Chapter 59: Accusing Each Other
Luo Rui went to the study to report on her job. Zhou Jian reluctantly took He Ru to visit the apartment. They met Jiang Yu on the way. He just pretended not to see He Ru and entered his room dejectedly.
"Haha." Zhou Jian glanced at the pale He Ru with a sarcastic look and pointedly said, "You have no idea. Our new captain has high requirements for the team members –– I heard from Qiaoqiao that previously, a superhuman in the team fooled around with ordinary people, and the captain directly kicked that person out of the team."
He Ru naturally knew that Zhou Jian was mocking her, but now that she had a favor to ask, she could only pretend that she didn't understand and laughed in agreement.
After showing He Ru around, Zhou Jian led He Ru to the living room. "The rest of the team have gone out to perform tasks and haven't come back yet. There should be excess lunch today –– you sit down first. I'll pour you a glass of water."
Zhou Jian's every word was an insult. He Ru clasped her hands and forced a smile. "Thank you."
"Don’t mention it. After all, Ruirui asked me to play host to you."
Zhou Jian went to the kitchen, and He Ru was looking around when she heard the sound of a door opening behind her. Qiaoqiao, who had just greeted them, supported a person out of the room.
"Sister Youzi, lunch will be ready soon. Please sit on the sofa for a while."
"Okay, thanks, Qiaoqiao."
The woman was average-looking. She was thin, and one of her legs was missing from the knee down. She could only walk to the sofa and sit down with Qiaoqiao's support.
"Oh, she’s Ruirui's friend."
"Ruirui's friend?" The woman nodded slightly to He Ru, neither close nor distant. "Hello."
"Hello," He Ru responded timidly.
The woman frowned. Somehow, she felt that the other person's tone sounded a little weird, as if she had bullied her.
……
In the study, Luo Rui looked at the woman in black uniform across from her with a guarded look in her eyes.
"You said you came to invite us to the Shen family's party tonight?" Luo Rui said calmly, "I don't think it is necessary for outsiders like us to go to the Shen family's family gathering."
"Miss Luo, you misunderstood." The woman said expressionlessly, "It has nothing to do with the party. It's just because I want to introduce you guys to Marshal Shen. It happens to be a good occasion today."
"Oh?" The man sitting at the desk smiled gently and said, "I'm not interested in Marshal Shen or the various disputes in your base. Captain Wei, you may leave."
"If I say that my people can cure your girlfriend's disease..." Wei Yage paused and waited for the man to look at her before she continued slowly, "Even so, Captain Xue, are you still going to reject me?"
The man pursed his lips and did not reply immediately.
"Haha." Luo Rui stared at the woman opposite and chuckled softly. "It seems that Captain Wei is going to introduce us to Marshal Shen no matter what –– I’m a little curious. Why are you so insistent?"
"There’s no particular reason." Wei Yage said, "It's just that I think you guys have performed well, and the base needs combat power now."
"That's it?" Luo Rui looked at Xie Chengzhi and exchanged glances. Then, she said bluntly, "I thought Captain Wei came to us because of Ranran."
Despite knowing her identity, she still revealed her purpose directly? Wei Yage looked at Luo Rui in the face for the first time. "Why would you say that?"
"It seems that people who have stayed a long time in the base know that Marshal Shen and Professor Si are at odds –– Ranran is a member of the Shen family, yet she’s involved with Professor Si..." Luo Rui didn’t say anything else because the meaning was already conveyed.
Wei Yage looked at Luo Rui with great interest. "It seems that Miss Luo has gotten a lot of news within a few days of arriving at the base."
The woman stood up and put the invitation on the table. "That's all I have to say. As for whether you will go, please consider it carefully."
After seeing Wei Yage out, Xue Weixin picked up the invitation and tossed it into Xie Chengzhi's hand. "You’ll go."
"Huh?" Xie Chengzhi frowned. "Brother Xue, aren't you going? That woman said she could cure Sister Youzi's disease..."
"She was talking nonsense." The man was no longer gentle. Anger flashed across his eyes. "How is she going to cure her? With her words of nonsense?"
