After saying that, Lin Wu hung up Lu Guichi’s phone.

She hesitated.

Going to the Ninth Pier requires a master of mysticism. Even if she goes by herself, she doesn't need to find another master of mysticism. But she is not safe alone and needs someone to help her.

There are not many people who are both trustworthy and skilled, and Lu Guichi is one of them.

But the two of them were clearly not enough.

It wouldn't be safe if too many people were involved. We can't let too many people know what happened at Pier 9.

Then she has to find someone who is trustworthy, won't talk nonsense, and can be the equal of ten people.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Wu shook her head and looked upstairs. She made a decision in an instant and quickly went upstairs to the study. Her study in Xijin Mansion was similar in layout to the study in her residence in Beicheng.

After moving in, Lin Wu secretly asked someone to modify the room and set up a dark room in the study.

She walked to the bookshelf and moved the mechanism on it. There was a click and the whole bookshelf started moving, splitting into two halves in the middle and moving slowly to both sides, revealing a secret door that was big enough for one person to pass through.

Lin Wu's eyes fell on the electronic screen next to her. She operated it for a while and the system was activated. A faint blue light scanned Lin Wu's whole body and finally stopped at her pupils.

With a "beep", a cold electronic sound rang out.

[Pupil verification passed, welcome master. 】

The secret door opened, revealing the dark room inside.

Lin Wu went in and came to the operating table at the end. In front of him was a huge LCD screen.

She lifted her leg and hooked the chair to sit down. After turning on the device, her ten fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard. Countless code pages quickly popped up on the screen, and then it turned into a video call page. On her side, a virtual avatar page was displayed.

Seeing this, Lin Wu found the voice changer and put it on. The call was immediately connected and a familiar voice sounded.

"Black Fox?"

It was Xu Xianhuai.

He was extremely surprised: "Didn't you just contact me yesterday? Why are you contacting me again today? You never contacted me so frequently before. What happened?"

Lin Wu pursed her lips and asked, "Where is Guan Chen?"

"Him? I think he's still in China."

Xu Xianhuai said, "Speaking of this, I have to ask you something. Didn't you come to me a few days ago and ask us to help you with something? Considering our past friendship, I agreed without hesitation and asked Guan Chen to immediately hand over all the things on hand and go to Huaguo to meet your people. But he has already gone there, and you suddenly said you don't need him anymore. Black Fox, what's wrong with you? Are you playing around?"

Yes, the person that Lin Wu and Bo Yuting had mentioned before was Guan Chen.

This was mainly because Lin Wu wanted to take the artifacts away without anyone noticing after finding out the location, and she didn't want anyone to find out. At that time, someone was watching her, so she could only find someone from abroad, and those people would never keep an eye on her dealings with foreign countries.

Among the people she knew, the officials from international organizations were the most reassuring.

He was a mercenary, so this kind of mission was no problem for him.

The people behind the scenes certainly didn't expect that she could find Guan Chen to help.

This time, Lin Wu thought about it again and again and decided that Guan Chen made her feel most at ease. He could do the job of several people alone, so she would be more confident.

Hearing Xu Xianhuai's question, Lin Wu rubbed his brows and said, "I was busy at the time and it was inconvenient for me to look for him. Besides, I didn't give him any less commission after the event."

"Is this a question of commission?" Xu Xianhuai said righteously, "In my eyes, Xiaoguan is no different from my own brother. I almost handed over the entire international organization to him. But you made him go there in vain. I tell you, I'm really angry. You don't value our friendship at all!"

Lin Wu said, "Oh!" and exposed him mercilessly, "So if I really meet him and let him find out my true identity, I can satisfy your curiosity and give you the opportunity to post my information on the Internet and sell it for money. That means I value our friendship?"

"Hehe... Look at what you said, I am that kind of person! I mainly care about you and want to know how you are doing. Only then can I let you clearly feel the spring breeze between friends and how much I value you as a partner!" Xu Xianhuai said seriously.

Lin Wu: “…”

Xu Xianhuai's expression changed instantly: "It's vulgar to talk about money when it comes to the relationship between you and me. Come on, let's not talk about the past, put it behind us, and continue to be good allies in the future. Let's talk about business, what do you want to talk to me about this time?"

Lin Wu touched his nose and said, "I have a friend who has run into some trouble recently and needs Guan Chen to help her. And it's urgent. He needs to go at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Can he make it?"

Xu Xianhuai was stunned: "Your friend? What kind of friend do you have that you would come here?"

"...the kind of life and death together. If she dies, I can't live either."

"Then it's very intimate?" Xu Xianhuai asked immediately.

Lin Wu: “…Yeah.”

Xu Xianhuai rolled his eyes and said immediately: "Okay! I will inform Guan Chen right away. Given the relationship between us, I will definitely do my best to help."

As soon as Lin Wu saw him, she knew that he had not given up the idea of ​​finding out her true identity and wanted Guan Chen to get some information from her "friend".

But at this point, she couldn't care less.

"I'll send you the meeting place later." Lin Wu said, then hung up the video call.

She thought for a moment and decided to meet outside Pier 9.

After sending the message, Lin Wu got up and left the dark room. He went to his desk, turned on his computer to check information, and sent a message to Zheng Zhengqi, asking him to prepare the equipment and send it to Pier No. 9 tomorrow morning.

This busyness lasted until late at night. Lin Wu's eyes were red from staying up all night. He slept for three hours in a hurry and was woken up by the doorbell again.

She went downstairs and saw Lu Guichi outside. He was holding the breakfast he had just bought and waving at her happily.

"Wuwu, I'm here! I brought you some dumplings!"

Lin Wu opened the door and let him in.

When he got closer, Lu Guichi realized that Lin Wu looked tired and had dark circles under his eyes. He was surprised: "Wuwu, you stayed up all night again? Is it so difficult to make money this time?"

Lin Wu pressed his aching temple and said, "It's difficult. You go eat first and wait for me. I need to take a shower and change clothes."

"good!"

Lu Guichi was even more looking forward to it.

Lin Wu turned around and went in, going upstairs to wash up quickly.

When he went downstairs again, Lin Wu saw Lu Guichi struggling in front of the refrigerator.

Hearing the footsteps, he didn't even turn around for the first time: "Wuwu, did Jiu Ye make these dumplings for you? What's the filling? The dumplings I bought were filled with fennel, and I don't like them!"

Lin Wu paused and said, "Pickled pork, three-fresh shrimp, mushroom pork, cook whatever you want and eat them all. There are other foods in the cabinet next to it, take a look and see what you want to eat. If you don't find what you want, you can go to the next door, there are a lot in Bo Yuting's refrigerator."

"Is this true?" Lu Guichi turned around and looked at Lin Wu, "Wuwu, why are you so easy to talk to this time? Why did you agree so readily?"

Lin Wu walked over, patted his shoulder, and said, "This may be your last meal, so eat as much as you can."

"?"

Lu Guichi was shocked. “Is it so difficult to make money this time?”

Lin Wu hesitated to speak, and finally said: "It may be difficult for you."

"…" Lu Guichi: "Wuwu, are you saying that I'm stupid and will hold you back?"
