Zhu Chengxin's family members woke up one after another, and Zhang Ming also brought people over. They were fully armed and wrapped tightly.

After understanding the basic situation with Su Chen and the others, he quickly went into the ward to understand the situation.

Su Chen glanced at Wang Haitao doubtfully, and the latter waved his hands repeatedly: "It wasn't me who notified you."

Zheng Heng explained, "Master Su, I was the one who reported the Exorcism Team."

"This situation is very strange. I suspect it's a special tactic from the southwest."

When Wang Haitao heard they were from the southwest, he instinctively shrank his neck. "Why are they from there again? The people over there are really treacherous."

He was hit twice, and if Su Chen hadn't been there, he would have died.

After thinking about it, Wang Haitao couldn't help but ask again: "Is it really not a poison?"

Zheng Heng shook his head.

"The Gu worms can move, but the mycelium didn't move when we were treating it just now. It just continued to grow."

"I kind of suspect this mushroom might be food for some kind of Gu."

Wang Haitao jumped up: "Isn't that still a Gu?"

"Didn't the Exorcism Team say they've already registered those in the southwest who can cast spells? Let's quickly investigate and find out who was sent to Cuicheng!"

"Damn it, I don't dare eat anything now unless I find out."

Dong Rongjin joked, "Not only are you afraid to eat, you're afraid to sleep too, right?"

"Are you different?"

"Why is it the same? I didn't provoke the witch."

The two were about to continue arguing when Su Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go have a midnight snack." He then looked at Wang Haitao and said, "Are you tired of that fish from before?"

"No, no, no, hehe, with you, Master Su, I won't worry about being poisoned. I guarantee I'll eat to my heart's content."

Su Chen led people over, and the stall was also full of people sitting outside.

Dong Rongjin shouted, walked over and chatted with the boss for a while, and a new table was added to a private room inside.

Wang Haitao gave a thumbs-up: "That's why they say Lao Dong is a local tyrant. His connections are really strong."

Dong Rongjin sneered, "Don't flatter me. You'll have to treat me later. My money doesn't come from the wind."

"Please, please, I'll treat you next time..."

Su Chen and Zhang Qian looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

After ordering the dishes, Su Chen looked at Zheng Heng: "Are you used to the food here?"

The latter had taken out a pack of wet wipes, wiped the table and chairs for a long time, and then started wiping the dishes.

Hearing this, he smiled at Su Chen and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter where we eat."

"This is... my professional habit."

While waiting for the food to be served, they couldn't help but talk about the experiences of the Zhu family of nine.

"I've never seen that mushroom before. If it's really used to raise Gu, I'm afraid the Gu woman just randomly picked a household to raise it." Zhang Qian sighed. "I heard that the Gu women in the south are all very solitary and extreme. In their eyes, the lives of Gu insects are more precious than human lives."

Zheng Heng nodded. "The Exorcist Team had a case before. A child from the village took out a Gu worm that a Gu woman had kept at home and tortured it half to death. The Gu woman went crazy and destroyed all the children in the village."

"So, if you ask me, these lunatics shouldn't be released!" Wang Haitao said angrily. "They were so secretive when they cast the spell. You don't even know when you'll be affected. I'm only grateful to Master Su for what happened today!"

Seeing that Zhang Qian and Zheng Heng were curious, Wang Haitao asked Su Chen to take out the insect, and several people gathered around to observe it carefully.

Zhang Qian shook his head: "I've never seen this kind of Gu before."

Zheng Heng smiled bitterly, "There's a wide variety of insects in the southwest. I've only seen a few common ones in the Exorcism Team."

Su Chen put the thing away again, his face indifferent: "It can get into the brain and slightly control people's thoughts. It's hard to say whether it can completely control people and turn them into puppets in the future."

Wang Haitao suddenly shuddered.

Dong Rongjin joked, "Old Wang, I'm afraid you'll be afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once."

"Nonsense, I definitely won't go to Southwest China in the future anyway."

Wang Haitao said, glancing at Su Chen again: "Of course, if Master Su Tian goes, I can follow."

"Who wants you to go?"

……

The grilled fish came and Lin Jingyu also came.

Seeing him, Wang Haitao quickly made room for him and asked the waiter to bring him another set of bowls and chopsticks.

Su Chen was curious: "Brother Yu, why are you here?"

"They said a new fungus was discovered here. Professor Gao called me to inquire about it, so I called Professor Li and Professor Niu to come over."

Zhang Qian asked hurriedly, "Do you know what it is? Is it a species from the southwest?"

Lin Jingyu shook his head.

"It hasn't been identified yet. It's probably a species that hasn't been discovered before. Professor Li thinks it's a species found in the tropical rainforest."

"Rainforest?"

"Well, because it grows too fast..." Lin Jingyu explained for a while and looked at Su Chen, "When I left, I heard them say that they had gone to the Zhu family to disinfect it. I hope no spores fell."

"Steamed buns?" Wang Haitao blinked blankly. "No, why are you talking about steamed buns for no reason? Did they get infected by eating steamed buns?"

Lin Jingyu: “…”

He took a deep breath and raised the corners of his mouth. "Fungi usually reproduce through spores. These spores are not the meat and cabbage buns we eat, but a kind of reproductive cell."

Wang Haitao laughed dryly: "Haha, intellectuals are indeed different. I am just like listening to heavenly books."

Dong Rongjin coughed and said, "So someone brought it in from abroad?"

Lin Jingyu nodded: "It should be."

He picked up a shrimp and peeled it slowly. "There are many unknown and unique species in the tropical rainforest. Customs has always been trying to prevent these foreign species from entering, but this unknown species of fungus is unlikely to be found at the moment."

"Professor Li and his team are planning to take it back to the lab for careful study. I've already warned them to be careful."

Then he asked Su Chen: "Are you going to attend the Chen family's full moon banquet tomorrow?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had promised Huang Mingzhu before.

I forgot to prepare a gift.

"Dinner?" he asked.

"Well, I'm going to discuss something with Boss Chen. Want to join me?"

"it is good."

After the matter was settled, Qian Mingfeng knocked on the door and came in with a girl in his arms.

"Master Xiao Su, I heard you were here so I brought my partner over to see you."

"Qiqi, this is Master Xiao Su, the most powerful master in our Cuicheng. He is completely different from those fake masters on the street."

Both of them held wine glasses in their hands.

Su Chen bumped into them, looked at Fang Qiqi carefully, and smiled at Qian Mingfeng: "What are you busy with recently?"

"I'm just busy doing nothing. I haven't settled down yet. I'm just trying to earn some living expenses."

"By the way, you told my husband about this, right? He's no longer urging me to find a partner, he's urging me to get married~"

Su Chen drank up the wine: "Are you still afraid of being urged to get married?"

"I'm afraid. I haven't had enough fun yet, and neither has Qiqi. We don't plan to get married so soon. You don't know, once we get married, they'll start pushing for kids."

"That's true." Dong Rongjin nodded. "Don't have children carelessly these days, or you might give birth to someone who resents you."

Everyone: "..."

Qian Mingfeng also knew about what was going on at Old Dong's house. He laughed dryly and stepped back: "Then you guys continue eating. Qiqi and I will be leaving first."

After closing the door, everyone picked up their food in silence.

Finally, Wang Haitao squeaked, "Master Su, what's going on this afternoon?"
