As a businessman, Lin Qiumo naturally understood what Shi Lei meant. After receiving the call, she quickly started to prepare.

And at this time, Tong Xiaoxiao had even more of a admiration towards Shi Lei, for her performance on the program.

After enjoying Tong Xiaoxiao's praise for a few minutes, Shi Lei finally remembered what he should do right now. He looked at the old man and asked: "How do you feel now?"

The little bug that he took out from the old man's body was still being kept in a sealed container. To prevent any accidents, Shi Lei had even used a lot of protective measures.

Now that the old man was awake, it was time to find out the truth.

"I feel much better now. Thank you so much for saving my life."

After saying this, the old man was prepared to kneel on the ground and kowtow in thanks.

Shi Lei felt a little guilty. He hurriedly helped him up and smiled as he said: "You have ruined my life. You are too young, so it's not good, and it's not good at all. Besides, all of these are things that you should do."

The old man could not force Shi Lei, so he sat down on the sofa again, looked at Shi Lei and said: "If it wasn't for you, Mr. Shi, I'm afraid I would have died on the spot."

"How did you appear there? Who was the one who planted the Gu? Do you still remember anything about it?"

Finally, he shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure either, but I met a couple before on the road. The clothes they wore were quite strange, so I looked at them a little more, but nowadays, there are a lot of children who wear these clothes."

The old man chuckled. Indeed, there were a lot of things happening in cosplay now, but these two couples who could get the old man's attention were definitely not ordinary people.

"They were wearing the clothes for Miao Boundary, and when they saw me looking at them, their faces revealed a slight smile. They came over and talked to me for a bit, then asked me how to get to the nearby exhibition center, so I told them about it."

The old man said with doubt, "At that time, I didn't feel anything was wrong, but when I was preparing for work, I discovered that something was wrong with my body. I started running all over the place unconsciously, and gradually lost consciousness until I saw you."

He was extremely moved. If Shi Lei had not appeared there in time, he might really have lost his life.

Although he could not hear any important information, Shi Lei could still hear quite a few things from these words.

From the looks of it, even if they did not know the identities of these two people, those who knew Miao Boundary and Gu arts were already here, and there was no guarantee that they would do anything.

The moment he thought of this, Shi Lei's brows creased into a frown.

The situation seemed to be getting serious.

However, the most important thing right now was to send the old man back. Just as Shi Lei was about to ask the old man where he lived, he saw that the door to the room had already been opened and the old man's figure slowly disappeared into the corridor.

The old man's actions looked very strange. Tong Xiaoxiao walked over to Shi Lei and asked: "Has the old man left?"

"Hmm, he didn't tell me that he left while I was lost in thought."

"What was the Miao Boundary Gu technique you talked about earlier? Don't tell me that it doesn't exist in novels, and it does exist."

Tong Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, and said to Shi Lei.

"Xiaoxiao, you have to remember that there are a lot of things in this world that you don't know about. They all sound inconceivable, but they are all real, so you have to focus fully on it, do you understand?"

Shi Lei said without reason.

"Oh, I understand. But do you need to tell the higher-ups about this?"

Shi Lei thought about it. Looking at the night scenery outside the window, his mind was in a mess.

If what the old man said was true, then the situation was very serious. However, if what the old man said was false, then once he told the truth, then the social panic caused would definitely not be a simple matter.

There seemed to be a lot of clues in this matter, but Shi Lei was still unable to find the most direct way.

The words that the old man said earlier, always felt that there were a lot of loopholes. Regardless of whether it was the scene he met with the two Miao Boundary people or the scene where he was infected with the parasite afterwards, they were all passed over in a simple manner.

If this old man's identity was simple, then why did he appear in that top international store?

It didn't seem to make sense.

Seeing Shi Lei's conflicted face, Tong Xiaoxiao knew that this was not the time to give Shi Lei pressure, so she pulled Shi Lei and said: "Let's go, did you not eat after the recording of the program? In order to celebrate your success today, I'll treat you to dinner tonight so that we can have a good meal! "

Right now, it was already around two in the morning. Even though it was already deep in the morning, this was still a place with Jiangling after all.

After going downstairs to eat some crayfish and skewers, Shi Lei's mood had finally become a lot more relaxed due to the delicacies.

Tong Xiaoxiao looked at Shi Lei and said: "Is this Miao Boundary's Gu technique really that powerful? From the looks of it, you seem to be very serious."

Shi Lei didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Tong Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, have you seen the scene in the novels? Those who have been infected by the parasites all have no antidote, this is the malice of the Miao Boundary, they raise their parasites to achieve their own goals, imagine this scene."

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Tong Xiaoxiao closed his eyes and started to imagine. A few seconds later, she suddenly opened his eyes and dropped the little lobsters in her hands to the ground.

"If it wasn't for the timely encounter I had that day and the things I brought with me, I would have taken back the old man's life. Otherwise …"

Shi Lei felt terrified just thinking about it.

By the time the two were about to eat, it was already almost four. After a simple cleaning up, Shi Lei planned to directly return to his room and pack up. On the second day, he would have enough energy to investigate the matter of the Miao Boundary and parasite techniques.

With Lin Qiumo, the assistant guild leader, watching them from the side, nothing bad would happen. Since the office was still being renovated, everything was in the process of being prepared, which was when Shi Lei had time to investigate.

"Brother Shi, who do you think that person is?"

Tong Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted out in shock, as if she had seen some incredible person, and pointed to a place not too far away and spoke with all her might.

At first, Shi Lei thought that it was a prank from Tong Xiaoxiao, but when he looked over, he found someone that he was very familiar with.

Li Tongxi!
