Poisonous Gum

Returning at dusk, Gu Ying was taken aback to find the site she left the children in now deserted.

"Over here!" she heard Anji call before she saw the little girl popping out from thin air. "I set up a spell array with brother Mingshen in case you needed more time. It's good, isn't it?"

Sighing with relief, the Manchurian bodyguard smiled. It was a good spell array without flaws. If Anji had not called out to her, she would have believed they were kidnapped.

Apologised profusely for failing to find the fake doctor, Gu Ying noticed the crumbs on the side of Anji's mouth. The children must have eaten some snacks while she was gone. However, she had no heart to berate them for eating snacks so close to dinnertime. 

Stepping into the array, she soon realised that Anji and Mingshen were in the middle of playing Chinese chess. Anji wasn't a horrible chess player. However, she had a horrible poker face. It was probably why Mingshen was winning this round.
