The Apocalypse of the Book: So What If I'm Just a Cannon Fodder? I Can Still Have Fun

109: Developing medicineSu Mianmian looked at Shi Xu, who was clearly displeased, and her heart was incredibly complex at that moment.

She knew he felt for her, and she knew he must be feeling very upset right now.

But... Su Mianmian still had some things she hadn’t done, and she didn’t want to act rashly yet.

”Shi Xu, let’s leave this matter as it is for now. We’ll see what other tricks they have up their sleeves before we do anything else.”

”It’s been too boring lately; I want to see if they can come up with some fun games.”

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu with a smile and said softly.

Shi Xu turned his head to look at Su Mianmian, wondering what idea she had come up with.

”Mianmian, what’s your plan?”

”If you don’t tell me, I’ll worry about you.”

Shi Xu saw that Su Mianmian looked a little reluctant to speak after he asked. He wouldn’t let her evade and directly stated the consequences.

If he didn’t pressure her a little with this kind of thing, she would never speak.

”I just want to see what other tricks they have, that’s all.”

”Anyway, what they’re saying isn’t true, and I won’t lose a piece of meat, so let them say whatever they want.”

”When the truth comes out, that’s when it will be most satisfying.”

Su Mianmian didn’t tell Shi Xu her entire plan; she had her own rhythm.

She didn’t want Shi Xu to know and then interfere; there were some things she wanted to handle herself.

Shi Xu looked at Su Mianmian’s evasive gaze and knew she still hadn’t told him everything.

These past two days, Su Jinxuan had also been acting mysteriously. He didn’t know if Su Mianmian had sent him to do something or if he was secretly concocting something on his own.

Shi Xu thought it would be best to tell Su Mianmian, so if Su Jinxuan was indeed up to something on his own, Su Mianmian would at least have some psychological preparation.

”Mianmian, your brother has been acting mysteriously these past two days; I don’t know what he’s doing. If you haven’t sent him to do anything, then keep an eye on him.”

”I’m afraid he might ruin your plans.”

Shi Xu looked at Su Mianmian and reminded her.

Su Mianmian nodded. She looked at the slightly worried Shi Xu and explained, ”I sent him to monitor Su Lie.”

She always felt that Su Lie, as a father, wasn’t a fool; perhaps he also had his own agenda.

That was the main reason she had Su Jinxuan monitor him.

Seeing her say this, Shi Xu nodded.

”If anything happens, tell me. I’ll help you all.”

”Don’t be shy or treat me like a stranger.”

Before Shi Xu left, he earnestly instructed Su Mianmian.

He didn’t leave until he saw Su Mianmian nod.

After Shi Xu left, Su Mianmian went to the monitoring room.

”Mianmian, you’re here!”

”Those two came to our building again today to spread your ’deeds.’ It feels like they’re trying to talk you into leaving.”

When Xu Qing saw Su Mianmian arrive, he quickly stood up and said, looking speechless.

Su Mianmian knew exactly who the two people he was referring to were.

”Ignore them. Besides that, have you found anything else?”

Su Mianmian didn’t bother with Su Ran and Li Mei; she was worried about other people sneaking in.

Xu Qing thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. He snapped his fingers and said proudly, ”You know what? There really was a stranger who came here early in the morning, before it was even light out.”

He was fully armed; I couldn’t see his face.

But I know which floor he went to.”

Xu Qing adjusted the monitor to show that man to Su Mianmian.

Su Mianmian looked and looked, but found that he was too heavily armed; she couldn’t make out his face at all.

”I don’t know who this person is, but I think he’s suspicious. Have you told Shi Xu?”

Su Mianmian reached out and touched her chin, looking at Xu Qing with a puzzled expression.

Xu Qing shook his head; he hadn’t had time to tell Shi Xu yet.

Su Mianmian told Xu Qing to inform Shi Xu about this, while she went to find Ren Tingfeng.

He could get out of bed today, and the news of Wu Jingwen waking up hadn’t been told to him yet; it was time to tell him.

When Ren Tingfeng heard the news that Wu Jingwen had woken up, his eyes immediately turned red.

Su Mianmian saw this and knew he was happy.

