Chapter 610 I wonder how many days you can be so affectionate while holding a corpse.
"..."
Xia Xun stared at the glaring message, her fingers gripping the phone so tightly they turned bloodless.
Li Xiao contacted her yesterday.
She had considered telling the children about it.
But she knew Li Xiao's character all too well; angering him would definitely destroy the antidote.
Moreover, Li Xiao is currently penniless.
Giving up entirely is even more terrifying.
Xia Xun paused for a few seconds, then slowly typed out a few words: "I agree."
——
The next day.
After working through several nights in the lab, Pei Jinwu slept until she naturally woke up.
I've finished washing up.
Before I even stepped out of my room, the phone rang suddenly.
"It's from Instructor Black Fox." Shang Shiyan answered the phone and handed it to her.
"Hello."
Pei Jinwu held the red date milk and took a small sip.
"Wuwu, is your mother with you?" Black Fox asked, his tone revealing obvious urgency.
"No."
Pei Jinwu paused in her milk-drinking motion, put down the cup, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
“After dinner last night, my mother said she had been drinking and felt a little dizzy, so she wanted to go back to her room to rest and asked us not to disturb her.”
Black Fox explained, word by word: "I went to look for someone just now and found the room empty, and the bed showed no signs of having been touched."
"knew."
Pei Jinwu frowned, and after hanging up the phone, she said to Shang Shiyan, "My mother went to find Li Xiao."
"..."
Shang Shiyan stood there, a hint of shock appearing on his handsome face.
——
soon.
The seven siblings gathered together.
Everyone's eyes turned to the younger sister's face, which was pursed and looked unpleasant.
“This is a letter left by Mom.” Jiang Jibai handed the note to Pei Jinwu: “Mom said that Dad has sacrificed a lot for her over the years, and she wants to do something for him.”
"They also said that Li Xiao wouldn't hurt her and that we shouldn't worry. They said that once they get the antidote, they'll find a chance to contact us or escape."
"..."
Pei Jinwu stared at the letter without saying a word.
“The S Alliance checked the surveillance footage and confirmed that your aunt did leave the base.”
Shang Shiyan pushed the door open and came in, his expression serious: "She just bypassed all the surveillance cameras."
"That beast Li Xiao, what exactly is he trying to do?" Song Mingji slammed his fist on the table in anger, his face turning ashen.
"What does it mean that Mom said Li Xiao won't kill her?"
Shen Qianhua stroked her slightly protruding pregnant belly and asked in confusion.
“Because Li Xiao likes Mom.” Pei Jinwu replied hoarsely, her tone full of disgust.
"What?"
The others were shocked by this statement, their eyes widening in disbelief: "Isn't Li Xiao his maternal grandfather's adopted son? Theoretically, he's his mother's brother, how could he possibly like his own..."
"That's why he's called a beast."
Pei Jinwu gripped the letter tightly, her pale face cold and stern: "Don't tell Dad about this for now. He's just recovered and can't handle any stress."
"You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever," Jiang Jibai said.
"I will find the person as soon as possible."
Pei Jinwu got up and walked out, with Shang Shiyan following closely behind.
——
In a dimly lit room.
Everything was dilapidated, and the air reeked of a nauseating stench of decay.
"Where's the antidote?"
Xia Xun stood at the door, his gaze calmly fixed on the disheveled Li Xiao inside the room.
"I didn't expect you to actually dare to come."
Li Xiao slowly stood up, a smirk playing on his lips, a smile a mixture of anger and jealousy: "What's so good about Sheng Beitang, this half-dead thing, that makes you risk your life for him time and time again?"
"Because I love him, because he is Sheng Beitang."
Xia Xun wore a plain-colored long dress, her hair was gently pinned up with a hairpin, looking gentle and beautiful. "I am willing to risk my life for him again and again."
"What? Are you jealous? Envious?"
Xia Xun slightly raised her chin, her bright and deep eyes beneath her eyelashes were calm and undisturbed, but her gentle tone was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Li Xiao's heart.
very good.
She always knew how to hit him where it hurt.
"Aren't you afraid I'll break my promise and not give you the antidote?" Li Xiao sneered.
"I'm scared."
Xia Xun parted his lips and said slowly, "Sheng Beitang is dead, and I will not live on alone."
"You really want me, huh? I bet you can be all lovey-dovey for days while you're cuddling a corpse."
"..."
Li Xiao was speechless after being rebuked, his face turning ashen.
"Give me the antidote." Xia Xun's face was expressionless, and his voice was cold and sharp.
"..."
Li Xiao stood still, staring coldly at her.
"Give me the antidote!" Xia Xun didn't want to waste time arguing with him, so she took out a fruit knife she had prepared in advance and pressed it against his fair neck.
The force was too great, and the sharp blade sliced through the neck, revealing a shallow bloodstain.
"I'll give it to you."
Li Xiao's expression immediately changed, and he handed the antidote ingredients to Xia Xun.
“I’ll go with you to deliver the medicine.” Li Xiao snatched the antidote back, pressed the gun against Xia Xun’s waist, and said coldly, “Xun, you’d better behave yourself. Otherwise, the three of us will die together.”
Her daughter is quite capable; she ruined his decades of hard work in just half a month.
They even ordered a manhunt, leaving him like a stray dog.
Without research and without Ah Xun, he would have given up on life long ago.
"good."
Once the ingredients were confirmed to be correct, Xia Xun nodded in agreement.
——
Next.
Li Xiao led her in a car for a long time until they arrived at the outskirts of the capital.
A small shop in a remote location, without any security cameras.
"Please call this number in half an hour." Xia Xun took out a wad of cash, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said gratefully, "This is life-saving medicine. Please make sure to notify them to come and pick it up."
"Life-saving medicine?"
The shop owner, a middle-aged woman, quickly shook her head upon hearing this: "I can't accept the money, but I'll call for the medicine for you."
"But why don't you do it yourself?" The shopkeeper looked at Xia Xun, whose face was pale, then at the man in a baseball cap and all black behind her, his expression strange. "Are you alright? Do you need me..."
"Mind your own business."
Li Xiao gripped his gun tightly, a ruthless glint in his eyes, his killing intent palpable.
"It's nothing, thank you for your help."
Fearing that he would implicate the shop owner, Xia Xun denied it and hurriedly turned and left.
After the two figures disappeared.
The shop owner stared into thought as he looked at the medicine bottle and the thick wad of cash in front of him.
What's going on?
Could it be a kidnapping?
Should she report it to the police now?
But I'm also afraid that if I report it to the police, the other party will kill me, or I'm even more afraid that it's a misunderstanding.
After much deliberation.
The boss picked up his phone and dialed the number Xia Xun had left behind.
Pei Jinwu and Shang Shiyan arrived at the scene half an hour later.
The helicopter I was in.
“I’ve been gone for quite a while.” The shopkeeper pointed to the road and said, “There are so many side streets here, I’m not sure which way we went.”
"Thanks."
Pei Jinwu picked up the medicine, examined it carefully for a few seconds, and said in a low, hoarse voice: "Send people to search separately."
Although……
The chances of finding it are slim.
"Um."
Shang Shiyan nodded, and after finishing the call, he took her hand and said, "Send the medicine back to the lab first."
The antidote that my aunt risked her life to get back must not be compromised.
"Also, your older brother just said that he already knows about Aunt Xia's matter."
Pei Jinwu: "..."

There will be more updates.
