Chapter 218 Let her go
After hanging up the phone, Jing Weimian looked down and noticed that Jing Xiaoyu's webbed feet were nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

The little guy's two pinkish-blue ear fins on either side of his hair were also twitching slightly.

Jing Weimian recalled the information about mermaids that she had learned from the research institute, and softened her tone as she asked.

"Did you hear me, baby?"

“Pollution…riots…Your Highness…”

Jing Xiaoyu jotted down a few keywords in a rudimentary way.

After haltingly repeating the words, he couldn't help but raise his head and ask:
"Is Mom going to leave me again... to go to work?"

Jing Weimian blinked apologetically and nodded slightly with difficulty.

Sincerely apologize to her baby.

"I'm so sorry, baby. I just picked you up and all this happened."

"Mom promises you, after I've dealt with this, I'll definitely take a long vacation to spend time with you, okay?"

After listening with a pout, Jing Xiaoyu nestled into her neck and hugged it tightly with her little hands.

She buried her little face in it, nuzzling and rubbing against it affectionately.

After a long while, she reluctantly agreed in a childish voice.

"Good."

Jing Weimian rubbed the little cub's head and nuzzled him affectionately for a while.

It wasn't until Chen Yan called again to urge them on that they finally stopped.

Knowing that the situation in the North District was far more dangerous than she had imagined, Jing Weimian didn't even have time to stay for dinner and had to entrust her child to her parents' care again.

On the surface, the Marshal's wife was all smiles, letting her husband stay with the children. Before she came out alone to see Jing Weimian off on the starship, her expression turned somewhat serious.

“Mianmian, you must be careful. Your father and I just received intelligence from the North District. This pollution incident may not be so simple. You must be careful.”

Before leaving, Jing Weimian saw her mother looking at her with worry.

He then went over and hugged his mother, gently patting her shoulder and back to comfort her.

"I understand, Mother. I will be careful. I'm leaving the baby in your care, Father."

"Don't worry, your father and I will take good care of Xiaoyu."

They said their goodbyes.

Jing Weimian then boarded the starship and set sail directly to the North District to rendezvous with the fleet.

"After the incident, His Highness Perseus immediately sealed off several star sectors where the contamination originated, and all the injured from the contaminated riots have been sent to the medical department for isolation—"

Just as the deputy general beside her finished speaking, Chen Yan arrived with the latest news and came to Jing Weimian's side.

Seeing his panicked expression, Jing Weimian knew something more serious had happened, so she frowned and asked.

"what happened?"

As Chen Yan turned on the light screen, he urgently said:
"Contaminated organisms have appeared in the sealed-off D area, which are undetectable by the military's detectors. I heard that General Qin's daughter, Qin Mengtong, was also accidentally caught up in the D area and was unable to evacuate in time."

"His Highness Platinum has just learned of this and has personally entered the sealed-off D area to rescue people..."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Jing Weimian's expression changed abruptly.

"Has His Highness Perth entered the sealed-off star sector?"

"Yes, I just confirmed it."

With a sullen face, Jing Weimian stepped directly onto the armored vehicle parked on the side and sat in the driver's seat.

Chen Yan, who was following closely behind, was taken aback upon seeing this: "General?"

He was just about to remind the general that he was sitting in the wrong seat.

The next second, Jing Weimian was seen quickly putting on a black protective suit while issuing a rapid order:
"Chen Yan, you and Zuo Ling will each lead the fleet members to strictly guard the entrances and exits of the blockade area and prevent anyone from approaching."

Chen Yan and Zuo Ling obeyed the order.

"General, then you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jing Weimian slammed the car door shut and sped away in the armored vehicle. His destination was Sector D.

Because of Jing Weimian's status, her armored vehicle passed through unimpeded, and no one dared to stop her.

After entering Zone D, Jing Weimian drove along the central area where the pollution was most concentrated.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or something else.

Jing Weimian quickly and astutely noticed something unusual about the commercial high-rise building in front of the main road.

At the top corner of the high-rise building, a dark, unidentified object lurked there, and faint female cries could be heard coming from it.

As Jing Weimian drew closer, the girl's crying became clearer and clearer.

Jing Weimian had now basically confirmed that the girl being held hostage by that unidentified monster was Qin Mengtong.

She obtained information about the top floor structure of the high-rise building by looking at the building opposite, thus pinpointing Qin Mengtong's exact location.

They immediately took the elevator directly to the top floor.

The concealed firearm, removed from the waist, is already loaded and ready to go.

Relying on her memory, Jing Weimian sidestepped into the water tank located at the angle near the top floor, using it as cover to get closer to the past.

She aimed her gun precisely at the location of the unidentified monster that was constricting Qin Mengtong's body.

Having calculated the distance, he planned to shoot her down while quickly rushing over to pull Qin Mengtong back.

But at this crucial juncture, something completely unexpected happened to Jing Weimian.

The water tank in front of her was also a smokescreen for that unknown monster.

The water tank vanished into a cloud of black mist right before her eyes.

Along with the short gun in her hand, it was also turned into black smoke.

Black mist swirled around her, giving her no chance to react before violently dragging her to the edge of the rooftop at an angle.

"General Jing... help me, help me, waaaaah..."

When Qin Mengtong saw that the person being dragged over by the monster was the legendary General Jing, she felt as if she had seen a savior and cried as she begged for help.

Jing Weimian gripped the unknown tentacle that was fiercely constricting her with one hand, while her other hand was secretly gathering spiritual energy in her palm.

Upon hearing this, she did not immediately make a move, but instead faced the vortex where the black mist was gathering, her eyes turning cold:

"Release her, and I'll be your hostage!"

But what Jing Weimian didn't expect was...

Just as she finished speaking, the vortex of black mist emitted a chilling, ghostly laugh:
"Release her? How could that be your decision..."

"Percy, aren't you coming out yet?"

Jing Weimian paused slightly upon hearing the words "Platinum".

She then saw Prince Perth, dressed in a dark blue military uniform, appear at the top floor exit.

His face was cold and indifferent as he watched this scene.

There was no visible emotional fluctuation.

That vortex of black mist was still laughing eerily:

"Pers, I'm giving you a chance to choose. You can choose."

"I will release whoever you choose to save."

Jing Weimian frowned, clearly feeling that the spiritual energy in her palms was about to be fully charged.

She was about to tell Lu Lianbai not to worry about her and to have Qin Mengtong evacuated from the area first.

However, before she could utter a sound...

Without even glancing at her, and without the slightest hesitation, Perth turned to Qin Mengtong and coldly said:

"Let her go."
