out of its Hole Watching Zhang Fan’s actions, everyone in the room fell silent, and numerous gazes suddenly fixed on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Fan, have you found something!” Dong Qing hurriedly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan stared at the projection frozen on the wall, his gaze firmly fixed on the elder Dong patriarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Healing Spiritual Value suddenly spiked by more than thirty points, there was definitely no mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the elder Dong patriarch was strolling around the Dong Family courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding lights were pure and flawless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was hardly any difference from the daytime!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Dong Family courtyard was clear and visible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, what was the medium?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan widened his eyes, scrutinizing everything around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flowers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder Dong patriarch hadn’t touched anything either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the cause then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Zhang Fan’s eyes began to flicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, a puddle of water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the illumination of the lights, wisps of faint mist emerged from the surface!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there a problem with the water?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan immediately turned his head and asked Dong Qing, “What’s the name of the bodyguard on the elder’s left side?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Ke, why, is there a problem with him?” Dong Qing spoke in a deep voice, his eyes emitting a chilling light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan quickly shook his head, “No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just asking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Zhang Fan accessed the System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Healing, Xu Ke!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding, the target’s vital signs are intact!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhang Fan fell into contemplation again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vital signs intact?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could that be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the water on the ground was the medium for the poison, then the two bodyguards by the elder Dong patriarch’s side would surely have been poisoned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, this wasn’t right at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had to be something overlooked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Definitely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But around them, apart from the water on the ground, there was nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No other external elements!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the bodyguards beside the elder Dong patriarch were unharmed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What on earth was the problem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan’s eyes flickered rapidly, his pupils constricting as he stared intently at the projection on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Zhang Fan grabbed the Hive Controller and pulled up the segment of the video from just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder Dong patriarch walked in front, with the two bodyguards closely following behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no emergency situations!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Zhang Fan focused his gaze on the other people around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched it six or seven times over and over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was no suspicious person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, why had the elder Dong patriarch been poisoned?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhang Fan deep in thought, everyone’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Fan, did you discover something?” Lin Yan asked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan nodded, then immediately asked Lin Yan, “Grandfather Lin, look, if Grandpa Dong was poisoned here, what do you think could be the medium of poisoning?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this environment?” Lin Yan furrowed his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, he confidently stated, “It can only be the water on the ground that’s suspicious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan shook his head, “Besides the water on the ground?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yan’s eyes widened, he looked around for a while, and then shook his head, “Then I have no idea!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Zhang Fan’s gaze flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, the poison in the elder’s body was a mixed poison; could it be possible that the water on the ground was only a trigger condition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something the elder Dong patriarch did, and something the other bodyguards didn’t?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan’s pupils constricted, quickly recalling every event since the elder Dong patriarch left the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Food?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the only thing the bodyguards hadn’t touched was food!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Dong Qing had said that the elder’s food was all checked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was a mixed poison, there would still be other ingredients, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where exactly is the problem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Zhang Fan fell into deep thought again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fan Ge, that light, it seemed to flicker!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xuan pointed at the light on the projector and let out a light gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The light?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan’s gaze suddenly froze as he looked towards the projection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where?” Zhang Fan quickly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s that one in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Grandpa Dong passed by, the light dimmed a bit,” Ye Xuan said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Zhang Fan’s gaze was fixed on the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another look at the area of the floor that had been cleaned as Grandpa Dong passed by, a glint appeared in Zhang Fan’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, as Grandpa Dong passed by, the light suddenly dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when Grandpa Dong had walked past, the light returned to normal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be a problem with the light?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan turned his head and asked Lin Yan, “Grandpa Lin, are there any toxins that decompose under light?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Light decomposition?” Lin Yan pondered, then his eyes widened suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, there definitely are!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan immediately stood up and said to Dong Qing, “Check that light, now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Qing nodded, his face stern as he walked out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, Dong Qing came back, his eyes filled with an extremely angry expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a controller on the light, it’s remote-controlled, and there’s an ultraviolet emitter on top.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Dong Qing’s words, Zhang Fan took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, Poison Spider, these bastards are using high tech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They targeted the light; if Ye Xuan hadn’t suddenly noticed this, no one would have suspected the reason lay with the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s even more terrifying is that they knew Grandpa Dong’s daily habits like the back of their hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t tamper with the food but with something as mundane as the cleaning water on the floor and the lighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scheming is terrifyingly brilliant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Zhang Fan formed a new understanding of Poison Spider’s men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing without trace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Test it right away to see if it’s really because of the ultraviolet light and the water on the floor!” Zhang Fan immediately said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, I’ll do it myself!” Dong Qing nodded and walked out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Dong Qing stand where Grandpa Dong had stood before, Zhang Fan immediately turned on the Healing System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heal, Dong Qing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding, spend 38 Spiritual Value for healing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhang Fan heard this voice, he finally became excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this damn thing that poisoned Grandpa Dong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Zhang Fan relayed this message to Dong Qing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Dong Qing, he too unleashed resolute measures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than ten minutes, the information of the person who installed the light and who cleaned the floor was found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no problem with the people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are long-time servants of the Dong Family, over twenty years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wanted to harm the old master, he would have been dead a long time ago!” Dong Qing’s eyes were chillingly cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Check everyone who has come into contact with these two in the past month, especially the newcomers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed by, minute by minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until late at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after the investigation, they found\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no one suspicious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this result, Zhang Fan’s eyes bulged, completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poison Spider’s people managed to be flawless in their execution?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the hell can there be such meticulous people with no slip-ups?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody who had come into contact with these two had any issues—not a single one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Zhang Fan started to get a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, a cold smirk appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Dong, spread the news, saying Grandpa Dong has been poisoned, and that Grandpa Gao, Grandpa Lin, and I are discussing treatment plans for Grandpa Dong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How deep could they hide?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was going to lure the snake out of its hole!\u003C\u002Fp>",1271,"2026-06-08T10:03:22.317Z",1,"novelbin.me","78b66524284589efd9a5661a31d94d3380326cd8bb6b7ef4e39918fe4b0e3e20","the-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-chapter-650","the-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-chapter-648",1920,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-cover.jpg"]
