Wang Shu looked at Jiang Shulan with the air of a victor, his smugness impossible to suppress.
Then, leading the people, they entered the house and began assigning tasks.
"Search the living room, search the bedrooms, search the study."
He simply went to the study because he knew best where the things were, and he wanted to be the first to find them so that he could get the most credit.
Mr. Jiang did not remain silent; he instructed his men to follow the search party to prevent anyone from tampering with the equipment.
Seeing his daughter's yard searched like this, Mr. Jiang felt a surge of annoyance.
"Everything that has been messed up must be put back in its original place. What you went in like, you will come out like."
"yes."
Wang Shu pretended to look around elsewhere before finally opening the drawer.
The drawer had barely been opened when his hand reached inside, as if trying to grab something.
But they came up empty-handed.
Wang Shu looked closely and saw that there were only two books in the drawer; the handkerchief he had put in was gone.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at them again and again.
Thinking that he might have misremembered, he opened the drawer next to him, only to see a snake leap up and bite his wrist hard.
Wang Shu screamed and quickly took two steps back. He saw two deep teeth marks on his hand, from which blood seeped out, and a swollen and numb sensation spread rapidly.
The snake that bit him climbed up the desk to the windowsill and quickly disappeared.
Wang Shu was terrified, a sense of fear rising within him.
He couldn't find the towel he put in, and instead got bitten by a poisonous snake. Is this just a coincidence?
They searched the lobby and rooms thoroughly but found nothing belonging to a foreign man.
Wang Shu came out clutching his wrist, his face slightly pale, and his steps were a little unsteady.
"What happened to your hand?" Mr. Jiang asked.
"A snake suddenly jumped out of the young lady's study drawer. How could the young lady keep a snake in her study?" Wang Shu was both furious and scared, and his questioning voice trembled.
He won't get those valuables, and it's uncertain whether he can even save his life.
Jiang Shulan was baffled: "What snake? I don't keep any snakes."
"Young Miss, stop making excuses. I saw with my own eyes that I went into your study and came out with my hands in this state. Could it be that you were dissatisfied with the search, so you had someone put a snake in the drawer to seek revenge?"
Jiang Shulan snorted: "Don't try to pin something on me that I didn't do. You're just a servant. From the beginning, you were aggressive when you brought people to my courtyard gate saying you wanted to search. Now you're trying to smear me. Who gave you the guts?"
"Perhaps Heaven disapproves of your actions and sees that you harbor selfish motives, so it punishes you. You should reflect on your words and deeds."
Mr. Jiang also felt that this matter was a bit strange, but the surrounding area was full of gardens, planted with grass and trees, so it was not impossible for a snake to appear in the house.
He ordered someone to take Wang Shu to receive treatment, saying, "Since a snake has appeared, it means the search was inappropriate, so there's no need to continue searching."
Upon hearing this, Da Meng was the first to disagree: "Master Jiang, we've already searched the young lady's courtyard. If we stop here, it's as if we're telling people that this search is targeting the young lady and that something is wrong with her. Either don't search in the first place, or if you're going to search, check all the women's courtyards."
"This—" Mr. Jiang thought it made sense, but when he thought of the biting snake, he couldn't make a decision for the time being.
I'm afraid that if I continue searching, other unusual situations will arise. And with the wedding just around the corner, it's precisely at times like these that we can't afford any mishaps.
