Chapter 406 Mermaid Breeding Rules 8

Mingnan slowed down, blinked, opened the terminal, and suddenly realized that it was already half past ten in the evening.

No wonder she was in low spirits.

This cultivation room has no windows and relies entirely on lighting. If you don't pay attention, you really can't tell the difference between day and night.

She didn't feel anything very obviously when she first started, but now she felt very sleepy all of a sudden.

She couldn't help yawning and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

The clear tears reflected the light and instantly attracted Xingshuang's attention.

He swam silently closer and stared at the tears rolling down.

"It's late, do you want to go to bed?" Mingnan noticed his gaze and gave him an inquiring look.

Xing Shuang also blinked.

Mingnan: “…”

She thought for a moment, put her hands together on the side of her face, and leaned her head on them, making a sleeping posture. "Do you want to sleep?"

Xingshuang: "Bo."

Hesitantly, he imitated Mingnan's movements and put his hands on his face.

Mingnan: “…”

Forget it, just pretend she didn’t ask.

"I'm going back to bed. You stay here and I'll come see you tomorrow."

Mingnan yawned again as she spoke. She quickly tidied up the things on the table, turned off the light, turned around and left, locking the door of the breeding room to prevent anyone with ill intentions from harming her fish while she was away.

Xingshuang watched her leave and didn't look away until the door closed.

He surfaced quietly, stroked the wrist that Mingnan had touched before, and murmured harshly: "Ming...Ming...Nannan..."

The surviving fish in the fish tank seemed to be bewitched by this sentence and swam towards him one after another, circling around him.

Xing Shuang laughed softly, and her dark red eyes lit up for a moment. Then she spoke more fluently, but with a rising tone at the end, making her voice sound as beautiful as singing, "Ming Nan."

If Mingnan were here, he would probably be moved to tears upon hearing these words.

The effect is similar to a mother hearing her child, who has just learned to speak, calling her mother.

Unfortunately, Mingnan has already left.

The tip of the starfish's red tail gently slapped the water, creating ripples.

He closed his eyes, felt quietly, and soon caught the trajectory of Pearl's movement.

His pearl went upstairs, a different direction from where she had gone before.

It was obvious that the place where her aura was strongest was at the end of this floor.

So what was she doing upstairs?

Xingshuang opened her eyes, frowned, and blew a bubble unhappily.

fraud.

…

Mingnan didn't know that her little mermaid was angry because she lied.

She did not go back to sleep, but took the direct elevator to the 89th floor.

The research institute building has a total of 90 floors.

The top floor is the office of the current director of the institute, while the 89th floor is that of the second founder, Ze Lai.

The current director, Cosier, and Zelai seem to be getting along well, but in fact, there have been conflicts between them for a long time.

Therefore, the institute was divided into different factions.

One group followed Cosier and focused on drug research and development.

One group followed Ze Lai and focused on human experiments.

There is also a group that remains neutral, focusing only on their own research and not participating in the fight between the two sides.

But despite their different factions, it seems that Cosier is better than Zelai.

In fact, there are no good people in the research institute. Each one is more indifferent and cruel than the other. Otherwise, how can they secure their positions?

"bite--"

The elevator showed that we had reached the 89th floor.

The metal door slowly opened to the sides.

Mingnan gathered his thoughts and walked solemnly through the glass greenhouse surrounded by dense green plants. He stopped in front of the office door and pressed the bell.

Her face immediately appeared on the electronic screen, with a flashing ball of light underneath, meaning that it was waiting for the person inside to answer the call.

Three seconds later, the screen flashed and turned into Ze Lai's face.

He sat behind his desk, still wearing the frameless glasses.

Her green eyes looked much more harmless behind the lenses.

"Mingnan, what's the matter?"

Mingnan said calmly, "I came to apologize for my irrational behavior today. By the way, I want to talk to you about mermaids."

Ze Lai narrowed his eyes and did not agree immediately.

Mingnan casually raised his hand and tucked his hair behind his ears.

A slightly larger pearl bracelet hung on her slender wrist.

It was clearly not the case when I saw her before.

Ze Lai's mind was racing, but his expression showed nothing.

He curled his lips and said, "Okay, then come in."

The screen flashed and turned blue. A cold electronic voice said, "Unlocked successfully. The door is open. Please come in."

The heavy metal door slowly opened, Mingnan raised his eyes and met Ze Lai's leisurely gaze.

She stepped in and the door closed immediately.

Ze Lai did not let her sit down, and asked directly: "Why did you have a conflict with the research team in the afternoon?"

Mingnan stood at a suitable distance, with his hands in the pockets of his white coat, standing straight.

"They came to draw blood from the mermaid without informing me in advance. Instead, they broke into the breeding room while I was away. You should know how important the breeding room is. Breaking in without permission is already very rude."

"Secondly, they resorted to violence against the mermaids without even asking for my opinion. If I hadn't discovered it in time and stopped them, I don't know how the situation would have developed.

Mermaids are aggressive and vindictive, as you know. If there is a conflict between the two sides, no matter which side suffers casualties, it will be the loss of the institute."

"Third, they bossed me around and were very disdainful of me."

Mingnan held up his badge and said, "According to the institute's hierarchy system, researchers of the same level in the training group and the research group have the same status and treatment. They are senior researchers, and I am a senior trainer. Who gave them the nerve to treat me like this?"

Ze Lai raised his eyebrows quickly, leaned back in his chair and nodded, "According to what you said, you are indeed right, but..."

He paused.

Mingnan immediately asked, "But what?"

Ze Lai sighed, "But the research group is now directly under the management of Director Cosier, and no one else has the right to interfere."

"But the director can't just ignore the rules without knowing right or wrong, right? Then the rules would become a joke, wouldn't they?"

Mingnan became angrier and angrier as he spoke.

Ze Lai lowered his head to drink water, using the cup to hide the smile on his lips.

"Ahem - calm down for a moment."

He put down the cup and said gently, "It's not that the director doesn't care, he's just too busy and can't always keep an eye on the situation. But don't worry, I'm the one who gave the mermaid to you to raise. If you have any problems, just come to me. They were indeed wrong in what happened today."

"How about this? Just as you said, I'll let you draw blood from the mermaids from now on. After you're done, let them take the blood away, and don't let them enter the breeding room casually. Is that ok with you?"

Mingnan immediately showed a delighted expression, took his hand out of his pocket, and said gratefully, "Thank you."

"I have something else I would like to ask for your approval."

Ze Lai's eyes flickered. "What?"
