The maid's eyes widened even more. The manor was full of treasures; these grasses were actually edible.
Fortunately, lunch was taken care of, and everyone enjoyed their meal!
After Anna and Qi Shuliang returned home, they ate scallion pancakes, He Tiantian's specialty, for dinner.
Chef Sam returned, bringing a stack of test reports, his face grave.
"Uncle Sam, what did the report say?" Anna asked, wanting to know the result.
Cook Sam pulled out the report and said, "Most of our food has been soaked in a type of cyanide. This substance is easily soluble in water, colorless, and odorless. If we had eaten this food at noon, no one on the entire plantation would have survived..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
Anna was so frightened that she trembled all over and couldn't speak.
Qi Shuliang held his wife tightly, feeling for the first time how close he was to death!
I thought that once those waves of interference were crushed, those people would give up!
All of this is just wishful thinking on their part! Those people will still make moves!
Although Grandma Qi was frightened, she remained relatively calm. She patted He Tiantian on the shoulder and said, "This time, we owe it all to Tiantian. If it weren't for her, we probably..."
It was only then that everyone realized that if He Tiantian hadn't suspected the delivery person and hadn't had someone test the package, they wouldn't have discovered the truth.
Qi Shuliang said gratefully, "Tian Tian, thank you."
"No need to thank me. I just think special events need special treatment. The more inconspicuous something seems, the more likely it is to hide a big conspiracy," He Tiantian explained. "It's always better to be cautious!"
“Yes, Sweetie is right.” Anna nodded. “Then we’ll have to change our food suppliers.”
Grandma Qi thought for a moment and said, "No need, we'll just go to the supermarket tomorrow. I don't believe those people would dare to reach there."
Many people go to supermarkets to buy food. If some heartless people were to poison people in supermarkets, it wouldn't just be their family that would die, but hundreds or thousands of people.
Those people wouldn't dare do something so heinous.
"Okay!" Qi Shuliang agreed. "I'll go with Uncle Sam to buy food and other supplies first thing tomorrow morning."
Meanwhile, the men Qi Shuliang sent out had already captured the vegetable deliveryman and interrogated him privately, but they got nothing out of him.
Everyone was relieved to have escaped this time, but also terrified.
When they got home that night, Qi Zhengmin was very scared and crawled into He Tiantian's bed, refusing to leave, wanting to sleep with her.
After coaxing Qi Zhengmin to sleep, He Tiantian began to sort through that person's memories.
As He Tiantian expected, this person was indeed the kind of person who would do things for money.
He'll do whatever someone pays him to do, and he doesn't know or care who asked him to.
After receiving the money, he immediately went to Florida to enjoy the beach and sun!
He Tiantian was unwilling to give up and went through those memories one more time.
However, nothing was gained.
Are they destined to passively take a beating?
"Gurgle gurgle meow..." He Tiantian called out to the Snake King in her mind, "What should we do next?"
“Instead of passively defending, it’s better to take the initiative,” said the Snake King. “I’ll go out to investigate later and hopefully find some clues for you. As for how to get those clues out, that’s your problem.”
If it were He Tiantian, perhaps the Snake King would risk his cultivation to help her, but for others, it wouldn't, and wouldn't.
"Then I'll leave it to you. You go and investigate first, and I'll figure out the rest myself," He Tiantian said. No matter what, she needed to have a clear understanding of the situation first.
The Snake King transformed into a bolt of lightning and darted into the clouds!
Seeing the Snake King disappear into the air, He Tiantian suddenly remembered that this was not China. There were all kinds of detection instruments here. What if they discovered the Snake King?
When the Snake King returns, He Tiantian must remind it.
The Snake King began to explore the surrounding area, using the manor as its center.
This requires a lot of magical power, and the Snake King always absorbs the spiritual energy from the sea before he goes to work.
The area was quite large, and that night, the Snake King gained nothing.
Qi Shuliang bought a lot of food and stored it in his home warehouse. Still not entirely at ease, he asked Uncle Sam's son to take some samples for testing before consuming it.
For three days in a row, the Snake King got nothing.
He Tiantian was a little disheartened. Everyone was now terrified, not knowing how long this situation would last.
On this day, Huo Yingjun came and brought important information.
At close range, the Snake King discovered important information.
With a clue, the Snake King went out to investigate at night and got a general idea of the area, which allowed him to narrow down the search area.
That night, when the Snake King went out to investigate again, he went directly to the places Huo Yingjun had mentioned.
After a hard night's work, I indeed obtained a lot of useful information.
As dawn broke, the Snake King returned.
Just then, Qi Zhengmin went to the restroom and saw a flash of golden light.
"Huh?" Qi Zhengmin exclaimed, rubbing her eyes and looking around. "Sister Tiantian, I just saw golden light that jumped onto you. Get up and see what it is!"
He Tiantian thought to herself, "This is bad! The Snake King is so careless!"
However, now that the Snake King has entered the barrier space, He Tiantian's strategy is simple: deny everything and get away with it.
"Zhengmin, it's getting late, go to sleep. What are you talking about in your sleep in the middle of the night?" He Tiantian mumbled as she closed her eyes.
"Sister Tiantian, Sister Tiantian!" Qi Zhengmin stepped forward and continued to shake He Tiantian. "Wake up! It's true! I really saw a golden light, like an elf running onto you."
Helpless, He Tiantian had no choice but to open her eyes, rub them, and say, "Okay, okay, let's just say what you said is true, that a fairy jumped on me, is that alright?"
After He Tiantian finished speaking, she closed her eyes again and lay on the bed, muttering, "I've watched too many cartoons and fairy tales."
Qi Zhengmin looked around, but the golden light seemed to have vanished! He rubbed his eyes again, wondering if he had really been mistaken?
That shouldn't be the case.
She was perfectly lucid just now!
And so, Qi Zhengmin suffered from insomnia, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
He Tiantian silently complained to herself, "Snake King, you were too careless today. Qi Zhengmin is just a young girl, we could easily fool her. But if it were anyone else in this family, it would never be so easy to explain."
"Hmm, this time it was my carelessness." The Snake King, unusually, did not refute, admitting his mistake and promising to be more careful next time.
He Tiantian was surprised by the Snake King's friendly attitude, but she had more important matters to attend to and didn't want to continue the conversation. (To be continued.)
