"Who? Gu Shiqing? He looks a lot like the guy Gong Ye knew before?"
Lin Wu nodded.
Bo Yuting was puzzled: "How do you know? The things you said about Gong Ye should have happened before he entered the Fourth Special Zone. You two probably didn't know each other at that time, so how do you know so much about it and what Gong Ye's old friend looks like?"
"At that time, I didn't know him, but my eldest brother and his friends knew him." Lin Wu said naturally, "After I entered the Fourth Special Zone, they told me during a casual chat."
Bo Yuting looked at her.
Lin Wu only persisted for a few seconds: "Well, actually I heard them let it slip and asked out of curiosity. But they only told me a little. Later, the third brother found out and he was a little angry, but in the end he told me everything and showed me a photo he kept. Then I knew what the man looked like."
As for the past, Chu Zhongwu and the other three would not take the initiative to tell her, always thinking that the past was not so good and not suitable for her to know. So if Lin Wu hadn't accidentally heard them talking about it that time, she might not have known so much.
Although she had seen the photo of Gong Ye's old man, it had nothing to do with her, so Lin Wu quickly forgot about it. When she saw Gu Shiqing taking off the human skin mask in the underground palace, Lin Wu didn't think about it. At that time, she only saw Gu Shiqing's shock for the first time after knowing her relationship with the Gu family.
It was not until they went to the mansion and Gong Ye was stunned by Gu Shiqing's true appearance after he had cleaned up that Lin Wu remembered.
But Miyano didn't say anything at the time, and he didn't seem to be interested in Gu Shiqing, so she didn't mention it. She only reminded Miyano to be careful when Miyano talked to her about Gu Shiqing later.
Who would have known that Gong Ye and Gu Shiqing still had private contact later.
She knew without thinking too much that it must be Miyano who couldn't help himself first.
Fortunately, she knew Miyano well enough. Gu Shiqing was her biological second brother. For this reason, she was not too worried as she knew Miyano would not do anything out of line.
After listening to Lin Wu's words, Bo Yuting immediately remembered the time at the mansion.
No wonder Gong Ye had that reaction after Gu Shiqing took a shower and cleaned up. He thought Gong Ye disliked him and deliberately made things difficult for him, but it turned out that there was such a hidden story.
Bo Yuting couldn't help but ask Lin Wu: "Does Gu Shiqing know?"
Lin Wu shook his head.
How could Gu Shiqing know? Gong Ye would not tell him on his own initiative.
Besides, Miyano is her third brother, not anyone else's third brother. If someone mentions Miyano's past, Miyano will just sneer and kill the other person.
Who dares to mention it? No one.
Gu Shiqing had no way of knowing.
"Should we tell Gu Shiqing about this?" Bo Yuting asked.
Lin Wu looked at him, puzzled, "Why did you mention this to him? My third brother and Gu Shiqing will only have a cooperative relationship of meeting a few times at most, and it's unlikely that they will become friends. They may not have a deep friendship in the future, so why would you know this? Besides, it's my third brother's private matter, and Gu Shiqing is far from familiar with him enough to know about it."
She retracted her gaze, looked forward, and got back to the point: "Anyway, this is how I know about No. 49."
Bo Yuting thought about it and decided that it was true. He stopped talking about Gu Shiqing and said, "Let's get back to the point. My people found out that 18 years ago, No. 49 had appeared at the rescue station over at Blackback Mountain. I haven't found out who the person Cheng Wenwei and the other two met was, but he looks a bit like No. 49."
Lin Wu was surprised: "Really?"
"Yeah." Bo Yuting nodded.
While they were talking, the two had already returned to Xijin Mansion.
Lin Wu thought along the lines of what he said.
You know what, I succeeded in convincing her.
But she was even more confused: "Why did the people from No. 49 intervene in this? Is it because of the '511' case?"
"maybe."
"So the higher-ups have never given up on the '511' case?"
Lin Wu was surprised.
Bo Yuting held the bag for her and they both opened the car door and got out.
He stared at Lin Wu and said, "I thought so too. Over the years, the higher-ups have been banning the '511' case. I originally thought they had really given up on it and didn't investigate further because they were concerned about the risk. But if No. 49 is related to what happened to Cheng Wenwei back then, it means that the higher-ups have not given up and have made other progress and clues without telling anyone, and are doing things that we don't know about."
Based on this, Bo Yuting's interest in Blackback Mountain reached its peak.
He must go there in person to see what those old guys are up to!
Thinking of this, Bo Yuting walked around the front of the car and came to Lin Wu, holding her hand and looking down at her, "Actually, I don't want to separate from you and let you go to Lingnan alone. I originally wanted to go to Lingnan with you first, and then go to the northwest. But since there are traces of No. 49 in the northwest, it means that there is more than I thought..."
After a pause, he said, "So now we have to separate for real. I feel more comfortable with you going to Lingnan than going to the northwest together."
He could just go to the Blackback Mountain in the northwest. If those old guys were really there as he thought, Lin Wu would be safe if he didn't go. Those old guys would only focus on him and would not notice Lin Wu.
Lin Wu frowned slightly.
If that was the case, she would definitely go to the Blackback Mountain in the northwest. But Lingnan was also very important, and it was related to what she was pushing for intentionally or unintentionally...
Whatever, at worst she could solve the problem quickly and then rush to the northwest. Compared to the dangers in the northwest, she didn't want Bo Yuting to see what happened in Lingnan.
And she believed in his ability, he would be fine.
Lin Wu nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Bo Yuting rubbed her head, bent down and kissed her, and said softly: "Let's go in. I just learned a new dish recently, and I'll cook it for you."
Lin Wu nodded and was pulled into the villa by him.
As soon as he entered, Bo Yuting went straight to the kitchen. Lin Wu took his bag and went upstairs to the study to continue studying. He didn't go downstairs until dinner was ready.
And asked Bo Yuting: "When are you leaving?"
The man handed her the chopsticks, thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow. I have to finish my own business and arrange for the staff before I leave."
Lin Wu silently calculated that his timing was just right. After he left, she would be able to leave as well.
She hummed, "Be careful."
