Lin Wu pursed her lips, shook her head, and did not hide it from Bo Yuting.
"When we were almost ready to eat, a female classmate who liked Xing Yan came to bother me and warned me to stay away from this Senior Brother Xing. So I didn't stay to eat and just left."
"You haven't eaten yet?" Bo Yuting asked.
Lin Wu nodded.
Bo Yuting said, "That's great, let's go to my house. I was going to bring you dinner, you can just heat it up and eat it when you get home."
Lin Wu looked back at the back seat and saw two thermal boxes. Thinking of Bo Yuting's cooking skills, she felt better and said, "Okay."
Bo Yuting looked at Lin Wu's reflection in the rearview mirror and asked with some awareness, "Is this female classmate unusual?" If she was just an ordinary person, Lin Wu wouldn't have remembered her until now.
Lin Wu said: "I mentioned it to you before. It was Situ Yue whom I met when I just started school."
Bo Yuting thought about it and remembered.
They had just arrived outside the villa, so he stopped the car and the two of them got out.
Bo Yuting took Lin Wu's bag, holding the insulated box in his other hand, walked to the door, opened it with his pupil authentication, and then said, "I also checked this Situ Yue you mentioned. Guess what I found."
"Is it related to the Gu family?" Lin Wu followed Bo Yuting inside and said as he walked, "I already know this. The Situ family is in the antique business and has a cooperative relationship with the Gu family, and it started two years ago. If it weren't for the Gu family, the Situ family wouldn't be where they are today."
"Yes, the timing two years ago was very critical. The Gu family would never interact with their family for no reason."
After entering, Bo Yuting took Lin Wu directly to the dining table. He asked Lin Wu to wash his hands first, and he went into the kitchen to heat up dinner.
Lin Wu quickly came back after washing up. Looking at Bo Yuting who was busy in the kitchen, she leaned on the table with her arms folded, thinking: "Not only that, I suspect that the artifact is most likely in Situ's house."
Bo Yuting paused and looked back at her.
Lin Wu said, "I have checked. The Situ family has a wide range of antique business, especially in the antique market in Beijing. The Situ family occupies the majority. Most of the funerary objects brought back by many experts who searched for tombs were sold through the Situ family. Therefore, it is normal for the Situ family to have one more funerary object. No one will care. After all, in this business, there are too many things that do not ask about their origins."
When it comes to how to preserve the artifact brought out by the Huo family, the Situ family has a good idea.
Bo Yuting was speechless for a moment, then said, "In fact, we will know tomorrow whether the artifact is in the Gu family. But what we can be sure of is whether the artifact is in the Gu family. As for where it is, we may not know. But if the artifact is not in the Gu family, it is very likely to be in the Situ family you mentioned."
Lin Wu was stunned. "You'll know tomorrow? Why?"
Bo Yuting heated up the food, brought it back to the table, washed and cut some fruit for Lin Wu, and then asked Lin Wu to sit down and prepare to eat.
He handed Lin Wu the chopsticks and said shockingly, "I have an appointment with Gu Chengbai tomorrow."
Lin Wu's hand trembled, and the ribs she picked up fell onto the table. She suddenly turned her head to look at Bo Yuting, "You want to see Gu Chengbai?"
Bo Yuting nodded, "It's already been decided."
"But if you want to know the whereabouts of the artifact from him, will he tell you?" Lin Wu asked.
Bo Yuting hummed, "He would. You probably don't know one thing, but in fact, most of the previous generations of the five surnames in Beijing had some interactions, but later because of an accident, they gradually became strangers and didn't interact much. But Gu Chengbai and I know each other, and he told me, it won't do him any harm. He won't doubt why I asked."
Lin Wu asked in a deep voice: "What price will you give him in exchange for the information?"
Bo Yuting did not respond.
Bo Yuting sighed slightly and said, "The thing I have that will interest him the most right now is the share of Ghost Street."
"???"
Lin Wu was a little confused, "You have a share of Ghost Street?"
Bo Yuting said, "That's right. You also know something about Ghost Street. You should know that Ghost Street is now divided into two parts. The east side belongs to the second leatherworker, and the west side... do you know who it belongs to?"
Lin Wu said without hesitation: "It is said that he belongs to a gold mine tycoon."
Bo Yuting raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lin Wu without saying anything.
Lin Wu was stunned, then realized belatedly: "...It's you?"
Bo Yuting hummed in a low voice, picked up another piece of pork chop for Lin Wu, and explained concisely: "It was originally my uncle's property. After he...left, I took over the management. As for this, Gu Er is in politics, and he participated in the previous investigation and review of Ghost Street by relevant departments, so he knows that half of Ghost Street is in my hands."
Lin Wu frowned.
After a long while, she asked, "How much share does Gu Chengbai want?"
Bo Yuting said, "I don't know yet. He will mention it when we meet tomorrow. Anyway, it's probably like that. In exchange, he will give me the information about the artifact."
Lin Wu looked at Bo Yuting, frowning even more tightly. She said, "The share of Ghost Street is different from that of the black market. You can't give it up easily. Otherwise... you don't have to do this."
"But this will save a lot of trouble, won't it?" Bo Yuting was amused by Lin Wu's serious expression and chuckled, "It's not as serious as you think. I don't need the Ghost Street for what I have. It would be even better if I could spend it somewhere worthwhile."
"But it's not worth giving it to the Gu family." Lin Wu said, "I already have a solution."
Bo Yuting said: "Even if you have another way, the first thing you have to do is to confirm whether the artifacts are there at the Gu family, right?"
He looked at Lin Wu and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub her head.
When Lin Wu wanted to hide, he heard him say softly: "Do you think I don't know that you stayed up all night again last night? Have you had a good sleep this week? Using those things from Ghost Street to save some trouble and let you rest early is worth it for me. Besides, you and I are on the same rope and do the same thing. Why should we distinguish between you and me?"
Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, and when she met his deep eyes, her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
This made Lin Wu immediately turn his head away to avoid his sight. After a moment of silence, he said, "I will bring it back to you later."
Bo Yuting smiled and said, "I'll listen to you. Can we eat now?"
Lin Wu nodded and focused on eating.
Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Wu asked curiously: "Why would Gu Chengbai want a share of Ghost Street?"
"I don't know." Bo Yuting said, "But if he is against the Huo family, half of Ghost Street is currently in the hands of Erpijiang, which is equivalent to the Huo family. He may want to gradually disintegrate the other party's power like the Huo family did. And to do this, he must first enter the other party's sphere of influence."
Lin Wu thought it was possible.
After dinner, Lin Wu did not rush back. He stayed in Bo Yuting, ate some fruit, and took a walk for a while to digest the food before going back to sleep.
