Quick Wear: The Law of Salvation of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 296: Mermaid Egg Hatching in Progress 10

After laughing and joking, Shen Jinghua seemed to remember something important. He patted his head and said excitedly to Jiang Ze, "By the way, Jiang Ze, we have to give this little guy a nice name. Let me think about it..."

However, just as Shen Jinghua frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, a clear and pleasant sound like the sound of nature suddenly reached their ears.

It was the sweet voice of a mermaid baby, which instantly attracted the attention of both of them.

Xie Qi's small hands tightly grasped the corner of Jiang Ze's clothes. He tried to raise his head, blinking his big watery eyes, and staring straight at Jiang Ze.

Then, he slowly uttered two words, "Thank you... Qi..."

After hearing this, Jiang Ze couldn't help but stand there in a daze. He lowered his head with suspicion and stared at the little mermaid in his arms.

Then he asked in an extremely gentle and patient tone: "What did you just say?"

Xie Qi opened his mouth again and repeated clearly: "...Xie Qi..."

However, when the little mermaid said the word for the second time, Jiang Ze and Shen Jinghua were still very confused.

After all, what Xie Qi said was not a common word, so they really couldn't understand what meaning it contained.

At this moment, Shen Jinghua, who was standing by, suddenly had an idea. He clapped his hands excitedly and shouted loudly, "I understand! He must be speaking the language of the mermaids. Crab navel? ... Crab's belly button! Oh my, it turns out our little cutie is hungry and wants to eat crab!"

After hearing these remarks, Xie Qi, who had been expecting him to truly understand, suddenly frowned. At this moment, Xie Qi was even more speechless towards Shen Jinghua.

Xie Qi took a deep breath, then he stretched out his finger, first pointing at Jiang Ze, and said: "Jiang... Ze..." Although the pronunciation was still a little immature, it was clear that people could hear that it was Jiang Ze.

Then, Xie Qi turned his finger towards himself, with an innocent smile on his face, and said to Jiang Ze: "Xie Qi..."

Finally, Xie Qi placed his finger on Shen Jinghua. He had a blank expression on his face and slowly uttered two words, "Nervous..."

"Crazy?! My name is Shen Jinghua, not crazy!"

The moment he heard this name, Shen Jinghua was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

When Xie Qi pointed at people and called out their names one by one, Shen Jinghua already had a premonition and guessed that Xie Qi should be his own name.

But what he never expected was that when it was his turn, his name would be pronounced as "nervous".

But soon, Shen Jinghua took a deep breath and tried to calm the surging emotions in his heart.

He silently told himself: "It's okay, it's okay. The baby is still young, so it's inevitable that he will speak unclearly. Besides, my name has three characters, and the baby may only be able to say two characters now. This is normal."

After a few more days, the ship they were on finally began its journey back to land.

When they arrived at the nearshore area, Shen Jinghua could no longer contain his excitement. He anxiously grabbed his mobile phone and quickly dialed Li Ci's number.

The moment the call was connected, he couldn't wait to say, "Dear, have you seen the pictures I sent you? Isn't my son very cute? Hehe..."

However, after seeing the picture of the little mermaid above, the person on the other end of the phone did not sound as joyful as he had imagined.

Instead, there was a trace of hard-to-conceal sadness and deep fatigue: "So, you really found the mermaid? This is not a rumor?"

Hearing this, Shen Jinghua's heart tightened, and he immediately sensed something was amiss. He slowly put away his bright smile, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that? What rumors? What exactly happened?"

After a moment's silence, Li Ci took a deep breath and replied solemnly, "Baby, everyone on land knows that your ship N has discovered mermaids. And it's said that some people on board seem to have their eyes on mermaids and are planning to study them..."

"The mermaid just hatched not long ago. How could the people on land get the news so quickly? Besides, research? What on earth do they want to do? Have they forgotten how the mermaids became extinct? Now they are actually thinking about the mermaids again!" Shen Jinghua became more and more angry as he spoke, and his voice unconsciously rose a lot.

"Your ship may have a spy from the Wang family, who was the one who leaked the information to mainland China. Now the Wang family and the Zheng family have formed an alliance to conduct research experiments on mermaids. We are currently trying to stop them and have submitted a proposal opposing them to the higher-ups."

After hearing this, Shen Jinghua was immediately furious and trembling with anger. Without saying a word, he immediately ran towards the laboratory.

As he walked, he kept muttering, "They're traitors! Our Shen family has spent so much money and resources to train them, and yet they still dare to betray us! They're ungrateful!"

"Tell my father that no matter what those guys up there are up to, this mermaid was discovered by Jiang Ze, so it should belong to our Shen family. I won't hand it over. What do the Wang family count for?"

As for why it is said that the mermaid discovered by Jiang Ze belongs to the Shen family, the reason is simple, because Jiang Ze is the adopted son of the Shen family.

Due to various crises that have erupted on Earth, a serious gap between the rich and the poor has arisen, and social classes have gradually become severely polarized.

The city is naturally divided into rich areas and poor areas.

Jiang lost both his parents when he was young and has been living in a poor area with difficult conditions and a harsh environment.

That year, the Shen family decided to conduct a field investigation on a project, so they drove to the poor area.

At the time, Shen Jinghua, a mischievous and curious child of seven years old, took advantage of the adults' busy schedule to hide in the trunk of a car and eventually fell asleep there.

When the car stopped in the poor area, Shen Jinghua was awakened and quietly got out of the car. However, he did not immediately confess his behavior to his father, but instead crept behind his father.

But how could a child possibly keep up with the hurried pace of adults? Before long, Shen Jinghua gradually fell behind the group and became separated from his father.

When he came to his senses and tried to find his parked car again, he was horrified to find that he had completely lost his way and could not even remember the way back.

Just like that, seven-year-old Shen Jinghua got lost in this unfamiliar and impoverished place. In just a week, the pampered and elegantly dressed young master had become a ragged and tattered beggar.

At this moment, nine-year-old Jiang Ze accidentally found Shen Jinghua squatting on the roadside and crying loudly. Finally, Jiang Ze took him back to his dilapidated little house.

Jiang Ze took out the little food in the house and shared it with Shen Jinghua to fill his stomach. During the conversation, Jiang Ze learned that the person in front of him was a child from a wealthy area.

Although he was still young, Jiang Ze knew that it would be difficult for Shen Jinghua to survive in the slum, so he decided to take Shen Jinghua away from the slum.

The two of them lived together for two months before Jiang Ze brought Shen Jinghua to the wealthy area. After arriving in the wealthy area, Jiang Ze found the missing person notices everywhere on the wall.

The protagonist in the missing person notice was Shen Jinghua, who was squatting at Jiang Ze's feet and eating dry bread.

Jiang Ze asked for directions according to the address in the missing person notice and found the Shen family.

After learning about their son's experience, the Shen family decided to adopt Jiang Ze without hesitation in order to repay Jiang Ze's kindness.

Eventually, the Shen family gradually discovered Jiang Ze's hidden talent. They then spared no effort in investing resources to train him, providing him with the best learning environment and development opportunities.

With the full support of the Shen family, Jiang Ze finally achieved remarkable achievements through his own efforts and became the professor he is today.

Therefore, in Jiang Ze's heart, the Shen family has done him a favor, and the Shen family also treats him like a family member.
