royal family's tails are golden like the sun.

It means they are the only light in the deep sea.

Fish scales can not only be made into clothing that is ten thousand times more comfortable than silk, but they also have the benefit of beautifying the skin and can even help maintain eternal youth.

Fish bones are rare treasures.

It can be ground into powder and used as medicine to prolong life, and it is also the sharpest weapon material.

Yu Chen's eyes wandered freely over the little mermaid, sizing up this perfect product.

He wanted to verify everything in the legend one by one.

Seeing the girl's eyelashes trembling and about to wake up, the morbid madness on Yu Chen's face was instantly replaced by confusion, as if he was very surprised to see her here.

Lu Cha pretended to have just woken up, pretending to be surprised, and spoke with difficulty:

"Why are you here?"

"An Wenqing and I are friends. I came to her house as a guest. I didn't expect to see you."

Yu Chen walked closer to the pool and squatted down.

Looking at this fish tail up close, it becomes even more beautiful and dazzling, making people unable to look away.

Especially the little mermaid came over defenselessly.

Those pure and innocent eyes can only inspire a desire for destruction.

Unfortunately, it’s not the right time yet.

Yu Chen took a deep look at the golden scales under the water, his fingertips slightly curled, as if he was about to peel something off, but his tone was gentle and soft:

"Are you the mermaid An Wenqing raised?"

"Why did you suddenly run away yesterday?"

Hearing Yu Chen mention An Wenqing's name, the mermaid's fragile body suddenly trembled uncontrollably, as if she was very afraid of him:

"She hit me."

"An Wenqing bought me, forced me to sing, wouldn't let me go home, didn't give me food, and wouldn't change the dirty water."

"I ran away yesterday when the servants weren't paying attention, but I was caught again."

The girl's thin shoulders shrugged slightly, making her look like a poor, aggrieved girl.

Tears slid down her fair little face, but when they turned into pearls and were about to fall to the ground, they were caught by a slender big hand.

Lu Cha looked up blankly.

Yu Chen looked sympathetic and wiped away the tears from her eyes: "I didn't know An Wenqing would do such a thing. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Take me away, okay?"

The little mermaid seemed to have found a life-saving straw and grabbed Yu Chen's sleeve tightly.

Yu Chen pursed his lips slightly, looking embarrassed:

"I came up here secretly today. I'm afraid I can't take you away, but I will find a way to save you."

Yu Chen hooked his fingertips around Lu Cha's little finger: "This is how humans make agreements."

"Once you make a promise, you can never go back on your word in this lifetime, or you will pay a heavy price."

"I promise you, I will get you out."

The little mermaid nodded in ignorance, and imitated Yu Chen, hooking her fingers around his: "I'll wait for you."

"Go quickly and don't get discovered."

The little mermaid said worriedly, her translucent golden pupils clearly reflecting the man's miniature, and the dependence she unconsciously revealed made Yu Chen curl the corners of his lips.

That is the hunter's pleasure in seeing his prey walk towards the trap.

"good."

Yu Chen pretended to look around, walked out of the room and locked the door again.

Both sides of the corridor were filled with his people.

When Yu Ming, the leader, wanted to say something, Yu Chen suddenly turned his head, put his finger in front of his lips, and made a hushing gesture.

Yu Ming immediately understood what Yu Chen meant and asked the men in black to go downstairs quietly one after another.

Lu Cha in the room made sure the footsteps had faded away and took out the plastic bag hidden under him.

In addition to the unopened snacks, there were also several empty packaging bags.

Lu Cha opened another bag of potato chips and ate it, excitement flashing in his eyes.

What will the villain do next?

She is looking forward to it~

-

Yu Chen went downstairs and just said "No pet found", then left with everyone.

After being released, An Wenqing slumped on the sofa, frowning as if she had survived a disaster.

What on earth was Yu Chen doing here with her?

If it's for the mermaid, why not just take her away?

Is he trying to use this incident to report her?!

Thinking of this possibility, An Wenqing could no longer sit still and immediately called the contact to get rid of the mermaid.

After hanging up the phone, An Wenqing went to the top floor again and checked the lock on the door.

Unexpectedly, there was no sign of damage.

Did Yu Chen not notice the mermaid in the room, or could the people he brought with him unlock the door?

An Wenqing took out the key and opened the door with wandering thoughts.

In the room.

Glancing at the door handle that was pressed down, Lu Cha quickly hid the snacks and then lay down on the edge of the sink, supporting her face with her hands.

When An Wenqing came in, she saw the well-behaved little mermaid and asked in a cold voice, unmoved:

"Did anyone come in just now?"
