After Lu Guichi's initial shock, his face suddenly darkened.

Perhaps influenced by him, the snake man was keenly aware of something and hissed towards the door with his teeth bared, looking very dangerous.

But the danger soon ended when Lin Wu stepped hard on his tail.

The snake man looked back at Lin Wu in surprise, then lowered his head as if he understood what she meant, and swam back to the stone platform holding his tail and coiled around it.

The only people left in the standoff were Lu Guichi and the two people at the door.

Lu Guichi stared at Kate, his eyes showing undisguised murderous intent, and said coldly: "You should have been smarter and stayed away when you heard my voice. But you came up to me, so don't blame me..."

"etc."

Bo Yuting suddenly spoke and took a step forward to stand in front of Kate.

This action stunned Lin Wu and Lu Guichi.

"What are you doing?!" Lu Guichi said in disbelief, "Bo Yuting, I don't know when you came, but you must have heard what happened next, right?!"

Bo Yuting raised his eyebrows slightly, "I've heard almost everything."

"So you're still protecting him?"

Lu Guichi pointed at Kate and said, "He is from the Huo family! Wuwu's tattoo is special and one-of-a-kind. Once he spreads this news back to the Huo family, do you know how dangerous Wuwu will be? Don't you like Wuwu? Then what you should do most is to kill him like me! Instead of protecting him!"

Bo Yuting hummed and turned to look at Kate, "He invited me to kill you, what do you say?"

Kate: “…”

Kate looked at him with a nonsense expression: "What do you think?"

Bo Yuting asked back: "Then are you still hiding it? Don't blame me for not reminding you. Let alone Lu Guichi, if you are a potential danger, Lin Wu and I will take action."

“………”

Kate frowned, her eyes fixed on the stone platform in the distance.

Their words made Lin Wu and Lu Guichi feel confused.

"What are you guys thinking?" Lin Wu regained some of his rationality and calmness. He looked at Kate suspiciously and asked Bo Yuting, "Did you discuss anything on the way here?"

"No discussion, but I have a few questions I want to clarify first."

Bo Yuting gave Lin Wu a calming look, turned to Lu Guichi, and asked, "Are you saying that he was sent by the Huo family just like you?"

"yes!"

Lu Guichi responded in a strong voice.

Bo Yuting said: "But I checked. Kate and Jia Shen are considered old people in the forbidden area. How could they be from the Huo family? Did you arrange such an identity a long time ago?"

"Of course not!" Lu Guichi told Bo Yuting everything in detail to make him make up his mind to get rid of Kate. "In order to ensure the success of their actions, the Huo family always keeps a low profile and rarely provokes other forces, let alone interacts with them. How could they send their own people into the forbidden area so early?"

"Not long ago, the Huo family found out that there was something they wanted here, but this place is already a forbidden area, so it's not easy to interfere. So they found an excuse and forged an identity for themselves to communicate with the forbidden area, so that they could enter this mine openly and take away what they wanted without anyone noticing."

"In order to facilitate their work, the Huo family asked the Forbidden Territory to send two responsible persons to the Forbidden Territory. On the surface, it was for communication, but in fact, they had already arranged for people to replace these two people. This way, they could get what they wanted without being discovered by the Forbidden Territory's top management."

Bo Yuting understood, "Kate and Jia Shen are the unlucky ones you picked? You kidnapped them and disguised yourself as them to take their place?"

"That's right." Lu Guichi said.

Lin Wu frowned and asked, "You have kidnapped someone, so either you keep pretending, or you make these two people disappear legitimately. Otherwise, if they return to the forbidden area, you will be exposed, right? Then what's the point of doing so much?"

Lu Guichi turned around and looked at her. "First, considering the dangers they encountered while coming down, it's normal for Kate and Jia Shen to die here. We can only express our deepest apologies. The people up there can testify to how dangerous it was. Second, even if they hadn't died here—"

He paused, "I can also hypnotize them and make them think they have experienced those things."

Because he is not an ordinary person and has special abilities.

The former...

Lin Wu said coldly: "Yes, this is indeed foolproof. After all, you already knew how dangerous it would be down there, and you are absolutely sure that Kate and Jashen will not be able to get out."

Lu Guichi pursed his lips and did not respond. His gaze returned to Kate, and he was filled with murderous intent again.

"What's important now is that he already knows that Wuwu's tattoo is special! If we leave him here, there will be endless troubles. We must—"

He raised his hand, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

But just as he was about to take action, he was interrupted by Bo Yuting again.

"I haven't finished asking questions yet."

"Master Bo Jiu!"

Lu Guichi raised his voice slightly, with obvious anger and dissatisfaction, "You didn't talk so much nonsense before. Do you really care about Wuwu's safety?"

"That's why I want to ask you clearly because I care about you. Otherwise, if you kill him, you will never have the choice of living in front of Lin Wu again."

Lu Guichi was extremely confused by Bo Yuting's words.

Lin Wu behind was even more confused.

But thinking back on what had happened since she met Kate, she suddenly had an incredible guess and looked at Kate in surprise.

At the same time, Bo Yuting turned around and asked Kate: "Lu Guichi said that you and him were arranged by the Huo family. Explain why you are related to the Huo family?"

In fact, ever since Kate and Bo Yuting chased here and found that there was not only Lin Wu, but also one more person, and that person was Lu Guichi, his head had been buzzing with pain.

What he heard next was beyond his expectations, and the shock it brought to him was no less than if Lin Wu and Bo Yuting had announced in front of him that they were going to get married.

Fortunately, he could still accept the previous part, but the matter of Lin Wu's tattoo made him feel unprecedentedly difficult and panicked.

This kind of thing must be kept secret! ! Especially the Huo family who have always been against them must not know about it, otherwise they will definitely take action against Lin Wu, and the consequences will be unpredictable!

But when Kate was thinking about how to deal with this matter, Lu Guichi's next words hit him head-on! He - Kate, is actually a member of the Huo family? ! With a dark face, he faced the gazes of the three people and said: "Bo Yuting, don't you and Wuwu already know a lot of things? Even if you are a member of the Huo family, I can't be! You should be very clear about this!"

"I know."

"Then why are you asking?"

"Because you're Kate now."

"I……"

He choked.

Lu Guichi, who was not far away, scolded, "Why are you pretending? Do you think I will believe you and let you go just because you pretend you are not Kate?!"

“………”

Kate looked at Lu Guichi, "I didn't know Kate was a member of the Huo family. I didn't even know Jia Shen... It turned out to be you, Lu Guiyan's younger brother."

"You keep pretending..."

Before Lu Guichi could finish speaking, Kate noticed that Lin Wu looked at him with deep and ambiguous eyes. He couldn't help but panic and thought, forget it!

Although the mission is important, we cannot let Wuwu suspect that he is a member of the Huo family!

Thinking of this, Kate said, "Then take a good look at who I am."
