"Well, thank you!" When Su Su saw the food, his unhappiness was instantly smoothed out. He smiled with his eyes curled up, looking both well-behaved and sweet.
When Su Su saw the young man opposite him, his attention was briefly diverted from the food. He vaguely felt that the young man in front of him looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. But Su Su's memory was good, and he was sure that he had never seen such a face before.
After a brief fruitless thought, Su Su decisively gave up the problem and continued to grow big chunks.
"Why are you so hungry? Qi Hanyi really doesn't give you any food." The young man who handed the food to Su Su was Yan Bai. He supported his chin with one hand, tilted his head leisurely, and watched Su Su wolfing down the food.
"Hmm." Su Su choked up when he heard Qi Hanyi's name, then remembered what he said and did as he was told. "Yes, he doesn't care about my meals. Sometimes the robot at home will give me a few fish, and sometimes not."
Yan Bai seemed to be in a better mood, and even scooped a bowl of soup and passed it over: "Slow down, don't choke, no one will compete with you."
The servants standing behind him were stunned. It was good enough that the young master didn't bully others on weekdays. When had he ever been so kind to others? Could it be that the young master was actually an invisible face control and liked faces that looked like his own?
Su Su didn't care who brought it to him. He took the soup and drank it all. Finally, he felt full. He wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said to Yan Bai gratefully, "You are such a good person."
"Puff..." Yan Bai just took a sip of tea, and when he heard this, he choked and smiled playfully: "I'm not a good person."
"But you give me food." Su Su's logic was simple and straightforward.
Yan Bai smiled: "A little food only costs a few dollars. If the Qi family doesn't support you, you can come to the Yan family shipping company at sea and I will support you. You can eat as much as you want."
The servants behind him were all stunned. What did the young master mean by this? Was he openly trying to steal Qi Hanyi's favor?
Su Su was somewhat tempted, but thinking that the issue of the mermaid marriage had not been resolved, he could only shake his head: "I can't leave for the time being. Otherwise, the Qi family will blame the Mermaid Kingdom for the marriage."
"That's right. After all, you are here to marry a foreign prince." Yan Bai seemed to be just saying it casually.
At this time, Zhang Lu was staggering towards the bathroom. He had successfully avenged Qi Hanyi today, and he was so happy that he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, and the alcohol was already a little off.
He pushed open the bathroom door, humming a tuneless tune, when he suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Why, you look happy after taking revenge on Qi Hanyi?"
"Of course..." Zhang Lu responded under the influence of alcohol. He turned around and faced Qi Yang's face. He was stunned for a moment, then relaxed: "I'm just stating the facts. What are you doing? Are you going to avenge me for your cousin? Don't be hypocritical. Don't you hate him too?"
Yes, he knew that several younger generations of the Qi family disliked Qi Hanyi. Who told him to be so outstanding? He didn't even have the protection of his parents, but he sat firmly in the position of the heir of the Qi family.
Qi Yang ignored him and said contemptuously, "You idiot, you are in big trouble."
Zhang Lu narrowed his eyes and said, "What disaster is about to happen? I'm fine. The one who is about to happen is Qi Hanyi. He will be punished by the family law tomorrow. Hehe, it would be better to beat him to death."
After Zhang Lu finished speaking, he chuckled.
Qi Yang glanced behind him, locked the door, and pushed Zhang Lu to the wall: "Do you think you really screwed Qi Hanyi? She's just a mermaid. Let alone starving her, even if Qi Hanyi killed her, Grandpa wouldn't take it seriously. Any punishment is just a face-saving statement for others to hear."
"On the contrary, you dared to use this matter to embarrass the Qi family, and even dragged it into disrespecting His Majesty. Do you think my grandfather's temper would let you go?"
After hearing what Qi Yang said, Zhang Lujiu was almost awakened by the shock. His face turned from red to white, and his eyes were confused. "My family and the Mo family are old friends. He...they don't dare to do anything to me."
"The Mo family? Do you think the Mo family will help you?" Qi Yang seemed to have heard something funny and sneered a few times: "The Mo family is now focusing on business. They have just obtained the license for "Star Wars" and are preparing to cooperate with the military. You have offended the Qi family now. The Mo family is unlikely to protect you. On the contrary, it is more likely that they will refuse to interact with you. When the time comes, once the Qi and Mo families have expressed their views, who will dare to interact with your family? You will cause the entire Zhang family to be isolated by the aristocratic circle. By then, your Zhang family will be ruined with just a word from my grandfather."
"Then, what should I do?" Zhang Lu was panicked: "I just want to teach Qi Hanyi a lesson, I don't want to offend the entire Qi family. You are scaring me, right? It's not that serious, right? Mr. Qi is the elder, how could he care about such a small matter..."
