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

Chapter 385 The Bride of the Sea God (44)

at noon.

Yan Zhen took Wei Shucheng to the airport to pick up Si's parents who had just gotten off the plane.

The two elders are almost sixty years old. Si's father is refined and gentle, and Si's mother has a kind face. Ever since Si Lan returned to China after graduating with her doctorate and took over the family business, they have gradually delegated power and handed the company over to their eldest daughter to manage.

Because Si's mother suffers from a chronic illness, Si's father took her abroad for treatment six months ago.

Neither of them expected their eldest daughter to suddenly have an accident.

Upon meeting Yan Zhen at the airport, Si's mother couldn't wait to ask, "Xiaxia, how badly is your sister injured? Is it serious? What exactly happened?"

Yan Zhen took the luggage from their hands: "We'll talk on the bus."

The car was parked in the underground parking lot. The group took the elevator downstairs. Wei Shucheng put the luggage in the trunk, while Yan Zhen opened the door of the van.

Just as Si's mother was about to get into the car, she discovered that someone was already sitting in the back.

A handsome and refined young man.

Seeing the surprised look in Si Ma's eyes, Nolan smiled at her and greeted her, "Hello."

“Hello…” Aunt Si snapped out of her daze and turned to ask Yan Zhen, “Xiaxia, who is this…”

“My friend,” Yan Zhen said. “I’ll explain to you later.”

Wei Shucheng drove, Yan Zhen sat in the passenger seat, and Nolan and Si's parents sat in the back.

On the way to Si Lan's house, Yan Zhen told her the whole story of Si Lan's "attack" - the Si family had killed too many mermaids, which led to the mermaids retaliating. Si Lan was poisoned by a mermaid at home last night and is currently unconscious.

Si's father asked, "Was he taken to the hospital? What did the doctor say?"

"We didn't take her to the hospital. We had her family doctor come to examine her and draw blood for testing. He said my sister had been injected with a toxin from the ocean, and there is currently no antidote."

Mrs. Si hurriedly asked, "Why didn't you take him to the hospital?"

Wei Shucheng chimed in, "Madam Chairman, it was my suggestion not to send him to the hospital. Last week, the company was already in the spotlight because of the allergy incident involving the mermaid product. If we sent the president to the hospital at this time and the media saw it, who knows what kind of rumors would spread."

Miss Si and I confirmed with authoritative doctors repeatedly that the CEO is currently only in a coma and his life is not in danger, which is why we dared to let him stay at home.

Si's parents exchanged a glance, both with solemn expressions.

Si's father asked, "So the allergy to mermaid products isn't a rumor, it's real?"

Yan Zhen nodded, then hesitated, "Yes, and..."

"And what?"

"And this is just the beginning; the mermaids' revenge plan goes far beyond this." Yan Zhen recounted the mermaids' original intention to release an ancient virus into the human world.

Upon hearing this, Si Ma's expression changed drastically.

Si's father was also shocked, but he quickly calmed down and asked in confusion, "The kind of highly contagious and deadly virus you mentioned hasn't been released and spread in the human world yet. How do you know this?"

Yan Zhen turned his gaze to Nolan, who was sitting next to Si Ma.

Seeing this, the two elders followed her gaze and looked at Nolan.

Nolan, who was being watched, blinked.

“He told me,” Yan Zhen said. “He is a mermaid.”

Mrs. Si was startled: "Huh?"

"Mom, don't be afraid. He's different from other mermaids," Yan Zhen comforted her. "He's my son, and he only listens to me. If he hadn't betrayed the mermaid race and risked being beaten to death to tell me this, humanity would be in trouble now."

"My sister, knowing the mermaids planned revenge against humans, sent three ocean-going ships with hundreds of high-end ultrasonic devices to wipe out the mermaid race, which is why she was poisoned in retaliation."

Even so, Si's parents still looked wary at Nolan, who was so close to them.

When they arrived at Si Lan's house, Si Lan's mother saw Si Lan lying unconscious on the bed. She felt heartbroken and distressed, and tears streamed down her face.

"What should we do? Did the doctor say when your sister will wake up?"

Yan Zhen shook his head: "It's hard to say. She might wake up in a few days, or it might take several months. If the situation isn't optimistic, she might never..."

Yan Zhen didn't continue speaking, but Si's mother understood and sat on the edge of the bed, bursting into tears.

"Actually, there's another way that might save my sister's life," Yan Zhen said.

Si's parents immediately asked, "What's the solution?"

"I discussed this with Wei Shucheng. The merfolk infiltrated my sister's house and had the opportunity to kill her, but they only injected her with this non-lethal toxin. There were two reasons for this."

First, they wanted to teach my sister a lesson; second, they wanted to use my sister's life as leverage to negotiate with us.

"How to say?"

"The three ocean-going ships that my sister sent carried all the mermaids currently in the research institute, more than a hundred in total. She planned to kill these mermaids when she arrived at the mermaid's nest to intimidate the mermaid race. This move angered the mermaid race, so they wanted to teach my sister a lesson."

"As for negotiating terms, last night I reviewed all the data on the company's mermaid products from research and development to the present. As the first company in China to develop and research mermaid products, Sijia has killed more than 400,000 mermaids in the past sixty years."

This number is the highest not only in the country, but in the world. Therefore, the Si family will be targeted by the mermaids. If we stop hunting mermaids, shut down our mermaid merchandise business, and have Nolan communicate with the mermaids, I'm confident we can obtain an antidote for my sister.

Si's father remained silent.

Yan Zhen and Wei Shucheng exchanged a quick glance, patiently waiting for him to make a decision.

"This matter is of great importance, and I need time to consider it," said Si's father.

The mermaid industry constitutes one-third of the Si family's existing assets. If it is shut down abruptly, the Si family may collapse.

"Okay, please think it over carefully, but there is something that requires your immediate decision."

Yan Zhen casually put his hand into his coat pocket. "The ocean-going vessel has been sailing for four days. According to their route and speed, they should reach the waters where the mermaids live as early as tomorrow. As the chairman of the Si family, please order the ocean-going vessel to turn back to Shengjing immediately to prevent the situation from deteriorating further."

Si's father looked up at Yan Zhen, the muscles at the corner of his eye twitching slightly.

Yan Zhen's gaze remained unwavering.

The father and daughter looked at each other for a few seconds, then the father took out his phone, turned around, and went to the balcony to make a call.

Yan Zhen listened intently as he listened to the instructions given to the person on the other end of the phone. Only after confirming that the order was for the ocean-going vessel to stop and turn back did he release the two vials of toxic injection fluid from his pocket.

When Si's father returned after making the call, he rubbed his temples in frustration: "Whether to shut down the mermaid business or not, I'll have a meeting with the board of directors at the company this afternoon, and I'll let you know the result after we've discussed it."

"it is good."

"Take your mother home to rest," said Si's father. "Xiao Wei, take me to the company. You can arrange the meeting."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Nolan suddenly said, "Uncle, let me take you there."

Si's father was taken aback.

Yan Zhen was also taken aback.

But then she understood Nolan's intention and didn't say anything to stop him.
