The sudden sound startled the younger brother, causing the bread he was holding to fall to the ground.

He has someone backing him!

Jing Li shifted her gaze to the bread, frowned, and said in an unhappy tone, "Protecting food is everyone's responsibility!"

In this environment, the girl's words inevitably seemed somewhat abrupt.

Even her underlings, whom she had abused, were speechless.

"..."

What time is it, and you're still thinking about food?

Someone's coming!

They would be discovered if the crew on board were alerted.

The person who was in contact with them had warned them long ago that their only responsibility was to get them onto the ship to hide.

As for what happens next, they are not responsible, and if they are discovered, they will not provide any assistance.

But there was a man standing by the door!

She was quite good-looking; if it weren't for this damned woman ruining their plans, they wouldn't have boarded this ship to go to Dinyi.

There will be more money to hire a boat.

"Miss Liang, you have a good appetite."

Yun Qi smiled, but inwardly he was grinding his teeth, still unable to forget the time he was told he was poor.

From childhood to adulthood, Yun Qi had never heard anyone dare to say that he was poor!

"I haven't eaten anything for four hours and three minutes."

Jingli rested her chin on her hand, nodded earnestly, her bright, watery eyes fixed on the bread. "It's time to eat, I'm so hungry."

Yun Qi was clearly taken aback. The girl's words carried a hint of complaint, and he could even detect a trace of grievance in them.

"Miss Liang, you're good at math? Can't you even figure out when your next meal is?"

Yun Qi raised an eyebrow.

At this point, Jing Li reacted, glancing at him coldly, "I can even calculate that you won't live for more than three months, and your death is earlier than last month."

"Yun Qi, such a high-intensity physical exertion is not good for you."

The boy's condition appears to be weaker than last time.

I don't know what method he used to make himself unaware of his body's decline.

She couldn't understand this sickly boy; how could someone who should have died long ago have been kept alive until adulthood?

Unlike those damned villagers of Hehuan Village, who were cursed with bad luck, the boy... she couldn't say.

It's been so long since I've met such an interesting person.

Jing Li couldn't help but offer an extra reminder.

The first time someone called him by his full name, Yun Qi felt a mix of emotions, but what about the tone of the reprimand?

He... didn't really like listening to that.

His smile vanished. "My affairs are none of Miss Liang's concern."

When the topic of health came up, Yun Qi clearly didn't want to continue the conversation with Jing Li.

Therefore, I changed the subject, "What are you doing here...?"

He glanced at the group of people, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"Smuggling themselves in!"

The girl answered sincerely once again.

"!!!"

Everyone was stunned by the girl's words.

Yun Qi became interested and deliberately teased her. He leaned against the door, glanced at Jing Li, and said lazily, "Aren't you afraid I'll call someone to arrest you?"

"Whatever." Jing Li clearly didn't care, got up, patted his butt, and pushed away the underling who was frozen in front of the door.

He picked up the bread, slowly tore open the bag, paused, and said, "But those people are chasing you, aren't they?"

Yun Qi instantly lost all interest, his smile fading. "Boring. Miss Liang really does know everything."

During their conversation, those people realized that the two knew each other.

Although I couldn't quite understand what she was saying, I could tell from her words that this woman was truly remarkable!

Nangong Qian was completely bewildered. Yun Qi!!!

The lifeblood of the Yun family.

Everyone in the capital knows it.

She hadn't met Yun Qi much, but his name was often on her lips. It could be said that Yun Qi was the veritable crown prince of the Beijing social circle.

She could be considered a powerful young lady in the capital, but she dared not act presumptuously in front of a true aristocratic family like the Yun family.

Rumor has it that the Crown Prince is unusually cold and short-tempered, and his gloomy personality is due to his chronic poor health.

So if you see him, you should definitely take a detour.

How does this big shot know the Crown Prince?!

At first, she could convince herself that she was mistaken, after all, she could count the number of times she had seen Yun Qi on her fingers, and always from a distance.

Yun Qi's every appearance is accompanied by bodyguards surrounding him.

The Yun family protected him very well.

They almost never meet with people.

Her doubts finally subsided when the big shot mentioned Yun Qi.

It really is Yun Qi!!

And what incredible thing did she hear? The Yun family's most beloved young master is going to die!!

If this gets out, the capital will be in chaos.

The young master walked in and even chatted with the big shot naturally. What a bizarre scene! Is he really that approachable?

"Give me one?!" Yun Qi walked over to Jing Li in a few steps and naturally reached out his hand to ask for one.

What delicious food could make her ignore him and eat it all?

The Crown Prince was a little unhappy, but he himself didn't understand where his displeasure came from.

"They're coming, aren't you going to run?"

Jing Li loves to eat and isn't possessive of her food. After giving one to Nangong Qian, she generously gave it to Yun Qi.

She had no expression, but upon closer inspection, you could tell she was making a joke.

"You didn't move either."

Yun Qi remained as lazy as ever.

"coming."

Everyone in the warehouse tensed up. How could these two speak so casually, yet every word they uttered was terrifying?

What's coming? Is it someone from outside coming to find us?

......

"Captain, that's it. The waiter just said he saw someone run inside."

The sound came from the left front.

Jing Li and his group were currently at the very end of the cargo ship.

It's a hidden storeroom around the corner.

This storage room was temporarily set up with goods.

It doesn't offer much soundproofing, but thankfully, most people don't come here.

They are not easily detected.

"not me."

Yun Qi suddenly bent down, got close to Jing Li, and whispered in Jing Li's ear, "They definitely didn't see me, it must be him."

He maintained the same posture, glancing sideways at his younger brother who had gone out to find food.

The younger brother was timid and hesitant, and hadn't even had a chance to mention the drugs yet.

The warm breath gently touched Jing Li's earlobe, making her ear ticklish. She indifferently pushed Yun Qi's head away, saying, "It's too itchy."

His calm, indifferent, and natural tone left Yun Qi momentarily at a loss.

He instinctively grabbed Jingli's hand.

When Yun Qi's fingertips touched Chu Zheng's hand, his expression changed slightly. He felt a burning sensation on his fingertips and quickly withdrew them.

The warmth and smoothness of his fingertips made Yun Qi's heart skip a beat.

Organs that were once lifeless seem to have come alive, displaying their original functions.

it's wired.

Just a moment ago...

Thinking of the differences between men and women, Yun Qi's handsome face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, the warehouse was poorly lit, so the change in his face could not be seen.

It's just a touch...

Why such a strong reaction?

The young girl didn't seem to feel anything!

and many more!

Yun Qi glanced at Jing Li out of the corner of his eye. The little girl had no expression and was looking at him strangely.

There was absolutely no reaction...

"You definitely have a problem."

Jingli seemed to be deep in thought.

The sickly child had just recovered for a brief moment.
