Winner Takes All novel Chapter 839

In the quiet bamboo forest.

The bamboo leaves were rustling.

In silence, the bamboo leaves on the ground arched slightly and slowly moved forward.

And the target…was Bamboo Grove.

In the quiet and secluded bamboo forest, this scene was like a ghost.

Nobody noticed it.

When the slight arch was only 50 metres from Bamboo Grove, the arch abruptly stopped.

In the ground full of bamboo leaves, it was not obvious.

It was as if…everything had never happened.

Time passed.

For the entire day.

Jack stayed in the room and was savouring Tao Te Ching. For him, each savour gave him a unique feeling and over time, reading Tao Te Ching in the leisure time had gradually become his habit.

Because of the sniping, Brent and Daisy also specifically changed the room for Jack.

The new room was not only able to greatly isolate the snooping from outside but its protective measures were also rearranged in one day.

Although it could not completely block the thermal imager’s detection, it could attenuate and blur the detection to the greatest extent.

‘Knock knock knock’.

The knocks sounded on the door.

Jack, who was indulging in reading Tao Te Ching, was pulled back to reality.

When he looked up at the door, Amber had already carefully opened the door.

“Honey, it’s getting dark, it’s time for dinner.”

“Alright, I’ll be right over.”

Jack put down Tao Te Ching, pushed the wheelchair and headed out.

In the dining room.

Daisy had already prepared a full table of food with an overflowing aroma. They were mouth-watering.

But after everyone was seated, they did not immediately move their chopsticks.

They were apparently waiting for something.

At the table, there was silence. The atmosphere was a bit odd.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Daisy suddenly stood up and turned around to go to the kitchen.

Very soon, she came out with a small iron cage.

There was a small white mouse inside the small iron cage. It was scurrying around in the small iron cage.

“It’s okay, it’s fine to eat now.”

Daisy smiled.

Hearing this.

The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became relaxed.

Jack first picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of fish into Amber’s bowl using the chopsticks. Then, he smiled and joked at Mysterious Man.

“Senior, aren’t you a little too careful to do this. Before Daisy serves the food, every dish and even water will be tested and analyzed with all kinds of instruments, is there really a need to get a small white mouse to experiment again?”

Everyone looked at Mysterious Man in confusion.

Experimenting with a small white mouse was proposed by Mysterious Man in the afternoon all of a sudden.

However, just like Jack, everyone could not understand the purpose that Mysterious Man wanted to do so.

This was because with the advanced technology now, a variety of instruments that could analyse and test the food was able to find out the material composition of the food very clearly, not to mention the poison.

He did not believe the analysis and test result of these various sophisticated instruments and instead, he even tested the food with a mouse before the meal.

To put such “ancestral” settings in a bad way, it was indeed as if to gild the lily, which is totally unnecessary!

However.

Mysterious Man shook his head, “There are some things that can kill people but the instrument can’t detect. Only after the food enters the stomach then we can determine whether the food is safe to be eaten.”

Jack and the others were stunned.

“Let’s eat.”

Mysterious Man did not intend to explain in detail and directly picked up the chopsticks.

Jack and the others also did not insist to ask him and they were ready to pick up the chopsticks.

Everyone had already understood Mysterious Man’s personality well. Regarding what he refused to say, even if they kept asking, they would definitely not get an answer.

Since Mysterious Man insisted and there was no harm anyway, they would not deny having one more precautionary step.

However, when Amber was picking up the piece of fish in the bowl and the crowd was going to move their chopsticks.

Out of the blue.

“Squeak…”

The small white mouse let out a mournful and miserable cry.
