Qiao Wanwan watched the dashcam footage and the miniature camera installed in her car simultaneously from home, thus gaining a comprehensive view of Jiang Nan's every move.

When Zhan Jingting returned home, his face was dark, and he was very unhappy.

Qiao Wanwan thought about it carefully and realized that it must be because Jiang Nan had touched his face in the car just now.

As soon as Zhan Jingting returned to his room, he went to the bathroom and took a long time to shower before coming out.

Qiao Wanwan stepped forward eagerly and said, "Jingting, let me help you blow-dry your hair."

"Need not."

"Don't be angry. I've made a major discovery, haven't I? It wasn't for nothing that you acted as bait for me."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then tell me, what major discovery have you made, hmm?"

“My guess was right. The mastermind put the Gu worm into Jiang Nan’s body and manipulated him to kill us both with poison.” Qiao Wanwan took out her phone and showed him the video. “This is the footage of Jiang Nan and me in the car. Notice his hand. He touched something in front of him. I guess he was touching the necklace, but the necklace wasn’t on him at the time, so he changed it to strangling me.”

“Today I put the necklace back on him, and he forced the poison from the necklace into your mouth. This is how the mastermind trained him. When the Gu worms controlled him, he was completely unconscious and had no idea what he was doing, so Jiangnan did not betray you.”

Zhan Jingting didn't say anything.

“Jingting, it’s good that the matter has been investigated. For the sake of Jiangnan, who is also a victim, please forgive him.” Qiao Wanwan held his hand. “If it weren’t for us, he wouldn’t have fallen into the hands of the mastermind and suffered all this.”

That's not what I'm worried about right now.

"Then what are you worried about?"

“Wutong Bay has a comprehensive security system. Let me put it this way, even in war, we can defend ourselves. Besides me, only Jiangdong and Jiangnan know about the deployment of this system.” Zhan Jingting looked at her. “According to you, Jiangnan has already been controlled by the mastermind using Gu worms. He can kill me, let alone others. I suspect that our security system has been taken over by the mastermind. Once he takes control, if he uses a large number of people and drones to attack, we will be on the defensive.”

"So what should we do now?"

"Regardless of whether my guess is true or not, I will improve the security system to ensure the safety of Wutong Bay."

"Okay." Qiao Wanwan asked, "Is this matter particularly difficult?"

"It's not a matter of difficulty, it's a matter of time and energy." Zhan Jingting touched her cheek. "Let's not delay, I'll go now, call me if you need anything."

"good."

......

Qiao Wanwan arrived at Jiang Nan's room, where he was still unconscious.

"Wanwan, you've arrived." The Ghost Hand Doctor had just finished taking his pulse. "Jiangnan's pulse is relatively stable, so you don't need to worry."

"Thank you, Master."

"What are your plans next? Are you going to deal with the Gu worms?"

Qiao Wanwan sat down on the sofa. "Master, I suspect that the Gu worms are controlled by sound."

"You've found evidence?"

“No, the sounds recorded by the dashcam are too complex to identify which voice is controlling it. But think about it, why didn’t Jiangnan poison Jingting immediately after returning? Why did the Gu worms start acting up as soon as we left Wutong Bay?” Qiao Wanwan analyzed. “So I suspect that because Wutong Bay is too big, the person controlling the Gu worms couldn’t transmit their voices into Wutong Bay, which is why Jiangnan didn’t lose control. And after leaving Wutong Bay, the person controlling them must have been following us, which is why they were able to control the Gu worms.”

The Ghost Hand Doctor nodded. "That makes sense, but it's hard to verify, let alone find the person behind it all through this clue."

“Yes, the most urgent task now is not to find the person behind it, but to save Jiang Nan.” Qiao Wanwan frowned and said, “I have looked up medical books. This kind of Gu worm that can be controlled by humans is very ferocious. It is lurking in Jiang Nan’s brain and uses brain fluid as a nutrient. While absorbing brain fluid, it releases an anesthetic, so Jiang Nan will not feel anything unusual.”

"So, are we going to remove the Gu worms now?"

Qiao Wanwan frowned and gently shook her head. "According to medical knowledge, removing this kind of Gu worm could very likely endanger the host's life, especially since the Gu worm is in Jiang Nan's brain. If he is not careful, it could damage his brain nerves, and the consequences would be unimaginable."

"So what should we do now?"

“Removing the Gu worm through surgery is the safest option for Jiangnan,” Qiao Wanwan said. “But the Gu worm can move, so in order to remove it accurately, it must be anesthetized first.”

The Ghostly Doctor pondered, "It won't be easy to develop an anesthetic that targets Gu worms without harming Jiangnan."

“This concerns Jiangnan’s life, we must try no matter what,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Master, there’s no time to lose, I’ll go and investigate now, you keep an eye on Jiangnan.”

"Okay, you don't need to worry about this."

......

Zhan Jingting and Qiao Wanwan were engrossed in their studies in their respective studies, so much so that they didn't even have time to come downstairs for meals, which were brought by Zheng Ma.

The man, busy at his computer, took a moment to ask, "How's Wanwan doing?"

Zheng Ma nodded and said, "Replying to Master Zhan, I just delivered the meal to Madam. She is still studying it, but she specifically told me to prepare more soup for you, saying that the weather is dry and you need to drink more soup and water."

"Okay, take good care of her."

"Don't worry, Master Zhan."

Qiao Wanwan studied until late at night, and couldn't help but yawn. Seeing that it was already 2 a.m., she tidied up the things on the table and went to Zhan Jingting's study.
