"Forget about the steamed buns, I'm still a bit angry. Could you bring me the cake? Maybe eating something sweet will make me feel better."

Wen Lu looked at Wang Jinyu with a soft and cute expression, and Wang Jinyu instantly felt his heart soften. He smiled gently, walked to the refrigerator in the kitchen, took out the cake he had prepared in advance, opened the lid, put it on a plate, and handed it to Wen Lu.

After taking a bite of the cake, Wen Lu squinted her eyes in satisfaction, then picked up a piece and handed it to Wang Jinyu. Although Wang Jinyu didn't like sweets, he didn't refuse.

A short while later, Wen Lu finished the entire cake. Her mood had improved considerably. She turned around and reached out to hug Wang Jinyu.

Wang Jinyu smiled gently at the woman in his arms who was becoming increasingly affectionate, and lightly pinched her ear.

"When I went out just now, I received a call from Mu Moheng. He said that the old man's condition is not good, and asked me how much longer it would take to get Ghost Hand. Ghost Hand, when do you have time to accompany me?"

Wang Jinyu hadn't expected to go to S City so soon. Things had been too chaotic in F Continent lately, and she had planned to resolve things there before going to S City. However, she hadn't expected that they were already impatient.

Upon hearing Wang Jinyu's words, Wen Lu looked up at him and pondered for a moment before speaking in a calm tone.

"I'm fine with anything, it's up to you. But I've heard that things are a bit chaotic in F continent lately. Are you sure you want to go to S city at this time? Actually, you don't need to worry about me, I can go by myself."

Wen Lu is used to traveling around the country alone, and her research has reached an age where she no longer needs someone to accompany her.

Moreover, even if Wang Jinyu accompanied her, there would be too many inconveniences. She didn't want to expose her identity as Wen Lu, but as long as Wang Jinyu appeared with her, it was obvious that people who knew them would know their identities.

Wang Jinyu looked down at Wen Lu lying on his lap and chuckled. He had already seen through Wen Lu's thoughts; she still wanted to hide her identity.

“There are indeed some problems in F Continent, and they are quite troublesome. Originally, I thought that I would leave to deal with the problems in F Continent, and when I came back, I would take you to S City to see that old man.”

"Just tell me what you're thinking, and I'll consider it. If your idea is feasible, I can take it into account when making a decision."

Hearing Wang Jinyu's understanding words, Wen Lu smiled gently and, without any hesitation, expressed her thoughts directly.

“I think we can’t appear together. Even if you and Ghost Hand are friends, it’s impossible for you to appear together. Ghost Hand is always elusive. If you were to walk together, our relationship would become complicated.”

"There's also a very serious issue. I don't want to reveal my identity as Wen Lu. When I confessed my identity as Ghost Hand to you, it was simply because I didn't want you to continue searching for Ghost Hand to cure my illness. I had no other choice."

"This identity is still very useful to me. I have other uses for it too. Oh, you don't have to rush to refute me."

Looking at Wang Jinyu's expression, Wen Lu roughly guessed what Wang Jinyu wanted to refute her about, and she shook her head at Wang Jinyu.

"It's different. You're too obsessed with me. Putting aside whether I'm in danger, just look at me with that drooling gaze. You could easily expose my identity. Even if you don't expose my identity, other people will be able to tell that there's something going on between us."

"So, this time we'll split up. You go to F Continent to handle your business, and I'll go to S City to treat the head of the Mu family. If you finish your business before I return, then come to S City to find me. If necessary, I'm willing to appear by your side as Wen Lu. Is that alright?"

Wen Lu stared intently at Wang Jinyu with her dark, bright eyes, waiting for him to give her a definite answer.

After waiting for a while, Wang Jinyu sighed softly, and then nodded to Wen Lu as if he had given in.

"It's not impossible, but you need to bring people with you to ensure your safety. You're not the Phantom you used to be. Even if the Phantom encountered danger, he was able to protect himself. But you're different now. Your body doesn't allow you to do high-intensity exercise."

Hearing Wang Jinyu bring up her health, Wen Lu sighed resignedly. Wang Jinyu was right; her health was indeed her biggest weakness.

"Okay, I agree to that. Will you arrange the person protecting me, or will I arrange it myself? If it's your person, then don't use the people around you. Give me someone who is skilled and whom no one has ever seen before. I know you have such people under your command."

Unexpectedly, Wen Lu even knew about this kind of thing. He gave Wen Lu a slight smile and gently pinched Wen Lu's ear with his fingers.

"Three days, I'll go back to F Continent after three days, and you'll come with me. Then you'll leave F Continent with my people. What do you think?"

After Wang Jinyu finished speaking, he stared intently into Wen Lu's eyes, waiting for her response.

"Okay, then let's go to F Continent together after three days."

Hearing that she could go to F Continent, Wen Lu was really looking forward to it. She also wanted to go to F Continent to see those reckless people and ask them who gave them the courage to come to F Continent's territory to steal things. Did they not get a good beating three years ago?

After discussing it, Wen Lu and Wang Jinyu changed their clothes. They had been away from the apartment for two days, and it was time to go see Qian Lailai and Gu Yao. She said that she had some things she wanted to tell Gu Yao. With the appearance of the Ghost Hand, many people would definitely be looking for its whereabouts, and the Shadow Alliance would need to help with this matter.

Wen Lu and Wang Jinyu returned to the apartment together. When they opened the door, they saw Qian Lailai sitting on the sofa doing practice problems. Qian Lailai looked up when she heard the door open.

The moment she saw Wen Lu, she put down her workbook and stood up from the sofa.

"Junior Uncle, what have you been up to these past two days? Yan Nuo has been trying to call you but hasn't been able to get through."

Reminded by Qian Lailai, Wen Lu finally remembered Yan Nuo. She nodded slightly, indicating that she knew why Yan Nuo had come to see her.

"I'll contact Yan Nuo about it later. Where's Gu Yao? Isn't Gu Yao home?"

"Gu Yao went out early this morning, I heard she went to deal with that traffic accident. Junior Uncle, do you know? Su Yu's mother died..."
