Chapter 55: Little Fish Shows Its Might!
The existence of the Little Fish and the fact that Fish lives in the same base are top secrets.
After Yu Yu revealed her identity as a person from the future, the base established a department specifically to operate around her, and produced an extremely detailed analysis report on her account of flying from the planet Cang'ai three hundred years in the future to Earth.
This will allow aerospace experts to deduce the exact coordinates of the planet Cang'ai and the truth behind Earth's explosion.
The Little Fish was being secretly researched on the base's first underground floor, and even Meng Xinyun, who was always by Little Fish's side, was unaware of its existence.
Apart from Yu Yu and the core leadership of the base, no one knows the exact location where the Little Fish is parked.
When Yan Xingli heard that Yu Yu was going to launch the Little Fish, his heart skipped a beat.
"Need not."
He used reason to overcome his impulse, and took a deep breath, saying, "I believe Yan Shanyi will return safely."
Yan Xingli pretended to be relaxed and pinched and ruffled Yu Yu's little pigtails:
"Besides, this is an adult matter, and adults will handle it. Don't worry about it."
Yu Yu puffed out her little chest and said in a smug yet reliable tone, "Uncle, have you forgotten? You're the adult who's protected by little people."
"Don't be so polite with me."
The child held Yan Xingli's hand with his left hand and patted his chubby belly with his right hand, "Hurry up, hurry up, I want to come back and eat rice cakes and fried chicken."
Yan Xingli's tense nerves relaxed unconsciously after being distracted by Yu Yu.
Yu Yu pulled him outside, but Meng Xinyun was completely confused. Where were they going?
Yu Yu led Yan Xingli to Zheng Shoucheng's office with practiced ease. The child swaggered in, calling out in his little voice:
"Grandpa Zheng, I'm leaving now."
"Don't save me dinner tonight."
Zheng Shoucheng's temple throbbed as he greeted the little guy with a friendly smile. He gave Meng Xinyun a wink, and she wisely closed the door and stood guard at the entrance with the guards.
"Fish, are you bored at the base and want to go out for a walk?"
Yu Yu waved her hand: "No, I'm going to pick up my aunt and take her home."
Zheng Shoucheng turned to look at Yan Xingli: "Yu Yu already knows about Xiao Yi's matter?"
Yan Xingli nodded with some self-reproach: "Xiao Hua is a level 10 surfer, I couldn't defend against her."
Zheng Shoucheng did not blame him. Experts had assessed Xiaohua's intelligence level, and apart from a significant gap in emotional intelligence compared to normal humans, she surpassed humans in every other aspect.
It will find out sooner or later that Yan Shanyi has been maliciously detained.
Since China has made a series of achievements in the field of high technology, the West has become increasingly eager to contain and suppress them.
At this sensitive juncture, neither Zheng Shoucheng nor his superiors would agree to the grandfather and grandson flying to Country C to visit Yan Shanyi.
Even if I went, I probably wouldn't have a chance to see Yan Shanyi.
Don't underestimate a child just because they are small; they are not easily fooled and have a stubborn streak that means they will stick to their word.
Seeing that Yu Yu wouldn't listen to any of his advice, Zheng Shoucheng calmly spouted nonsense:
"Flights to Country C have all been closed recently, and since you don't have a passport and visa, you can't take an international flight."
Qi Youyu waved her hands repeatedly, her little expression showing disdain: "Airplanes are too slow, I don't want to fly."
Then, he happily said, "I'll go play Little Fish."
Zheng Shoucheng was immediately startled, and his heart skipped a beat.
Before he could react, the child waved goodbye to him, saying, "Grandpa Zheng, bye-bye."
!
Zheng Shoucheng nearly burst out laughing and hurriedly raised his hand: "Yu Yu Xiao Xing, don't go yet, wait!"
Yu Yu turned around and asked, "Grandpa Zheng, do you want to ride in a spaceship too?"
Director Zheng: "..." I want to think about it.
He rubbed his face vigorously, barely managing to maintain his composure: "Yuyu, things aren't that simple. Sit down first, and Grandpa will explain it to you properly."
Illegally infiltrating another country is extremely risky. If caught, it would likely cause a global uproar. At that point, those countries with ulterior motives would certainly escalate the issue to other levels and put them in a disadvantageous position.
Director Zheng appealed to their emotions and reasoned with them, explaining the possible consequences in a straightforward and simple way to make them easy to understand.
Yu Yu listened attentively. When Director Zheng, his throat dry from speaking, picked up his water glass to drink, she opened her big, round, dark eyes and said:
"Then I'll just hope I don't get caught."
"I'm very good at hide-and-seek, just like how I came to Earth quietly."
Zheng Shoucheng choked on his tea, his face turning red.
I almost forgot about that.
They conducted a thorough investigation afterward and found that radar and satellites did not detect anything unusual on the day the fish came to Earth, let alone issue any warnings.
