 There was a huge sound of "bang" when a heavy object fell to the ground. Everyone turned around when they heard the sound, and saw two bloody figures suddenly appearing in front of everyone.

"Ah—" After a short scream, someone hurriedly said, "Someone fell from downstairs, call for rescue !"

On the other side, I found the dummy mermaid that was kicked off by Jiang Yanlan, "There is another one here, and he is not breathing!"

"Oh my God, there is a mermaid!" When he opened his mouth to speak, someone said, "He looks a little familiar... Ah, it's the wild natural mermaid that appeared in the news a few days ago!"

"Then the other one, can't it be Major General Pei?"

"—— It's him!"

Pei Shaocheng's appearance was much more miserable than Jiang Yanlan's, his whole body was covered in blood, and he had fallen into a coma at this moment.

Soon some enthusiastic people sent them to the nearest hospital, and at the same time, the major media in the empire also reported the matter, and there were all kinds of guesses for a while. The most unlucky one is Queen Willette. He was interviewed some time ago and made some specious remarks. Within a few days, Major General Pei and the natural mermaid had an accident. It is no wonder that netizens began to associate in a dark direction.

Because of this innocent disaster, Villette lost her temper in the palace for a while, and even smashed her bedroom.

"Father, should we go to the hospital to see him?" Cesar asked awkwardly.

I heard that Pei Shaocheng was seriously injured this time, and all the media are watching. If they don't show their faces, the people of the empire don't know how to arrange them!

Villette said with a look of surprise, "Go yourself, anyway, I won't go. I have already severed ties with him, and I can't go back on my promise!" So

what if the media and the people of the empire stared at him, he couldn't face himself . Unless Pei Shaocheng takes the initiative to come back and kneel down to apologize to him, he will never forgive him!

"Then, forget it, I'm not going either." Cesar actually seemed to watch too much discussion on Xingwang, and people around him suggested him to take a look, so he came back to ask his parents for their opinions. Since both parents are unwilling to go, then he should not show up at all.

After what happened last time, Cesar really didn't want to see his half-brother. As long as he thought that Meredith bypassed him and chose Pei Shaocheng, he felt uncomfortable.

He hadn't seen Meredith for several days. On the one hand, he didn't know how to face him; They got very close...

Cesar was thinking about the relationship between Meredith and Ming Kun, but the two were actually meeting in the private reception room of the Mermaid base right now.

Meredith was very unhappy, lowered his voice and asked impatiently, "How did your people do things? Why didn't the things get back, and the matter is still making such a big fuss!" What

he really wanted to ask was why Hicks wasn't dead yet, But he only hinted that Ming Kun told Hicks to shut up, and some things were hard to ask.

As a shrewd businessman, Ming Kun actually didn't mind that Meredith had two faces, why didn't he himself. As for the theft of the Mermaid St. Melville's Pearl, he and Meredith also had a tacit understanding. Meredith didn't explain, and he didn't ask much.

He and Meredith are actually the same kind of people. Meredith is selfish and he values ​​money. He needs to use the identity of Meredith to step into the uppermost realm of the empire, and even the natural mermaid can bring him more powerful offspring. In exchange, he solves Meredith's troubles and provides him with a good life.

It doesn't mean that Kun doesn't like Meredith, who doesn't like a beautiful natural mermaid. It's just that the more he sees, the less he's obsessed with Meredith.

Especially as it is now, Meredith can't hide her true colors at all.

But Ming Kun couldn't argue with him, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. It was the vice-captain of the Raging Flame Mercenary Team who shot Hicks. With his strength, it stands to reason that he should be foolproof..."

Mei Ruidis interrupted him, "I told you a long time ago that Hicks is not an ordinary mermaid! And that Pei Shaocheng, can't you find a few more people and lure him away first?"

Ming Kun smiled wryly, "Yinhe The restaurant is the property of the Duke of Leighton, it would be nice to be able to get in with anyone, how could it be possible to make a big splash."

Meredith was a little embarrassed when he heard that, the Duke of Leighton was originally one of his suitors, but because Hicks disrupted the situation, Layton The Duke of Ton had quit chasing him a long time ago, even ignoring his initiative to send a message.

"But don't worry, except for the dead deputy captain, I have already sent away the rest of the flame mercenary team. Even if the Imperial City Police Station finds something, there will be no proof."

Meredith hesitated to speak, he actually wanted to Why don't you just kill people and silence them. It's a pity that Mingkun is a businessman after all. Although he also has some black industries, he is always too conservative and can't do the ruthless ones.

He thought for a while, then changed his words, "Just send it away, be careful, don't let anyone catch you."

Ming Kun smiled, "Don't worry, they won't find me. By the way, Mei Ray, what we agreed before..."

He looked at Meredith expectantly, they had an appointment, he helped Meredith, and Meredith agreed to accept him as his protector.

Although things have gone wrong now, he also took the risk, didn't he?

Meredith frowned and bit her lips, and said in embarrassment, "But I haven't got the necklace yet."

"Merry, you see you stay in the base, it's inconvenient for us to meet or talk. But you and I will come home soon." It's different, we can slowly figure out a way to get the necklace. As long as it's in Hicks's hands one day, we still have a chance to get it back. Besides, the relationship with the guardian is not irresolvable. I will always treat you well until you are willing Stay by my side." Ming Kun knew the art of speaking well, and he dispelled Meredith's worries with just a few words.

Meredith thought so too, he was always on base, and Hicks stole the limelight. Now the star network is full of news about him, and it seems that he has been forgotten by others.

"Then, I'll go back and think about it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Even if he agreed, he couldn't agree right away, that would be too cheap.

Mingkun is so shrewd, how could he not see that he has loosened, and said generously, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

***

Jiang Yanlan only had some skin injuries, but the problem of dehydration was serious. I woke up soon after the treatment.

