Tong Xianbao was startled and his face turned pale. "It's nothing, just, just the wild vegetable soup you gave me."

Lu Nanfang's eyes were also filled with tears, looking weak and aggrieved: "Me too, I didn't bring anything with me at all when I came in and out."

Li Sikai knew there was a problem, but he was troubled by the lack of evidence.

Before a major disaster, some technological means could be used. But now, they are living almost like in a primitive society; if the person involved doesn't admit it, there's nothing that can be done about him or her.

Unless, of course, a direct conviction!

Li Sikai narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them, saying in an unquestionable tone, "Take good care of her!"

Although Tong Xianbao felt reluctant, he was not very willing: "Well, Ruoxi has already been infected, she won't survive, should we... give up?"

Li Sikai asked, "Is your friendship so worthless?"

Tong Xianbao was speechless.

Lu Nanfang nodded: "I've been taken care of by Ruoxi for the past two years. Now that she's in trouble, it's only right that I lend a helping hand. Don't worry, I will take good care of Ruoxi. Until, until the end of her life!"

Li Sikai gave her a meaningful look: "Go ahead, we won't forget what you've done for us."

Lu Nanfang didn't think much of it, but smiled gratefully and said, "No need, it's all what I should do."

"Okay!" Li Sikai nodded and didn't say anything more.

After Lu Nanfang entered the thatched hut, Tong Xianbao stood at the door looking completely lost.

Li Sikai hesitated for a moment, then said to him, "Do you want to prepare a final meal for Yuan Ruoxi?"

Tong Xianbao looked up blankly, but after realizing what Li Sikai had said, his eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll go prepare right away."

After he left, Li Sikai gestured to his teammates.

"Yuan Ruoxi probably won't last much longer. She's bound to cause trouble soon. Everyone get ready, it's time to test your acting skills."

"Don't worry, boss, we've been waiting for this day for a long time. Once we finish the mission, we can go home, right?"

"Don't let your guard down. Lu Nanfang is not someone to be easily fooled. She's ruthless. Yuan Ruoxi's illness this time is most likely caused by her."

"Boss, I've always suspected that Lu Nanfang was behind Yuan Ruoxi's poor health later on."

"I've had my suspicions, but we have no evidence. Even the doctors at the hospital haven't been able to find the cause, so what can we do?"

Although she's not a very ethical person, she did help us complete the mission ahead of schedule. Let's just consider her a villainous supporting character; until we find any flaws, we can only let her be.

"Alright, let's see if we can catch her red-handed this time."

"I've wanted to bring her to justice for a long time. She usually acts like a pure and innocent flower, but in reality, she's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Only those two blind people, Tong Xianbao and Yuan Ruoxi, can't see it."

"No, no, no, you're wrong about that. Although Yuan Ruoxi is unreliable, she's always treated Tong Xianbao well. And look at her, she's been abandoned as soon as she's in trouble. She's raised a thankless wretch. Yuan Ruoxi has truly wasted her opportunity with her spatial abilities in her entire life."

"She is probably the most tragic superhuman in history."

"A person's fate is often related to their choices. If she were upright and positive, the Alliance would definitely designate her as a priority for protection, instead of the current situation where we openly protect her while secretly..."

Although I feel somewhat guilty, I don't regret my choice.

"I don't regret it. I'm not a good person, but I'm still doing well. I'm not at a loss."

"I'm telling you, stop slandering yourselves. Although it's hard to define right or wrong in what we did, no one intentionally harmed anyone. To be honest, I feel pretty good about myself, so please don't try to discourage me."

"Okay, I got it. That's a good attitude!"

Li Sikai's lips curled up slightly. While hating himself, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Tong Xianbao returned. Holding a steaming bowl of mushroom soup, he stood at the door of the thatched hut, hesitating whether to go in.

Seeing this, Li Sikai said, "If Lu Nanfang isn't afraid, why are you?"

As if his sore spot had been stepped on, Tong Xianbao stomped his foot, raised his head, and strode inside, still brazenly saying, "Who's afraid? I'll feed Yuan Ruoxi right now!"

"Go ahead, maybe with your encouragement, Yuan Ruoxi will be able to persevere."

"Really?" Tong Xianbao felt a glimmer of hope and no longer found Yuan Ruoxi's rash bothersome. He helped her sit up, fed her mushroom soup, and whispered many encouraging words to her.

Lu Nanfang found it an eyesore and said, "You can leave now. I'll wipe her body. She has a fever of about 40 degrees Celsius."

Tong Xianbao nodded, wanting to say yes, but when he glanced at the bracelet on Yuan Ruoxi's wrist, he regretted it.

"No need, I'll go with you."

Lu Nanfang noticed Tong Xianbao's gaze and thought to herself that she was in trouble, but she still smiled and nodded: "That's good. With someone helping me, I won't have to work so hard."

If Tong Xianbao and Lu Nanfang weren't constantly competing with each other, they would have quit long ago. Yuan Ruoxi's rash was increasing at a visible rate, a truly alarming sight.

The two men took off Yuan Ruoxi's clothes, wiped them down, and then put them back on her.

Then there was a moment of silence, and neither of them wanted to leave Yuan Ruoxi's side.

Lu Nanfang felt that she couldn't afford to fail after planning for so long.

Tong Xianbao was thinking about what kind of inheritance Yuan Ruoxi would have to inherit as her lover.

Both of them harbored ulterior motives, scheming to seize the fortune of the dying man. Only Yuan Ruoxi, that fool, considered them both good people.

As for why the two of them were so confident that they could obtain the space, it was because Yuan Ruoxi was a "hidden devil" and was afraid that the secret of the space would be discovered, so she deliberately used a smokescreen. She always liked to touch the bracelet whenever she had nothing to do.

People who aren't close to you might not notice, but how could your bedmate and roommate, who you spend every day with, not know?

Tong Xianbao and Lu Nanfang were convinced that the jade bracelet was the spatial carrier, and they were waiting for Yuan Ruoxi to die so that they could seize it.

They waited until midnight.

After Li Sikai and the others had fallen asleep, Lu Nanfang carefully checked Yuan Ruoxi's breathing. Once she confirmed that she wasn't breathing, she didn't make a fuss. She quietly took off the bracelet from Yuan Ruoxi's wrist and prepared to slip away.

Tong Xianbao, who was inside the room, woke up immediately, grabbed her hand, and said in a low voice, "Afang, Ruoxi is my lover, this bracelet should belong to me."

Lu Nanfang stared intently at him.

Tong Xianbao thought the other person would argue, but instead the other person bit his wrist fiercely, forcing him to let go and then running out of the thatched hut.

Seeing this, Tong Xianbao quickly went to chase after her, but Lu Nanfang had already run far away.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Tong Xianbao shouted at the top of his lungs as he chased after her: "The bracelet! Lu Nanfang has stolen the bracelet!"

Li Sikai was startled and quickly called his teammates to give chase.

Those around them, while feeling bewildered, also got up to watch the spectacle.
