On the morning of the same day, Yan Yi didn’t go to work either. He stayed at home and kept an eye on the news headlines until the first news about the destruction of a cultivation base in Red Fox City appeared. He clicked it instantly and saw that experts said that the extreme weather and thunderstorm that occurred once in a millennium in the early morning was the root cause of the bombing of the cultivation base. Yan Yi stretched his shoulders, told the Tech Department to keep an eye on the media reports, and closed the computer.
Lu Shangjin had a rare vacation. He was leaning on the sofa to watch TV news, where various news stations were also reporting the major events in Red Fox City.
“…” Lu Shangjin took a sip of water. “This kid, he ran off to do something big without saying a word. When I brought him back, you insisted that he would do well as a secret agent. Now look at him causing trouble just like our baby rabbit. With such a meticulous mind, he should follow me to learn how to run a company early on, his talent is wasted.”
“You mean to follow you and learn how to hide a knife behind one’s smile, hypocrisy, and self-indulgence? But he has indeed taken your temper a little bit.” Yan Yi poured a glass of milk and sat next to Lu Shangjin, who put his arm around his shoulders. “That’s a hurtful thing to say, but I quite like it.”
“But it is true that Rimbaud’s experience is difficult for a child to accept. Now that I think about this, Xiao Bai was also born in the training base, so he may have suffered as much as Rimbaud, but this time, he has violated the rules. How do you plan to deal with it?”
“I’m still thinking about it.” Yan Yi stared at the scene of the ruins that had been burned and collapsed in the news. “But someone has to do it, even if it’s not him, it would be another secret agent. The Red Fox City’s cultivation base is under the research institute, but the core of the research institute will not be shaken in one day. It’s just that Xiao Bai’s methods are too cruel, and I have to sharpen my mind before I can rest assured.”
Lu Shangjin sneered, “My side is going very well, and the goods from the research institute should not be able to go out for a while. The experimental subjects consume a lot of resources, and a reduction in production is inevitable. Sooner or later, they will start selling. Coupled with the annihilation of the Red Fox City cultivation base, it is even worse. Getting eaten from the inside is even more uncomfortable to swallow down, Aileen should have already realized it.”
In the afternoon, Yan Yi went to the bathroom to take a bath. Lu Shangjin called Lu Yan and got in touch after several dials. He hadn’t seen him for several days, and he was always anxious during that time.
Yan Yi’s mobile phone on the table rang, and Lu Shangjin stopped by to take a look while on the phone. He saw that the sender was actually Rimbaud.
“What does he mean with broke 3?” Lu Shangjin clicked on the picture and looked at it.
The photo was quite dark, Xiao Bai was lying on the bed deeply asleep, naked, with bloody wounds all over his face and body. They were neither scratches nor gunshot wounds, seriously, that meant it was Rimbaud who gave him a beating.
“Hey, Yan Yan,” Lu Shangjin picked up his phone and went to the bathroom, “Look, your son let the fish spank him.”
Yan Yi leaned out half of his body to take a look and frowned.
In the evening, there was heavy rain outside the house, with a pattering sound coming from the glass windows. Although the curtains were only half hung, there was no sunlight outside the windows, and the bedroom was dark.
Rimbaud was lying on his side, with his hands on the alpha’s head nestled in his arms. Bai Chunian was in a deep sleep, the even breath sprayed lightly on his chest, giving off warmth.

After discovering that Bai Chunian had left the apartment in the middle of the night, Rimbaud received a call from Yan Yi, asking him to come to the headquarters overnight to meet and discuss with him.
Yan Yi turned the computer to him and played a video from the beginning. The video was muted and blurred, which left enough respect for Rimbaud, but as the party involved, Rimbaud knew what the video was recording at a glance.
Yan Yi said that Bai Chunian had watched this video at the beginning of June, but that was all that Duan Yang told him. Bai Chunian was very smart, he divided his actions into multiple parts and his cooperating partners didn’t know what he was doing at all. Duan Yang couldn’t even tell what Bai Chunian planned to do.
If Rimbaud hadn’t gone around the arsenal of the secret room in the bedroom and accidentally found the calendar marked by Bai Chunian, Bai Chunian might really have fooled everyone’s eyes. No one could say for sure that he did it because there was no proof.
