The two reasons represent completely different meanings.
The former means that Bo Yuting and Miao Rensui's acquaintance and subsequent events were all accidents caused by fate; but if it is the latter, it means that everything Miao Rensui did was intentional and with a purpose.
Lin Wu hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Do you remember how you got the share of Ghost Street?"
There was a slight deep look in Bo Yuting's eyes.
"My uncle left it to me."
"I don't know if I'm overthinking it," Lin Wu said, "It seems that your uncle left a lot of things for you, which is a disguised proof that he trusts you the most. Maybe this trust has been known to others, so other people's eyes are naturally cast on you."
Perhaps that was why Miao Rensui recognized Bo Yuting as a member of the Bo family when he first saw him. From his age at that time, it was not difficult to infer who he was in the Bo family. So he decided to trust him unconditionally and offered to take him in as his apprentice and pass the antique business into his hands.
This sounds a bit far-fetched.
After all, how old was Bo Yuting when Bo Qingcheng went overseas? Why was Bo Qingcheng so sure that he could trust him and leave so many things for him? Was it because he was close to his parents? Even if that was the case, how could Bo Qingcheng be sure that Bo Yuting would become the person he wanted when he grew up? So Lin Wu's guess was somewhat unreasonable and could not stand up.
But if it wasn't for this, Lin Wu couldn't think of any other reason that could make Miao Rensui accept Bo Yuting as his disciple the first time he saw him.
Could it really be just because of chemistry?
Bo Yuting's brows were tightly knitted.
He also had the same feeling as Lin Wu said.
Somehow, his uncle seemed to be guiding him on what to do.
So could his master Miao Rensui be brought here by his uncle?
But during the time when his master was still alive, he had never heard him mention his uncle, nor had he ever heard him mention anything special.
"It would be great if my master were still alive, so I could ask him directly and clearly." Bo Yuting said slowly.
Seeing that he was frowning, Lin Wu comforted him, "Maybe I'm just overthinking it. No matter why your master accepted you as his disciple, he always treats you well."
Bo Yuting hummed softly.
Lin Wu simply talked about something else to divert his attention.
"I think this dried blood vine can really come in handy."
"What do you mean?"
Bo Yuting followed her instructions and asked, suppressing his chaotic thoughts.
Lin Wu counted for him on his fingers.
"First, it proves that after the '511' case, even though the top leaders banned the case and erased its existence, it was not really over and was implicated in other things."
"Second, I have a hunch that the fact that Master Miao left home early and came back late during that period, worked alone, and picked people to send away, may be related to the incident caused by this blood vine. It's hard to say what it is exactly now."
"Third, didn't all four lines receive the dried blood vine at that time? I think it wasn't just Master Miao who took action. People from other lines also did something about this suddenly appeared dried blood vine. I'm not sure whether they really did it or not. But what I can be sure of is that at least Xuanmen really did it secretly at that time."
When Bo Yuting heard her say this, and even mentioned Xuanmen, he was slightly stunned.
But he knew Lin Wu so well that he understood it almost immediately.
"You mean the murals in the underground palace under the Damaya Mine?"
Lin Wu nodded: "Didn't Cheng Man say that he had seen similar murals at his father's place? His father had related murals, and they couldn't have appeared in the '511' case. Because the team members didn't come back to contact them after going overseas, it was impossible for them to bring any gains or information to them."
"So his father Cheng Wenwei must have obtained those murals some time after the '511' incident."
She said, raising her eyebrows slightly.
"Moreover, as far as I know, for some time after the '511' case, Xuanmen was also busy looking for people like other industries, but to no avail. So it is impossible that the murals were obtained at that time."
"After thinking about it, it can only be that after the blood vine appeared, they were cautious and searched everywhere. I don't know what happened during the process. In short, the result is that they discovered the contents of the mural, and they kept it secret so that no one found out."
This is the most reasonable timeline.
Bo Yuting said thoughtfully: "That makes sense. It seems that this dried blood vine has brought them a lot of benefits."
Lin Wu glanced at his phone. "I asked Cheng Man to arrange a time to meet, but he hasn't replied to me. Maybe he ran into a wall with his father and is being detained. If there is no news from Cheng Man tomorrow, I will go to visit him in person."
