Dead fish floated in the fishpond, and the water had turned dark red.
The fish tore at each other, leaving only a pool of blood.
The chubby girl stood there, stunned and speechless.
She had never seen a fish like that before; it was so ferocious, as if it could tear anything apart.
Lin Ziyan remained indifferent, picked up the medicine box next to her, put on gloves, and prepared to collect water from the pool for testing.
Fortunately, Professor Shen's research team's laboratory was located in the village; otherwise, the samples would have had to be sent to the city for testing.
Xu Ling was stunned for a long time before she murmured, "Ayun's father is back. He came to the shrimp farm to look for me a week ago..."
She covered her face, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Professor Shen also put on gloves, his pupils trembling slightly, wondering what kind of drug could cause a fish to mutate like this?
If they were released into reservoirs or rivers to breed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Sister Xu, you should go back first. We'll talk about it when the final results come out."
"I'll temporarily take over the shrimp farm," Lin Ziyan said calmly.
She had only seen fish like this before while watching videos, but the ones in the videos were already grown up.
It's unbelievable that such a small fish could grow such sharp teeth.
Xu Lingru left as if she had lost her soul.
The chubby girl watched her departing figure with complicated emotions, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
"The yellow croakers you bred were switched?" Professor Shen said calmly.
The two collected several test tubes of blood, looked at the pool, and fell into deep thought.
The chubby girl covered her mouth and nose, trying her best to stop herself from vomiting.
The croaking of frogs and the chirping of cicadas blended together, making this hot afternoon unbearably irritating.
“They switched the yellow croakers, but they still can’t raise them,” Lin Ziyan said slowly.
Farming yellow croaker is not something that can be done simply by having fish fry.
In my past life, many senior students had their graduation theses blocked by professors because they couldn't raise yellow croakers properly.
Professor Shen looked at Lin Ziyan and thought to himself, "That's why I think the girl in front of me is a breeding genius."
He was shocked after reading the paper on yellow croaker farming.
He kept recording the growth of the yellow croaker, but overlooked many details of its aquaculture.
If they were raised in a laboratory, he probably wouldn't have kept such detailed records.
"Professor Shen, I need to use your laboratory for a moment." Lin Ziyan picked up her medicine box.
All the medicine inside has been removed; now only blood samples and fish bones remain.
Professor Shen's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded.
"Can you come along?" he turned to the chubby girl and asked worriedly.
The chubby girl is pregnant, so it's not appropriate for her to go into the lab.
"Don't go. We're not sure if there's a virus yet," Lin Ziyan said, frowning.
Professor Shen quickly replied, "That's right, safety is the most important thing. We can come into the lab again when we have the chance."
…
evening.
Inside the government canteen in Fukushima.
The chef prepared a large feast to welcome the investigation team.
Ministers from departments such as the Urban Planning Department, the Foreign Investment Department, and the Land Management Department all arrived.
At the dinner table, Minister He kept pouring wine for Lu Qiuying, and while keeping a close eye on her, he blurted out all his praise.
"Minister Lu, the younger generation is pushing the older generation forward, and we old folks are about to be eliminated by the times."
"I checked everything today, but I just couldn't find anything."
Lu Qiuying picked up her wine glass, lowered it slightly, and smiled faintly.
"Minister He, welcome to supervise our work."
"With supervision from above, we will always be on high alert, follow the instructions from above, and never go down the path of making mistakes."
Vice Minister Luo of the Ministry of Foreign Trade broke out in a cold sweat and quickly got up to join in the toast.
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes. This Minister He is a member of the Chen family. Would he be so easy to deal with?
Today's surprise inspection, followed by a hasty dinner gathering, suggests a strategy of polite persuasion before taking drastic measures.
Lu Qiuying could see it, of course, and only gave Xiao Jin a reassuring look.
"Is this Minister Wang from the Land Management Department?" Minister He asked, pouring wine while glancing in one direction.
He smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Yes, Minister He, I'd like to propose a toast to you." Minister Wang stood up abruptly and quickly poured a full glass of wine.
The other members of the investigation team were only focused on eating their food and did nothing else.
Lu Qiuying bypassed several people and circled around to the female clerk next to Xiao Jin, her eyes flashing.
Are the clerks at the city planning department so considerate that they personally help peel shrimp?
Xiao Jin had several shrimp in her bowl.
However, Xiao Jin didn't even look at it, nor did she touch her chopsticks.
Everyone's attention is now focused on Minister He, and no one has noticed the clerk's thoughtful gesture.
"Minister Wang, a reporter from the morning paper visited the Haixian Land Management Office today, and your service... was truly excellent..."
Minister He retorted sarcastically, without clinking glasses with him.
Minister Wang's forehead instantly broke out in a fine sheen of sweat, and a large bead of sweat soon slid down his temple. He hurriedly explained,
"It's understandable that the staff below are not familiar with the business since the policy has just been issued."
He thought they were talking about the land approval for the card factory, and his legs trembled.
"Smack!"
Minister He slammed his wine glass on the table. "Business?"
“I think you’re not trying to serve the people, but rather putting on airs.”
The people at the table exchanged glances and chose to remain silent and observe.
Minister Wang gave a lengthy explanation, but he didn't quite grasp Minister He's meaning.
Lu Qiuying lowered her head and ate her food, thinking to herself that Minister He was scolding the land management department for tarnishing the government's reputation, not for being incompetent.
She scoffed inwardly, not expecting that this Minister He was quite good at grasping the key points.
Secretary Teng just told her that Director He led an investigation team to Hairun Electrical Appliance City today.
They're obviously here for her; everyone knows she's acquainted with the owner of Hairun Electric Appliances.
