Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

Li Ruotao was filled with resentment. She watched Ye Wan solidify her position within the team, even earning the support and approval of her mother, Ye Cui Niang, only to see her jealousy and resentment grow. After several failed plots, she realized she was on the fringes of the team, with no support left. Yet, she refused to give up, deciding to make a desperate move and orchestrate one last attempt to frame Ye Wan, completely destroying her trust within the team.

Late at night, Li Ruotao quietly escaped while everyone was asleep and hid Ye Wan's food bag in a team member's backpack, attempting to create the illusion that Ye Wan had "stolen" supplies. She carefully selected a strategic location; if discovered, she would make everyone doubt Ye Wan's honesty and resent her. This time, she was confident she could succeed and completely destroy Ye Wan's reputation.

However, she hadn't anticipated that Ye Wan's system had already recorded Li Ruotao's actions and displayed her whereabouts on a map. Observing this, Ye Wan realized that Li Ruotao was still refusing to give up, even risking everything in an attempt to break her trust once again. This time, she chose not to endure, but to respond calmly and expose Li Ruotao's evil deeds publicly.

The next morning, the team was ready to go. Li Ruotao pretended to be nonchalant, following the group with a hint of pride in her eyes, waiting to "discover" Ye Wan's "theft." However, Ye Wan was fully prepared. She calmly walked to the center of the team in front of everyone and cleared her throat, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone, I discovered something strange this morning," Ye Wan said in a calm but firm tone. "The bag of food I was carrying seems to be missing, but I didn't put it in the wrong place. I'd like to ask everyone to help me look for it and see if I can find it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ruotao's face froze. She had never expected Ye Wan to take the initiative to find the food bag, which immediately ruined her plan. The people around her offered to help, and soon they found the food bag that Li Ruotao had hidden in someone else's bag.

When the food bag was taken out, everyone couldn't help but talk about it. Someone asked, "Why would Miss Wan leave her food bag with someone else? This is a bit strange."

Ye Wan looked at the food bag and said calmly, "It's indeed strange. Everyone knows that I've always been cautious and wouldn't leave my supplies lying around, let alone in other people's bags. It seems this wasn't an accident, but someone did it on purpose."

She calmly scanned the surrounding team members, her gaze settling on Li Ruotao. "Everyone has witnessed our journey together. Everyone knows what's right and wrong. I don't want this to cause unnecessary conflict within the team, but if anyone deliberately disrupts and attempts to undermine team unity, I won't tolerate it."

Ye Wan's words were direct and merciless, pointing directly at Li Ruotao's evil deeds. Li Ruotao saw this and hurriedly defended herself, "Miss Wan, I just... I didn't do anything! What do you mean by that? Are you doubting me?"

Her tone was flustered, trying to hide her guilt, but her expression had already revealed the truth. Seeing her panic, the surrounding team members showed doubtful expressions, and had already made a judgment in their hearts.

At this time, an old man stood up and said coldly, "Li Ruotao, everyone has seen what you have done. Miss Wan has been so dedicated to us all the way, but you always have evil intentions. This time you even want to throw dirty water on her. You really have evil intentions!"

Another young man echoed, "Yes, Miss Wan found water for us, distributed food, and cared about our safety. Everyone knows she's a kind person who truly helps us. By doing this, aren't you deliberately destroying the unity of the team?"

Hearing these questioning voices, Li Ruotao's face became increasingly embarrassed, and she stammered, unable to speak. She had thought she could easily destroy Ye Wan's reputation, but she didn't expect that Ye Wan would turn the tables on her and expose her evil deeds to everyone.

Ye Wan looked at Li Ruotao's predicament, feeling not a trace of pride but relief. She said calmly, "I hope everyone can remember that on the road to escape famine, what we most need is unity and trust, not suspicion and provocation. If anyone harbors ill intentions, cares only about their own interests, and is willing to compromise everyone's safety, then she is unfit to remain in this group."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the team nodded in agreement. Many had lost their patience with Li Ruotao's evil deeds. Someone said coldly, "If such a wicked person continues to stay in the team, he will only harm himself and others."

"Exactly! We don't want to be in danger because of a selfish person."

Faced with the angry accusations, Li Ruotao's face paled. She knew she had completely lost support and could no longer hold a place in the team. Even when Ye Ershun tried to defend her, he was overwhelmed by the anger and dared not say anything. In the end, Li Ruotao lowered her head in shame, gave up her defense, and quietly retreated to the edge of the team.

From then on, Li Ruotao completely lost the trust of the team. Many people avoided her, and even Ye Ershun dared not act rashly. The atmosphere in the team returned to calm, and everyone continued to move forward under the leadership of Ye Wan, in tacit understanding and unity.

At night, when everyone stopped to rest, a woman came up to Ye Wan and said softly, "Miss Wan, we know you've suffered a lot. Thank you so much for being so tolerant and generous for us."

Ye Wan smiled slightly and responded gently, "I just hope everyone can stay safe on this journey. I know the road ahead is still difficult, but as long as we trust each other, we will definitely go further."

Her words were sincere, her eyes gleaming with determination. The people in the team looked at her with respect and gratitude. From then on, Ye Wan's prestige within the team became even more solid, and people's trust in her grew. No one dared to believe rumors or question her leadership anymore.
