We're stuck here and can't proceed; we can only wait to break through from another angle.
Similarly, the fourth one also got stuck.
However, one of the mermaid buyers was a powerful figure from the Imperial Star. Interestingly, he was also the buyer of the modified mermaid Ke Ran, who was the owner of the large villa that Liya and the others envied.
Ruan Mingchu decided to start with him.
This man is named Gao Bugui, and his family is related to Ruan Mingchu's family four or five generations back.
Print out Gao Bugui's information and give a copy to Mu Yu, keeping one for yourself. "Take a look at the information first and get to know this person. We can't force things with him; we must find concrete evidence of his crimes."
After Ruan Mingchu finished speaking, he sighed. This is the power of the nobility. Even the emperor himself cannot act recklessly.
Mu Yu stared at the twenty-centimeter-thick stack of documents, feeling completely numb. He noticed that Ruan Mingchu seemed to particularly like this kind of thing; she insisted on writing her reflections and summaries by hand, and preferred to give others paper copies of things.
With trembling hands, he picked up a page and glanced at it. Just one glance made him dizzy and his eyes darted around.
Good heavens, is all this densely packed tiny writing just to save paper?!
Ruan Minh Thu said no, it was just to make the thick stack look smaller and more acceptable to the viewer.
He gestured to indicate the length, "If the layout weren't so dense, it would probably be this thick."
Mu Yu weakly held his head, "I feel a little unwell, maybe..."
“It’s alright,” Ruan Mingchu said with a smile. “The terminal has a scanning and reading function, so you can listen while you rest in bed.”
Pastoral metaphor: ...
Mu Yu chose to read it himself; what the heck is this "terminal reading"? That's too malicious!
Mu Yu was extremely reluctant to watch, while Tu Aotian was still unhappy because Ruan Mingchu hadn't prepared any materials for him!
Rabbit Aotian: "Are you discriminating against rabbits?! Grandpa Rabbit can read a hundred lines at a glance. I even helped Lord God read his official documents back then, and you didn't even prepare any materials for me! Ughhhh, I'm so angry!"
Pastoral metaphor: ...
"How about I give you mine?" Mu Yu asked tentatively, but the longing in his round eyes was not just a little, but almost overflowing.
“No need,” Ruan Mingchu said with a broad smile. “Wait a minute, I’ll be right there.”
He then looked at Menhao with an expectant expression. Menhao was blinded by his good looks and nodded as if possessed.
Then he and Mu Yu would hug each other and cry their hearts out from time to time, wondering what terrible sins they had committed in their past lives to be punished like this!
Gao Bugui, 56 years old, is currently the deputy director of the Dixing Education Bureau. His father was the vice minister of the Ministry of Education before his retirement, and his mother was a well-known figure in the business world before her retirement.
He is currently single and has had three Omega wives and two Beta wives who died. All of his wives came from humble backgrounds.
She has five Alpha sons, two Beta sons, two Beta daughters, and one Omega daughter.
He has three older Alpha brothers, two older Alpha sisters, and countless other relatives.
The above is only a brief overview of Gao Bugui's interpersonal relationships. In the materials provided by Ruan Mingchu, each name that appears is expanded upon.
After reviewing their interpersonal relationships, half of the data had already been processed. This demonstrates the complex and intertwined relationships among the powerful and influential figures of the imperial court, where a single move could have far-reaching consequences.
Mu Yu put down the documents, stood up, stretched, and gave his mind a short break.
I wandered over to Ruan Mingchu's place, only to find him looking at the last page.
My gaze shifted to the side and landed on Rabbit Aotian. Good heavens, there were only two or three pages left.
Shepherd's metaphor: What do people do?!
Leaving your good brother to struggle alone in the sea of ants is simply inhuman!
So disloyal to your brothers!
Ruan Mingchu's gaze lingered on the last period for three seconds, completing the reading and memorization.
Looking up, I saw the indignant little fish and skillfully reached out to rub its head.
"Keep it up! The more you read, the faster you'll read."
Mu Yu said with a long face, "I want my dinner to be a little saltier."
Ruan Mingchu: "Hmm?"
Mu Yu: "Because I want to be a salted fish!"
“Hahaha,” Ruan Mingchu said, laughing and crying at the same time, “Wooden fish won’t get salty.”
Such a vivid imagination, so cute.
Mu Yu didn't care; he wanted salty food tonight!
To fulfill Mu Yu's small request, Ruan Mingchu specially went to buy him a large bag of pickled vegetables.
Salted radishes, salted lettuce, salted cucumbers, salted green beans... all kinds are available.
Ruan Mingchu opened a bag and tasted it. It didn't quite suit his taste, but it had a unique flavor when drunk with the original flavor nutrient solution.
Mu Yu floated over to the dining table, and Men Hao lay half-dead on his shoulder, not moving for a long time.
During dinner, he couldn't even hold his chopsticks properly, let alone eat pickled vegetables; it was as if he had suffered inhuman torture.
