During the day, Anna and Qi Shuliang, accompanied by many bodyguards, went out to deal with several incidents.

Home security measures have been significantly enhanced.

Huo Yingjie also received the news and exchanged information with Qi Shuliang.

This matter has put not only Qi Shuliang's entire family on edge, but also Huo Yingjun and others.

If Qi Shuliang gets into trouble, even though the leaders of China and the United States have already met and established diplomatic relations, it will still have a negative impact on the Chinese community.

In other words, if any Chinese person who helps China will be retaliated against, then who would be willing to help China?

Although these struggles are not justified and are driven by self-interest, in the long run, no one can afford to suffer losses!

Huo Yingjun sent a telegram to Hong Kong through special channels, which was then forwarded from Hong Kong to Beijing. He received instructions from his superiors to protect the safety of Qi Shuliang's family at all costs.

With this order, Huo Yingjun became even bolder and more meticulous in his work!

Qi Shuliang and Anna, a married couple, are constantly on edge and living in fear. They have indeed caught several groups of people who were trying to harm them, and they have been detained and interrogated.

Grandma Qi and her three children hid at home.

Fortunately, their family estate was large, and they could explore it.

As for his studies, Qi Zhenghan can study on his own and tutor Qi Zhengmin in his studies. He Tiantian can teach the girl some Chinese when she has time.

Life was quite pleasant and fulfilling.

However, three weeks have passed, and the initial tension has lessened, with everyone getting used to this routine.

Just as He Tiantian lowered her guard, the Snake King suddenly emerged from the barrier space and said to He Tiantian, who was playing frisbee with her puppy, "Stop playing, someone is making a move on you."

"How many people? Are they powerful? Do they have guns?" He Tiantian asked hurriedly, her heart racing. Although she was scared, she also felt excited, and her adrenaline surged.

“One person, no gun!” the Snake King replied. Why did it seem like this woman was making things worse?

"There's no gun, and there's only one person. We're not afraid!" Hearing this, He Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief.

The Snake King rolled his eyes and said, "There are no guns, but there is poison. Although I don't know what poison he put in the food, I can sense that it's enough to kill everyone here! Unless he refuses to eat."

He Tiantian was stunned. Poisoning food? Anyone who eats it will die!

“If it’s in the food, the kitchen will check it when they receive it; they should be able to detect it,” He Tiantian said. “We’re so nervous and we take the food very seriously. Is there some other reason behind their actions?”

"I don't know then. You'll see later. If the kitchen can't find anything, then we'll see how you improvise." The Snake King gloated, eager to see how He Tiantian would make up her own story.

Yes, they can think of it, and so can these people.

They're probably doing this because they're certain they can drug the food without being detected.

Since the instruments can't detect it, and He Tiantian isn't a charlatan, how do you explain it?

This is a difficult problem!

"Snake King, can you use your magic to make the kitchen staff find out?" He Tiantian pleaded. "You know, the people here are very smart, and I can't fool them with just a few words."

In Qijia Village, behind the mountain, He Tiantian could easily find a reason because she knew those places, but that wouldn't work here!

That snake king is just looking to make a fool of her!

"Hehe, there is a way, but you..." The Snake King glanced at He Tiantian sideways, preparing to negotiate with her.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. He Tiantian understands this principle and humbles herself.

"Snake King, just say it. As long as we can get through this crisis, I'll agree to anything you ask." He Tiantian's thinking was simple. The only thing the Snake King would value in her was that so-called "holy blood." He didn't care about anything else.

It has to be said, ignorance is bliss!

I don't know when it started, but the Snake King's mindset changed.

The only thing that remains unchanged is He Tiantian!

"You will stay here for at least six months," the Snake King demanded. According to the previous plan, He Tiantian was supposed to stay here for no more than three months.

But the Snake King didn't want to leave so soon!

On one hand, there are things here that are beneficial to its cultivation; on the other hand, deep down it wants to be alone with He Tiantian.

Once they arrive in China, that annoying Huo Yingjie might come to see He Tiantian!

Every time the Snake King saw Huo Yingjie, he felt a lot of resentment, so he was very unhappy.

"Six months?" He Tiantian counted on her fingers. "If that's the case, then... we can only wait until autumn."

"Yes!" the Snake King nodded. "Do you agree or not?"

Two months have passed, and there are still three months, ninety days left, which isn't a long time. He nodded and said, "Okay, I agree. Can you do it now?"

"Idiot! Killing him directly is easy, but why don't you think about the consequences!" The Snake King frowned. "Even if we take action, we have to wait until he comes to the manor. You need to find a way to have physical contact with that person, or get very close, so that I can read his memories. Only then can we get more information."

"Yes, yes, the Snake King is wise and mighty!" He Tiantian said, though inwardly she was cursing. She said it on purpose, pretending not to know, so that the Snake King would have a chance to show off.

A follower should be prepared to be a follower. He Tiantian found a way to make the Snake King happy.

The Snake King was very satisfied with He Tiantian's attitude.

In that case, He Tiantian will continue to pay attention to it.

"They're here!" While the Snake King was indulging in his self-admiration, he didn't relax. The food delivery truck had already entered from behind.

He Tiantian threw down the frisbee and went to the kitchen.

The maid was checking the items one by one in a notebook, while another chef was checking the meat and vegetables to see if they were fresh.

When He Tiantian arrived, most of the tests had already been completed.

The chef's so-called inspection was merely visual observation and smelling; it was not a thorough examination.

The person put something colorless and odorless in the ingredients, so the chef and maid couldn't tell.

You can't blame the chef, after all, they're not professional testers!

He Tiantian walked over, not wanting to touch that person, so she stood less than three meters away from him.

The Snake King's abilities have now been upgraded, which makes him a bit slower, but it's more suitable for him now.

Getting too close might arouse the other person's suspicion, so this distance—neither too close nor too far—is the most suitable.

Soon, the check was completed, and the maid handed the notebook to the American man in the baseball cap, asking him to take a look and sign it if everything was in order.

Just as the person was about to sign, He Tiantian said, "Wait! I need to take a look!" (To be continued.)
