At that time, Lin Wu had just finished comparing the part of the mural she had already painted with Bo Yuting. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she took a photo and sent it to Cheng Man.
Bo Yuting was very surprised that Lin Wu finished five A4 papers so quickly without any mistakes, which once again refreshed his perception of Lin Wu's good memory.
Lin Wu wanted to continue, but seeing that her eyes were a little red from staying up late, Bo Yuting advised her to go back to the bedroom and have a good sleep and not to rush.
Lin Wu couldn't argue with him, and with him and Gu Shiqing watching her, she couldn't go back to the study, so she agreed and went back to the bedroom to wash up.
Lu Guiyan’s message came at this time.
Lin Wu was about to go to bed when he heard the message notification sound. He clicked on it and saw that it was him: [I had someone follow the positioning signal you sent me earlier and monitor it for a long time. This signal has been staying in the same place since this morning and has not moved. ]
There is no doubt that when Lu Guichi left with the things, he must first deal with the things that were more important to him, which were brought out from the underground palace. So at this time, the place where Lu Guichi finally went was his ultimate destination, and it also gave us a glimpse of what he was going to do.
Lin Wu called Lu Guiyan directly.
The other party answered the call immediately, apparently having been waiting for her.
"Is that person really Lu Guichi?" Before Lin Wu could open his mouth, Lu Guiyan had already asked, his voice gloomy.
Lin Wu asked back: "Why do you say that?"
Lu Guiyan said, "The person my people followed and monitored was a strange young man. He didn't look like Lu Guichi, nor did he look like Jia Shen. He went southwest after leaving Danmaya. He passed through three towns without stopping. Today, he carefully observed the surroundings and checked into a small hotel when he was sure that no one was following him."
But what he didn't expect was that he had been targeted as early as the moment he left the mine. It was not because he was caught and abandoned by the people in the forbidden area as he thought that the Huo family started to investigate him.
Therefore, no matter how cautious he was, he would not be able to know and discover Lu Guiyan's men who had carefully prepared and hidden themselves long ago.
Lu Guiyan continued, "After he checked into the small hotel, my people pretended to be waiters to deliver necessities and the meals he ordered. After observing closely, he did not have any signs of wearing a human skin mask. He was much shorter than Lu Guichi, and even had a scar on his face. He looked sloppy. Such a person——"
Is it really Lu Guichi? Lin Wuxian asked, "Did he bring two bags?"
"He did bring it, but it wasn't the bag in the photo you sent me. But judging by the weight and shape, it did contain stones or something like that. When my people entered his room, they were sure that he attached great importance to those two packages." Lu Guiyan said.
Lin Wu said, "That's what was taken out of the mine. As for whether it was Lu Guichi... didn't you already know that Lu Guichi has the ability to change his appearance?"
Lu Guiyan was silent.
Lin Wu said: "Boss Lu, you contacted me, you didn't just want to say this nonsense, right?"
There was silence on the phone for a long time.
Lu Guiyan's voice sounded with a hint of gloom and coldness: "He has not come out since he entered that small hotel. Not long ago, my people booked a room next to his room. Through the small hole in the wall of the room, I vaguely heard that he had an appointment with someone to meet in two hours. Then he was going to send away the two packages he brought with him and go somewhere else."
It turned out that this was not Lu Guichi's final destination. He probably thought that carrying those two bags of ore was too cumbersome and easy to be discovered, so he wanted to give them to the Huo family first, and then he could go out and do his own thing? Lin Wu was a little surprised again: "Your people overheard in this way, but Lu Guichi didn't find out?"
"Why did he find out?" Lu Guiyan was puzzled.
Lin Wu said: "There is a hole in the wall, didn't he notice it?"
"..." Lu Guiyan said, "It's normal for a small hotel like his to have holes or not. I won't pay much attention to it, and I won't go out of my way to look for it. Besides, he has changed. If I hadn't been keeping an eye on him from the beginning, no one would have thought that he was in a small hotel like that? How could he have discovered it if he knew all this?"
