Chapter 394: 365 Chapters: Clues, Almost Exposed_1

The maid’s eyes grew even wider; everything in the manor was a treasure, and these herbs could actually be eaten.

Fortunately, lunch was resolved, and everyone ate happily!

Anna and Qi Shuliang, after returning home, had scallion pancakes for dinner, which were He Tiantian’s speciality.

Chef Sam returned with a stack of test reports, looking grave.

"Uncle Sam, what does the report say?" Anna asked, eager to know the results.

Chef Sam took out the report and said, "Most of our food has been soaked in a type of cyanide, a substance that dissolves easily in water, colorless and tasteless. If we had eaten these foods at noon, no one on the estate would have survived..."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces turned pale.

Anna trembled with fear, unable to speak a word.

Qi Shuliang held his wife tightly, feeling for the first time how close death really was!

They thought that after smashing those few disruptions, those people would give up!

It was all their wishful thinking! Those people would take action again!

Although Third Grandma Qi was scared, she remained calm and patted He Tiantian on the shoulder, saying, "We owe Tiantian a lot this time. If it weren’t for her, we probably..."

At this moment, everyone remembered that if it wasn’t for He Tiantian suspecting the delivery person, and subsequently having someone test the delivery, the poison would not have been discovered.

Qi Shuliang gratefully said, "Tiantian, thank you."

"No need for thanks, I just felt that special incidents require special treatment. The more inconspicuous the matter, the bigger the conspiracy that may be hidden behind it," He Tiantian explained. "Above all, be careful!"

"Yes, Tiantian is right," Anna nodded. "Now we must change our food suppliers."

Third Grandma Qi thought for a bit and said, "No need for that, just go to the supermarket tomorrow. I don’t believe those people would dare extend their reach there."

Many people shop for food at the supermarket. If those ruthless people dared to poison there, it wouldn’t just be their family who would die, but hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.

Such a heinous act was something those people would not dare to do.

"Alright," Qi Shuliang agreed. "I will personally go to buy food and various supplies with Uncle Sam early tomorrow morning."

Meanwhile, the people Qi Shuliang had sent out had captured the delivery man and privately interrogated him, but found out nothing.

The fact that they had escaped danger this time brought relief but also filled them with deep anxiety and fear.

That night, Qi Zhengmin, the little boy, was very scared and went straight into He Tiantian’s bed, refusing to leave, insisting on sleeping with He Tiantian.

After lulling Qi Zhengmin to sleep, He Tiantian began to sort through the man’s memories.

As He Tiantian expected, this man was indeed the type who would do anything for money.

Someone paid him to do the job, and he did it. As for who hired him, he neither knew nor cared.

After getting the money, he immediately went off to Florida to enjoy the beach and the sun!

He Tiantian, undeterred, sifted through the memories once more.

Still, she discovered nothing.

Were they only to be passively hit?

"Gurulu gurumi..." He Tiantian called out to Snake King in her mind, "What should we do next?"

"It’s better to take the initiative rather than to defend passively," said Snake King. "I will investigate shortly and hope to find some clues for you. As for how you are going to present these clues, that’s your job."

If it were He Tiantian, perhaps the Snake King would exhaust its mana to help He Tiantian, but for others, it wouldn’t, nor would it want to.

"Then I’ll have to ask you to go and investigate. I’ll figure out what to do about the rest later," He Tiantian said, regardless, she needed to have a clear understanding first.

The Snake King transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot into the clouds!

Watching the Snake King disappear into the sky, He Tiantian suddenly remembered that this was not Country H. There were various detection devices here. What if they discovered the Snake King?

When the Snake King returned, He Tiantian would definitely need to remind it.

Centring around the manor, the Snake King began probing the surroundings.

This consumed a great deal of mana, so the Snake King always absorbed the spiritual energy from the sea before setting out to work.

The area was somewhat large, and that night, the Snake King found nothing.

Qi Shuliang bought a lot of food, storing it in the house’s warehouse, and, not feeling reassured, had Uncle Sam’s son take some samples for testing to ensure they were safe to eat.

For three days straight, the Snake King found nothing.

He Tiantian was starting to lose heart. Everyone was on edge, and she didn’t know how long these days of anxiety would last.

One day, Huo Yingjun came over, bringing important information.

With the distance quite close, the Snake King detected significant information.

With a clue in hand, the Snake King now had a rough area to investigate during its nighttime excursions, which allowed it to narrow down the search.

That night, when the Snake King went out, it went straight to the several points mentioned by Huo Yingjun.

After a night of hard work, it indeed gathered a lot of useful information.

It was almost dawn when the Snake King returned.

It happened to run into Qi Zhengmin on her way to the restroom, she noticed a fleeting flash of golden light.

"Ah?" Qi Zhengmin exclaimed, rubbing her eyes to look again, "Sister Tiantian, I just saw a golden light, and it ran towards you. Get up and see what it was!"

He Tiantian inwardly shouted trouble, the Snake King was being way too careless.

However, the Snake King had already entered the Barrier Space, and He Tiantian’s strategy was simple: deny everything and bluff her way through.

"Zhengmin, it’s late the go back to sleep already. You’re talking nonsense in the middle of the night!" He Tiantian murmured, closing her eyes.

"Sister Tiantian, Sister Tiantian!" Qi Zhengmin walked forward and continued to shake He Tiantian, "Wake up, it’s real, I truly saw a shiny golden light, like a fairy ran up to you."

He Tiantian reluctantly opened her eyes, rubbed them, and said, "Alright, alright, let’s say what you’re saying is true, and a fairy ran up to me. Is that okay now?"

After speaking, He Tiantian continued to close her eyes and lie on the bed, muttering, "Cartoons, fairy tales, watched too many of them."

Qi Zhengmin looked around, but that strand of golden light was nowhere to be found! Rubbing her eyes again, could she have really seen it wrong?

That shouldn’t be, right?

She was very alert just now!

And so, Qi Zhengmin suffered from insomnia, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

He Tiantian complained inwardly with her heart closed: "Snake King, you were too careless today. Qi Zhengmin is just a young girl; we can bluff our way past her. But if it were anyone else in this house, it definitely wouldn’t have been so easy to explain."

"Hmm, this time this King was indeed careless," the Snake King did not retort for once, admitting its mistake and resolved to be more careful next time.

He Tiantian was surprised by the Snake King’s positive attitude, but with more pressing matters at hand, she didn’t want to continue on this subject with the Snake King.
