"Several groups of people died before we found the key to smelting. Currently, all the smelting on the island has been completed."
"Have any special people been to that island, or any places you feel are not frequented?"
Think about it, see if there's anything unusual. And those people who delivered supplies, you should know a little about where they're from, right?
“I know. When they don’t want to retrieve it, they send me down to get it. I’ve already spoken to the person who comes.”
"Okay, you can go and get it later. We'll see which way he went back."
"Okay, no problem."
Fortunately, their boats were transporting supplies on the other side of the island, and the delivery teams were also on the other side.
As the small boat drew closer, Chen Da, just like before, reacted as it approached.
As they slowly descended the reef, the supply stones were already prepared, and they began to pass the supplies up to them.
Chen Da watched as the man greeted her as before, then took the delivered supplies one by one. "I feel like there are far fewer today," she remarked.
Shi Tou looked at Chen Da and said, "Things have been hard to get lately, so we'll leave these for now. We can send more next time."
Chen Da nodded, picked up the things, and walked upstairs.
Shen Junjie and the others kept a close eye on the man's actions, and thankfully everything went smoothly.
Watching the stone disappear into the distance, they finally felt relieved and slowly moved forward with their belongings.
People are already following him to see which village in the mainland he's from.
They took the supplies they had retrieved and put them inside the house; they wouldn't take them back.
This island is still part of our country on the map, but the little people have overlooked it. Little did they know that there is a natural hot spring here.
Knowing that the island exists, it's certain that someone must be stationed on it.
The island has a beautiful environment and hot springs, making it a great place to relax.
Fortunately, they were not discovered by these people when they arrived on the island, and they completed their mission smoothly.
Following the clues in Beijing, they found something at the places described by Song Yining.
However, in order to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, we can only proceed slowly and thoroughly investigate the Tao family's influence.
They also discovered that the person who had close ties with the eldest son of the Tao family was a researcher at the research institute, who had only been admitted in the last two years.
The two maintained close contact, and everyone at the research institute had become extremely cautious since those people had been reassigned.
There were always problems with the nucleic acid test data, so everyone could only keep quiet and work hard in their own positions.
Chen Shuting always felt like someone was watching them. Ever since those people were sent down to the countryside, she hadn't been able to find those documents, and she felt particularly uncomfortable.
Lately, I've felt that Tao Yilang has become much colder towards me. Knowing that I haven't done things well, I can only remain silent.
Seeing those who hadn't left the research institute made him extremely uncomfortable.
Chen Shuting was abandoned by her family, and in order to get close to the Tao family, she offended many people.
Even her former mentor, who had taken good care of her, was someone she reported.
It's just that very few people know that in the past six months, whenever she disliked someone, her house was reported and ransacked.
Those who can enter the research institute are all highly educated, and any family they randomly pick has a rich history and tradition.
Therefore, Tao Yilang still respects him, but recently they have not been able to find the data they want.
The more Chen Shuting sensed the perfunctory attitude, the less patient she seemed to be with herself.
This made her increasingly uneasy, because her family had disapproved of her relationship with him from the beginning.
Only then did she feel a sense of panic. Could it be that he really was just using her, just as her family had said?
Anxiety continued to spread, and the more anxious Chen Shuting became, the more she felt she was being treated perfunctorily.
Gradually, she realized that Tao Yilang might have been using her, and now that she had no value, he was going to abandon her.
Looking at the cozy house, which he had painstakingly built for himself, and which he had broken with his family for, she felt a deep sense of gratitude.
In the end, all she had was this lonely house and herself, having betrayed many people for him.
Now how am I supposed to live? I was thinking that once I became Mrs. Tao, I wouldn't have to see these people anymore.
Now his beautiful dream is about to be shattered, and he can only sit in his room with a bitter smile.
Thinking back to how decisively her family and she were separated back then, she wondered if it was too late for her to go back now.
The more stubborn I was back then, the more I regret it now; I was so foolish.
Chen Shuting covered herself up very tightly and secretly went to the black market to buy a strong aphrodisiac.
Before leaving, Chen Shuting went in again and bought a slow-acting poison and a potent poison, making her final decision.
If Tao Yilang is truly using me, then I will not be polite to them either.
Don't be fooled by women's easygoing nature; they can be incredibly ruthless when they want to be.
That evening, Chen Shuting invited Tao Yilang to the courtyard and prepared a delicious dinner.
Tao Yilang came over and looked at the dinner table. He felt that this woman must be upset that he hadn't contacted her recently.
"Oh! I've been so busy lately, I haven't had time to come over, darling, please don't be angry."
Chen Shuting now felt a distance between them, and simply listened as the man spoke.
She still acted pitiful and looked like she loved him.
"I thought you had forgotten about me. I know I haven't been able to help you lately and have delayed your affairs. I understand completely."
"Okay, I thought you were angry. In a while, I'll take you to my house so they can all get to know you."
"Really? You're not kidding me!" Chen Shuting was already cursing in her heart. This guy really was lying to her, coaxing her without even blinking an eye.
"How could that be? You've already fallen out with your family for me, how could I abandon you? Don't worry, I will definitely marry you."
"Then I'll be waiting for you. Don't try anything funny. I've even broken ties with my family for you."
"Okay, I understand. I've been very busy lately. I have to go back to work after I finish eating. There are some things I haven't finished taking care of."
"Okay, then eat up. I put a lot of effort into making this fish; there's not a trace of fishiness."
"Great! Your cooking is getting better and better. You should eat now!"
"It's okay, just eat quickly. I love watching you eat; it proves my cooking skills haven't been wasted."
Tao Yilang had no idea that the dishes he ate were all spiked with ingredients.
I'll visit the Tao family another day and let them taste the medicine.
Chen Shuting kept adding food to Tao Yilang's plate, and he finally got to eat a full meal, which was a rare treat for him today.
I've been incredibly busy lately, just grabbing a bite to eat, and rarely have a satisfying meal like this.
Chen Shuting watched as the four dishes and one soup on the table were almost finished before she contentedly pulled the man to sit down beside her.
Tao Yilang had eaten his fill and, after checking the time, quickly said goodbye to Chen Shuting.
"Shuting, wait for me a little longer. We'll get married as soon as I'm done with this."
“It’s okay, I’m not busy lately. I’ll go visit Grandma Tao and Grandpa when I have time.”
