Today, Xiaofan has not left Bai Xue's mansion for the entire day.
Since Bai Xue departed in the morning, Xiaofan has been anxiously waiting here until the evening when Bai Xue's car safely returned.
Originally, Xiaofan wanted to follow along, afraid of any mishaps, but Bai Xue simply refused.
"How did it go? The antidote?" Seeing Bai Xue return, Xiaofan anxiously inquired.
"Leng Yue, have everyone on this floor leave, no one is allowed to disturb us."
"Oh."
"Captain, could you step outside for a bit? I'll change my clothes first."
"Hmm? Oh."
Xiaofan was puzzled. Bai Xue usually wasn't so particular with him. It's just changing clothes, he's seen and touched everywhere on her body.
But since Bai Xue is a woman, Xiaofan still respected her in this aspect.
After Leng Yue had dispersed everyone downstairs and returned upstairs, he saw Xiaofan standing at the door. Bai Xue also changed into casual clothes at this ti, allowing Xiaofan in from outside.
"I've obtained White Scorpion's antidote."
Upon entering, Bai Xue's first sentence was enough to excite Xiaofan, who then eagerly looked at Bai Xue, awaiting her next move.
However, Bai Xue didn't imdiately show any intention of handing over the antidote to Xiaofan.
"Give the antidote." Xiaofan said softly.
"I will definitely give you the antidote, but you must agree to one more condition."
Upon hearing this, Xiaofan's eyebrows furrowed tightly. Discussing conditions at this ti is undoubtedly forcing Xiaofan to comply.
Zuimo's ti is running out, and this antidote is likely Xiaofan's last chance to save Zuimo. So, no matter what the condition is, as long as it doesn't violate Xiaofan's fundantal principles, he would agree.
"What's this about? We were originally partners, wasn't that agreed upon?" Xiaofan continued to ask.
"It was agreed, but once you get the antidote, our partnership would end here; your goal is achieved, but mine is far from being reached..."
"What's your ultimate goal?" Xiaofan's voice suddenly turned serious.
"I need you to stay and continue helping . Help for a while longer."
"I agree." Xiaofan agreed without even thinking.
"Words alone an nothing." Bai Xue said directly.
"Then what do you want to do to make you willing to give the antidote? Just say it..." Xiaofan started to beco agitated.
He couldn't help but be agitated; seeing the antidote right in front of him, Bai Xue suddenly goes back on her word with additional demands. As long as Zuimo lives on, lives well, Xiaofan is willing to give up everything, even his own life; other matters, what's so hard about them?
"This pill is the White Scorpion..."
Suddenly, Bai Xue took out a red pill.
Leng Yue's expression froze, looking at Bai Xue sowhat puzzled. Instead of taking out the antidote, she takes out poison, what's the reason for this?
"And then?" Xiaofan calmly asked.
"Actually, for this reward, my father also gave an antidote. So now, I have two antidotes on . Now, you take this White Scorpion, and I'll naturally give you the antidote and let soone send it back to Huaxia, while you must stay." Bai Xue finally revealed her plan.
Indeed, she wanted Xiaofan to stay, to permanently stay by her side. However, once he gets the antidote, he won't be under her control anymore, but if he doesn't get the antidote, when Shen Zuimo dies, he will lose the tie to Zuimo, no longer bound, and surely won't stay.
Although Bai Xue's approach was extrely radical, it was the only way to control Xiaofan. And why specifically the White Scorpion? It's simple; other poisons have no effect on Xiaofan, whose inner strength is profound. Only an anomalous existence like White Scorpion can restrain him.
"Bai Xue, what are you doing?" Leng Yue imdiately questioned upon hearing this.
But Xiaofan stopped Leng Yue as she was about to step forward, reached out his hand, and without hesitation, placed the White Scorpion poison into his mouth and chewed it.
Mandala, Snake Tongue Grass, Poisonous Plant... it turns out that so many types of poisonous herbs are added to such a small pill.
After swallowing, Xiaofan looked coldly at Bai Xue, waiting for the final antidote.
Leng Yue was stunned, and Bai Xue was also dumbfounded.
He was so determined, without a trace of doubt or hesitation. To save Shen Zuimo, he can completely ignore his own life, even if it ans being life under soone else's control.
"Captain, what are you doing? Spit it out quickly." Finally reacting, Leng Yue hurriedly grabbed Xiaofan's arm and said.
"It's fine; Bai Xue still has an antidote, right? Now, about the antidote?" Xiaofan asked Leng Yue in the last sentence.
Bai Xue's heart trembled; she suddenly had thoughts of regret, but since this step had been taken, it had to be completed.
From the drawer, she picked up a box and gently placed it on the table.
Xiaofan imdiately picked up the exquisite box, opened it, and a sweet scent greeted him. The pill was small, completely transparent, and indeed it was the one.
"This antidote must be kept well, it has a unique feature, it cannot touch water, once it touches water, it will instantly dissolve." Bai Xue said slowly.
"Yes, I understand."
Having the antidote, Xiaofan turned and walked out the door, then took out his phone and dialed Li San's number.
"Hello, San... I've got the antidote."
On the other end of the call, Li San was also full of joy.
"That's great."
"Please help send it back..."
"Huh?" But this sentence made Li San stop smiling: "You're not coming back?"
"I haven't found the docunts yet."
"Then I'll have Tang send it back for you first."
"No, I'll bring Ruyu over now, you and Ruyu can go back together…"
"Ruyu?"
"There should be an explanation for her, shouldn't there?" Xiaofan said slowly.
"I..."
"That's it, talk face-to-face."
"Alright."
Hanging up the phone, Xiaofan went directly to the door of Ruyu's room and knocked.
Not long after, the door was opened.
"Captain..." Ruyu looked at the visitor and cheerfully greeted.
"Are you ready? We can leave now."
"Yes, I'm ready."
"No luggage?" Xiaofan continued to ask.
"No, having him is enough."
"Good, that's settled. Let's go."
Actually, Xiaofan had long intended to let Li San take Ruyu back to Huaxia as soon as he got the antidote. Upon telling Ruyu, she agreed without a second thought. Perhaps, after reuniting with Li San, she's already clearly found what she should do.
As for Xiaofan, he stayed to continue looking for clues about HLY007, but what he hadn't anticipated was Bai Xue would strike at him at this mont.
