"You tricked me into revealing information first."

"If the research institute is gone, I will die too."

Nan Yu was taken aback, but then he thought of the sea pearl. If all humans lost their memories, he would be safe.

Her heart was still pounding. She reached out and hugged Qin Ye, pressing her lips to his. Her mouth was slightly open as she gently sucked on his lips. The man's breath hitched. He hugged the fish tighter, and the two of them kissed until they were breathless.

Nan Yu: "Can you release Jin Le now?"

Qin Ye agreed.

Releasing one or two fish won't hurt, as long as the little fish are happy.

*

"Qin Suo".

Bai Feng rushed over, not even having time to take off his goggles.

Hearing that Jin Le had been chosen by a mysterious buyer and was being transported there, Bai Feng, not wanting Jin Le to be taken away, gripped the chains and turned to look at the man behind him wearing a white coat, exuding a cold and aloof aura.

Qin Ye glanced at Bai Feng, took his hand out of his coat pocket, and his thin lips moved slightly:

"Why aren't you at work? What are you doing here?"

Bai Feng said urgently, "I heard someone wants to buy him. Director Qin, you said that this mermaid could be used as my experimental subject. Can we get a different one?"

Qin Ye: ?

Seeing the displeasure on the other person's face, Bai Feng quickly added:

"You told us in the previous meeting that we should build trust with the mermaids properly. I've already reached the point where we can touch hands. I've spent a lot of time on this, and I don't want all my efforts to be wasted. Could you please give me a different one?"

Qin Ye: "They specifically asked for him, so I can't decide."

Bai Feng's face paled. "Who is the buyer?"

Qin Ye frowned: "Confidential."

Bai Feng: "Director Qin, are you just going to let me waste two years like this?"

Qin Ye said coldly, "If you can afford 4.5 billion, you can take him home directly."

Bai Feng's eyes froze. 4.5 billion was indeed beyond his means. He clenched his fists and asked, "Could we stay a few more days?"

Qin Ye shook his head.

Bai Feng: "Director Qin, I beg you, three days, just three more days. I really like this mermaid, please give us three more days."

Zhou Xiaohai also often says he likes it. Their liking is their passion for experiments and their satisfaction with the experimental products, not an overstepping of boundaries.

The staff didn't think much of it.

Qin Ye gave Bai Feng a meaningful look, then looked away after two seconds, and curled his lips into a smile. "Alright, then stay for another three days."

Bai Feng's voice even trembled slightly as he thanked him: "Thank you."

Qin Ye made the statement, and for the time being, nothing was done.

If it goes according to the original plan.

Bai Feng will definitely wait until everything is absolutely perfect before making a move.

He now only has three days left.

Zhou Xiaohai is off the day after tomorrow, so all we need to do is get Qin Ye on our side.

Bai Feng began preparations.

Arriving at the water column, gazing at the three-meter-long mermaid, Bai Feng's eyes revealed love. From the first moment he saw him, Bai Feng fell in love with this golden-tailed mermaid. Every time he saw the numbness in his eyes, his heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe. He wanted him to be free, not bound in this cage.

More than two years.

From the initial close-range attack.

Gradually, without medication, one can begin to touch the skin appropriately.

Only he would attack if anyone else got close.

This 'favoritism' made Bai Feng feel even more sorry for Jin Le, but he didn't know that Jin Le only restrained his hatred for him because Nan Yu said that Bai Feng would help the mermaids escape human control.

"Baby, do you want to watch a show?"

Qin Ye hugged the little fish and asked, while his hand wandered over its scales, his fingertips tracing under the scales and caressing them. The little mermaid hummed and immediately went limp, leaning against the man's chest.

"Face-changing? I want to see."

He thought the Sichuan opera face-changing performance was incredibly cool.

"Other plays, catching the mole."

"ah?"

"Very interesting."

"What mole? Where can I find it?"

The little mermaid was a little flustered, feeling something was off. He hadn't understood what the system was saying before, but now he did. Qin Ye was Bai Feng's adversary, that is... the bad guy, and the male protagonist was getting himself involved...

Could it be that they're trying to capture Bai Feng?

"Wait and see who the mole is."

Qin Ye spoke with a slight smile, seemingly in a good mood.

The little fish was terrified by what it heard.

Are you going to arrest someone?

Qin Ye didn't hide it from Nan Yu and nodded.

"Did you make a mistake or something? Why are you being arrested?"

He grabbed Qin Ye's clothes and asked.

He was so nervous that he made Qin Ye laugh.

Staring at those tightly pursed lips, he leaned in and kissed them. Nan Yu glared at him, but Qin Ye laughed, "He wanted to steal fish."

Nan Yu's face turned pale. He knew it was all over. If Bai Feng took action, everything would be over.

"Yes, really? Why would he steal fish?" she stammered, flustered.

Qin Ye gently touched the little face, his movements incredibly tender. "He probably wants to be a hero, baby. What do you think? Should I give him a chance?"

Nan Yu's expression completely broke down, and she even felt a little scared. She suddenly felt that Qin Ye was terrifying. How did he know everything?

She was completely different from the husband he usually saw.

He also told himself.

I won't even lie...

He suddenly pushed the person away, causing him to roll off the sofa with a loud thud. Qin Ye tensed up and wanted to grab Yu to see where he had bumped into something.

The little fish dodged away, moving backward, its face full of fear, "No, don't kill me."

Qin Ye frowned, went over and hugged Xiao Yu, then put him back on the sofa.

Nan Yu shrank into the corner, staring at Qin Ye in terror.

Qin Ye shifted slightly, kneeling beside the little mermaid's feet, his hand resting on her tail. The tail retracted, and he gripped her hand tightly, preventing Nan Yu from escaping. He tilted his head back, his brows furrowed.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

"You're lying to me! You definitely want to dissect me!"

It clung tightly to its tail, not daring to lift its head, and couldn't pull its hand away from Qin Ye's grasp; it was almost crying.

Qin Ye sat on the sofa, pulled his wife into his arms, turned her face towards him, and looked into Xiao Yu's terrified eyes. A pang of pain shot through his heart, and he patted and trembled as he comforted her:

"I was just saying, why did you scare me? I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with you. You'll always be my good baby, sweetie."

He lowered his head and kissed her little mouth to comfort her.

Nan Yu didn't dare to say anything after that.

Qin Ye held him the whole time.

I was never able to calm him down.

He patted the fish's bottom, then touched its head and face, and kissed its little hand. Nan Yu didn't react at all; it neither took the initiative nor resisted. Qin Ye could only stay with it.

I should have kept quiet.

They even made me study them before, weren't they very bold?

He felt completely numb. He wanted to move, but his body was stiff. He was also very sleepy and fell into Qin Ye's arms in a daze.

Qin Ye suddenly moved, took out a syringe from the drawer, and seeing that Xiao Yu was dazed, stabbed the needle into a vein in his arm.

He didn't feel any pain when he got the injection; Nan Yu didn't even lift her eyelids.

In my half-dream state, I still thought I was dreaming.

Once the medication took effect, I slept much better.

He picked up a cotton half-sleeve sleeping bag, put it over the fishtail, then took a thin blanket, covered him with it, picked him up and walked outside. There was no one in the corridor, so Qin Ye went to the water column.

Bai Feng is here.

Qin Ye smiled slightly.

He carried the little fish over.

Hearing the sound of the mechanical door opening, Bai Feng turned around and saw Qin Ye. He calmly greeted him, "Director Qin."
