Ban Xiu Qing Feng

Chapter 177 The Fish Was Poisoned

Bai Ruoqi said coldly, "You want to make me look bad? You should worry about yourself first."

Cao Xu was about to speak, but at this moment, his phone rang.

Upon hearing the urgent voice on the phone, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and almost collapsed onto the ground!

"You, what did you say? My family went bankrupt?!"

Hearing Cao Xu's words, Wu Tian felt extremely surprised and couldn't help but look at Bai Ruoqi.

Bai Ruoqi looked at Cao Xu coldly, her eyes revealing a strong sense of authority: "Hey, you're bankrupt now, what right do you have to pursue me?"

Cao Xu looked at Bai Ruoqi, trembled all over, and pointed at her, saying, "Could it be you?"

Bai Ruoqi didn't answer him and left directly with Wu Tian.

It wasn't until they had walked some distance that Wu Tian finally couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Ruoqi, what exactly is going on?"

"Did you cause his family's company to go bankrupt?"

Bai Ruoqi smiled again, a hint of playfulness flashing in her beautiful eyes: "What do you think?"

Wu Tian shook his head: "I really don't know."

He truly didn't know what had happened, but he knew in his heart that Bai Ruoqi's phone call and Cao Xu's family's bankruptcy were definitely related.

However, if Bai Ruoqi was indeed responsible, then her family's background would be truly extraordinary.

After all, even Tangren Catering or Shen's Group couldn't destroy a multi-billion dollar enterprise in mere seconds!

Wu Tian suddenly realized something: he knew absolutely nothing about Bai Ruoqi's family situation!

Although this girl studied in the county town during high school, she had disappeared without a trace afterward.

And from her conversation with Cao Xu, it was clear that her family should be from the capital.

With strong backing and being in the capital, it was obvious that Bai Ruoqi's family background was likely very unusual.

Seeing Wu Tian suddenly fall silent, Bai Ruoqi could basically guess his thoughts.

She couldn't help but smile and ask, "What's wrong, curious about who I am?"

"Although I wouldn't tell others, I can tell you if it's you."

Wu Tian thought for a moment and shook his head: "Let's forget it. It's obvious you're not simple."

"It's better for me to know less, to avoid trouble."

Bai Ruoqi smiled: "You said it yourself. Alright then, I won't tell you for now. Let's see if you can guess it later."

Wu Tian smiled: "What are your plans? Are you staying here for a few days?"

Bai Ruoqi shook her head and said, "I plan to leave for a while, but don't worry, I'll be back soon, and then I won't leave."

"Not leaving?" Wu Tian asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Do you plan to live here long-term from now on?"

A hint of slyness appeared in Bai Ruoqi's smile: "I won't tell you this either. You'll know naturally later."

Wu Tian sized up Bai Ruoqi, always feeling that her return this time seemed a bit unusual.

But he didn't press further. After chatting for a while longer, they parted ways.

Wu Tian returned directly to the village.

Now, with Shen Guofu's help, the village road construction was progressing at a rapid pace, and it was expected to be fully open to traffic soon.

Wu Tian watched the workers building the road for a while and felt a bit bored, so he decided to go home and take a nap.

But at that moment, his phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Chen Xuan calling.

Chen Xuan was doing very well managing the premium crucian carp, so as soon as Wu Tian saw her call, he knew it must be about the carp. He quickly answered.

"Hello, Boss Chen," he said with a smile, "What can I do for you?"

He had intended to play a small joke on Chen Xuan, but to his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, an anxious voice came from the phone:

"Wu Tian, are you in the village? I need to see you urgently!"

Hearing this, Wu Tian knew something had happened and immediately straightened his attitude, saying in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Chen Xuan said urgently, "Something happened to the fish pond!"

"If you're in the village, hurry over. I don't know what to do right now!"

Chen Xuan's voice was tinged with tears, and Wu Tian's heart sank.

Something happened to the fish pond?

That was the fish pond he had modified with spiritual energy. How could something happen?

Without further thought, Wu Tian agreed and rushed to Chen Xuan's location.

"Chen Xuan, what happened to the fish pond?" he asked immediately after finding her.

Chen Xuan's face was full of panic. She pointed to the fish pond and said, "Look quickly, what's going on!"

Wu Tian looked at the fish pond and was instantly stunned!

He saw that the fish pond was filled with dense schools of premium crucian carp!

Just by looking, it was evident that all the crucian carp in the pond had died!

"What happened?"

Wu Tian's expression also became extremely solemn. "How did the crucian carp all die for no reason?"

Chen Xuan was almost crying, her face a picture of misery. "I don't know either!"

"I was supposed to deliver the goods today, but when I came to look, all the crucian carp were like this!"

Wu Tian said, "Don't panic. Let me see what's going on."

With that, Wu Tian squatted down, picked up a crucian carp, and then activated his clairvoyance to observe the carp's condition.

Following that, his eyes darkened.

"No, there must be something wrong," he said in a deep voice. "These crucian carp were clearly poisoned to death!"

"Ah?!" Chen Xuan couldn't believe her ears. "Poisoned to death? That shouldn't be!"

"I've always used the same fish feed. How could they be poisoned?"

Wu Tian stood up, his gaze fixed on the crucian carp, and said, "There's only one possibility: the fish pond must have been poisoned, which is why these crucian carp died."

Chen Xuan was shocked, then said with disbelief, "No way, who would do such a wicked thing? Could it be someone from our village?"

Wu Tian shook his head: "I don't know about that, but think carefully, have you seen anyone suspicious recently?"

"Suspicious people?" Chen Xuan thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No, as far as I remember, I haven't seen anyone like that."

Wu Tian pondered: "Then there's a problem. Who would do such a thing?"

Chen Xuan asked, "Wu Tian, what should we do now? The fish are all poisoned, and we can't supply the goods!"

Wu Tian said, "Don't worry about that. Tell Tangren Catering about the situation and postpone the supply for two days."
