Gu Chengbai's heart tightened. "I remember that Lu Guichi took two bags of minerals out of Sishui Prison, but he was not able to take them away in the end. What were those two bags of minerals? What were they?"
Lin Wu explained: "There is a map to the underground city in the Phoenix Tattoo, and they are the important ingredients for the formula that can make the map appear. The Huo family has already obtained the method of making the Phoenix Tattoo from Shi Ying, and this is the only thing missing."
Gu Chengbai said in a lost voice: "But the thing is with you now! They will definitely find ways to take it back. Now you still want to take it to the Danmaya quarrying town, isn't it more dangerous?"
Lin Wu glanced at him and explained patiently, "I'm not interested in the dungeon, nor do I want a map. But Lu Guichi should already know about it. Even if I don't go, he will find me, and the Huo family will know about it sooner or later. Instead of waiting for them passively, I might as well take the initiative myself."
"Besides, I still have some questions about the Buddha head that Lu Guichi took away from Pier 9, and only he can answer them for me. I also promised Lu Guiyan that I have to finish the job."
Gu Chengbai was speechless.
Lin Wu said: "I have decided, let's do it."
Gu Chengbai had no choice but to say, "Okay. I'll tell you something else, maybe it will be helpful to you."
"What is it?"
Lin Wu and Bo Yuting both attracted attention.
Gu Chengbai said: "I interrogated the Huo family member and got some basic information about the Huo family. For example, the Huo family is divided into two parts, the inner clan and the outer clan. The inner clan is responsible for making decisions and serving as the core, while the outer clan is responsible for executing their orders, receiving training, and being sent to various places to infiltrate and cultivate forces."
"This person is from an outsider and doesn't know much about the affairs of the insiders. But he knows that the rebellion that occurred within the Huo family two years ago was caused by an outsider, who later fled to China with the artifacts, which is what we know about. He said that the Huo family originally wanted to take the artifacts back, but an outsider came to the Huo family, causing them to suddenly change their minds."
"This outsider behind has close contacts with the insiders. Many decisions of the Huo family are made by him. He holds a very high status in the Huo family."
Bo Yuting asked, "Is it Lu Guichi?"
Gu Chengbai shook his head: "He said that his status was not enough to see that person, and he didn't know who it was. In addition, I also forced him to reveal several bases of the Huo family. I have already selected the people and plan to take over those places before the Huo family finds out. On the one hand, I want to cut off some of their wings, and on the other hand--"
He looked at Lin Wu and said, "This can be considered as a way for you...you guys to vent your anger. Maybe we can gain something else."
Lin Wu was startled and looked away. "Since the person has been given to you, it is your right to use him as you wish. I will not interfere."
Gu Chengbai hummed softly, then stood up and said, "Having said that, I will leave... Wuwu, if you need anything, just give me a call. I am available at any time."
Lin Wu didn't say anything.
Bo Yuting gave Gu Chengbai a look.
Gu Chengbai looked at Lin Wu reluctantly, then turned and walked towards the door.
Bo Yuting glanced at Lin Wu and said casually, "Well, it's a bit pitiful. I, your mortal enemy, feel a little sorry for you. For me, it's still early and we can have a meal together. Even if we have a meal together, it doesn't mean anything. It's just a thank you at most..."
Lin Wu remained silent.
Gu Chengbai heard it, slowed down, walked to the door slowly and held the door handle.
There was still no movement behind him. He was lost for a few seconds, then opened the door and went out.
However, Lin Wu finally couldn't help but look over. Seeing Gu Chengbai's lonely back, Lin Wu couldn't help but think of Xiang Qian's words.
In an instant, she was possessed by some strange impulse: "Wait."
Gu Chengbai at the door suddenly stopped and turned back.
Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips in annoyance.
Bo Yuting, who was standing next to her, pulled her up and said coquettishly, "Didn't Gu Chengbai say he had picked a restaurant? I want to see what's so good about the food there so that he can boast that you like it."
"If it's really delicious, I'll go find a chef to learn how to make it for you in the future. Hey, there's a saying that goes, if you want to capture a girl's heart, you have to capture her stomach. What if you get tired of my cooking in the future? I have to learn some new tricks."
Lin Wu: "...You have a lot of tricks now."
Bo Yuting laughed softly and said, "Give the little girl a chance to let her boyfriend learn more."
He looked at Gu Chengbai, "Did you drive here? Can we get some space?"
Gu Chengbai's eyes lit up slightly. For the first time, he found Bo Yuting so pleasing to the eye. He hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Let's go, then."
Seeing this, Lin Wu didn't say anything and followed silently.
In fact, Lin Wu's mind was a little empty, so she didn't notice when they arrived at the restaurant or what dishes Gu Chengbai and Bo Yuting ordered.
She just sat quietly on the side, listening to the two of them chatting and setting traps for each other in a sarcastic way, and occasionally saying something.
The food came and she ate quietly.
On the contrary, Gu Chengbai nervously asked her how it tasted.
Lin Wu: “Not bad.”
Although her evaluation was not high, Gu Chengbai was already very happy. He kept picking food for her and soon filled her plate.
"..."Lin Wu could only pass it to Bo Yuting.
Bo Yuting was eating the dish that was picked by Gu Chengbai, and his expression was a little indescribable.
But Gu Chengbai was like a blind man. He didn't notice that all the food went into his stomach. He just kept caring about Lin Wu.
Finally, Bo Yuting couldn't bear it anymore, interrupted Gu Chengbai, quickly ended the dinner and went back.
Gu Chengbai then drove them back to the hotel and followed them to Lin Wu's room eagerly, still reluctant to leave.
"Wuwu, this hotel isn't that great. How about changing to another one? The Gu family has related businesses here. It's not bad. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with your stay. It's not far from here. I'll take you there?"
Lin Wu refused: "No need. I need to rest now. If you have nothing else to do, you can really leave."
"All right."
Gu Chengbai looked back every few steps.
But when he turned around for the third time and found Bo Yuting still there, he turned back again and said, "What are you still doing here? You two don't live in the same room. Wuwu is already at the door of her room, so you can leave too!"
As he spoke, he glared at Bo Yuting, as if he was about to take action if Bo Yuting dared to stay.
“………”
Bo Yuting looked at Gu Chengbai speechlessly, who had so quickly turned his back on him, and said, "Lin Wu and I have something else to do. Besides, I have to take her things to her. Have you forgotten that the gifts you gave me are still in my room?"
"Then I can do it without you."
Gu Chengbai said immediately, pushing Bo Yuting to go to his room to get something.
Lin Wu shook his head, turned around and pushed the door open. After a while, he saw Gu Chengbai coming in with a few large bags. He looked around the room and asked Lin Wu worriedly if he needed anything and whether the layout here was comfortable.
Lin Wu's patience with others was not very good to begin with, and Gu Chengbai kept grumbling too much, which soon exhausted her patience.
Fortunately, Gu Chengbai himself was perceptive and noticed that Lin Wu was a little impatient, so he left very neatly this time.
Without Gu Chengbai's chattering, the room finally became quiet.
Lin Wu put her coat aside and went to wash up. But she caught a glimpse of the gifts and paused for a moment. She finally went over, sat cross-legged at the table, and opened them one by one.
Bo Yuting understood Lin Wu very well. These gifts were indeed not to Lin Wu's liking, which made Lin Wu frown as soon as he saw them.
"Too flashy..."
"Too cumbersome and troublesome..."
"Too high profile..."
"too……"
——Too weird.
She clearly didn't like them, but she still stared at them in a daze.
