Chapter 203 Taking Care of Someone Else
really.

The baby did indeed run out because he overheard his argument with Jing Weimian in the hospital room, and heard Jing Weimian say that she didn't like him...

Lu Lianbai bent down and hugged the sobbing little fish, saying:
"No, baby, you didn't do anything wrong. It was Daddy who made Mommy angry. This has nothing to do with you."

Jing Xiaoyu is usually very well-behaved and easy to coax, but this time, no matter how much Lu Lianbai held him and comforted him, the little guy remained depressed and lay on his chest.

Tiny, solidified pearls pattered down from the collar of his soaked shirt.

After realizing that he had dropped pearls again, the little guy even knew to stretch out his trembling little hands to catch the falling pearls under his face.

Lu Lianbai had just picked up a few pearls from the edge of his clothes when he noticed the little guy reaching out his little hands to catch the pearls for him, looking all pitiful. He couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Lu Lianbai didn't know what to do, and he couldn't show his emotions in front of his child.

She could only silently hold the child.

He rested his chin on the little one's head and gently patted and coaxed him.

I waited until the little guy calmed down and adjusted before putting him back in his crib, patting his head and saying...

"Sweetie, let Daddy pack the luggage first."

Jing Xiaoyu's eyes were red and swollen. She sniffed hard, nodded obediently, and said "Mmm" in a childish, tearful voice.

He sat obediently on the small bed, watching his father stand with his back to him in front of the wardrobe, folding and putting the clothes he had packed into the suitcase.

She watched silently for a while, then raised the back of her little hand to wipe away her tears, and, suppressing her reluctance, crawled back to the side of the bed.

I opened the seashell-shaped storage cabinet that my dad made for me, took out every treasured item inside, and neatly arranged them.

The merman father and son, one big and one small, silently packed their luggage, preparing to leave, shrouded in a somber atmosphere.

Just then, the oppressive roar of a military starship approaching and hovering came from above the residential area.

Having spent some time at the base, Lu Lianbai was well aware that this activity originated from the military fleet.

But First Street is located in a residential area, so why would the military suddenly come here?
Has something happened?

Just then, a series of urgent and rapid knocks sounded at the gate of the courtyard, and someone outside shouted sharply, "Open the door!"

Lu Lianbai frowned, immediately carried the child back to bed, and whispered his instructions:

"Baby, stay in the room for a while, Daddy will go out and take a look."

"dad……"

"It's okay, baby, Daddy will be back soon."

Lu Lianbai comforted the cub, closed the room door, and then went out to open the door.

Before the iron gate of the courtyard was opened, Jing Weimian stood on the steps outside the gate, glancing at the radar data projected by Chen Yan from the wristband screen.

Based on the location of the last star marker where D677 disappeared, it can be basically determined that D677's hiding place is inside this small courtyard.

Therefore, the moment the starship hovered there, Jing Weimian ordered the evacuation of the residents of this residential area and the sealing off of the relevant area.

Only then did he lead the fleet to the courtyard and surround it heavily.

But the moment the courtyard gate opened, Jing Weimian looked up at the sound.

She saw Lu Lianbai, who had just parted ways with her not long ago, standing inside the courtyard gate, staring at her in a daze.

Jing Weimian hesitated for several seconds, and before she could say anything, several of her subordinates behind her had already stepped forward and detained Lu Lianbai.

Jing Weimian snapped out of her daze, met Lu Lianbai's deep and puzzled gaze, and immediately said to her subordinates, "Let him go."

Several subordinates looked at the general, puzzled, and hesitated before releasing him.

Jing Weimian frowned and stared at Lu Lianbai for a moment, then slightly tilted her head to signal Chen Yan beside her. Chen Yan received her look and quickly realized what was going on. Suppressing his confusion, he stepped forward and explained the situation to Lu Lianbai in a businesslike manner.

Lu Lianbai frowned even more, looking directly at Jing Weimian and said:

"General, the D677 experimental subject you mentioned is not with me."

Lu Lianbai was sharp enough to detect sources of mental pollution. If the polluted experimental subject had actually appeared here, he would have discovered its existence earlier than the military.

But in this matter, it's not as simple as Jing Weimian saying she believes him and then believing him.

After all, the radar data was right there in front of them, and Jing Weimian had a responsibility to the citizens living in this area.

Therefore, Jing Weimian quickly looked away and said in a deep voice:

"Whether it's there or not, let my men go in and search first."

Lu Lianbai stared at her for a while, then finally stepped aside to let Jing Weimian and the others in.

He worked with Chen Yan and the others to thoroughly investigate every corner of the courtyard.

When he reached the innermost room, he opened the door and first picked up the uneasy Jing Xiaoyu from the small bed.

I explained to the little one, "Baby, don't be afraid. They're just here for a routine check-up, and everything will be fine afterward."

Meanwhile, Jing Weimian stood on one side of the steps in the courtyard, listening to her subordinates who had gone in to search report the situation to her one after another.

She had once prepared herself to run into Lu Lianbai's wife.

The result is not.

Hearing the door open, Jing Weimian looked up from the screen without any expression, only to see Lu Lianbai carrying his child out of the inner room.

Jing Xiaoyu wrapped her little arms around her father's neck, her nose clearly smelling something, and her big, teary eyes trembling as she cautiously raised her face.

He stared blankly at Jing Weimian, who stood a few steps away with a cold and stern expression, feeling both fear and an irresistible urge to get closer immediately.

The little guy's lips moved, but when Jing Weimian's indifferent gaze slowly moved to his little face, he swallowed the word "Mom" back down, sobbing and burying his head back into his father's shoulder.

A short while later, the last subordinate came out and reported truthfully to Jing Weimian:
"General, we have thoroughly searched the area with pollution detectors and found no trace of D677."

Jing Weimian: "Is there no one else inside?"

The subordinates looked at each other, then answered in unison, "No."

Lu Lianbai, protecting the baby in his arms, couldn't help but speak up:
"From beginning to end, it's just me and my child living here. Who else does the general think could be here? Or does the general also think I'm harboring D677?"

Jing Weimian looked at him suspiciously.

Could it be... that she really misunderstood?

The woman I saw at the mall that day wasn't actually Lu Lianbai's wife.
However, whether or not it is none of her business.

That shouldn't be her focus right now.

Chen Yan coughed and reminded him, "General?"

Jing Weimian then lowered her gaze and said in a deep voice:
“As I just said, the last known location where D677 disappeared was right here in the courtyard. Regardless of whether you, Dr. Lu, harbored D677 or not, according to the investigation procedures, you have to come back to the base with me to cooperate with further investigation. If it really has nothing to do with you, you will be released naturally later.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Lianbai looked down at the pitiful little fish in his arms, but shook his head:

“I can cooperate with the general’s investigation, but the baby is too young and can’t be separated from me. I can’t leave the baby alone at home—”

Jing Weimian had naturally considered this issue as well, and she slightly tilted her head to signal to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan immediately understood the general's meaning, stepped forward, coughed, and said.

"Please rest assured, Dr. Lu, I can take care of the child until the investigation is over."