Fishy's Little Fish is immune to all detection methods on Earth; it is a pure dimensional reduction attack.
The stealth technology of the Little Fish is enough to allow it to move freely around the Earth. If it wants to, it is the most deserving street urchin, and no one can stop it.
Zheng Shoucheng rubbed his temples and cast a hopeful glance at Yan Xingli:
"Xiaoxing, what are your thoughts?"
Yan Xingli stared at the tips of his shoes. He certainly believed in the power of the authorities, but if there was an absolutely safe shortcut in front of him, as a victim's family member and an ordinary person, he couldn't help but be tempted to try it out.
He closed his eyes and said, "Director Zheng, since my sister's accident, the health of my elderly parents has been deteriorating. I'm worried that if this continues, they might not be able to hold on."
Zheng Shoucheng plucked a beard hair.
If he hadn't just received a message yesterday saying that the elderly couple, Yan Yuanqing and his wife, were lifting weights at home, looking energetic and with rosy complexions, he would have truly believed it.
"Alright, I understand what you mean."
This was not a decision Zheng Shoucheng could make on his own; he had to consult his superiors, for fear that the two children might sneak away while he was away.
Director Zheng reminded her meaningfully, "Xiaoxing, your sister is fine. Xiaoyi's sudden disappearance is a pressure tactic by Country C, aimed at throwing your family into chaos so they can profit from it."
Yan Xingli's expression brightened slightly: "Director Zheng, you've contacted my sister?"
"Um."
Upon receiving this inside information, Yan Xingli felt much relieved.
The grandmother and grandson stayed in Director Zheng's office to wait. The office was spacious. Since Yu Yu, the special little scientist, came to the base, Director Zheng had specially set up a play area in the office for the child, which was filled with various educational toys.
Yu Yu pulled Yan Xingli to play the nine-linked rings game.
Yan Xingli wasn't very interested.
Seeing this, Yu Yu held up a little finger and said mysteriously, "Uncle, if you behave well, I'll reward you."
"You'll reward me with fried chicken?"
"Dream on."
"..."
After waiting for about an hour, Director Zheng returned with more than ten special forces personnel in combat uniforms. Yan Xingli understood what was going on as soon as he saw the situation.
“Yu Yu, Xiao Xing, these are the best soldiers in our base,” Zheng Shoucheng said.
If they weren't in a rush, they could have brought in a more formidable special operations team from another base.
“These soldiers have rich combat experience and remain calm in the face of danger. They might be able to help you,” Zheng Shoucheng said. “We’ll feel more at ease if these soldiers accompany you to pick up Xiaoyi from school.”
Yu Yu counted the number of people; there were exactly twelve.
That's exactly the number of people the Little Fish can accommodate.
“Okay.” The child readily agreed and strode out, head held high. “Let’s go now.”
Zheng Shoucheng: "The Little Fish is in operation—"
His next words caught in his throat because the Little Fish suddenly appeared in the open space outside the building, and the subtle fluctuations in the air were almost imperceptible.
Only four words came to mind: elusive and unpredictable.
If he weren't a scientist, an ordinary person would be terrified.
Director Zheng's phone vibrated incessantly in his pocket. He answered the call, listened silently, and calmly continued speaking:
"The Little Fish is here."
"Yes, it appeared suddenly."
"I can't wait."
"Because the Little Fish has taken off."
*
The special operations team, which was suddenly assigned to the mission, was unaware of the specifics of their task beforehand and all assumed it was a simple mission to protect children.
It wasn't until the Little Fish appeared and they entered the spacecraft one by one that they learned from the fish that they had actually entered a time-space spaceship!
After learning of this news that nearly shattered their worldview, the well-trained team members went through an extremely complex emotional journey.
The significance of a time-space spaceship is self-evident.
The team members had no time to observe the situation inside the spacecraft; everyone was focused on keeping an eye on everything around them and listening to everything, ready to deal with any emergencies at any time.
As soon as Yu Yu entered the Little Fish, she felt sleepy. She hadn't eaten dinner, and her stomach was growling with hunger.
Xiao Hua went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of pickled cabbage and beef noodles. Noticing the team members' blank stares, it calmly turned its head:
"Welcome to order."
"Please tell me what you like to eat, and I will serve you a delicious meal within ten minutes."
Team members: oo
Can you cook inside a spaceship?
That's not how it's portrayed in science fiction movies.
The team members did not forget their responsibilities and immediately said that they were not hungry and that it was alright.
Yan Xingli had little appetite, while Yu Yu was the only one in the spaceship who was happily eating beef noodles.
Yan Xingli sat opposite the child with concern: "Is it really okay if there's no one in the cockpit?"
"The Little Fish has an autopilot system."
Such a short journey doesn't require Master Yu Yu to personally take charge.