”Chief Ren, please quickly get ready so you can go see your wife later.”

”She woke up some time ago, but your body wasn’t well yet, and she also needed rehabilitation training, so we didn’t tell you.”

”Now that your body is almost fully recovered, I think it’s time to tell you.”

Su Mianmian smiled at Ren Tingfeng and explained.

Actually, she didn’t have to explain, but it would be better if she did.

Ren Tingfeng nodded, expressing his sincere and profound gratitude, ”Miss Su, thank you, thank you all.”

He wasn’t just thanking Su Mianmian on behalf of Wu Jingwen; he was also thanking her for himself.

If it weren’t for Su Mianmian, he and Wu Jingwen definitely wouldn’t be able to... Su Mianmian smiled and said nothing more.

Ren Tingfeng also said nothing else; he eagerly went to see Wu Jingwen.

He didn’t know what they talked about, but two days later, they left the seventeenth floor and went to their own home.

Neither Su Mianmian nor Shi Xu stopped them; Ren Tingfeng and Wu Jingwen must have felt that their own home was better.

That evening, Su Jinxuan came to find Su Mianmian.

Su Mianmian watched Su Jinxuan come to her, avoiding others, and she was stunned for a moment, asking puzzledly, ”Brother, why are you being so secretive?

Did something happen?”

Su Mianmian didn’t understand what Su Jinxuan was doing. Seeing him sneak in and then quickly close the door, she instantly felt helpless.

Why did this brother seem a little unreliable?

”Mianmian, I’ve made a major discovery.”

”Li Mei’s lover seems to be alive.”

”He’s living in our building right now.”

Su Jinxuan ignored Su Mianmian’s expression. As soon as he entered, he immediately and eagerly blurted it out.

His tone was full of excitement; he didn’t know if he had thought of some bad idea.

As soon as Su Mianmian heard this, she subconsciously connected Li Mei’s lover with the man Xu Qing had mentioned two days ago.

She had a gut feeling that they might be the same person.

”Is it the man living on the tenth floor?”

Su Mianmian asked, to verify her guess.

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian with a shocked expression, as if asking her how she knew.

Seeing his expression, what else was there for Su Mianmian not to understand?

She explained briefly, and Su Jinxuan’s shocked expression faded a little.

But then came admiration.

”Mianmian, you’re amazing; you can connect even this.”

”That man is indeed Li Mei’s lover.”

”Haven’t I been monitoring Su Lie these past few days?”

”I accidentally discovered that there was also a man in the shadows monitoring them.”

”A quick investigation revealed him.”

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian with a proud expression, as if asking if she thought he was great.

Su Mianmian smiled. This brother was still a brother who wanted high emotional value.

”Brother, you really are amazing.”

”This is indeed an unexpected gain.”

Su Mianmian smiled; now Li Mei was going to be in trouble.

She had been thinking these past two days about how to take down those two annoying pests, Li Mei and Su Ran. Wasn’t this a good opportunity now?

However, she did want to see them fighting among themselves.

She tapped her fingers on the table and suddenly thought of a good idea.

”Brother, find an opportunity for that man to meet Li Mei.”

”Then record their meeting.”

”Later, find another opportunity to show it to Su Lie.”

Su Mianmian smiled. Those two had better not say anything disadvantageous to themselves, otherwise... ”I understand, I’ll go do it now.”

”This feels like a lot of fun.”

After Su Jinxuan finished speaking, he rubbed his hands and left with a satisfied expression.

After he left, Su Mianmian began to develop the potion she had been working on during this time.

This potion was a type that could make people fall into a beautiful dream. Once a person with malicious intentions inhaled the incense made from this potion, he would fall into his delusions.

For people with weak self-control, they might never be able to get out of it for their entire lives.

Outsiders would only think they had gone crazy.

Su Mianmian wanted to create this potion and then let the Su Family members try it.

She happened to be short on test subjects, and they were perfectly suited.

Su Mianmian’s lips curved slightly upward, and she eagerly continued her attempts.

Su Jinxuan’s progress was very fast. The man himself wanted to find Li Mei, and as soon as he gave the man an opportunity, he seized it.
