So now, Zhang Qian had come here looking for Lu Yun.
What Zhang Qian just said clearly didn’t match the hidden plot she had received.
He had started his research before the mermaid got pregnant. There might be something unknown behind it. In any case, the death of that mermaid could not be so simple. Otherwise, Lu Yun wouldn’t hate him and the mermaids so much.
At this moment, as Lu Yun approached, Zhang Qian was clearly afraid, his eyes flickering with fear.
“Lu Yun, we need to talk.”
The lab had lost its funding, and all projects had come to a halt. Zhang Qian had no choice but to negotiate with Lu Yun.
But Lu Yun acted as if he hadn’t heard. He was playing with a Swiss army knife in his hand, the clicking sound making one’s eardrums itch and a chill grow from the depths of their heart.
Seeing the sinister smile on his lips, Wan Tong had a bad premonition. But before she could speak to stop him, the knife in Lu Yun’s hand had already plunged into Zhang Qian’s abdomen. He even glanced at the gushing wound and softly murmured, “Talk, continue talking before you breathe your last.”
“Lu Yun!” Wan Tong’s shout made Lu Yun frown and look over.
Seeing himself covered in blood, he said coldly, “Turn your head away, or I’ll gouge out your eyes.”
Instinctively, a tinge of regret rose in his heart. He shouldn’t have let her see this…
But it was just a fleeting moment.
Wan Tong cursed inwardly and shouted at him, “Lu Yun, are you crazy? You killed someone in my house!”
Lu Yun blinked, withdrew the bloodied blade, and looked at Zhang Qian lying on the ground without any extra expression. He merely said, “I’ll take care of it.”
“But you can’t just kill someone!” Wan Tong glanced at Zhang Qian’s wound. He hadn’t lost consciousness yet, but the wound was still bleeding, and it was unclear if he could be saved.
As she trembled and dialed for an ambulance, Lu Yun took away and threw her phone aside, his dark eyes fixated on her with a cold, emotionless voice, “I said, I’ll take care of it.”
Wan Tong looked at his blood-stained hands, her eyelashes trembled violently, and her shoulders shrank. She took a step back.
This person didn’t seem like the Lu Yun she knew.
Lu Yun pointed to the man on the ground and stated emotionlessly, “There’s no such thing as a beautiful cross-species love. He’s a rapist. To create me, he raped his experimental subject. After I was born, I almost died countless times at her hands because she said that half-mermaids should be strangled at birth.”
Yes, the experimental subject didn’t even have a name, but the records detailed her actions and words.
So, he was unwanted, the evil fruit of a rapist and an experimental subject.
Wan Tong bent down to pick up the phone, and Lu Yun approached, scaring her into retreating quickly.
Seeing her reaction, Lu Yun’s face darkened.
“No matter what, Lu Yun, I don’t want your hands stained with blood. If you want revenge, there are other ways…”
Wan Tong’s words were cut off by Lu Yun, “Don’t talk about letting the law punish him. He researched mermaids; do you think this can be exposed? Tongtong, you’re too naive. Aren’t you afraid of implicating your mermaid friends?”
After he finished, he looked towards the entrance.
Several figures approached quickly, and Wan Tong’s back was met with a warm, reassuring chest.
Her cold hand was held in his palm, and he also took the blood-stained phone from her.
“Yu Sheng…”
“Don’t be afraid, Tongtong.” The deep, rich voice beside her ear successfully calmed Wan Tong.
She turned around, and Yu Sheng wrapped his arms tightly around her, shielding her firmly in front of his chest.
Witnessing this, the flames of anger in Lu Yun’s chest were inexplicably extinguished, replaced by an indescribable feeling.
Yu Sheng’s gaze shifted from Wan Tong to Lu Yun’s face, his tone slightly heavy, “Lu Yun, if you had any sense, you wouldn’t have taken his life.”
Zhang Qian had made some achievements in genetic engineering. After returning to the country, many had their eyes on him, wanting to recruit him. His incident at the Yue family couldn’t be concealed for long.
