Chapter 334: Chapter 305: Perplexed, Explosion (2/6)_1

Qi Shuli, that old fox, would never do such a thing.

Lin Xiaoru might have the intention but probably not the courage. Her leg was broken and she’s still lying in bed! Besides, Lin Xiaoru usually dresses no better than she does and can’t afford that much money.

Liu Lingli thought hard but couldn’t figure out who was targeting He Tiantian.

Meanwhile, He Tiantian from Qijia Village had often requested Snake King to retrieve Liu Lingli’s memories ever since her father, He Jingyu, went to Huai City.

That evening, Tiantian was also shocked! It turned out that Liu Lingli didn’t know who the person behind the scenes was either!

At the same time, there was indeed poison in those sugar cakes, and she even used an old family dog for experimentation, proving that it wouldn’t kill immediately before she laced the flatbreads with the poison.

Liu Lingli, you vicious woman!

Your conscience has been eaten by a dog!

It’s just like the proverb says, "The Farmer and the Snake." You save her, only to be rewarded with her bite, a fatal poisoning.

After He Jingyu returned, he told them the results would be out in a week.

He Tiantian already knew the outcome!

She was now in a dilemma because she knew, even if they caught Liu Lingli, she wouldn’t know who that person was.

But Tiantian couldn’t swallow this insult without acting.

Tiantian thought she had been quite nice to Liu Lingli. She didn’t expect the same in return, but she certainly didn’t expect to be poisoned by her! This was a matter of life and death, not petty jealousy between little girls.

Keeping Liu Lingli around had its advantages, allowing her to observe Liu Lingli at all times.

And to find out who exactly was the person behind this?

But if she did so, she didn’t know how to persuade her parents, which was one issue.

Meanwhile, the person behind the scenes, realizing that their family hadn’t been poisoned, would definitely become suspicious and might stop contacting Liu Lingli.

That was also a possibility!

Highly conflicted!

Lastly, her father had already gone to see Qi Ling.

Once it was discovered that there was something in the flatbreads, Qi Ling would surely come to investigate.

With this, there was no way to keep it a secret.

So with that considered, why not let the public security handle it.

Since Liu Lingli had conspired with Accountant Hu to commit murder, they had already committed a crime. It would be normal for the police to arrest her.

He Tiantian didn’t want to think about these things anymore and got busy with the work of the animal husbandry team.

In the team, there were about a dozen pigs, already weighing around 170 to 180 pounds, and by the end of the year, they were estimated to reach 200 to 300 pounds.

Eight cows, a few sheep, eight or nine deer.

The original two deer had escaped while grazing when they broke free from their ropes. Everyone thought it was a pity, but since it wasn’t included in the tasks, they didn’t take it to heart after the escape.

However, a few days later, those two surprisingly brought back seven other deer, and with the original two, there were nine in total. The team had grown several times larger, delighting everyone.

Therefore, the animal husbandry team let the deer roam freely; they would go to the mountains to feed during the day and return at night on their own, which was very convenient.

But the dozen pigs, that was not possible. They needed a lot of green vegetables every day and hay prepared for the winter.

He Tiantian was busy every day while simultaneously remaining vigilant.

The situation at Huo Yingjie’s side was not any better than that of He Tiantian; he too was busy and facing significant setbacks.

"Boom..." a loud noise resounded from Huo Yingjie’s laboratory.

"Be careful." Huo Yingjie shouted, quickly grabbing Tang Xinliang beside him and retreating backward, running out.

Sparks flew across the laboratory, crackling and exploding incessantly.

Qian Miaomiao followed closely behind, but Zhou Yuanchao didn’t come out.

"Where’s Zhou Yuanchao?" Huo Yingjie urgently asked Qian Miaomiao, the two of them were partners, standing together.

"In... in... inside." Qian Miaomiao trembled with fear, pointing inside.

Huo Yingjie was stunned for a moment but took a deep breath and pushed the door to enter.

"Boss..." Tang Xinliang, Qian Miaomiao, tried to pull Huo Yingjie back, but it was already a step too late. Huo Yingjie moved quickly and had entered the lab.

Upon entering, there was a lot of thick smoke; just when Huo Yingjie was about to suffocate, Little Rotating Turtle conjured a barrier that blocked the smoke from the outside.

"Master, don’t be afraid, I am here!" Little Rotating Turtle reminded, "That tall Zhou guy is in the northeast corner."

"Thanks, Little Rotating Turtle," Huo Yingjie said gratefully. He had rushed in headlong, and inside, if he couldn’t find Zhou Yuanchao and drag him out quickly, he too would collapse on the ground due to the smoke.

Just as Huo Yingjie had entered not long before, the firefighters arrived quickly.

As such incidents often occurred in the experimental area, the firefighters were always on standby; upon hearing the alarm, they immediately came over.

"Is there anyone inside?" the firefighters asked, with people behind starting to open the hydrant, ready to extinguish the fire.

"Our boss, Huo Yingjie, and Zhou Yuanchao are both inside," Qian Miaomiao said urgently. "Please, quickly save the boss, and oh, it’s likely an oil-based liquid that’s on fire, you cannot use water to put it out!"

Firefighters, fully equipped and carrying dry powder, immediately charged inside and sprayed toward the areas with visible flames.

Guided by Little Rotating Turtle, Huo Yingjie groped around until he found Zhou Yuanchao passed out on the ground. He hoisted him onto his back and made for the exit.

But after only a few steps, he got sprayed head to toe with dry powder.

The firefighters saw someone ahead and then avoided them.

Bearing Zhou Yuanchao, Huo Yingjie struggled to make his way out.

"Boss... you finally made it out, how is Zhou Yuanchao?" Tang Xinliang asked, with Qian Miaomiao also running over to check on the situation.

"I’ll take Yuan Chao to the hospital. You all stay here and later cooperate with the organization’s inspection to figure out what went wrong," Huo Yingjie said gravely. The experiment was at a critical stage, and such an incident had caught Huo Yingjie unawares, throwing him into confusion.

Now that everyone was safe, Huo Yingjie began to wonder why this accident had occurred!

"Right, you need to cooperate with the organization’s inspection team and maintain confidentiality," Huo Yingjie told Qian Miaomiao. "Don’t let anyone else near our laboratory."

Tang Xinliang knew that he and Miaomiao couldn’t hold up at this time; they needed the boss to stay.

"Boss, I’ll take Zhou Yuanchao to the hospital; you should stay here," Tang Xinliang suggested, knowing that only the boss could stabilize the current situation.

After thinking, Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Alright, you hurry and take Zhou Yuanchao to the hospital. Don’t worry about this place; I’ve got it under control."

Just now, he had been too concerned about Zhou Yuanchao and had forgotten that Tang Xinliang and Qian Miaomiao, with their limited experience, couldn’t handle the situation.

At that moment, the firefighters brought in a stretcher and left with Tang Xinliang to transport Zhou Yuanchao to the hospital.

Huo Yingjie watched as the thick smoke coming from the laboratory lessened somewhat, his expression growing even more stern!

All the experimental materials had been calculated by him personally, and there should have been no problem.

But with such an incident occurring now, Huo Yingjie was deeply perplexed.

"Boss... what do we do now?" Tears streamed down Qian Miaomiao’s face. "All our data is inside..."
