CH 68.2

“Mr. Chief Steward, may I ask if the sudden action by His Majesty Clarice today means that the royal family has officially declared war on the nobles headed by the Orfield family?”

“His Majesty Clarice has never sent a similar signal before. Is this a sudden thought on his part, or does His Majesty have any evidence of crimes committed by the Orfiled family?”

“Good afternoon, audience friends. I’m Xiao Chen, a reporter from the Capital Star News Station. I’m currently at the gate of the Orfiled family mansion. We can see that the entire mansion has been surrounded, with Chief Steward Rowelett taking the lead in command. Please stay tuned for the specific reasons and future developments…”

“Mr. Rowlett, may I ask…”

“Mr. Chief Steward, look at me! I’m different from them. I just want to know the specific living conditions of His Highness Ji Mingjiang!”

“…”

Behind him was a cacophony of shouting and the sound of various interview camera instruments touching and colliding. Greeted by the cool autumn wind, Rowlett pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose calmly without turning his head once. He methodically arranged for the people he had brought with him to encircle the vast mansion.

But contrary to the expression on his face, Rowlett is very anxious right now.

If it wasn’t for the concern about his image and worrying that the reporters would think too much, he would have taken out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the fine sweat from his temples.

What exactly did His Majesty and His Highness Ming Jiang encounter?! Why did he specifically ask him to call Lin Feng and his handy colleagues over? Could it be that Ji Mingjiang was injured? But His Highness can even restrain Leiden in his manic period, so who else could have injured him?

When he finished dealing with the matter over at the research institute and had just opened his light brain to prepare to tell His Majesty that Wang Weiming had been captured, God knows how much he panicked in his heart when he saw the message sent from the opposite side.

“Come out, come out!”

“Someone is coming out! But it doesn’t seem to be His Majesty?”

“Audience friends, please pay attention; we can now see a person who seems to be hugging someone coming out of Orfield’s mansion… huh???”

The reporter was so shocked that the crackling sound brought back the minds of the jaw-dropping people. They were in a trance as they watched the person who walked quickly from the garden all the way to the door and began to whisper something to Rowlett.

They are very familiar with this person’s face. Every now and then, when they have nothing to write, they will take him out to watch his live broadcast today and make up something…

So, why the hell did the mermaid come out from here? ? ?

No, no, no

The dense row of people shook their heads in unison again, rubbed their eyes, and slapped themselves, and some people took the video equipment and looked at the scene in front of them through the lens without giving up.

“I think I’m crazy, or is this world a fantasy???”

“I don’t f*cking understand; this is Ji Mingjiang, right?!”

“Why does this person look like the mermaid anchor I followed recently?!”

Who will tell them how a normal mermaid suddenly grows two legs?

The person who came here specifically for Ji Mingjiang sat down on the ground in a trance, pulling his hair carelessly with both hands. “Ah, I don’t believe it! Who did plastic surgery and turned my Cub Jiang into this?!”

Even now, when he said the word “Cub Jiang”, it was a bit hot on his lips. After all, on this sunny late autumn afternoon, the figure of the young man who had just walked by clearly came into his eyes.

Those two straight, slender, and powerful legs matched the mermaid’s upper body that he was used to seeing, and there was no sense of discrepancy. The delicate yet serious clothes on his body suppressed the slightly childish aura that the mermaid carried because he hadn’t grown up yet, making the other party look extraordinarily mature and reliable.

“Wuwuwu–”

But he also wanted to know which impostor could talk to Chief Rowlett so freely and which impostor could imitate those pair of transparent, dexterous, and extremely cute ear fins.

Thinking of this, the small reporter, who was still in disbelief just now, was instantly saddened and whimpered without knowing what he was sad about.

“…… Little brother, that’s enough. Why are you so overdramatic?”

The rest of the people who watched his performance just now shook their bodies uncomfortably. While secretly thinking about whether their appearance just now was also that exaggerated, they hurriedly helped the person from the ground.

What a joke! With the current level of technology, there are many Federation people who can watch their live broadcast. They came here because they want KPI(Key Performance Indicator) and they are confident that Clarice will definitely not accept the interview directly. They didn’t want to become a disgrace to the entire galaxy.

“Get up, you—”

“Wu, leave me alone; let me cry, wuwuwu—”

***

The commotion made by the crowd of onlookers outside reached Ji Mingjiang’s ears, and the erected ear fins moved somewhat impatiently before being covered by Ji Mingjiang’s ruffled hair.

When he saw Ji Minjiang coming out, Rowlett took Lin Feng to meet him quickly, muttering to himself as he walked, “Your Highness, are you hurt somewhere or something is wrong with your spiritual sea? I knew that the Orfield family were not good things; they were all a bunch of gutter rats who quickly let ……”

“Shh——”

All the unfinished words were stopped by Ji Mingjiang’s gestures and explanations.

Although he was glad that Mr. Chief Steward’s knowledge of the Orfield family aligned with him, Ji Mingjiang still helplessly interrupted the old man’s rambling concern and waited for him to lower his voice. Then he gestured for Rowlett and Lin Feng, who were in a state of shocked bewilderment, to look at Kiro, who was cradled in his hands.

