The two sat down on a bench under a streetlamp...
Ye Junhan said, "Qiqi, I'm sorry..."
Yunqi asked, "Why should I apologize?"
Ye Junhan hesitated: "Qiqi, I want to tell you something."
"Go ahead and tell me."
"Your mother was arrested by people sent by my grandfather... I only found out later."
"What?!" Yunqi exclaimed in shock. "Is my mother alright?! Take me to see my mother!"
"Qiqi, calm down! Your mother was too badly injured and has passed away."
"Mom...is dead...?"
"……Um."
Yunqi's tears fell in large drops, turning into pearls...
Ye Junhan quickly wiped away her tears: "Qiqi, don't cry. We're outside, it's dangerous. Let's stop crying, okay? I have something to tell you."
Yunqi stopped crying and calmed herself down...
Ye Junhan picked up the pearl and handed it to Yun Qi.
Yunqi took the pearl and put it away: "I'm not crying anymore... What's wrong? Tell me."
“My grandfather built a mermaid laboratory to conduct mermaid research. Now that my grandfather has passed away, the laboratory has also closed down… Back then, when my grandfather discovered your mother’s identity, he sent people to capture her. Your father was killed while protecting your mother, and your mother was seriously injured. She died not long after being captured…”
"Then where is my mother's body?"
"...Still in the lab."
"take me!"
"It's too late now...we..."
"Take me there right now!!"
"……good."
Seeing Yunqi's determination, Ye Junhan had no choice but to take her to the laboratory.
The laboratory was quiet, except for a mermaid lying silently with her eyes closed inside a glass jar containing formalin...
"Mom!" At this moment, Yunqi couldn't stop her tears...
Ye Junhan pressed a few buttons on the control panel, and the formalin was quickly emptied, opening the glass jar...
The mermaid lost her footing and fell over...
"Mom!" Yunqi grabbed her mother and tried to spit out the pearl to return it to her mother, but she couldn't spit it out no matter what she did!
Xiao Qi! What's going on?! Didn't they say the mermaid pearl could bring the dead back to life?! Why can't I vomit it up?!
Xiao Qi said: It's no use. This is her mermaid pearl. Giving it to you is equivalent to giving it away. Giving her another mermaid pearl now is useless.
To put it simply: you were the one who gave up the mermaid pearl back then, and now you want it back? Dream on!
The pearl is ineffective for those who give up.
Yunqi wiped away her tears: "Ye Junhan, I want to take Mom back to the sea."
“…Okay.” Ye Junhan nodded.
Yunqi stored her mother's body in her spatial storage.
Ye Junhan stared in astonishment as the mermaid corpse vanished before him: "This...?"
Yunqi explained, "This is my own storage space."
"..." Ye Junhan nodded.
Having seen mermaids, it's not surprising that they have storage space.
Yun Qi looked around, then turned to Ye Junhan: "Ye Junhan, can you give up mermaid research and shut down this mermaid lab?"
"Qiqi, don't you hate me?"
Why should I hate you?
“It’s our Ye family that ruined your parents. You could have had a happy family…”
“It’s your grandfather’s fault, it has nothing to do with you. I don’t hate you, and I know you don’t want to conduct mermaid research either…” Yun Qi looked at Ye Junhan expectantly, “Ye Junhan, can you shut down this mermaid lab? Why can’t humans and mermaids coexist peacefully?”
"...Okay! I promise you! I'll shut down this mermaid lab."
"Thank you! May I destroy this lab now?"
"How to destroy it?"
"Destroy all the instruments and equipment here, and destroy all the data."
"good!"
Xiaoqi! Please help destroy all the data here! Especially the data that the researchers kept privately!
Xiaoqi: Okay! No problem!
Ye Junhan accompanied Yun Qi as they threw all the paper documents into the shredder...
Move Ye Junhan to a safe place.
Yunqi opened her mouth and emitted a subsonic wave that shattered all the instruments and equipment. The instruments sparked and ignited the papers next to her...
Ye Junhan immediately turned off the power in the laboratory.
The fire grew larger and larger, triggering the overhead fire suppression system. Water poured down from the ceiling, and all the equipment was completely destroyed...
The two cleaned up the traces of their arrival, picked up the pearl, and after confirming that no traces had been left, they walked out of the laboratory hand in hand.
Ye Junhan was somewhat relieved that he had turned off all the surveillance cameras before bringing Yun Qi into the laboratory, otherwise this would have been really hard to explain.
Ye Junhan and Yun Qi made a pact that Ye Junhan hadn't gone to the lab today; this was a "secret" between them. This had to remain a secret! No one could be told!!
Yunqi also secretly asked Xiaoqi to remove all the surveillance footage along the route the two took to the laboratory.
The two returned to their apartment complex.
Yun Qi said solemnly, "Ye Junhan, thank you!!"
Ye Junhan shook his head: "I should apologize to you on behalf of the Ye family..."
Yun Qi shook her head and gave Ye Junhan a sincere smile: "It has nothing to do with you. You've done what you could!... Ye Junhan, thank you!"
"Will we still be friends?"
“Mm!” Yun Qi smiled at Ye Junhan.
"Thank you!" Ye Junhan smiled as well.
Yunqi looked at Ye Junhan and said, "When you have time, come with me to send my mother back to the sea."
"good."
As the two reached their doorstep, Yunqi said goodbye to Ye Junhan: "Ye Junhan, thank you!"
