Chapter 59, Dog bites dog
Luo Rui went to the study to report on her work. Zhou Jian reluctantly took He Ru to visit the apartment. On the way, they met Jiang Yu. The man pretended not to see He Ru and went into the room dejectedly.
"Haha." Zhou Jian glanced at the pale He Ru with a sarcastic look on his face, hinting, "You don't know, our new captain has very high standards for the team members - I heard from Qiao Qiao that there was a person with special abilities hanging out with ordinary people in the team before, and the captain directly expelled that person."
He Ru naturally knew that she was laughing at her, but now that she had something to ask for, she could only pretend not to understand and laughed along.
After the tour, Zhou Jian led He Ru to the living room. "The rest of the team is out on a mission and hasn't returned yet. There should be extra lunch today. Please sit down first. I'll pour you a glass of water."
Every word Zhou Jian said was an insult. He Ru clenched her hands and forced a smile: "Thank you."
"I don't deserve it. After all, Ruirui asked me to treat you well."
Zhou Jian went to the kitchen. He Ru was looking around when she heard the sound of a door opening behind her. Qiao Qiao, who had just greeted them, came out of the room supporting someone.
"Sister Yuzu, lunch will be ready soon. Please sit on the sofa for a while."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Qiao Qiao."
The girl was not good-looking, with a thin figure and one of her legs was empty from the knee down. She had to rely on Qiao Qiao's support to walk to the sofa and sit down.
"Oh, she is Ruirui's friend."
"Ruirui's friend?" The woman nodded slightly at He Ru, neither close nor distant. "Hello."
"Hello." He Ru responded timidly.
The woman frowned, feeling that the other person's tone sounded a little strange, as if she had bullied her.
…
In the study, Luo Rui looked at the woman in black uniform opposite her with a wary look in her eyes.
"You said you're here to invite us to the Shen family's party tonight?" Luo Rui said calmly, "It's a Shen family gathering. I don't think outsiders like us need to go."
"Miss Luo, you misunderstood." The woman said expressionlessly, "It has nothing to do with the party. I just wanted to introduce you to Master Shen, and today happens to be a good day."
"Oh?" The man sitting at the desk smiled gently, "I'm not interested in the disputes between Commander Shen and your base. Captain Wei, please go back."
"If I say my people can cure your girlfriend's illness..." Wei Ya Ge paused, and waited for the man to look her in the eye before she spoke slowly, "Even so, Captain Xue, will you still reject me?"
The man pursed his lips and didn't reply immediately.
"Haha." Luo Rui stared at the woman opposite and chuckled softly, "It seems that Captain Wei is determined to introduce us to Chen Shuai no matter what - I'm a little curious, why is Captain Wei so insistent?"
"No reason," Wei Ya Ge said, "but I just saw that you guys performed very well, and the base needs combat power right now."
"Is that all?" Luo Rui glanced at Xie Chengzhi. After exchanging glances, she said bluntly, "I thought Captain Wei came to us because of Ranran."
Knowing her identity, she still revealed her purpose in one sentence? Wei Yage looked Luo Rui in the eye for the first time: "Why do you say that?"
"It seems that all the old people in the base know that Shen Shuai and Professor Si are not on good terms - Ranran is a member of the Shen family, and is also closely involved with Professor Si..." Some things should be said at the very least.
Wei Yage looked at Luo Rui with interest. "It seems that Miss Luo has already received a lot of information in just a few days at the base."
The woman stood up and placed the invitation on the table. "That's all I have to say. Please consider carefully whether you will come or not."
After seeing Wei Ya Ge off, Xue Weixin picked up the invitation on the table and threw it into Xie Chengzhi's hands: "You go."
"Eh?" Xie Chengzhi frowned. "Brother Xue, aren't you going? That woman said she can cure Sister Youzi's illness..."
"Just listen to her nonsense." The man's gentle manner changed, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes. "How can she cure it? Just her mouth?"
