He asked in astonishment, "You know the secret? The Huo family won't let you go? It's just a figurine. Given their style of doing things, they won't do that. Could it be... did you do something else? Did you do something to provoke Leng Linfeng when you saw him, to the point that he couldn't help himself?"

Lin Wu: “?”

In her teacher's eyes, is she so childish? ?

No, that's not the point.

Lin Wu frowned and asked, "Don't you know?"

"Know what?"

The second cobbler was confused and puzzled.

Lin Wu could see him now, and seeing that he did not look fake, he told Erpijiang the truth about the monsters he encountered in the base under Pier 9.

Hearing this, the second cobbler's face changed again.

"Are you sure there are these things in there?"

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes." Lin Wu said, "Not only me, but my friend Guan Chen who went in with me also saw those things and fought with them."

However, Leng Linfeng only saw her and did not see Guan Chen.

Guan Chen should not be noticed by the Huo family.

Lin Wu turned around and continued, "Remember, there are a lot of those monsters under Pier 9. Each room where they are held has a card that seems to record their own situation. I remember one monster was sent in two months ago. The others were sent in at different times, some for half a year, and some for one or two years. In short, they have been sent to the base under Pier 9 one after another."

It can be inferred that these monsters are the result of some secret project carried out by the Huo family.

Moreover, the Huo family has been doing this for a very long time.

The second cobbler looked serious. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Don't most of the cargo at the Ninth Pier pass through Ghost Street? You really don't know?" Lin Wu asked in surprise.

"Do you think the teacher is deliberately lying to you?"

The second leatherworker's mouth twitched slightly, and he patiently explained, "Generally speaking, for goods that pass through the Ghost Street channel, I usually have people check some of them to prevent any unclear things from falling on my head and being set up. But the goods of the Situ family... you also... know that they belong to the Huo family. Although they didn't say it explicitly, I guessed that they were handled by the Huo family. So why would I have people check them? Wouldn't it make myself unhappy?"

That’s true.

Lin Wu didn't ask any further.

The second cobbler was puzzled again and said, "I have never noticed that the Huo family is creating such monsters. Over the years, I have never seen the Huo family do anything other than disintegrate and infiltrate local forces. And with so many monsters, once they are exposed, you can imagine how many people will target them... With their style, how could they do such a thankless and risky thing... I don't know where they found so many people..."

"etc!"

Lin Wu suddenly interrupted.

The second leatherworker looked at her, "What?"

A very incredible idea popped up in Lin Wu's mind.

"You just mentioned looking for someone... I once heard Leng Linfeng say that the Huo family secretly contacted different aristocratic families to select people. What do they want to do? They won't just select someone to do... this, right?"

The second leatherworker's eyelids twitched, and he said in disbelief: "Which family would be willing to send their people to them to be made... If so, those family forces probably don't know that their people have become like that. But the Huo family is very cautious, and basically they will not do such a thing that offends so many forces!"

"Even if he really did choose someone to do this... he would only choose orphans."

The second cobbler said firmly.

Lin Wu did not question his words. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then I will ask someone to check the origins and identities of these monsters."

The second cobbler asked, "How do you check?"

Lin Wu said, "I memorized the information on the cards on the walls of several places where monsters were imprisoned. Those are not random data. I should be able to find something by starting with them. Now, although the artifacts are gone, I have a direction to investigate further, which is not a loss."

The second cobbler saw that she came up with an idea so quickly that he didn't know what to say.

After a while, the second cobbler said with a headache: "Can't you just be quiet? You need to recover now! Recovery is the most important thing, put other things aside for the time being."

"Even if I want to stop, can the Huo family stop?"

Lin Wu's question made the second cobbler even more confused.

Lin Wu said without thinking: "There is Bo Yuting."

As soon as the words came out, Lin Wu was stunned.

——Bo Yuting hasn’t woken up yet, and no one knows when he will wake up.

She suddenly wanted to see Bo Yuting, even if it was just to take a glimpse of him through the glass window.

Lin Wu said simply: "Teacher, please go find a wheelchair."

The second leatherworker had a bad feeling: "What?"

"I want to go see Bo Yuting." Lin Wu said.

The second leatherworker's eyebrows jumped and he refused directly: "You can't move for the time being, and you can't get out of bed! That kid is lucky and will be fine."

Lin Wu liked to hear the second half of the sentence.

She thought for a moment and said, "Then find two tablets."

Second leatherworker: “?”

Lin Wu said, "I can't go, but can video chat be used? Leave your tablet with me, take it over, and call me when you get there. I want to see him."

Second leatherworker: “…………”

You are amazing.

Lin Wu urged him: "Hurry up."

The second leatherworker pinched his brows and said, "Not now."

Lin Wu was startled: "Why?"

The second cobbler was about to say something, but finally said, "The Bo family is here. As you know, my status as a teacher is special, so it's not good for me to have too much contact with them. I'll go over there later when the Bo family leaves."

"is that so?"

Lin Wu was a little skeptical.

The second cobbler remained calm and said, "Of course. Don't you believe the teacher?"

Lin Wu shook his head.

The second cobbler didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he asked, "Are you hungry now?"

Lin Wu also shook his head.

"Then let's have dinner later." The second cobbler looked at the time, got up and put a new pillow under Lin Wu's head to make her more comfortable. He said, "You should sleep a little longer. Your piano teacher came here earlier. He seemed very worried about you. I'll let someone tell him that you're awake."

Lin Wu nodded, and just as he was getting tired after talking for so long.

The second cobbler asked again, "Oh, and there's Madam Gu. She came here too, and she seemed worried about you, too. Do you want her to know?"

He was talking about Chi Yangzhi.

Lin Wu subconsciously glanced at himself who was bandaged all over, and hesitated, "Tell her. If she asks how I am, just say that I have recovered very well."

For some reason, she didn't want Chi Yangzhi to know too much bad news about her.

The second cobbler looked at Lin Wu again, nodded, stood up and left.

Lin Wu looked at his back, fatigue surged up over her, and her head started to feel dizzy.

When she thought of something, she became particularly clear-headed.

At the moment when the second leatherworker was about to leave, Lin Wu couldn't help but asked, "Master, do you know what the phoenix tattoo means to the Huo family?"

The second shoemaker stopped suddenly.
