Ruan Mingchu: ...
It seems I'll have to be careful about even my back view when disguising myself from now on.
Ruan Mingchu's spiritual power reached that place again, but there were no more mermaids there. Just as he was about to search again, a huge cheer and a cry of surprise erupted from the crowd.
A squad of heavily armed bodyguards walked around a water truck toward the swimming pool, inside which were two mermaids, one large and one small.
The smaller one should be the modified mermaid Ke Ran, and the larger one is the purebred mermaid Mi Mei.
Mimi wore a collar around her neck, and Ruan Mingchu could see that the collar was secreting a continuous stream of harmful substances that were eroding his body.
No wonder he looked sickly and listless.
A bodyguard opened the door of the water truck to pour the mermaid and water into the pool.
As the water poured into the pool, Keran flicked her tail and sprang up, tracing a beautiful arc in the air before gently landing in the water. She quickly swam around twice, displaying her graceful body and beautiful tail to the guests.
Many of the people present showed expressions of admiration, even fascination.
They looked expectantly at Mimi, who was still inside the waterwheel.
Mimi gave a mocking smile and remained motionless until finally being poured into the pool by a rising waterwheel.
Disappointed sighs could be heard from the guests.
Clearly, this green-tailed mermaid is more attractive; her face and figure are better looking than the smaller one, and she exudes a more mature charm.
Even though he floated listlessly in the water, he still possessed an irresistible charm that made one want to make him cry and see if mermaids would truly shed jewel-like tears.
Ke Ran put on a great show, and although she looked young, every move she made exuded a mature charm that contrasted sharply with her innocent and childlike face.
Amidst the cheers of the guests, Gao Bugui, the owner of Yueyuan, finally arrived late.
As soon as Gao Bugui arrived, Ke Ran swam to the shore and gazed at him affectionately, as if all her worries were tied to him.
Gao Bugui first said a few polite words, and the guests applauded enthusiastically, with Ke Ran clapping the most enthusiastically.
Which male wouldn't want to have a mermaid who treats you like royalty?
Gao Bugui was used to it, even somewhat perfunctory. He walked to the shore, reached out and touched Ke Ran's pink lips, and smiled, "Make sure the guests are happy."
Ke Ran let out a sweet "hmm" sound, stuck out her pink tongue and licked Gao Bugui's hand, pulling out a long, thin silver thread, which made all the Alphas present feel their hearts skip a beat and their breathing become heavy.
Ruan Mingchu, who was watching, was so disgusted that he almost threw up his dinner from the night before. Mimi, who was in the pool, had the same expression as him.
Mimi was furious, her face cold. Although that little brat wasn't a mermaid, it was really infuriating for a mermaid to make such disgusting moves while wearing a fake tail.
After kissing Gao Bugui, Ke Ran flicked her tail and began a new round of performance.
He deliberately moved closer to Mimi and bumped her shoulder hard, seemingly to solidify his position and warn the newcomer not to try to provoke him or replace him.
Ruan Mingchu didn't look any further. He found a hidden basement under the villa, where there were some things that might be useful.
Perhaps due to overconfidence, the villa was almost unguarded, and Ruan Mingchu easily slipped into the basement.
This basement has more torture instruments than a prison; it could be a museum. It has everything from ancient triangular horses and large clamps to interstellar cell electrodes and holographic emotion locks.
Ruan Mingchu looked at them one by one with a stern face. Some of these items had old bloodstains, but the bloodstains on some of the torture instruments were fresh.
But that's not enough; it's not enough to convict someone like Gao Bugui.
He looked around and pondered, until Ruan Mingchu saw a cabinet full of prohibited drugs and had an idea.
Ruan Mingchu selected two items from the medicine cabinet, both of which were considered serious crimes if used by the perpetrators.
He was hiding in Gao Bugui's bedroom and could still hear the cheers coming from the swimming pool outside.
When the noise subsided, Ruan Mingchu heard many noisy and superficial footsteps.
The clearest sound was Ke Ran's sticky voice: "My lord, Ke Ran also wants to stay with you."
But Gao Bugui had already lost interest in him. He patted his cheek and said, "Take good care of our distinguished guest for the master. If the guest is satisfied, the master will also make our little Keran satisfied."
Ke Ran seemed on the verge of tears but forced herself to be strong: "Ke Ran will not let you down, sir."
After Ke Ran left, Gao Bugui also entered the bedroom where Ruan Mingchu was hiding. Following him were the water cart and bodyguards who were imprisoning Mi Mei.
The bodyguards carried the unconscious Mimi onto the waterbed.
Gao Bugui watched from the side, casually drinking the water that the nanny had prepared, which Ruan Mingchu had spiked.
After confirming that Gao Bugui had drunk the drink, Ruan Mingchu sent a message to Mu Yu that they could prepare to break in.
Mu Yu replied "Received," and then a dark figure burst through the window, quickly taking down most of the bodyguards.
Ruan Mingchu glanced at the terminal again, thought for a moment, and told Mu Yu not to rush, to come over when all the actors were present.
Mu Yu replied with an OK.
Missing those few seconds, when Ruan Mingchu looked up again, he found that things had escalated to the point where all the bodyguards had been killed, and Galo was holding Gao Bugui by the neck and lifting him into the air.
Seeing Gao Bugui's face flushed red from lack of oxygen and shame, Ruan Mingchu decided to go out later, just to make sure Gao Bugui wouldn't be killed.
The master was attacked, and soon the guards of Moon Garden gathered near the bedroom.
They tried to negotiate with Galo, but Galo punched them one by one and completely ignored them.
They had no choice but to resort to violence.
But Galo was too strong, and they couldn't break through his defenses after a long time.
