Since everyone was severely sleep-deprived, for safety reasons, the elders announced that they would rest on the spot for a day and set out to look for someone tomorrow.
Shen Xingwan didn't find another chance to sneak out, so she had to put her hopes on the next day.
The next day, they set out again to look for Young Master White.
After hiking for about three hours, Shen Xingwan deliberately slowed down his pace and gradually fell behind the team.
The elder noticed this with caution and looked at Shen Xingwan suspiciously: "What's wrong now?"
Shen Xingwan covered her chest and gasped, "I'm so tired. Can I take a break?"
The older man glanced at his watch. "You're already tired after just a short walk? The eldest young master's life or death is still uncertain. Aren't you worried at all?"
Shen Xingwan: ...
Why was she so anxious? She had seen the yandere beauty's abilities before, and if no one held him back, he might be able to live longer than everyone else.
"Of course I'm anxious, but I really can't walk anymore, and I feel a little pain in my abdomen." As he spoke, Shen Xingwan touched his lower abdomen.
Seeing this, Helen immediately rushed forward anxiously: "Is the baby feeling uncomfortable? I heard that pregnant women should not be too tired."
Shen Xingwan looked confused: "Is that so? It seems that the baby is indeed feeling unwell."
Helen hurriedly trotted over to discuss with the elders: "Boss, why don't we let Miss Shen go back to the cave to rest for a while? This mountain is not big, we can search separately and finally come back here to meet up."
"No!" the elder refused flatly. "If she takes this opportunity to sneak away, no one can take the responsibility!"
Shen Xingwan forced a smile: "It's okay, I believe the baby will be as strong as its father, and nothing will happen. Besides, I'm also worried about the safety of the young master, so let's keep looking."
After hearing what Shen Xingwan said, not only Helen, but also the Yuri brothers became anxious.
"Boss, pregnancy is not a trivial matter. If we are really exhausted and lose the baby, we will be sinners for all eternity!" Yuri was so excited that he spoke faster than usual.
Eugene lowered his eyes and was lost in thought for a while, then looked up at Shen Xingwan.
“Boss, I can’t walk anymore, and following everyone will slow down the progress. How about I stay and take care of Miss Shen and wait for you to come back here.”
Eugene's words actually convinced the elder.
Now that he knew that Shen Xingwan was pregnant with their eldest young master's child, he didn't really want to abuse Shen Xingwan. On the contrary, he also treasured this child.
Eugene is a steady person who considers the overall situation. If he stays, there is no need to worry about Shen Xingwan sneaking away.
The elder nodded in agreement. "Then you can rest here for a while. If anything unexpected happens, contact us immediately using the communicator."
Eugene nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Before leaving, Helen specifically reminded Shen Xingwan: "Don't look at Eugene's usual seriousness, he is actually a good person. If you need anything, just tell Eugene, he will help you!"
Shen Xingwan smiled and agreed: "Okay, I will."
She knew that Eugene was a good man and Helen was very nice to her, but lies would eventually be exposed, and on that day good people would be forced to become bad people.
So, she couldn't stay any longer.
After returning to the cave, Eugene brought a bottle of water and handed it to Shen Xingwan: "Are you thirsty? This water is purified and safe to drink. It's good for the baby."
This is because I see that she usually drinks condensed water, which shows that she is quite considerate.
Shen Xingwan took it with a smile: "Thank you."
The two sat back to back across a stone, silent for a long while.
Shen Xingwan was not in a hurry either. She was waiting, waiting for a breakthrough.
Sure enough, Eugene spoke again.
"My brother told me that you saved me, and I haven't had the chance to thank you in person yet."
Shen Xingwan curled her red lips slightly: "It's just a small favor, but I accept your gratitude."
Shen Xingwan's frankness actually made Eugene relax.
He solemnly promised: "If you need my help, I will definitely help you."
Shen Xingwan raised an eyebrow: "Can you help me with anything?"
Eugene was stunned for a moment, then added, "As long as it doesn't ask me to betray the White Family, I can agree to it."
Shen Xingwan raised her red lips and said, "I understand. I'll owe you the debt for now. I might need your help soon."
Eugene didn't quite understand what Shen Xingwan said, but he nodded anyway. His life motto was to repay a favor.
A cold wind blew, and Eugene shivered and frowned.
Shen Xingwan looked towards him and spread out her hands: "Give me your hand."
Eugene was stunned and quickly shook his head to refuse.
The smile on Shen Xingwan's face widened: "Why are you so nervous? I just want to take your pulse. I only have your eldest young master in my heart and I am not interested in you."
Hearing this, Eugene's face instantly turned red, and the color spread all the way to the back of his ears: "I, I don't mean that."
Shen Xingwan didn't give Eugene another chance to refuse. She placed two fingers on Eugene's pulse and said, "It will be fine in a moment."
Eugene seemed to be scalded, but before he could react, Shen Xingwan withdrew her hand before him.
"Looks like you owe me another favor. There's still some residual toxin in your body that hasn't been expelled. Since I'm free right now, I'll give you another acupuncture treatment."
Eugene felt ashamed and regretful for his momentary distraction. Without a second thought, he shook his head and refused: "No need. That little bit of poison isn't fatal. It will heal naturally over time."
Shen Xingwan didn't force it, but just smiled playfully: "That's good, this way I won't be the only one holding the whole team back. I'm actually happy to have someone accompany me to rest here all the time."
Shen Xingwan pointed out the pain point, and Eugene's face turned red as if it was cooked.
He could clearly feel that because he was physically exhausted, the progress of the entire team in finding the young master was affected.
He really held the team back.
After a struggle, Eugene finally spoke: "Ms. Shen, I've figured it out. Then, then it's troublesome..."
"No trouble."
Shen Xingwan still had a faint smile on her face as she skillfully used the silver needles to give Eugene acupuncture, but she felt a surge of ecstasy in her heart.
First, let Eugene mention the life-saving grace to relax his vigilance, and then take his pulse and tell him that there is residual poison.
Finally, he realized that if he didn't get rid of the remaining poison, he would be holding the team back, so he asked for acupuncture.
Everything was going according to Shen Xingwan's plan, and Eugene never doubted her motives.
Silver needles were inserted into Eugene's body.
Shen Xingwan removed the last bit of the remaining poison for him, which she had deliberately left in Eugene's body. This was her last chance to save herself.
You can save your life or take this opportunity to escape.
Shen Xingwan glanced at the last silver needle in her hand, took a deep breath, and firmly inserted it into Eugene's sleeping point.
“Miss Shen, I, why do I feel a little sleepy…” Eugene’s eyelids drooped uncontrollably.
"This is normal. This means that the remaining toxins in your body have been expelled. Go to sleep..."
After Shen Xingwan said this, a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Eugene's body also fell down.
