  Near the beach villa, Gu Wenyan saw a brightly lit place not far away. There were almost no people living around, and the surrounding area was dim. Only the lights from the villa were shining brightly in the dark night.

  That is where Mingshi lives now.

  After getting out of the car, the driver went to park the car first, and Gu Wenyan strode over there first.

  After ringing the doorbell several times but no one came to open the door, he frowned worriedly and unlocked the door with his fingerprint without hesitation.

  Fortunately, I haven't had time to change the unlocking method.

  After opening the door, what came into view was a spacious and empty living room. The incandescent light from the ceiling shone on all the furniture, making the already deserted living room even more desolate.

  There was no one in the living room.

  Gu Wenyan had a handsome face with an expressionless look, but his whole body was chilled. He skipped the living room and went straight upstairs, quickly opening each room one by one, even the storage room, until he came to the last room. He paused for a moment before suddenly opening the door.

  The white door panel slammed against the wall with a loud bang and bounced back. When the light was turned on, the light that leaked in instantly enveloped the entire space.

  There's no one inside.

  There was no one in any room!
  At this moment, Gu Wenyan's worry reached its peak. He twisted his fingers tightly, picked up his phone and called his men to adjust the surveillance.

  At the same time, he walked into the room. At the end of the spacious room was a tightly drawn black gauze curtain, and behind the curtain was the balcony. He raised his hand and pulled the curtain open with force. The curtain slid smoothly to both sides with a rustling sound, revealing the balcony.

  The balcony is exquisite and small. It is not large in size but faces the sea. If you look at it from here during the day, you can have a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery of the sea. But it is night now, and even with the moonlight, you still can't see the distant scenes clearly.

  However, in this case, no matter how weak the light is, it can be easily discovered.

  After Gu Wenyan hung up the phone, his bony hands suddenly grasped the balcony railing tightly, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and his eyes were filled with endless coldness.

  Obviously, he was thinking of his enemies at this moment.

  I had originally wanted to let them live a little longer, but now it seems there is no need at all.

  His slender fingers tapped the black railing unconsciously, and Gu Wenyan decided to call Mingshi again.

  The beeping sound was heard and time passed second by second. Gu Wenyan had been staring intently at the time passing by on the screen with his head down. The next moment, a clear sound of something breaking the water surface immediately attracted his attention.

  He looked up suddenly, and the distance was still dark. The sound of water disappeared, as if it had never appeared. However, this made Gu Wenyan discover some unusual lights.

  The light from the villa extending to that place seemed extremely thin, but one could still vaguely guess that it was a black reef, and the unusual light was coming from the front of the reef.

  The light seemed dim, but from Gu Wenyan's perspective it was extremely clear, like the light from a mobile phone.

  The only person who could have left his cell phone in the villa today was Mingshi.

  He immediately hung up the phone and waited for a while. The dim light disappeared. He called back and the light came on again.  

  As expected.

  Gu Wenyan gazed at the sea again, then turned and walked downstairs.

  After a moment, he picked up Mingshi's phone. There was no password set on the phone. After swiping the screen, he could find several missed calls of his.

  The dim light from the cell phone shone on Gu Wenyan's face, making his facial features look a little paler. His nose was straight, and he thought for a few seconds with deep eyes. Then he thought of the sound he had just heard, and without caring about the sea water wetting his leather shoes and trouser legs, he strode into the depths of the sea for a distance and searched the surroundings.

  At this time, Ming Shi was hiding behind a huge reef, secretly observing Gu Wenyan who was searching not far away.

  In fact, Ming Shi realized someone was coming the moment the doorbell rang in the empty air in the silent night, but she couldn't help getting excited as it had been such a long time since she last came into contact with the sea. Unconsciously, she had already moved away from the villa. When she hurried back and was about to approach the shore, the curtains upstairs were suddenly opened, and she was so scared that she splashed back into the water.

  She was swimming towards her cell phone in the water, but before she reached it, she heard powerful footsteps. Mingshi raised her eyes vaguely and the next second she saw a figure walking down the stairs.

  She only saw the man's strong long legs wrapped in black suit pants. Before she could see his face clearly, she swam here in panic and hid.

  The broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted man in front was still looking around. Mingshi could only helplessly try to shrink his body into the corner.

  Seeing that the other party was already walking towards here, Mingshi clenched his fists nervously in front of his chest, a trace of helplessness flashed in his bright eyes, and then he carefully slid down, and quietly left here under the slightly rippling water.

  What she knew was that Gu Wenyan, who had been in dangerous environments for many years, was very sensitive to sounds. No matter how small the sound was, he could detect it at the first moment. He keenly glanced towards the black reef where Ming Shi had been not long ago. His intuition told him that there was no one there anymore.

  He seemed to hear the faint sound of rippling water. He squinted his eyes and the layout of the entire villa emerged in his mind. After speculating and eliminating one location after another, he finally stepped onto the shore.

  The cold and wet trouser legs stuck to his ankles, and in the middle of winter it felt like cold thorns piercing his whole body. Even a healthy person might not be able to withstand this biting cold, let alone someone whose injuries had not yet fully healed.

  But Gu Wenyan seemed to feel nothing. After getting ashore, he walked towards a place with strong and firm steps.

  There is an open-air exhibition stand behind the villa, which usually has a round table and some stools and chairs for people to relax. Extending from the exhibition stand towards the sea is a small bridge built with wooden boards. The bridge has no obstructions on all sides, making it very convenient to return to the villa from here during the day.

  As a mermaid, Mingshi was naturally afraid of being discovered, because she might be caught and sent to the laboratory for anatomical research if she was not careful.

  The image of a cold scalpel reaching out to him appeared in his mind, and the sharp blade left scars on his body and then blood flowed out. Mingshi couldn't help but shudder.

  She did not rush to the shore, but waited underwater for nearly an hour. When she realized that there was no movement around her and only the whistling of the cold wind, her rapidly beating heart slowly calmed down.

  Mingshi thought that the man had probably left.

  He swam a few feet higher and placed his hand on the edge of the bridge. His silver tail slightly emerged from the water, and then he slowly poked his head out.

  But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the next moment, she felt a strong gaze falling on her.

  His body stiffened instantly, and when he looked up in a daze, he was met with a pair of dark eyes.
