The information provided by Mrs. Molly was quickly relayed to the police who came to investigate.
Although Mrs. Molly's account of the incident was quite cryptic, the police interpreted it simply as a murder suspect!
Sea monsters and all that are just myths and legends! If we were to explain this matter as the work of sea monsters and then make it public, the police would probably be overwhelmed by a barrage of questions and accusations in the next second.
Since this matter has escalated from an accident to a criminal case, all the guests present at the time naturally became suspects in the case. As a result, including Song Mengmeng and Yan Di, they all had to face questioning from the relevant departments.
However, because Song Mengmeng and her group were located on the other side of an island opposite the area where the incident occurred, they were, in a sense, among those who could be directly ruled out as suspects.
So after a brief inquiry, Yan Di decisively left with Song Mengmeng.
"That siren seems to be active in that area of the sea." On the way home, Song Mengmeng, who was looking at the night view outside the car window, turned her head to look at Yan Di, who was sitting next to her and reviewing documents, with a strong sense of eagerness in her eyes.
However, Emperor Yan remained calm, as if he was completely oblivious to Song Mengmeng's excitement. He calmly turned the page of the document on his lap and said in a deep voice, "Sit still, be careful not to fall!"
"Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan, are we really not going back to take a look?" Song Mengmeng was a little disappointed that Emperor Yan hadn't gotten her hints at all. She sat back down in her chair, and then, coming back to her senses, tugged at Emperor Yan's arm and murmured in a slightly coquettish tone, "That sea monster looks so powerful!"
"You know she's powerful, yet you still go and provoke her?" Emperor Yan sighed. Although he looked like he was being harassed, the doting and indulgent look in his eyes revealed how much he was actually enjoying himself.
Emperor Yan did not object to Song Mengmeng hunting prey, but for her safety, he had to distinguish some prey that were currently beyond her capabilities, such as this sea monster that was clearly not weak.
"But I can only hide like this, it feels so stifling!" Song Mengmeng sighed in frustration, looking aggrieved.
Of course she understood the principle that one must eat one bite at a time and do one thing at a time! But when faced with such a provocation, she could only choose to avoid the fight, which was far too shameful for them, the Pixiu!
"She will be your opponent sooner or later! Mengmeng, you need to know that bravery is not the same as reckless courage; temporarily avoiding her sharp edge is not cowardice or incompetence, but merely a means to secure ultimate victory!"
Emperor Yan's voice was gentle, offering the little girl the most straightforward and timely comfort. He understood, of course, how frustrating it was to be provoked and unable to retaliate, but there was nothing he could do; this was a setback the little girl had to experience and face as she grew up.
"But when will I be able to become as amazing as you?" Song Mengmeng looked up, her bright black eyes shining with undisguised admiration.
The little one doesn't have the complicated thoughts that humans have. Her likes and dislikes are always straightforward and passionate! No pretense, just decisive and straightforward!
"It will be soon." Yan Di met the little girl's burning and bright eyes, and couldn't help but press his fist to his lips and chuckle softly again.
Song Mengmeng did not question Yan Di's statement. She counted on her fingers and felt the divine beast power that had been gradually growing in her recent period. It seemed that she would be able to advance to the next level soon!
The little girl shifted her position, reached out and took Yan Di's arm, and naturally rested her head on his strong shoulder: "Then wait for me!"
When I become stronger, I will protect you just like you protect and take care of me now!
"Okay." Emperor Yan easily sensed Song Mengmeng's feelings. His originally cold and hard heart softened imperceptibly. He reached out and patted the girl's head, readily agreeing.
Song Mengmeng leaned against Yan Di for a while, then heard Yan Di suddenly speak in a very calm voice: "Do you still remember that you wanted to avenge that evil spirit lady?!"
"I remember!" Song Mengmeng nodded, propped herself up, and turned to look at Yan Di: "Could it be that our plan is almost complete, and it's time to close the net?!"
"Do you remember the question you asked me a few days ago when we first discovered that siren?" Yan Di raised his hand and stroked the little guy's head like he was petting a kitten, while Song Mengmeng instantly nestled into Yan Di's lap, enjoying the pleasure of being stroked...
If she were in her original form right now, she'd probably be purring comfortably...
"Mmm~" the little girl squinted and responded in a soft, sweet voice.
"The reason that island hasn't been developed is because, currently, the island belongs to the Guan family!" Emperor Yan slowly explained the background to the little girl: "Three days later, the Guan family will hold an engagement banquet for their third young master and the fourth young lady of the Song family."
This banquet was held on the "Princess Guren," a cruise ship that the Guan family had only recently begun operating. I checked the route; the cruise ship would be passing through the same sea area where we had previously encountered the siren.
Upon hearing this, Song Mengmeng immediately perked up. She sat up abruptly, grabbed Yan Di's collar, and asked expectantly, "Really? Really?!"
Does that mean we still have a chance to confront that Siren?!
"Perhaps it's possible!" As Yan Di spoke, the car had already stopped at its destination.
The Guan family's main branch has maintained a relatively stable development in recent years, but compared to top-tier wealthy families like the Yan family, which have accumulated wealth and experience over generations, there is still a significant gap between them.
The biggest problem here is the follow-up troubles caused by the previous situation where one person's success led to the rise of their entire family and relatives!
It is said that even a large tree has withered branches. The Guan family, a newly rich family that has only developed in the last ten years thanks to a certain favorable wind, has many branches that depend on the main family. These branches have more or less some petty problems such as the rise of petty people and the sudden wealth of the poor.
However, the current head of the Guan family clearly has not realized the seriousness of this problem. Instead of properly supervising those collateral branches that obviously bring adverse effects to the main family, he has also been quite indulgent towards them!
This has led to the Guan family, which appears to be thriving now, actually being at risk of collapsing from a small leak.
Precisely because their economic endeavors have been repeatedly thwarted in the past two years, the Guan family urgently needs assistance to improve their situation. Therefore, this marriage alliance with the prestigious Song family of City A is of paramount importance!
