Bring someone?

Lin Wu thought about it for a while and understood.

At this time, Gu Shiqing was already in the living room on the first floor. Opposite him sat a young man who was tall and thin, with an ordinary look. He would not stand out in the crowd.

But this young man had a pair of extremely bright and sharp eyes, which were so sparkling that they made him look completely different.

And on the open space at his feet, a scarred man in black lay motionless.

This is the scene that Lin Wu saw when he came down.

Gu Shiqing smiled immediately and stood up and called her, "Wu Wu."

Lin Wu nodded in agreement.

The young man also stood up and called out respectfully, "Master, Zheng Yuan has fulfilled his mission and brought the person back."

Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing looked at each other and asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Wu squatted down to check the man and waved his hand to let Zheng Yuan explain.

Zheng Yuan recognized Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing, and greeted them politely in turn, saying, "This is the one who escaped from the mine and was later caught by the Forbidden Zone."

Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing were stunned for a moment and also looked down.

The man was unconscious with his eyes closed.

Lin Wu asked, "Did you give me drugs?"

Zheng Yuan nodded: "When I took him away, he was not very honest, so I drugged him."

"Wait, if you take the person away, will Fu Li be willing?" Gu Shiqing asked.

Zheng Yuan replied honestly, "I didn't want to. So I took him away without telling Mr. Fu, and when I left, I also caused some trouble for him—in the name of the Huo family."

Bo Yuting was curious: "What trouble did you get into?"

Zheng Yuan: "I set fire to an ammunition warehouse of Fu Dangjia."

Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing’s expressions were blank for a moment: “…”

Zheng Yuan said with great enthusiasm: "On the way back, the people I arranged in the forbidden area also reported to me that the head of the Fu family was furious and decided to kill all the members of the Huo family after careful investigation. They did not suspect that it was done by others."

Two people: “…………”

Why do I feel a little sympathy for Fu Li for some reason?

Lin Wu stood up and went to the coffee table to pour a glass of cold water. When he came back, he passed by Zheng Yuan and patted his shoulder in affirmation, "It seems that you have learned a lot from following the third brother. Keep working hard in the future."

Zheng Yuan said shyly, "Thank you for your encouragement, Master. I will work hard."

The two people next to him: “…” This encouragement is really hard to describe in words.

Lin Wu squatted down and splashed the water on the man's face, waking him up immediately.

"Cough... cough cough..." The man choked on water and started coughing violently.

Lin Wu raised his hand.

Zheng Yuan stepped forward and took the cup.

Soon, the man on the ground woke up, noticed several people, and stepped back in shock.

"What are you afraid of? We are all good people. We won't attack you. We just ask you a few questions." Lin Wu spoke slowly.

Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing looked at her at the same time in rare tacit understanding, without interrupting.

The man had an unsightly expression, clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Zheng Yuan said dutifully, "Master, I have asked him some questions. The current known information is that after leaving the mine that day, his companions stayed behind to cover their retreat, and he and another person left with the minerals. Then the two of them had a conflict, and he fought with them, but was defeated and knocked unconscious. When he woke up, he had been taken to the forbidden area by Fu Dangjia's people."

"He refused to say anything else, such as what conflict had occurred and who was with him."

After listening to this, Lin Wu asked directly: "Is the person with you Lu Guichi?"

The man was stunned, his eyes blank.

Lin Wu said: "Let me put it another way. Is that person not a normal person? Does he have special abilities that humans don't have?"

Hearing this, the man's eyes revealed a trace of fear and disgust that was hard to conceal, but he still didn't say anything.

Lin Wu was not in a hurry and turned his head to look at Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan agreed and turned to go upstairs.

This puzzled Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing: "What did you tell him to do?"

"You will know soon." Lin Wu said.

Zheng Yuan quickly brought back a jade box for Lin Wu.

Lin Wu took out a very exquisite antique pocket watch and half-knelt in front of the man.

The man looked at Lin Wu warily.

The next moment, Lin Wu suddenly stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of his eyes, and a golden light flashed quickly in his dark eyes.

The man stiffened and his eyes became unfocused.

For just a few seconds, his face was blank.

"From now on, you just answer whatever I ask you." Lin Wuqing's clear voice seemed to have an indescribable magic that attracted people to indulge in it unconsciously.

The man said "yes" stupidly.

Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing at the back both looked surprised.

Zheng Yuan stood there as if he was not surprised.

This is why he brought the person back. Lin Wu has his own way.

Lin Wu said: "Who was the person who left with you?"

"...Master Chi..."

"Master Chi? Who is this person?"

"I don't know. I just know that the people above are very polite to him and listen to him. We have to obey him too..."

So Lu Guichi’s real surname is Chi?

That's quite a coincidence.

Lin Wu asked calmly, "What conflict did you have that caused you to fall out?"

The man said blankly: "Master Chi... he lied to us and the people above him. There is something about him that we have never seen before and he has never mentioned it before... and he is not going to tell us..."

Sure enough, it was because of the things brought out from the underground palace.

"So he knocked you out and left you?"

"yes."

"Why do you ask to see someone in the forbidden area?"

"…We need to report back Master Chi’s matter…"

"Aren't you afraid that the people you planted in the forbidden area will be discovered?"

"The most important thing is to report back to Master Chi. As long as we can do this, it will be fine..."

"And what happened next?"

"The person I met...is no longer one of ours. He was replaced...I didn't have the chance to spread the news."

Lin Wu paused.

Gu Shiqing, who was standing behind him, felt strange and said, "Wuwu, ask him what the name of the person he is looking for is and who he is."

Lin Wu asked as he was told.

The man gave a name.

Gu Shiqing understood, "This person has long been replaced by one of my people. Because the higher-ups felt that it was unsafe for me to go into battle personally, they placed a few of their own people in my place as a backup. This person and several others were close to Kate, so they targeted them."

Lin Wu: “…”

Bo Yuting: “…”

It's actually like this.

Bo Yuting said sincerely: "I will never think that Zhang Shan is lucky again. Second brother, you are no match for him. Next time you target someone, tell us in advance so that we can check if they are from the Huo family."

“………”Gu Shiqing said to him speechlessly with a dark face, “Get lost.”

Lin Wu continued to ask the man: "Then why did you say those things to Fu Li later?"

The man stiffly replied: "I don't have a chance anymore. I want to pull more people into the water. Maybe when there is chaos in the future, I will have a chance to leave again."

Lin Wu: “…”

This was a simple reason she had never imagined.

Lin Wu asked: "Where is the Huo family's base camp?"

The man obediently opened his mouth to speak, but when he was about to speak, a look of pain suddenly appeared on his face.

Lin Wu felt something was wrong and asked again tentatively.

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly convulsed all over.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing immediately stepped forward to hold the man down, and Zheng Yuan also hurried forward to help.

But the man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and then froze without moving.

Bo Yuting checked and said, "...He died. The cause is unknown."

Lin Wu frowned, realized something, asked them to move aside, bit his finger, drew a talisman out of thin air, and hit the man.

After a moment, she said with a sullen face, "This person has been placed under a restriction that prohibits him from telling others what the person who cast the spell has forbidden. If he is forced to tell others, he will die."
