Chapter 98 The Shadow



The older sister-in-law laughed and said, "So, we make money if the younger sister has to do all the work?"

The third brother was a little embarrassed; he hadn't thought that far ahead.

That's true, it's not that the method of preparation is delicious, it's that my sister's cooking is delicious...

Unexpectedly, Ruan Meng readily agreed, "Sure! I'll open a restaurant for Third Brother from now on, and he'll be the owner!"

Even when coaxing him, the third brother was happy and insisted on washing all the dishes!

They all returned to their rooms, preparing to get some quick sleep, as Xiao Kai would be arriving shortly.

However, they had only been asleep for less than fifteen minutes when, still half asleep, they heard a noise behind the house.

Ruan Meng listened for a while, initially not wanting to move, but then she heard her second brother next door get up, and heard commotion coming from the front...

Ruan Meng instantly rolled over and rushed out. The third brother was also shaken awake by the second brother and followed her out.

"What's wrong?"

The second brother asked Ruan Meng.

Ruan Meng looked in the direction the dark figure disappeared, glanced around to make sure no one was there, and then went back inside.

Although her second brother was timid, Ruan Meng did not intend to hide it.

Ignoring potential dangers could bring even greater disaster to your family.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law got up, and Ruan Meng went to their room with the second and third brothers.

"Brother, I just saw a figure."

The elder brother's face darkened, and the elder sister-in-law's expression changed.

"Sister, what is their purpose?"

The second son's face was a little pale, and he asked Ruan Meng a question.

Ruan Meng couldn't figure it out; it was all about money.

The Ruan family's business was gradually improving, and their meals were noticeably better. In other people's eyes, this was a sign of showing off their wealth, wasn't it?

Everything stored in the stone house can be sold for cash, whether it's food ingredients or already prepared oyster sauce and broth.

However, if the other party's intention is to cause sabotage, it's also very easy.

All you need to do is add something to the oyster sauce and broth when the Ruan family isn't looking.

Not only will it affect their business, but it will also force the Ruan family to leave.

Upon hearing this, the second son's expression immediately changed.

The elder brother asked in a deep voice, "Little sister, did you see clearly whether the other party entered the stone house?"

Ruan Meng replied seriously, "I didn't go in. As soon as they got close, I rushed out before they could react."

“I checked the locks on the stone house; they hadn’t been pried open.”

The eldest brother visibly relaxed and calmed down to think things through.

The third brother suddenly stood up. "I'm going out to see who it is!"

Ruan Meng pulled her third brother down, saying, "He's long gone!"

The second son suddenly looked up and asked, "But, little sister, the noise I heard was behind the house, yet you rushed forward..."

Ruan Meng picked up the bucket and wooden frame, and had her third brother hold the tinderbox. She had just walked to the back of the house when she was ambushed!

A long, thin object flew towards the third brother.

The third brother quickly retreated, and the tinderbox was blown to one side by the night wind.

The third brother realized what was happening, took a few steps forward, and tried to pull Ruan Meng behind him.

Unexpectedly, the second brother jumped out from behind and blocked Ruan Meng's way.

He was on edge, his arms outstretched in front of him, looking extremely tense.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

Ruan Meng saw it and was both moved and amused.

Hearing the noise, the elder brother and sister-in-law told the sister-in-law to stand guard at the front door, while the elder brother came over carrying a torch.

"Big brother!"

Ruan Meng's expression immediately changed, and she saw several arrow-like objects shooting towards her elder brother!

Ruan Meng and her third brother simultaneously swept their legs, kicking the "flying arrow" aside.

But seeing more silver "arrows" hurtling towards her eldest and third brothers, Ruan Meng reacted quickly, shouting to them:

"Turn off the engine!"

The eldest brother turned around and quickly extinguished the torch, and the third brother also put out the tinderbox.

The sound gradually faded, and only the "drumming" could be heard from the side and rear.

The second child hid behind Ruanmeng, his voice trembling.

"Little sister, what is that?!"

Ruan Meng smiled and asked her third brother to fetch the wooden basin.

The second brother was completely confused. Seeing that his older brother was also helping, he shrank back and went to help carry the wooden basin.

Four wooden basins were placed together. Ruan Meng chuckled, her eyes filled with ill intent towards her third brother.

"Third Brother, thank you for your hard work!"

The third brother seemed to have thought of something, but looking at his frail eldest brother and his frightened second brother, he raised the tinderbox.
