Shen Baiyu was silent outside the door for about a minute, watching Wen Xu almost gobbled up a whole piece of toast, then picked up the milk next to him, dipped it in his fingertips, licked it lightly and tasted it. I drank it wholeheartedly.

He looked away, turned and walked out the door.

At the gate of the villa, Shen Baiyu looked back at the direction of the living room, and said, "Until I come back, no one should come in or out of the house, including robots."

The bodyguard guarding the gate was puzzled by this order.Because of Boss Shen's personal habits, there is not even a single servant in the house except for the bodyguards guarding outside.

The robot will not act without the owner's order.

But he didn't ask too much: "Yes, Mr. Shen."

"Also pay attention to your surroundings. Monitor the signal and notify me if there is any external contact." Shen Baiyu looked away after finishing speaking, and went straight to the car.

-

Wen Xu was not full.

Except for the half cup of coffee that was damn bitter, he took care of everything that was left.

Wen Xu suddenly admired human beings from the bottom of his heart. They are really good at making such delicious food.

The same goes for drinks, I only drank the lukewarm water, and I drank not a drop of that glass of milk.

He pursed his lips unsatisfied, and found that being a servant is also quite good.Only these leftovers are enough to satisfy him.

No, it is very satisfying to be able to get such delicious food without running back and forth.

……

After coming out of the kitchen, Wen Xu looked around carefully.

There was a faint sound of closing the door just now, it should be that the owner has gone out.

After confirming that he was the only one left in the house, Wen Xushu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the carpet.

I am still not used to using my legs, and they will be sore after standing for a long time.

He lifted the bottom of his trousers, looked at his human-like calves, and curled his lips.

After eating food, the tingling sensation deep in the scales was indeed a little lighter.

Wen Xu hadn't been in pain for so long before, and he wondered what the tail looked like now.

It must be ugly.

……

In the afternoon, Wen Xu regained his energy completely, went to the kitchen to fill himself up with tap water, and then began wandering around the house restlessly.

The first time he came to the human world, he was full of curiosity, but it was only now that he couldn't take care of it.

Everything that caught his eye surprised the fish, from all kinds of electrical appliances to the small potted plants on the windowsill, Wen Xu carefully considered each of them.

Finally, while chasing after the vacuum cleaner that would run when touched, he suddenly saw the fish tank under the corner of the stairs.

Wen Xu's eyes lit up immediately: "Fish!"

Several ornamental fish in the fish tank, who were drowsy, were frightened by the sound and almost jumped out of the water.

In the sea, Wen Xu has always regarded these small fish and shrimps as food.

But now it's different.

He stayed in the land of humans, and was almost turned into dried fish by humans... In this case, seeing his "villager", Wen Xu felt a sense of intimacy in his heart.

He hurried over, put the tip of his nose against the glass wall, and greeted everyone in the language of fish, with an excited tone: "You, you..."

It's a pity... There was a chaotic scream in the fish tank, and no fish was listening to him at all.

Wen Xu wrinkled his nose.

Fish raised by humans are indeed much more timid than fish in the sea.

"Stop screaming," he tapped impatiently on the glass, "how did you get here?"

The water wave vibrated, and the little fish were only quiet for a second, and then they started screaming and circling wildly.

Wen Xu ran out of patience, he sighed, leaned over, and gritted his teeth gently.

Now, the fish tank was really quiet.

Wen Xu satisfied to take back Huya.

But before he could speak again, a dozen small fish suddenly turned their bellies over at the same time, and they couldn't move anymore.

Wen Xu: "..."

Unexpectedly, was frightened to death like this?

He slumped over the glass in frustration.

After finally meeting familiar faces in a foreign country, I didn't even have time to say a word.

But at the same time feeling guilty, looking at the little fish floating on the water, Wen Xu couldn't hold back... swallowed.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shen Baiyu turned down the last dinner party and returned home.

Because the next day was a rest day, Mu Yan also followed and made a simple work report in advance at night.

Shen Baiyu leaned on the sofa in the living room, and after hearing what Mu Yan said was almost finished, he tapped his finger on the tablet screen suddenly.

"what is this."

Mu Yan went over to take a look, and explained: "It's a matter of the branch office, and the people below can handle it."

Shen's business scope is very wide, and this relatively major branch company is mainly related to bionic people.

Due to technical and market reasons, the address was set in coastal city F, under the responsibility of Father Shen's old friend Uncle Wu, and Shen Baiyu was not directly in charge.

Wen Xu is from there.

Shen Baiyu's gaze stayed on the screen, and he narrowed his eyes.

