Uncle Qian was not mentally prepared and was frightened by the angry Mr. Xun. He did not hold the spoon firmly and the soup splashed onto the back of Lin Wu's hand.

Mr. Xun noticed it at the first sight, and without caring about being angry anymore, he quickly took the tissue on the table to wipe Lin Wu's hands.

The soup was still very hot, and there was a small red spot on the back of Lin Wu's hand.

Mr. Xun was very distressed: "Old Qian, what are you doing!"

Uncle Qian also felt distressed. He put down the bowl, opened the drawer, took a towel and went to the bathroom in the ward. He soaked his hands in cold water and came back to wipe Lin Wu's hands.

"Miss, I'm so sorry."

Lin Wu actually didn't feel much. This little bit of heat was nothing compared to the pain in her ribs now that the effect of the painkillers had worn off.

She didn't even frown.

"It's okay, Uncle Qian, you didn't mean it."

Seeing Uncle Qian feeling so guilty, Lin Wu turned to Old Xun and said, "Teacher, look at you, it's because you are too scary that you scared Uncle Qian. I'm still a patient now, you can't get angry anymore, or you'll scare me again, right?"

"You always have so many things to say."

Mr. Xun said unhappily that he asked Uncle Qian to go outside and ask the nurse for some ice.

Uncle Qian nodded and was about to go out.

"Don't bother yourself, I'm fine." Lin Wu said, "Uncle Qian, I'm hungry and want to eat. If you leave, I can't move and can't eat."

Uncle Qian turned around and asked uncertainly, "Are you really okay?"

Lin Wu's mouth twitched, "It's not that bad, it's really okay."

"Oh well."

Uncle Qian came back and continued to feed Lin Wu. After she finished eating, he served her another bowl. In the end, she almost ate half of it.

"That's enough."

Lin Wu turned his head to avoid the spoon that Uncle Qian extended to him and said.

Uncle Qian put down the bowl only after he saw that she had indeed eaten a lot.

Old Xun had been waiting for Lin Wu to finish eating. When he saw that she stopped eating, he said, "Why did the explosion suddenly happen under Pier 9 when everything was fine?" Although he was old, he was not stupid. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was not right.

Lin Wu shook his head and said calmly and affirmatively: "I don't know. We were just... staying inside, and suddenly the alarm sounded, and then we felt something was wrong, so we left. Fortunately, we got out of there in time. I think, maybe the Situ family is unwilling to fall, and wants to use us as a last resort for revenge."

Elder Xun felt that this made sense, and he couldn't help but get even more upset, saying, "This Situ family is such a piece of shit! They are trying to kill you! No, I have to settle accounts with them. You are all in the hospital, so why are their family members still fine, but just bankrupt? They should also have a taste of what it feels like to be in the hospital!"

Lin Wu raised his eyebrows but did not stop Mr. Xun.

Anyway, now that the Situ family has fallen, they have become abandoned by the Huo family. She is not worried that Mr. Xun will be targeted by the Huo family because of touching anyone from the Situ family.

"That's right."

Xun Lao changed the subject and asked curiously, "Wuwu, when did you become... a student of the second leatherworker in Ghost Street?"

Naturally, Mr. Xun had heard of the place called Ghost Street.

This time he suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. Several major forces in the capital were extremely alert, thinking that the second cobbler was dissatisfied with living in Ghost Street and wanted to strike somewhere else.

Later, when they learned that the second cobbler was only doing it for Lin Wu, everyone was even more unable to believe it.

Lin Wu is Erpijiang's student... Doesn't that mean that if Erpijiang is gone, all the places in Ghost Street will belong to her? You know, every inch of land in Ghost Street is worth a lot of money, and it represents extraordinary significance!

Lin Wu groaned and said, "Two years ago, I went to Ghost Street to gamble. I met him at that time. I gambled with him and lost. According to the rules of Ghost Street, I had to keep one hand. But he thought I was talented and asked me to learn from him. Later, he became my teacher."

If you think about it carefully, the reason why she went to Ghost Street to gamble was actually because the casino in Ghost Street was the place with the widest and most complete source of information in Beijing.

There, gambling can solve most problems.

There are many things that can be used as stakes, ranging from money to valuable jewelry to rare objects to news.

At that time, she was quite interested in the artifacts that the rebellious Huo family had used. Since she had some free time, she checked it out and learned a lot about Ghost Street.

Because she was quite ambitious at that time, and wanted to get involved in the business of Ghost Street and take it to the next level.

But what she didn't expect was that even after winning bets against more than a dozen people, she still couldn't get the information she wanted to know.

The casino probably thought that if she continued to win, they would lose both face and money, and would have to pay a large sum of money, so they invited the second cobbler who was said to win every time he gambled.

Her favorite thing to do was to challenge the impossible. The second cobbler piqued her interest, so she agreed. Unexpectedly, she lost, and thus became the second cobbler's apprentice by accident.

Old Xun and Uncle Qian seldom heard Lin Wu talk about her past, so when they heard it now, they were stunned.

"You...you..." It took Mr. Xun a long time to utter a word, "You were only sixteen at that time! How dare you go to Ghost Street to gamble at such a young age?! What would you do if something happened to you, your uncle Qian? You..."

Uncle Qian also looked at Lin Wu disapprovingly.

Going to a place like Ghost Street is like gambling with your life!

Lin Wu was lucky that the second cobbler did not pursue the matter. If a quarrel had really broken out, would she have been able to come back?

Thinking of this, Uncle Qian became even more scared.

"Miss, how can you be so brave! Master Xun and I knew that what you did before was a bit dangerous, but we didn't expect... it was so dangerous!"

Lin Wu didn't take it seriously and comforted him casually, "I won't do anything I'm not sure of. I dared to go to Ghost Street because I was confident enough. They didn't have the strength to take my life. Besides, it's not like I don't know how to gamble. Before that, I met a few friends, one of whom was good at gambling and taught me a few tricks, which was enough."

Old Xun and Uncle Qian thought at the same time: Teaching this kind of thing? ? What kind of friends are these? Old Xun hesitated as he looked at Lin Wu with a distressed, complicated, and sullen look.

He was reluctant to talk about Lin Wu who was lying on the hospital bed. After thinking about it, he felt that the root of all this was Lin Wu's hateful adoptive parents.

He poked the ground heavily with his cane and said, "It's all the fault of your helpless parents! If they hadn't treated you badly, would you have had to work so hard at such a young age? Damn the Lin family! I'm going to take care of them too!"

He secretly hated himself. He should have insisted on bringing Lin Wu to his side. He shouldn't have given up just because Lin Wu said she didn't want to come! Lin Wu's face was slightly cold, and he didn't say anything.

Uncle Qian quickly nudged Mr. Xun with his elbow.

Xun Lao realized it later and said quickly, "Wuwu, I'm sorry, I won't mention them anymore. Do you want to eat anything else? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Wu shook his head, seeing that it was getting late, and said, "I'm fine now, I just need to take care of myself. Teacher, you can go back and have a rest."