Mu Yu and his hired mercenary actors descended from the sky, posing as local government forces from Hot Spring Star. They successfully drove off the terrorists who attacked Gao Bugui and rescued their master.
Hmm... As for the fact that the master and the others were taken to give statements, that should be the normal procedure, right?
Mu Yu showed Gao Bugui the fake ID. Although Gao Bugui couldn't tell it was fake, how could he possibly cooperate with taking a statement? Why should he cooperate with these lowly people?!
But before he could refuse, Mu Yu knocked him unconscious.
Innocent Mu Xiaoyu: "Quickly find a doctor, Mr. Gao has been knocked unconscious by terrorists."
Garrison Terrorist Lo: ...
When Gao Bugui woke up again, he was already in the prison of the Shuangjiu Interstellar Military Headquarters, where he could cry out to heaven and earth in vain.
Galo wasn't driven away by Mu Yu, but by Ruan Mingchu. Ruan Mingchu discovered the benefits of the [Spatial Gate] skill as soon as Mu Yu did.
With effort and the help of Mu Yu, he successfully mastered a variant of this skill: "Small Space".
【Small Space】is a temporary alternate dimension that can be created to include the target within the space, and the location of the space door is specified by the user.
After Ruan Mingchu took Galo to another dimension, he ran to a deserted place and released Galo.
As soon as Galo appeared, it attacked Ruan Mingchu. Its tail was harder than the hardest rock and it was whipped around like a propeller.
After exchanging two blows, Ruan Mingchu's eyes lit up with excitement, and he was completely fired up. It had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent worthy of a fight.
Galo hadn't intended to go all out; he just wanted to teach the little mixed-race kid who'd interrupted his plans a small lesson. But he hadn't expected the little thing to be even more formidable than him, and the fight had really gotten heated.
The two fought from night until daybreak before finally stopping.
When Ruan Mingchu stopped, he still felt unsatisfied, because they couldn't go too far for the sake of the surrounding environment.
Otherwise, this planet might be destroyed.
Galo looked at Ruan Mingchu with complicated emotions. There were mixed-race people in the mermaid world, but no mixed-race person had ever been this strong.
Galo said to Ruan Mingchu, "You are very strong."
Ruan Mingchu nodded without hesitation, admitting, "I know."
That's called confidence!
Galo: "Welcome to the world of mermaids."
Since Galo mentioned the mermaid world, Ruan Mingchu took the opportunity to inquire about the situation there. He felt that Galo, with his personality, wouldn't lie, or rather, he disdained lying.
Of course, if he misjudged the situation, he deserved it.
Galo didn't say much, only that, "Not very friendly, it's a dog-eat-dog world."
Ruan Mingchu wanted to ask more basic questions, such as about currency and energy, but Galo disappeared again in the blink of an eye. This kind of skill is worth learning and emulating.
Ruan Mingchu looked around to confirm his location so he could find the hotel. Unexpectedly, he saw Mu Yu standing not far away. His feet moved the moment he saw him, faster than his brain could process the information.
"What are you doing here?" Before Mu Yu could answer, Ruan Mingchu had already judged his behavior. He smiled broadly, clearly pleased. "I knew you must have come to find me, worried about me?"
Mu Yu hesitated for three seconds, then nodded. The Treasure app said that people should be brave enough to admit their actions; doing things without speaking about them will always lead to losses, no matter where you are.
So, the awkward Mu Xiaoyu still admitted that she was worried about Ruan Mingchu.
Ruan Mingchu didn't know how to describe his current feelings, but he was incredibly happy, absolutely overjoyed. Having always been considered omnipotent, he had never been worried about by anyone.
Ruan Mingchu was happy all the way and insisted that Mu Yu laugh with him.
Mu Yu waved away his hand that was trying to do evil and explained to him what happened last night: "Gao Bugui and those who work in Yueyuan were caught and taken back to the spaceship. After Mi Mei finished telling him about her experiences in this world, she left with Meng Shuo and Run Yu, saying that she wanted to continue playing here."
"One more thing, Ke Ran said he wants to see you." Ke Ran's exact words were that he wanted to see the manager and would only communicate with the manager.
When Ruan Mingchu first met Ke Ran, he was lying on the bed like a corpse. Stripped of his deliberately flamboyant demeanor, he was just a thin and weak boy.
Upon seeing Ruan Mingchu, he propped himself up on his arms and sat up. "It's you."
Clearly, this young man had seen Ruan Mingchu before.
Before Ruan Mingchu could ask, Ke Ran explained herself: "That night, only your eyes were different from theirs. Even though you were wearing makeup, I still recognized you."
Okay, Ruan Mingchu mentally condemned his own disguise and resolved to change his eye shape and wear colored contact lenses when disguising himself in the future.
Ruan Mingchu nodded to indicate that he understood, and asked, "What did you want to say to me?"
To her surprise, Ke Ran looked him up and down in astonishment, "Since when can Omegas be leaders?"
Although he is not actually an Omega, he is currently presenting himself as one.
Ruan Minh Thu said, "Because none of them can beat me, I am the leader."
Ke Ran said enviously, "That's great."
He calmed himself down for a moment before continuing, "I have some evidence of Gao Bugui's illegal activities. Will giving it to you make it serve its intended purpose?"
Having been on the imperial planet for so many years, he already knew how much blood was stained with power and how rotten it was.
Ke Ran didn't hold out much hope, but he was already exhausted. This tail wasn't something that could be easily attached. After climbing for so many years, it was time for him to rest. He just didn't know what had happened to Liya and the others…
Ruan Mingchu nodded: "You can try to trust me."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "You can consider Gao Bugui and me as political enemies. Now I want to bring him down, and the more people in his faction I bring down, the better."