Yan Yi originally planned to send secret agents to intercept Bai Chunian, but Yan Yi also knew that if Bai Chunian really planned the whole plan meticulously, then no one would be able to stop him. If there was a clash with the IOA Secret Service, at that time, even if he wanted to defend Xiao Bai, it would be impossible.
Therefore, Yan Yi told Rimbaud all the stakes and asked him to bring Xiao Bai back.
Rimbaud looked down at the alpha’s defenseless sleeping face squeezed in his arms. The ruler wound on his face was still a little swollen. He had carefully looked at this face many times. Bai Chunian’s nose bridge was not so high when he was a child. He often pinched it to make it taller. He also liked the pair of upturned cat eyes. It seemed difficult to tame, but it was attractive.
Because the alpha liked to cling to him, expressing love in his ear all the time, Rimbaud misunderstood his love because believers always ask for something when they express their worship to him.
In the sea, the fish begged him for reproduction and survival, the merfolk race asked for health and beauty, the human beings prayed for rain and a good harvest, and the sailors hoped to avoid the disaster of the sea.
“What is it that you want?” Rimbaud bowed his head close to him and pressed his lips between his forehead and hair.
After a while, he sat up from the bed and looked down at his tail.
There were tens of thousands of scales on his fishtail. He had never checked them one by one since he was born, but all the sirens in the past had a very distinctive scale. If there was no accident, the siren would live forever. When a new siren was born, the previous one would retreat into the deep sea and never reappear, leaving only a scale on Merfolk Island to commemorate that he once led this group.
His slender fingers rubbed along his scales and as his fingertips passed, the scales lit up one by one with a blue glow. The light slowly went out after his fingertips passed, but one scale suddenly lit up and while the others dimmed, it was still flickering, like it would never go out.
“Oh, it’s here.” Rimbaud stuck his nails into the crevices of the scales, tilted it, and pulled it over fully along the edge connected to the flesh. Usually, he did things casually and roughly, but this time he was careful for once.
However, the scale was extremely strong and Rimbaud failed to pull it out after trying several times, so he pinched the edge of the scale with both hands and plucked it violently.
The scale did come off, but Rimbaud leaned back his whole fish body, knocking Bai Chunian who was already sleeping on the edge of the bed to the floor.
It was too painful, Rimbaud bit his lip to keep quiet and pressed his finger on the bleeding fishtail to relieve the pain. He didn’t pay attention to Bai Chunian for a moment, and the pain subsided after a while.
He turned his back to the edge of the bed and looked back after heaving a sigh of relief. Bai Chunian was not on the bed. He was squatting on the edge of the bed while peeping at Rimbaud from the edge of the bed, and his plush ears were pressed down on his head as if he had made a mistake.
From Bai Chunian’s point of view, after he fell asleep, Rimbaud became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and finally, he couldn’t stand it anymore so he got up to beat him up.
Rimbaud, “What are you doing?”
Bai Chunian whispered, “I dare not speak.”
“Here.” Rimbaud handed over a scale and stretched it out in front of Bai Chunian.
But the first thing Bai Chunian saw was his scaleless spot on the fishtail, he stood up, climbed onto the bed, and touched the slightly swollen edge. “It’s all bald, what are you doing pulling it out?” He drenched his fingers in saliva from his mouth and spread it on Rimbaud’s slightly bleeding wound.
“Stand up.” Rimbaud grabbed his arm and made him retreat under the bed and stand in front of him.
He was only wearing a pair of black boxers and the scars on his body were reddish and very noticeable on his white skin. Bai Chunian put his hands behind his back, no matter what Rimbaud wanted to do to him, he never resisted.
Rimbaud hooked his trouser with his fingertips, and pulled it down, revealing the skin of his hip bones, where the name he had engraved before was.
“Don’t move.” Rimbaud supported his leg, pressed his thumb on the thin lower abdomen with varicose blue blood vessels, found a suitable position, and inserted the end of the scale into his skin.
Bai Chunian hissed, but Rimbaud didn’t stop and pushed the scale inward until it was completely concealed under the skin, and then the wound started healing, covering the scale inside.
