"I will investigate the truth of the matter, but Your Royal Highness should be careful with your words."
"I don't think I need to teach you what to say and what not to say."
"Don't try to challenge my patience, and don't test my bottom line. You can't afford to pay the price."
Her tone was gentle, and it didn't feel like she was threatening people at all.
She stood up, straightened out her clothes, and continued with a smile, "Then, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I wish Your Royal Highness a pleasant evening."
There were some things that she didn't need to ask again. She already knew the answer.
At the door, August was still standing outside like a door-god, with his back straight, as if nothing could knock him down.
"You're not allowed to see him alone in the future." August held her in his arms and said unhappily.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get away before, how could he let Xunmi go see that guy alone?
Xunmi nodded immediately. "Well, I have nothing to do with him, so I definitely won't come to see him again."
"Besides, even if you have something to do with him, he's not as important as my dear August, right?"
During this period of time, XunMi had also learned sweet words and honeyed phrases perfectly. Coaxing August was a piece of cake.
Sure enough, after hearing Xunmi's words, August was happy, and the smile on his face became bigger.
Xunmi took the opportunity to repeat what Anson said to him. She was now a little unsure of the role August's grandfather played in this.
After all, the first generation of the Mermaid Academy's dean was also involved in the matter of the deep sea mermaids. She didn't know how long Grandpa Andrew had been the dean, and she didn't know if he was once clean.
If she really had to choose, she would ask her husband's opinion.
"I'll ask Grandpa for you." August thought about it and said after listening.
He could guess that Chouer must be very entangled now. As a good husband, how could he embarrass his wife?
Xunmi breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay." She smiled and nodded.
Holding August's hand and walking in this quiet fashion street, Xunmi had the illusion that she had returned to her own world, because the structure here was somewhat similar.
Other than the robots that came and went, there didn't seem to be any difference.
It was late when they reached home. Angus sent a message to his grandfather on the way.
In the end, he didn't get an answer from the old man. When he got home, he found someone sitting in the living room.
It was Dean Andrew Ludwig whom they had been looking for. Xunmi and Angus looked at each other and walked in.
"You guys are back. Really, you made me wait for so long."
Andrew put down the teacup heavily. His heart was stifled. He had been drinking water alone for half a day. His stomach was almost full. How could he be happy?
"You didn't say you were coming, and you didn't even inform us that you were coming. How would we know that you were coming?"
Angus said calmly, blocking his father's dissatisfaction at once.
Andrew sulkily rubbed his nose, fiercely glared at Angus, and couldn't help but mutter.
'As expected, he's forgotten about his grandfather after getting a wife. He doesn't love his grandfather at all.'
"I've never loved anyone!" Angus pressed Xunmi to sit on the opposite sofa, dropped a sentence that completely hit the old man, and went to the kitchen.
After a while, he brought out a fruit platter and Xunmi's favorite chocolate, and skillfully fed her.
Regardless of whether there was a single old man who needed care, he directly ignored him as air.
Andrew was so angry that he stomped his feet. This stinky boy was not cute at all, not cute at all!
"Grandpa Andrew, what are you doing here?" Xunmi pressed Angus's movements and asked with a smile.
She guessed that the old man was probably here because of the previous question, but she didn't know what his purpose was.
Andrew was suddenly awakened by the business. He sat upright and still, with a serious face.
"What do you mean by the news you gave me? Do you want to investigate the matter of the deep-sea mermaids?"
Angus rarely saw his grandfather so serious. Once he was serious, it meant that this matter was very important.
He put down the fork in his hand. "Yes, Grandpa, you are the dean of the Mermaid Academy. What does it have to do with the former Mermaid Research Institute?"
His grandfather was also a top expert at that time, and now he was more than a thousand years old.
But in recent years, his grandfather had aged very quickly, and probably had a maximum of fifty or sixty years of life left.
Andrew's eyes flashed with a touch of anger. "Why are you investigating the deep-sea mermaids? That's already a record in history."
"Do what you should do, and don't touch what you shouldn't do."
That was a curse, a curse for the deep-sea mermaids and him.
Sure enough, there was no free lunch in this world. Humans were like this, and so were the deep-sea mermaids.
Xunmi suddenly heard the hatred in Andrew's tone, which was very slight.
"Grandpa Andrew, I think you should know a little. Can you tell me if you were involved in the research of the deep-sea mermaids?"
"I don't have to ask about other things, and I don't want Angus to get involved. I just want to verify it."
In this way, I can do what I should do without scruples. The persistence in Xunmi's eyes was not weak at all, and she would not back down.
Andrew was just stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xunmi with some trembling eyes. His eyes were complicated. "You … you are a deep-sea mermaid!"
Unexpectedly, when he was about to accept his fate, he saw a deep-sea mermaid again. It seemed that God was on his side.
Xunmi did not nod or shake her head, but her indifferent expression had already told Andrew that the answer was yes.
"Deep-sea mermaids, the darling of the ocean, the continuation of life, but the disaster of human beings."
With a sigh of disappointment, Andrew's shrewd eyes instantly became cloudy.
"The disaster of human beings?" Xunmi wondered what was going on.
Why did she feel that the development of things was getting more and more out of line? She didn't want a reversal in the end, saying that everything was the fault of the deep-sea mermaids.
Then she would really laugh, and then directly blow up the human beings and get the hell out of here.
Andrew sighed and talked about things from a long time ago.
"I do know about the former mermaid research institute, and I also participated in it, but it was on the side of the white experiment."
"The laboratory is divided into the white experiment and the red experiment. The white experiment is aimed at human health, longevity, genes, and so on."
"The red experiment is aimed at mermaids, transforming girls into mermaids, increasing their antibodies and giving them a stronger survival force."
"Everything was good until the child born of the first deep-sea mermaid who mated with a human didn't live past 30 years old. At first, everyone thought it was just an accident."
"But when the second and third … everyone knew that something had happened."
"Then, those mermaids who were genetically modified from deep-sea mermaids gradually had accidents."
"It took hundreds of years of continuous tossing and turning before we knew where the problem was."
