No matter how friendly Yi Shu behaves or how innocent she looks, her nature reveals a maliciousness that cannot be ignored.

Chen Changli didn't dare to underestimate her, nor did he dare to let go of his worry. He could only remind Jiang Xuan to be alert and not be fooled by Yi Shu.

Jiang Xuan figured out what Chen Changli meant, his face flushed and he said, "I'm not that stupid."

Chen Changli nodded as if he had listened to his words, and his tone was as gentle as water: "Doctor Jiang is a member of the New Heaven Society. Yi Shu will naturally be tolerant of you."

Jiang Xuan looked a little unhappy when he heard what he meant.

But his words made sense, and no matter how much Jiang Xuan resisted, he had to listen to him.

"Yi Shu won't hurt me. After all, we are companions, unless she suspects me and has confirmed betrayal from you and your wife."

Jiang Xuan rubbed his forehead with his hand and felt a splitting headache.

However, he did not dare to relax at all and had to be vigilant at all times, otherwise Cao Yunqi would become suspicious of him and put him in a dilemma.

"We'll know the answer tonight." Chen Changli hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a more stern tone.

Jiang Xuan was stunned, then looked at Chen Changli with disbelief: "What do you want to do?"

Chen Changli shook his head: "It's not what I want to do, it's what Yi Shu wants to confirm."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan immediately cast his eyes on the leftovers on the table, and then his face showed dejection.

"Look at the bright side. As long as we disguise ourselves properly, Yi Shu will dispel his unrealistic suspicions. So this matter has both advantages and disadvantages." Chen Changli advised kindly.

Jiang Xuan raised his voice: "What about the disadvantages? Why don't you want to think about the disadvantages?"

"Whether the matter is good or bad is not important to us. After all, we have been your prisoners from the beginning." Wan Shufang guessed what Chen Changli meant and immediately hinted at something.

Jiang Xuan had a bitter smile on his face: "I wanted to cut off ties with you, but I didn't expect to be dragged into the abyss by you."

Wan Shufang disagreed with his words and immediately retorted: "When you brought us to this villa, you were already suspected."

"The reason why no one tried to test you is because Chang Xuewei is still unconscious."

"If she is awake, just one word from her will cause you to fall into the abyss, from which there is no return."

"Jiang Xuan, you have to find a way to save yourself. You can't rely on Chang Xuewei's conscience, nor can you rely on the consciousness of our couple."

Having said this earnestly, Wan Shufang thought of Yi Shu's behavior and felt a rare sense of guilt.

"We are being guarded by you. If we don't find a way to save ourselves, we can only find a way to drag you into the water so that you can go easy on us."

"That is to say, whether it is you or us, under certain crises, we cannot reach a certain level of trust."

Trust is an old issue. Wan Shufang thought she would never mention it again, but suddenly she found that trust not only caused big problems, but also caused endless troubles.

But she was absolutely unwilling to really believe in people like Jiang Xuan.

"There's no use thinking too much. You need to relax and wait until tonight to see what happens." Seeing Jiang Xuan frowning and looking like he was about to collapse at the next moment, Chen Changli immediately advised him.

Without waiting for Jiang Xuan to react, he took Wan Shufang for a walk in the yard.

Jiang Xuan followed them out and saw that the couple looked relaxed and happy. All kinds of thoughts surged in his mind, but he finally forced them down.

The whole afternoon passed and Yi Shu didn't show up, nor did Cao Yunqi. However, at dinner time, someone brought food over.

Jiang Xuan greeted Chen Changli and his wife. The three of them had dinner calmly and then stayed in the yard to enjoy the moon.

When the time was almost up, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.

Lying on the bed, looking at the crimson bed curtains, Wan Shufang couldn't calm down.

She turned sideways and stared at Chen Changli, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, and asked curiously: "Chen Changli, what is Yi Shu going to do? Does the medicine pond really have miraculous effects?"

"The medicinal pond should be effective, otherwise she wouldn't be so confident. But the effect may not be what we think." Chen Changli drank the tea in one gulp and said earnestly, "Perhaps the effect will be worse. It depends on whether the two of us can bear it."

When Wan Shufang heard this, she was stunned for a moment and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Then she asked bluntly: "If that's the case, then why did you take me out for a whole morning?"

Chen Changli sighed, "Yi Shu is extremely strong. I realize that if I continue to fight her, I will be the only one who loses."

"I thought that instead of confronting her and forcing her to reveal her true colors, it would be better to just go along with her wishes and let her continue to pretend in front of us."

Upon hearing this, Wan Shufang immediately thought of what Chen Changli had said to her before, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is she so strong? No wonder she dared to face the two of us alone. I guess she has nothing to fear."

Wan Shufang sat up from the bed, crossed her legs, frowned, and said thoughtfully: "The water in the medicine pond does smell like a medicine. I guess it's because it's running water, and the flow reduces the medicinal content."

"If what Yi Shu said is true, the medicine pond must be replenished with various medicines at all times, or a method must be found to reduce the flow of running water."

"But if this happens, the medicine pond will become a pool of stagnant water, and she won't take it seriously at all."

Speaking of the issue of living water, Wan Shufang thought of the thought that flashed through her mind when she was soaking in the medicine pond. She immediately stared at Chen Changli with shining eyes and continued talking with a smile.

"Were we not discussing how to transport opium out of the villa? When I saw the running water in the medicine pond, I had a guess."

"That is, there is a wide stream of running water in this steep mountain. If opium is wrapped in butter paper, it will not be contaminated by water and will be carried away by the running water."

Chen Changli heaved a long sigh: "When I jumped into the pond with you, I also took the opportunity to look at the bottom of the pond. I don't think the opium will be carried away by the running water."

"It may not be that medicinal pond." Wan Shufang said quickly, "I suspect there are many such medicinal ponds or waterfalls on this mountain."

"Yes, the existence of the waterfall is amazing. Maybe the running water we are talking about is the water flow that forms this waterfall."

The more Wan Shufang thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with the waterfall, and she wanted to find an opportunity to walk up the waterfall.

"Waterfall?" Chen Changli's heart moved slightly, and he was about to express his thoughts when there was a slight noise in the room.

The couple looked at each other and could see the solemnity in each other's eyes.

As Chen Changli's thoughts turned, he immediately thought of the Phoenix Gu in his body.

He covered his chest with his hands, his eyes were cold, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised to reveal a bitter smile.

"It sounds like the sound of insects. If I'm not mistaken, Yi Shu is using the poisonous insect to test us."

Wan Shufang's eyes were solemn. She quickly stood up and came to Chen Changli, wanting to give him acupuncture.

"Phoenix Gu! Yi Shu's target is Phoenix Gu. I have to seal your Qi and blood to prevent Phoenix Gu from being stimulated."

With a bang, the door was pushed open and a cold voice came from outside.

"You just realized it now? Haha, you are already one step too late."
