Greni integrated into this group of little mermaids very quickly, or, in other words, any person or mermaid who was kind to them could quickly integrate with them.

After all, even Ji Mingjiang, who was accused by the little mermaids to their keepers of being a “devil” every day, could be affectionately called Jiang Jiang within two days.

Although he felt that this was too insignificant,.

Wednesday night at nine o’clock.

To be precise, it was nine o’clock on Wednesday night, after a week.

Ji Mingjiang had just supervised several mermaids who had finished their evening exercises and checked their learning results today. Looking at a group of mermaids paralyzed on the shore, Ji Mingjiang had a vision of the big golden retriever he had raised before.

No, no, no, what is he thinking? His golden retriever is much healthier than these guys.

Ji Mingjiang shook his head, took out his toiletries from the space button, and prepared to go to the cubicle to wash up. His light brain also rang at this time.

“Didi-didi-”

There are some unique rhythms. After more than a week or so, even Greni knew what this meant.

It was a message from Clarice.

Unable to tell whether it was because the time was a little unreasonable or because of some intuition, Greni, who was comforting the tearful little mermaids one by one a second ago, quickly turned his head.

After Ji Mingjiang gave him a calm look, he opened the message bar.

“Clarice: Good news, you don’t have to continue sleeping on a folding bed at the Mermaid Center.”

“Clarice: Bad news, but maybe not bad news for you.”

“Clarice: We have received news that the Federation is very likely to take action tonight. The specific time is still uncertain, so you need to sleep later tonight.”

A series of words came out without a second’s pause, and Ji Mingjiang almost didn’t recognize the word “news.”

He pinched his eyebrows and put the things in his hands back to the space button exactly as they were.

“Ji Mingjiang: Got it; I’ll pay attention.”

“Ji Mingjiang: See you tomorrow.”

“Clarice: See you tomorrow.”

After closing the chat box, Ji Mingjiang raised his head and saw Greni looking at him unblinkingly.

Still unable to move his tail, Greni carefully held onto the edge of the pool, skirting around the lazy mermaids, as he made his way to Ji Mingjiang and asked in a whisper, “Today?”

Ji Mingjiang nodded. “The specific time is not yet certain, so you shouldn’t sleep tonight either.”

Greni, who wanted to knock the Federation people to the ground, naturally wouldn’t have any objections, but…

He tilted his head, and his eyes shifted to a group of tired little mermaids who were about to fall asleep. There was a very obvious worry on his face: “I have no problem, but they…are they really not in danger?”

“Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Ji Mingjiang’s tone was very calm, but the dark eyes that reflected Greni’s figure and the pool behind him made people feel sincerely convinced.

“En.”

Greni recalled the thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind uncontrollably when he first saw Ji Mingjiang and nodded without hesitation.

“Jiang Jiang, what happened?”

Although the conversation between the two people was deliberately lowered, it was inconvenient for Greni to move now. Ji Mingjiang still squatted by the pool and talked about this matter with Greni. No matter how low his voice was, he would always be noticed by the mermaid next to him.

At this time, Chen Yang, who was closest to them, raised his sore arm, stretched it forward, then opened his eyes with difficulty and asked vaguely.

“I seem to have heard some words like danger?”

Chen Yang only vaguely heard the word. The little mermaid, who was not too old, didn’t understand why Ji Mingjiang’s voice was so low when he said this, so he said the word carelessly.

“…”

The mermaids who were floating on the water or lying by the pool all turned their heads and looked over. Ji Mingjiang couldn’t help but feel a headache.

After sighing, he felt that it might not be a good thing to conceal it. Finally, Ji Mingjiang briefly introduced the recent situation to a group of curious eyes and then said seriously: There is a great possibility that there will be the people I mentioned earlier to come to our place tonight to cause trouble, but their main target is not on you, and the time is not yet certain, so you just need to rest normally tonight. You don’t need to worry about this matter, do you understand?”

