"...The environment at home is not as good as the hospital's. Could it be that our operation was not up to standard and caused the wound to be infected?"

"Li Nanchen is still burning up right now. If we delay, there might be serious consequences, causing irreversible damage to his body!"

"Wu Mei, the Li Family has the best private doctor in the hospital. Why are we not utilising the good medical support and instead leaving him in danger at all times? Sending him to the hospital now is the safest and most secure choice!"

Bi Fang proposed with an intense attitude. Wu Mei glared at him and his hand froze in mid-air while he was dialing a number...

Wu Mei furrowed her brows and caressed Li Nanchen's eyebrows. "Absolutely not! Li Nanchen's current condition must not be known to anyone."

Bi Fang did not know what was going on in her head. With the current situation, how could she care about the public opinion?

"Do you want Li Nanchen's life or do you want to protect the Li Family's reputation? Wu Mei, you're crazy right now! He will die if the high fever prolongs!"

Wu Mei grabbed Bi Fang by the collar and threw him out the door. She threatened him coldly, "Get out and shut your mouth!"

"Don't let Grandpa know about Nanchen's current condition. Stay there obediently! Also, buy me some antibiotics. Don't let anyone know."

Bang! The door closed from the inside. Bi Fang raised his hand to knock on the door, but due to the pressure from Wu Mei, he could only listen to her and go buy some medicine.

After Wu Mei fed Li Nanchen the antibiotics, she tried using the most traditional method to lower Li Nanchen's temperature.

She wet the handkerchief with cold water and pressed it against his forehead again and again. She even used alcohol to wipe his body to cool him down.

Li Nanchen seemed to have regained some consciousness and subconsciously murmured something. Wu Mei couldn't hear him clearly. She bent down and leaned in towards him. "Water... Drink water..."

Frantically, Wu Mei hurriedly poured a cup of warm water and wanted to help Li Nanchen up. However, when she saw his gauze-covered wound, she furrowed her brows and took two sips. Leaning over, she met his cold thin lips and slowly poured the water in. She did it a few times consecutively. Only when she saw that Li Nanchen had fallen asleep again did she wipe the water on her lips and heave a sigh of relief.

A few hours later, Li Nanchen's fever came down and rose up again. This happened over and over again.

His complexion was extremely awful. His brows knitted together as he murmured softly, "Cold, so cold..."

Wu Mei stared at him for a long time. Without hesitation, she undid her clothes and gently lifted the blanket to lie beside him. She then used her body temperature to warm Li Nanchen...

This was perhaps the first time that their skin contact did not have any desire mixed in.

Wu Mei hugged him tightly. She looked up and kissed the corner of his lips as she said calmly, "Hang in there, Li Nanchen!"

The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the window.

Sensing that Li Nanchen's temperature had already stabilized, Wu Mei put on her clothes. When she pushed open the door, she nearly stepped on Bi Fang, who had curled up on the ground. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and barged in to check on Li Nanchen's vital signs...

Bi Fang looked at the temperature in surprise. When he turned around and saw Wu Mei's haggard expression, he exclaimed in admiration, "Impressive!"

"The power of love is indeed great!"

She was able to control his high fever in just one night? This can't be explained by medical theories!

Wu Mei rubbed her temples with a slight headache. Her ears were ringing and she was a little dizzy from lack of sleep. She grabbed Bi Fang's collar and pulled him into the living room.

In the living room, she secretly gathered Li Nanchen's most trusted bodyguards. In a cold voice, she instructed, "Go and spread the news that Li Nanchen died in the explosion. Cooperate with Bi Fang to buy some things that are needed to decorate the funeral hall."

Holding the ice coffee Wu Mei felt the chilliness in her organs and perked up.

"What?!"

Bi Fang covered his mouth in shock. The bodyguard was also confused and did not understand why she was cursing Li Nanchen.

Wu Mei explained briefly, "Everyone in Viper wants to get the bounty for the mission against Li Nanchen. Since he's dead, everyone will fight to get his corpse to report back and collect the money. What I need to do is to wait for them to send themselves to me in the villa..."

"Then finish them off in one fell swoop!"

Bi Fang's eyes gradually widened as he applauded in admiration. His gaze towards Wu Mei was also filled with admiration, and he completely did not dare to underestimate her.

Such a meticulous and vicious woman! It's best not to provoke her!

Bi Fang was someone with some resources in City B, so he immediately started organizing things. Wu Mei seemed to have thought of something and tugged on his arm. She especially reminded him, "Remember to cut off the internet in the villa. Don't let him find out anything..."

Bi Fang nodded and focused on buying what was needed in the funeral hall. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he forgot about disconnecting the internet!
