Guan Chen looked at her and continued, "There is only one possibility. Someone close to us told it. And the person in the recording also said that we would absolutely trust him. He also testified that we would absolutely trust the person who told the monster our information, so he knew about us. The monster was also sure that the information he got was correct."

After hearing this, Lin Wu spoke after a while; "But you came to China alone, without anyone else. So the only people who would leak our information to this monster would be me or someone close to Lu Guichi."

Guan Chen nodded.

This was exactly what he meant, so he said that there was a traitor around Lin Wu.

In fact, he also suspected that there was a traitor in Lu Guichi's body, but he couldn't see Lu Guichi now and had no way to remind Lu Guichi.

Lin Wu suddenly said: "I have a few questions."

Guan Chen said, "You say."

Lin Wu's eyes fell on the player. After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke: "It sounds like the two people in the recording are in the same group with the monster, otherwise the monster wouldn't know so much information. But is the monster one of these two people, or a third person who is just an ally of these two people?"

Guan Chen shook his head. "I don't know. But I am more inclined to believe that the monster is one of these two people. Think about it, this matter is also a very secretive matter. If one more person knows about it, wouldn't it be more risky? And the monster is not incapable of speaking human language."

Lin Wu said thoughtfully: "Then, there is a 30% chance that the other person is a member of the Huo family, or Leng Linfeng."

Guan Chen was startled: "Why?"

Lin Wu told Guan Chen about his previous conversation with the second cobbler, in which he speculated that the monster was in cahoots with the Huo family.

Before they left Pier 9, the Huo family had already evacuated all of their members, and only the monster and Leng Linfeng left Pier 9.

If two people work for the same master, it is possible that they have connection with each other.

"I see."

Guan Chen lowered his head and pondered.

Lin Wu added: "But from what I know about Leng Linfeng, the other person's speaking style is not very similar to his. They are connected to each other, and it is not like the Huo family's cautious and single-line style of action. So I am more inclined to believe that it might be the second Huo family member sent by the Huo family who kept in touch with the monster when it was acting, issued instructions, and handed over the artifacts."

"But this is not right." Guan Chen said, "If that's the case, the monster had already known our information before we went into the water, and the Huo family also knew about it. But didn't you say that you were not in the Huo family's sight before, and they didn't know you?"

Lin Wu frowned even more tightly.

This was what confused her, so she couldn't figure out what was going on.

If all the possibilities that have been thought of are wrong, and all the incorrect guesses with loopholes have been eliminated, the only possibility left is an incredible one.

However, Lin Wu was unwilling to even think about this possibility.

She looked at Guan Chen and asked, "Are you sure this part of the recording was extracted from my headphones? It wasn't recorded by you or Lu Guichi's headphones?"

Guan Chen nodded.

Lin Wu had a slight headache and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.

Guan Chen suddenly said, "By the way, your equipment is so advanced, is it possible that it is universal, that is...whatever information Lu Guichi and I record will be saved in your headphones?"

Lin Wu paused slightly.

Guan Chen explained: "Since they wanted to destroy the Ninth Pier and met us down there, they should have gone back to the scene to confirm it afterwards, right? But after Lu Guichi and I got ashore, we took off our headphones. We didn't wear them when we went into the water to look for you, and we didn't care where we put them. Maybe that's when they recorded it?"

Lin Wu was silent.

This recording was either made before they went into the water, or afterwards, since she only gave the headphones to the two of them at Pier 9.

This makes the most sense.

The least likely scenario is after landing. At that time, the outcome was already decided. Why would the two people in the recording discuss how to deal with them, and how could they use the information they got to gain their trust? It doesn't make sense.

So, taking a comprehensive view, the most likely time period can only be pushed back to before that monster pretended to be Lu Guichi to deceive them.

Thinking of this, Lin Wu's face became even gloomier.

Pianguan Chen was still asking at this time: "Do you have anyone to suspect?"

Lin Wu glanced around Guan Chen and paused at one place for a few seconds.

After a long silence, she suddenly said, "At least now it seems that among you, me, and Lu Guichi, the traitor is most likely to be on my side. Because very few people know about my affairs, and it is difficult for outsiders to find out. Not to mention, even fewer people know about my identity as the Black Fox. Lu Guichi...can't possibly know."

Guan Chen thought about what she said and said, "That's right. Before this, I didn't know you were the Black Fox."

Lin Wu continued calmly, "I also know about your relationship with Lu Guichi. I once ordered someone to bring Lu Guichi back from R Continent, so among my trusted confidants, your relationship with Lu Guichi is not unknown. As for Lu Guichi and my relationship... I have been in contact with him for so many years, and my confidants know even more."

“That makes sense.”

Guan Chen frowned and said, "Black Fox, after you recover, check the people around you carefully. This is a fatal weakness and you cannot allow them to stay for long."

Lin Wu's tone was extremely cold, and his eyes were dangerous: "I will find a way to dig out this traitor. But before that, I have something to ask you."

Guan Chen: "What?"

Lin Wu looked at him and said straight to the point: "What code did the fake Lu Guichi use to make you believe it?"

Guan Chen's expression was slightly sluggish.

Lin Wu said: "Knowing this will help me check the people around me."

Guan Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "I asked him a question, how did he manage to knock me out and tie me up in the first place."

Lin Wu's curiosity was aroused: "What's the answer?"

Guan Chen sat up unconsciously, his ears turned red, and after a long while he said in a muffled voice: "He lied to me."

Lin Wu: “?”

Guan Chen lowered his eyes, staring at the ground, and said slowly: "In fact, I have known him for a long time. Three years ago, he was in a bar in the red-light district of R Continent. At that time, I received a mission to find a drug lord hiding there. When I caught him, there was a female prostitute in the room. The drug lord had given her a glass of drugged wine. When I saw her, she was already under the effect of the drug."

He suddenly stopped.

Lin Wu asked: "What happened next?"

Guan Chen twisted his fingers and said after a while: "That is Lu Guichi."

Lin Wu: “????”
