Chapter 66

Jiang Zouwei's concerns were justified. After Mandy's last gasp of energy, leading the team to victory, his body suddenly deflated like a balloon.

She locked herself in her bedroom, communicating and issuing orders only through text messages. No one was allowed to enter the room, and Ying Zhao, acting as a messenger, watched as Wan Di's replies took longer and longer. However, because of Wan Di's orders, she didn't dare go in, nor did she dare tell anyone the news.

Because to the outside world, Wandi still commanded normally.

Keeping such a secret, Ying Zhao was touched by Wan Di's trust in him, but also felt pain because he truly understood Wan Di's situation.

Jiang Zouwei was at the front line, Ji Wenxue and Yao Si stayed in the team all day, and only her Wan Di was left in the tree house.

Just as he was checking to see if Wan Di had replied to his message as usual, the door was suddenly pushed open. The person who came in was so unexpected that Ying Zhao was stunned.

——It was Jiang Zouwei who was far away at the front line.

When Jiang Zouwei saw Ying Zhao, he didn't even bother to say hello. He rushed up and pushed open Wanti's door. Then he hooked his hand and shut Ying Zhao's words "Wait a minute, Zouwei, Wanti doesn't let anyone in--" outside the door.

Although the sudden change was unexpected, Ying Zhao felt relieved after calming down. What was going on inside? What was the point of staying outside all the time? It would be good if someone could go in and take a look.

It was rare for Jiang Zouwei to rush in rashly. He had thought of many situations, but he never expected to look at each other like this.

Wandi seemed to be writing something, holding a pen in his hand, and looked over when he heard the noise.

With the loud sound of Jiang Zouwei closing the door, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

"You..." Jiang Zouwei was just about to break the silence when Wandi spoke at the same time.

"What are you doing back here?"

The official words made Jiang Zouwei feel a little angry. The unresolved conflicts that had been piling up for so many days seemed to finally have an outlet.

"I heard you were dead."

Jiang Zouwei regretted her words the moment they came out of her mouth. Thinking that something might happen to Wandi, she went crazy and killed everyone there, then immediately ran back without stopping.

As the wind blew along the way, her mind couldn't help but think of her and Wandi's past. Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her dry eyes several times.

Jiang Zouwei wanted to apologize immediately, but Wan Di didn't say anything and just hooked her finger at her.

As soon as she walked over, her hand was immediately held.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry about what happened before. Can we make peace?"

Jiang Zouwei glanced at Wandi, then immediately lowered her head to look at their joined hands. She took Wandi's hand in hers, feeling how cold and light her once-strong hands had become, their sickly paleness seeming to foreshadow something ominous.

"Don't say that. I should say sorry. Oh, and make peace, of course..."

Feeling Wandi's body temperature, Jiang Zouwei's heart suddenly became heavy from the joy of reconciliation. She was a little incoherent, thinking of the terrible result, and in the end she burst into tears.

They were too familiar with each other. Wan Di wiped away Jiang Zouwei's tears and continued, "After you left, I thought a lot. Looking at the words in my diary, I recalled our past days. Because we were too familiar with each other, I neglected you and didn't realize that I had made such a mistake unintentionally. Seeing your name appear less and less, I realized how much I feared your leaving. Actually... I am very grateful that you came back today. I..."

As if realizing what Wan Di was about to say, Jiang Zouwei was about to interrupt, "Don't say it, don't say it yet." She lowered her head and saw what Wan Di was writing, and immediately pulled the paper out. "This is not enough, an apology is not enough, I want your compensation!"

The words on the paper were clearly written in black and white, but Jiang Zouwei suddenly couldn't understand what was in those words that sounded like a will.

After reconciling with her best friend, Wan Di felt the chest tightness she had been feeling for several days suddenly disappear. She watched Jiang Zouwei take the paper and had no intention of taking it back.

"I'll make it up to you. But now I want to rest for a while."

Jiang Zouwei also needed to calm down. She nodded and went out. As soon as she went out, she immediately walked towards Ying Zhao, "What's going on? Are all the treatments ineffective?"

Ying Zhao nodded with a worried look on his face. "The cause of the illness is unknown, and all treatments are just a matter of luck. The toxins in Wan Di's body are all acting at the same time, and some are even supposed to counteract each other."

Jiang Zouwei frowned as she listened; the situation seemed more complex than she'd imagined. She accidentally dropped the paper in her hand. As she bent down to pick it up and sat back on the sofa, she felt a sudden bump against her chest, as if it were about to fall. She lowered her head and pulled a broken necklace from her neck. The pendant on it was a small bottle filled with a blue, shiny, sand-like substance.

Jiang Zouwei held the bottle tightly. Are you worried too? she thought silently in her heart.

Then he immediately turned around and handed the bottle to Ying Zhao, "Take a look at this."

