Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 431: Stopped in Time

“These scars… can be removed through surgery. Really, I used to have a very long scar on my face, but you see, it’s completely invisible now, right…?” Xu Weiwei suppressed the trembling in her voice and forced a smile.

"I know." Li Yan was very calm. "I just keep them on purpose so that I can always remind myself. When I want to give up countless times, as long as I see these scars, I can grit my teeth and persevere."

Xu Weiwei blinked quickly to dispel the moisture in her eyes. Her good friend had survived and did not need useless pity and sympathy.

Xu Weiwei shifted her attention, picked up the sweet soup beside the sink and drank two sips, then said to Li Yan: "It's not hot anymore, try it. It's sweet and delicious."

"Come on, let's drink! Drink this bowl of sweet soup and I wish our future life will be sweet instead of bitter!" Xu Weiwei made a generous speech and clinked bowls with Li Yan.

After drinking, the two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"A bowl of soup... You're so impressive that someone who doesn't know would think the bowl is filled with vodka... By the way, you just said you had a scar on your face. How did you get it?"

"This..." Xu Weiwei recalled, "It was a long, long time ago, when I was about four or five years old. I fought three hundred rounds with three human traffickers and this is what I got."

Li Yan was speechless: "Why don't you say it was left behind when you were wearing diapers in outer space to smash meteorites and save the Imperial Capital Star."

"Hahahahahaha!"

……

This weekend, Li Yan had a great time at Xu Weiwei's house. They went to the mountains for a picnic, picked fruits and made jam, went fishing by the river, and played games in the holographic world...

Li Yan found that the life of the nobility was not as extravagant as she had imagined. It was not only luxury cars, casinos, and blood and sweat competitions that made them happy, but also the entertainment of ordinary people. Moreover, they valued family activities more than ordinary people.

If there is a rating system to rate all families in the world, she thinks the Seaforth family should get 99.9 points. She doesn't know where the remaining 0.1 is deducted. It's her first time to meet them, so she doesn't want to give them too much.

At this time, the mermaid mentioned by Gantz had been sent back to its home planet, Mengmed, on a military starship.

The mermaid king was very angry and slapped him with his tail on the spot when he received the ship.

"You useless kelp! I heard about your trouble a long time ago, why did you come back?! Go find a place with no fish to feed the sharks!"

The male mermaid was whipped and flew five or six meters away, and rolled twice before stopping. Even though he was treated like this, he dared not breathe, and lowered his head to the ground, weakly calling out: "King..."

The military personnel watched all this with expressionless faces, neither trying to break up the fight nor saying anything to stop it.

The Mermaid King faced the officers who came from the Imperial Capital Star with a hint of apology and shame on his majestic face. At the beginning, he was full of confidence and guaranteed to send out the strongest mermaid warriors of the younger generation.

Unexpectedly, it was returned within two months. How could he save face?

"I know all the mistakes he made, and I won't cheat on the compensation I owe."

The officer shook his head and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Any training has a cost, and we will not haggle over this. What is urgent now is who will fill the vacancy."

"We will not leave for the time being. Please select a replacement as soon as possible and follow us back to the Imperial Capital Star."

Afraid of picking another person who is equally difficult to control, the man added anxiously: "In addition to force, control is also an important consideration. Being too bloodthirsty will bring trouble."

"I understand." The Mermaid King said in a deep voice.

In the patrol department of the main city of Mengmed, an adult male mermaid with red hair and heroic appearance was looking through files in the archive room.

When he was not on a mission, this was his favorite place to stay. Every time he came, he would only take out the same file. When the other boxes were covered with dust, only that one file was clean.

The file contained a shocking case, which was classified as the most confidential because it was too serious. Only the captain was qualified to view it.

Fish trafficking, fish body experiments, fish tendon extraction and scale removal... all kinds of unimaginable methods are there. And he just happens to be a character in this "horror movie".

Haisang turned the page and his eyes swept over the words that he had already memorized.

It was recorded that it was the Mermaid Guard who cracked the criminal gang and rescued hundreds of trapped mermaids. But Haisang knew that was not the case.

Without stopping at this page, he continued to flip to the end. In the corner of the page with the photos of the scene, a child was held on the shoulders of an adult, with a few strands of golden hair sticking out from the blanket. He looked no different from the other rescued mermaids.

But Haisan knew that she was not a mermaid. She was Selivere Seaforth, a human child. She was the one who saved his and his sister's lives.

Because it was too close to the side, the image of that position was somewhat blurred. If it wasn't so vivid in his memory, he wouldn't have recognized it.

The power of the Sifos family was too strong. They really wiped out a person who played a key role in the case. This was a good thing in his opinion. It was just that they wiped it out too cleanly. Apart from this vague corner, he had no other image to remember.

Haisang's fingers slowly and carefully fell on the girl's tightly wrapped head, and then gently stroked along her hair, as if he wanted to see something through the thin paper.

After being rescued, with the help of Uncle Selvie, the family was able to live in the main city. His mother got an easy job selling tickets at a scenic spot, and he and his sister went to the Mermaid School.

Later, with his own efforts, he was selected to join the Mermaid Guard. In every subsequent mission, he was fearless and brave, and became the captain.

He has always had an obsession in his heart, that is to see that person again. He doesn't know what to do or say after seeing the other person, he just wants to see him.

"Captain! Are you in there?" There was a knock on the archive room.

Haisang stood up, closed the file, stuffed it back into the cabinet, locked it, and walked out.

"what happened?"

"The minister said the king wants to see you and is waiting for you in the Sea Palace. You should go over quickly."