Lu Yun calmed down, the thick smell of blood in the air making him nauseous.
But he had to admit that he had been impulsive just now.
“He won’t die.” At this moment, Yu Jiujun left the side of the unconscious Zhang Qian and said these three words indifferently.
Li Ting glanced at the three young people in the living room and said, “Don’t fight, talk it out.” Although she liked being a live-in housekeeper, she didn’t want to clean up this kind of mess in the middle of the night.
Yu Jiujun held her hand, walked a few steps, and looked back at Lu Yun, “Half-mermaid, you are so stupid. If you were gentle to Tongtong, there would be no place for my boy.”
Wan Tong was originally in a heavy mood, and after hearing this, she was immediately in tears.
Yu Sheng’s forehead jumped a few times, and he watched his parents leave in silence, while Lu Yun frowned across from him, and the gloom in his eyes could not be dispersed.
He also felt that he seemed to have completely lost something.
Zhang Qian was sent away by Yu Sheng’s people. Lu Yun squatted at the door of Wan Tong’s room like a big dog, but because he was not as strong as Yu Sheng, he was thrown out by Yu Sheng.
Wan Tong rinsed herself, and the smell of alcohol and blood seemed to have just dissipated. She simply soaked in the bathtub again.
Yu Sheng came uninvited, stopped in front of her bathtub, and called out, “Tongtong…”
Wan Tong raised her eyes, her black eyes were wet, her little face was steamed pink and tender by the steam, and her little mouth opened, and a soft voice came out, “Why did you come in? Get out! You stinky hooligan!”
He was only wrapped in a bath towel, and his ears were red. It was obvious that something bad was going to happen.
Yu Sheng coughed lightly, bent down and supported her hands on the edge of the bathtub, and asked in a bewitching voice, “Tongtong, do you want to touch the mermaid’s tail?”
Wan Tong : “…No.” Ahhh, I want to see it!
However, she suppressed her inner desire and shook her head seriously.
“Oh.” Yu Sheng responded, and then stepped into the bathtub.
Wan Tong: “…”
Wan Tong had seen Yu Sheng’s seductive appearance in the water when she was eight years old. His blue scales even showed a golden glow from light to dark under the light.
At this moment, Yu Sheng looked like that again in front of her. When he was a child, he was so beautiful that it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. Now that he has differentiated his gender, his male aura was obvious. His handsome face was like a sculpture. The rolling water droplets depicted every muscle on his body. The hormones mixed with water vapor in the narrow space. His tail under his waist was hidden in the water, flashing with sparkling golden light.
Wan Tong looked a little absent-minded. Yu Sheng even shook his tail and touched the side of her leg. It was a little cold. She couldn’t help but reached out and touched it. The touch was unexpectedly good.
“Yu Sheng, if you do this, will you not have ‘that’?” Wan Tong suddenly asked with a red face.
“…” Yu Sheng realized what she was asking, and his ears were slightly hot, but Wan Tong obviously didn’t notice.
He lowered his eyes and suddenly moved to her, with his hands on the edge of the bathtub behind her, and his tail gently pressed her legs. When he spoke, his hot breath gently brushed against her ears, “Want to touch it?”
Because of his movements, the water in the bathtub overflowed to the side again. Fortunately, the bathtub was relatively large, otherwise it really couldn’t accommodate his body.
His face was very close to her, his lips were rosy, and Wan Tong looked at him with a dry mouth. Because of his words, she became even more curious. In this state, he really had that?
Where was it hidden?
She opened her lips slightly, but the words got stuck in her throat, thinking it was too unreserved, too unreserved!
Her wet black eyes dared not meet his, a drop of water hung precariously on her pink lips, incredibly enticing.
She clearly wanted to touch him but hesitated to speak…
Yu Sheng chuckled softly, grasped her hand, and in a husky, sexy voice said, “Shall I help you?”
Wan Tong : “…”
She felt a hard, scaly shell under her touch…
*Boom…* Her face instantly turned bright red, and she quickly retracted her hand.
