"Yeah."
She knew what kind of person Mr. Si was. If he wanted to hide something, no one could find out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hidden in the Shen family for so many years, making Shen Tianhong and his family dance to his tune.
After breakfast, Shen Siyan took her for a walk around. It was called a walk, but actually they didn't go far.
Basically, after walking a few steps, the man would make an excuse that somewhere hurt, then stop and kiss her.
Later, he didn't even bother to hide it and just said directly that this place was suitable for kissing.
In the end, Shi Wan didn't even dare to go for a walk and pulled him back.
As soon as they got back to the base, the system's voice rang out, "They're here."
They're here?
Shi Wan hadn't thought it through yet when she saw Bai Shaoyuan running up to her in a hurry.
Out of breath, he said, "Junior Sister Shi Wan, people in the village at the foot of the mountain have been poisoned. The captain asks you to go."
After a pause, he hesitated and said, "The captain said he hopes you won't abandon an entire village because of the Qi family's matter."
Shen Siyan's eyes darkened. He held Shi Wan's hand and waited for her to speak.
"Let's go."
She guessed this was what the system was referring to.
When Shi Wan arrived, the culprit hadn't been found yet. Everyone in the village was poisoned without exception, except those on the mountain.
They had just come down from the mountain and were once suspected of being dissatisfied because of the Qi family's matter and wanting to kill everyone.
In this remote place, it would be hard for anyone to find out even if someone died, not to mention that some of these people were powerful. It would be even harder to investigate them.
It was only because the village head guaranteed their innocence with his life that the others didn't get too excited. Besides, they also said there was a doctor among them. The deadly poison had made many people lose their ability to think temporarily, and they just wanted to live.
Half an hour passed. Many people couldn't hold on any longer and fainted, but the doctor they talked about still hadn't shown up.
"Are you just waiting for us to die?"
Many people couldn't help but suspect.
"No. It'll take them some time to come down from the mountain. I've sent someone to urge them."
The captain kept looking outside from time to time. His face was clearly full of anxiety.
"Captain, please hurry up. Otherwise, we're afraid we'll all die here."
The village head had already fallen to the ground unconscious. The one speaking was his wife.
"Please rest assured." Just as he was speaking, Shi Wan's figure appeared in his sight. The captain was so excited that he stepped forward. "Classmate Shi Wan, please come and take a look. The road on the mountain is blocked. Even if we call an ambulance, it can't get in now."
In his eagerness, he wanted to grab Shi Wan's hand, but the look in the man beside her stopped him dead in his tracks.
"I... Sir."
Shi Wan glanced at Shen Siyan. After stepping forward to check, she asked, "Have you found out the cause of the poisoning?"
"It seems to be the well water."
"Seems?" Shi Wan frowned. "Using 'seems' will cost more lives."
There were no detection tools here, so she didn't say much.
She used the machine rewarded by the system before to conduct a detection. After finding out what the poison was, she started to prepare the antidote and treat the patients.
However, to outsiders, she seemed to be dozing off. Except for drawing some people's blood and putting it in front of her, she didn't move at all.
"I think she's just pretending. On the mountain, she boasted about how capable she was. Now she's making a fool of herself, isn't she?"
Because of Shen Siyan's presence, others didn't dare to say anything.
Even though Chang Chao said it in a low voice, it still sounded quite loud.
But at this critical moment, no one paid any attention to him.
Chang Chao was so angry that his face turned pale. He thought these people would soon realize what a wrong decision it was to trust this woman.
After a while, Shi Wan opened her eyes, silently pulled Shen Siyan out, and took out the antidote when she saw there was no one around.
"Have someone mix these antidotes in water and let the villagers drink it later."
Shen Siyan didn't doubt her and knew why she did this.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm not." Shi Wan grabbed his hand. "But I'll be okay like this."
She had used some mental power just now inside. Now being close to him, she could recover quickly.
"You're still flirting at a time like this?"
The man said it helplessly but still held her hand and went into the house to give the antidote to the bodyguards.
"Find some clean water to mix it and let everyone drink it."
"Yes."
"Did you figure out the antidote so quickly?"
The captain was very surprised. Although these things were taken out by the man beside Shi Wan, Shi Wan was the only one on the scene who could detoxify.
Shi Wan just nodded and sat aside without saying a word.
Chang Chao was unconvinced. The antidote was clearly taken out by the man. Why did she act like she was the one who did it?
Within an hour, everyone gradually woke up.
Shi Wan had also recovered almost. "The effect of this antidote is very fast. As long as they don't do anything to damage their bodies later, they'll be fine."
"Good, good, good." The village head was lying in bed. He had regained some strength. "Thank you, girl."
"You're welcome. This poison was deliberately put there. Do you have any clues?"
The village head thought for a while. "I don't know. The people in our village are all very nice. We haven't offended anyone. It shouldn't be..."
"Who said that? I think the people you've offended are not simple." Chang Chao sneered. "Maybe some people harbored resentment. After poisoning you, they pretended to be good people and slept there, waiting for others to bring the antidote. It's really easy to gain fame and fortune."
Shen Siyan raised his hand. Before Chang Chao could react, he was dragged out by the bodyguards.
"Girl, we believe you."
The village head hadn't spent those days on the mountain for nothing. He knew everyone's temper well.
"Thank you."
"It should be us thanking you."
Seeing that everyone was okay, Shi Wan planned to leave, but some people were still seriously poisoned and couldn't leave yet.
Shi Wan and the others stayed in the villagers' houses. It was easy to detoxify after finding out what the poison was. Within two days, everyone in the village was safe.
Meanwhile, Shen Siyan's people found out that the poison was put there by Qi Meng's father.
Although they survived, the poison had caused the death of the youngest son who had heart disease.
Qi Meng became the only target for their anger. Every time people passed by her house, they could hear her screams.
Qi Meng hated Shi Wan so much that she wished she could kill her every time she saw her. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have to suffer such inhumane treatment.
Since she had the ability, why didn't she save people?
If it weren't for her, her younger brother wouldn't have died.
Shi Wan just pretended not to see it. When it was time to leave, she left with the large group.
There was another person in the team who hated Shi Wan, Chang Chao.
It was more like jealousy than hatred.
He had worked hard for so many years but still couldn't compare to Shi Wan.
Along the way, it was quiet except for his provocations. But with Shen Siyan around, he didn't dare to be too obvious.
Sometimes, when Shi Wan couldn't stand it anymore, she would ask the bodyguards to throw him out. After a period of quietness, he would start provoking again.
Chang Chao always thought that Shi Wan had achieved what she had today because of Shen Siyan. Just looking at the man's identity, he knew it was not simple.
He still thought so until the moment they got off the plane.
Hearing that someone was coming to pick them up, he tidied up his clothes and got off confidently.
In his mind, a group of people would surround him, shake hands with him, and be very kind.
