Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 392 The Bride of the Sea God. (59)

Hearing footsteps, Nolan turned around, his eyes blazing with rage: "I want them dead."

"Okay, I'll have someone investigate." Yan Zhen had no intention of letting the mastermind behind this get away with it.

With murder and death threats looming over her, she has no reason to cower in the shadows.

She immediately ordered her bodyguards to investigate based on the clues.

-

Because the target was clearly identified, Yan Zhen received feedback from his bodyguard in less than 24 hours: the people involved in the car accident and the vandalism at the villa on Changming Road were all instigated by a man named Zhao Quan.

Zhao's company operates a mermaid industry, having only entered the field five years ago.

The mermaid industry has a long payback period. Just as they were reaping the benefits from the mermaid industry, it faced collapse due to the Si family's sabotage.

Enraged, Zhao Quan decided to go all the way and kill the Si family.

That night, Nolan disappeared and didn't return all night.

He didn't return until the next morning, when it was just getting light.

Nolan went straight to the bathroom as soon as he entered the room and rinsed his mouth repeatedly under the tap.

Yan Zhen didn't ask him what happened, and Nolan didn't say either.

At 8:00 a.m., the local morning news in Shengjing reported an incident: a young entrepreneur, Zhao, was attacked by a wild animal while vacationing at a villa in XX Mountain. He lost an arm and bled to death.

At the same time, Si's father called, his tone full of helplessness: "Xiaxia, I'm sorry, I couldn't persuade them."

Yan Zhen was not surprised by this result.

The leadership team seeks stability and therefore does not want to cause any unnecessary trouble before the leadership transition.

A mermaid industry company, seeking profit, uses legal permits to hunt and kill mermaids.

Consumers should spend money and use mermaid products in a reasonable and legal manner.

Everyone has a reasonable and legitimate position and reason.

Yan Zhen called Wei Shucheng and relayed what Si's father had said to him.

After listening, Wei Shucheng paused for a long time before finally cursing, "This world is utterly rotten!"

Yan Zhen did not respond.

After grumbling for a while, Wei Shucheng suddenly said, "Si Xia, take Nolan and your family with you and leave."

Yan Zhen was taken aback: "Leave?"

"Leave Shengjing," Wei Shucheng said. "Anywhere is fine as long as we don't stay in this city."

Yan Zhen sensed something was amiss in his words and became alert: "Wei Shucheng, what are you trying to do?"

Wei Shucheng ignored her words and continued, "Do you know why those people are unwilling to help us? It's because they are either from the perspective of those who want to profit, or they are taking a 'not my problem' attitude towards the fact that the mermaids will be hunted down and wiped out. If the mermaids are destined to be wiped out, then I will drag the entire Shengjing down with me!"

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.

When Yan Zhen called back, his phone was switched off.

Holding the phone whose screen was gradually dimming, Yan Zhen's mind raced as he quickly sorted out the matter.

Does Wei Shucheng intend to proceed as planned and spread the virus?

But if it's about spreading the virus, why is it "dragging down the entire population of Shengjing"?

Wei Shucheng knew better than anyone how powerful that virus was.

Once it spreads, the infected areas will definitely not be limited to Shengjing.

Unable to figure out what Wei Shucheng was up to, Yan Zhen simply gave up trying.

Go ask him directly.

She called to Nolan, "Let's go to Wei Shucheng's house."

A man and a fish arrived at Wei Shucheng's house, pried open the door, only to find the house empty.

Yan Zhen didn't leave immediately. She wandered around the house, opened the refrigerator, and found a lot of frozen salmon inside.

Although one piece of fish was placed in the freezer compartment, it had been thawed and then put back in, so it was not frozen solid.

salmon?

Yan Zhen strode to the kitchen, rummaged through the trash can, and sure enough, found dozens of bags containing salmon inside.

Wei Shucheng couldn't possibly eat that much salmon by himself in a short time; this is Assaya's food.

Before today, Asaya had been staying at Wei Shucheng's house.

Yan Zhen recalled the look in Asaya's eyes when he looked at her on the sea that day, and her heart sank lower and lower.

This is bad news.

She turned to Nolan and asked, "Wei Shucheng is with Asaya now. Can you find Asaya?"

Nolan nodded: "Yes."

Twenty minutes later, Asaya, who had been controlled by Nolan using ultrasound and brought Wei Shucheng back to the Wei family, stood in front of Yan Zhen with a gloomy expression.

Wei Shucheng looked bewildered. He struggled for a moment, freeing himself from Asaya's grasp. Before Yan Zhen could speak, he said, "Si Xia, don't ask anymore. I won't tell you anything. Just listen to me and leave Shengjing with your family. You don't need to worry about things here."

Yan Zhen sat on the sofa: "I knew you wouldn't tell me, so I never intended to ask you—Nolan."

Nolan once again activated the ultrasonic wave to control Asaya.

Asaya resisted to no avail, and in front of Wei Shucheng, he gritted his teeth and confessed everything—there was an active volcano on the seabed not far from Shengjing, and Wei Shucheng planned to have Asaya divert seawater into the volcano, using the volcanic eruption to trigger a tsunami and severely damage Shengjing.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh: "Such a great plan, why didn't you call me!"

Wei Shucheng: "..."

He and Asaya looked at each other, unsure whether Yan Zhen was joking or serious.

“Since we can’t persuade humans to stop hunting mermaids, let’s involve everyone. Only when the life and death of humans are closely related to the mermaids will they truly empathize with the mermaids’ plight,” Yan Zhen said earnestly. “I support your decision.”

Wei Shucheng: "..."

He looked at Yan Zhen in disbelief, repeatedly confirming, "Si Xia, we're going to use the volcanic eruption to cause a tsunami and flood Shengjing."

"I know."

"At that time, two-thirds of the entire Shengjing will be submerged by seawater."

Yan Zhen frowned: "Only two-thirds?"

Wei Shucheng: "...You really support us?"

"real."

"why?"

“I probably feel the same way you do, that this world is utterly rotten,” Yan Zhen said, looking at Asaya. “If we send Asaya to detonate the volcano, won’t he die?”

“Yes,” Wei Shucheng said. “From the moment we decided on this plan, neither he nor I intended to live.”

A volcanic eruption happens in an instant, and even mermaids who can move freely in the ocean cannot escape the power of that instantaneous explosion.

“That won’t do. Asaya has to live,” Yan Zhen said. “I believe Mia wouldn’t want her brother to die for such a reason.”

Asaya became alert: "I'm not afraid of death, what trick are you trying to pull now?"

"Don't look at me like that," Yan Zhen said. "Don't go looking for your own death. Let Nolan handle the volcano detonation."

As soon as she finished speaking, Asaya roared, "No way!!! Anyone who detonates the volcano will die. You're too insidious, woman. You claim to help us, but you actually want to destroy the merfolk's god in this way. How vicious you are!"
