When the people outside saw Lin Wu coming out, they immediately bowed to him.

However, due to Lin Wu's previous warning, they did not do it too obviously to avoid Lin Wu's attention.

But what was unexpected was that Lin Wu did not hide her feelings this time. She nodded openly in response, without covering her extremely eye-catching face, and went straight to her room.

She did not even try to restrain her aura, which attracted the attention of other people nearby, who were stunned when they saw her.

Then it attracted the attention of other people one after another.

For a moment, several pairs of eyes were focused on Lin Wu.

Lin Wu looked calm as he walked to the room, pushed the door open, and then closed it to block out the view from outside.

After this, Lin Wu made an ambiguous sound, went to the bed to charge his cell phone, found some clothes and took a shower.

Afterwards, Lin Wu went to bed without even opening his phone.

She slept soundly and comfortably, but outside, the situation was turbulent and undercurrents were surging.

The next day, when Lin Wu woke up, it was already noon.

She stayed in bed for a while before reaching for her phone to turn it on. As expected, she saw countless incoming calls and unread messages.

Lin Wu picked up some important things and went back, then got up and washed up leisurely.

It was not until Bai Jing came and knocked on the door to call her that Lin Wu opened the door and went out, and went downstairs with Bai Jing to have lunch.

As expected, the B&B was quite lively at this moment, with many people moving around in the corridor, and their eyes were more or less on Lin Wu and Bai Jing.

There are quite a few people on the first floor.

When the two of them went downstairs, they saw Wang Lin and Qiu Mei from the archaeological team standing at a table in the corner. There were four people sitting at the table, talking in low voices, and several dishes were already placed on the table.

Lin Wu took a look and found a seat nearby to sit down with Bai Jing.

"That middle-aged man with glasses is Deputy Captain Jian?"

Lin Wu raised his hand and called the staff over, asked for some food, and asked Bai Jing softly after the staff left.

Both of them had their backs to the archaeological team's table. Bai Jing picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water. He said, "The one with gray hair on his left hand is Professor Zhang. The stern-faced man opposite him, who is in his thirties, is Han Yuesong. The tall and thin man next to him, who is the same age, is Gao Zhouwen, the one who led the rescue team. A total of... eight people."

Bai Jing said this and poured a cup for Lin Wu as well.

Lin Wu took a sip from the cup, tapped the rim with his fingertips, and said, "They shouldn't be doing archaeological research. They don't look like ordinary guards. They look more like..."

"A secret personnel specially trained in the military area." Bai Jing continued.

Lin Wu raised the cup slightly and soon stopped at an angle.

The water surface reflected a mirror on the wall behind, and Professor Zhang and others were reflected in the mirror.

Lin Wu recalled the people he had seen last night and nodded, "Yes. Their demeanor and manners are not what ordinary security guards can have, and their physiques are not what researchers can have. This makes me curious, what kind of organization is this archaeological team from that is worthy of the superiors sending so many people to rescue?"

After a pause, she raised her eyes slightly and looked at Bai Jing, her voice so soft that only the two of them could hear it.

"Are the people who disappeared from the archaeological team so important? Are they here to save people, or to find..."

Bai Jing leaned back and said with a smile, "Who knows? I wanted to get some information about their organization, but they avoided talking about it and were unwilling to say more."

"interesting."

Lin Wu put down the cup and said, "The guy named Gao Zhouwen just now glanced at us three times. He seemed to be more interested in us than Professor Zhang and the others."

Bai Jing's mouth twitched slightly: "It's not difficult for me to get you a human skin mask. If you lose the original one, you can just get another one. But you don't wear it and show your true face. How can they not be interested now?"

Lin Wu raised his eyebrows and said, "Let them wait and see. Anyway, they don't dare to look for me or trust me for the time being. I will leave for a walk in the village in a while and won't have time to deal with them. When the time comes, they should come to you to test you. You can handle them as you see fit. Don't refuse too quickly, and don't agree too quickly. There are enough variables in a whole day."

Lin Wu said lightly: "You have the confidence to make them focus on you and follow your rhythm."

Bai Jing curled his lips again and said nothing more.

Not long after, the staff came up with the food.

Perhaps because they had never seen Lin Wu before, the staff couldn't help but look at Lin Wu several more times.

Lin Wu took out the chopsticks and handed them to Bai Jing, saying, "I won't give it to you for now. I want to use it as a token to meet the head of Zhangjia Village in the name of Mochuan."

Bai Jing choked on his water when she mentioned the hair string again, and said faintly, "You called me Master last night, but today you call me by my name. You are so fickle. I wonder if your Master knows."

Lin Wu glanced at her: "If it's a gift to you, then my master probably knows. Do you think my master's hair style suits you? I think it suits you very well."

Bai Jing was choked by her calling him "Master" all the time and just shut up.

Lin Wu finished eating quickly, tapped the table with his fingers, stood up and said, "I'm full, you continue, I have something to do so I'll leave first."

Bai Jing waved his hand.

The footsteps of the people around me gradually faded away, but it didn't take long before footsteps were heard again.

Qiu Mei's voice then rang out.

"Miss Bai, Professor Zhang and I are here to talk to you about something. If you don't mind, how about you continue eating at our table?"

Bai Jing didn't even raise his head, and said calmly: "Mind."

"I am a person who, after the initial stage of being interested and proactive, I am too lazy to share a meal with others. The same applies to eating. If there is anything, I will talk about it after I finish eating and feel more interested."

"Make way, you're blocking the light."

…

The other side.

After Lin Wu left, he quickly stopped a few villagers and asked them where the village chief of Zhangjia Village was.

After getting the answer, Lin Wu went towards it.

But she walked very slowly, as if she was strolling in a garden to digest her food, looking here and there, and from time to time she greeted the villagers she liked and asked about the latest news in the village.

Of course, the natives here are quite xenophobic and don’t want to talk too much with Lin Wu.

But after Lin Wu took out a stack of bills, everyone he met was very hospitable.

Finally, Lin Wu turned into a small road and gradually walked to a very secluded place. There were few residents around, and it was spacious and desolate.

Lin Wu stopped and spoke in a calm voice.

"I've been following you all the way, why don't you come out? Or do you want to wait until there are more people around before you take action?"

After he finished speaking, there was silence all around.

But in just a moment, footsteps were heard, stepping on the dead branches and leaves, approaching step by step.

Lin Wu turned around and saw a young woman appearing at the other end of the path. She had big black wavy hair, and was wearing a short off-shoulder top, navy blue overalls, and a jacket draped over her arms. She was tall, slender, and well-proportioned.

When she looked up, her facial features were delicate and cool, and her pair of phoenix eyes were extremely imposing and hiddenly sharp.

"So you found me."

The woman raised her lips and said, "I was just wondering, how come you have retreated so much after not seeing you for so long that you didn't even notice there was someone following you."
