Lin Fan stopped. He noticed what she was doing with her hands, but he noticed even more her red eyes.

Xu Zhixia pulled her hand away and wiped her eyes haphazardly. "Why did you come out?" Xu Zhixia spoke first.

Lin Fan didn't ask what Xu Zhixia was holding, but instead asked, "Does it hurt?"

Xu Zhixia shook her head.

"fine."

"That slap is something I owe her. She was pregnant, and her emotions were already on the verge of collapse. Any woman would have been unable to bear what Liu Feifei said."

Xu Zhixia turned to look at the distant sea. "Don't stay here."

"Go in and see her."

"She needs your statement now."

Looking at this woman, Lin Fan felt a pang of sympathy for her.

Moreover, she is so sensible that it breaks your heart.

"Go inside quickly and calm Qingxue down. Only then can you deal with that monster with peace of mind tonight."

Lin Fan did not respond.

This woman lives with such clarity that no one can find a single fault with her.

Since he wasn't needed, he decided to go back and comfort Su Qingxue.

When Lin Fan returned to the cave, Su Qingxue was only shedding tears, without crying out loud. She sat there with her back against the stone wall, completely blank.

Her hair was disheveled and her face was covered in tear stains. Lin Fan walked over and realized that this rich young lady was not as thoughtful as Xu Zhixia.

Su Qingxue did not look at him.

"Have you made enough of a scene?"

Lin Fan spoke, and Su Qingxue's eyelashes trembled.

She looked up at him. "Lin Fan, do you think you're something special right now?"

"All the women revolve around you."

"I'm telling you, they're despicable! I, Su Qingxue, am not putting up with them anymore!"

Lin Fan remained motionless.

Let her finish her boastful words.

Once she stopped catching her breath, Lin Fan reached out and grabbed Su Qingxue's jawbone.

The force wasn't great, but Su Qingxue cried out in pain and was forced to raise her face and look straight ahead.

"Su Qingxue, are you still asleep?"

Lin Fan stared at her.

"Look around you."

He pointed to a circle of caves with his free hand.

"Look at these drafty cracks in the stones. Look at that pile of tattered grass roots on the ground. Look at the few rags you're wearing."

"Where is this?"

"This is not the top-floor conference room of Shengtang Group! Nor is it your Su family's several-hundred-square-meter villa!"

Su Qingxue tried to break free and used both hands to pry Lin Fan's wrists off.

It couldn't shake the entire surface at all.

"This is a desert island!"

"There's a man-eating monster roaming the beach outside!"

"There's a giant snake in the woods that could swallow you whole at any moment!"

"Are you still acting like the Empress Dowager in my presence?"

"You still think you're that CEO Su who can just throw around tens of millions with a wave of your hand?"

"Su Qingxue, without me," Lin Fan leaned forward slightly, "you wouldn't even be able to see the sun today."

These few words shattered the illusion that Su Qingxue had been trying so hard to maintain.

Lately, because of her pregnancy, Lin Fan has been giving her priority in terms of food and drink.

They treated her much better, which created a subconscious illusion in her.

They thought they had returned to that high and mighty central position, and that they could control everything.

It wasn't until Liu Feifei tore off that fig leaf, and until Lin Fan's words made her realize her own position, that things became clear.

On this island, she was nothing, just a burden who couldn't even run fast.

Lin Fan released his grip.

Su Qingxue swayed slightly.

Those once proud eyes were now bloodshot, staring blankly at Lin Fan's face, their half-open lips trembling slightly, unable to utter a single word.

Lin Fan knew the time was right; he just wanted to wake her up, not completely break her down.

Slap someone and then stuff them with a treat—isn't that the same trick that capitalist Su Qingxue used to play?

Lin Fan straightened up and softened his tone, "Qingxue."

"I know you feel wronged. You are the only daughter of the Su family. You have never been treated like this before, let alone sharing a man with someone else."

Lin Fan squatted down, his gaze level with hers. "But look outside. This is a deserted island, and those monsters all have superpowers."

"No matter what grievances or grievances I may have, I need to find out the details of this island first. Once we leave here alive and return to the outside world, you can hit me or scold me, I'll accept it."

These words struck a nerve with Su Qingxue; returning to the outside world was her only remaining thought.

Su Qingxue's eyelashes trembled violently.

Lin Fan placed his fingers on her shoulder, "You awakened a special ability during your pregnancy, if my speculation is correct..."

