Ye Jingfan and Cheng Qi's relationship was finalized very quickly. They had a good relationship and shared the same ideas. Although there were occasional minor frictions, they were both willing to compromise, so there was nothing inappropriate.
Before leaving, Ye Jingfan quietly asked Jiang Tang: "When do you plan to propose to him?"
You may be in love with a mermaid, but it is irresponsible to put her in an extremely insecure state.
When Jiang Tang spoke to him, he didn't feel at all helpless in front of Lin Su. He said calmly, "I'm preparing."
"Hmm..." Ye Jingfan was somewhat surprised by his attitude. "Didn't you always stay away from mermaids before?"
"Aren't you the same?" Jiang Tang glanced at him and said.
"Different paths lead to the same destination." Ye Jingfan straightened his hat and said, "I wish you good luck."
Jiang Tang put his hands in his coat pockets and nodded.
Jiang Tang was indeed preparing for the proposal ceremony, but since it was his first time doing this, he always wanted to make it perfect.
Is Lin Su willing to marry him? Although he always looks gentle, Jiang Tang sometimes can't figure out where his heart is.
The star network can be connected with just a wristband, and holographic images can also be invested in it. Lin Su is familiar with the operation. He drinks calorie-free coffee in the holographic simulated private reception room, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
Qin Yue entered with the password, knocked on the door and gestured, then looked at Lin Su and raised his head. They had met not too many times, but every time he was amazed by the unique temperament and outstanding appearance of this mermaid.
He didn't look like a mermaid who had just entered human society. He had no fish tail, but just a pair of long legs crossed as he sat there, looking more like a top dignitary.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Qin Yue asked with a smile as he sat down.
"You're punctual. I'm early." Lin Su didn't play his innocent game with him. Instead, he asked directly, "How's the investigation going?"
"Just like you said, we found a stronghold but it was destroyed. They seemed to have a special information channel, and the important personnel slipped away in advance, so we didn't find them." Qin Yue's face darkened.
He didn't take it too seriously when Lin Su first entrusted him to investigate the Mermaid Black Research Organization. After all, the people of the empire were born with the idea of caring for mermaids. However, when he really followed the clues, he found out that the organization that harmed mermaids was actually wrong.
The few members who were captured confessed their purpose of studying mermaids. Because the number of mermaids was too small, they longed for mermaids, and wanted to develop technology that would allow mermaids to give birth to large numbers of offspring. They also wanted to develop technology that could transform ordinary humans into mermaids at will.
If it was just ordinary research without harming mermaids, the purpose would have been good. However, they actually dissected living mermaids. Their soft and beautiful bodies were covered in blood, struggling but unable to die. There was even a natural mermaid among them. The scene was so shocking.
If he hadn't found it out, but someone else had exposed it later, the entire Pacific Empire would have been in turmoil. The Star Alliance might even take away all the natural mermaids to protect their survival, and it would have been impossible for Cheng Qi and Lin Su to stay.
"I will continue to investigate. Such things will absolutely not be tolerated." Qin Yue said, "Thank you for the information you provided to the empire before, but I want to know where on earth you got this information from? If I remember correctly, you should have just come ashore not long ago."
Lin Su smiled. "As a deep-sea mermaid who has come ashore, isn't it natural for me to be concerned about whether there are forces in this country that might harm mermaids? Isn't it common knowledge that not all mermaids initially signed a pact with humans?"
"You know of their existence, and that's where you come from." Qin Yue accepted this explanation, because a mermaid like Lin Su must be a leader even among the earliest deep-sea mermaids.
They may not have appeared in front of humans, but the initial agreement between mermaids and humans was definitely well prepared.
According to the research vessel at the time, Cheng Qi was captured by them accidentally, but Lin Su followed them back voluntarily.
Is he really as simple and stupid as people think?
Of course not.
"I'm sorry to ask you such a question," Qin Yue said, "but please believe that I have no ill intentions. It's just that a few decades ago, a country did use the identity of a mermaid to steal the empire's secrets. Of course, that country has now been deprived of the right to own a mermaid."
"If I wanted to steal it, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to use the face I showed to Jiang Tang?" Lin Su blinked, his deep pupils replaced with complete innocence and purity. His gentle smile was enough to gather all the starlight. "Your Majesty, are you willing to give me your life?"
Qin Yue's heart trembled, and words of affirmation almost blurted out. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and said with a smile: "If you are not interested in me, you shouldn't arouse my interest in you."
The unknown is mysterious and inviting to explore, and Lin Su is full of unknowns. He is like a huge mystery. You know that he is extremely dangerous, but you are unconsciously attracted to him, and you will not realize it until your soul is torn to pieces.
"This is revenge for you suspecting me without any evidence." Lin Su said bluntly, "I have no ill will towards the Empire. I just want to protect someone."
It was obvious who that person was.
"Being protected by mermaids is a sign of human incompetence and shame," Qin Yue said.
"Mermaids are lustful and have a strong reproductive capacity. Born in the deep sea, they are top hunters." Lin Su laughed. "But today's mermaids are all weak. Only natural mermaids have such a high fertility rate. Perhaps it's because humans protect them too much. If you put a bird in a cage, it will gradually lose the ability to fly. What do you think?"
Qin Yue also knew that the mermaids' current living conditions were a vicious cycle, but Lin Su was the first one who could point out the crux of the problem so bluntly, and he was an S-level deep-sea mermaid.
"With your insights, you should be in the position of Queen to change the current situation of mermaids in this country." Qin Yue said with a smile, "Of course, it's not just your insights, I really admire you."
"Sorry, I think we can be partners, but never lovers." Lin Su stood up, nodded, and said goodbye.
He left without hesitation, which made Qin Yue feel a little frustrated. He had never encountered such a setback with anyone before. He certainly knew the principle of retreating when encountering difficulties, but he was unwilling to retreat before everything was settled.
When Lin Su took off his holographic helmet, he happened to see Jiang Tang sitting opposite him. Dr. Jiang looked particularly cold in his white coat. The fruit plate that had just been brought in and the straight gaze he was looking at made people feel that he seemed a little aggrieved.