“Understood!”

After obediently listening to Ji Mingjiang’s words, Chen Yang was immediately pushed aside by other mermaids who swarmed up, muttering about something they were discussing.

After Ji Mingjiang heard an earful, he felt that these little guys couldn’t turn over any new tricks, so he didn’t care.

The moon hung higher and higher. At twelve o’clock in the evening, the little mermaids who had been discussing enthusiastically before thought they couldn’t stay up late and fell asleep in a daze. After Greni glanced at Ji Mingjiang, he gently moved these little mermaids together near the inside of the pool.

“Stay safe; I’ll keep an eye on your side.”

After confirming that the only door was locked and placing his folding bed near the window, Ji Mingjiang whispered to Greni.

“I will; don’t worry.”

Greni nodded.

The folding bed was placed by Ji Mingjiang in a place where the moonlight and lights outside the window could not shine. After placing the two devices that Clarice gave him, Ji Mingjiang, who was breathing the lightest, stared at the window.

In the quiet nursery, there were only the mermaids, who were pushed into the corner and fell into a deep sleep. The little snoring sound was particularly obvious, followed by the sound of wind and snow whizzing past the window and the sound of leaves rustling.

After quite some time, just when Ji Mingjiang was wondering if these people were planning to wait until dawn before barging in directly to seek death, there was a sudden rustling movement from the direction of the window.

Greni, who was about to fall asleep, woke up with a jolt, turned his head slightly, and looked at Ji Mingjiang in a panic.

He was still very close to Ji Mingjiang’s position, so although the environment was dark enough, he could still vaguely see Ji Mingjiang mouthing at him.

“Rest assured.”

The window was pried open by a crack, and the biting cold wind blew in, but Greni’s heart suddenly felt safe and secure.

***

“Boss, is this the place?”

Bracing against the wind and snow, the man was hunched over, wearing only a black night jacket. He quickly took a photo, squatted under the window, and sent it to Grepa.

“Yes, be careful.”

The message from the other side came back quickly, presumably having been waiting in front of the light brain as well.

However, the person who sent the message still bristled and grumbled with the companion beside him: “Really, he seems to be very proactive, but this is obviously his mission, so there is no point in passing all the risks to us.”

“Even if kidnapping a few mermaids is not considered a risky task, why is it that while we are freezing outside in the winter, he, the person who directly received the task, can stay comfortably in the room and command remotely?”

“Alright, alright. He’s the person receiving orders directly under Minister Andrew, after all.”

The man in black who was listening to him just now covered his mouth and whispered, “Hurry up and finish it. Let’s go back and rest early. At least we will get a lot of money after this is over.”

“Forget it; I’ll listen to you.”

Impatiently slapping the cold hand over his mouth, he quietly stuck his head to the lowest part of the window and looked inside the foster room.

“It’s not a big problem. That Greni is sleeping near our window. But I haven’t seen the one named Ji Mingjiang yet. I heard that he sleeps in the Mermaid Center because of some reforms he wants to carry out recently, probably in the staff dormitory. Let’s get rid of this Greni first, and we’ll go find him later.”

Withdrawing his head, he made an OK gesture to his companion.

The window was quietly pried open, and two black figures quickly got in.

A man took a few steps forward and arrived in front of Greni. Just as he took out a knife from his pocket and prepared to deal with the mermaid, who had not noticed anything unusual, his companion, who was supposed to be closing the window, suddenly let out a muffled groan.

“What are you doing, trash? You can’t even close the window properly.”

He just turned his head slightly sideways and whispered a taunt.

Yet half the time he didn’t hear a reply from the good-natured companion.

“Hey!”

An ominous premonition suddenly flashed through his heart, and just when he was about to turn around and place the knife in front of him, his neck was strangled by a pair of strong arms.

A slightly familiar voice sounded in his ears with a smile: “I’ve been expecting you guys. It’s not a good habit to call your companions trash.”
