Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 361 - 11: This Fishpond’s Cannon Fodder Is Contracted (Part 11)

Chapter 361: Chapter 11: This Fishpond’s Cannon Fodder Is Contracted (Part 11)

The current situation left Ren Yan baffled, but from the mermaid’s angry gaze, she understood that she had just made a mistake.

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

The mermaid’s upper body trembled in pain, yet its eyes were fixed on Ren Yan, as if wishing to tear her apart, scaring Ren Yan into freezing on the spot, unable to move, and then slowly backing away, her eyes filled with confusion and fear.

"Why? What’s the matter with you?"

She had no idea what was wrong, initially hoping to help the mermaid quickly recover and join him in seeking revenge, but now the trust she’d painstakingly built just shattered completely.

Not caring what was wrong with the mermaid, seeing the fiberglass shaking incessantly, Ren Yan fled in fear, not forgetting to lock the door behind her.

Watching the door close, Ren Yan finally let out a sigh of relief, her heart pounding fiercely.

Thinking of the vicious look the mermaid had just shown, she was terrified.

The mermaid she loved wasn’t like this; they were fragile and beautiful, carrying the most primitive and pure emotions, yet the mermaid just now revealed frightening fangs, making even that beautiful face appear somewhat hideous and terrifying.

Feeling uneasy, she returned to the dormitory and desperately thought about what went wrong until she realized it might be the meat she brought him.

It was after eating the meat that the mermaid went mad.

The next day, Ren Yan angrily found Liang Gao and questioned him.

"What’s with the meat you gave me? Who told you to do this? Was it Jiang Lai? Did she tell you to harm me?"

Liang Gao was utterly clueless.

"What are you talking about?"

"After eating the meat yesterday, the mermaid went mad, it was the meat you brought in, why did you do that?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Gao understood that the mermaid had a problem from eating, and Ren Yan was here for accountability.

"I brought the meat you asked for, all freshly slaughtered from the market. Since I promised to help you, I didn’t expect a thank you, but what do you mean now? I help and end up causing trouble?"

Liang Gao valued loyalty and emotions but had a temper; he couldn’t stand being misunderstood or falsely accused the most.

Previously, he thought Ren Yan was gentle and considerate, not only chatting with him frequently but also occasionally bringing food and drinks to improve his meals.

Because of this, he considered Ren Yan a friend, willing to help her at the risk of getting caught.

But now, as soon as something went wrong, she was certain he tampered, leaving Liang Gao with nothing to say.

"If you think I’m this kind of person, then don’t come to me in the future. The mermaid is so precious, I don’t dare get involved anymore. Whoever you want to bring meat, let them bring it, just don’t find me."

Ren Yan realized her words were somewhat harsh.

"That’s not what I meant, I just lost my temper just now. Sorry, I honestly didn’t suspect you, otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked for your help in the first place."

Liang Gao smiled and sighed.

"Well, that’s my value, isn’t it. Go ahead, I have work to do."

"Liang Gao, you should understand why I’m doing this, this way the mermaid race will eventually become extinct, someone has to do something to protect them. In any case, I’m very grateful for your help."

After saying that, Ren Yan thanked Liang Gao with reddened eyes and turned to leave.

Liang Gao stood behind her, noticing the tears in her eyes, regretting somewhat.

His words were indeed a bit harsh earlier; after all, she’s his only friend in this experimental base.

"Hey..."

——

"Like Gao Qingjue, the type willing to help and when things go wrong, would feel guilty, the self-strategy type of person.

This should be the heroine’s skill in this book.

So Jiang Lai, your evil plan failed."

In the original plot, the security squad leader Liang Gao was the most powerful among the heroine’s devoted admirers, single-handedly subduing Jiang Lai’s bodyguards and helping the heroine smoothly escape with all the mermaids.

Thought the scheme of alienation could thwart Liang Gao’s devotion, but unexpectedly the heroine’s simple words directly broke his resolve.

"Jiang Lai, don’t we look like malicious villains secretly sabotaging the heroine from the shadows?"

"Don’t include me in your self-positioning, and also, my goal to deal with the heroine doesn’t require sneaky tricks."

She never intended to alienate Ren Yan and Liang Gao, she just wanted to test if she could use the heroine’s hand to poison the protagonist into a useless fish.

Calculating the time, the toxins should have spread sufficiently now; Jiang Lai went straight to the lab. Before opening where the mermaids were held, Jiang Lai took out a tissue and slowly wiped the card slot for the access card, seeing some oil stains on the tissue, she turned around and said.

"Someone came in last night, go check the surveillance, also, who’s the security chief?"

"Director, the security chief is Liang Gao."

"Mm, dismiss him, never hire again."

Ren Yan following behind Jiang Lai: "!!!"

Ren Yan’s heart raced wildly, her breath became cautious and careful.

The usually careless and lazy Jiang Lai easily discovered someone had been here last night.

The surveillance here was already blocked due to the mermaids’ influence, Ren Yan didn’t have to worry about being discovered.

But Liang Gao was dismissed, the most crucial part of her plan was ruined!

How could this happen so suddenly?

Did Jiang Lai discover something?

In the lab, the mermaid was hung up again, the poison and narcotics left him powerless to open his eyes, even his whole tail was drooping lifelessly, indeed showing a fragile beauty.

Jiang Lai first drew a tube of blood, finding the toxin in the mermaid’s blood was slowly diminishing.

After half an hour of blood testing, the toxin concentration diminished further.

The mermaid’s vitality was strong, the concentrated toxins from dozens of pufferfish not only couldn’t kill him but only temporarily deprived him of consciousness, lasting about ten hours.

This was merely a moderate mermaid; as for high-grade mermaids, the toxin’s effect time would be even shorter.

Jiang Lai recorded the results and looked back at Gao Qingjue.

"Come over, cut off his fin."

In just half a month without research, his dorsal fin had restored more than half.

The first thing when capturing a mermaid is to cut the fin, otherwise once a mermaid breaks free, everyone in the lab wouldn’t be enough for him to kill.

Gao Qingjue was a bit scared.

Usually, Jiang Lai would do these things herself, this time she directly let him handle it.

"Director, I have no experience, maybe you can demonstrate for us this time."

Jiang Lai lifted her eyes, glanced coldly at him, then flipped the mermaid over, her finger pointing at the fin extending from the back to the tail.
