Lin Wu was still assigned to the same group with Mary and Ji Jing.
Originally, Lin Wu thought that Mary would continue to encourage her relentlessly, but she didn't expect Mary to be particularly honest. She didn't say a word to her. Instead, she frequently glanced at her thoughtfully, as if she was secretly thinking about something.
Lin Wu guessed that Mary must have heard what she said at breakfast.
She was not surprised and went to work patiently and slowly.
At the end of the day, Mary was quite patient and didn't look for her.
As soon as they returned to the cell at night, Lu Guichi and Bai Ning immediately closed the cell door.
Lin Wu saw bruises on Bo Ning's face and asked, "Did you get beaten?"
Bo Ning's mouth twitched. "It's hard for me to avoid getting beaten for asking that question you asked me. But fortunately, I asked 18 people and only two with bad tempers started fighting. They were strong and I was only hit accidentally. It's not a big deal. This is not important. I found out something you want to know."
Lin Wu sat down and said, "You say."
Bo Ning said solemnly, "That Rat Lord really has a fixed place to go. Around 7:30 in the evening, he slipped away by himself and walked towards Area D. Many prisoners covered for him."
"Area D? Is he going to go in there?" Lin Wu asked.
Bo Ning said, "The outer prison areas are heavily guarded, and the walls separating them are very high and made of very hard material. It's impossible to make a hole like here. They are also equipped with electric fences and satellite cameras. Anyone who approaches will be shot immediately. So he can't have entered Area D. There must be a place for him near Area D."
Lin Wu: “Anything else?”
Bo Ning shook his head. "I want to find out why those prisoners listen to him, but they still refuse to talk about anything related to Rat Lord. But the prison management here doesn't care about him. It must be the will of the higher-ups. This should be related to why he came here. Maybe the warden of his original prison gave him a heads-up, fearing that he would leak it out."
Even if you go to prison, you are not completely cut off from the outside world.
For example, you can apply to write and send letters for free, and you can send them anywhere. This way, you can expose the warden's scandals and threaten him.
"It's possible."
Lin Wu looked at Lu Guichi, "What did you find out?"
Lu Guichi sat next to Lin Wu and said, "Wuwu, you would never have thought that this Rat Master was also involved in the black industry before he came in. He said that he was wronged, but it is really not believable at all!"
"Where did you hear this?" Lin Wu asked.
Lu Guichi said, "That Rat Lord has several confidants. In addition to the guy we beat up that day, one of them came to me and told me."
"Take the initiative? Is the information he said reliable? Could it be that he did it intentionally at the instruction of Master Rat?" Bo Ning asked.
Lu Guichi shook his head: "It can't be intentional."
"Why?"
"Because of the fog."
"Just because...of what Miss Lin said?" Bo Ning didn't understand.
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Lu Guichi, you know, right?"
Lu Guichi nodded.
"Then you tell him." Lin Wu said.
Lu Guichi turned to Bo Ning and asked, "Five Oceans and Seven Islands, you should know this, right?"
Bai Ning said, "I know. I encountered pirates when I was a kid. I heard that there were five oceans and seven islands. Later, I asked around and found out that there were also power divisions among the pirates. Each of the five oceans and seven islands had a sea lord who was in charge of everything on the sea. Therefore, these twelve sea lords had interests with all walks of life. After all, anyone who goes to sea may get into trouble. It is also beneficial to make friends with them, just in case there is a chance of survival when you are in trouble at sea one day."
"That's right. Similarly, most of the things that are sold privately, no matter which industry chain or in the black market, go through the sea channels. That's why not many people are willing to offend those sea owners, so they all give them face."
Lu Guichi paused and looked at Lin Wu, "Among these twelve sea lords, the one with the surname Bai, the leader of the Five Oceans, is the greatest."
"What Wuwu mentioned this morning is the Baiyang Dujin Road, which means the route under the jurisdiction of Baihai. Dujin is a nickname for doing business with the people under the sea lord, and getting the biggest share of the profits. To be able to do this in the hands of those sea lords who are like plundering a passing goose shows that you are not an ordinary person, so those under the sea lord will give up the biggest share."
"So that's how it is. No wonder Mr. Rat's attitude towards Miss Lin changed. No wonder this man wanted to come and seek refuge with us and borrow our money to leave. It turns out that sentence carries such a powerful weight." Bai Ning suddenly realized.
Lu Guichi couldn't help but ask: "Wuwu, you... with your identity, you shouldn't be interacting with those people under Lord Bai Hai, could it be... you are with Lord Bai Hai..."
Lin Wu said: "Do you think it's possible?"
Lu Guichi was stunned.
"Master Bai Hai and I... well, we can say that we have no business dealings. I just use his name to scare Lord Rat."
"Someone like Shu Ye, who has dealings with all kinds of people in prison, must be familiar with all walks of life. If I don't say this, how can I scare him? Didn't you see that he came to inquire about us in person today. If he finds out that we don't have any important background, I'm afraid he will plan to take action immediately. We use the identity provided by Xu Xianhuai, and we can't use previous information to scare people." Lin Wu said lightly.
Lu Guichi grinned and said, "I see. I was wondering, after knowing you for so long, how come I didn't know you had any skills at sea. If you really did, it would be really rude of you not to ask me to help you get rich."
Bai Ning asked Lu Guichi: "How do you know all this? Is there any way to learn it? I think it will be useful when I go undercover in the future."
Lu Guichi raised his chin slightly: "You can't learn my way. I found out by accident when I came into contact with it myself when I suddenly wanted to do these three years ago. Some things can't be understood clearly without practice."
"That makes sense." Bai Ning rarely agreed with Lu Guichi.
Lin Wu glanced at Lu Guichi and said, "Let's get back to the point. What else did you learn from that person?"
Lu Guichi said, "It's like this. Lord Rat usually wanders around the prison. He has people helping him with his work, and he doesn't worry about sudden inspections from above. But he will contact the prison guards in various positions and departments, but it's just to chat. He doesn't bring anyone with him at this time, so that person doesn't know what he talks about with the prison guards."
"Oh, right, this Rat Master actually lives in a solitary cell! His confidants live next to him. The person who came to me said that Rat Master goes out every night, and no one knows what he does. Because he is not as valued by Rat Master as his other confidants, he has never been taken out by Rat Master at night."
At this point, Lu Guichi exclaimed, "Why do I feel that this confidant is coming to us because he is not valued by Master Rat and feels that he has no future with Master Rat, so he has no other choice but to come to us?"
