Chapter 2836: Chapter 2837: The Mad Poisoning of the Entire Residence
"Get lost!" Jiang Yichun’s fists were clenched so tightly they cracked; he wished he could just kill her on the spot, but he had to hold back. He instructed others to keep an eye on Zhu Ning and went to hide elsewhere.
The guards had all heard Zhu Ning’s words and felt nothing but contempt and disgust for this woman. One guard spit in disgust and cursed, "Cheap!"
Zhu Ning, however, gave him a flirtatious smile, "You guys don’t get any time off doing this job, do you? It’s hard to find a woman, right?"
"Shut up!" the guard yelled.
Zhu Ning stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, "Want to try it with me? You wouldn’t be someone who’s never touched a woman, have you?"
She laughed loudly, making the guard’s face turn red as he quickly walked away.
"Sir, I really can’t stand it, please replace me." the guard said with a flushed face.
Jiang Yichun frowned, "You’re picking assignments now?"
"But..." The guard courageously recounted Zhu Ning’s words, making Jiang Yichun’s face even darker.
He wasn’t sure if Zhu Ning had been touched by someone, feeling if it’s Bai Ruozhu, Zhu Ning’s unruly behavior would surely disgust Ruozhu?
No way, he definitely had to find a way to undo this Transfer Technique.
"Get me paper and pen."
The guard brought paper and pen, and he quickly wrote a letter, sending it to the Commerce Association to be handed over to Gao Zhou in Beiyu City.
The Commerce Association is quick with messages; the letter reached Gao Zhou the next day.
"Transfer Technique? Chushuang, do you know how to crack it?" Gao Zhou asked.
Chushuang frowned, "I need to look at the specifics first. Even for the Transfer Technique, there are many types. It depends on how she performed it."
"Shall we head to Liuri City now?" Gao Zhou asked.
"What about home?" Chushuang shook her head, "Let’s catch that Poison Master first. From what we see now, as long as Zhu Ning doesn’t die, Ruozhu will be fine."
Gao Zhou glanced at the three children playing not far away, and that’s all he could do for now.
At this moment, a guard came running from the distance, "Sir, the maid used an excuse of fetching water to go to the well."
"Gather your men, it’s time to close the net." Gao Zhou squinted and said to Chushuang, "Achun and the rest have probably disrupted Ma Tongfang’s plan; the other side is furious and plans to take action."
"You go watch them, I’ll protect the three children." Chushuang said.
"Okay, be careful," Gao Zhou said as he quickly headed toward the backyard.
Little Dengdeng caught up, "Grandpa, are you going to catch the bad guys? Take me with you, Dengdeng is already very skilled."
"We’re dealing with a Poison Master, not some game. Dengdeng, stay here and protect your two brothers." Gao Zhou patted his head.
Little Dengdeng pouted; although unwilling, he knew he shouldn’t be stubborn and watched Gao Zhou leave with eager eyes.
Gao Zhou hurried to where the little maid fetched water but didn’t see her. The guards were peering into the well and, seeing him come, quickly said, "Sir, after the little maid finished fetching water, she suddenly jumped into the well."
"She discovered you. Get a retrieval team ready." Gao Zhou’s heart sank, and he turned to another guard, "Quick, notify all locations in the Residence; no well water is to be used today. Be extra cautious!"
The guards brought up a bucket of water, and Gao Zhou frowned deeply upon seeing it, "Severe poison."
"Is it dangerous to touch it? Should we send someone to retrieve her?" The guard asked.
Gao Zhou raised his hand, "No, anyone who touches it will be poisoned. Seal this area. I don’t believe she can stay hidden underwater forever..."
His tone suddenly cut off as he widened his eyes, asking, "Is there an underwater passage in the well?"
"N-no sure..." The guard quickly replied.
Gao Zhou shuddered and quickly said, "I’m going to the front yard; report anything immediately to me."
An ominous Poison Master had emitted severe poison into the Bai Residence’s well water, surely intending to poison everyone.
If Little Dengdeng hadn’t been clever and noticed her suspicious behavior early, the entire residence might have been poisoned tonight.
The poison is highly potent; more than half could die, and children, once exposed, might not have time for an antidote.
What a ruthless heart, what a crazy plan!
Such a vicious person, if she escapes through the underwater passage, what else will she do?
Gao Zhou used his Qinggong and sprinted; if the well is connected to another, the Poison Master might escape from another well and possibly seek...
She wanted to kill everyone, and the ones she would least spare are those children, because if something happens to them, it would be the most painful, even devastating, for Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun.
Gao Zhou sprinted to the place where Chushuang and the children were previously, and before he got there, he saw water traces on the ground.
The Poison Master jumped into the well, crept out wet, so wherever she went, there must be water!
However, Chushuang wasn’t here, and the children were also missing; were they kidnapped?
Gao Zhou’s mind was in turmoil as he rushed into the nearby room, searching and even loudly calling, "Chushuang, Dengdeng, where are you?"
The surroundings were very quiet, with only the chirps of insects, no one answered him.
"Where is everyone?" Gao Zhou shouted.
Finally, a guard came running, "Sir, the old lady took the young masters to Miss Chenxi’s place, told me to inform you to hurry over."
"Did you escort them?" Gao Zhou stared at the man, afraid he might be a spy.
"Yes." The guard answered.
"They arrived safely, and there was no one around?" Gao Zhou continued questioning.
The guard shook his head in confusion, "No."
Gao Zhou pointed at the water stains on the ground, questioned, "Then where did this water come from?"
The guard paused in surprise, "The little one doesn’t know; they weren’t here earlier."
"I’ll go find them." Gao Zhou hurriedly threw aside the guard and sprinted towards Wan Caiyue’s yard.
If he guessed correctly, it’s Chushuang who first took the children away, the Poison Master came and didn’t find them, now probably giving chase.
Gao Zhou quickened his pace; this Poison Master is absolutely not the innocent-looking girl he saw on the surface. Judging by her methods and the degree of cruelty, they’ve guarded against her for a long time, but still can’t prevent everything.
Her appearance and body shape could both be fake; once she sheds those disguises, no one knows what she truly looks like!
...
"Auntie, why are you all here?" Wan Caiyue asked curiously as she saw Chushuang urgently arriving with three kids.
"Sister-in-law, there are bad guys in the Residence; we’ve come to protect you and the little sister!" Little Dengdeng quickly spoke.
Wan Caiyue was taken aback, "Bad guys?"
Chushuang feared frightening her, pulled her hand, and said, "Stay by my side with Chenxi; let’s be extra cautious. Maybe Achun’s father has already caught them."
"Okay, okay." Wan Caiyue tightened her grip on her daughter’s hand, but Little Chenxi kept tugging, "Mom, I want to play with Brother Dengdeng."
Dengdeng sternly said, "Brother Dengdeng? Call me Brother Chengtai, I’m grown-up now, use the proper name."
"Brother Chengtai." Chenxi playfully stuck out her tongue.
