30: rage

Su Mianmian nodded and hummed in acknowledgment.

Following book book's instructions, she broke off a third of the detoxifying pill and put it into Su Jinxuan's mouth.

As soon as the detoxifying pill entered his mouth, it quickly melted.

Su Mianmian only relaxed after seeing Su Jinxuan swallow it.

She put the remaining medicine into a box.

As for the other complete pills, she put them into another box.

This time, she successfully developed six pills in total.

Su Mianmian almost wanted to laugh.

She hadn't expected such a high failure rate.

Fortunately, it wasn't a complete failure like before.

Su Mianmian stayed until the next day to feed Su Jinxuan his medicine before she left.

She entrusted the task of feeding him spirit spring water to book book.

"Thank you for your hard work, book book darling!"

"He's my brother, you must take good care of him!"

"Love you, I'm leaving now!"

Su Mianmian blew a kiss to book book, then flashed out.

As she exited, she happened to see Shi Xu.

When Su Mianmian saw him, she felt as if an eternity had passed.

Seeing Su Mianmian act as if she didn't recognize him, Shi Xu asked with a puzzled expression, "What, do you not recognize me so soon?"

Su Mianmian quickly explained, "You don't know, more than a month has passed inside the space!"

Shi Xu was stunned when he heard this.

No wonder Su Mianmian looked bewildered when she saw him; so that was why.

After understanding, Shi Xu became curious as to why she had stayed inside for so long.

Su Mianmian didn't hide anything; she told him what had happened.

When Shi Xu learned that Su Jinxuan was unconscious due to poisoning, he was furious.

"How dare someone poison Su Jinxuan!"

"I will definitely find this person!"

Shi Xu's eyes were filled with uncontrollable killing intent.

Upon seeing this, Su Mianmian not only didn't feel scared; on the contrary, she felt a profound sense of security.

Shi Xu was so angry, he would definitely find the person who harmed Su Jinxuan.

Su Mianmian felt relieved.

"Mianmian, you've worked hard."

"Do you want to rest?"

Shi Xu reached out and patted her shoulder.

Seeing that he seemed to have something urgent to attend to, Su Mianmian nodded, going along with his suggestion.

As soon as Su Mianmian left, Shi Xu went out with a cold expression.

He drove to a villa built on a mountaintop.

This was his new secret base, filled with trustworthy people.

The guards at the gate saw his car and quickly opened the door.

Shi Xu drove in smoothly.

As soon as he turned off the engine, someone opened the car door for him.

Shi Xu unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the car.

"Boss, why are you suddenly here?"

"Do you have any instructions?"

The person who came was Xu Qing, and he found it very strange that Shi Xu's car appeared here at this time.

"There's something, and since you're free, I'm entrusting it to you," Shi Xu said, looking at the curious Xu Qing, directly assigning him the task.

Xu Qing: "..."

He looked at Shi Xu with a bewildered expression, as if wondering if he was joking.

Seeing Shi Xu's serious face, he inwardly collapsed and questioned why he had said those words just now.

Shi Xu didn't give him a chance to refuse; seeing no one else around, he directly told him what had happened.

"What?"

"Boss, is this true?"

Xu Qing hadn't expected the matter to involve Su Jinxuan, and he was even more surprised that someone had secretly poisoned him.

To be able to poison him right under so many people's noses, it definitely wasn't an outsider.

Could it be that they had another mole among them?

Xu Qing was now full of questions, and seeing him like this, Shi Xu gave him a hint.

"You can check among those who were taking care of him, who has poor family conditions."

"Or see who acquired a large sum of money during this period."

"Investigate thoroughly. If you can't find anything, I'll send you to the mountains."

After Shi Xu finished speaking, he felt there was no need to stay, turned, got back in his car, and left.

He left Xu Qing standing alone, pondering life.

"Xu Qing, what did the boss tell you?"

A curious voice reached Xu Qing's ears, awakening his consciousness.

He turned his head and saw Qin Xi.