Mu Yu: It's like I've suffered immense torment (very loudly)!
Mu Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance made Ruan Mingchu feel a little sorry for her; look what she had done to the child.
Ruan Mingchu inwardly berated himself, but then he went about his business as usual, believing that Mu Xiaoyu must have grown from today's experience and could come more often next time.
If Mu Yu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely fall to the ground and stage an accident, and wouldn't be able to recover.
Given that Mu Xiaoyu couldn't even hold chopsticks properly (on purpose), Ruan Mingchu strongly recommended the original flavor nutritional drink to him, and even inserted a straw to feed it to his mouth.
Mu Yu: There's no need to be so virtuous.
Mu Yu frowned and took a small sip. Sure enough, this tasteless stuff was awful.
But he still slurped it all down, somewhat understanding the feeling of the husband in the treasure app who had to force himself to praise his wife's terrible cooking as delicious.
However, Ruan Mingchu's cookies were quite good, but unfortunately, he only made them once.
Mu Yu tentatively said, "I want to eat some cookies, the kind you gave me last time."
If someone is willing to wash their hands and bake cookies for another person, what else could it be but love?!
Ruan Mingchu immediately thought of the baking class and said no problem, "You can eat it when you wake up tomorrow morning."
Mu Yu: He really does love me!
Fully charged, Mu Xiaoyu strode back to his desk, only to wilt again at the sight of the paper covered in tiny, illegible writing.
I forced myself to stay here and keep driving because I was thinking about cookies.
Mu Yu: You've really sacrificed a lot for me because of love.
Ruan Mingchu didn't sleep all night, studying videos of master cookie makers. This was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had made a request, and he wanted it to be as perfect as possible.
After trying more than ten recipes, Ruan Mingchu finally found a flavor that he thought Mu Yu would like.
Just as I shaped the dough and put it into the oven, the sound of an aircraft came from the yard.
Ruan Mingchu set the oven timer, and Meng Shuo and Runyu rushed in.
Runyu: "We've spotted Lord Galo! Come with us quickly!"
Meng Shuo rushed upstairs and grabbed Mu Yu.
The two fish looked so anxious, as if Galo was on the verge of death. Unable to wait for him to finish baking the cookies in forty minutes, Ruan Mingchu had no choice but to bring along the cookies he had previously made as a trial.
When they arrived at the aircraft and it started flying in that direction, Ruan Mingchu realized that the two of them were just too excited.
It's probably like the prelude to a true fan meeting their idol.
Ruan Mingchu: I want to curse. His cookies!
Mu Yu was radiating a low mood, still wearing his cat-themed pajamas. Last night, he lay in bed looking at documents, getting sleepier and sleepier until he fell asleep.
In his dream, those tiny words chased after Mu Yu, reaching the heavens and the earth.
Too terrifying.
Now that he's been dragged away, Mu Yu is in a very bad mood.
Even Meng Shuo and Runyu, with their thick skin, couldn't withstand Mu Yu's sinister gaze.
Suddenly, something pressed against his lips. Mu Yu looked down and the first thing he saw was Ruan Mingchu's jade-like hand.
Only then did I see the golden-brown biscuits, and my nose, though slow to catch the rich, sweet milky aroma.
Mu Yu opened his lips and bit the cookie, then tried to pull his head back to snatch it away, but Ruan Mingchu wouldn't let go.
Ruan Mingchu only realized he should let go when he bit off the biscuit, and the biscuit fell down, plummeting rapidly through the air.
Both of them tried to bend down to catch it, and their heads bumped together hard, so they didn't catch the cookie.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu looked at each other and smiled.
"Try it and see which flavor you like best. I'll make it for you again next time." Ruan Mingchu handed the small bag of cookies to Mu Yu.
Mu Yu hummed in agreement, took the bag, and also picked up the cookies that had fallen on the ground.
Ruan Mingchu looked around and found the trash can. Just as he was about to say that the trash can was there, he saw Mu Yu blow on the biscuit and put it in his mouth.
Mu Yu: "It's delicious."
Ruan Mingchu felt something strange had entered his heart and was stirring inside.
Meng Shuo and Runyu, who were watching, had mixed feelings and their teeth ached terribly.
Moving from the bed to the spaceship, Menhao adapted well, only turning over once to indicate that he had read it.
With one of his two red eyes fixed on the little biscuit, Tu Aotian jumped onto Mu Yu's shoulder when he saw that Mu Yu said it was delicious.
"I want some too! Hurry up and bring it to your Grandpa Rabbit."
Mu Yu stingily picked out a crumb of cookie from the bag, saying, "I'll let you try it because you're my friend."
Rabbit Aotian stared at the cookie crumb, which was about the size of half a baby's fingernail, and almost fell in love with it.
"A friend like you? I'm cutting ties with you!"
Mu Yu happily put the cookie crumbs into his mouth and licked his fingers as he did so. "Fine, we're done."
Rabbit Arrogant Heaven: ? ? ?
