Lin Wu immediately recognized who he was.
She frowned slightly, subconsciously reached for the dagger in her sleeve, and asked in a slightly cold voice, "Why are you here?"
The man did not speak. Instead, there was a rustling sound, as if he sat up and was searching for something.
The next moment, there was a slight "click" sound, and a bright light suddenly appeared in front of Lin Wu's eyes.
There had been no light for a long time, so Lin Wu turned his head away, closed his eyes and relaxed for a while before looking over again.
The other person turned on a flashlight, and under the bright light, Lin Wu could see his face clearly.
His eyebrows and eyes are dark and handsome, his nose is straight, and his narrow eyes are deep and meaningful.
When he looked at her, his expression was complicated, as if he was missing her and being alert, as if he had never expected to see her here.
In fact, Lin Wu didn't expect to see him here.
——Leng Linfeng who should have been in North City at this moment.
"I think I should be the one asking you why you are here?" Leng Linfeng said slowly.
Lin Wu noticed that what he was wearing was not a diving suit, but casual clothes, which were wet by the water she brought with her.
He must have been here for quite a long time.
Because he had a tired look between his eyebrows, bloodshot eyes, and a thin stubble on his chin. It was obvious that he hadn't groomed himself for at least a day and was in a state of high mental tension.
So, he entered here on the same day as Bo Yuting?
Lin Wu took a look and then looked away, quickly took out a spare flashlight from his bag, then stood up and looked around.
This looked like a naturally formed cave. The entrance to the cave where she fell was three or four meters high on the right. It was surrounded by stone walls. There was only a passage five or six meters behind Leng Linfeng. There was a bag on the steps, which should have belonged to Leng Linfeng.
It seems that there are many secrets under the Ninth Pier, and the storage area outside is just a cover. This is the real storage area of the Ninth Pier.
I just don’t know what I will see after entering that passage, and what the Situ family has hidden here.
But according to the information she found, the Ninth Pier was not the territory owned by the Situ family from the beginning, but was acquired from others after they rose to prominence, about two years ago.
If her guess was correct, the ones who actually took a fancy to this place should be the Huo family, but it was not convenient for them to come forward and take it over through the Situ family.
In this case, it is not surprising that Leng Linfeng would appear here.
——He is also an ally of the Huo family.
Lin Wu's gaze returned to Leng Linfeng.
Just now, he was facing the light. Now the light shone on his face, and Lin Wu found that his face was very pale, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. She didn't know if it was because he bumped into something when he saved her just now.
This made Lin Wu's voice less cold when he spoke.
"You should know why I am here. I have never given up the investigation. But seeing you, I am absolutely sure that the direction of my investigation is correct - the one who secretly supported the development of the Situ family to this day is indeed the Huo clan."
Hearing this, Leng Linfeng drooped his eyes slightly, propped himself up, and coughed uncontrollably a few times.
Lin Wu frowned, "I never owe anyone a favor. Where are you hurt? I have painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, bandages, alcohol and other things in my bag. I'll leave them for you, and you can deal with it yourself."
"No need. I was indeed injured, but not from saving you."
After Leng Linfeng finished speaking, he walked back to get his bag.
Lin Wu followed and shone the flashlight towards the entrance. Inside was a long passage, and no one knew where it led to.
Leng Linfeng paused and tilted his head to look at her, "I can understand that you were still paying attention to me after you went to the capital, and you looked for me after you found that I was missing, and then you came here. Did you come in for me?"
Lin Wu ignored him and asked again, "When did you come in?"
Leng Linfeng pulled the corner of his mouth in self-mockery and said, "Yesterday, in the afternoon."
After Bo Yu Ting.
Lin Wu immediately asked, "Did you meet anyone or anything after you came in?"
"Why are you asking that?"
Leng Linfeng did not answer but asked instead, walked down the stairs with his bag and stopped in front of Lin Wu.
He said, "Lin Wu, I have reminded you many times not to pursue this matter any further. Do you know that you were almost finished? If I had not been leaving and happened to arrive here and stopped when I heard the noise, I would not have been able to save you and you would have fallen and been injured. If you were here alone, you would never have found a way to leave. And the danger here is so great that no matter how good you are, you will die here!"
He stretched out his hand to Lin Wu: "Come with me. I have finished my work and am leaving. You will not be in danger if you follow me."
Lin Wu looked at him motionlessly, and suddenly said: "It was the Huo family who asked you to come."
Leng Linfeng didn't say anything.
In Lin Wu's opinion, it was the same as tacit consent.
"Then what are you doing here?" Lin Wu asked again.
Leng Linfeng frowned and still did not answer.
But Lin Wu was already able to infer a lot of information.
The Situ family is about to collapse. The Huo family's most urgent matter right now is to move the artifacts from the Ninth Pier. There is a 50% chance that Leng Linfeng came here for this matter.
But the bag Leng Linfeng carried didn't seem to contain much.
The funerary objects are not with him.
There are two possibilities: first, Bo Yuting has already obtained the artifact; second, the artifact is still somewhere and no one has found it.
Leng Linfeng said, however, that he had already finished his job, so she could only guess that the Huo family’s intention was not to move the artifacts, but to destroy them?
After all, the artifact came from the Huo family, so even if it was real, the information on it - the Huo family knew it, and it didn't matter whether they got it or destroyed it. If Leng Linfeng came in and found that another group of people came to take the artifact, he would probably destroy it on the spot.
In this situation, she could only hope that Bo Yuting had seen the artifact early and remembered the information on it.
But if that was the case, why did she have that experience outside just now? Why did the fake Lu Guichi want the Buddha head? Could it be that the Buddha head was the burial object that everyone wanted? If the Buddha head was the burial object, it meant that Leng Linfeng was doing something else here. What was so important that the Huo family sent Leng Linfeng to deal with it personally? Moreover, she discovered that there was something wrong with the Buddha head through the mysterious technique, and the fake Lu Guichi had not discovered it before, which meant that he did not know that there was something wrong with the Buddha head at first. If the Buddha head was really the burial object that everyone was looking for, why didn't the fake Lu Guichi know that there was something wrong with it?
Unless, the fake Lu Guichi is not from the Huo family.
Even the strange object that Bo Yuting encountered before was not sent by the Huo family to guard the funerary objects.
This proves something very troublesome - there is a third party force here.
Leng Linfeng took a deep breath and interrupted Lin Wu's guess: "I can't tell you what I do. But I can tell you that the hole you came out of is one-way and you can't go back. Now you only have one way, and that is to leave with me."
Lin Wu looked past him and behind him.
Leng Linfeng said coldly: "I won't let you in. It's getting very dangerous in there now. In fact, the entire storage area will be very dangerous. You and I only have forty minutes to leave here."
