Gu Yao looked up and saw that Wen Lu was ignoring her. She was a little angry. Wen Lu hadn't been like this when she asked her for favors before. What, now that she doesn't need her anymore, she doesn't even want to talk to her anymore.

Gu Yao stood up, casually tossed the tablet onto the sofa, and followed Wen Lu out.

As soon as Wen Lu stepped into the kitchen, she smelled the aroma of boiled pork. She unconsciously swallowed and narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, making a look of enjoyment on her face.

Standing behind Wen Lu, Wang Jinyu looked at her with a fond smile and spoke softly.

"Eat less spicy food, as it can easily cause internal heat."

Wen Lu selectively ignored Wang Jinyu's reminder. Without any hesitation, she walked towards the dining table, sat down in a chair, took the rice and chopsticks handed to her by the aunt, picked up a bite of boiled meat and ate it, revealing a satisfied expression.

Seeing that Wen Lu had a good appetite, Wang Jinyu poured her a glass of lemon water and placed it beside her to help relieve the spiciness.

Just as Wen Lu was about to finish eating, Gu Yao walked in from outside and sat down opposite Wen Lu, the seat furthest away from her. Wen Lu took a bite of rice, raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Yao indifferently, changed her eating posture, and spoke casually.

"What? You're here for no reason? I heard you took a job assassinating me. What, are you here to kill me?"

Hearing Wen Lu's provocative words, Gu Yao looked at Wang Jinyu. She felt that apart from Wang Jinyu telling her, Wen Lu had no chance to hear about this from anyone else.

"It wasn't her who told me, it was Phantom who told me..."

Wen Lu took a bite of meat and looked at Gu Yao with a half-smile. For some reason, she suddenly had a mischievous sense of humor and thought it would be quite interesting to tease Gu Yao.

When Gu Yao heard Wen Lu mention Mei Ying, she froze on the spot, staring at Wen Lu in disbelief. She had been by Mei Ying's side for so long and never knew that Mei Ying actually knew Wen Lu.

"What? Surprised? The other day, Phantom contacted Jiang Qi to help me. I also heard that after Jiang Qi got in touch with Phantom, she even asked you to confirm it. Phantom even complained about Jiang Qi's big mouth."

Wang Jinyu, who was standing to the side, was a little confused when he heard Wen Lu mention Phantom in front of Gu Yao. Just now in the bedroom, Wen Lu had said that she did not want to provoke Gu Yao and was worried that Gu Yao would be angry when her identity was exposed. So what was she doing now?

After hearing Wen Lu's words, Gu Yao suddenly stood up from her seat. She hadn't expected that Wen Lu actually knew Mei Ying.

"Wen Lu, where have you seen Phantom? How is she now? Is she seriously injured? The chip inside her body was blown out; it must be in a lot of pain."

Hearing Gu Yao mention the chip on Mei Ying's body, Wen Lu's hand trembled involuntarily. She wasn't really sure if it hurt. When the explosion happened? She didn't even have time to feel the pain before she was blown to pieces.

Gu Yao noticed Wen Lu's trembling hands. She couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. Wen Lu was her sister; how could she not feel sorry for her?

She really wanted to see her, but she didn't dare to. Phantom was such a proud person; she would never let anyone see her like this.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter what she looks like, as long as she's alive. Wen Lu, how did you meet her? Since you're her friend, then you're my friend. Don't worry, I'll protect your life. I won't let any of those who want you dead get away with it."

Gu Yao looked at Wen Lu with a determined gaze. Wen Lu felt a strange sense of guilt when she met Gu Yao's eyes. She felt that she might have gone too far, but she really had her reasons and could not tell Gu Yao her true identity.

"She's doing alright now, don't worry, she'll naturally come back when she's able to..."

Before Wen Lu could finish speaking, a tall, slender figure walked in from outside and went straight to Wen Lu.

Mu Moheng glanced at Wang Jinyu, then at Wen Lu. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Auntie, I need your help with something. Yan Luo told me you know Ghost Hand, and I'd like to ask you to help me contact him. My grandfather's condition isn't very good right now, I..."

Snap...

Before Mu Moheng could finish speaking, Wang Jinyu threw the water glass on the ground. He hadn't expected Mu Moheng to poach people right in front of him. How dare he do that?

Seeing Wang Jinyu lose his temper, Mu Moheng was slightly taken aback. He frowned and looked at Wang Jinyu, speaking with some difficulty.

“Uncle, I know you hate my grandfather, but the Mu family is really in a turbulent situation right now. If something happens to my grandfather again, our whole family will be replaced. Those ambitious people are waiting for news of my grandfather's death. As long as my grandfather is gone, they will definitely attack us all.”

Before, Phantom had researched all the major families around the world for the things she wanted to investigate, so she knew that what Mu Moheng said was absolutely true.

Since the Mu family patriarch was hospitalized for the first time three years ago, all those who coveted the Mu family have been making moves. The Mu family had been doing well for the first two years, but in the past year, they have really been in the eye of the storm.

In particular, the Mu family holds control over several important ports and transportation hubs, which makes those people want to tear the Mu family apart and devour them. The Mu family is truly in great danger.

Wen Lu glanced at Mu Moheng, then turned to look at Wang Jinyu. She reached out and held Wang Jinyu's hand, asking softly.

"Don't you really want to ask him yourself why he treated your mother that way?"

Seemingly surprised that Wen Lu would ask such a question, Wang Jinyu looked at Mu Hewan without saying a word, as if he was silently questioning Wen Lu about how she could say such a thing.

"The knot in our hearts needs to be untied, and the Mu family's affairs also need to be resolved. Running away won't solve anything."

In fact, Wen Lu also wanted to meet this Mr. Mu. After learning that Wang Jinyu had been injected with that special injection, she investigated a lot of information and was certain that the injection had not entered Country C at Wang Jinyu's age.

However, after learning about Wang Jinyu's relationship with the Mu family, she had already made a preliminary conclusion: Wang Jinyu's injection should have been administered in S City, and the kidnapping case should have also occurred in S City.

Seeing that Wen Lu also said the same thing, Wang Jinyu was really annoyed. He glared at Wen Lu with bloodshot eyes, stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

Wen Lu didn't rush to chase after Wang Jinyu; she simply raised her eyes and glanced at Mu Moheng.

“Ghost Hand will have time in a month and can go to S City, but Ghost Hand’s commission has always been very high, one billion. I don’t know if you’re willing to do so…”

"Sure, as long as you can get Ghost Hand for me, I'll give Ghost Hand a salary of one billion, and I'll also give you a service fee of one billion..."

Before Wen Lu could finish speaking, Mu Moheng immediately agreed. He felt that the 1.1 billion yuan was worthwhile, given his grandfather's year-long commitment, and he was willing to believe that Wen Lu could achieve it.