He told the story of the case in an orderly manner. The special investigator of the Imperial Police Department saw him lying in the mermaid repair fluid with a pale face, weak and pitiful, and his pity increased for a moment. Lian Lian said that he would investigate as soon as possible and give him an explanation.

When the investigators left, they took the body of the dummy mermaid with them, so they must be dissected and examined. Jiang Yanlan didn't say that he used the Pearl of St. Melville to extract his blood. The mermaid's sacred objects must always be returned, so he didn't want to cause trouble. Even if they wanted to suspect that he and the dummy mermaid were both dehydrated, he would just play dumb.

After the investigator left, Pei Zhao soon came and brought the housekeeper, Uncle Zhong.

"How is Major General Pei?" Jiang Yanlan couldn't help asking when he saw them.

Pei Zhao's eyes warmed up a little, "Don't worry, Your Excellency, the major general's operation went well, and he has already entered the medical warehouse. I believe he will recover in a few days."

Jiang Yanlan breathed a sigh of relief, and lay back relaxed, "That's good."

As a modern person who has not experienced many dangers, Mr. Jiang has not recovered from his composure. From discovering the crisis to falling down the building together with Pei Shaocheng, he acted on instinct. Looking back now, he still feels a little scared.

Especially when Pei Shaocheng jumped down to protect him, he was not untouched. Thinking of the man's eyes closed tightly, his face pale and in a coma, Jiang Yanlan suddenly regretted dragging him into this muddy water.

Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper, hesitated for a moment, "We suspect that the bandits who broke into Pei's house last night were the same group as those who attacked you, and they probably came after you. Do you have any ideas?"

"I know who it is. "Jiang Yanlan sneered, "After I went ashore, apart from being in contact with Major General Pei, the only person who had conflicts with me was Meredith's white lotus. They came for the mermaid's sacred object, the Melville Pearl. If you can't steal, you want to rob me by force, and get rid of me by the way, no one in this world will know that Meredith is a despicable and shameless thief."

Pei Zhao and Uncle Zhong looked at each other, it's not good to involve a natural mermaid in this matter done. There was nothing they could do about Meredith unless there was solid evidence.

Jiang Yanlan, "Don't worry, Meredith's white lotus is handed over to me. Find out who he has been close to recently, and find out all the helpers behind him."

"Yes." Naturally, Pei Zhao responded subconsciously before realizing it. But he didn't object to anything, he just asked hesitantly, "How do you plan to deal with those bandits? If you want to use lynching, it's best to wait for our major general to wake up..."

Jiang Yanlan rolled his eyes at him, "Of course it will be handed over to the imperial capital The police station is here, I am a civilized man, a mermaid, and I believe in imperial law."

Pei Zhao's face was paralyzed, "...Okay, I understand."

It was he who was overthinking. He thought that the mermaid had suffered such a big grievance, and would definitely want to take revenge. At least among the mermaids he knows, there are quite a few petulant and willful ones, but this one seems to be very different...

Jiang Yanlan suddenly remembered, "Oh no, Major General Pei made an appointment for me to meet at the nursing home, I have to go see him That's fine!"

Uncle Zhong hurriedly dissuaded, "Any meeting is not as important as your body. The news of you and the major general's injury has been reported on the entire Imperial Capital News Network, and people will understand."

Pei Zhao also said, "If you talk about meeting The target is Your Excellency Elvis, and I have already rescheduled you on the way here. Your Excellency Elvis expressed his understanding, and he also repeatedly asked you to heal your injuries before going to see him."

Jiang Yanlan stopped her movements when she heard this, " Then... well."

Through Pei Zhao's mouth, Jiang Yanlan found out that Elvis was already very old, and had been maintaining his life through the machines in the nursing home. It was not Elvis himself who exchanged news with them, but his youngest son.

Speaking of which, the life of the natural mermaid Elvis is very legendary. He and his partner had a total of nine sons, and the first eight died on the battlefield, including his partner, Admiral Zhuang. Only the youngest son, Zhuang Xiangming, was saved by his side.

Zhuang Xiangming was reluctant to let him see Elvis at first, because he knew that his mother and father are now supported by the obsession with missing the ethnic group. If he was allowed to get the news of the mermaid clan, he might not be able to hold on if his anger dissipated.

However, Pei Shaocheng persuaded him, and seized his weakness as soon as he made a move, "Do you want your parents to leave contentedly, or let him pass away with regret?"

I wondered what Zhuang Xiangming would choose.

However, he didn't want Jiang Yanlan to see Elvis too soon, so when he learned that they had an accident and needed to reschedule, he was actually very willing.

But he was also very concerned about Jiang Yanlan's safety, and he was relieved to confirm that he was safe and sound.

Jiang Yanlan had a strange expression after hearing this. Don't blame him for being unreasonable. According to Pei Zhao, this Elvis will die at any time. What if he accidentally dies? Is he going to kidnap Meredith and force him to take him back to the mermaid land! Even if he is willing, the mermaid protection organization will go crazy!

Jiang Yanlan thought so, so she confessed it.

Uncle Zhong comforted, "Your Excellency, don't worry, there is a machine to maintain him, and he won't die for a while. Besides, Mr. Zhuang knows your purpose and will definitely find a way to help you find out."

Jiang Yanlan had no other choice, he It is impossible to make a video communication in the past. Not to mention that Zhuang Xiangming disagreed, but the less people knew about the mermaid land, the better.

Although there are sound mermaid protection laws in this world, there are black industry chains everywhere. Didn't the plot say that Meredith has been kidnapped and sold at underground auctions. If people with malicious intentions learn about the mermaid group, the remaining mermaids will be in danger.
