"able!"

Zhang Xinglin said with considerable confidence:

"My Zhang family is a family of doctors with hundreds of years of tradition. If we have enough materials, we can refine the Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill, let alone distinguish the real from the fake."

Wu Chengze nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

Being able to distinguish between real and fake is enough.

He then looked at Wu Yi'an.

Wu Yi'an chuckled dryly: "Patriarch, I really can't guarantee that. If I had that much ability, we wouldn't need to invite Zhang Xinglin to the family."

There are countless extraordinary people in this world.

What if I'm wrong?

If Wu Yushu were to suffer any serious health problems from eating this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

To err is to err is to err.

Even if Wu Chengze looks down on him, he won't take the risk.

Wu Chengze snorted upon hearing this, clearly somewhat dissatisfied with him.

Zhang Xinglin noticed something amiss from Wu Yi'an's behavior and realized that she had spoken too confidently. She secretly cursed herself for being a fool and reminded herself to be more careful in this matter.

……

The villa area where Chen Huo lives now has a very high level of security.

Under pressure from the Goddess Pavilion and the authorities, the property management company of the villa area hired a large number of security guards from a professional security company to increase patrols in the villa area.

The area surrounding Chen Huo's villa is of paramount importance.

In addition, a large number of cameras were added.

Besides the security company personnel, there were also people from the Goddess Pavilion keeping an eye on Chen Huo's villa, both openly and secretly. Their duty was not to protect Chen Huo, but to ensure that he was not disturbed by ordinary people.

The property management company has electric low-speed patrol vehicles, and security personnel patrol in groups of four.

A patrol car is currently driving past Chen Huo's villa on the road.

All four security guards looked at the villa, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"Have you heard? The owner of this villa once broke open the door of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class with his bare hands, survived a grenade explosion, and turned an assassin to pieces!"

"Come on, it's not as far-fetched as you make it out to be. But the male homeowner did encounter assassins, and more than once. Apparently, assassins even went to the villa."

"Yes, yes, yes, men in black have also brought people out of this villa before. I happened to see them one of those days!"

"Really? You guys are making it sound too far-fetched," one of the security guards, a tall man in his thirties, said, somewhat skeptical.

As he spoke, he unscrewed the lid of his thermos, intending to drink some water.

As a result, his hand slipped and the thermos fell down.

"Stop the car, I dropped my cup."

The burly security guard jumped out of the patrol car, saw the goji berry tea spilled all over the floor, and sighed, "It's such a waste, we haven't even had a sip yet."

He picked up the cup, jumped into the patrol car, and continued the conversation.

"Are you kidding me because I'm new here? What you're saying is more and more outrageous than the last."

The heated discussion resumed.

None of the security guards noticed the goji berry water spilled on the ground.

The people from the Goddess Pavilion who were watching the villa openly and secretly didn't take the puddle of water seriously, because it was more than ten meters away from the outer wall of the detached villa where Chen Huo was located.

However, if someone squats down in front of the water stains and examines it closely, they will find that there are countless, almost imperceptible, translucent insects in the water, crawling towards the villa where Chen Huo was located.

They quickly climbed over the paved road, entered the green belt, and disappeared completely. The puddle of water dried quickly, leaving only a dozen or so goji berries, which were soon swept clean by the cleaning staff.

It was as if nothing had ever happened here.

These insects were far more energetic than imagined. They quickly squeezed through the cracks in the villa's outer wall and entered the villa, swarming towards the buildings inside, with a very clear purpose.

It was as if someone was manipulating it.

After a while.

A minivan drove up and stopped in front of the villa.

A person got out of the passenger seat and quickly opened the middle door.

Chen Huo, Yu Ji, and Gong Jinghan got out of the car and headed towards the villa.

"You brat, so you've already finished what you needed to do in Jinzhou?" Gong Jinghan glanced at Chen Huo and asked.

On the way here, she asked Chen Huo about his next plans.

As a result, Chen Huo told her that he didn't have any plans for the future and would just cultivate in this villa. Gong Jinghan immediately realized that Chen Huo had finished everything he needed to do here.

I suppose I'll stay here to try and completely cure my illness.

This made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

After all, she is an elder.

Chen Huo could easily see through her thoughts, and chuckled, "With an expert like Granny Gong guiding me, wouldn't I seize the opportunity to cultivate diligently? Besides, I really don't have anything else to do right now."

Yu Ji also wanted to spend time with Chen Huo, so she hugged Gong Jinghan's arm and said, "Grandma Gong, aren't you happy to have us with you?"

"Happy, happy!"

Gong Jinghan laughed heartily and entered the villa with Chen Huo and his two companions.

Everything outside the walled area is public space.

Inside the monitoring room of the villa area.

The security guard who had just dropped his thermos and spilled the water saw Chen Huo and the others go inside on the security camera footage. He raised his wrist to check the time and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

But it quickly went into hiding.

……

Inside the villa.

Chen Huo and the other two were chatting in the living room.

The servants made them hot tea and washed some seasonal fruit.

The chef was busy preparing the dishes.

About two hours later.

With four cold and four hot dishes, including both meat and vegetables, the meal is ready.

Chen Huo and his two companions went to a restaurant to eat.

Gong Jinghan had recently developed a great appetite, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to start eating heartily. Chen Huo smiled slightly, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating as well. Yu Ji only started eating after he started eating.

Chen Huo first ate hot dishes.

When he ate the cold dishes, and put a piece of cold-dressed Chinese cabbage in his mouth, his face suddenly darkened, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes, which both Gong Jinghan and Yu Ji noticed.

"Young Master, is there something wrong with this dish?"

Gong Jinghan, being a seasoned veteran, immediately made a judgment based on Chen Huo's actions and expressions. His eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty; he couldn't detect anything wrong with the food.

Without even thinking, Yu Ji shook her head.

"Impossible. With my young master here, if someone were to poison the food, it would be impossible to hide it from him."

Gong Jinghan also felt that Yu Ji's words made sense.

But if it wasn't a problem with the food, then what could it be?

Yu Ji asked, "Young Master, what exactly went wrong?"

"It is indeed food."

Chen Huo said calmly.

Yu Ji was stunned when she heard this, wondering if the young master really hadn't noticed that the food was poisoned.

If it's poisonous, why don't I have any reaction?

The servants in the villa were all sent by the Goddess Pavilion. Could it be that someone has been bribed?

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Yu Ji's mind.

Chen Huo's next words sent chills down her spine.

"Do you know about the black magic in Southeast Asia? There were some insects called blood lice in the cold dish we just ate. We've been cursed with this insect-eating spell. Soon our internal organs will be eaten away, and we'll die from rotting flesh all over our bodies."
