She glanced at the fish in his arms.

It was completely covered up.

His face was turned inwards, and apart from his hair, you couldn't see a single hair.

Qin Ye hummed in agreement, pulling the little fish closer to his chest. He scanned the mermaids inside the pillar, finally fixing his gaze on Jin Le. A slight smile played on his lips as he asked Bai Feng beside him:

What do you think of him?

Bai Feng answered in a standard, conventional way: "Quiet."

Qin Ye: "Do you want him?"

Bai Feng looked at Qin Ye, his eyes clearly showing confusion.

Qin Ye glanced down at his sleeping little fish. It smelled really good. He hadn't gotten tired of the smell even after two years. He caught Bai Feng staring at him out of the corner of his eye. He looked up and met Bai Feng's gaze. Bai Feng felt a chill run down his spine from the look he gave him.

The only thing to do is to stay calm and try to remain composed.

"45, I can't even afford a fraction of that, forget it."

Qin Ye smiled and said, "It has to be sent out by noon tomorrow at the latest. If you can't produce it, just keep looking at it. I have a meeting tonight and won't be here, so please keep an eye on the equipment."

Upon hearing that he had a gathering that evening, Bai Feng's spirits lifted, thinking: This is a golden opportunity.

"Are you coming again tonight?" she asked, looking at the little mermaid. "Will he take him with him too?"

Qin Ye keeps a small fish in his office, which most people in the research institute know. Qin Ye doesn't often bring him out, and many people don't have the chance to go to his office.

Even if you go, you might not be able to see them.

They were either in the rest area or in the ocean cabin; they weren't allowed to enter either of those places without Qin Ye's permission.

During the first year, Zhou Xiaohai still kept in mind and would occasionally probe and ask.

The following year, he obediently focused on his own experiments.

Qin Ye never told him. If he did, he would either kick him out or change the subject. If this happened frequently, he would be assigned a lot of work, and his rest time would be squeezed out. Gradually, Zhou Xiaohai lost interest in the little mermaid.

The main problem is Qin Ye. It's like giving you a burst of sex during a high orgasm; if you ejaculate too many times, you'll naturally lose your erection.

"Hmm." For the first time, he explained, "He's getting bored. He's been losing pearls every day. Let's take him out for a walk to cheer him up."

Bai Feng frowned: "He's a mermaid, how could he..."

Qin Ye: "Okay, we won't go far. After we finish the gathering, we'll take him home for a couple of days."

Bai Feng: "If you don't come, who will sign tomorrow?"

Qin Ye: "It doesn't matter who signs."

Bai Feng nodded: "Okay, be careful on the road."

Qin Ye: "Mm."

Holding the little fish, Bai Feng's heart pounded, but he pretended to be nonchalant and stared at Jin Le for a while. About half an hour later, Bai Feng went to the bathroom and used his self-made software to contact an insider.

It is confirmed that Qin Ye has left.

Most of the staff remaining here tonight are people I had already replaced; now is the perfect time to make my move.

If he missed it, other mermaids might be able to wait, but Jinle couldn't.

Now we have no choice but to take action.

Have someone turn off the alarm first, then turn off the surveillance.

Bai Feng quickly arranged for vehicles to be parked at the research institute. He injected a certain amount of anesthesia into the aggressive mermaids, calculating that they would recover by the time they reached the seaside.

The entire process of loading them onto the vehicle was orderly and very quick.

Inside and out, all the mermaids who were still relatively healthy were moved. Finally, it was Jin Le's turn, and Bai Feng looked up.

Looking at the three-meter-tall mermaid floating in the water column.

He was really beautiful, with a thick, strong fishtail and dazzlingly shiny scales. The abs and pectoral muscles he had developed over the past two years were still there. Bai Feng liked his world-weary eyes; he looked good even when he was fierce, and even more beautiful when he was quiet.

I couldn't help but lose myself in thought as I watched.

This might be the last time we see each other.

Bai Feng was feeling very conflicted at this moment.

His purpose in coming to the research institute was to rescue the mermaid.

Success is just around the corner.

Although there was nervousness, there was more joy, but the thought that I might never see Jin Le again made my heart ache so much that I couldn't breathe.

At that moment, a middle-aged man wearing a white mask walked over quickly.

He urged, "Mr. Bai, let's hurry."

Bai Feng knew that the longer he stayed, the more dangerous it would be. Even though he was reluctant, he could only hurriedly press his fingerprint. After the unlock was successful, Jin Le was rescued. With Bai Feng there, he was indifferent.

Let those annoying humans move me around.

Bai Feng was worried and feared something might happen on the way, so he got on the bus as well.

He had everything arranged for the journey.

No one will stop you.

Once you successfully reach the beach, everything will be over.

From Qin Ye's departure to the successful transfer of the mermaid, everything went so smoothly that it seemed strange. Even though everything had been arranged, Bai Feng still felt something was amiss. But for him, this was indeed an excellent opportunity.

The car continued driving.

Bai Feng dared not sit in the back, as the effects of the medicine would gradually wear off, and once the mermaids regained consciousness, they would really tear him apart.

Bai Feng wasn't worried that releasing them would lead to the capture of new mermaids. For nearly a year, the fishing team had been empty-handed, and they hadn't had any new blood in a long time.

Another thing is that they go back and tell the other mermaids about the dangers on land, and they will likely avoid it.

He planted many miniature time bombs in the laboratory.

Once it explodes.

Rebuilding a research institute would cost at least hundreds of billions of dollars. Many of the heavy instruments alone are worth nine or ten figures. In short, the cost would be enormous. The research institute has been destroyed, and it is unlikely to be restarted anytime soon.

Or just delete the project altogether.

The best state for humans is to follow the natural laws of birth, aging, illness, and death.

Bad people, if they live long enough, also harm society.

After driving for more than five hours, they arrived at the seaside late at night, which made it easier for them to move around. Everyone started releasing the fish. The fish, which had been listless, seemed to be magically transformed the moment they came into contact with the seawater, just as the medicine was about to take effect.

It disappeared into the vast ocean in the blink of an eye.

Finally, it was Jin Le's turn. He opened the lid, and Bai Feng suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand. Looking at the house so close by, Jin Le glanced at the man with a cold expression.

With tears welling in his eyes, Bai Feng asked, "Can I hug you?"

Jin Le frowned, unable to understand what he was saying.

He didn't know what this human was doing. He released all the other merfolk directly, but when it came to him, he showed a sad expression. He didn't understand Bai Feng and just wanted to go back as soon as possible.

Find Tar and give the sea pearl to Nan Yu.

They will stay away from humans from now on.

Bai Feng risked being torn apart to hug Jin Le.

This was also the first time he had ever hugged someone.

Mermaids are cold-blooded, and their body width is one and a half times that of a human. They would seem very large if you hugged them. Bai Feng did not hug them for long and personally sent Jin Le back to the ocean.

Upon touching the water, Jin Le showed no reluctance whatsoever; he himself was unaware of Bai Feng's feelings for him.

The golden figure vanished completely.

Bai Feng felt as if a piece of his heart was missing, his nose and eyes stung, his unrequited love reached its peak, and his eyes reddened. Suddenly, there was applause behind him, and several footsteps approached.

Bai Feng tensed up, quickly stood up, and turned around.

Upon seeing the person who should have been standing to the side appear before him, his expression changed slightly.

But he quickly came to terms with it.

The man approached, looked Bai Feng up and down, and said meaningfully, "I was wondering why my fish has been so restless lately, Bai Feng, you've got some nerve."

Bai Feng knew he would be sought after, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Resigned, he frowned and asked, "If you knew this would happen, why did you wait until I released him before showing up?"