Touching through the skin, he could still feel a scale-shaped foreign body. When he moved, the scale would rub against the muscles inside, but miraculously, it would not make them inflamed. Instead, the wounds on his body showed a tendency to heal.
“It’s not erotic.” Rimbaud kissed his skin and said softly, “No wonder you are reluctant to leave the land. Love is attractive, I feel it.”
“I’m decorated like a Christmas tree by you.” Bai Chunian looked down at his whole body. However, merfolks did have the habit of decorating things. They attached beautiful conches and colorful shells to the things they like and inlay gems on the walls. Alpha mermaids usually looked even more dazzling than omega mermaids.
“But I still want that collar.” Bai Chunian sat on the bed, and gently squeezed Rimbaud’s fingers. “Give it back to me. I know I was wrong.”
Rimbaud pursed his lips and fell silent.
Bai Chunian looked at him in disappointment.
After a while, Bai Chunian got up from the bed, picked out a piece of clothing from the closet, and put it on.
“I’m going to confess my mistake to the president and apologize in person. He’s probably going to fire me.” Anyone who told such a big lie would feel guilty. As early as a few days ago, Duan Yang secretly told him that the matter had been exposed and the president had already grasped the truth. Although he knew the ins and outs, Bai Chunian did it resolutely. He was already mentally prepared to give up everything, even though it was painful.
If the president sent someone to arrest him, he would feel relieved, but he did not expect that Rimbaud would come to Red Fox City alone to find him. It showed that the chairman’s attitude was not decisive, making Bai Chunian feel even more guilty.
Bai Chunian walked to the door but was suddenly stopped by Rimbaud.
Rimbaud raised his hand and threw the Dead Sea Core Rock to him.
Bai Chunian caught the rock and stared blankly at Rimbaud.
“Although you are wrong, this is the first time someone has defended me like this and I feel like I’ve been healed.” Rimbaud stared at him, curving his eyes slightly. “Thank you.”
Bai Chunian did not expect that Rimbaud would go to the door with him to admit his mistake. He stood outside the door of the president’s villa, hovering his fingers on the doorbell for a while, and Rimbaud directly rang the doorbell.
The doorman used the intercom to ask who they were, and Rimbaud replied, “None of your business.” It was Rimbaud’s greatest respect for Yan Yi that he would ring the doorbell and walk through the main entrance.
After a while, the door opened, and Rimbaud wrapped his tail around the gate fence, and gently nudged Bai Chunian.
Bai Chunian closed his eyes, bravely walking in. Rimbaud quietly followed him, crawling along the wall.
It was Yan Yi who opened the door, Bai Chunian stopped outside the door, lowered his head slightly, and said sincerely, “President.”
Yan Yi glanced at them both. “Anyone seen you?”
Bai Chunian was startled and immediately shook his head. “I paid special attention when I came here, and no one noticed.”
“Um.”
Uncle Jin was also in the reception room. Although his face still managed to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, his eyes were already examining Rimbaud with great displeasure. Rimbaud was not afraid and returned with a look saying, “You should be flattered when I come to your humble house.”
Yan Yi didn’t keep them for long, only asking for some urgently needed information and told them to leave as soon as possible.
Before leaving, Yan Yi gave him a task letter and explained, “If you act without authorization, you will be punished. But remember, on the 24th, you were volunteering at the Fishing Festival at the seaside of Greenfly City, and you have never been to other places”
Bai Chunian’s voice choked a little, “Yes.”
At this time, Rimbaud had already gone out, Bai Chunian turned and walked out after him when he heard Yan Yi whispering behind him, “You have the IOA behind you, what are you afraid of?”
Bai Chunian forgot how he got out of the president’s house, his footsteps seemed to be a little erratic, he had already walked a long way when he suddenly remembered something and ran back. Hiding in the shadow of the corner, he faced the president’s house, raised his right hand, and put his hand up on the left chest, showing the Secret Service salute, symbolizing that there was no weapon in his hand and his heart was loyal.
Yan Yi, Lu Shangjin, and their baby boy Bai Chunian 🥺💕💕
