It was not until the grandson of the leader of Gugui Village came to Zhangjia Village that the village chief, trusted by the leader, was entrusted by the leader to entertain the young leader of Gugui Village, that he finally met him.

After that busy period, the village chief took a pot of good wine and went to find the village chief, hoping to reminisce about the past and ask about what he had been doing recently. Unexpectedly, he saw them attacking the young chief of Guhui Village!

"I was hiding in the dark and saw everything clearly!" said the village chief. "The young man who conspired with the previous village chief and went to hunt down the young village chief looked exactly like Leng Linfeng, the foreign man brought back by Zhang Yuge!"

Lin Wu said: "If I remember correctly, Zhang Yuge and that person had already left Zhangjia Village."

"He didn't leave!" said the village chief, "He definitely showed up there, and he was the one who attacked the young village chief!"

Seeing the village chief's solemn promise, Lin Wu frowned slightly and asked, "Is Zhang Yuge here?"

The village chief shook his head: "He didn't come back. Our two families are close, if he came back, I would know. The place where Lord Mochuan is guarding is the secret of our Thirty-Six Villages. It must be Zhang Yuge who told Leng Linfeng about it, so that he knew it! He also brought him back to Zhangjia Village and let him know the location of Zhangjia Village. He colluded with the former village chief. It's really hateful!"

Ren Ke crossed his arms and looked at the village chief, sneering, "You're not much better. You saw them taking action, but you didn't stop them."

"I..." The village chief's face flushed. "I overheard that the foreigner seemed to have an unusual background. They were too cruel. I was indeed scared and hid myself. But later, I also asked people to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the young leader of Gugui Village. Afterwards, I also stood up to testify that the previous leader betrayed Zhangjia Village!"

Ren Ke sneered.

Lin Wu glanced at Ren Ke, telling her to stop, and asked the village chief: "Have you heard about Leng Linfeng's background?"

The village chief shook his head: "I didn't dare to get too close, I just walked away, I didn't have a chance to hear it clearly."

Lin Wu pinched his fingertips and said, "I understand. Goodbye."

The village chief was a little uneasy: "You are Master Mochuan's apprentice, so I told you this. You will tell the young village chief about..."

"I have no interest in interfering with your relationship with Gugui Village."

After saying this, Lin Wu turned and left, and Ren Ke followed.

The village chief anxiously sent them out.

After leaving the village chief's house, Lin Wu and Ren Ke walked towards the B&B.

"Why are you here? Are you interested in the mysterious things in the Thirty-Six Villages, or do you have a grudge against Leng Linfeng?" Ren Ke suddenly asked.

Lin Wu said calmly: "If I say yes, will you get it for me?"

"You wish for it. It's already good enough that I don't cause you any trouble." Ren Ke couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Then shut up and don't get in my way."

Lin Wu glanced at her.

Ren Ke was stunned, and reflexively said, "If you want to say that, I won't."

Lin Wu curled the corners of his mouth and said nothing.

The two quickly returned to the B&B. There were not many people on the first floor, but when they entered, they unexpectedly saw an acquaintance in front of the counter.

Lin Wu said, "Bo Ning."

The person at the counter turned around and saw that it was Bo Ning. He took the water handed to him by the staff, asked the other party to put it on the room bill, and immediately went to Lin Wu.

"Ms. Lin, you're back." Bo Ning was about to say something, but when he noticed the unfamiliar Ren Ke, he swallowed his words back, "I just got back too, and was about to go upstairs to look for Miss Bai. Do you want to come with me?"

Lin Wu nodded and said , "Wait, I'll go with you." Ren Ke took the opportunity to speak up.

Lin Wu said calmly: "You don't want to meet this Miss Bai with me."

Ren Ke was rebellious and said with a raised face, his eyes full of malicious intent.

Bo Ning noticed it keenly and frowned.

Lin Wu glanced at Ren Ke and said, "Master Bai Hai."

"Master Bai Hai? Why are you mentioning that old thing? I warn you, you are not allowed to reveal my dark history in front of outsiders..."

Ren Ke was displeased. She was halfway through her words when she met Lin Wu's meaningful gaze. She stopped for some reason.

"Master Bai Hai... Miss Bai..."

"Could she be that old man's...daughter?!"

Lin Wu: “Yeah.”

Ren Ke's face suddenly changed. He said goodbye, turned around and went upstairs.

Bai Ning was confused: "Ms. Lin, who is that? Does she know Miss Bai's father?"

"More than just knowing each other..." Lin Wu patted Bo Ning's shoulder, "If you don't want Bai Jing to be angry, don't mention this person who came back with me in front of her. Just pretend you don't know and talk about it later."

Bo Ning replied with a puzzled look on his face.

The two went upstairs to look for Bai Jing, but Bai Jing was not there.

After waiting in Bai Jing's room for more than ten minutes, Bai Jing finally came back.

"What's going on? Did the people from the archaeological team invite you to have a long talk to discuss cooperation? Or are they using the name of cooperation to find out why I am here and whether I am eyeing the same thing as them?" Lin Wu asked leisurely.

"I'm here to check on you." Bai Jing came in.

Bai Ning immediately stood up, pulled out a chair for Bai Jing, and poured her a glass of water.

Bai Jing took a few sips and then looked at Lin Wu and said, "They know you. You are the girlfriend of Master Bo Jiu in Beijing. You are a promising freshman in the Department of Physics at Beijing University. You have a close relationship with the Board of Directors of Beijing University. You have also appeared in international organizations and have traces in R State. I'm not saying, can't you be more low-key next time?"

Lin Wu asked back: "How did you get back?"

"Tell me the truth." Bai Jing put down the cup, "Something happened to Bo Ning and I. As our friend, you are worried about us, so come and check it out."

"What about them?"

"They were watching from the sidelines, worried that you were not that simple and were here for the same thing, but they also wanted to cooperate and borrow your influence. In the end, they just apologized to me, saying that the archaeological team's business had caused me trouble and hoped that I would forgive them. They played the ball cleanly."

"Then there's no rush."

Lin Wu leaned back and said slowly, "I have confirmed from the village chief of Zhangjia Village that the person who cooperated with the previous village chief was Leng Linfeng, and he brought the Huo family with him. They coveted the things in the Thirty-Six Villages three years ago, but were later discovered and forced to stop. Now they are back, they should need something from the same place again. Anyway, the Thirty-Six Villages is in the back mountain."

Bai Jing frowned slightly and looked at Bo Ning, "What did you find out?"

Bai Ning had just returned and still had only a vague understanding of many things. He was quite confused when he heard what the two were saying.

When asked about his own group, he replied calmly, "That group of people was undoubtedly the Huo family. They went to the back mountain, to the place where the Huo family appeared earlier, and their behavior was very similar, as if they were looking for something there. But they ended up finding nothing and came back. I came back with them and saw that the few people who went there entered 316 and never came out again."

Bai Jing turned to Lin Wu: "What do you mean?"

Lin Wu: "Wait. Tomorrow at the latest, the archaeological team will come to ask for cooperation. As for the Huo family, I have another way to force them to cooperate."
