Ruan Tang patted Xiao Bai's head and put it back in her pocket.

"Grandma, let's go."

"Next stop, Bai Mansion."

She wanted to see how the hidden pawn would react after she had also removed Mayor Bai, this "chess piece."

...

The White Mansion is located in the east of the city, in a separate area of ​​Western-style villas.

It is completely different from the lively atmosphere of Chunliu Lane, which is crowded in the alley.

The roads here are wide and the streetlights are bright. Each building is enclosed by a waist-high wrought iron fence, giving off an air of aloofness and strictness that keeps strangers at bay.

The puppet grandmother, carrying Ruan Tang on her back, landed silently in the back garden of the Bai Mansion, like a shadow blending into the darkness.

As expected, Mayor Bai's house is truly magnificent; that little courtyard in Chunliu Lane is simply incomparable.

Ruan Tang slid off her mother-in-law's back, took out the treasure-hunting rat from her pocket, and then took out twenty empty storage bags, handing them to Xiao Bai.

"The usual."

Ruan Tang tapped Xiao Bai's nose, lowered her voice, and spoke in a gentle, persuasive tone.

"This time, we need to do the job properly."

"Keep the blankets, and remember to cover them up properly. We are acting on behalf of Heaven, not bandits entering the village."

The treasure-hunting mouse nodded its little head heavily, its black bean eyes shining like two small searchlights.

It still harbors resentment about being disliked by its owner for being "undignified" last time.

This time, I must appear both professional and elegant!

With a special sleeping potion dangling from its mouth, Xiao Bai moved with lightning speed, slipping through a half-open window on the second floor.

Ruan Tang sat down on the swing in the garden, swinging her legs comfortably.

Before long, the lights in several rooms on the second floor went out one after another.

Xiaobai's efficiency remains as high as ever.

First, they took away the entire safe from Mayor Bai's study, leaving behind nothing of the boxes, porcelain, jade, or calligraphy and paintings in the secret room behind the bookshelf.

Then, in a hidden compartment of Madam Bai's dressing table, they found a box full of diamonds and jewelry.

It didn't even spare the two children's rooms. The imported toy train in the boy's room, the dolls in the girl's room, and even the coin jar under the bed were all looted clean.

Finally, Xiao Bai, with his short legs, huffed and puffed as he dragged up the silk quilt from the master bedroom and carefully covered Mayor Bai's wife with it, even tucking the corners in thoughtfully.

Mission accomplished!

It puffed out its little chest, carrying twenty storage bags stuffed full, and returned to Ruan Tang's side as if showing off its accomplishment.

Ruan Tang packed her things and then slowly entered the Western-style building.

She followed the same method, using her divine sense to probe into the minds of the three people on the bed.

As expected, Madam Bai and her two children had a very shallow impression of the Ruan family, which was almost negligible.

Ruan Tang was completely relieved.

Her consciousness did not withdraw; instead, like an invisible pen, it began to vividly depict the memories of the three.

In Mayor Bai's wife's memory, she implanted a vivid and sensual drama.

The play is called "Betrayal and Destruction".

The plot is that Ruan Tang vividly describes how Mayor Bai and his mistress Jia Ximei had long colluded to embezzle the Bai family's assets and plotted to murder Madam Bai and her two children.

When Mrs. Bai wakes up again and finds her house empty, she will immediately be reminded of these memories: the letters between Mayor Bai and his lover that she accidentally saw, as well as evidence of the transfer of assets.

This led her to realize that her husband had not only betrayed her, but had also emptied the house while she was asleep!

Ruan Tang even added a few scenes of her father being tender and affectionate towards a strange woman to the two children's dreams, in a rather wicked way.
