However, what was unexpected was that Xia Wan did not worry about this matter for long.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the thin clouds, casting a golden veil over the earth. As usual, Wu Sangui sat at the table, diligently calculating work points for the people in the brigade.

The surroundings were quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional soft scratching sound of pen tip against paper.

However, at this seemingly ordinary moment, the strange and inexplicable effects of the medicine began to haunt him again, like a ghost.

Without any warning, Wu Sangui suddenly stood up.

His movements were swift and abrupt, as if driven by some mysterious force.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he took large strides without hesitation and ran straight off in a specific direction.

In the blink of an eye, everyone saw him suddenly open his arms and, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, embrace a beautiful widow with lightning speed.

This sudden scene instantly shattered the previously calm crowd, sending a clamor through the air. People stared in astonishment, their mouths agape, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, their faces filled with disbelief. Then, a torrent of surprise and accusations surged forth, rising and falling incessantly.

"Oh my goodness! How could our brigade accountant be so bold as to hug Widow Qi in public!" a middle-aged woman with a look of astonishment shouted.

"That's right! When did those two start hooking up? It's really unexpected!" The old man next to him shook his head and muttered with a suspicious look.

"Oh my god, in broad daylight, in front of everyone, they actually did this kind of thing! Isn't this blatant indecent behavior? It's absolutely outrageous!" A young wife covered her mouth and stomped her foot angrily.

“Exactly, exactly, how shameless! They can’t even find a secluded place, tsk tsk tsk…” Another middle-aged woman shook her head repeatedly, her disdain evident in her words.

At this moment, the captain, who was standing in the crowd, finally came to his senses from the shock. His face turned extremely ugly, and the veins on his forehead bulged. While shouting loudly, he hurriedly called on the few people around him to quickly step forward and pull Wu Sangui away.

However, the widow who was being embraced was no ordinary person.

It turns out that she was the one who had beaten Wu Sangui unconscious on the way a few days ago.

At this moment, her pretty face flushed red, filled with shame and anger, and the anger in her heart surged up.

She twisted her body desperately, pushing Wu Sangui away with both hands, trying to break free from his iron-like embrace.

At the same time, she kept cursing: "You shameless bastard! Let me go! I'll teach you a lesson today!"

Wu Sangui then realized his absurd actions as if from a dream, but it was too late. He wanted to explain, but faced with this situation, he really couldn't explain himself.

People in the crowd started pointing and whispering, and various discussions arose.

Wu Sangui's face turned bright red. He didn't know how to deal with this sudden chaotic situation, let alone how to apologize to the widow and salvage his reputation.

He stood there blankly, filled with doubt and confusion, completely unaware of what was wrong with him lately, and why he had suddenly encountered such an inexplicable situation.

At this moment, Xia Wan was hiding behind the crowded people, quietly observing the entire unfolding of the situation.

Although she had decided to move away, she still had some work points that hadn't been settled.

After all, even if it's only been a few days of work, we still need to carefully calculate the costs.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Xia Wan kept her eyes glued to everything that was happening in front of her, not missing a single detail.

Only now did she finally realize that the drug in the system had such a magical effect—enabling people to do such amazing things while maintaining a clear mind!

Wu Sangui was clearly in a semi-conscious state just now, but when he was forcibly pulled away, he instantly became completely awake.

The efficacy of this medicine is truly astonishing and amazing!

Just as Xia Wan was lost in thought and somewhat dazed, she suddenly heard someone step forward to defend Wu Sangui.

Huang Qiujie struggled to push his way to the front of the crowd and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Fellow villagers, please don't be so quick to criticize Comrade Wu Sangui. I saw it clearly just now. Accountant Wu seemed to be bewitched by something and couldn't control his behavior at all."

After hearing Huang Qiujie's words, everyone turned to her with suspicion. Clearly, most people were skeptical of what this young woman had said and were not willing to readily believe her.

After a brief pause, Huang Qiujie continued, "Did you know? I heard that Accountant Wu suddenly fainted on the road yesterday. In my opinion, there must be something fishy about this."

As he spoke, Huang Qiujie's gaze would occasionally sweep over the crowd, observing their reactions.

Upon hearing this, the captain frowned and fell into deep thought. He crossed his arms and tapped his fingers lightly on his arm, seemingly sorting through various possibilities in his mind.