"Take the dried blood vine with you."
Bo Yuting said suddenly.
Bo Yuting said: "The contents of those murals are very important, and they must be secrets that Xuanmen tried hard to hide. That's why they didn't share them several years ago, and they may not be willing to tell the truth now. When the time comes, we will show them the dried blood vine with the blood of the funeral owner to show that we already know what happened back then, and trick them into telling us."
This is one solution.
Lin Wu: “Okay.”
Bo Yuting curled his lips, his tone a little self-deprecating: "Fortunately, I didn't ask my master's old friends to burn the dried blood vine. Look, it's needed now."
Lin Wu frowned, thinking that Bo Yuting seemed to be a little concerned about why Miao Rensui accepted him as his disciple.
She took the initiative to move forward, squeezed his palm, and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. No matter what it is, whether there is a hidden story or not, when it comes to judging it, just look at the deeds and not the heart."
"Isn't your master treating you well? That means he really cares about you. Isn't that enough?"
"As for the rest, don't delve too deeply into it. Being a little confused is a blessing, and it can save you from a lot of trouble."
Lin Wu had never done much to comfort and enlighten others, so after racking his brains, he could only come up with these few words, which were awkward and clumsy.
Bo Yuting's gloomy mood improved a lot after seeing Lin Wu like this.
He deliberately pressed the corners of his mouth and said in a sad tone: "I understand, but I still can't help thinking about it. Why don't you divert my attention?"
"How to transfer? Take you to investigate other things?" Lin Wu asked.
Bo Yuting leaned forward and said seriously: "No need to be so troublesome, it's quite simple, such as kissing your boyfriend——"
Before he could finish his words, he felt a warm touch on his cheek and was stunned.
Lin Wu was instantly separated from him, and looked at him and asked, "Anything else?"
The man's heart suddenly softened.
He stared at the little girl, tapped his lips with his finger, and said, "Go down and kiss more accurately."
Even though Lin Wu was slow to react, he could tell that he did it on purpose, so he turned around and was about to leave.
Bo Yuting pulled the man back and said with a low laugh, "How can you coax someone halfway?"
Lin Wu glanced at him and said, "I don't think you need anyone to coax you."
"How is that possible? My boyfriend needs it!"
Bo Yuting took her into his arms, rubbed her affectionately, played with her hair with his fingers, and chatted: "How was your stay at Gu's house today?"
Lin Wu regained her senses a little, nestled in the man's arms and said lazily, "Not bad."
This reminded Lin Wu of something: "How long did it take you to prepare those gifts for them?"
"Not long after..."
"Everything you gave them made them very satisfied."
Lin Wu did not believe the man's words this time and pointed out: "It is not something that can be done in a short time to figure out their preferences, what they need at the moment, and what is the most appropriate gift."
Bo Yuting hummed and admitted, "Well, it took a little longer, probably... from the time you told Gu Shiqing that you could tell Professor Chi and Mr. Gu about your situation."
Lin Wu was stunned.
So early? "But why did you..."
"I think the little girl is so busy that she probably doesn't have time to prepare."
Bo Yuting kissed her and said softly, "Besides, it's hard enough for you to convince yourself to meet them and worry about how to get along with them. How can you have the energy to think about other things? Alas, there is no other way. My boyfriend is considerate, so I just did it for you. Are you touched? Kiss me again."
Actually, there is another reason.
Lin Wu is a slow-moving person, and is usually the passive party when interacting with others. It is too difficult for her to wait for someone she trusts to take the initiative. If others don't take the initiative, the relationship with her will remain stagnant and it will be difficult to change.
Therefore, if they just went to meet like that, Bo Yuting was worried that the Gu family would be cautious out of concern, and would be restrained and dare not do anything. That would seem too polite and unfamiliar, and Lin Wu would not be touched at all and would still have no real feeling towards his family.
Therefore, he prepared a gift for the meeting, so that the Gu family would feel that Lin Wu valued them, and would take the initiative to get close to her to shorten the distance and leave a good impression.