"Are you expecting mercy from Mr. Qi? Do you know how he became the Minister of Defense?" Qi Yang said dimly, "A general's success is the result of the sacrifices of thousands of men. He may have killed more people than you have eaten."
Zhang Lu's face turned even paler.
Seeing that the man was almost scared enough, Qi Yang continued: "I can think of a way to help you, it depends on whether you have the courage to cooperate with me."
Zhang Lu seemed to have found a life-saving straw: "How can you help me?"
"When Qi Hanyi showed up with the mermaid, the second young master of the Mo family, who you grew up with, showed a lot of interest." Qi Yang smiled grimly, "Tell me, if everyone saw him and Qi Hanyi's mermaid rolling on the same bed, can the cooperation between the Qi and Mo families continue?"
"This...can't be done." Zhang Lu thought for a while and said, after all, nobles all care about face.
Following this plan, Zhang Lu's thoughts gradually became clear.
If they cannot cooperate, the Mo family will not target the Zhang family because of the Qi family's attitude, and he and his family can still rely on the Mo family! The Qi family is afraid of the consequences, so he is safe for the time being.
But, it's only temporary.
What if the Qi family finds out about this, wouldn’t I die an even more miserable death?
Zhang Lu hesitated and shrank back.
"Listen to me, if you do this, no one will suspect you at all..." Qi Yang lowered his voice and explained his plan in detail.
The more Zhang Lu listened, the more he thought this could be done, and his eyes gradually brightened. But he was still a little hesitant: "You are also a member of the Qi family, are you really willing to help me?"
Qi Yang waved his hands: "I have disliked Qi Hanyi for a long time. I am happy when he is unlucky. Let him be cuckolded and make a big fool of himself. I want to see how he will put on that arrogant expression in front of us in the future."
Zhang Lu nodded, as if he had made up his mind, pushed open the toilet door, and strode out.
Qi Yang curled his lips: "You can come out now."
Three men in black appeared in the toilet cubicle. Their movements were silent, as if they were just a bunch of moving shadows.
"Fourth Young Master Qi." The leader called out, but his attitude was not respectful.
"Shadow Team Leader" Qi Yang said politely: "I'll trouble you all with the task of catching the mermaid. There are no other mistakes."
"Don't worry, Fourth Young Master. We can still handle a mermaid." The Shadow Team Leader looked at Qi Yang and said, "But this trick is really useful against Qi Hanyi."
"He has severe mental breakdown. He drove away this mermaid. It won't be easy for him to find another mermaid who can split for him. We will help him then. If we delay it for a while, Qi Hanyi will be dead if he gets sick again." Qi Yang said firmly.
"The eldest prince was right about you." The shadow team leader's tone was a little more admiring: "The eldest prince said that once Qi Hanyi dies, he will definitely make sure you become the heir of the Qi family."
Qi Yang got the promise he wanted, and the smile on his face became much more sincere: "Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here first."
Team leader Shadow gestured to the two people behind him, and the three of them opened the exhaust duct on the roof and left quietly.
Su Su had eaten and drunk his fill, and was chatting with Yan Bai. Yan Bai told him some interesting stories about shipping, and Su Su was listening attentively.
Suddenly, a waiter patted Su Su on the shoulder and whispered, "Miss Yi Qing, General Qi wants you to come over right now. It seems like there's something urgent going on."
"Where is he?" Su Su stood up.
The waiter raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Please follow me."
Su Su didn't suspect anything and followed the waiter to leave, but then he stopped, turned around and waved to Yan Bai: "You are really interesting, let's talk next time."
Yan Bai nodded slightly and let Su Su follow the waiter to leave.
"The waiter's tie is a little crooked. This is not a mistake that a servant of the Mo family should make." Yan Bai picked up the wine glass, shook it, and suddenly chuckled: "It seems that someone can't sit still."
"What about us?" the servant behind him asked in a low voice.
Yan Bai raised his hand and said leisurely: "Wait."
Su Su followed the waiter to the fourth floor of the villa, where there was a long corridor with many rooms on both sides. Su Su followed the waiter to the end of the corridor and saw him push open one of the doors: "General Qi is inside, please come in."
Su Su became hesitant. There was no light in the room, it was already dark, and he couldn't see anything inside. He had a keen nose, but he didn't smell the scent of Qi Hanyi.
He wanted to turn around and ask the waiter if he had taken the wrong route, but suddenly a strong force pushed him into the room from behind.
The door slammed shut behind him. The man behind him followed in and suddenly attacked Su Su.
Su Su reacted quickly, crouching down and dodging the knife that was aimed at his neck.
"Huh?" The attacker made a puzzled sound and then said, "What are you still looking at? Why don't you come and work?"
