"Miss Su! Come on, come on, boiled pork slices! You like it the most, so I've added enough ingredients for you, it's guaranteed to whet your appetite!"
Li Kui was holding a pot of red dishes, shouting. As soon as the dishes were served, the aroma of chili spread instantly, making people's appetites grow.
Su Wan's eyes lit up, "It smells so good! Li Kui, your cooking skills are amazing!"
She picked up the chopsticks and started eating. She was exhausted from the trip and ate five bowls of rice in one go. She almost licked the bottom of the bowl clean. The hunger was intense and strange.
Li Kui came closer to look at Su Wan carefully, his eyes almost touching her face: "Miss Su, why do I think you seem to be a little thinner?"
"Your face looks smaller! You have such a big appetite, you should gain weight!"
"No, this amount of food shouldn't be this big!" He scratched the back of his head, puzzled. As he started to clear the table, he was still muttering, "This is weird. How can I lose weight after eating so much..."
Li Kui was just a young man in his 20s, how could he be wrong... Su Wan subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and the waist of her pants seemed to be looser. Her lower abdomen seemed to be a little more swollen than usual.
Her fingertips gently touched her lower abdomen, and she felt a strange feeling there, as if something was quietly changing inside.
"Oh my god!" She wailed in her heart, "Is everything written in novels true? Will you lose weight in the early stages of pregnancy? But my belly is obviously getting bigger! What's wrong with this!"
She recalled the plots in those melodramatic novels, where the fetus absorbs nutrients in the early stages of pregnancy, and the whole person becomes as thin as a bamboo pole. She panicked immediately: "I won't be killed by this little thing in my stomach!"
"Squeak——" the door opened.
Lu Shiyan walked in, still carrying the cold air from outside.
"Boss!" Li Kui rushed over and swiftly took the coat that Lu Shiyan had taken off. His lackey-like appearance made Li Xinhu in the corner roll his eyes. "You're back! Are you starving? Come on, the food is just being heated up! Miss Su ate five big bowls!"
Li Xinhu in the corner twitched his mouth fiercely, and rolled his eyes in his heart: "This stinky boy, flatters the mountain! He wishes he could worship Lu Shiyan as his own father!"
Lu Shiyan walked straight to the table and sat down. He picked up the chopsticks and glanced at Su Wan, pausing slightly. The woman's face was indeed a little pale, but her eyes were bright, like a kitten who had just eaten. "What's wrong? You don't look well."
Su Wan shuddered, came back to her senses, and quickly waved her hands: "Ah? It's okay! It's just... I ate too much! Look at my belly!"
She patted her belly subconsciously, then suddenly realized something and quickly withdrew her hand.
She quickly changed the subject: "By the way, how was your meeting today? Was old man Lei Lao Hu easy to talk to?"
Lu Shiyan took a bite of food and swallowed it calmly, saying, "It went smoothly. There was a change in position."
He said a few simple words, and Su Wan was confused, but she firmly believed that the male protagonist's judgment was absolutely correct. Anyway, she just had to cling to his thighs, and leave the rest to Lu Shiyan.
A strong sense of sleepiness came over her like a tidal wave, and she yawned twice in a row: "I... I'm going to sleep first. This sleepiness is coming so strongly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Han's angry scream came from the inner room: "My porridge! Is my health porridge ready?!"
"Ahhh! You're so busy taking care of the pregnant woman that no one cares about me, a sick patient, right?! Su Wan, you're such a heartless person!"
Ah Mo stood up suddenly and said apologetically, "Brother Han's porridge... I'll go check it out."
He hurried to the inner room: "Those precious herbs that Miss Su gave me, I have been watching the fire, it should be almost done."
Su Wan rubbed his temples and muttered, "He thinks the ready-made porridge in the space is not nutritious and insists on having a medicinal diet... That's good, it will help him recover from his injuries."
She stood up and walked towards the room, her steps a little unsteady. Lu Shiyan's gaze lingered on her back for a moment.
Meanwhile, in Area B, the scorpion's lair.
A basement that never sees sunlight all year round, is dark and damp, and exudes a strong smell of mold and blood.
"Bang--!!!"
A deafening bang!
The valuable mahogany table was smashed to pieces by a hand covered with hideous scars! Wood chips mixed with broken teacup porcelain pieces were scattered everywhere!
Scorpion's originally fierce face was now even more livid, his eyes bloodshot and red, as if he had just been fished out of a pool of blood, flashing with a fierce light that was ready to devour anyone! His entire aura was as cold as a demon crawling out of hell.
On the ground, seven or eight little leaders were kneeling and trembling, their heads buried in their crotches, not daring to even breathe.
The air was filled with the smell of fear, and the crotches of several people were wet.
"Blackface Wolf is dead?! The whole cannery was fucking blown to the sky?!"
Scorpion's voice was as hoarse as two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a strong murderous aura!
He kicked over a copper basin filled with ice cubes next to him, and the ice cubes rolled all over the floor, making crisp clatters in the dim basement.
"I have worked hard for more than ten years to save up my fortune! In one night! It's all gone?!" Scorpion's roar echoed in the small space, "I risked my life to get those goods! I dug them out box by box from the pile of dead bodies!"
The nearest small leader was so trembling with fear that his whole body shook. He raised his head with a trembling voice, "Boss... Boss... It was... It was that newcomer Lu Shiyan who did it... We found the body of Black-faced Wolf Brother. His throat was cut open with a knife. He died miserably..."
"Lu Shiyan?!"
There was a fierce light flashing in Scorpion's eyes. This name was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart!
He gnashed his teeth and roared, "That old bastard Lei Lao Hu! What the hell did he find? How dare you touch my Scorpion's territory!"
Another small leader kneeling on the ground added in a tearful voice: "Boss, the cannery is now just a ruin. There's not even a complete brick left. Our people... are gone too."
Of course Scorpion knew what this meant! What he lost was not only the visible weapons and supplies, but also the deterrent power he had built up in this base where the weak are the prey of the strong! This explosion almost broke his spine!
"Very good! Very good!"
The scorpion suddenly opened its mouth nervously and let out a strange "ho ho ho" laugh, "Lu Shiyan, right? You're capable! Really capable!"
He suddenly raised his voice, "What a pity that such a good sword stands against me! In this case..."
"Go find that boy! Tell him there's work to do!"