At Xiaoyuhao's normal speed, they could teleport directly to Country C, but Yuyu deliberately adjusted the speed.
They will arrive in country C in half an hour.
None of those present knew about this.
"Tired?"
"Hmm." Yu Yu opened her mouth wide and yawned, having eaten and drunk her fill, it was time to rest.
"Uncle, can you lull me to sleep?"
True friendship is revealed in times of trouble. Let alone coaxing Yu Yu to sleep, I would be more than willing to offer three sticks of incense and a feast for the child.
Yu Yu snuggled into Yan Xingli's arms and found a comfortable spot: "Uncle, sing."
"good."
Yan Xingli cleared his throat, trying to treat the group of soldiers like cabbages.
Yan Xingli sings everything from children's songs to pop songs. He often forgets the lyrics while singing, and he changes to a different song halfway through. He changes songs faster than he can cut cakes.
The child couldn't take it anymore and forced his eyes open to ask, "Uncle, is your mouth not on a subscription? Why can I only hear half of it?"
Banquet Star Ceremony: ...
*
In a villa halfway up the mountain, under tight surveillance.
Yan Shanyi sat cross-legged on the bed, quickly reviewing the documents sent by his secretary.
Although there was no substantial evidence to prove her guilt, the rogue nature of Country C was too much to bear. No matter how much the outside world protested, they stubbornly refused to release her.
After Yan Shanyi saw the true nature of the matter, she gradually calmed down and treated it as a vacation.
Even while she was stuck here, she maintained a regular routine, getting up early every day to practice a set of Baduanjin exercises before starting to handle company matters.
Four o'clock in the morning.
Yan Shanyi suddenly opened her eyes in her sleep, feeling a sudden tightness in her heart.
Driven by her sixth sense, she silently sat up and pressed the curtain switch.
The heavy curtains slowly moved to both sides, gradually revealing a huge floor-to-ceiling window, outside which floated a pot gleaming with silver light.
?
Little Fish?
Yan Shanyi's pupils trembled. He threw off the covers and got out of bed, taking three steps at a time to the window.
The glass window reflected Yan Shanyi's exceptionally slender figure. Her expression was as calm as ever, but her slightly flustered and hurried footsteps just now betrayed her mood.
The little fish flashed.
Yan Shanyi understood the other side's meaning based on the pattern of the flashing lights.
She paused for a few seconds, then frowned and slowly backed to the doorway—
The next moment, with a loud bang, the French windows were smashed to pieces by the Little Fish, and the howling cold wind made Yan Shanyi feel stiff and cold all over.
The little fish hovered above the bedroom, emitting a soft white light.
The team members inside Xiaoyuhao were stunned. Were they really that reckless?
Their muscles were tense, their eyes resolute, and they were ready to fight the people of Country C.
The hatch slowly opened, and a slide extended from inside. The combat team members were the first to slide down.
Despite carrying equipment, their movements were not clumsy at all; they were light and agile.
Yan Shanyi pulled her cloak tighter around herself, calmly allowing her teammates to protect her in the center.
The special forces captain asked in a deep voice, "Ms. Yan, we are here by the authorities to take you home. Are you injured anywhere?"
Yan Shanyi: "Thank you for your hard work. I'm not injured anywhere. Thank you."
The bright moonlight shone in from outside, making Yan Shanyi's skin appear almost bloodless. She had become noticeably thinner, and her face was pitifully pale.
Holding the fish as he landed, Yan Xingli clenched his fists tightly, suppressing a surge of anger within him. He thought to himself, emboldened by the fish:
Once his fish boss builds a super battleship and mechs, he'll blast those bastards to smithereens with one shot.
Yan Xingli gritted his teeth, while Yan Shanyi silently bit her tongue. The hallucination hadn't disappeared; it wasn't a dream.
Yan Shanyi didn't foolishly wonder why Yan Xingli and Yuyu, who were on the other side of the world, would appear.
There is no doubt that she is hallucinating due to mental instability.
Yan Xingli asked anxiously, "Yan Shanyi, what are you spacing out for? Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Minghui Group is not some shady company, and Yan Shanyi is one of the world's most well-known entrepreneurs. Her international influence and her home country ensured that she did not suffer any physical harm.
But Yan Xingli was still very worried.
"Why are you here?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm here to rescue you, otherwise I'd be just taking a stroll."
Yan Shanyi: "There are surveillance cameras everywhere here. Aren't you afraid of triggering the alarm?"
Yan Xingli's tone was incredibly arrogant: "You say that? With all that commotion just now, did you see anyone come in? Don't you even know whose car the Little Fish is?"
“Auntie.” Sitting in her uncle’s lap, Yu Yu waved her little fist. “Bad people bullied you, didn’t they? I’ll get revenge for you.”
"Kick the bad guys out of outer space and make them starve every day!"
