Lin Wu nodded.
Bai Jing looked at Lin Wu and suddenly said, "I remember that there were a few years when I had no contact with you. It was as if you had disappeared from the face of the earth. When I saw you again later, you had become a different person. It was also at that time that the old man began to value you, taught you personally, and trained you to be the next Sea Lord."
Lin Wu was stunned when he suddenly heard her say this.
"You may not remember, but when I saw you back then, you actually didn't pay much attention to me. You were so busy every day that you sometimes only slept for an hour or two a day, and you used whatever means to climb up."
In fact, at that time, Bai Jing was also a little scared of the forest fog.
Because Lin Wu was cold and emotionless at that time, he attacked people without blinking and his methods were very cruel.
As time went by, the two began to become familiar with each other because of their life-and-death friendship.
Lin Wu pinched his fingertips and said, "I remember. But Lord Bai Hai never thought of letting me take his place. He just saw value in me and wanted to train me to be your sword. If you don't want to follow his old path in the future, I can protect you for the rest of your life."
"No." Bai Jing denied calmly, "Although I don't like the old man, he is still my father after all, and I understand him. Maybe he had this idea in the beginning when he kept you, but later he didn't. I know he also treats you as his own child, and he also... loves you."
"I don't know why he feels sorry for you, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with the Lin family. And this reason should also be the reason why you became a completely different person during that period, right?"
Lin Wu stopped talking.
Bai Jing looked at Lin Wu. "You didn't tell me then, and I didn't ask. Now I want to ask, is it... related to the third group of people in the B&B now?"
Lin Wu was silent for a moment, "This has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it."
"But I know you better than I know the old man. Over the years, I have vaguely realized what you are doing, especially after you joined the Fourth Special Zone and did that thing with Miyano and the others." Bai Jing suddenly said.
Lin Wu was slightly surprised: "...You know?"
Bai Jing said, "Why do you think I haven't returned to the old man yet? I'll set up my own business outside and won't accept anything from the old man. Then he will put all his resources on you, and you will have more confidence and a better chance of successfully accomplishing what you want to do."
"Don't look at me with that expression," Bai Jing said calmly, "I am the daughter of the Sea Lord, and I know everything about the sea. Can you really hide what you have done from me and the old man?"
Lin Wu was silent.
She just thought that Bai Jing had noticed something, so she came to Lingnan to help and accompany her this time. She really didn't expect that she knew more than she thought.
"I've told you so much, but I just want to tell you one thing. You are no longer the same person you used to be. You don't need to be cautious and scheming anymore. Just act directly." Bai Jing raised his hand and patted Lin Wu on the shoulder. "Besides, when the time comes, the Five Oceans and Seven Islands will definitely stand behind you."
Lin Wu looked at her and knew that she must have something unfinished to say.
As expected, Bai Jing objected in a deep voice: "So you really don't have to bring that group of people in. They are a variable, much more dangerous than the Huo family. With them around, your safety inside cannot be guaranteed at all."
Lin Wu lowered his eyes.
After a moment, she brushed away Bai Jing's hand and said directly, "You are right. I can indeed not give them face and take action directly, but I can't. Because I... for special reasons, I am somewhat controlled by them. And I don't just want to bring them down, there are more important things to do."
"Why are you controlled by them?" Bai Jing frowned.
Lin Wu did not reply, but only said: "You will know it later, but not now. For now, let's solve the matter of the Thirty-Six Villages."
Bai Jing frowned and looked at Lin Wu, and finally gave up trying to persuade Lin Wu to join that group of people in.
The two went downstairs to eat, and afterwards Bai Jing asked Bo Ning to prepare the necessary supplies and equipment, and rejected the archaeological team's suggestion to prepare them together.
Lin Wu left the B&B and decided to go see Bo Liu again before leaving and arrange for someone to protect him.
Not long after walking, Lin Wu stopped and looked back.
Sure enough, she saw Ren Ke following her not far away.
Seeing that she had discovered it, Ren Ke walked over and said, "I want to go with you. Otherwise, if you find a chance to run away, I will suffer."
"Okay, you take two people. If there are more, the others won't agree." Lin Wu said.
Ren Ke was stunned and became suspicious: "You are so straightforward, are you setting a trap for me?"
Lin Wu turned around and left, "If you don't believe me, don't follow me down."
"That's a deal, three people!"
Ren Ke immediately raised his voice, and seeing Lin Wu waved his hand as a response, he went back to call for people to prepare.
On the way, passing the intersection leading to the village chief's house, Lin Wu inadvertently glanced and suddenly saw Luan Zhi coming out of the village chief's house.
She stopped immediately and watched from a distance at the intersection.
Luan Zhi was sent out by the village chief. The two were close to each other and it was unclear what they were talking about. They were far away and their voices could not be heard.
Suddenly, Luan Zhi turned around and was about to leave.
Lin Wu immediately retreated and hid behind the wall. Not long after, footsteps were heard approaching and then moving away.
She came out and saw Luan Zhi heading towards the B&B.
Looking at the village chief's house again, the village chief did not go back, but went to the other side.
"Do they know each other?"
Lin Wu looked around several times, thinking and continuing to go to the infirmary. He met many people from Zhangjia Village intermittently.
The strange feeling from last time came back again. She felt that there was something wrong with the people in Zhangjia Village, but she couldn't tell what.
Lin Wu was still thinking about this question until he arrived at Bo Liu's ward in the infirmary.
Unable to figure it out for a moment, Lin Wu simply gave up temporarily, made arrangements, asked about Bo Liu's situation, and then left.
She walked quickly and did not notice that Bo Liu, who had been motionless in the ward, moved his fingers and his lips moved slightly as if he was whispering something.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, several groups of people gathered in the small living room on the first floor.
In addition to Professor Zhang and his four companions, Han Yuesong and Gao Zhouwen, there were four other people on the archaeological team, a total of ten people. The rest stayed in the B&B in case of emergency.
Chang Chi and Chang San also brought five people, making a total of seven people including the two of them.
Seeing Lin Wu and the others coming down, Gao Zhouwen immediately stepped forward, and the eyes of the others also fell on Lin Wu and the others.
"Ms. Lin, are there only five of you here?" Gao Zhouwen asked.
"No, there are three more." Lin Wu said.
"Anything else? Who else can you bring?" Chang Chi looked at him suspiciously. It was unknown what he was thinking about. His expression was a little subtle, and he took a step back.
Chang San patted his shoulder as if he realized something.
"Of course you don't know him."
Lin Wu heard footsteps and turned around and pointed towards the stairs.
In full view of everyone, Ren Ke appeared in sight with two young men.
"You..." Chang San took a closer look, his expression froze, and he took a step forward, his eyes sharp as he said, "The famous killer 'Yan Luo Rose' on the underworld - Ren Ke! You are still one of the top ten wanted people on the international organization's wanted list! The international organization has set up a dragnet so many times but still failed to catch you, and it's rare to see your true face. I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"What? She is Ren Ke!"
"Is she going to come with us this time?"
"No, no, no, how can this be possible? Who knows if she will attack us!"
"But why is she here? Is she here with a mission to kill one of us?"
"Shouldn't the question now be, how did Miss Lin know Ren Ke?"
Amid the noisy voices, a sudden sharp voice suppressed all the whispers.
"Ren Ke? You're still alive!"
Unlike everyone else who was astonished, Bai Jing had a very ugly expression on his face. He directly took out the dagger from his waist and shot it at Ren Ke who was on the stairs, aiming straight at her vital points!
At the same time, her men also rushed forward and attacked ruthlessly! (End of this chapter)
