The White Scorpion's antidote was ntioned before: it dissolves upon contact with water.
This is the captain's only life-saving Pill, and it absolutely cannot fall into the pool.
However, no matter how hard Leng Yue reaches out to grab this antidote, it always feels just a little out of reach.
anwhile, after Bai Xue's hand gesture, a cold gleam shoots out from her feet.
Bai Xue pulls out the knife she carries from her boot and stabs it straight towards Leng Yue's back.
In that instant, Leng Yue feels the threat of death. Her battlefield-honed instinct for danger proves to be very accurate.
She is really planning to kill .
She acts without a shred of hesitation.
She... is no longer my good sister.
Sigh, if I have to die by her hand, that would be the best price to pay for my betrayal, but the captain's antidote cannot be lost.
Therefore, Leng Yue disregards the danger behind her and continues to chase after the falling antidote without hesitation.
'Whoosh.'
Just as the knife is about to pierce less than three centiters into Leng Yue's back, a toothpick breaks through the night sky and strikes the knife accurately, knocking it to the ground.
Bai Xue looks nervously towards the direction the toothpick ca from and awkwardly calls out the arriving person's na: "Captain."
'Splash.'
In the final mont, Leng Yue leaps and grabs the antidote, but due to montum, she—and the antidote—fall into the water.
"Leng Yue." Xiaofan furrows his brow and imdiately rushes to the poolside.
With the water cushioning her, Leng Yue is rely wet all over and otherwise unhard.
Why is Xiaofan here too?
Actually, Xiaofan has always been a light sleeper; his keen senses keep him slightly alert even in his sleep.
When Leng Yue got up, Xiaofan was still sleeping, but subconsciously aware that Leng Yue had risen.
At the ti, Xiaofan thought Leng Yue was just going to the bathroom or doing sothing else, so he didn't pay it much mind and went back to sleep.
But while sleeping, he had a nagging sense that sothing was off. Perhaps it was because he had a lot on his mind, or maybe because Leng Yue hadn't returned soon, that he decided to call her.
When Xiaofan called, Leng Yue's phone was actually ringing in his own room.
Where could she have gone? Holding Leng Yue's phone, Xiaofan fell into deep thought.
He checked her phone and found her call logs with Bai Xue. Did she go to find Bai Xue?
If she went to persuade Bai Xue not to marry Lingze, it's probably not going to work.
In fact, Xiaofan never thought Leng Yue would co to help him steal the antidote. But she must have co to Bai Xue's place for him.
Feeling uneasy, Xiaofan couldn't fall back asleep, feeling he should co to see for himself.
Driving over, Xiaofan reminisced about their past missions in XG—those tis of shared hardship and joyful monts. But compared to back then, Bai Xue seems like a different person altogether, while Leng Yue, in so way, still gives him the impression of being foolish.
Can ti really change a person?
When Xiaofan arrived at the estate, he saw the fight by the pool from a distance.
Yes, they were fighting, aning sothing significant had occurred.
Rushing quickly towards them, Xiaofan was surprised to see Leng Yue being ambushed, with Bai Xue intending to kill her.
Bai Xue wasn't joking; in that mont, she truly wanted Leng Yue dead.
She didn't hesitate a bit, but how could she bring herself to do it?
"Captain..."
Ignoring Bai Xue's panic upon seeing him, Xiaofan helped Leng Yue climb out of the pool.
"Captain, the antidote, quickly, take it..."
Antidote? She ca to get the antidote for ?
Leng Yue, indifferent to her own sorry state, anxiously looked at him.
For him, she was willing to betray everything from the past? For him, she was willing to endure Bai Xue's knife? Even if that knife might cost her life?
He opened his hand, but there were no traces of the antidote.
"How could this be? I clearly grabbed it just now." Fear written all over her face, Leng Yue couldn't believe the antidote had disappeared.
Turning back, Leng Yue looked at the pool, thinking that if she failed to grasp it, the antidote must be in the water.
"I'll go find it..."
Xiaofan tightly grabbed Leng Yue, and gently shook his head at her with a faint smile.
It was known from the start when Xiaofan asked that the White Scorpion's antidote dissolves upon contact with water.
That's why Leng Yue jumped into the pool without hesitation to grab the antidote. However, water slipped through her fingers. Even though she clutched it desperately, even as her nails pierced into her palm, she wanted to protect Xiaofan's chance of survival.
When Bai Xue saw this, she too was sowhat stunned, standing frozen and at a loss.
'Plop.' Leng Yue knelt straight before Xiaofan.
"Leng Yue..."
Her body was trembling, her expression flustered; she was... regretting deeply.
"I'm sorry, Captain. I'm so sorry..."
"Silly girl, you have nothing to be sorry for. If it's gone, then it's gone..." Xiaofan gently patted Leng Yue's shoulder, showing no hint of regret over the disappearing antidote.
"Captain, I-I never ant for this, I-I..." Over here, Bai Xue was also at a loss, talking to Xiaofan.
"Let's go, Leng Yue."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If not for my unnecessary actions, the antidote would've eventually been yours." Leng Yue knelt before Xiaofan, truly remorseful.
"No worries, I actually want to thank you. Without the antidote, I suddenly feel a sense of relief."
"My fault, it's all my fault..." Leng Yue was sowhat lost in her thoughts.
Seeing Leng Yue not truly noticing her own words, it seems she's deeply mired in remorse.
Xiaofan gently picks her up horizontally. Turning around, he doesn't spare Bai Xue a glance, heading directly towards the rear gate.
"Captain..." Bai Xue panicked; she had hoped in the last three days he would change his mind, but instead, what she got was a deathly silence.
'Whoosh whoosh.'
The security personnel had arrived. Seeing Xiaofan holding Leng Yue, along with the traces of the fight, they rushed towards Xiaofan without a word.
