"Brother Lin Tian, how do you find this red wine? These wines were personally provided by Jin Lisi," Li Wenfeng asked with a smile.

Jin Lisi? Lin Tian frowned. The red wine was actually provided by Jin Lisi; however, even if he provided it, it can't be concluded that he tampered with it.

After a few thoughts, Lin Tian pretended to hold his stomach and said, "Mr. Li, my stomach feels uncomfortable, please excuse me for a moment."

Li Wenfeng gestured lightly and said, "Brother Lin Tian, please go ahead."

Lin Tian put down his wine glass and quickly walked outside. Once outside the door, he turned in the direction toward the back of the hall. At the end of the corridor, he finally saw the middle-aged waiter from earlier.

The reason for pretending his stomach was uncomfortable was to follow this waiter, as he was the one who served the wine earlier. The waiter opened a door and was about to walk in when Lin Tian suddenly appeared behind him and pushed him inside forcefully, then closed the door.

"Sir, why are you pushing me?" the man said unhappily.

"Why am I pushing you? You know deep down, hand over the red wine," Lin Tian stared at him coldly and said.

The man shivered under Lin Tian's gaze but still said innocently, "I don't understand what you're talking about. If you need red wine, you can wait in the main hall. Why come here to look for it?"

"People have to suffer a bit to become honest," Lin Tian sneered, suddenly reaching out. He grabbed the man's neck, making it impossible for him to resist or call out.

Lin Tian flicked his wrist, and a golden thread flew out like a spirit snake, accurately piercing the man's body. Lin Tian wasn't striking randomly but was targeting acupuncture points. Acupuncture can save people or kill them.

Of course, Lin Tian didn't intend to kill him, just to add some pain. Different acupuncture techniques produce different effects, and Lin Tian just gave a slight flick to the golden thread, making the man's eyes widen instantly.

A sharp pain suddenly engulfed his entire body, but with his throat being held, he could only produce "huh huh" sounds, relentlessly struggling with his hands and feet.

Lin Tian pulled out the golden thread and threw the middle-aged man to the floor. The man gasped for air, with sweat dripping like beans from his forehead.

"Think carefully before answering my question," Lin Tian said coldly, twirling the golden thread in front of the man's eyes.

"The... the red wine is gone, there were only those two glasses," the middle-aged man stammered.

"Who asked you to do this?" Lin Tian asked again.

"I don't know either. A man in a black robe gave me two glasses of red wine and told me to serve them to you. At the time, his face was covered by a hood, making it impossible to see clearly. If I knew there was something wrong with the wine, no amount of money would have convinced me," the middle-aged man said cautiously.

"Where did he give you the red wine?" Lin Tian asked in a deep voice.

"Outside, in the corridor. He said that the two glasses were specially ordered by guests Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue and must be delivered to them. But I said I didn't know what the guests looked like. The man in the black robe then said, 'It's the ones chatting with Mr. Li, the host of the banquet.' I recognize Mr. Li, so I delivered them to you," the middle-aged man quickly responded.

"Sir, you must believe me. I lost money gambling and owe quite a bit. I heard they were hiring temporary waiters here, so I came. And that black-robed man gave me a huge sum of money, enough to pay off my debts. I thought this was the Knight Academy, so nothing could go wrong, and that's why I agreed to his request," the middle-aged man observed Lin Tian's expression and said in a small voice.

The man's speech was fast, but Lin Tian understood. He was just a gambling addict, tempted by money and bought off by someone.

However, Lin Tian still held the golden thread, slowly passing it across his forehead to intimidate him further, hoping to extract useful information. Suddenly, a pungent urine smell filled the room. Upon looking at the middle-aged man, his pants were soaked, with liquid dripping down, wetting a large area of the floor.

The middle-aged man was so scared he urinated himself. Lin Tian retracted the golden thread, worried about getting contaminated by the stench.

"Damn you, get out of here!" Lin Tian cursed.

The middle-aged man, feeling as if granted amnesty, scrambled away like a lost soul. The room was filled with the stench of urine, making Lin Tian leave swiftly as well.

Originally thinking he could get some information, Lin Tian realized the inquiry yielded nothing and almost ended up drenched in the stench. The middle-aged man was scared out of his wits, so he likely wasn't lying. He was just being used, but it was clear the person behind it was very cautious, never leaving any trace.

Returning to the main hall, Xiao Manxue and Zhu Li were still seated there, but Li Wenfeng had moved to another group. It seemed he had grown tired of trying to gain favor from Miss, so he tactfully left.

"Lin Tian, how did it go?" Xiao Manxue asked hurriedly as soon as he sat down.

"Let's talk after we leave here," Lin Tian replied.

"We've been wanting to leave for a while now. When you left, so many people tried to cozy up to us. They couldn't buy your points, so they turned their attention to me and my senior sister," Zhu Li said, very displeased.

When Lin Tian's trio left, they drew everyone's attention. With Lin Tian leaving, the banquet was largely a failure, since the most points were in their hands. After exchanging the Hua Ying Sword, their stock was zero.

After Lin Tian left, Li Wenfeng put down his wine glass and went to the backstage office, accompanied by a young man.

"Young Master, Lin Tian caught that man just now," the young man reported.

"Did he get anything out of him?" Li Wenfeng's voice was calm despite his question.

"Rest assured, young master. I had this matter arranged by someone, so no matter how it's traced, it won't lead back to us," the young man replied confidently, smiling.

"Xiao Fu, you did very well this time. They drank the blood agent, which might take effect tomorrow. When they wake up to find themselves turned into monsters, the entire world will change. This should be quite a show. A show can't go without an audience. You go notify Carter to find Lin Tian early tomorrow. Let grievances be resolved in kind," Li Wenfeng said with a light smile.

"Carter, that useless fool, is always hanging around the gates of the Female College. He's no match for Lin Tian," Xiao Fu commented with doubt.

"Carter has been humiliated by Lin Tian several times and has long harbored deep resentment. Sending him is just to cause a scene. Whether he's a match for Lin Tian is insignificant. Even if Lin Tian kills him, the world loses no more than a waste of space," Li Wenfeng said, expressionless, uttering ruthless words.

To him, the life of a pawn was of less importance than a dog.

At the Female College, Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue had already arrived under the dormitory, and Xiao Manxue couldn't help but ask again, "Now that there's no one else around, can you tell us?"
