Xirui's heart trembled, and she staggered back two steps, looking at the hooded man in shock.
"Are you crazy? How dare you attack a member of the council? Don't you want to live?!"
"snort!"
The hooded man snorted coldly.
"This is not your concern. If you still want to see your son, just do as I say. Otherwise..."
The hooded man's words were like a nail, each word a hammer, hammering the nail into Ciri's heart.
The heart-wrenching pain made her body stiff and she had no idea what to do.
Seeing that Xi Rui didn't speak for a long time, the hooded man became impatient.
"Humph, it seems you don't care about your son, then say goodbye to him here!"
Having said that, he turned around and made a gesture to leave.
"etc!"
Xirui subconsciously called out to the other person.
"Oh~, it seems you have thought it through."
The hooded man stopped and looked back at her.
"I... ..."
Despite her inner struggle, Xirui had no choice but to choose her son...
“Hehe~!”
Seeing Ciri like this, the hooded man smiled triumphantly and handed the bottle of potion to Ciri.
This time Xi Rui did not refuse.
"I hope you won't be as foolish as you were just now. You should know that only when you get things done can you see your son."
"... ...I see."
Xirui held the bottle tightly in her hands with trembling hands, her eyes were gray, she knew that no matter what the final outcome of this matter was, her normal life would be gone forever.
Ding~!
At this moment, the hooded man suddenly threw another purse to Xi Rui.
“This is…”
"This is your reward. If everything goes well, not only will you be able to see your son, you'll also get some money to leave here and start a new life somewhere else. So, we're treating you well, aren't we? Don't try to play any tricks on us."
“… …”
Xirui silently put away the purse.
Of course, the hooded man was not really paying her. His purpose was just to let her see more ways out. As long as people see hope, they will not give up so easily. In this way, the probability of her going all out and exposing this matter to others would be greatly reduced.
"Then I will wait quietly for your good news~!"
After doing all this, the hooded man turned and left, while Xi Rui stayed where she was, unable to move for a long time.
... ...
The mansion of the white cat royal family.
"Xiri, you came back a little late today."
Seeing Xi Rui coming back, the head chef standing at the entrance of the kitchen spoke.
"Ah... sorry."
"Hmm? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing Xirui's absent-minded look, the head chef asked with concern.
"Ah... no..." Xi Rui was about to deny it, but then changed her words and admitted, "No, I do feel a little uncomfortable..."
"It seems like you need to take a good rest. After you finish this little thing, you can go back and rest today."
"yes... ..."
Ciri murmured in response.
"Everything has been delivered, come and confirm it."
"OK... ..."
It was at this time that Xirui discovered that the ordered ingredients had been delivered, and several young men in charge of delivery were chatting not far away.
"Sorry, it seems I did waste quite a bit of time."
"It's okay."
The chef didn't care about these little things.
Xirui walked over to the box containing the ingredients and checked its sealing condition.
"No problem, that's what I ordered."
"Okay, in that case, you can sign for it!"
The head chef turned and looked at the young men.
"Could you please help me move these things into the kitchen?"
"no problem!"
Several young men came over.
Soon, all the ingredients were moved into the kitchen.
"Master, can we go now?"
"Can."
The chef handed them the receipt for confirmation and let them leave.
After those people left, the chef looked at Xirui who was still standing beside him.
"Xiri, you can go back first."
"Well... ..."
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"No, no..."
"Um, I don't seem to remember if I missed anything when I was reading the list. Can you open the box and check if there are any ingredients missing?"
"Now?"
The head chef looked around the entire kitchen. It was still early for work, and there was no one else inside except the two of them.
"Is your condition serious?"
"No, I don't think so... But I do feel a little dizzy."
"Hmm..." The head chef thought for a moment, "Okay, let's open it later. It won't make any difference if we open it now, so let's take inventory."
"Sorry to trouble you..."
"It doesn't matter."
The chef found tools, opened the ingredient box, and checked it carefully.
After a while.
“Nothing went wrong, nothing was missed.”
