"Hmm? Ah..." Yu Wei pinched his cheek, "Is it that obvious?"

"Your current status is not suitable for taking risks, so I'll go instead."

“I’m even more worried about you given your current condition.” Yu Wei pinched the corner of his eye. “Listen to me, you take the people and leave according to the plan. I’ll meet up with you after I find them.”

"That's too risky."

“I’ve already arranged everything else, so it won’t have a big impact.” Yu Wei patted Lu Qin on the shoulder, his tone leaving no room for refusal: “Hurry up and proceed according to plan.”

He walked to the door, then turned back and whispered, "Don't tell anyone."

After saying that, he quickly slipped away like a thief.

Lu Qin sighed. After so many years, the Chairman was still the same as before, losing his composure whenever Zhou Siyu's matter came up.

Yu Wei piloted his private spaceship at the back of the group and quietly left after a short distance, heading in the opposite direction from Planet Nine.

"It is now confirmed that the rebels have not captured Zhou Siyu."

The cool voice paused for a moment, then asked, "You really want to go?"

"Nonsense! I finally have a chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress..."

Yu Wei piloted the spaceship at top speed, weaving through rocks of all sizes. As Lu Qin had said, everything about Zhou Siyu would throw him into disarray.

Even without him, the league will have Zhang Wei, Li Wei, and Wang Wei. Besides, he had already arranged everything, so his departure will not have much impact on the league.

But Zhou Siyu was different; he was all alone.

After two days without food, Zhou Siyu and Li Jing completely lost interest in talking and leaned against the wall to pass the time.

The nutrient solution was being consumed much faster than they had anticipated, and their empty stomachs were frequently cramping from the lack of food for so long.

Two search teams have come in these past few days, but they have found nothing.

After all, this place has more than one mine, and each mine has more than one mine shaft. Unless a large-scale, carpet-style search is conducted, it is impossible to find the two people in a short period of time.

In her spare time, Zhou Siyu would involuntarily think of Yu Wei.

What is he doing now? In a meeting? Training? Or perhaps enjoying a romantic getaway?

He's a high-ranking chairman now, it's perfectly normal for him to have one or two close female or male friends...

Sensing the increasingly oppressive atmosphere around her, Li Jing pulled her coat tighter, trying to minimize her presence.

But why is there always a vinegar smell in the air?

Zhou Siyu held her head in her hands, sulking. Yu Wei, that good-for-nothing, was a heartless scoundrel, blinded by lust and utterly shameless…

"Tap...tap..."

The footsteps were particularly eerie in the dark mine, and the light from the flashlight refracted through the wall onto the wall opposite Zhou Siyu.

The two instinctively held their breath, and Zhou Siyu gripped the anesthetic tightly, ready to give the newcomer an injection at any moment.

The footsteps grew closer, each step pounding on Zhou Siyu's heart. Li Jing huddled behind Zhou Siyu, trembling uncontrollably.

"Hmm..."

A muffled groan came from around the corner, a meter away from the two of them. The smell of blood filled the small space. Zhou Siyu suppressed his nausea and slowly bent over to approach the figure who was kneeling on one knee with his back to him.

Unexpectedly, the man seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. The moment Zhou Siyu lowered his hand, he grabbed Zhou Siyu's wrist and tried to use the momentum to throw him over his shoulder, but the cramped space did not provide the opportunity.

Zhou Siyu felt as if her wrist was being clamped by pliers, and the pain was excruciating. She couldn't help but open her mouth and bite the man's forearm.

The clothes worn by the newcomer were peculiar; they looked thin but were very sturdy. Zhou Siyu tried to bite them for a long time, but the other person's skin didn't even break.

"Hey, I'm not kidding, how long are you going to keep biting me?"

Yu Wei threw down the flashlight in his hand, turned his head, and looked helplessly at the head on his arm.

Her short red hair was a little messy, and half of her face was covered by her forearm, leaving only a pair of amber eyes visible.

“Baby… my darling?” Yu Wei was stunned for a moment, then stood up happily and let out a wail: “Ouch~”, his head hit the top of the mine.

"Who are you calling?"

The familiar, clear voice exploded in her ears, and Zhou Siyu almost burst into tears. After realizing what it was, she flew into a rage, grabbed Yu Wei's ear, and yelled, "Who are you calling 'baby'? Huh? Who taught you that?"

"You, you, you! I'm calling you." Yu Wei seemed oblivious to the pain, grinning as he hugged Zhou Siyu. "I'm not calling you, baby."

"Ha, tell me! Why did you impersonate Yu Wei? What's your relationship with him?"

"Heaven can see! I am truly..."

Yu Wei freed his ear from Zhou Siyu's clutches, hugged him, and grinned foolishly, "I've finally found you! You have no idea how worried I was..."

"How did you lose so much weight?"

Yu Wei turned on his flashlight and looked Zhou Siyu up and down, his eyes red-rimmed. "You're almost as thin as a stick." His gaze fell on Zhou Siyu's head, and he couldn't help but wail, "Aww~ Where did your hair go?"

"Stop howling!" Zhou Siyu covered Yu Wei's mouth. "If you keep howling, you'll attract people here."

"Waaaaah~ My dear wife, you've suffered so much..."

"Um... there are still people here..."

"Holy crap!" Yu Wei was startled by the figure around the corner. "Where did this big black rat come from?"

"Who are you calling a big black rat!"

Li Jing couldn't stand it anymore, so she picked up her shoe and tried to slap Yu Wei in the face. Yu Wei dodged while cursing.

"You two, stop fooling around."

Zhou Siyu rubbed his temples, looked up at the sky and sighed. What kind of karma did he have to encounter these two oddballs at the same time?

"Stop fooling around, stop fooling around." Yu Wei grinned and moved closer to Zhou Siyu. "Are you feeling better? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?"

After saying that, he pulled Zhou Siyu to a place to sit down, and magically pulled out a handful of candy, a few warm biscuits and buns, and a bottle of... freshly squeezed juice from his pocket?
