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

Chapter 394 The Bride of the Sea God (61)

"An underwater volcano erupted off the west coast of Shengjing City, triggering a 7.2-magnitude earthquake and a tsunami."

"The earthquake bureau observed abnormal volcanic magma movement and issued a warning seven hours in advance, prompting the emergency evacuation of more than 400 million people in Shengjing City."

"The tsunami has claimed 27 lives and caused direct economic losses of up to tens of billions of dollars."

"The city of XX has dispatched more than 3,000 armed police officers and soldiers to Shengjing City to urgently engage in disaster relief work, making every effort to search for missing and trapped people and to ensure the safety of people's lives and property..."

……

The tsunami submerged half of Shengjing, causing the entire city to lose water and power.

Located halfway up the mountain, the Si family villa was just about to open when Yan Zhen came out of Si Lan's room. The doorbell rang.

The nanny ran over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, dozens of people in armed police uniforms stood outside.

The man in the lead showed his badge and said to Yan Zhen, "Ms. Si Xia, the leader wants to talk to you and your pet mermaid."

Yan Zhen put down his water glass and nodded: "Okay."

She had been waiting for this day ever since she made the decision to detonate the volcano.

Yan Zhen called Nolan and got into the car.

The talks went more smoothly than Yan Zhen had imagined. The leader proposed meeting with the chief of the mermaid clan to discuss peace in person.

Nolan used sound waves to transmit the message to the ocean.

The ocean quickly responded, and the merfolk agreed to meet, but the location would be decided by them.

Nolan acts as a megaphone and translator, relaying and translating information between the two races.

Finally, the interview was scheduled for the evening of the following day on the eastern coast of Shengjing after the tide had receded.

After the time and place for the peace talks were set, Yan Zhen and Nolan were sent back to the Si family.

It was already evening when I entered. There were several large boxes in the living room, and the nanny and Mrs. Si were packing things.

Yan Zhen asked, "Mom, where are you going?"

Before Si's mother could answer, the study door opened and Si's father came out: "Xia...Xia, come in, I have something to say to you alone."

Yan Zhen responded and told Nolan to stay in the living room, then went into the study alone.

As soon as the study door closed, Si's father said with a serious expression, "We plan to go abroad and leave tomorrow morning."

Yan Zhen was slightly taken aback, but not surprised that Si's father would make this decision.

The tsunami caused devastating damage to Shengjing, and the Si family was directly involved.

Although the official explanation was that the underwater volcanic eruption was a natural disaster caused by force majeure, no one knows whether the authorities will hold the Si family accountable after the disaster.

Leaving Shengjing is the safest and most reliable option.

“You said before that as long as this matter is resolved, the merfolk will let my daughter go.” Si’s father looked tired, but his eyes, fixed on Yan Zhen, were sharp. “Now I’ve done everything I can. When will Si Lan wake up?”

The Si family has already lost Si Xia; they cannot afford to lose Si Lan as well.

“It’s possible now, but…” Yan Zhen thought of Si Lan’s temper. If she woke up now and learned what had happened while she was unconscious, she would probably be furious.

Moreover, Si Lan was so good to Si Xia, and any one of the things I did against her wishes would be enough for her to give me a severe dressing down.

Whether it was because he didn't want to see Si Lan lose her temper or out of a desire to avoid her, Yan Zhen said, "Tomorrow I will give you the injection that can wake Si Lan up. To avoid any unforeseen complications, you'd better give her the injection once you're abroad."

Mr. Si knew his eldest daughter's personality well, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Si's father asked again, "Do you want to come with us?"

The soul in this body is no longer his daughter's; Si's father knows very well that he cannot decide whether she stays or goes.

But whether she wanted to go with the Si family or not, Si's father supported her decision.

"I won't go," Yan Zhen said.

In the past, when carrying out missions in other worlds, my identity has been exposed before.

Once her identity is exposed, she will try her best to avoid living with the original owner's family.

Si's father looked somber and said in a low voice, "I won't tell Si Lan and Xia Xia's mother the truth. If possible, please help me keep it a secret."

"no problem."

When Yan Zhen came out of the study, Si's mother urged her to pack her things quickly.

Yan Zhen subtly expressed her desire to stay in Shengjing and not go with them.

As expected, Si's mother refused to let her youngest daughter stay in Shengjing alone, and it was only after Si's father intervened that she reluctantly agreed.

But when she thought about how her youngest daughter had no relatives to take care of her, Si's mother couldn't help but cry.

Yan Zhen and Si's father took turns comforting her for a long time before she slowly stopped crying.

After finally calming down Si's mother, Yan Zhen was about to return to her room when she heard a soft "click" sound coming from Si Lan's room as she passed by.

Yan Zhen immediately became alert.

She walked quickly over and pushed open the door to the room.

The only person in the room was Si Lan, who was lying unconscious on the bed. The window was wide open, and the wind was blowing in.

Yan Zhen closed the door behind him and went to check on Si Lan's condition first.

As she approached, she noticed a purple fish scale on the edge of the bed.

Assaya?

The fish scales were still stained with blood, and Yan Zhen's heart tightened.

She immediately lifted the blanket and picked Si Lan up, carefully examining her from head to toe. Finally, she found a thin wound on her carotid artery.

It didn't look like a cut; it looked more like someone had pressed fish scales against his neck and caused it.

After putting Si Lan back on the bed, Yan Zhen took the fish scale and walked to the window, where he found half a shoe print on the windowsill.

She stood by the window and looked out, her gaze quickly locking onto the figure standing outside the villa.

The person was wearing a black hoodie, a hat, and a mask, and was standing under a streetlight.

Backlit, Yan Zhen couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from his build, it was undoubtedly Asya.

Asaya seemed to notice her gaze and looked up at her location from a distance.

Then he withdrew his gaze and turned away.

As Yan Zhen watched his shadow slowly lengthen under the streetlights, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it's unclear why Asaya spared Si Lan's life despite taking action, Si Lan's life is temporarily saved.

-

The next morning, Yan Zhen saw off the Si family of three.

Before getting on the bus, she gave the injection to Mr. Si and carefully explained the usage and dosage.

Si's father put away the injection, patted her shoulder, and looked at her as if he were looking through her at his own daughter: "Take care of yourself."

"I will."

After the Si family left, Yan Zhen contacted Wei Shucheng, and together with Nolan, they met up with the people in charge of negotiations and headed to the eastern coast of Shengjing.

The merfolk did not want to get too close to the shore, so the negotiation took place more than 20 kilometers offshore, and the person in charge of the negotiation had to go out to sea by boat.

After some arrangements, more than ten fishing boats and speedboats carrying armed special police officers set sail.

Upon arriving at the sea area designated by the mermaids, the group patiently waited until it was completely dark before turning on the ship's lights.

Time passed second by second, and in the distance, mermaids emerged from the sea and swam towards them.

The people on the ship immediately became alert.

When the mermaid swam closer, Yan Zhen saw his face clearly and realized it was Asaya.

Asaya stopped in front of the speedboat that Yan Zhen and Nolan were riding, looked up at Nolan, and said something to him about the way the merfolk communicated.

Nolan hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward.

Yan Zhen asked, "What did he say to you?"

As Nolan took off his clothes, he said, "The chieftain has arrived and wants me to go down so he can pass on a message."
