Chapter 390 The Bride of the Sea God (49)

After the speedboat disappeared, the sea returned to calm, leaving only the ocean-going vessel and the scattered mermaid corpses.

Yan Zhen looked at Nolan.

He held the little mermaid's corpse, remaining motionless for a long time.

It wasn't until the captain came over again to report to Yan Zhen that the radar detected another ocean-going vessel approaching.

Judging from the logo on the ship, it belongs to the Chen Group.

This late-arriving ocean liner must have come to collect the mermaid's corpse.

Nolan also noticed the arrival of the fishing boat, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Handing the little mermaid's corpse to Asaya, Nolan flicked her long tail and disappeared into the sea, vanishing from Yan Zhen's sight in the blink of an eye.

Yan Zhen knew what it was going to do, and she did not stop it.

For the next ten minutes or so, she witnessed a one-sided massacre.

The giant ocean-going vessel, three or four stories high, soon disappeared completely into the sea amidst cries of agony and despair.

The captain, who had nearly twenty years of sailing experience, turned pale after witnessing the entire process.

He had participated in many mermaid captures, but he never knew that mermaids were so powerful that they could capsize an entire fishing boat single-handedly.

Despite the clear blue sky overhead, the captain felt a chill run through his body.

Yan Zhen stood on the deck, gazing at Asya, whose eyes were filled with hatred, on the sea.

He was clearly looking at her, but Yan Zhen felt as if he was looking at all of humanity through her—the overwhelming anger in his eyes almost overwhelmed her.

After a long while, Yan Zhen withdrew his gaze and instructed the captain, "Turn around and return to Shengjing."

-

The ocean-going vessel sped on, and it was three days later that it returned to the Shengjing dock.

Wei Shucheng personally came to the dock to pick up Yan Zhen.

Once in the car, he immediately asked, "What happened?"

Yan Zhen rubbed his temples wearily and recounted the incident of the Chen family's torpedo attack on the Mermaid Sea: "Has this news already spread?"

The fishing boat sank, and Young Master Chen went missing. The Chen family should find out soon, but it's unclear how the news will get out.

Wei Shucheng frowned: "The Chen family has noticed something is wrong, but they probably haven't figured out what happened yet. They're only telling the public that Young Master Chen has gone missing."

"Then how did you know something had happened?"

Wei Shucheng opened his phone and showed her a news report video.

"Mermaid corpses have been appearing on the coast of XX City, attracting crowds and looting."

In the video, the bodies of three or four mermaids drifted ashore and were discovered by nearby residents. Someone called the police, but before the police arrived, the mermaid bodies were almost completely divided up.

The reporter stopped a middle-aged man holding a piece of fish tail. The man's face was full of joy: "This is a good thing. It can enhance male virility. It usually costs tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram. We can't afford to buy it even if we want to."

The reporter said, "But the police said that the mermaid had been dead for at least two or three days, and the flesh might have already spoiled. Eating it would make you sick."

"As long as no one dies, it's fine." The man ignored the reporter's attempts to stop him, picked up the fish by the tail, and strode away.

The reporter's camera panned to the shore, where four mermaids had been cut up, leaving only their heads. The eyes of one of the heads had even been gouged out. Nobody wanted the heads because "they looked too human; it felt like eating human flesh, and nobody dared to take them."

After watching the video, Yan Zhen returned the phone to Wei Shucheng and remained silent for a long time before muttering to himself, "It seems this fierce battle is inevitable..."

Wei Shucheng didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Yan Zhen pulled himself together and instructed Wei Shucheng, "Go to the hospital, I need to see my dad."

"it is good."

Yan Zhen took out his phone and called his company assistant, asking her to go to the villa on Changming Road and deliver a USB drive containing information analyzing the current living conditions of mermaids and applying for protected animal status for them to the hospital.

She originally planned to clean up the mess at the Si family's house before telling Si's father about this matter, so that he could come forward and discuss and apply with the relevant departments.

It seems that this matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Given the value of mermaids in the eyes of humans, they will inevitably suffer misfortune as long as legislation is not enacted to protect them.

If things continue like this, with her and the Si family's meager strength, they simply cannot stop the continued deterioration of relations between the two races.

The car made a U-turn at the intersection ahead. Just as it rounded the bend, a truck suddenly rushed out from the side and charged menacingly straight at Yan Zhen and Wei Shucheng.

Wei Shucheng was shocked and reacted quickly, swerving the steering wheel and almost flooring the accelerator to avoid the accident.

However, the car that had sped off couldn't stop in time, crashing into the green belt and finally coming to a stop after hitting a tree.

Yan Zhen, who was in the back seat, was wearing a seatbelt. When the front of the car hit the tree, her forehead hit the front seat, and she was pulled back into her seat, causing her vision to go black.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself still in the car.

Someone was knocking on the car window. The driver's side airbag deployed, and Wei Shucheng lay motionless on the steering wheel.

"Wei Shucheng." Yan Zhen's vision was blurry, and she felt so dizzy she almost vomited. She kicked the seat in front of her. "Wei Shucheng, wake up!"

Wei Shucheng groggily opened his eyes, and after taking in his situation, he turned his head with difficulty to look at Yan Zhen: "How are you? Are you alright?"

"I can't die for the time being."

Wei Shucheng snapped out of his daze and looked out the car window.

A man was knocking on the car window. Wei Shucheng subconsciously assumed the man was a kind passerby coming to rescue him, and struggled to reach out and press the window down button, trying to lower the window.

As soon as the car window rolled down a few centimeters, Yan Zhen noticed that the man had one hand behind his back, and from her angle, she could vaguely see a cold glint in it.

Alarm bells rang in her mind. Before she could even speak to stop Wei Shucheng, she kicked the back seat of the driver's seat with all her might.

Wei Shucheng was in excruciating pain all over his body, and when she kicked him, his hand slipped while pressing the window up/down button, and the car window, which had only been lowered by two or three centimeters, immediately stopped.

Before Wei Shucheng could ask a question, Yan Zhen said sternly, "Wei Shucheng, you're in danger!"

Seeing that his intentions had been exposed, the man outside the window went all out, wedging one hand into the gap in the car window and frantically prying the window down.

Wei Shucheng was startled and quickly unbuckled his seatbelt. As the man ripped down the car window and swung his knife at him, Wei Shucheng scrambled to the passenger seat.

The man had half his body inside the car and was about to chase after Wei Shucheng across the center console when he was hit in the face—Yan Zhen removed the window hammer from the car and swung it at his nose.

The man yelled and immediately covered his nose.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yan Zhen opened the car door and got out, shouting around, "Murder! Murder! Help!!!"

The shouts attracted the attention of many people, and some passersby moved closer.

Upon seeing this, the man immediately jumped out of the car window and ran away without looking back.

Having escaped danger, Yan Zhen, feeling dizzy and disoriented, collapsed to the ground. Seeing several people in police uniforms rushing towards her, she could no longer hold on, her body leaned back, and she fell unconscious.

-

Yan Zhen woke up again in the hospital.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Nolan sitting at the foot of the bed, legs curled up, lost in thought.
