This was the first time Grandpa called her since their last unpleasant meeting.

Lin Wu stood up with his phone in hand, "You guys eat first, I'm going to answer a call."

After that, he turned and went upstairs. He answered the phone in the study, "Grandpa?"

There was silence over there for a long time.

"Wuwu, where are you now?"

Lin Wu walked to the leather sofa and sat down, then replied calmly, "At home."

Mr. Lin asked hesitantly, "Is it... the villa in Yujiadiyuan?"

Lin Wu: “Yeah.”

Old Master Lin was silent for a moment. "Which building is it? I think you told Grandpa last time, but Grandpa has been ill these days and his memory has declined a lot. He seems to have forgotten it."

Linxi "Villa No. 31."

Old Master Lin seemed a little unconvinced and couldn't help asking, "Wuwu, you...really live in Yujiadiyuan?"

Lin Wu felt a little strange. Wasn't grandpa not very interested in this before and didn't ask much? Why did he suddenly call her to ask this? "Really. Grandpa, are you calling me just to ask this? I'll hang up if there's nothing else..."

"Something's going on!" Old Master Lin interrupted hastily.

Lin Wu's tone became lighter: "Go ahead."

Mr. Lin seemed a little embarrassed. "I heard from Sheng Hai and the others that Jiang Bai was involved in a case. The police took him to the police station. How many days has he been detained?"

Hearing this, Lin Wu's eyes darkened.

The Zhang Yuge case was very strange. There was no suspicious suspect and no evidence to prove that Lin Jiangbai was innocent, so the case came to a standstill and Lin Jiangbai had not been released for special reasons.

“I’ve heard a little bit about it.”

"But weren't you at the scene when Jiang Bai was brought in by the police? How could you not know?"

Lin Wu narrowed his eyes slightly: "How do you know?"

Mr. Lin stammered, "Jiang Chuan and the others told me."

Lin Wu said, "What else did they say?"

Old Master Lin said uncertainly, "They say you have a close relationship with Sheng Gui... and the young master of the Leng family. They treat you differently."

Lin Wu's eyes were slightly cold: "That's not what they said originally, right?"

After a long pause, Old Master Lin said, "They said that you replaced Qianqian's position at Shenggui's place, and made Shenggui lose face for the Lin family. Qianqian was a kind-hearted girl, and wanted to ask the young master of the Leng family for help to rescue Jiang Bai, but she met you and the young master of the Leng family...you...you even asked the young master of the Leng family to kick her out."

Lin Wu asked coldly: "Does Grandpa believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it!" Old Master Lin said reflexively, and then hesitated: "But Grandpa really doesn't know when you, Manager Song of Shenggui, and Young Master Leng became acquainted."

Mr. Lin was stunned: "You...you know Sheng Gui's boss? When..."

Lin Wu interrupted directly: "Grandpa, don't you want to know why I'm looking for Leng Linfeng?"

Mr. Lin subconsciously replied: "What's the matter?"

Lin Wu said coldly: "The peace pendant that Lin Shenghai and his men gave you was intended to absorb your lifespan through the pendant in exchange for their wealth. The pendant is poisonous."

Mr. Lin on the other end of the phone was stunned and said in a lost voice: "How is this possible?! Shenghai is my son, Jiang Bai and the others are my grandchildren, how could they do that?!"

"The young master of the Leng family is on good terms with the Master Zhang they mentioned, and he has already admitted it. The old masters of the Chen and Zhao families who had previously obtained the pendant also died of poisoning. If you still don't believe it, I can bring the young master of the Leng family to you, and then go to the Chen and Zhao families to get evidence."

Lin Wu finished speaking in one breath, without caring at all about the impact these words might have on Grandpa Lin.

Old Master Lin was stunned, his mind went blank and his ears were buzzing.

Lin Wu didn't give him a chance to buffer: "So Grandpa, do you still want to tell me the reason why you called me?"

There was silence on the other end of the line and my breathing became heavy.

Lin Wu's eyes fell on the ancient clock placed in the opposite corner, staring at the movement of the second hand on it.

After ten minutes, when Mr. Lin spoke again, his voice was choked: "I saw the photo of Jiang Bai at the police station that Jiang Chuan and his friends brought me. Jiang Bai looked much more haggard and must have suffered a lot."

"so what?"

"Wuwu, Grandpa believes what you said. You and Boss Sheng Gui are friends. In that case, can you find a way to help Jiang Bai out, or... go find Young Master Leng?"

"Is this what Grandpa really thinks?"

"Jiang Bai is my grandson after all, but now not only Jiang Bai is suffering, the Lin family's stock market has also plummeted because of Jiang Bai's affairs. If this continues, it will not be good for Jiang Bai and the Lin family." Grandpa Lin said with difficulty.

Lin Wu leaned back, resting his arms on the back of the sofa and crossing his long legs slightly.

She lowered her eyes and said coldly, "I can indeed rescue Lin Jiangbai with just one sentence."

"real?"

Mr. Lin's voice sounded a lot more exciting.

Lin Wu changed the subject: "——But, I won't save him."

"Why?" Mr. Lin was puzzled.

Lin Wu sneered: "Given his offense to me, I am lucky not to add insult to injury. Grandpa, I will tell you very clearly now that I can take good care of you in your later years and honor you, but the premise is that it has nothing to do with the Lin family. So, you'd better not use the Lin family to consume my feelings for you. Otherwise, you will lose me, your granddaughter."

After saying that, Lin Wu hung up.
