...Meteorite? Lin Wu frowned slightly, and immediately thought of the pendant that Gu Shiqing gave her. The material of the pendant was a very special meteorite.
Are they the same?
"How special is it?" Lin Wu asked.
Zheng Jingmin shook his head. "I don't know. I was just asked to look for it on their behalf."
Cheng Wenwei next to him glanced at Zheng Jingmin, then immediately looked away, quietly put the documents away and put them in his bag.
But his actions were seen by Lin Wu.
Lin Wu asked: "Who are you looking for?"
Zheng Jingmin spoke in a gentle voice, but he did not allow for argument: "This has nothing to do with finding Mingxian, does it? Since you have been entrusted by someone, of course you have to keep the good person's secret."
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Okay, I understand. Then let's talk about Zheng Mingxian. How did he go to Lingnan, how many people were with him, where was his destination, when was the last time you had contact, and when was he originally expected to come back."
Before today, Zheng Jingmin never thought that he would tell Lin Wu these things. But now, out of concern, he had to tell Lin Wu the details. As Lin Wu said, he did not doubt her ability at all, and believed that with her help, he should be able to find Ming Xian as soon as possible.
Zheng Jingmin calmed himself down and answered each question solemnly.
"A few days ago, he brought a few old men from Shixing and flew directly to Chuancheng near Lingnan. Someone picked him up and they drove deep into the Shiwan Mountains in Lingnan along the route arranged by the people there. The destination... is probably in Dayuling, near a place called Zhangjia Village. I don't know the details. Because even if I went there in the past, I didn't go with them in person. I was just responsible for picking them up and arranging the overall situation."
Lin Wu narrowed his eyes slightly.
It’s Zhangjia Village again.
"It was originally estimated that he would be back in half a month at most."
Zheng Jingmin was worried. "To be on the safe side, we don't contact each other often. The last time we contacted each other was the morning of the day before yesterday. The next time should be tonight. But I just tried to contact the person in charge but couldn't get in touch with him. This is not right. Even if we can't contact Mingxian who personally went to the scene, we should be able to contact those people and let them report the general situation so that we can provide timely assistance in case of emergency."
This is the first time that he couldn't get in touch with someone. Obviously, something went wrong! What if it was like what Lin Wu said... Zheng Jingmin couldn't imagine how dangerous Zheng Mingxian was now. He only had one son, Zheng Mingxian, and he couldn't let anything happen to him! Cheng Wenwei seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end he just sighed and said nothing.
Lin Wu remained calm and said, "Give me the map they used."
"no!"
Cheng Wenwei blurted out.
Lin Wu looked at him: "Uncle Zheng hasn't said anything yet, but Uncle Cheng refused so quickly. If you don't know, you might think that Uncle Cheng and the person Uncle Zheng did the work for are in the same group."
"How is that possible?" Cheng Wenwei said seriously, "What I mean is, your uncle Zheng is not going to come in person this time, so how could he have a map? Even if he did, it wouldn't be convenient."
At the same time, he winked at Zheng Jingmin.
It was fine to tell Lin Wu what he had said before, as it did not involve any core secrets. But if he gave Lin Wu the map, then he would know everything.
Cheng Wenwei instinctively felt that what happened today was a bit strange, and he couldn't tell Lin Wu everything so quickly. At least he couldn't tell Lin Wu everything.
Zheng Jingmin obviously understood Cheng Wenwei's meaning and became hesitant.
"It's okay if Uncle Zheng can't give it to me. After all, it's the rescue of your son that's being delayed, not my business."
Lin Wu said with a half-smile, and pretended to stand up, "That's it, I'll go and do my business first. As for Zheng Mingxian, I can't guarantee when we can find him even if we ask someone to find him."
He added: "I still admire Uncle Zheng very much. You are so loyal to the people behind you that you even let go of your own son for them."
Zheng Jingmin's face suddenly turned pale.
Cheng Wenwei secretly thought that something was wrong and immediately wanted to reach out and hold down Zheng Jingmin, but in the end he was a step too late.
"Finding Mingxian is important. Daosheng, add Uncle Zheng on WeChat and I will send you the backup route map." Zheng Jingmin stood up abruptly.
Lin Wu paused and raised his eyebrows. "Okay, let's add it."
Cheng Wenwei watched Zheng Jingmin send the route without hesitation, and also told Lin Wu the information of several important personnel in Lingnan to facilitate Lin Wu to verify the contact. He covered his face with his hands.
Just at this moment, Lin Wu deliberately cue him.
"Uncle Cheng, what's that expression on your face? It's like you're reluctant to let Uncle Zheng tell me this. Don't you want me to find Zheng Mingxian as soon as possible?"
Cheng Wenwei: “…”
Cheng Wenwei forced a smile: "How could that be? You really misunderstood Uncle Cheng. I watched Mingxian grow up and treated him as my own son. Naturally, I hope he is well."
"That's good. I thought you were deliberately hiding it from me." Lin Wu sat back.
Cheng Wenwei couldn't even force a smile.
Zheng Jingmin knew what Cheng Wenwei was thinking, but he ignored him and looked at Lin Wu who was sitting still. "Daosheng, aren't you leaving for Lingnan yet?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished talking to my two uncles yet." Lin Wu said slowly.
Cheng Wenwei and Zheng Jingmin were stunned, and at the same time their hearts skipped a beat, with a bad feeling.
Lin Wu: "Just now I heard outside that the two uncles thought that I asked Zheng Mingxian to conceal the matter so that they could ask about the blood vine, right?"
The two of them paused.
"That... misunderstanding."
"Yes, yes, Daosheng, we know who you are best. How could you do such a thing?"
"Well, it's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. We still have a lot of things to do. We still have to arrange for someone to find Mingxian. I'll leave first. You should get busy too."
After Zheng Jingmin and Cheng Wenwei finished their conversation, they stood up and were about to leave.
"Bang--"
Lin Wu picked up the cup beside him and knocked it hard.
The two stopped instantly.
"Can you two go now?"
Lin Wu disagreed and said, "Uncle Zheng, Uncle Cheng, I am the most approachable person. So I will ask nice questions and you should answer nicely. Let's chat happily and don't give me the opportunity to bully you."
Two people: “…”
You call this approachable?
You call this chatting?
"I only have one question, and I won't ask anything else that I shouldn't ask." Lin Wu tapped the table with his fingers, his tone indifferent; "When Shi Xing received the dried blood vine sent anonymously, what did he do afterwards? Even Xuanmen told me, so Uncle Zheng won't be too stingy to not tell me, right?"
Zheng Jingmin turned around with a headache, "Daosheng..."
Lin Wu: "Don't want to talk about it? Then this question cannot be discussed? OK, let's change to something else. Why are you two meeting here? Are you exchanging anything?"
Her eyes fell on the briefcase Cheng Wenwei was carrying.
The previous files are placed inside.
Cheng Wenwei: “…”
Zheng Jingmin: “…”
This is even harder to answer than the previous question! Zheng Jingmin immediately made a choice and answered the previous question.
“I didn’t do anything at the beginning.”
"After receiving the dried blood vine, Uncle Zheng sent people to Lingnan to check if they could find any useful clues from the source of the dried blood vine. However, they unexpectedly found a special raw stone in the home of a tribe member in one of the thirty-six villages in Lingnan."
"Later, I also thought about continuing to investigate the '511' case, but the higher-ups didn't allow me to do so, and even warned me because I investigated too much. I handed over the raw stone to show that my Zheng family no longer had any clues related to the '511' case and the parties involved, and that's how we were able to live safely and smoothly. Correspondingly, my stone business had someone above me to take care of it, so I was able to recuperate quickly."
