"Aww!"
Jiang Dayong cried out in pain, but then shut his mouth again, worried that he would be recognized.
Seeing this, Jiang He also raised his fist and rushed over, giving Jiang Daniu and Jiang Dayong a thorough beating.
Jiang Dayong and Jiang Daniu were in excruciating pain all over their bodies, but they dared not cry out loud and could only grit their teeth and endure it.
The two men scurried around the main room, dodging and weaving, hoping to avoid being beaten as much as possible.
However, they were facing Jiang He and Jiang Jiang, two brothers who were not only strong but also had some martial arts training since childhood. Even in a dark room, their aim was excellent when they fought.
Wherever it hurts, just target that spot.
Hearing the loud commotion coming from the main room, Jiang Dali knew that Jiang Dayong and Jiang Daniu had been discovered by the Jiang family. He shuddered and quickened his movements with the wire, but his nervousness made him more prone to making mistakes. Seeing that the commotion in the main room was getting louder and louder, Jiang Dali gave up on the idea of entering through the front door.
He walked halfway around the east room and came to the window of the east room.
The window was open!
Jiang Dali's eyes lit up as he looked at the open window with delight.
Without delay, before Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang were woken up, he had to quickly climb through the window and find the secret recipe that Jiang Wanwan had placed on the dresser.
Jiang Dali quietly opened the window as wide as possible so that he could climb into the room.
"Squeak!"
A noise came from the window, startling Jiang Dali so much that he immediately stopped what he was doing and stared intently at the two elderly people sleeping on the bed.
Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang were still fast asleep, completely unaware that someone had moved the window.
Jiang Dali breathed a sigh of relief and skillfully and nimbly climbed through the window into the house.
After sneaking into the house silently, Jiang Dali tiptoed quickly to the chest of drawers inside.
"The third drawer..."
Jiang Dali recalled the conversation he had overheard between Jiang Wanwan and her father outside the courtyard wall.
He looked at the chest of drawers in front of him, perplexed. Was it the third drawer from the top, the third drawer from the bottom, or the third drawer from the left?
The third floor, where is the third floor?
Is it the third layer of the first column? Or the third layer of the second column? Or perhaps the third layer of the third column?
With so many compartments and so many items, how am I supposed to find anything?
Looking at the nine-compartment cabinet in front of him, Jiang Dali felt a headache coming on.
Jiang Dali gritted his teeth and decided to search from top to bottom, starting with the topmost layer.
Every compartment of the chest of drawers was filled to the brim, and since it was dark, finding things was extremely difficult.
Jiang Dayong's forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat due to nervousness.
Where? Where is it?
I can't find it!
Was Jiang Wanwan playing a trick on him?
That shouldn't be possible! There's no way the Jiang family could have known they'd scaled the wall tonight. Their plan was extremely secretive; no one could possibly know about it.
After searching the topmost compartment, Jiang Dali found no trace of the mosquito coil recipe.
He was so anxious he was about to explode. The noise from next door was getting louder and louder. What if it alerted Old Man Jiang and Old Lady Jiang?
Jiang Dali raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and nose, then buried his head and continued searching.
Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang, who were sleeping on the bed, quietly opened their eyes.
