Chapter 50

Jun Qingyu deliberated over it before he said, “Let’s go and take a look.”

“Are you interested in that Zerg egg?”

Jun Qingyu was stunned for a moment, “Do you know something about it?” He sat back once more. Judging from Fu Yuanchuan’s calm attitude, there should be some information that he knew.

“I just figured that the mermaid breeding base is a third party and will not oppose any orientation. They have their own set of rules for handling matters.”

Fu Yuanchuan said, “The rule of not accepting foreign mermaid eggs did not exist before.”

But he didn’t have any impression of exactly how long ago, “I will have Shi Kaixin to check when this rule came into effect later.”

Jun Qingyu nodded his head. This way, he could know when the mermaid breeding base had a problematic egg like this appearing.

Jun Qingyu couldn’t figure it out, “But if they knew that a mermaid egg would have a Zerg, why didn’t they announce this news?”

Although there were very few foreign mermaid eggs outside, it did not mean that there were none. If by any chance that they hatch it as a mermaid egg and what came out was a Zerg, that would be terrible.

Fu Yuanchuan said lightly, “Neutrality.”

Jun Qingyu: “……?”

This was already considered neutrality but with partiality to the imperial leader.

It seems that the position of the person behind this mermaid breeding base was not so stable.

Either way, the matter would not be exposed, and he would not be guilty of any crime and he could shirk responsibility.

As they were speaking the reception downstairs delivered their food.

Fu Yuanchuan said, “Let’s eat first, it will be a while before Yu Zhi wakes up.”

Jun Qingyu’s thoughts were all on that egg; he thought about the use of the egg while taking a bit of the grilled meat.

Even though it was a dead egg, it might be a favourable bargaining chip to counterbalance the mermaid breeding base if it was manipulated properly.

If the mermaid breeding base was really more inclined to the imperial leader’s side, necessary preparations were needed.

Jun Qingyu picked a piece of beef tenderloin for him and asked, “Yuanchuan, what are you going to do with that egg?”

“Do you want it?” Without Jun Qingyu having to say anymore, Fu Yuanchuan can easily guess the little fish’s line of thoughts.

Jun Qingyu smiled, “Then you’ll give it to me?”

“Yes, of course, I’ll give it to you.” There were many things that could be extended from that egg, amongst these, many would be implicated, but if the little fish wanted it, he would naturally give him.

Fu Yuanchuan was so assured when he answered, Jun Qingyu couldn’t help but curve his eyes, “You’re not going to ask me what I’m going to do with it?”

“It’s up to you.”

“You’re the best.”

After they had their meal, Jun Qingyu went to Shi Kaixin to get the Zerg egg.

Fu Yuanchuan thought through it but decided not to go with him, “The lounge is on the seventh floor. Just contact him when the time comes. I have something to do. When you get back from getting the egg, let’s go home together.”

“Ok.” Jun Qingyu answered obediently before he approached him to kiss him. He waved his hand, “I’ll be leaving.”

Fu Yuanchuan froze, he remembered that he forgot to tell the little fish that this was wrong, but he got into a daze and the little fish had already left.

Fu Yuanchuan shook his head. Next time, let’s leave it to next time.

Jun Qingyu sent a message to Shi Kaixin when he went out, but no one responded. He probably had not seen it.

There were a lot of people on the seventh floor, which was a bit more chaotic compared to the upper floor.

Jun Qingyu used some spiritual energy when he checked the insect egg before and a mark was left, so he looked for it directly.

“Eh? Why are you here? The marshal didn’t come with you?”

When he heard that, he knew that Shi Kaixin had not looked at his light brain.

Jun Qingyu said, “I’m here to get the Zerg egg.”

“The Zerg egg? What do you want that thing for?” After asking that, Shi Kaixin turned around and said, “Come in, I’ll get it for you.”

In the two-person dorm room, Yu Zhi had woken up and there was no doubt on his face when he saw Jun Qingyu coming in.

