Sure enough, there were only two strawberries on the strawberry pie.

"Aunt Ning, the water is too cold, please go and pour me a cup of hot water!"

Ye Wentao frowned, about to speak.

"Brother, don't speak, I don't want to hear it!"

She quickly took out a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair and inserted it into the strawberry pie. My goodness, the silver needle turned completely black.

Aunt Ning strode over and placed the cup in front of Xiao Xi. With lightning speed, Xiao Xi inserted the silver needle into the back of Aunt Ning's hand.

Aunt Ning suddenly contorted her face with rage and raised her hand.

With a "bang," Xiaoxi was faster than Aunt Ning, and the cup hit Aunt Ning's forehead.

"Aww!"

Aunt Ning had no intention of continuing the fight. She turned and ran, then crashed hard into the glass of the dining room and slid down.

Ye Wentao stood up abruptly, stunned.

"Brother, call the police! He's trying to poison us!"

Xiaoxi ran over and saw that Aunt Ning was bleeding from the corner of her mouth and was not moving.

Xiao Xi checked Aunt Ning's pulse; he was already dead.

What a potent poison!

She tore away Aunt Ning's disguise, revealing a man.

Ye Wentao realized what was happening and immediately called the police.

The brother and sister found the real Aunt Ning in the basement. She had been knocked unconscious and tied up. She was bleeding heavily from her head, and if they had arrived any later, her life would have been in danger.

Ye Wentao immediately called an ambulance to take Aunt Ning to the hospital.

When Xiaoxi was giving her statement at the police station, the police asked her questions.

"Young lady, how did you figure out he wasn't your housekeeper?"

Xiaoxi was thinking: Aunt Ning was already tall and slender, and the assassin was a man. Even Aunt Ning's tone of voice and demeanor were imitated perfectly in a short period of time.

The assassins are constantly escalating their skills. Whose path am I, a little girl, blocking?

"Aunt Ning's body is soft and smells nice."

Aunt Ning usually puts three strawberries in her strawberry pie.

The police exclaimed in amazement: "What a clever little girl! Luckily, she's meticulous, otherwise she and her brother would both be dead."

Meanwhile, Ye Yichen, who also lives in the city, was terrified when he heard the news. He rushed over and picked up Ye Wentao and Xiao Xi from the police station, which was already very late.

Neither brother spoke; they were frightened, especially Ye Wentao, who was still shaken.

"Hey you two, why aren't you saying anything? Fourth Brother, aren't you hungry? Xiao Xi is starving!"

"What does Xiaoxi want to eat?" her two older brothers asked at the same time.

Xiaoxi smiled slyly: Why not take this opportunity to extort some money?

"I want to eat barbecue! I want to eat crayfish!"

Finally, the two long-legged girls sat on a low stool by the roadside and ate barbecue with Xiaoxi.

Ye Yichen watched Xiao Xi eat heartily and sighed to Ye Wentao.

"Fourth Brother, now you know how I feel, right? Fourth Brother doesn't know how to take care of children either, he almost got himself and Xiaoxi into trouble!"

"Yes, Fourth Brother apologizes to you. Seventh Brother, you're right. Luckily, Xiaoxi was quick-witted this time; she's our family's lucky star!"

But who wants to harm us? We must find out!

Ye Wentao couldn't shake the image of Xiaoxi's composure when encountering the assassin, her indifference when looking at the corpse—why was this happening?

?

"You two, hurry up and eat! Are you looking down on the barbecue Xiaoxi recommended? You don't get many chances like this!"

The three siblings burst into laughter.

After Aunt Ning was discharged from the hospital, Ye Wentao let her return to the manor.

He decided to cook for Xiaoxi himself, and he stopped inviting people over because he had a lingering fear.

And so, Ye Wentao would occasionally try to peel off Chen Dong's face to see if he could remove the human skin mask.

When Fourth Brother cooks, Xiao Xi's stomach suffers.

Fourth Brother also said that he often cooks for himself abroad, but the taste of this food is simply not good. Such good ingredients are being wasted.

Xiaoxi isn't a fussy person; she used to often go hungry and not know where her next meal would come from.

She bought a lot of cookbooks and learned to cook them herself.

People with exceptional talent are different. Fourth Brother even shamelessly ate Xiao Xi's cooking every day, while he only cooked rice and chopped vegetables.

Ye Yichen often came over for meals because of this.
