Upon returning to the military region, the investigation team came over and inquired about Xu Manzhi's situation.

Ye Qiqi shook her head and said, "She wasn't very welcoming to me, and she wouldn't let us into the house. She didn't say another word to me."

Qian Lei remembered Yan Song's instructions.

He hesitated and said, "Xu Manzhi looks sick. Her face is dark and her hair is unkempt. She looks quite different from her usual spirited and dashing self when the city was under lockdown."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiqi chuckled inwardly.

Men are so superficial; they only judge a person by their appearance.

"Alright, you should not leave Haicheng for now, as we may be summoned at any time."

"yes!"

They both agreed in unison.

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Manzhi was writing a new proposal at her desk when, suddenly, she couldn't hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood onto her notebook, instantly staining it red...

She quickly took a cloth to wipe it.

With a wipe, the bloodstains blurred the writing.

The pen ink stained the paper.

She was immediately heartbroken.

This draft was extremely important; it was a crucial part of the entire antidote. If there was any error, the results would be drastically different... She had to draft it again.

Hiss~~~

Suddenly, I felt a dull ache in my stomach.

When she stood up, her feet felt unsteady, and she almost bumped into the corner of the table. She had to use her arms to support herself to avoid hitting her stomach.

The veins on his arm bulged, and his bone snapped with a crack.

She was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat.

After her dizziness subsided, she slowly sat down, had her bones reset, and then let out a heavy sigh.

"Master, you should give up. Your health is the most important thing..." Heihei whispered.

According to the plot, the master will definitely die.

Moreover, she had promised Number 37 that she would exchange the Thundercloud Pearl for the Tribulation of Death...

So what if she left behind five children?

If there's a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.

No matter how affectionate Yan Lin was towards his master, once he married a new wife, his ex-wife's children became a thorn in his side...
