His voice carried an imposing authority even without anger.
The little fish immediately let go of Jinle and swam away.
Before he could explain, Qin Ye had already climbed the steps, grabbed him by the armpit, lifted the fish up, held it in his arms, and carried it away.
Jin Le looked at the scene before him.
It didn't move.
His intuition told him that Nan Yu's keeper wouldn't harm him.
Qin Ye bullied the fish in the rest area, even threatening to lock him up. The little fish said, "If you lock me up, can I have a few more pies?"
Qin Ye chuckled in exasperation, then asked a childish question: "If I and Egg Yolk Pie fell into the water, who would you save first?"
Little Mermaid: "You can swim, I'll save Pi."
Qin Ye glared at him: "If I can't, who will you save?"
Little Mermaid: "Save Pi."
Qin Ye had guessed it, but he was still very angry, feeling that he had simply brought shame upon himself. He pinched Xiaoyu's chin, his eyes darkening slightly, and asked:
Why didn't you save me?
Little Mermaid: "Pie won't taste good if it falls into the water, and you won't die immediately if you fall into the water. I'll eat them all first, then I'll come and save you. I eat fast, so you won't drown."
Qin Ye pressed his tongue against his teeth, laughing in exasperation, and nodded.
Okay, okay, okay.
They bullied the little fish relentlessly until it cried.
Finally, they had someone bring over a fish tank and installed it in the rest room so that Nan Yu wouldn't have to go back. Qin Ye was very busy and would have to leave eventually, so the little fish went back on its own.
Jin Le frowned slightly as he looked at the silver-tailed mermaid rolling on the ground.
It shuffled up the steps, but when it touched the water, it immediately became agile, wagging its tail and swimming alongside Jinle. "Sorry, my keeper is a bit domineering, but don't worry, he just carried me to eat pie."
Actually, he doesn't need to explain; the more he explains, the more suspicious it seems.
Jinle wouldn't think of the spots and marks on the little fish.
I just felt that his zookeeper seemed to treat him very well.
I never expected them to mistreat fish.
Humans really are the worst species!
As Jin Le thought about it, intense hatred flashed in his eyes once again.
"Bai Feng, do you recognize him? He's the tall, thin guy with glasses, the new guy. Wait a minute, I'll check the security footage."
Little Fish left again to get the tablet.
Qin Ye forgot to lock the door. In addition to the iris fingerprint recognition, there was also an emergency button in the dark. Xiao Yu pressed it and came back to the ocean cabin to bring up the surveillance footage. There wasn't much he could see.
Bai Feng's figure happened to be in the corridor scene.
He held up the tablet for Jinle to see.
Jin Lecai then realized it was the human who had been staring at him.
The little mermaid said, "He will help us. When we get back, we must find the sea pearl. It seems to be in the North Sea. I can use the sea pearl to make humans lose their memories of mermaids, so they won't capture them anymore. Even if they see one in the future, they'll just sleep it off and think it's a dream. That way, everyone will be safe."
Hearing that it could return to the ocean and even make humans lose their memories of mermaids, Jin Le's eyes widened, and he excitedly grabbed the little mermaid's shoulders.
"Really? What should I do?"
My shoulder hurt a little from being gripped so tightly, so I shifted and tried to back away, saying:
"We don't need to do much. As long as we go back to the sea, find the sea pearl, and give it to me, I have a way to erase human memories, and then we'll be safe."
Jin Le: "I know the sea pearl is in Tal's hands."
Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, the little mermaid asked, "Who is Tal?"
Jin Le: "Chief of the northern tribes, I can help you get the sea pearl, but can you guarantee that humans will no longer use us for research?"
Sea pearls are treasured heirlooms passed down by the leaders of northern tribes.
It is also a symbol of the leader's status.
It is very important.
"I promise."
Recently, a large number of mermaids have been captured. The total number of mermaids is not large. If this continues, the entire race will be wiped out. Jinle has no choice. On land, they are no match for humans.
The hope of revenge is slim.
If it can make humans forget about mermaids and stop fishing for them, then it would be worthwhile.
"good."
Jinle understood, and Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Now we're just waiting for the male lead.
The pearls that had been shed during her tears were still at the bottom of the water. The little mermaid scooped them up, gave them to Jinle, and said, "Eat them."
Mermaid pearls are medicine, and the tears of little mermaids are the best healing medicine for their kind.
Whether you're injured or not, eating this will enhance your strength.
At least during the experiment.
Their resistance has increased.
Qin Ye returned from work.
The little fish went back to the fish tank.
Bai Feng took a day off and returned to continue his experiments, selecting mermaids, but he didn't see Jin Le, so he asked the staff inside.
Where did that golden-tailed mermaid go?
I felt panicked when I asked the question, fearing that the mermaid had been taken away for experimental dissection without my knowledge.
The staff member glanced at the number and said:
"Qin is leaving, saying he'll be back in a week."
Bai Feng frowned, his tone rather urgent: "Director Qin? Didn't he say he wasn't participating in the research anymore? Why does he still need the mermaid?"
The staff here are just cleaning, holding rags and wiping up water jets, and when asked, they replied, "I don't know."
Bai Feng was anxious, worried that Qin Ye might harm Jin Le, and hurriedly ran to Qin Ye's office. Zhou Wen heard the noise and came out from another office. Seeing that it was a new colleague, he went over and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Bai Feng: "I heard that Qin took that golden tail with him. Is he going to do some kind of experiment with it?"
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said "Oh," as if he remembered something, "No, it's that talking silver fish. Qin said it would only stay for a week and not be used for experiments."
Bai Feng knew the little mermaid, but didn't understand why he wanted Jin Le, so he continued to ask:
Why not choose other mermaids?
Zhou Wen: "How was I supposed to know you had something to do?"
Bai Feng choked for a moment, then made an excuse: "The mermaids aren't in good condition today. I wanted to choose the golden-tailed one, but I couldn't find it. I asked my colleagues over there, and they said it was with Director Qin. I wanted to come and take a look."
Zhou Wen nodded: "Let's look at something else."
Bai Feng glanced at the mechanical door: "Isn't Director Qin here?"
Zhou Wen: "He went to a meeting."
Bai Feng: "When can you come back?"
Zhou Wen narrowed his eyes: "Meetings can be long or short. Is something wrong? If it's urgent, tell me and I'll help you get in touch."
Bai Feng smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing. I just noticed that all the mermaids looked sickly, so I wanted to choose one with a strong tail so that the medicine would be more effective."
Zhou Wen: "Qin is not here for the time being. Why don't you go and check on Engineer Zhou and learn from him carefully?"
Bai Feng nodded.
When he went to find Zhou Xiaohai, the man didn't give him a friendly look.
Bai Feng watched from the side the whole time.
Until Qin Ye returned.
He went to confirm, but it turned out to be just another mermaid being used as a cover.
I only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Jin Lezhen was alright.
He became more and more serious about learning and picked it up quickly. Compared to mechanical drug injections, he paid more attention to the merman's psychology. However, having been hurt, rebuilding trust would take a long time.
Two years later.
Bai Feng not only achieved remarkable results in experiments, but was also exceptional in interpersonal relationships, successfully infiltrating the institute and becoming its deputy director.