"Nothing much, Qin Xi, why are you here?"

Xu Qing looked at him with a puzzled expression; wasn't he supposed to be doing experiments right now?

"Don't even ask, I accidentally blew up the lab."

"Can you believe it?"

Qin Xi spread his hands, saying with an expression of utter despair.

Xu Qing: "..."

"Uh, then good luck to you!"

"The boss gave me a task; I'm going to take care of it first."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he didn't stay for another second, turning and quickly departing.

"Hey, aren't you going to stay and help me?" Qin Xi shouted, looking at his retreating back.

Xu Qing pretended not to hear him, but his footsteps involuntarily quickened.

He didn't know what was going on with Qin Xi; every time he did research, he managed to blow up the lab.

He was responsible for protecting Shi Xu's personal safety, as well as investigating matters for him.

Qin Xi, on the other hand, was responsible for researching things Shi Xu asked him to, and creating new inventions.

Xu Qing found himself very reliable, while Qin Xi was not reliable at all.

By the time Shi Xu returned home, it was already eight in the evening.

He returned to the villa and saw Su Mianmian putting things from the living room into her space.

"Did you buy a lot of supplies again today?"

Shi Xu's sudden voice startled Su Mianmian.

"You scared me! Why are you back so soon!" Su Mianmian patted her chest, looking at Shi Xu with a still-frightened expression.

Seeing that he had scared her, a hint of guilt flashed in Shi Xu's eyes, and he nodded, humming "Mm."

Seeing his tired expression, Su Mianmian couldn't help but urge him to go back and rest.

Shi Xu nodded. After he left, Su Mianmian continued to pack things away.

Tomorrow, when Butler Li came in, he would surely say again that he had been sleeping very well recently.

Su Mianmian shook her head; how could he be sleeping well? It was clearly just that no cars had come to move things.

After she finished tidying up, she went back.

Now, the space was overflowing with produce; she had planted all sorts of fruits that she didn't have before.

The same went for vegetables.

Rice, wheat, and various beans had already been harvested several times.

Su Mianmian felt that even if they didn't go abroad to collect supplies, they wouldn't starve.

But who ever thought they had too many supplies?

Tomorrow, they were going to collect the supplies that Father Shi and Mother Shi had gathered, and she wondered how much they had collected.

Su Mianmian was very much looking forward to it.

The result of her anticipation was that she almost didn't wake up.

Shi Xu was drinking tea downstairs when he heard a bustling sound. He turned his head and saw Su Mianmian rushing down the stairs. He frowned and said, "Mianmian, what's the rush!"

His tone was a little stern, and Su Mianmian instinctively slowed her steps.

"I woke up too late and was worried you had left."

"Luckily, you haven't left yet."

Su Mianmian didn't dwell on Shi Xu's slightly harsh tone just now; she knew he was worried she might fall.

Shi Xu hadn't expected Su Mianmian to think that, and he had a helpless expression.

"How could I possibly leave you alone and go?"

"Don't do that again next time; you'll know it hurts if you fall."

Shi Xu shook his head, looking helpless.

Su Mianmian made a face at him, then turned and ran towards the kitchen.

As she ran, she also asked Butler Li what he had made for breakfast.

Of course, Su Mianmian couldn't eat breakfast in the dining room. Shi Xu, worried they wouldn't finish collecting everything, told her to take her breakfast to the car.

When Su Mianmian heard this, she looked incredulous.

"Shi Xu, don't you have a cleanliness fetish?"

"Why are you letting me take food into your car to eat?"

Su Mianmian's eyes were wide, and Shi Xu felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.

He reached out and turned her to the side, saying helplessly, "This isn't the only exception I've made for you."

Su Mianmian nodded thoughtfully, saying, "...Mm, I guess so."

Shi Xu went out to drive, and Su Mianmian took the packed breakfast from Butler Li, quickly following him.

Su Mianmian fell asleep after finishing breakfast, and when she woke up, she found the car had driven into the wilderness.