Knowing that pomelo is a man's bottom line, Luo Rui sighed: "Weixin, if Wei Ya Ge really has a way..."
"There won't be a way." Xue Weixin smiled coldly, "If there was a way, I would have tried it long ago."
Even Professor Si and Shen Yao said they couldn't find a cure for the time being. So, how could they rely on just Wei Ya Ge? Haha.
"But it's a good thing that she's willing to introduce you." Xue Weixin thought, tapping his fingers on the table, "It would be a shame not to go."
Luo Rui also meant this: "Then Captain, you..."
"I'm not going." Xue Weixin frowned and said bluntly, "I quit the Ability Team just because I didn't like the open and secret fighting among them. Now I'm asking me to go back. I'm not stupid. If you go, be careful too. I'm afraid tonight's banquet will be more than simple."
"Don't worry about that. We are well aware of it."
As soon as Xie Chengzhi finished speaking, a scream was heard in the living room, followed by a crackling sound.
The three people in the study changed their expressions slightly. Luo Rui said helplessly, "It seems something happened to He Ru. I'll go out and take a look."
…
In the living room, He Ru stood by the sofa, her whole body trembling. She looked at the woman curled up on the ground and kept muttering, "It's not me, it's not me..."
Zhou Jian, who was waiting to watch the show, also didn't expect it to turn out like this. She froze in place, at a loss as to what to do.
"Yuzi!" Qiao Qiao, who arrived first, was so frightened that she dropped the plate. She rushed to the sofa and helped the woman up. "Yuzi! Yuzi!" She called out twice, but when she saw the woman's eyes were tightly closed and she didn't respond, her voice unconsciously became tearful. "Weixin! Weixin! Yuzi is in trouble!"
The man quickly came out of the study.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know..." Qiao Qiao said anxiously, "I was in the kitchen for just a short while, and when I came out, Yuzu was like this!"
"Give it to me." Xue Weixin took his girlfriend from Qiao Qiao's hands and checked her breathing and heartbeat, his expression growing darker. He glanced at the broken glass and water stains on the ground, then looked up at the two terrified women and shouted, "What did you give her to drink?!"
"It wasn't me! It was her...it was her!" He Ru immediately pointed at Zhou Jian after being yelled at by the man, "She poured the water! I don't know what happened!"
"Nonsense!" Knowing how much men value their lovers, Zhou Jian only wanted to shift the blame. "There was nothing wrong with the water I gave Sister Youzi! You changed the cup while I wasn't paying attention, right? It was you!"
"So, the water you gave me is problematic?" He Ru caught the loophole in her words and said, "You poisoned the water?!"
"I……"
"Shut up!" The man punched the wall, his eyes red as he looked at Zhou Jian, asking word by word, "What did you put in the water?"
"No, I..."
"explain!"
"..." Zhou Jian shivered with fear and looked to Luo Rui for help. Luo Rui walked over to her and patted her shoulder soothingly. "Tell me, Zhou Zhou, what did you put in He Ru's water?"
She emphasized that the glass of water was for He Ru, intending to show that Zhou Jian did not intentionally hurt Youzi, but it was He Ru who caused the trouble and caused the woman to be accidentally injured.
"I..." Zhou Jian choked up and whispered, "The glass of water I gave He Ru was untreated polluted water."
That is to say, there is a high possibility of virus in that glass of water.
She originally thought that He Ru was an ordinary person, and after drinking the glass of water she turned into a zombie, so she could justify killing her. However, He Ru gave the water to Youzi.
"Zhou Jian! How could you do this?" He Ru screamed upon hearing the answer, pounced on Zhou Jian and tore his hair. "We've been together all this time, and we've shared hardships together. You invited me up here just to harm me? You're horrible!"
"Friendship? You have the nerve to mention friendship to me? He Ru, don't you feel disgusted when you say such things?!"
The two girls started fighting and the scene was chaotic for a while.
