Beast World: The villain mermaid cub refuses to become a good person

Chapter 251 The Male Leads

Yu Manman felt a little shy in the face of Puslin's teasing.

"father!"

“Go ahead!” Puslin raised an eyebrow.

A wave of emotion washed over me. My little daughter from before has really grown up and even has a boyfriend now.

Puslin fell silent for a moment when he thought of Ackerman.

If Ackerman hadn't followed along and let things unfold, there would likely have been far less suspicion today.

However, Puslin also had his own selfish motives.

He wanted those behind the scenes to focus their attention on Ackerman, making them overlook Manman's presence...

After Yu Manman called Ackerman and Shang Yu up together, Puslin looked at her again and said, "You go down first, I'll talk to them for a while."

"Huh?" Why do they want me to leave? Can't we stay together? Does Dad have some secret mission for them?
“Go ahead! I heard Uncle Altaïr is making desserts downstairs, you can go check it out! Maybe they’re ready by now,” Puslin said with a smile.

Yu Manman pouted and said, "Alright then!"
If you don't want to listen, then don't listen!

Yu Manman went downstairs and into the kitchen.

In the study, Puslin looked at the two of them.

"Did you find anything on the farm?"

Ackerman pursed his lips. "There are many hidden surveillance cameras around. Whether it's the gardeners, the fruit and vegetable growers, or the waiters, they've all been specially trained in their skills."

"If it were just an ordinary farm, it probably wouldn't need to make such a big fuss."

"Besides that, is there anything else?" Puslin turned his gaze to Shang Yu.

“Yes…” Shang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly, a hint of gloom in his brows, “but I’m not sure.”

“You go first,” Puslin gave him a look, urging him to speak boldly.

Shang Yu seemed to be thinking of something disgusting, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

“The people on the farm… I smelled a very faint odor, a rotten smell.” Shang Yu paused for a few seconds, then continued, “Their eyes made me very uncomfortable. It was as if everyone was an object to be traded, and their eyes held a kind of indifference to life.”

"I've only ever seen that look in the eyes of human traffickers who sold their organs."

Shang Yu pursed his lips into a thin line. "So, even if they aren't villains who sell organs, they must have a lot of shady dealings behind the scenes. The people on the farm are probably all bandits who have killed people."

He was kidnapped by human traffickers when he was a child, so he has an absolute sensitivity to such people.

Puslin was somewhat surprised. He knew Shang Yu had been kidnapped, but Shang Yu was still young at the time. He hadn't expected Shang Yu to remember it so clearly, and even guess it so accurately.

“You guessed absolutely right.” Puslin handed over the information that Yu Manman had compiled to them without reservation.

Ackerman's pupils dilated slightly, and he clenched his fists involuntarily, his pale fingertips seemingly revealing his shock!
So... that was the secret of that farm?
Subsequently, both Ackerman and Shang Yu had the same doubts.

Did General Puslin's men find this document? How much more did Manman discover on the farm? How much of the content in this document actually came from Manman?
They recalled Yu Manman's extremely bad expression when she was at the farm, and were certain that Yu Manman knew about this.

“Ackerman, Shangyu, I have something to tell you.”

"Uncle, please tell me!"

Ackerman and Shangyu said in unison...

"Second Uncle!" Yu Manman slipped into the kitchen, just as Atel came out carrying freshly baked cookies.

She reached out and picked one up. "Ouch—" Yu Manman's hand was burning hot, so she quickly put the cookie in her mouth and bit into it!

"Careful, it's hot!" Altaïr looked at Yu Manman helplessly. "You're already eighteen, and you're still making such a fuss..."

Yu Manman bit the cookie into pieces, chewing and chewing—

"My second uncle's cookies are so delicious! They smell amazing!"

"Even if it's delicious, eat slowly, be careful not to choke!" Altaïr glanced at her and poured her a glass of water.

"Drink some water."

"Thank you, Second Uncle!" Yu Manman took another cookie.

“Hmm.” Altaïr then took out the other baked cookies and divided them into portions.

"When Manman goes back to school, take these cookies with you and share them with your friends."

Yu Manman nodded, "Okay! Thank you, Second Uncle!"

[Host! Information about the male leads has been sent to your personal terminal. Please check it promptly!]

Yu Manman's eyes lit up.

——Great! Thank you, Tianba, you're amazing and so capable! I'll treat you to cookies later!

Tianba chuckled, "It's good that I can help the host!"
[Host, two cookies...]

No problem, Yu Manman immediately took three cookies. "Second Uncle, I have something to do, so I'll go back to my room first!"

Yu Manman huffed and puffed as she went upstairs. The moment she closed the door, Tianba transformed into a squirrel, hopping and jumping on the desk.

Cookies, cookies!

Yu Manman handed the cookie in her hand to it.

Tianba held a cookie, about half the size of its head, in its two paws and crunched on it, its whiskers covered in cookie crumbs.

Yu Manman took out a tissue, placed the remaining two cookies on it, and then opened her personal computer to check the information of the male protagonists in this world.

The male lead is indeed the male lead; he's handsome, tragic, and strong—he must possess at least one of these qualities.

Yu Manman had already met three of them.

First up is Li Kai. Yu Manman looks at him; he seems to be the easiest one yet.

Although he came from an ordinary background and was neither loved by his parents, he worked hard and was ambitious. Except for almost becoming a scapegoat, everything went smoothly for him afterward, and there seemed to be no problems.

Then there's Samuel, who was tricked by his uncle into taking away his family fortune. Later, with the unexpected help of the female lead, Mu Yaoyao, he found evidence, brought his uncle to justice, and reclaimed everything that belonged to him.

Moreover, Samuel also possessed an inheritance secretly left to him by his parents—the right to use a tiny island for fifty years.

Although the island was remote and only a little over 300 square meters, Samuel used it to accumulate a lot of funds and connections before he met the female protagonist.

Yu Manman manually drew a mark on the small island. The original text does not explicitly state what Samuel did with that island, but this is precisely the suspicious point.

You could ask your dad to secretly investigate the island. If there are no problems, that would be great. But if there are problems, then you must resolve them as soon as possible!

Then, there was Shen Ying, whom Yu Manman met today.

He was used as a pawn by his father and fought to the death with his father's wife's child. In the end, his friend—his father's illegitimate son—stole the fruits of his labor, and he almost went to prison!

Then comes the story of Shen Ying's descent into darkness, his revenge, his encounter with the female lead Mu Yaoyao, and his redemption by Mu Yaoyao. In the end, he sends his father and half-brother to an underwater prison for life, and takes all of his assets.
