Su Xin hated the person who poisoned her with insects. Once she found him, she would make him pay.
She quickly tidied up her messy hair and makeup.
She immediately called her boyfriend and told him in a harsh tone to come over right away.
Su Xin directly called her boyfriend, Sun Xiao, to her office.
Sun Xiao heard that Su Xin sounded very angry and still wanted him to come to her office to meet her.
All the way there, I kept thinking about what I had done to upset her, and I felt a little uneasy.
Lin Yang also made time to go to Su Xin's office.
Sun Xiao is tall and thin, wearing black-rimmed glasses and dressed quite stylishly.
Sun Xin gave the two a brief introduction, but didn't give Sun Xiao a friendly look.
Sun Xiao was confused and didn't know why Su Xin had introduced Lin Yang to her.
Lin Yang briefly asked Sun Xiao about his basic situation studying abroad.
It turns out that Sun Xiao is indeed, as he himself said, just an ordinary, even somewhat miserable, international student.
Moreover, after returning to China, he devoted himself to reuniting with Su Xin and finding a job.
Lin Yang stopped beating around the bush and asked Sun Xiao directly if she knew about Sun Xin having worms transplanted into her.
Sun Xiao was even more confused; he didn't know what kind of insect it was or where it came from.
"Dr. Lin, I really don't know anything."
“Xin Xin and I have always had a good relationship, and I have no reason to harm Xin Xin.”
Su Xin had recovered from the shock of the insects.
Looking at Sun Xiao's silly but sincere appearance, she realized that her boyfriend wasn't very smart either.
He was sent abroad by his parents because he failed to get into university due to poor grades.
He certainly doesn't know something as profound as Gu magic.
"I don't believe you would harm me."
Sun Xin finally gave Sun Xiao an approving look.
Sun Xiao then realized that Sun Xin was angry because she suspected that she had used a spell on her.
He immediately jumped up, ready to swear an oath to the heavens.
"Xin Xin, I really didn't mean to hurt you. I swear to God I didn't do it."
"Okay, okay, I know it wasn't you."
Su Xin gently hugged him and comforted him as he sat back down.
Lin Yang could tell that Sun Xiao really didn't know about the Gu worms, but he still pointed it out seriously.
“I also believe you wouldn’t harm Su Xin, but the worms in her body came from abroad, so it’s probably still related to you.”
"Think about it carefully again, is there any detail you've overlooked?"
To prove her innocence, Sun Xiao rolled her eyes rapidly.
"Oh, right! The owner of the bar we frequent is also someone who came back from abroad."
Because they had all lived abroad for a period of time, the bar owner was very welcoming to them, the international students, and always gave them drinks, so they frequented the bar.
The bar owner was all smiles but also very mysterious, never talking about himself.
Other international students said that the bar owner was rather secretive when he was abroad.
No one could find out anything about the boss's background.
This sounded suspicious enough, so Lin Yang naturally wouldn't let this clue go and quickly pressed for more information.
What's the name of this bar?
Sun Xiaogang said the first character of the bar's name, "Black..."
Lin Yang's phone rang at an inopportune moment.
Lin Yang originally intended to hang up immediately, but seeing that it was A Fei calling, he apologetically asked Sun Xiao to wait a moment.
On the other end of the phone, Afei excitedly told him about how he and Chen Zhuan had been asking around and contacting the friends who had gone to the bar with Chen Zhuan that day.
I finally managed to contact a few friends to go with me, but they all randomly picked bars and got drunk, so no one paid attention to the bar's name.
Luckily, a friend arrived a little later and I got their location from them.
The friend went through the chat history and finally found the location.
Afei was eager to show off his achievements to Lin Yang, so he shouted loudly on the phone.
Even Sun Xiao and Su Xin, who were standing nearby, could clearly hear what he said.
Ah Fei spoke too hastily, and Lin Yang didn't have time to get far. He could only helplessly give Su Xin and Sun Xiao an apologetic look.
Sun Xiao and Su Xin smiled and responded, not really caring.
At the crucial moment, Afei's voice rang out clearly among the three quiet people.
"That bar is called the Black Bar!"
Upon hearing the name of the bar, Lin Yang realized that it was probably the same bar that Sun Xiao hadn't finished mentioning.
As expected, Sun Xiao's expression changed drastically upon hearing this name. He pointed anxiously, as if trying to say something.
“Ah Fei, don’t make any rash moves yet. I have some leads on my end, and I’ll contact you later.”
Lin Yang quickly made arrangements for A Fei and hung up the phone.
"What I'm talking about is also the Black Bar!"
Sun Xiao immediately finished speaking, realizing that even his usually lazy brain was far more complicated than he had imagined.
"It seems this 'black bar' has something going on. Do you recall anything else about the bar owner?"
Finally, some things were connected, and Lin Yang finally began to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Sun Xiao recalled that the bar owner was short, slightly overweight, and had a noticeable scar on his face.
He usually wears all black clothes, giving people a gloomy feeling.
He also saw the owner secretly chatting with some strangers in the back alley of the bar on several occasions.
Lin Yang wrote down all this information. The worms in Su Xin and Chen Zhuan's bodies should be the first thing the bar owner did.
Lin Yang guessed that he must have put this kind of Gu worm in the guests' drinks, and the guests would become addicted to alcohol after drinking it.
This would make his bar business thrive and allow him to make a fortune.
Chen Zhuan's later irritability and anger were probably also caused by this insect.
It's just unknown whether this Gu worm is the same as the one in the old hero's story, or if there's any connection between them.
It seems necessary to go to this shady bar and have a proper meeting with the bar owner.
Before that, Lin Yang also took Sun Xiao's pulse to confirm whether he had been transplanted with worms.
Strangely, apart from being a little weak, he didn't have any worms in his body.
Sun Xiao could only offer an embarrassed explanation.
It turns out that he is actually allergic to alcohol and never really drinks. Every time he drinks with his friends, he secretly pours it out.
That's how they escaped a disaster.
However, Su Xin, who had just received the transplanted worms because of him, was still angry and insisted that Lin Yang give her a few injections.
"I don't have any worms in my body, so I don't need to."
"That's the safest way. You've drunk water from that bar before, haven't you? What if the worms in your body haven't grown up yet?"
Su Xin pressed Sun Xiao down threateningly, preventing him from moving.
There was no need for that. Seeing her dark expression, Sun Xiao didn't dare to move.
Lin Yang found their interaction quite amusing, so he symbolically gave Sun Xiao a few acupuncture needles to treat her qi deficiency.
He deliberately stabbed her a little deeper, causing Sun Xiao to scream in pain several times.
