"I will use my qi to purify the toxicity in the water later, and then we can resume normal fish farming," Wu Tian said.
"However..." he trailed off, a worried expression returning to his face.
"If we can't find the person who poisoned it, we might encounter this situation again in the future..."
Chen Xuan asked, puzzled, "I still can't understand why someone would suddenly poison us."
"What is their purpose in doing this?"
Wu Tian said gravely, "You don't need to worry about that for now. Just do as I say."
"From today onwards, I will guard this place at all times. If that person dares to come and poison it again, I will catch them the moment they appear."
Hearing Wu Tian's words, Chen Xuan had no other recourse and could only nod in agreement.
Subsequently, Wu Tian used his spiritual energy to purify the fish pond and then accompanied Chen Xuan in stocking new fish fry.
However, regarding the poisoning incident, even he had no clue.
The fish pond business returned to normal, and the supply was not significantly affected by the incident.
But this was thanks to Wu Tian's capabilities; otherwise, this poisoning incident could have been a devastating blow.
In the following days, Wu Tian remained near the fish pond, determined to catch the poisoner.
Yet, after half a month, even the village roads had been repaired, and he still had no leads.
"What's going on?"
In the middle of the night, Wu Tian hid in a concealed spot, feeling deeply perplexed.
"Could it be that he won't come again?"
According to Wu Tian's thinking, if someone would do such a thing, it must be for a specific purpose.
But now that the fish pond had recovered, it meant the person's objective had not been achieved.
Logically, the person should have tried the same tactic again!
Perhaps it was because he had alerted them, and now they were hesitant to act rashly?
Wu Tian pondered, but he couldn't fathom the other person's thoughts.
It was already one in the morning. Normally, Wu Tian would have been asleep by now, so he couldn't help but feel drowsy.
He yawned, thinking that perhaps the person wouldn't come today, and decided to go home to sleep.
But just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly heard a movement.
He immediately became alert and looked around.
Soon, the beam of a flashlight shone into his eyes.
He saw a furtive figure approaching not far away.
"He finally came," Wu Tian thought to himself, his gaze fixed on the person.
The figure, holding a flashlight, looked around and then stealthily approached the edge of the fish pond.
Perhaps due to guilt, he appeared very nervous. He fumbled in his pocket, took something out, and was about to scatter it into the fish pond.
At that moment, Wu Tian rushed out, simultaneously shouting in a deep voice, "What do you think you're doing?!"
The shout nearly scared the person to death.
Without a word, he turned and ran in a certain direction.
"Trying to escape?" A cold glint flashed in Wu Tian's eyes, and he disappeared into the darkness like a gust of wind.
When he reappeared, he was already beside the person. He lightly blocked with his right foot, causing the person to stumble and fall face-first.
Wu Tian stepped on his back, picked up the flashlight, and shone it on him, saying coldly, "Finally caught you."
"What are you doing!"
The person struggled to get up. Wu Tian sat down directly, then firmly twisted his right hand behind his back and grunted again:
"Behave yourself! Or I'll break your arm!"
Wu Tian's strength was immense. With his arm twisted behind his back, the person was in so much pain that tears were welling up.
He shouted with a flushed face, "What do you want? I was just out for a walk, why did you grab me!"
"A walk?" Wu Tian said coldly. "Out for a walk in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?"
"Confess! Why did you poison the fish pond!"
The person naturally wouldn't admit his purpose and stubbornly said, "Poisoning? I have no idea what you're talking about!"
"I was just unable to sleep and went for a stroll. If I'm not allowed to come here, I'll apologize. There's no need for you to treat me like this!"
"Still trying to quibble!" Wu Tian pried open the person's hand and snatched a paper packet from it. "Tell me, what is this!"
The person braced himself and said, "It's medicine!"
"I have a cold, this is my medicine for the cold. Is there a problem with that?"
"I'm telling you, you've misunderstood me. I really wasn't here to poison anything. You should let me go quickly!"
"Cold medicine, right?" Wu Tian nodded. "Alright, then eat it for me now!"
"As long as you eat it, I'll believe what you say!"
The person hadn't expected Wu Tian to do this, but at this point, he could only say, "Fine, fine, fine. Let me go, and I'll eat it right away!"
Wu Tian released the person. The person immediately got up from the ground, constantly moving his arm, looking like he was in pain.
At this moment, Wu Tian extended the medicine packet towards the person and said coldly, "You said you were going to take medicine, right? Come on, if you have the guts, eat it right here!"
The person took the medicine packet, his eyes trembling, and his hands shaking slightly.
Suddenly, his eyes turned fierce, and he threw the medicine packet at Wu Tian, saying, "You keep it and eat it yourself!"
With that, he turned and ran forward again.
But after taking only two steps, he found himself unable to move.
Invisibly, something seemed to have ensnared his body.
"Such a foolish tactic, and you dare to make a spectacle of yourself in front of me?"
Wu Tian held his palm open towards the person. It was precisely because of his spiritual energy restraint that the person had lost the ability to move.
The person was terrified and stammered, "Who are you? Let me go, quickly let me go!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Let you go? I think your brain is fried. I'll send you somewhere to cool off!"
With that, Wu Tian waved his large hand. The person immediately cried out in surprise and was then thrown into the fish pond by Wu Tian.
The water splashed noisily. The person frantically slapped the surface of the water, and the water from the fish pond surged into his mouth.
He struggled to call for help, "Help! Please help me! I can't swim!"
Wu Tian watched him coldly from the bank and said, "Is your brain clear now?"
"If it's clear, I'll pull you up. If it's not clear, you can stay down there!"
The person cried out in panic, "I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please save me! I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"