"What is this?" Ying Zhao carefully took the bottle and looked at it carefully.

"This is a panacea my sister made with her own hard work... Anyway, try it as a medicine."

Ying Zhao took the product and went to the lab without delay. The more she studied it, the more astonished she was. This was undoubtedly a work of genius. Things found everywhere in life were refined and then combined in precise proportions, thus creating a magical effect that transformed decay into something magical.

Such a good thing gave Ying Zhao hope at once, and he hurried back to the tree house after making it.

Jiang Zouwei took her things and opened Wandi's door again. Wandi hadn't lied to her and was still sound asleep. Jiang Zouwei looked at the beautiful blue on her hand, then at Wandi, and walked over with even more determination.

With every step she took, she thought about the origin of the blue pendant bottle.

Jiang Caiwei showed amazing talent in medicine, but she was more of a madman than a genius. Seeing countless deaths and injuries to her sisters, Caiwei worked day and night to develop new medicine.

This panacea has miraculous effects. It can not only heal wounds quickly, but also break down various strange poisons. It can literally bring people back to life.

When this miraculous medicine was discovered, it was in short supply all of a sudden. They were fighting because such a thing was really needed.

At the time, Jiang Zouwei was puzzled by Caiwei's slow pace in making the medicine, until one day Wandi issued an order prohibiting the manufacture and use of the panacea. Jiang Zouwei was as puzzled as everyone else: why would such a useful thing be banned?

But that day she discovered that the most important ingredient in this medicine was Caiwei's heart-activating blood circulation drug!

Shocked, sad, heartbroken, angry... a mixture of emotions filled my heart. I took the small bottle from Caiwei and said, "Sister, you and Wandi always rely on your strength to refuse this, but I'm always worried about unexpected accidents. I can promise that I won't make this medicine again, but in exchange, I hope you'll take this with you..."

Jiang Zouwei tied the bottle to a rope and hung it around her neck, and she never took it off again. After Caiwei passed away, she treasured this precious relic even more.

No matter what injury she suffered, Jiang Zouwei was reluctant to use it. Feeling the cold bottle mixed with her warm body temperature, it was as if her sister was still by her side.

Jiang Zouwei injected the liquid and dropped the syringe to the ground due to exhaustion. Jiang Zouwei didn't care. She stared at Wandi's condition. Please, it will work, it must work!

As time passed, Wanti's complexion became worse and worse. Jiang Zouwei felt the pain growing weaker and weaker at Wanti's wrist, and a huge panic enveloped her.

Jiang Zouwei felt her body stiffen, her mind blank, unable to think of anything. If... If it was really because of her that Wandi died, she would never be able to forgive herself until her death.

Tears as big as beans flowed out without Jiang Zouwei's will, but she saw Wandi suddenly move her eyes. After blinking slowly a few times, she slowly opened her eyes and Jiang Zouwei stared at her blankly.

Wandi's eyes were still sharp, and she noticed her difference at once. She reached out and touched Jiang Zouwei's neck, "Where's your necklace?"

Jiang Zouwei lowered his eyes, "It's broken."

Wan Di moved her body, Jiang Zouwei helped her up and then helped put a pillow behind Wan Di so that she could sit up.

Jiang Zouwei waited for Wandi to speak. She didn't know what she would say. Would she be angry?

Because they had agreed that neither of them would use the panacea pendant. They considered themselves dead in the fire, while the dead Caiwei lived on as a glittering gravel.

Wan Di hates people who act on their own. Jiang Zouwei has violated Wan Di's taboo by doing this privately.

"I don't regret doing this. If it were Caiwei herself, she would definitely do the same! In short..."

Wandi suddenly hugged Jiang Zouwei, "But it is so important to you..."

Jiang Zouwei, despite her cold exterior, is a very delicate and soft-hearted person. She finds it difficult to forget the suffering of people she met by chance, let alone the death of someone close to her.

During her sleep, Wandi was physically weak but mentally strong. She saw Jiang Zouwei feeling guilty, troubled, sad, and ignored by her, and she held the pendant tightly in her hands.

Feeling the same emotions as Jiang Zouwei, Wandi felt more and more guilty. Jiang Zouwei helped her protect and keep all the important things, but was she going to let Zouwei lose everything important to her?

"No!" Jiang Zouwei interrupted, her chin resting on Wandi's shoulder. When she heard the sound of their bones colliding, her voice suddenly lowered, "You are also important to me."

Because you are important to me, I cannot bear to see you go away; because you are precious to me, I cannot bear to see you suffer from such pain. I would rather we continue the cold war, as long as you are healthy...

The warmth in the bedroom was broken by a rapid knock on the door.

"Outside, a large group of enemies suddenly appeared outside. Some of them crossed the intersection barrier, and some flew in from the back!"
