I asked you to save the villain, not to take him as your wife!

Yu Pei wanted to take Lan Xun with him, but he had walked around the artificial beach for most of the way and still couldn't find Lan Xun.

As a last resort, Yu Pei had to stop a staff member and ask, "Did Lan Xun go out?"

The staff member who was pulled over saw that the person who was asking the question was Yu Pei, and did not hide anything: "Yes, Mr. Lan Xun went out with Prince Lin An in the morning."

"You haven't come back yet?" Yu Pei asked.

"No." The staff shook his head.

Yu Pei was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "What about Lan Jingyao?"

"Mr. Lan Jingyao also went out in the morning, and he went out with General Bian Cheng." said the staff member.

"Did they go out together?" Yu Pei asked curiously.

"That's not the case." The staff member shook his head: "Mr. Lan Jingyao and his men left first, followed by Mr. Lan Xun and Prince Lin An."

Yu Pei said "oh" and waved his hand to signal the staff to go back to their own business.

Since Lan Xun has already gone out, there is no need for him to take him with him.

It seems that Lan Xun could leave the aquarium without his help.

I just don't know whether Lan Xun used magic to make Lin An take him out, or Lin An turned to pursue Lan Xun.

Since he couldn't guess it, Yu Pei wouldn't keep thinking about it.

However, in this case, it seems that he has no use at all.

"Well, it's good to have no place to use my skills. This way, I can do my experiments with peace of mind." Yu Pei muttered in a low voice.

But somewhere deep down in my heart, there is always a faint sense of loss.

……

After leaving the aquarium, Yu Pei went to another restaurant to enjoy delicious food.

I was halfway through my meal when a call came in.

Yu Pei took a look and saw that the person calling was the district chief.

Yu Pei answered the call directly.

The district chief called urgently, but as soon as the call was connected, he saw Yu Pei eating in Kuku.

My thoughts paused for a moment, and then I wasn't so anxious anymore.

After calming down, the district chief re-wrote his speech before asking, "Why is there so much missing data in the table you sent me?"

Hearing the district chief's question, Yu Pei swallowed the food in his mouth slowly, and then replied: "This is the data of the materials sent this time."

After saying that, he bit back, "Is the blood delivered this time the same as last time?"

Didn’t he say it was really the blood of a deep-sea mermaid?

After all, he is outside now, so he always has to be careful about whether there are ears on the other side of the wall.

Of course, Yu Pei knew best why the data dropped so much.

Because this is the data of blood running for ordinary tasks.

But there was no way he could tell the district chief about this.

Chen Yue, the only person who knew about the situation, had also signed a confidentiality agreement and did not have to worry.

Although Yu Pei did not say it explicitly, the district chief knew what he wanted to express.

His brows suddenly furrowed.

Originally, I thought of having two deep-sea mermaids take turns to draw blood, so that I could keep up with Yu Pei's research speed while not harming the mermaids' bodies.

Unexpectedly, Lan Xun, who looked healthier, did not have that special substance in his blood.

In this case, the only one who can supply blood is Lan Jingyao.

"I will discuss with others and provide you with the previous blood as soon as possible, but the cycle may need to be extended." The district chief was silent for a long time and then spoke.

"Okay." Yu Pei agreed somewhat reluctantly.

Well...he was pretending.

People like the district chief are a bunch of old foxes.

If he agreed too readily, they would definitely overthink it.

Therefore, it would be more beneficial for him to act a little embarrassed at this time.

Seeing Yu Pei being so reluctant, the district chief, who wanted to give him some strength, was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he just said, "Eat your meal first."

Then, the communication was cut off.

After the district chief cut off the communication, Yu Pei's reluctant expression finally disappeared.

He is not as smart as these old foxes.

But he has seen the plot!

Moreover, by doing so, he only prevented Lan Xun from using illusion every now and then.

After all, it's impossible for Lan Xun to really let anyone draw blood.

Anyway, we can only use Lan Jingyao's blood for research, let the higher-ups know that there is no special substance in Lan Xun's blood, and it will also make them pay less attention to Lan Xun.

As for whether there is that special substance in Lan Xun's blood...

Yu Pei naturally didn't know this.

Only by conducting research and experiments can we know.

But he probably won't have this opportunity.

After finishing his meal, Yu Pei did not stay outside.

Boarding his small aircraft, Yu Pei prepared to return to the aquarium to wait for Lan Xun.

He didn't have any other intentions, he just felt that he should talk to Lan Xun.

He can't be the only one who knows that he and Lan Xun are in cahoots, right?

Meanwhile, he was working hard to figure out how to remove the sacred bead of the mermaid clan from Lan Jingyao's body.

Lan Xun had messed up things on the other side, and there was no place for him to cry.

Before returning to the aquarium, Yu Pei expected that Lan Xun had already returned, or was needed, etc.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that they met at the gate of the aquarium.

Of course, I didn’t encounter Lan Xun alone.

In addition to Lan Xun, also present were Lan Jingyao, Bian Cheng and Lin An.

Among the four people, except Lan Xun, the other three seemed to be in a bad mood.

Lan Jingyao had a look of aggrieved and helpless, while Bian Cheng and Lin An looked at Lan Xun with anger.

"Hey, what's going on?" Yu Pei walked over to the group with his long legs and asked curiously.

Judging from the expressions of several people, there is gossip here.

Since we met by chance, there is no reason not to eat some melons.

Hearing Yu Pei's voice, the four of them immediately looked at him.

Lan Xun was about to answer when Lan Jingyao spoke first.

"It's my fault. I lost something of Lan Xun's. He was just urging me." Lan Jingyao said aggrievedly.

Although Yu Pei was listening to Lan Jingyao carefully, his attention was actually on Lan Xun.

Of course, Yu Pei must emphasize that he is definitely not a face-obsessed person!

The main reason is that Lan Xun is so beautiful and striking. Even in a crowded crowd, he can be noticed at a glance.

Yu Pei said that most of his attention was focused on Lan Xun. This is human instinct, but it is not what he wanted to see!

However, because his attention was always on Lan Xun, Yu Pei immediately noticed that when Lan Jingyao said the above words, Lan Xun's eyes immediately became sarcastic.

Looking at Bian Cheng and Lin An again, they began to glare at Lan Xun again.

Perhaps sensing Yu Pei's attention, Lan Xun shifted his gaze and met his.

The moment he met Lan Xun's gaze, Yu Pei saw a look of anticipation in his eyes.