Lin Fan paused for a second, "If Xu Zhixia is also pregnant, she will also be able to awaken some kind of superpower."

"On this island where people can die at any moment, we have an extra card in our hand. The more people with superpowers, the greater our chances of survival become. My enhanced abilities might also be able to stack up again."

Lin Fan patted her on the shoulder.

"Everyone is just trying to survive."

"Don't be so willful."

These two sentences left Su Qingxue with no words to refute them.

Lin Fan described sleeping with other women as building a defensive fortress for the team.

If she continues to cause trouble, it will be considered willful and disregarding the lives of everyone else.

It's like pushing the team into a fire pit.

Su Qingxue lowered her head and ignored Lin Fan.

He struggled to his feet, supporting himself on the rough stone slabs.

Step by step, I walked back to that dark cubicle.

Lin Fan stood up, turned around and walked towards the pile of supplies. Regardless of whether Su Qingxue could accept it or not, what he said was true.

Now we need to sharpen the dagger.

Yang Ningcong and Zhou Kai witnessed the entire conversation.

The rich kid nudged Zhou Kai next to him with his elbow, "Xiao Kai."

Zhou Kai is changing the herbal medicine on his injured leg.

Yang Ningcong lowered his voice and gestured towards Lin Fan's back, "I've seen a lot of scumbags with sophisticated methods in the industry before. I've seen plenty of PUA and obedience tests."

"But to be able to talk about sleeping with women in such a righteous and noble way, and to package opening a harem as something that is for everyone's benefit."

"Lin Fan is the first I've ever met. His methods, his shamelessness, his logic—it's unbelievable."

Zhou Kai didn't respond. He applied the herbs soaked in green juice to his leg and wrapped them with bandages.

Zhou Kai knew in his heart that Lin Fan was an extremely pragmatic person.

The laws and morals of civilized society have long been fed to the dogs by Lin Fan here.

Whoever can bring benefits to the team now is the core.

"What Brother Fan said is true," Zhou Kai replied coldly.

He looked up and found that Yang Ningcong's face was still turned towards Su Qingxue's cubicle.

Zhou Kai grabbed a wooden stick and slammed it into the ground. "Yang Ningcong."

Yang Ningcong turned his head.

"President Su is Brother Fan's woman." Zhou Kai's warning was straightforward. "You'd better keep your frivolous thoughts about being a rich kid to yourself."

"If Brother Fan finds out you're still hung up on her, you wouldn't have enough lives to pay for it."

Yang Ningcong was taken aback for a moment, then pursed his lips and waved his hands repeatedly, "What kind of person do you take me for?"

"I pursued her so openly before because the Su family had a vast business empire. If I could bring her back to the Yang family, it would be a powerful alliance."

Yang Ningcong leaned closer, "And my dad said that Su Qingxue is the only woman in the Su family. After the two old men in the Su family pass away, everything in the Su family will belong to the Yang family."

"Now?"

"I've finally figured it out completely."

"What business marriage, what territorial expansion? It's all bullshit. There are plenty of beautiful women out there. As long as you have money, you can get any kind of woman you want."

Yang Ningcong leaned his head against the stone wall and sighed, "After taking a trip to this wretched island and rolling around in piles of dead bodies, those thoughts are long gone."

"I have only one thought right now."

"If I can save my life, once I get back, I'll live a peaceful life as a rich second-generation heir in China, build an artificial lake, and live a life of luxury in my villa every day. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Would I have a death wish to covet Lin Fan's woman now?"

Zhou Kai stared intently at him, making Yang Ningcong feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"I'm serious, I really don't care about Su Qingxue anymore."

"After I go back, I won't even take a plane. Only if I'm alive can I spend all the money the Yang family has."

Zhou Kai was still staring at him. Yang Ningcong was bewildered. He was about to speak when Zhou Kai interrupted him, "Um... could you arrange an artificial lake for me too?"

"You fucking..." Yang Ningcong slapped him on the head, "You scared me half to death."

"As long as we can get back, these are all minor issues. I'll take care of it!"

As afternoon approached, Xu Zhixia and Lin Fan went into the woods again. Su Qingxue didn't say anything; after all, rolling around once or twice was the same.

When the two returned, Lin Fan was carrying a basket full of plants on his back.

"These plants are all highly poisonous; none of you should touch them."

The group nodded.

……

Night gradually descended.

The sea breeze outside the cave has become stronger.

The howling wind whistled through the cracks in the rocks.

Lin Fan walked up to Liu Feifei...