There really was something there.
Mermaids truly are strange creatures…
“I’m done soaking, move aside, I need to get up.” Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, the delicate end tone gently tugging at the man’s heart, making his blood boil instantly.
“No rush,” Yu Sheng murmured, his chest vibrating slightly as he wrapped his arm around her and kissed her slightly parted lips.
Wan Tong’s worldview shattered. She never imagined she’d have such an indulgent day. The steamy interaction with Yu Sheng definitely wouldn’t pass any censorship. Fortunately, such actions would be automatically blocked for Shishi, or she would never be able to face anyone again.
But she couldn’t deny that the different species aspect was quite thrilling.
All night long, her mind was filled with shifting blue and gold lights, and when she woke up the next morning, she was still clutching a hard, dazzling scale…
Blushing, she stored the scale away. Yu Sheng emerged from the bathroom, already dressed in a shirt and trousers, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His hair was a bit messy, adding a touch of laziness and wickedness to his appearance.
Seeing Wan Tong sitting on the bed, he said nothing but bent down and kissed her passionately.
Wan Tong, already drowsy, felt dizzy from his kiss.
When he carried her to the bathroom, she barely regained her senses, then slowly freshened up with his help.
Looking at her flushed face in the mirror, she felt like a total wreck…
But since the boss was on the right track, it didn’t matter if she was a wreck.
So, Wan Tong happily accepted Yu Sheng’s care.
For the next period, Wan Tong and Yu Sheng resumed their cohabitation life.
Li Ting still lived in the Yue residence, but Wan Tong dared not treat her as just a housekeeper anymore. Initially, she was shy, but later she got used to Li Ting’s personality, and they became… good friends, occasionally going shopping together.
A young and vibrant mother-in-law like this, Wan Tong felt she could accept. But Yu Jiujun seemed lonely and soon whisked Li Ting away. Even though he was over sixty, he was still clingy to his wife.
Yu Jian was particularly quiet, maybe brewing some conspiracy.
At Yue Corporation’s year-end party, Wan Tong booked an entire floor of the Longcheng Hotel. Thousands of employees celebrated together, and she also gave a speech, staying until the lottery draw.
Zheng Jun was very lucky and won the first prize, a BMW. To share his good fortune, his colleagues wouldn’t let him leave early.
Wan Tong waved her hand, asking him to stay and celebrate while she took the keys and prepared to leave first.
In the elevator, she was about to send a message to Yu Sheng, but her mind was suddenly filled with alarm bells.
She felt the elevator shaking beneath her feet, then it jerked violently, causing her to be thrown back against the mirrored wall of the elevator.
She was alone in the elevator, and after the lights went out, only the bright glow of her phone screen illuminated her bloodless face.
After the intense shaking, the elevator was quiet for a moment. This unusual silence made Wan Tong’s heart leap to her throat, and she held her breath.
She reached out and pressed the elevator’s alarm button, and although it responded, at that moment, the elevator suddenly plummeted downward, and she felt a huge sense of imbalance!
*Boom!* Everything fell into darkness and dead silence.
In the parking lot, because of the loud noise, almost all the lights flickered on. Inside a car, Yu Jian saw the lights and his expression tensed, gripping the steering wheel tightly.
“Yue Wantong…”
He felt a bit melancholic, but no matter what, she had to die.
He was still waiting, waiting for the system to notify him of her death.
Not far away, Yu Sheng’s figure swiftly emerged from a car and rushed towards the elevator.
Seeing him, Yu Jian frowned. He had just heard a system notification saying that Yu Sheng’s favorability for him had suddenly dropped to -10.
He found it quite strange. Why would Yu Sheng’s favorability drop for no reason?
Could it be that Yu Sheng had discovered something? But all his recent actions had been erased by the system, and he hadn’t shown any unusual behavior in front of Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng shouldn’t have detected anything…
For some reason, a faint sense of unease arose in Yu Jian’s heart. Perhaps he had been too impulsive today?
