Chapter 384 Cobra's Revenge?
Jiang Yuan tilted her head and looked at Xiao Xu, "He really is a cobra."

"Then why didn't he go to the hospital for emergency treatment right away?" Xiao Xu wondered. "He's an adult, he should know what a cobra is, right?"

“It is indeed very strange.” Jiang Yuan’s slender eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at the crows again. “Did you witness what happened?”

"What do you mean?" the crow asked, puzzled.

Jiang Yuan: "Did you guys see that snake bite that man?"

"Yes!" said the crow, "and we can see it very clearly!"

Jiang Yuan's eyes brightened slightly. "Then can you tell me what happened back then?"

“Of course!” the crow agreed readily. “When that cobra appeared, all the rats and cockroaches in the room were scared away.”

"I see." Jiang Yuan nodded. "No wonder we couldn't find any animals inside the house."

“Yes!” said the crow. “Actually, we were a little scared too, but since the snake didn’t attack us, we didn’t leave.”

Jiang Yuan: "So what did you see? Can you tell me in detail?"

"Yes, I saw the snake swim into the house, and the male human was still sleeping."

"Yes, that male human didn't notice the snake was coming."

"By the way, that snake really dislikes that male human. I heard it constantly cursing him, saying he was utterly hateful!"

"That's right, that snake said that the male human killed its wife and children, and it wants the male human to die."

A look of confusion appeared in Jiang Yuan's eyes. "Did the male human kill its wife and children?"

Crow: "That's what the snake said."

"After it bit that male human, did that human wake up?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Yes," the crow nodded. "When a snake bites a human, the human is immediately startled awake. When they see the snake, they are terrified and keep calling out."

"Yes, he found his hand had been bitten and probably tried to call for help, but the snake coiled its tail around him and he couldn't move."

Jiang Yuan was astonished upon hearing this.

Was this cobra specifically sent to take a life?
"When that snake left, were the humans still moving?"

The crow shook its head: "They're not moving. The human is lying on the ground, completely still."

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan looked at the crows, her eyes curving slightly. “Thank you for the clues you provided.”

She and Xiao Xu turned around and saw Ye Shengqi's wife standing not far away, making a phone call, a sweet smile on her face.

The two exchanged a glance and then walked over.

"Mrs. Ye," Xiao Xu called out.

Mrs. Ye hurriedly hung up the phone. "Officer, is something wrong?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at her indifferently, "Has your husband ever mentioned cobras to you?"

"Cobra?" Mrs. Ye thought for a moment and said, "I think so. They went hiking last Friday night and said they encountered a cobra and were almost bitten."

"Did you say anything else?" Xiao Xu asked.

Mrs. Ye shook her head. "No, I was busy at the time, so I didn't ask too many questions."

"Okay." Xiao Xu and Jiang Yuan returned to the house and told Si Heng and the others about it.

After listening, everyone remained silent for a few seconds before leaving Ye Shengqi's house.

On the way back to the police station, Meng Xiaokai couldn't help but exclaim, "What's going on? Is this Cobra's revenge?"

He Le frowned: "Is it because Ye Shengqi killed Cobra's wife and children?"

"It's getting weirder and weirder!" Chen Ziqi clicked his tongue in amazement. "That snake even knew how to use its tail to stop Ye Shengqi from calling for help. It's too clever..."

East Bank Villas.

Jiang Yuan returned home and finished washing up at one o'clock in the morning.

She lay in bed, constantly thinking about the cobra. The system quest "Appease the Snake King" must refer to this cobra.

Where is it now?
Jiang Yuan drifted off to sleep, but unexpectedly, her phone rang suddenly around 5 a.m.

She thought it was the alarm clock, so she reached for her phone on the bedside table and squinted at the screen.

It's not an alarm clock.

It was Si Heng's call.

Jiang Yuan's sleepiness vanished instantly. She threw back the covers, sat up, cleared her throat, and answered the phone, "Si Heng, is there a mission?"

"Yes," Si Heng's voice carried a hint of apology, "I disturbed your sleep."

"No." Jiang Yuan immediately turned on the light and got out of bed. "Are you coming to pick me up?"

"Yes, take a break and prepare."

"I don't need to wait any longer, I'll go wash up now."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuan went into the bathroom.

When I went downstairs, I saw that the lights were on on the first floor and Zeng Guilin was mopping the floor wearing an apron.

"Xiao Zeng." Jiang Yuan walked towards her, her tone as helpless as ever, "It's only a little past five o'clock, why are you up?"

"Yuan Yuan, why are you up so early?" Zeng Guilin wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile, "I've had enough sleep, so I got up to work."

“Actually, the house isn’t that dirty, so you don’t need to mop the floor every day,” Jiang Yuan said. “Mopping every two days is fine.”

Before Zeng Guilin came, they would only mop the floor once every three to five days.

“That won’t do, that won’t do.” Zeng Guilin felt that since Jiang Yuan was paying her such a high salary, she would definitely have to do more work.

"Listen to me." Jiang Yuan raised her hand and patted her shoulder. "Alright, Zeng, I'm going out now."

"You haven't had breakfast yet!" Zeng Guilin slapped her forehead, somewhat anxiously. "I was planning to cook it later... what am I going to do!"

"It's alright, don't worry," Jiang Yuan said with a smile. "I'll just buy something to eat outside."

Zeng Guilin: "How about I cook you a bowl of noodles right now? It'll be quick!"

"I'm afraid it'll be too late." Jiang Yuan walked towards the entrance and called out, "It's okay, Zeng, you can go back to sleep for a while. I'm leaving."

She changed her shoes and walked out of the villa.

When the cats and dogs heard her voice, they all got up and came to her, greeting her with a cacophony of "Good morning!"

Good morning, Yuan Yuan!

"Yuan Yuan, you're up so early today!"

Good morning, Yuan Yuan!

"..."

"Good morning, everyone." Jiang Yuan squatted down and rubbed everyone's heads. "I have things to do today."

"You've worked hard," Blueberry said with concern. "You don't seem to have slept much last night! Aren't you tired?"

Jiang Yuan happened to yawn. "I'm a little sleepy, but I have to work."

She vaguely saw a car parked outside the villa gate. "I have to go. You guys behave yourselves and don't fight."

Blueberry watched her retreating figure and sighed, meowing, "Yuan Yuan, you're working so hard. You have to go to work so early."

"Why does Yuan Yuan have to go to work?" Hua Hua asked, puzzled.

Pudding explained, "It's to earn money to support us. Our whole family eats a lot of money every day!"

Hua Hua's fuzzy face wrinkled. "Then I'll eat less from now on."

"That won't do," Blueberry disagreed. "Eating too little will make you sick, and seeing a doctor will cost even more money! You must eat well, take good care of yourself, and try not to cause trouble for Yuan Yuan!"

Upon hearing this, all the furry creatures nodded earnestly in agreement.
