"To be honest, I didn't think that Lord Bai Hai would agree to my request so readily. In order to convince him to take the risk, I spent a lot of time thinking about the benefits he could bring to him. If any losses are caused, I will pay him back tenfold in the future. I will also work hard for him forever in the future without any complaints and forever."
"But before I could say that, Lord Bai Hai agreed to it."
As a result, Lin Wu was stunned for a long time.
She had stayed in that place for a long time before, and then followed Lord Bai Hai and was raised by him. She had tasted power, got used to the emotionless exchange of interests, and did not feel that there was real trust between people.
But Lord Bai Hai believed her very much.
That was the beginning of her transformation, which made her no longer as cold and extreme when doing other things. She began to open her heart and cultivate true confidants with sincerity and trust.
Lin Wu thought of something and twitched the corner of his mouth, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"There is one more thing. During the years when I disappeared as a child, the organization in that place actually knew that I had contact with Lord Bai Hai and you. In order to avoid trouble, they also didn't want my disappearance to be discovered, so they arranged a substitute to stay in the Lin family at that time."
Maybe they also wanted to maintain their relationship with Lord Bai Hai and the Lin family at that time, so that they could control and train her and use these people to do things.
"Don't mention it. I didn't have a close relationship with you at that time. It's normal that you didn't notice that I had changed. But the Lin family didn't notice it at all. My grandfather, who always said he cared about me, didn't notice the change in me."
The person who replaced her in the Lin family was eccentric and never close to them. They didn't care and just thought she was a monster.
Later, she really tried to go back, but because her past experiences had become so real, they did not notice the changes. They just looked at her with gradually more disgust and rejection, as if she was a born bad person.
However, she had lost her normal emotional perception by then and did not feel any pain, so she simply followed their wishes and moved to the countryside.
However, Lord Bai Hai and his men slowly changed her, and she began to act like a normal person, and she also looked forward to family affection, so she did the things her peers did to deliberately learn bad things to attract their parents. Later, the facts told her that even if there was no one pretending to be her, the Lin family would not like her, so she gave up.
And Mr. Lin was pretty good to her at that time, but it was just "pretty good".
He said he cared about her, but when he arranged for her to go to boarding school, she only went home once a week, sometimes once every two weeks, and he didn't ask if she didn't go back. He said he cared about her, but she often disappeared from school, and sometimes she had to be hospitalized after coming back injured, and he never noticed.
Obviously, if he had called the school once and asked once whether she was not at home, she would have told him the truth. But he didn't.
Fortunately, at that time, Lin Wu had not completely changed her concept that there was only an exchange of interests between people, and there was no sincerity, so she was not sad. She just felt that it was rare that Mr. Lin could treat her better than the Lin family, so why force more? But unfortunately, later Lin Wu met those people like Gong Ye. They treated her well regardless of their own interests, making her more like a normal person. Therefore, every time those people she knew outside treated her better, she would be more disappointed and painful when she went back to face Mr. Lin and the Lin family, who she still thought of as her biological family at that time.
For some reason, the more normal emotional abilities she gained and recovered, the more she lost and the deeper her pain.
She didn't understand why this happened.
So in the end, when Grandpa Lin was about to leave, Lin Wu did not listen to Grandpa Lin and go back with him. Instead, he continued to live alone in the countryside under the pretext of going to school.
The last person who taught her the ways of the world and made her more peaceful and calm was Bo Yuting.
He also taught her how to face her relatives, making up for the last thing she was missing.
Bai Jing's heart ached, and he said, "They are not your family, the Gu family is. I heard that the Gu family treats you well."
Lin Wu hummed and said, "And Lord Bai Hai."
To Lin Wu, Lord Bai Hai was the first person who was truly like a teacher and a father. So even if she climbed to a higher position later, she was willing to work for Lord Bai Hai, listen to him, and hoped that Lord Bai Hai and Bai Jing could reconcile.
Bai Jing's mood also became complicated.
Seeing that Lin Wu's expression was gradually becoming depressed, she wanted to change the subject, but she paused when she was about to speak. Bai Jing thought of a key issue.
"Wait," she looked at Lin Wu suspiciously, "You knew Ren Ke's identity at that time. But why didn't you introduce Ren Ke as a killer when you gave me her background?"
Lin Wu choked, "This..."
Bai Jing narrowed his eyes slightly. "You actually found out everything, but you deliberately didn't tell me her identity? Because your plan at that time lacked an opportunity to make that organization feel that they had won and lowered their guard, making it easier for you to do things. And this opportunity is undoubtedly the most suitable for me to provide."
"After all, everyone knows what happened between the old man and my mother. It's also known that I hate the old man. If I can't accept the old man's remarriage, it shows that their disguise was successful and pushed Ren Ke's actions. So you were using me at the time, right?"
If you take advantage of her, you will definitely believe what she says and won’t do any additional verification, so you won’t find out that Ren Ke is pretending to be you.
"Well..." Lin Wu was silent for a moment, "I'm not lying to you, yes."
Bai Jing raised his voice: "Lin Wu!"
Bai Ning, who was already somewhat dazed at the back, was startled when he heard this. Seeing Bai Jing's angry face, he said with some concern: "Bai Jing... don't be angry. Getting angry is not good for your health. In fact, Miss Lin also had her own difficulties at that time. It wasn't for you..."
Bai Jing raised his hand to stop Bo Ning from speaking, took a deep breath, glared at Lin Wu and said, "Don't think that you don't have to repay me just because you are my friend. I will help you less when we get down there. After we are done, you have to accompany me back to the old man's island!"
Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay."
Bo Ning behind was also stunned for a moment, then felt relieved.
As they finished saying this, the sky darkened unknowingly, and they were getting closer to the river that was their destination.
At this time, the archaeological team leading the way suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Lin Wu and Bai Jing exchanged glances, composed themselves and walked over, and the people behind them also quickened their pace and approached.
Gao Zhouwen waited until they were closer before speaking.
