Chapter 232: Meeting Again

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon hearing Liao Ning’s determination to save him, Liao Nai blinked hard and gently shook his head, signaling her not to jeopardize her safety for his sake.

However, Liao Ning insisted, “You’re Auntie’s only family. I will do everything I can to rush and see you as soon as possible. Don’t worry.”

Before they could exchange more words, the phone abruptly shut off, signaling the end of their two-minute conversation.

“The time is up,” Li Xian remarked. “See? Your little nephew seems fine. You can rest assured.”

He rose from his seat and deactivated Liao Nings Al. “There are still many mermaids who haven’t been administered the antidote. Our researchers are yet to determine the optimal concentration of the soup. We need you to continue in the laboratory.”

Though Liao Ning had hoped to maintain contact with Liao Nai, it became apparent that Li Xian had no intention of allowing her further access to the internet. Reluctantly, she rose from her seat and begrudgingly followed him to the laboratory.

Liao Ning was well-versed in the process of crafting clam fish soup, and with the aid of the fully equipped laboratory, she managed to refine the soup within an hour.

“Miss Liao, you’ve worked hard,” a female voice chimed in, handing Liao Ning a glass of water.

Liao Ning turned her gaze toward the voice and saw a small researcher from the laboratory—an individual she had not interacted with before.

“Thank you,” Liao Ning accepted the water, noticing a small note attached to

tne laoel.

Clutching the water bottle tightly, her eyes widened as she looked at the researcher.

“I’m Nana, one of the researchers here. I’ve been assisting you for the past few days,” Nana mentioned, glancing at the label. “If you need any help, feel free to let me know. I handle relatively simple tasks, so I can serve as your assistant.”

Liao Ning remained silent, simply nodding in response. Nana offered her a warm smile before departing.

Using the excuse of needing the restroom, Liao Ning discreetly unfolded the note in her hand.

[Liao Nai is in the imperial family. If you want to save him, leave the room precisely at 12 p.m.]

The note’s concise content left Liao Ning perplexed. Her room was under constant surveillance by the rebel army, and the door could only be opened with Li Xian’s authorization. How could she possibly leave? Moreover, even if she managed to leave the room, the rebel army camp was vast. How could she navigate her way to the empire?

But dwelling on these thoughts was futile. Liao Nai’s escalating evil value must be related to this situation. Liao Ning’s foremost priority was to rendezvous with him and prevent further increase in his evil value.

With that in mind, Liao Ning promptly placed the note in her mouth and swallowed it. She returned to her room and patiently awaited midnight.

Unaware of Liao Nings unusual behavior, Li Xian assumed she was exhausted from her recent fish soup preparations and refrained from disturbing her.

At midnight, the rebel army camp plunged into darkness as all the lights went out, leaving only the emergency lights activated.

Liao Ning cautiously opened her door. True to her expectations, the door lock automatically released upon the power outage.

As she took her first step outside, a voice whispered, “Put this on and follow me.”

Turning around, Liao Ning nearly gasped upon seeing Nana suspended in mid-air.

“Be careful!” Nana swiftly covered Liao Ning’s mouth, and it was then that she noticed Nana was wearing an invisibility cloak.

“This cloak provides an hour of invisibility. Hurry,” Nana instructed, covering Liao Ning’s head without further explanation.

Liao Ning adjusted her cloak and donned her hat. Only then did she realize that not only could she see her surroundings, but she could also discern Nana, who was similarly cloaked.

The power outage had thrown the rebel army building into disarray. People began streaming out, while patrolmen questioned others to assess the electrical issue.

Suddenly, a group of mermen passed by Liao Ning, and one of them cast a sharp, cold gaze in her direction.

When Liao Ning caught sight of his eyes, she was taken aback. He indeed possessed the allure of a handsome mermaid, but there was something familiar about his gaze—it reminded her of Zhou Ling’s eyes.

Recalling Zhou Ye’s earlier revelation about their utilization of the Zerg’s shape-shifting abilities to confuse their adversaries, Liao Ning’s excitement surged. Could it be that Zhou Ling was present here too?

Yet, time was of the essence. She couldn’t afford any delay. Her priority was to journey to the empire and rescue Liao Nai.

Just as their paths were about to intersect, a thought struck Liao Ning, prompting her to pluck a few strands of her lengthy silver hair..