It was a very blurry photo, but one could still clearly see a silvery white fish tail surrounded by several people. The scales refracted light, and there seemed to be dark red bloodstains in the gaps.Upwards, there is a back with smooth lines and obvious bone lines and long hair with pale golden light.

It was a mermaid.

Very thin, very white skin.

Seeing this photo for the first time, Shen Baiyu's heart flashed a strange emotion.

"About three days ago, when a department was building a team at the seaside, the male mermaid picked up seemed to be injured," Mu Yan continued, "They were afraid of causing a commotion, so they carried the mermaid to the underground lounge. , plan to contact the people from the Fish Center.”

"As a result, the people over there haven't come yet, and the mermaid ran away by itself."

The full name of the Mermaid Center is the Mermaid Conservation Center, which is specially set up to study and maintain stranded mermaids, and many big cities have them.

Wen Xu, who was standing in a daze in the corner, froze suddenly after hearing all these words.

Although I didn't fully understand it, why did it feel like I was talking about him?

"Have you found it?" Shen Baiyu looked a little more serious.

"Not yet," Mu Yan shook his head, "Because mermaids are fierce and aggressive, and everyone heard that mermaids with injured tails will be more irritable, so I didn't dare to take a frontal photo, only the tail of the fish, which is the clearest one of the

"What the mermaid center means is that pure silver fish tails are very rare, and they could be identified by color, but...the possibility of mermaids changing into legs is not ruled out."

Wen Xu confirmed now that he was really talking about him...

Only the weakest mermaid like him can have a silver-white fish tail. Wen Xu has been wandering in that sea for more than ten years, and he has never seen a second one so far.

Shen Baiyu frowned: "Then actively cooperate with the police, find it as soon as possible, and don't cause trouble."

Human society has only discovered the existence of mermaids in the past few decades. After boldly guessing that mermaids may be the most intelligent marine creatures, relevant departments have mobilized great enthusiasm to start research.

So far, humans have learned that the number of mermaids is very small, they live in groups in the deep sea, and they have high requirements for living environment and food.

Although they are exquisite in appearance and delicate in skin, they are not easy to mess with.

Mermaids have keen senses, sharp teeth, and long, hard nails.In combat, even the scales and fish tail can be used as deadly weapons.

In addition, they also have a very high sense of territory, are extremely aggressive, and are very sensitive to external attacks.In the mermaid center, there was a case where the nurse accidentally tore the scales of the mermaid, and was thrown several meters away by the tail.

As for the intelligence quotient, since the mermaid cannot cooperate, it cannot be accurately tested so far.

All in all, a mermaid with an injured tail hid in the crowd. If something happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Well," Mu Yan sighed softly, "but experts say that its tail is injured, no matter whether it uses its tail or its legs, it will be difficult to return to the sea, and it probably won't be able to escape far."

Shen Baiyu nodded, and added: "Report the results in time."

There was always a strange sense of familiarity in his heart, as if... he knew this mermaid himself.

Mu Yan is very strange.

Although the situation is indeed serious, there is already a person in charge at the branch... Why is the boss suddenly so interested in a mermaid?

"Understood," he replied, stood up, and cleared up the materials on the coffee table, "That's nothing, I'll go back first, you have a good rest."

"Thank you." Shen Baiyu replied and stood up.

When he was about to go upstairs, his eyes landed on the corner of the living room by a strange coincidence.

Wen Xuzheng touched his fangs with his hand guiltily, for fear that he would be discovered if his fangs were exposed, but as soon as he touched them, he was caught off guard and met Shen Baiyu's eyes.

Alpha's dark eyes looked at him undisguisedly, the oppression from innate approached quickly, and Wen Xu's legs went limp almost instantly.

He put his hands down against the wall behind him.

Shen Baiyu saw this movement clearly, and the weird emotion in his eyes became more obvious.

"Mr. Shen, you...don't raise fish anymore?"

Mu Yan asked suddenly.

He was just about to leave when he caught a glimpse of the empty fish tank.

Mr. Shen's personality seems gentle, but he is actually very cold.Even the servants left the house after cleaning. The only thing that looked alive was the dozen or so ornamental fish, which Mr. Shen picked out from the coast.

Shen Baiyu doesn't care much about things other than the company, but he will feed the fish seriously, and even change the water for the fish himself when he has time.

Mu Yan could see the importance of those fish.

After the words fell, Shen Baiyu was indeed distracted, and temporarily turned away his eyes that were almost piercing Wen Xu.

But immediately, his eyebrows frowned.

In the empty fish tank, the oxygen pump and the feeder are still working, but the fish he carefully raised are gone.

Shen Baiyu was silent for a few seconds, and when he spoke, there was imperceptible confusion in his voice:

"My, where's the fish?"

Wen Xu, who had just been let go: "..."