“This is……”

At first, Rowlett didn’t recognize him. He’s not to blame; after all, the skinny and withered mermaid with black hair and a black tail couldn’t remind him of the lively and healthy mermaid from ten years ago.

“Clarice and I found him.” Ji Mingjiang said in a soft tone as he looked at Rowlett, who wiped his glasses repeatedly and gently brushed away the hair on the mermaid’s face with his fingers.

Without letting Rowlett and Kiro, who had fallen asleep again, get all worked up here for too long, he turned to look at Lin Feng, who had a blank look on his face, and said, “Don’t be stunned. Have you brought all the things you need for treatment? He’s not doing too well; his wrist injury is serious, and there are some old injuries in other locations of his body. Malnutrition is certain…..”

Before the words were finished, Lin Feng, who was jolted by Ji Mingjiang’s series of descriptions, took a big step forward to receive the drowsy mermaid into his hands. He turned towards the treatment cabin and gritted his teeth, saying, “You didn’t say so earlier! I thought he was just asleep because he didn’t bleed!”

Ji Mingjiang briefly explained the situation inside to Rowlett and then followed him. Lin Feng and his team followed Rowlett and were all inside the warning line, separated by a large distance from the group of reporters outside. The chaotic sound was already weak when it reached the location of the treatment cabin.

Under Lin Feng’s urging, several doctors who were so shocked that their eyes popped out when they saw Ji Mingjiang quickly debugged the treatment cabin.

The mermaid moved his eyelids uneasily when he was put in, and then finally returned to calm under Ji Mingjiang’s comfort.

After closing the hatch and seeing the green light indicating treatment was on, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Rows of words that Ji Mingjiang couldn’t even read quickly slid past. His eyes were glued to the data on the screen, but his mouth was spitting out a series of questions like a machine gun.

“What’s going on with you? A few days ago, no, when I saw you live this morning, you were still a mermaid, weren’t you? Why did you suddenly become like this? Did something happen at Orfield’s house? What’s going on with this mermaid? His physical data is simply the worst I’ve ever seen. Was he illegally imprisoned by that insect, Bisnar Orfield? Have you called the protection center?”

“No, that’s not right.” Just after he finished speaking, before Ji Mingjiang could answer, he quickly vetoed what he just said: “I almost forgot that the group of people in the protection center don’t deal with Leiden, and they can’t do anything to the Orfield family when it comes to real power. So what are you going to do? Is the royal family going to take over this matter?”

As he spoke, Lin Feng reached out and pulled over a subordinate who was silently walking away from him. He took the record book in his hand and wrote something. Ji Mingjiang twitched the corner of his mouth and answered his second question first.

“Actually, we shouldn’t use the word “take over”… The name of this mermaid is Kiro Clarice, so you can put that in your medical records when you write them up. After that, Clarice, oh, I mean Leiden, should be able to directly prosecute the Orfield family with something like a conspiracy to murder royalty.”

“Crack”

This was the sound of Lin Feng shaking his hand and dropping the record book to the ground.

“This is Leiden’s little brother???” He looked at Ji Mingjiang in disbelief, and several people around him who heard this also had the same reaction.

Are you kidding me? Regarding the attitude His Majesty Clarice showed towards mermaids before, saying that he has a mermaid little brother, who would believe it? ? ?

“And when did this happen? Why don’t I remember it at all?”

“First of all, if Kiro is Leiden’s older brother, He’s two years older than Leiden.”

“As to why it doesn’t ring a bell, it was a long time ago, probably because Leiden himself didn’t want to talk about it.”

Facing the shocked, speechless expressions of everyone, Ji Mingjiang stepped forward and picked up the booklet on the ground, patted it clean, and stuffed it back into Lin Feng’s arms. His face was very calm, so calm that people couldn’t help but think about whether they were making too much of a fuss.

But…how can you calm down like this!

“You’re telling me that this mermaid with a tail that’s probably not as big as both of that Leiden’s arms is actually his older brother???”

Just at this time, the data on the treatment cabin stopped scrolling. Lin Feng took a look and retracted his eyes with relief, and then looked at Ji Mingjiang again with an “are you kidding me?” look.

“Why am I lying to you? Leiden should announce this after returning to the palace, right?” Ji Mingjiang touched his chin and said it with some uncertainty.

“Okay, I believe it.”

Pinching the bridge of his nose hard, Lin Feng let out a breath, then pulled up Ji Mingjiang and tried to drag him towards the other treatment cabin. Because he wasn’t sure what the situation was before coming here, he brought two treatment cabins over.

Now it comes in handy.

“You also go in and get a checkup too. Why did you suddenly grow two legs? The race column on your file will be messed up in the future!”

“Eh?! I don’t need it; I’m very healthy!” Worried that he would directly break this doctor in charge with a struggle, Ji Mingjiang turned his wrist with a small force, trying to make Lin Feng’s movements stop.

“I should say it’s because I’m too healthy for this; you might as well test the health index of other fish.”

“?”

Hearing the equally serious words from Ji Mingjiang behind him, Lin Feng’s forehead twitched, and a premonition that his worldview might be about to be shattered came to his heart.

But as a responsible doctor who loves his work and is also the doctor in charge of Ji Mingjiang, he still puts the man… the mermaid into another cabin.

“You go in and take a test first, or I won’t feel at ease.”