Luo Rui knew that Youzi was the man's bottom line. She sighed. "Weixin, if Wei Yage really had a way..."
"She wouldn't have a way." Xue Weixin smiled coldly. "If there were a way, I would have tried it long ago."
Even Professor Si and Shen Yao said that there was no cure for the time being. What could Wei Yage do? Hah.
"But it's a good thing that she’s willing to introduce you," Xue Weixin said, tapping his fingers on the table. "You might as well go."
Luo Rui also had the same intention. "Then, Captain, you..."
"I won't go." Xue Weixin frowned and said bluntly, "I left the superhuman team because I didn't like their workplace politics. Now, they want me to go back. I'm not stupid –– you should be careful. The party tonight might not be simple."
"Don't worry about that. We know it well."
As soon as Xie Chengzhi finished speaking, a scream came from the living room, followed by a shattering sound.
The expressions of the three people in the study changed slightly, and Luo Rui said resignedly, "Something seems to have happened to He Ru. I'll go out and have a look."
……
In the living room, He Ru stood by the sofa, trembling all over. She looked at the woman huddled up in a ball on the floor, and kept murmuring, "It's not me, it's not me..."
Zhou Jian, who was waiting to watch the show, also didn't expect that it would turn out this way. She froze in place, feeling at a loss.
"Youzi!" Qiaoqiao, who was the first to arrive, was so frightened that she dropped the plate. She rushed to the sofa to help the woman up. "Youzi! Youzi!" She shouted twice. Seeing that the woman’s eyes were closed tightly and she didn't respond, Qiaoqiao’s voice subconsciously carried a hint of crying. "Weixin! Weixin! Something happened to Youzi!"
The man quickly came out of the study.
"What happened?"
"I don't know..." Qiaoqiao said anxiously, "I was in the kitchen just for a short while, and when I came out, Youzi was already in this state!"
"Hand her to me." He took over his girlfriend from Qiaoqiao's arms. Xue Weixin checked her breathing and heartbeat, and his face became increasingly gloomy. He glanced at the broken glass and water stains on the ground, looked up at the two frightened women, and said sternly, "What did you give her to drink?!"
"It's not me! It's her... it's her!" As soon as the man bellowed, He Ru immediately pointed at Zhou Jian. "She poured the water! I don't know what happened!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Knowing how much the man cherished his girlfriend, Zhou Jian just wanted to shirk the responsibility. "There was nothing wrong with the water I gave Sister Youzi! You swapped the glasses while I wasn't paying attention, right?! It was you!"
"In other words, there was something wrong with the water you gave me?" He Ru caught the slip in her words. "Did you poison the water?!"
"I..."
"All of you, shut up!" The man punched the wall, and looked at Zhou Jian with reddened eyes. He asked, word by word, "What did you put in the water?"
"No, I..."
"Out with it!"
"..." Shivering with fright, Zhou Jian looked at Luo Rui for help. Luo Rui walked to her side and comforted her, patting her shoulder. "Tell us, Zhouzhou, what did you put in the water you gave to He Ru?"
She emphasized that the glass of water was for He Ru, intending to show that Zhou Jian did not hurt Youzi intentionally. It was He Ru who caused trouble, and caused the woman to be accidentally injured.
"I..." Zhou Jian sobbed and whispered, "The glass of water I gave He Ru was untreated contaminated water."
In other words, there was probably virus in that glass of water.
She originally thought that He Ru was an ordinary person and if she drank that glass of water and turned into a zombie, she could justifiably kill her. Unexpectedly, He Ru swapped the water with Youzi.
"Zhou Jian! How could you do that?" He Ru screamed when she heard the answer, and rushed forward to grab Zhou Jian's hair. "After all, we’re friends and have shared weal and woe during our journey. You invited me here just to harm me? You’re so terrible!"
"Friends? You have the nerve to talk about friendship with me? He Ru, don't you feel disgusted when you said that?"
The two girls got into a fight, and the scene was a mess.
