Chapter 2253 - 2226: Crisis on the Rise

"Okay, okay, stop talking, come and eat quickly, if we wait any longer, the food will get cold."

At this moment, He Cailan, who had been standing by without speaking, said, "You guys go sit down first, I’ll go upstairs to check on Manman and call her down to eat."

"Grandma, wait downstairs, I’ll go upstairs to call Manman down for dinner."

As she spoke, Bai Weiwei prepared to run upstairs to call Mandala.

"Weiwei, wait for me, take me with you! I’ll help you say a few good words and make Manman forgive you."

Saying this, Jiang Liufeng stood up from the sofa.

"Thank you, Grandpa, you’re my favorite."

Saying this, Bai Weiwei gave Jiang Liufeng a big kiss on the cheek.

"Alright, alright, take me upstairs first."

"Hmm, Grandpa, I’ll support you."

Watching Jiang Liufeng and Bai Weiwei head upstairs, Bai Qiao Shan gently shook his head, stood up, said something to He Cailan, and also walked upstairs.

...

Meanwhile, a mid-range Buick business sedan had arrived near the Bai Family Ancestral House.

It was already early winter, and the weather in Modu was filled with a chill. On the streets, apart from the occasional vehicles passing by, hardly any pedestrians could be seen walking on the streets.

After arriving near the Bai Family Ancestral House, Tang Fengyun didn’t act immediately; instead, he drove around the area surrounding the Bai Family Ancestral House.

Although Tang Fengyun had absolute confidence in his own strength, he didn’t underestimate the importance of the terrain. He needed to first observe the surrounding geography and carefully plan before taking action.

Moreover, there’s only one chance. If he doesn’t succeed this time, it’s completely imaginable that Bai Qiao Shan will surely be heavily guarded. It would be nearly impossible to find another opportunity to act again, especially with only two days left until the fifth.

It could be said that Tang Fengyun was extremely cautious, so cautious that he would change cars and appearances each time he circled around, being incredibly careful.

As Tang Fengyun drove, he silently noted everything around him through the car window, while internally calculating his approach and retreat routes.

After circling a few times, Tang Fengyun slowly parked the car in an inconspicuous corner, and began calculating again.

One has to admit, Lu Tianxing valued the safety of Bai Qiao Shan and others very much. Even inside the car, his keen perception could clearly sense how many defensive forces were hidden around, making the defense of the entire Bai Family Ancestral House watertight. If another martial artist at the Mythical Realm, even at the Late Stage of Mythical, tried to break in, it wouldn’t be easy. A slight carelessness might expose his tracks and alert the enemy.

If he wanted to take action, he had to succeed in one strike; otherwise, he would alert the enemy. Once he acted, it had to be swift combat—The longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for him. By then, if the experts of the Rose Society rushed over, even if he managed to kidnap Bai Qiao Shan and others, trying to take Bai Qiao Shan back to Shu would be nearly impossible.

So to ensure foolproof security, he had to be extremely careful and couldn’t afford any negligence.

With a deep gaze sweeping over the surroundings, Tang Fengyun slowly brought the car to a stop, took a phone out of his pocket, and dialed a number.

Meanwhile, inside the Bai Family Ancestral House, Jiang Liufeng and Bai Weiwei had already entered Mandala’s room.

Although Mandala was a master poison expert, infamous and unmatched in her poison skills, her boudoir had no terrifying atmosphere. The entire room was decorated in pink, looking full of a young girl’s heart and youthful sensation. However, at this moment, the atmosphere of the room was completely ruined by the desk near the window.

At present, the desk near the window, originally neat, looked exceptionally disgusting. A large black stain sat on the desk, bubbling like boiling mud, eroding the surface while emitting a pungent smell, making one feel nauseous.

Mandala squatted beside a small table, constantly pulling out bottles and jars from a small bag on her body. Her slender hands moved swiftly, pouring powders from the bottles and jars, mixing them together, and then cautiously adding a bit of clear water.

Mandala was so focused that even after Jiang Liufeng and others entered, she seemed unaware, fully engaged in her work.

Jiang Liufeng and others, fearing they might disturb Mandala, tiptoed to her side.

But before Jiang Liufeng and others could reach Mandala’s side, she suddenly stopped her action, turned her head to glance at Jiang Liufeng and others, then turned back, concentrating on her own work again.

Jiang Liufeng and the others paused and quietly watched Mandala’s movements.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after a few minutes, Mandala finally stopped her work, slowly picked up a bowl of water in front of her, walked quickly to the desk, and carefully poured the concocted liquid onto the pungent, corrosive black stain on the desk.

"Sizzle!" "Sizzle!" "Sizzle!"

As the potion hit the black stain, it was like a drop of water hitting a boiling oil pan. The black stain bubbled violently, but had no effect, evaporating in a short time. In an instant, the black stain on the desk vanished without a trace. If not for the corroded, ragged desk, one might have doubted whether the desk was originally in that condition.

Seeing this strange scene, even Bai Weiwei, who was normally carefree, felt a chill, shuddered slightly, and her small face turned pale. She carefully asked Mandala, "Manman, is it done?"

"Not done yet."

Mandala cast a side glance at Bai Weiwei and said, "My desk is unusable now; you have to buy me a new one."

"No problem, Manman, I’ll pay for the desk," Bai Weiwei immediately thumped her chest in response to Mandala’s words.