At this moment, two people suddenly jumped out from the darkness and attacked Su Su from both sides.
Su Su doesn't know how to fight with a human body. He only relies on his keen perception, brute force, and survival instinct to dodge left and right.
The opponent seemed to have some concerns and did not use his full strength, but just wanted to subdue Su Su.
But Su Su refused to give in. He took the opportunity to grab a man's arm and bit it hard.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" With a shrill scream, Su Su tore off a piece of flesh from the opponent's body.
The man got anxious and kicked Su Su hard in the chest: "Damn, this girl is very strong, team leader, we can't hold her down like this."
"Got it. I'll do it." The person who spoke was Team Leader Ying, the one who had just pretended to be a waiter behind Su Su.
As the team leader, his skills were much better than the other two. Although he underestimated the enemy and failed in the first attack, when he started to attack seriously, Su Su was no match for the opponent. The opponent's attack was very tricky, and each attack hit Su Su's joints.
Su Su struggled hard, resisting with the same spirit as when she was fighting for prey in the sea. Her slim dress was soon torn and her neatly tied hair became messy.
But he didn't hold on for long before he was pushed to the ground, his arms and legs were so painful that he couldn't use any strength.
"Where's the medicine? Feed it to him quickly." Team leader Ying ordered while holding Su Su down.
"I'm afraid he will bite me." The subordinate who had just had a piece of flesh bitten off said with lingering fear.
“Don’t waste time…”
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the house, and in a blink of an eye, they had reached the door.
Su Su felt someone prying his jaw open and forcing something into his mouth. Then, the three people holding him down let go of him and jumped out of the window.
The door opened and the lights came on.
"Are you okay?" A caring voice sounded above Su Su's head.
"It should be fine. I just had a fight with them. They caught me and fed me a pill of something. When they heard the footsteps, they all ran away." Su Su raised his head with difficulty to look at the person who came, grinning: "Thanks to you for coming, Yan Bai."
Su Su didn't take the medicine he had just taken seriously. He had a good stomach and it seemed that he had inherited this quality after becoming an adult. Ordinary poisons could not harm him.
Yan Bai looked at Su Su, who was in a state of panic, with a face similar to his own, and smiled heartlessly. He felt uncomfortable, "He is a good fighter, but he couldn't protect himself for a few minutes?"
Su Su blinked: "I just differentiated, and I'm not used to it yet."
He is indeed not used to moving around with a human body. If he were in the sea, using the body of a shark, he would definitely not lose.
"Just differentiated? Can mermaids also differentiate?" Yan Bai seemed to not want to endure it anymore and exposed Su Su's lie.
"What, what kind of mermaid?" Su Su was stunned, speechless, not knowing what was wrong.
"My biological mother's last name is also Su, and she's a very beautiful mermaid." Yan Bai spoke without any context, "When I was little, she told me that she had a very rebellious sister who fell in love with a shark and ran away with it. Later, I heard that she gave birth to a mermaid-bred shark."
Su Su opened his mouth, not daring to confirm.
Isn't Yan Bai a human?
Yan Bai leaned over and pinched Su Su's chin with his index finger and thumb, forcing him to look at her: "I don't have any other brothers or sisters. I think you are the only one who looks so much like me. Right, cousin?"
"I'm not..." Su Su didn't know whether to deny his gender first or admit that he was a mermaid shark. Yan Bai was a good man, but the fact that he was a shark concerned the safety of Yi Qing and the Mermaid Kingdom, so he didn't dare to admit it rashly.
Unexpectedly, Yan Bai leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "Don't be afraid, I won't betray you. Because I am also a mermaid."
This time Su Su was completely shocked.
Yan Bai is also a mermaid? But didn't those people say that he was the young master of the Yan family?
"I used special drugs to differentiate it, and then changed some of its physical characteristics, so you can't see any traces of a mermaid on a normal day." Yan Bai picked up Su Su from the ground.
This room was a guest bedroom. Seeing that Su Su was injured, Yan Bai put him on the bed.
"Oh." Su Su was still in shock knowing that he suddenly had a new relative. He had met his parents and had no other relatives, so suddenly having a cousin was a different feeling.
"Your clothes are torn, you can't go out like this. Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to find you some clothes to change." Yan Bai patted Su Su's shoulder soothingly.
"Oh." Su Su was still in a daze.
Yan Bai strode out the door and raised his left hand. On his index finger, there was also a ring-shaped personal terminal, but it belonged to a human.
Climbing onto the terminal skillfully, Yan Bai tapped the air with his fingertips a few times. A message was quietly sent out from a place that Su Su couldn't see: [The target has been successfully contacted.]
Sender: Mr. Bai.
The author has something to say:
No prize contest, does anyone remember where Mr. Bai appeared?
