Desert Island Survival: A Hundredfold Improvement After Having a Baby?

Su Qingxue stopped, and Lin Fan stood behind her. "Speak."

Su Qingxue turned around, intending to speak in her usual CEO-like tone.

But the words caught in my throat.

This is not a meeting room.

She was not the powerful leader of the Tang Dynasty who could decide the fate of hundreds of people with a single sentence.

Here, the weight of her words depends on whether Lin Fan is willing to listen.

This realization made her very uncomfortable.

What's even more uncomfortable is that she finds herself getting used to it.

"I feel that Xu Zhixia has a problem."

Su Qingxue spoke up, and Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, "What's the problem?"

"From the moment she approached you first, to now, she's making you hand the gun to Wang Laoliu. Something's not right."

"She is not an impulsive person, nor is she the type to casually push risks onto others."

Lin Fan didn't respond.

Su Qingxue continued, "She's always been like this. The calmer she is, the more it shows that she has already thought things through in her mind."

"so what?"

"So either she's genuinely trying to help you, or she's trying to harm you..."

"You've only known her for a few days, so I'm more inclined to believe the latter."

Lin Fan looked at her.

"Aren't you best friends?"

Su Qingxue's expression froze for a moment.

"My college roommate, she even broke into the cubicle last night for you guys."

"You don't believe her now?"

Su Qingxue's lips moved slightly; this was a tricky question.

Doesn't she trust Xu Zhixia?

In a civilized society, she could entrust her back to Xu Zhixia.

When she's sick, injured, or has undergone surgery, Xu Zhixia's words of "I'm fine" put her at ease.

But this is neither a hospital nor the Sheng Tang Group.

This is a deserted island, and the rules here are changing.

People change too.

She herself has already changed, so why should she expect Xu Zhixia to remain the same?

It's not that I don't believe her.

"I can't just stand by and watch you risk your life for her judgment."

She was stunned as soon as she said it.

Lin Fan looked at her, and Su Qingxue also realized that something was wrong.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Lin Fan looked at him with interest. "President Su, are you worried about me?"

Su Qingxue quickly looked away, "You're overthinking it."

"Yeah?"

Lin Fan neither joked nor pressed for answers.

But the more this happened, the more unsteady Su Qingxue felt.

She raised her hand to tidy her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind, and offered what she thought was a good excuse: "You're an employee of my company."

"Although the current situation is special, you are, after all, a person from the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

"As the boss, is it wrong for me not to want anything to happen to my employees?"

Lin Fan glanced at her for two seconds.

"no problem."

Su Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Fan asked another question.

"My accident doesn't seem to affect you much, and Yang Ningcong wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

Su Qingxue's expression changed.

If Lin Fan dies, she might not die immediately.

Even if Yang Ningcong was stupid, he knew Su Qingxue's value.

The eldest daughter of the Su family, who is in charge of the Sheng Tang Group.

A living Su Qingxue is worth far more than a corpse.

Why was she in such a hurry?

Why did Lin Fan's first reaction upon hearing Xu Zhixia's suggestion to cooperate with Wang Laoliu not to calculate the pros and cons, but to call him out?

Su Qingxue suddenly realized that the answer was not very respectable.

She didn't want Lin Fan to die.

It's not just because Lin Fan can protect her.

There are others.

Some things, like the water below, initially only wet the top of your shoes, but by the time you realize it, they've already reached your waist.

Su Qingxue clenched her hands.

"I told you, it's because you're an employee of Sheng Tang."

Lin Fan didn't say anything.

Su Qingxue took a deep breath and forcefully steered the conversation back on track.

"In short, I disagree with you giving the gun to Wang Laoliu."

"Do you have a better idea?"

"have."

Lin Fan looked at her.

Su Qingxue seemed to have grasped at a straw, and her speech quickened.

"poison."

"We can use poison."

"Aren't there poisonous plants in the woods? Wang Qiang and his men were poisoned to death."

"We crush the poisonous herbs and put them into the meat, or onto some kind of bait, so that the snake will eat them."

"No matter how big it is, it's still a living thing, and as long as it's a living thing, it will be poisoned."

After saying this, Su Qingxue herself felt that there was some truth to it.

At least it sounds more reliable than handing the gun to someone who once sniped Lin Fan.

She looked at Lin Fan, waiting for his reaction.

Lin Fan looked at him and asked, "Where did the bait come from?"

Su Qingxue paused.

"Aren't there still corpses down there...?"

She stopped halfway through her sentence; the corpse below was gone.

The bodies had already been swept back by the sea.

Moreover, that snake now clearly prefers living people.

"The lack of bodies is one problem, and there's another."

"What?"

"The poisonous plant is not toxic enough."

Su Qingxue frowned.

"Weren't Wang Qiang and the others all poisoned to death?"

"Can a person be the same as that snake?"

Lin Fan said calmly, "Wang Qiang and the others had been deprived of water and food. Their bodies were weak, and they had consumed a lot of food, which is why they died so quickly."

"You saw how big that snake was just now."

"Based on its weight, even if the toxicity were effective, it would require a dose hundreds of times greater than that for humans."

"We have no chemical pesticides, no industrial toxic agents, and no high-concentration extraction equipment here."

"You think you can poison a mutated python weighing several hundred kilograms with just a few handfuls of grass?"

Su Qingxue choked.

She is not illogical.

She was just desperate to find a way that wouldn't require Lin Fan to take any risks.

Lin Fan added, "Moreover, snakes have a different digestive system than humans. Many plant toxins are effective for mammals but not necessarily for reptiles."

"Not to mention that this thing has already mutated."

Su Qingxue said in a low voice, "That's something we can try."

"Anyway, there's no cost to trial and error."

"Have you forgotten about Wang Qiang and the others?"

"When that snake came out to eat Wang Qiang's corpses, there was medicine on it, but it didn't seem to poison that beast to death."

"So you've already made up your mind?" Su Qingxue asked.

"Not yet," Lin Fan said. "But Xu Zhixia's plan is currently the only one that can increase the chances of winning."

Su Qingxue couldn't help but ask, "What if Xu Zhixia and Wang Laoliu are secretly in contact?"

"Do you have evidence?"

Su Qingxue remained silent; she had no evidence.

It's just intuition; a woman's intuition can sometimes be ridiculously accurate.

"Don't push her to the other side before there's evidence," Lin Fan said. "Doctors are a scarce resource on this deserted island."

Su Qingxue pursed her lips. "You're protecting her?"

Lin Fan glanced at her, and Su Qingxue immediately realized that something was off about what he had said.

She turned her face away. "What I mean is, don't lose your judgment just because you think Xu Zhixia is pretty."

"You don't know that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie."

Lin Fan leered at Su Qingxue, "Just like you did last night, you fooled me so much that you were just waiting for Yang Ningcong to come to the rescue so that I could let you go."

"Lin Fan, those are two different things!"

"Okay, I understand!"

After Lin Fan finished speaking, he walked inside, while Su Qingxue stomped her feet in anger outside.

Why can't he listen to people?