Jun Qingyu understood. This person was also a member of Shi Kaixin’s group.

Considering that Yu Zhi had lost his consciousness due to the mission, Jun Qingyu stood aside and scattered some universal life energy on the condition that he went unnoticed to help him by checking on him.

Fortunately, he was simply drugged and there was nothing else.

Shi Kaixin brought a bag over; it was more convenient to put it in a bag, “I put the Zerg egg into the bag.”

“Ok.” After receiving the Zerg egg, Jun Qingyu was not in a hurry to leave and he asked, “Where did you get this Zerg egg? Are there more of this?”

Shi Kaixin looked at Yu Zhi when he heard that. These questions were obviously not for him.

Yu Zhi shook his head, “It was a coincidence that I could get it. There are a lot of eggs, but each egg has a special record. This dead egg was taken out to be destroyed and I took it out from the place it was going to be destroyed.”

If it had not been half-destroyed, the eggshell would not be so fragile.

“Where did you see a lot of eggs?”

Yu Zhi said, “There is a dark room where the old man lives.” The original objective was to get information, but when he came across it by accident, he simply took the egg back with him.

Jun Qingyu nodded his head, “Thank you.”

Yu Zhi smiled and said, “You’re welcome. It’s what I should do.”

Jun Qingyu felt that Yu Zhi’s attitude was a little strange, he raised his eyebrows and cast a glance at Shi Kaixin.

Shi Kaixin pretended to be stupid and looked at the ceiling.

I’m not, I don’t, I don’t know anything, don’t ask me.

My lips are sealed and I won’t say anything at all.

Shi Kaixin had a guilty conscience when he was stared at by Jun Qingyu and he decisively changed the subject by asking, “Eh, by the way, why didn’t the marshal come down with you?”

“He said he had something to deal with, so he asked me to come and get the Zerg egg first.” Jun Qingyu took a quick look at the Zerg egg in the bag. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like a quail cooped up inside on half of its eggshell.

Shi Kaixin nodded, “He should be settling loose ends.”

Jun Qingyu was taken aback for a moment, “What do you mean by settling loose ends?”

“The marshal doesn’t come here often, and every time he leaves, he will get rid of the documents, destroy the hard-copy documents and also some surveillance data, audio records, and etcetera. He will delete what should be deleted and store the useful ones on the cloud.”

“No information will be left here for a long time.”

He didn’t come here often and no one except for Fu Yuanchuan could enter his office. Once something got lost, it was not certain when it would get discovered.

So every time before he left, Fu Yuanchuan would clean it up thoroughly, leaving no information behind.

Although it was very troublesome, it was undoubtedly a good way to keep the information confidential.

Jun Qingyu nodded his head, “Let’s go.”

“Mhm.”

When Jun Qingyu returned, Fu Yuanchuan was not finished with it yet.

“What are you doing?” Jun Qingyu walked over to look, it seemed like he was looking through a video frame by frame.

“The surveillance.” Fu Yuanchuan slid the progress bar back by a bit again and said, “The number of files does not match.”

The surveillance was facing the table and the files were scattered to ensure that each copy was under the surveillance.

Yet Fu Yuanchuan had looked through it twice, there was still one copy less.

Jun Qingyu was stupefied, “…Surveillance?”

He went behind to look at it. The surveillance did not capture anyone. There were only files on the surveillance camera, but he didn’t know if any sound was recorded.

“Mhm.” Fu Yuanchuan gave him a piece of candy, “Wait a little longer, I’ll be finished soon enough.”

Jun Qingyu looked at the progress bar that kept moving back by a little bit, he thought for a while and said, “Yu Zhi is awake, do you have anything you want to ask him? Why don’t I help you with the file and you can go find Yu Zhi first?”

“There’s no need to ask, it’s all written clearly in the report.”

“Well…What about the matter about the Zerg egg?”

“It’s also written.” Fu Yuanchuan pulled out a document, “If you are interested, you can take a look.”

