Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 15 You Can't Guarantee

In the early morning of the old street, the hazy fog has not yet dissipated, shrouding the quiet street corners.

A man in black wearing a cloak and mask stood quietly by the wall, glancing around through the gaps in the mask, and occasionally raising his hand to glance at the time on the star chart.

I don’t know how long I waited, but finally, I heard a slight sound of footsteps at the entrance of the alley.

Jing Weimian's silhouette gradually emerged from the morning mist. She walked up to the man in black, holding a cloth bag in her hand. She stared at him for a moment, but before she could speak, the man in black reached out his hand and said, "Something."

Jing Weimian took out a small box from the cloth bag and handed it over while still staring at the man in black without blinking.

The man in black noticed her gaze and lowered his cloak, thinking he was being concealed. The next second, his slender hand gently held her chin, and his voice was clear and gentle, "It's you."

The man in black immediately pushed her hand away and stepped back cautiously.

"I'm really skeptical now. As a military cadet who works part-time to earn money for school and then has to work in an underground trading port late at night, are you sure you can afford this bounty?"

The man in black was completely stunned, "How did you know..."

Jing Weiman looked at her with a smile on his face.

Realizing that he was completely exposed in front of her, the man in black was silent for a moment, then quickly took off his cloak and mask, revealing his true face.

"Teacher Jing...thank you for saving my life that day. I've never found a suitable opportunity to thank you."

Jing Weimian: "You recognized me that night at the trading port?"

Jian Cheng shook his head gently and touched his forehead, which had already healed. "I know that Teacher Jing healed me before. I recognize Teacher Jing's aura. When I was in the military academy, I also secretly hid in the corner and observed Teacher Jing healing other students."

"...Next time you can watch it openly."

Jian Cheng was stunned for a moment and whispered "OK", but she was worried that Jing Weiman would not give her the thing, so this time she did not hesitate any more, pulled off the rare star vein amber that had been hanging around her neck for many years, and handed it over.

"I didn't lie to Teacher Jing. I can really afford the bounty. This is the most valuable thing I have."

Jing Weimian took a look at the thing in her hand and immediately recognized that it was an extremely rare S-level star mineral resource. The super energy sealed inside it was the raw material for the core components of the military's advanced warships.

Jian Cheng could have auctioned it off to exchange for the wealth she urgently needed, instead of handing it over just to get a contaminated experimental subject being hunted by the military.

Jing Weimian didn't take it. "Where did it come from?"

"Teacher Jing, do you suspect it's of unknown origin? This is something my adoptive mother left me before she passed away. If I had no other choice, I wouldn't have thought of trading it. Teacher Jing, you can take it. I only want D677."

Jing Weimian leaned aside with her arms folded: "So, what is your relationship with D677?"

Hearing this, Jian Cheng fell silent again. After a long while, he spoke softly, "He is my brother."

Jing Weimian raised his eyebrows slightly.

"My younger brother separated from me three years ago. He knew I wanted to be admitted to the Alliance Military Academy, so he told me to focus on preparing for the exam while he traveled to various star regions to work and earn tuition."

"At first, my brother and I kept in touch every month, but one day six months ago, I suddenly couldn't reach him anymore. After arriving on the Capital Planet, I discovered through investigation that he had been tricked and sold to an underground laboratory six months earlier, becoming a terraformer in the lab's "Abyssal Alienation" program. Because his transformation failed, he was thrown into the restricted area of ​​the military academy."

"I've become..." Jian Cheng choked up a bit before finishing the sentence, "What everyone calls a dangerous experimental subject." "So, Mr. Jing, consider this as a plea. I'll give you the Star Vein Amber and return my brother to me."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to put the Star Vein Amber into Jing Weimian's hand and looked at her eagerly.

Jing Weiman had indeed never imagined that there would be such a story behind an "escaped" experimental subject.

The bag in his hand shook violently a few times. It was D677 trapped in the small box trying to break free.

Jing Weiman made a "tsk" sound, and D677 immediately became obedient, clinging to the edge of the box with its tentacles and testing it carefully.

Jing Weimian, who originally just wanted to quickly deliver the goods, get the money and leave, now looked at the Star Vein Amber in his hand for a moment, sighed in his heart that his work was in vain, and then pressed Jian Cheng's shoulder, "Don't move."

Jian Cheng stood there in a daze, watching Jing Weiman put the Star Vein Amber back into the necklace around her neck.

Jing Weiman let her go and handed the bag in his hand to her. Jian Cheng immediately took it with red eyes and almost hugged the bag in her arms.

Seeing her like this, Jing Weimian thought for a moment and then said something more, "Even if everything is as you said, you should know that D677 is just a contaminated experimental subject. If you take it away, there will be a risk of contamination and harm. I suggest you think it over carefully."

"He won't hurt me! I hid him at home and took care of him, not letting him go out—"

"You can't guarantee it."

A familiar cold voice came from behind.

Jing Weimian turned his head and saw Lu Lianbai standing behind him. A black starship emitting a cold light was hovering above the street intersection.

Realizing that it was a military pursuit ship, Jian Cheng clutched the bag in her arms and turned around to run, but it was too late. The army had surrounded the entire street, and she had nowhere to escape. In addition, she was no match for these well-trained soldiers, so she was quickly detained.

"This is the second time. I've discovered that General Lu is very good at intercepting people halfway."

"Doctor Jing, you're too kind." Lu Lianbai didn't look at her, but turned to his men and ordered, "Take him away."

The next second, Jing Weimian stretched out his hand to block his way.

The sweet and soft breath surged around him like a mad tide. His fierce brows were partially obscured by the shadow of his lowered military cap. He stared at the clean and slender little hand blocking his way, and his answer was colder and more emotionless than that of a bionic robot.

"Take her back to take a statement. As for what was in her bag, it needs to be sent to the Xingjian Research Institute for in-depth testing. It will also remain at the institute."

Jing Weiman could accept this result. The most important thing was that it also ensured Jian Cheng's own safety.

Then he turned around and glanced at Jian Cheng who was being detained, "Did you hear that? If you have a chance later, you can go to the institute to visit your brother."

Jian Cheng's eyes were red as she choked up and nodded, "I understand. Thank you, Teacher Jing..."

Everyone was taken away, but the dazzlingly white hand was still blocking his way. Lu Lianbai narrowed his eyes and didn't touch it. He would rather walk around her and go to the other side.

Although Jing Weimian didn't know why the admiral was so resistant to her approach, that was not the point. She deliberately stepped back to block his way.

Then, with your palm facing upward, reach out to him.
