Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 3501: Paving a Way Out for Oneself

Chief Zuo’s steps didn’t slow, but his eyes flickered.

It’s hard to say who did it now. Everyone thinks it was the ones who secretly poisoned them, but is the truth really that simple?

Those people don’t have that kind of ability, to set so many of their granaries ablaze all at once.

You have to know, the information he received said all those granaries were ignited at the same time, with no time lapse at all. Is that something those people could pull off?

If they really had that kind of ability, how could they still be hiding in the dark?

They would’ve come out into the open long ago.

“Where is Chief Xiao Yi? Is he still unconscious even now?” he asked.

“Yes.”

The Evil Cultivator nodded.

“The news I received is that Chief Xiao Yi was deeply poisoned and is almost at his limit. It’s only thanks to his profound cultivation level that he can barely cling to one last breath.”

He felt Chief Xiao Yi was truly unlucky. Usually it was one thing to be targeted by Ge Leader every day; that he could still handle.

But now, Ge Leader had directly used a handful of poisoned acres and left the man half-dead.

“When you think about Chief Xiao Yi, he really is unlucky,” he sighed.

“Heh.”

Chief Zuo did not comment on his subordinate’s evaluation of Xiao Yi.

With how well he knew Xiao Yi, how could he be so easily brought down by poison? There was a lot of acting in this.

As for why he wanted to act, only Chief Xiao Yi himself would know. Of course, it wasn’t his place to say anything. He couldn’t very well go to the master like Ge Leader did and file a complaint against Xiao Yi, saying he was faking his coma, could he?

If he did that, wouldn’t he be dragged into it as well?

“Spread out separately, just as I said earlier. Make them concentrate their efforts on rescuing one location.”

“Yes, at your command.”

The Evil Cultivator took the order. Without asking what Chief Zuo intended to do, he hurried away.

As for Chief Zuo, he naturally headed to Xiao Yi’s Mansion. There were some things he needed to confirm, and if it went well, he might carve out a way to survive for himself.

…

“Why would he be coming?”

When Xiao Yi heard the scout’s report that Chief Zuo was heading alone in the direction of his Mansion, he signaled the stand-in lying on the bed to get up.

A stand-in could fool ordinary people, but Chief Zuo…

That man wasn’t as stupid as Ge Leader, who was schemed against without even knowing it and still thought quite highly of himself.

The Evil Cultivator on the bed quickly got up and stepped down, watching their Chief lie down and close his eyes to feign unconsciousness. “Chief, aren’t you going to take the medicine?”

He asked with some concern.

The last time Ge Leader came, the Chief had taken medicine to muddle through it.

This time Chief Zuo’s brain works much better than Ge Leader’s. Was the Chief sure he didn’t need to poison himself again or set some other trap for Chief Zuo?

“No need.”

Xiao Yi spat out the two words with his eyes closed.

Since Chief Zuo was coming alone, there was no need to make it so troublesome.

If Chief Zuo wasn’t here to cause trouble, he naturally wouldn’t expose his act. But if that man was here to give him a hard time, then he didn’t need to be polite either.

Most likely, after this grain-warehouse-fire incident, Yang Tianxiu would quickly realize that he was the one stirring things up behind the scenes.

Of course, even if Yang Tianxiu figured it out, he wouldn’t move against him just yet.

At least, he wouldn’t do anything to him on the surface. If he made a move, it would only be in secret—and if he wanted to make a move, he had only that team leader of his guard squad to use.