Lin Wu said, "Isn't it just right that he is the contact? Those two bags of ore are very important to the Huo family. They will only return to the Huo family, and then we can find the Huo family's base camp. Without those two bags of ore, Lu Guichi will be alone, and no one from the Huo family will try to find him. Mr. Lu, it will be convenient for you to do whatever you want."
Lu Guiyan asked, "Do you know who he contacted?"
Lin Wu was puzzled. "Apart from the Huo family, who else could it be? Is this worthy of Mr. Lu's special mention?"
Lu Guiyan said slowly: "Mercenaries from the Seventeenth Regiment."
Lin Wu: “…”
Lu Guiyan repeated, "You heard it right. I was going to leave it alone, but the 17th Regiment... I remember it had nothing to do with the Huo family. And when you went down to the mine, it seemed that there were mercenaries from the 17th Regiment with you, right? I heard that Guan Chen was quite concerned about the 17th Regiment, and you also asked people to find the 17th Regiment."
Yes, they did ask their men to look for the remaining members of the 17th Regiment.
At the beginning, Lin Wu didn't have a good impression of the 17th Regiment, or even their leader Anna.
But in the mine, Anna died to protect them.
It was only logical that they should take care of the Seventeenth Regiment. So after they had rested, they immediately sent people to find out where the people from the Seventeenth Regiment were, hoping to give them a way to get on their feet.
I didn't expect that this would be the case when I heard the name of the 17th Regiment again.
How could the mercenaries of the 17th Regiment get involved with Lu Guichi? "What do you mean? Should I send someone to keep an eye on it, leave it alone, or what?" Lu Guiyan asked again, not hearing Lin Wu's words.
Lin Wu frowned.
No, the Huo family is definitely not a good group of people, and the people from the Seventeenth Regiment cannot get involved with the Huo family.
"Are you here? Send me your location and I'll go over there myself."
"You're coming in person?"
Lu Guiyan was surprised, "Think about it carefully. If you show up, it will be disadvantageous..."
"I should do it myself as an old friend has asked me to do." Lin Wu thought for a while, "Boss Lu, you should spread the news that Lu Guichi is there now, and someone from the Huo family will go to find him. Then I just need to stop the 17th Regiment, and the two bags of ore will be taken away by someone from the Huo family. As for Lu Guichi, he has important things to do, so he will definitely find a chance to leave. You just need to keep an eye on him and don't stop him."
Previously, Lu Guichi had not contacted the Huo family to meet up, on the one hand in order to avoid these people, and on the other hand he did not want the Huo family to find out what he had brought out of the underground palace.
She thought that this was why he didn't want to have direct contact with the Huo family, so he found a middleman to send the things over.
But he shouldn't look for the 17th Regiment.
Lu Guiyan seemed to frown, "How can you be sure that someone from the Huo family will go to look for him? Even if the news spreads, the Huo family won't be able to get there in these two hours."
Lin Wu threw back the quilt and got out of bed, saying calmly, "Spreading the news is not for the Huo family, but for us, including the people in the forbidden area. This way, when I show up there later, Lu Guichi and the Huo family won't be suspicious."
"Also, Mr. Lu, remember to move the time of his discovery two hours forward when you spread the news. We just wanted to catch him, so we suppressed the news. Now that we can no longer suppress it, we are releasing it. This makes more sense."
"What about the Huo family?"
Lu Guiyan was a little confused.
Lin Wu said: "I will inform you."
Lu Guiyan was startled, then he remembered a key person and spoke with interest in his tone.
"OK."
He added, "Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing are both with you, so you can tell them and save me the trouble."
After that, he hung up the phone.
Lin Wu exited the page, found Erpijiang's chat page, sent him a message about where Lu Guichi was, then found his clothes and changed into them quickly.
When Lin Wu was about to call Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing, he paused when he remembered that they were still injured.
In the end, Lin Wu did not go to find them and decided to go by herself. She went downstairs and called Zheng Yuan to arrange a helicopter.
