Chapter 360: Chapter 10: This Fishpond’s Cannon Fodder Is Contracted (Part 10)

Upon hearing this, Gao Qingjue immediately panicked.

He indeed didn’t come for the problem; he just wanted to justifiably take away Jiang Lai’s top authority card.

Jiang Lai had always been laid-back about these matters and rarely asked questions. Unexpectedly, today she didn’t play by the rules, making the already tense Gao Qingjue panic in front of the imposing Jiang Lai.

This person could decide his future fate.

How could he have foolishly listened to Ren Yan and come over on a whim?

Jiang Lai’s words were like a bucket of cold water pouring over his head, giving Gao Qingjue an instant sense of crisis.

"Director, I was wrong, I will go back and reflect immediately."

"We need people with a clear head here. If it happens again, you can leave the base to clear your mind properly."

Gao Qingjue left with cold sweat on his back.

Ren Yan eagerly approached him as he came out.

"How did it go? Did you get the pass card? Give it to me first."

Gao Qingjue looked at her, a trace of conflict and hesitation in his eyes.

"Sorry, I didn’t get it. But do you really have to do this? Once discovered, your future will be ruined."

Gao Qingjue had sobered up quite a bit.

Ren Yan looked at Gao Qingjue full of disappointment.

"Is the most important thing in your life just your future? I think at the very least, a person should be true to their conscience. Ask yourself, are you being true to yours?"

In front of Ren Yan, Gao Qingjue always felt a deep sense of shame, feeling that she was indeed right, but reason kept pulling him to stay clear-headed.

"I’m sorry, Yanyan, I’ll help you with everything except this matter. Since the Director values these mermaids so much, if she finds out you’re trying to release them, we’ll both be done for."

Ren Yan sneered.

"I’m not a coward. If that’s the case, some people should just continue to cling to their bright futures. That way, if anything is ruined, it will only be my future."

With that, Ren Yan turned and left, leaving Gao Qingjue standing there full of inner conflict and helplessness.

Jiang Lai sat in the office, watching the live broadcast.

Little Buding was beside her, making a snide remark.

"As expected of the heroine, she has some skills. If you hadn’t given him a warning today, he might really have dared to risk everything for Ren Yan."

Infatuated male secondary character.

Weak and gentle.

Isn’t that exactly how Ren Yan described herself?

This side couldn’t rely on Gao Qingjue anymore, so Ren Yan found the security team’s captain, Liang Gao.

In previous idle days, Ren Yan would wander around the laboratory and happened to get to know this man from the security department. They often chatted in the security room and unexpectedly hit it off, eventually becoming friends.

Ren Yan sought his help and told him her plan.

"I suspect this laboratory is operating illegally. We are a humanitarian country and cannot let Jiang Lai torture the mermaids here. Can you help them? The mermaids trapped in here are truly pitiful."

Liang Gao didn’t expect Ren Yan to have such a bold idea.

Seeing Ren Yan’s expectant gaze, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Alright, you are my friend; your issues are my issues. What do you want me to do?"

"I knew you would help me. The mermaids need meat, a lot of meat to replenish their strength. Do you have a way to get more fresh meat in? The fresher, the better."

Upon hearing this, Liang Gao furrowed his brows.

"Those mermaids eat raw meat?"

"Don’t misunderstand them, mermaids live under the sea where there’s no source of fire, so they can only eat raw meat. Also, they only eat deep-sea fish or things like beef and lamb. You’re the only one here who can access the outside. Can you help me?"

Ren Yan had already taken the initiative to ask him for help, so after a brief hesitation, Liang Gao nodded.

"Okay, but how will the meat I bring in be delivered there?"

"I will handle that. Thank you, Liang Gao. Once the mermaids are saved, they will remember your kindness, and you will receive the blessing of the mermaids."

Liang Gao chuckled.

"What’s with the blessing, as long as you’re happy."

Just like in the plot, within the entire base, almost every male character inexplicably has goodwill towards the heroine.

No wonder in the end the male lead, even as a fish, breaks through the racial barrier and falls in love with the heroine.

"The plot is unfolding. If it continues as in the original plot, Liang Gao will continuously sneak in raw meat, with the male lead rapidly regaining strength thanks to this meat."

"Meat... since he likes eating meat so much, let’s fulfill that wish."

With that, Jiang Lai made a direct phone call.

"Send me some live fugu, yes, fresh ones."

She stayed in the laboratory the whole night, and at first light, Jiang Lai took an unhindered path to the kitchen with her pass card.

"Director, why did you come here? Ah, just tell us what you want to eat; there’s no need for you to personally come over!"

"Where’s the meat delivered yesterday?"

"Meat... oh, it’s all in the back kitchen."

"Hm, I’ll take a look. You guys carry on with your work."

Entering the back kitchen and closing the door, Jiang Lai took out a prepared syringe.

That night, Jiang Lai went to bed early, leaving the pass card on her office desk. After work ended, Gao Qingjue casually slipped the pass card into his pocket.

Ren Yan was already waiting outside.

"Here’s the card for you."

"Mm, I’ll return it to you before dawn."

"Yanyan, I want to go with you. I also want to see what the mermaid looks like."

Ren Yan refused without hesitation.

"Now is not the time; he is particularly averse to strangers, allowing no one but me to approach him. Let’s talk about it later."

Saying that, Ren Yan took the card and eagerly went to see the mermaid.

"This time the meat is all freshly slaughtered lamb from yesterday, so eat up, eat a lot."

Saying this, Ren Yan stuffed the cut meat through the breathing hole, watching the mermaid eating piece by piece, she felt exceptionally satisfied.

"How is it? Do you feel any better?"

The mermaid nodded and wrote on the glass with his hand.

"Thank you."

It was then that the mermaid noticed the wound beside Ren Yan’s wrist and suddenly slapped the glass, pointing at Ren Yan’s wrist and writing.

"Bleeding, what happened?"

Ren Yan quickly covered it up, showing a somber expression.

"I might not be able to come see you often now; Director Jiang is beginning to suspect me."

Not directly explaining how the wound came about, but mentioning Jiang Lai made the mermaid assume that the injury on Ren Yan’s hand was caused by Jiang Lai.

He fiercely slapped the glass, his power so strong that the whole glass tank shook and swayed violently.

The meat from this period wasn’t eaten in vain.

At that moment, the mermaid’s expression suddenly changed, his pupils abruptly vertical, and without warning, he spewed out green liquid, his upper body painfully curling up.

"What’s wrong with you?! What’s happening?!"

Ren Yan panicked; the mermaid had never been like this before.

The green liquid mixed with the water in the tank, plus the mermaid’s violent struggles, made it impossible for Ren Yan to see clearly inside.

Suddenly, the struggling mermaid rammed his head against the glass, his blue slit pupils coldly staring at Ren Yan outside the tank, giving her a shock out of nowhere.