Jun Qingyu: “……”

Holding that document, Jun Qingyu pursed his lips, aware that the progress bar had moved further behind.

Judging from the time, it wouldn’t be long before it was at the time he talked to Shi Kaixin.

Jun Qingyu didn’t remember losing any documents. He only remembered that those documents were stacked into a pile with different coloured binders.

The others were left untouched.

Naturally, he didn’t know which number was incorrect.

Jun Qingyu thought for a while and said, “Let me find it for you. I sorted out all the documents on the table. I should have an impression if I see them again.”

“It’s alright, there’s still some cake on the table, eat a piece and wait for a while, I’ll be finished very soon.”

“But if it’s me…” Before Jun Qingyu had finished his sentence, Fu Yuanchuan’s light brain rang. He quickly said, “Go ahead, I’ll help you find it.”

Fu Yuanchuan glanced at the caller ID on his light brain, got up and touched his head, “I’ll head downstairs.”

“Go on. Go on.” Jun Qingyu was still struggling to think of a solution but now that Fu Yuanchuan was heading downstairs, he was relieved.

Once Fu Yuanchuan left, Jun Qingyu hurriedly sat in front of the computer and quickly jumped to the timestamp when he and Shi Kaixin were talking with a few clicks.

Because it was in the wee hours of the morning and there was sound, this timestamp was marked red.

If he deleted too much, he might not be able to pick it up. In order to avoid problems when he heard it, Jun Qingyu did not delete the part in front and only deleted the part of the conversation that had Shi Kaixin’s joy and what he said about letting Shi Kaixin’s joy return as soon as possible.

Then he replayed it twice, it also linked smoothly when he heard it; he did not detect any issues.

After that was done, before Jun Qingyu could do anything else, Fu Yuanchuan had already finished his work and returned.

Jun Qingyu glanced over, Fu Yuanchuan was holding a large box, “A parcel?”

“It’s ice cream.” Fu Yuanchuan put the box aside, walked up to Jun Qingyu and asked him, “What are you doing?”

“Ah right, the file, I want to try finding it.”

Fu Yuanchuan asked, “Did you find it?”

Jun Qingyu shook his head, “No.” 

To be precise, he hasn’t had time to find it yet.

Fu Yuanchuan said no more. Jun Qingyu distinctly felt that something was amiss and he asked sceptically, “What’s the matter with you?”

“Little fish, did you know that the security protection system of this office here is the highest level?”

“I know.” He could tell when he entered his personal information earlier, it’s just that…why was he talking about this at a time like this?

Fu Yuanchuan nodded and continued to say, “The surveillance video is facing all the important documents. In order to prevent someone from deleting the surveillance data after coming in and stealing the documents, the surveillance footage has a protective measure.”

Jun Qingyu’s mind froze, he had a bad premonition, “…What protective measure?”

“The deleted clips will be sent to my light brain the moment they are deleted.”

“……”

Jun Qingyu instantly stood up but before he could leave the space between the table and the chair, he was held by the waist by Fu Yuanchuan.

“Wait…”

On such a short notice, Jun Qingyu was carried back onto the chair before he could finish his words.

Fu Yuanchuan leaned intensively in front of him, with both of his hands propped up on the armrest on both sides, firmly controlling the person within his range.

Fu Yuanchuan gradually come closer and said in a low voice, “Care to explain?”

Jun Qingyu lightly blinked his eyes. This distance was so close that he could hear Fu Yuanchuan’s heartbeat in the midst of their intertwining breathing…

Fu Yuanchuan was far less calm than he seemed on the surface.

Aware of Fu Yuanchuan’s nervousness, Jun Qingyu calmed down instead. He raised his head and looked at Fu Yuanchuan without avoiding his gaze, “If I explain…like this?”

“What?”

Jun Qingyu swiftly closed the distance between them and dropped a light kiss on his lips. He looked at Fu Yuanchuan, who was stunned, with a smile on his face, “Is this considered as an explanation?”
