The two chatted for a long time.
When the time was almost up, Bo Yuting said softly, "I'll go downstairs and borrow the kitchen to make breakfast for you. It's still cold outside, so don't go downstairs with me. Sleep here for a while, or you'll be sleepy when you eat breakfast later."
Lin Wu nodded obediently.
Bo Yuting got up and left.
Lin Wu slept in the quilt for more than an hour. It was almost half past four when Bo Yuting came back to call her.
Lin Wu washed his face with cold water to wake himself up, changed his clothes, and went downstairs to the restaurant with Bo Yuting.
He actually got some lotus root and made chicken soup to cook the wontons, which were fresh and delicious.
As Lin Wu ate, his thoughts drifted back to the first time he ate lotus root and meat wontons.
But as she said, she couldn't remember what the girl looked like, and that was the last time they met.
Now, for some reason, Lin Wu had a similar feeling again.
She looked up at the man sitting opposite her and said, "I promise, we'll see each other again soon."
She will try her best to come back alive.
Bo Yuting was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said: "My boyfriend also promised."
Lin Wu swallowed the last wonton and said, "You can take Bo Wu with you."
"He doesn't need it anymore. It's just right for him to accompany you..."
"I'll feel relieved if you take him away."
Lin Wu interrupted him.
Bo Yuting was silent for a moment, then smiled and agreed, asking, "Are you full?"
Lin Wu shook his head.
Bo Yuting then stood up and went back to the kitchen to serve her some.
Strangely enough, Lin Wu wasn't very hungry this time, but she ate three full bowls, just like the first time she ate lotus root and pork wontons.
Before I knew it, dawn had broken and it was almost half past five.
There was the sound of propellers outside again.
But both of them seemed not to hear, and no one spoke.
In the end, it was Bo Yuting who took the initiative to break the silence. He said gently, "The boyfriend is gone."
Lin Wu nodded.
Bo Yuting stood up and was about to leave but couldn't help leaning forward towards Lin Wu. He put his hands on the back of her neck and pressed her towards him, then kissed her forehead.
"It's cold outside, so don't go out. I can walk by myself. Otherwise, my boyfriend will be reluctant to leave." He whispered.
Lin Wu was silent for a while and nodded.
Bo Yuting looked at her deeply, let go of her, stood up straight, turned and walked towards the door.
Lin Wu listened to the footsteps gradually fading away.
Soon, the sound of the propeller outside faded away.
Finally, silence.
Lin Wu seemed to be able to hear even his own slow heartbeat.
"He's gone. The guy named Bo Wu was also taken away by him." You Yuan's voice suddenly rang out.
Soon, You Yuan's figure appeared in front of Lin Wu, and he sat down opposite her.
Lin Wu seemed to come back to his senses, closed his eyes, and said, "Then I'm ready to leave too."
You Yuan asked: "Are you sure you are fully prepared?"
Lin Wu didn't want to lie to the other party and shook his head.
When the assassin showed up, things were a little out of her control. She didn't know how much that person knew that she could use to threaten her.
But it doesn’t matter, just pretend you don’t know.
She knew that person and he would not take the initiative to break up with her.
"Just do as I planned." Lin Wu said, paused, and added: "I just need to trouble my second brother to stay here for a few more days and don't let my whereabouts be leaked."
You Yuan asked, "Are a few days enough?"
Lin Wu pulled the corner of his mouth, "Maybe it's okay."
It was half-dawn outside and the sky was still dark.
Lin Wu looked at his watch and the red light appeared again.
She ignored it for the time being, went upstairs to Zheng Yuan's room, and knocked on the door.
A faint "enter" soon came from inside.
Lin Wu pushed the door open and saw that Zheng Yuan had woken up, but was still lying on the bed, unable to move.
"Master." Zheng Yuan saw it was her and called her.
Lin Wu walked over to the bed, dragged a chair and sat down, looked at his miserable appearance, and said: "Before in Lingnan, I said I would reward you with a vacation, but you didn't want it. As a result, now, you see, you still have to take a vacation."
Zheng Yuan shook reflexively and said helplessly: "Master, I'm already like this, please don't trick me."
Lin Wu said righteously: "What are you talking about? How can I be a boss who is so inconsiderate to his subordinates? Besides, when have I ever cheated you?"
Zheng Yuan looked at her silently.
Lin Wu remained calm and said, "At most, I will think of you sometimes. I hope your ordinary life will be colorful and memorable."
Zheng Yuan's mouth twitched. "Master, please don't beat around the bush. I'm really afraid you're holding it in. If there's anything you want me to do, just tell me directly."
Lin Wu said sternly: "You are such a person. Why do you always think so much? Am I that kind of person? I said I would give you a holiday, and it really is a holiday. You are an injured person, how can I bear to let you suffer any more? What if you develop a chronic disease?"
Zheng Yuan said weakly, "But I really think I can still do it. I'm sure I can move after lying down for a few days. Can you not give me a holiday and do something else?"
Lin Wu smiled.
Zheng Yuan; “………”
Even more scared.
Zheng Yuan sighed helplessly: "Master, where do you want me to go for a vacation?"
Lin Wu then put away his kind smile in satisfaction and said, "When my second brother leaves in a few days, you can go and find Lord Bai Hai. He will arrange a sanatorium for you."
She searched her pockets and pulled out only a brooch.
It was the antique enamel and agate brooch of Queen Elizabeth II that Gu Chengbo had given her, which he had taken out of his bag not long ago.
She stared at it for a moment before placing it on the bedside table.
"There is a man in the sanatorium. He looks young, about 20 years old, but he is taciturn and very skilled. Half of his right little finger is missing. If I'm not mistaken, he should be locked up."
"When you find him, give him this brooch. Then you can rest and recuperate there. Don't pay attention to anyone and don't trust anyone. When the time comes, Zheng Lian and Zheng Qi will come to pick you up."
Zheng Yuan was stunned when he heard Zheng Lian's name.
This was the first time in recent years that Lin Wu had clearly decided to use Zheng Lian, which meant...
"...Master, considering that I have been with you for so long and have done so much for you, can you also go and pick me up when the time comes?" Zheng Yuan whispered, "I mean, will you still...will I still be able to see you when the time comes?"
Lin Wu stretched and said, "I'll try my best."
Zheng Yuan looked at her and said, "Master, sometimes, we really hope that you don't know so much and are still the master you used to be. In this way, you can weigh the pros and cons and stay outside instead of going back."
Lin Wu leaned back and said, "If that were the case, I would not have saved you three. After all, when I first saved you, I really couldn't see what worthwhile benefits you could bring me."
Zheng Yuan took a deep breath, reached out to take the brooch, and held it tightly in his hand.
"Master, please go with peace of mind. I will take this vacation well," he said.
Lin Wu nodded, stood up and left.
She went back to her room, packed only the things she had to take with her, then went downstairs with her bag.
When he arrived at the rescue station, Lin Wu saw You Yuan leaning against the front of the car with his arms folded not far away.
Seeing Lin Wu, he stood up and said, "Second brother will take you there."
Lin Wu walked over and stretched out his hand to him: "It's better for me to go by myself. If you go, it may cause unnecessary trouble and it will be inconvenient for you to leave."
You Yuan frowned slightly.
Under her gaze, he finally put the car keys in her hand.
"Proceed with caution."
I’m not sure if I will update tomorrow, because I need to sort out the outline of Killer City and add some details that I didn’t think of before.
In addition, after writing the assassin city, the dungeon is the last copy, and the content may not be too much, only 60,000 to 70,000 words. So the remaining plot should be just over 200,000 words, and the book will be finished soon.
