Chapter 394 No one would cheat Uncle Yuan like you



Even Yuan Fengrong, who was sitting next to him, had a frozen expression and frowned when he looked at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu didn't say anything else, and neither of them spoke. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became unusually quiet.

After a long while, Yuan Fengrong forced a smile, "Daosheng, what vine are you talking about? Uncle Yuan knows that you and Man'er met abroad, but you returned to China much later than Man'er. You must have gone to do something somewhere else, right? Is this thing you are talking about something you saw when you went out this time?"

Cheng Wenwei seemed to be reminded by these words, and immediately said: "Do you want to find out what this thing is? It's easy. There are many records in the Xuanmen Treasury. We will send someone to find it for you, and we will contact you as soon as we find it."

Facing the seemingly sincere and caring looks from the two men, Lin Wu clenched her palms and, without beating around the bush, ruthlessly exposed the two men's avoidance of the topic.

"Since the two sect masters can't remember what this is, I'll just take the trouble to remind you."

"Eighteen years ago, didn't four of your five elements attack the family of the previous funeral master just because of the dried blood vine that could be used as a detoxification for the Lingnan trip?"

"Afterwards, you chose to keep quiet. But not long after, you suddenly received dried blood vines from an unknown person. And the dried blood vines you received were stained with the blood of the previous master's family."

Yuan Fengrong and Cheng Wenwei's faces suddenly turned ugly.

Lin Wu's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Now, do you two know how to answer me?"

The atmosphere in the office suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The two men looked at Lin Wu with frowns on their faces, with unclear thoughts flickering in their eyes.

But Lin Wu was calm as usual, and even leisurely turned the ring on her hand. She said casually, "I also know that this is probably a secret of Xuanmen, so I wanted to come here to chat with the two masters in a low-key manner today. I didn't have any other intentions. But I didn't expect that you, Uncle Yuan, valued me so much. Not only did you personally meet me at the door, but you also let so many people know that I was here."

Yuan Fengrong: “…”

Cheng Wenwei: “…”

What he said was tantamount to saying that if something happened to Lin Wu here, the next moment, people who should know and shouldn't know would probably come to Xuanmen.

Cheng Wenwei couldn't help but turn to Yuan Fengrong with a headache, asking what his senior brother, the sect leader, was thinking.

Yuan Fengrong smiled bitterly and sighed, "Daosheng, Uncle Yuan has been pretty good to you, right? Are you setting a trap for him? Uncle Yuan only wanted you to feel at home in Xuanmen, so he agreed to join Xuanmen earlier out of kindness."

As a result, Lin Wu not only came to visit him unexpectedly, but also took advantage of his thoughts, causing his whereabouts to be exposed.

Lin Wu shrugged, "Look at what Uncle Yuan said. I just came here to ask for advice, and I didn't do anything to you. What do you two want to do?"

Cheng Wenwei remained silent.

Yuan Fengrong said in a good-tempered manner: "How could that be? You are an honored guest of our Xuanmen, and you are always so. Uncle Yuan also treats you as a relative."

"I also call you Uncle Yuan." Lin Wu said, "So can you answer me now?"

Cheng Wenwei then spoke: "It is not convenient to tell outsiders about the secrets of the sect. You are a distinguished guest, and only a distinguished guest."

Yuan Fengrong immediately climbed up the pole and said, "Why don't you just be a member of our Xuanmen now, then you won't be considered an outsider."

“Senior Brother!”

Cheng Wenwei glared at Yuan Fengrong.

Yuan Fengrong shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to say more.

He could still tell which was more important, the secret or the forest fog. If he could exchange those past events for a forest fog, Xuanmen would have made a fortune.

Lin Wu rubbed the ring on his fingertips and said, "I not only know about the previous master of the funeral industry, but also other things. For example, you still haven't found out who sent you the dried blood vine. So I came here to make a deal with you two. Tell me what I want to know, and in exchange, I will tell you who did it later."

Yuan Fengrong and Cheng Wenwei both restrained their expressions.

"What if we don't consider this deal?"

"Daosheng, we really didn't find out who did it back then. But we haven't found it after all these years, how could you do it? This is probably-"

Cheng Wenwei narrowed his eyes slightly, "Getting something for nothing, right?"

The two were slightly stunned.

Lin Wu's tone was calm, but he could not hide his arrogance. He said casually: "There is nothing I, Lin Wu, cannot do. It is just a matter of time. I have never broken my promise to you in the past. So why don't you believe me?"

The two fell into silence.

After a moment, Yuan Fengrong sighed, "Uncle Yuan has known you for so long, and he knows one more thing."

"What?"

"You have never failed to get what you want. Since you are asking about the past here today, it means you must know. If we don't agree, you will use other methods, even if it hurts the relationship, to make us tell you, right?"

"yes."

"...You really are not being tactful at all."

Yuan Fengrong looked at Lin Wu helplessly and said, "Well, if you don't want to exchange the way to enter Xuanmen, it's up to you. Uncle Yuan will tell you now."

"Master!"

Cheng Wenwei grabbed Yuan Fengrong's hand.

Yuan Fengrong glanced at him.

Cheng Wenwei frowned and had to let go.

Yuan Fengrong looked at Lin Wu and said, "What you said is true. It was true. A few months after the funeral of the previous master, we received the dried blood vine. We searched for it for a long time but found nothing. But why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"You two can treat me as curious." Lin Wu said, "Since you have admitted it, it will be easy. Then tell me what you have done to investigate this dried blood vine. This is very important to me."

Yuan Fengrong's eyes flickered slightly.

Cheng Wenwei looked at him silently without saying a word.

After a while, it was Yuan Fengrong who spoke again: "A lot. Since you know that, you should also know that we discovered that the misunderstanding of the former head of the funeral industry was caused by a young man, right?"

"Um."

"We checked on this young man and followed him to find out if the former funeral director's brother was true. During this process, we also sent people back to Lingnan to check the clues that the former funeral director had mentioned. This was a long process and we didn't get anything at first, but one day, we were able to confirm that everything was true."

Yuan Fengrong paused, "Because we discovered that the life lights of two people in the Xuanmen who had an accident with the previous funeral master's younger brother suddenly lit up."

The Life Lamp is a secret method created by the Xuanmen sect for its disciples.

When a member of the sect is out and encounters a life-or-death crisis but no one knows about it, or when he encounters an emergency and wants to inform others in the sect for support, he can light a special talisman connected to the life lamp. At the same time, the life lamp in the sect will light up, informing others that someone in the sect has met with an accident.

"So, those people from Xuanmen were not dead at the time, and the former funeral director said that his brother was still alive, which was true. But we thought it was incredible at the time, because..."

"Because in your opinion, those people should have died in the '511' case?" Lin Wu continued.

Yuan Fengrong and Cheng Wenwei were stunned and asked in surprise: "You even know about this case?!"

"Since I'm here to ask, I'm well prepared. I basically know everything that happened in the past." Lin Wu said calmly.

The two were stunned.

Yuan Fengrong sighed: "The younger generation nowadays is really better than their predecessors. We guys are really old."

"Master Yuan, that's not true. You two are still in your prime." Lin Wu didn't want to waste any more words. "What happened next?"

"I'll tell you later." Cheng Wenwei said in a deep voice, "After we got the news, we immediately sent people to the place indicated by the life lamp to look for their whereabouts. I was the leader of the team at that time, and when I got there, I encountered a strange thing."
