Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.

Zheng Mingxian said, "He saw that I already knew so many things and was worried that I would end up dying like those people in the "511" case. So he asked me to find the meteorite on his behalf, appear in No. 49's eyes, and be protected by No. 49."

"At the same time, he also felt that his generation might have reached that point, and perhaps our generation could make breakthroughs that they couldn't. He hoped that I could find out the things that he was confused about."

For these reasons, Zheng Mingxian finally came to Lingnan with the No. 49 people.

Lin Wu thought for a moment, "What about the dried blood vine?"

Zheng Mingxian said: "When the four banks received the dried blood vine sent anonymously, no one could figure out who did it. My father was no exception."

"but--"

His eyes suddenly became stern.

"Now I know."

Lin Wu sat up straight, "How did you figure it out?"

Zheng Mingxian said solemnly: "The entrance that No. 49 and I used to enter the meteorite land was an underground river. The first few times we explored the way were all fine, but when we went in again, we found a lot of corpses that suddenly appeared. They were all old corpses, but I found a younger corpse mixed in, and it even had my Shixing token on it!"

"I'm sure that person must be one of the people Shi Xing sent overseas eighteen years ago! He did not die overseas, but appeared in Lingnan, which means that someone survived!"

"So I insisted on following the direction where the body came out. I put on diving equipment and dived to the bottom of the river. I found a secret entrance. I swam in from there and started to go up after about ten minutes. Five minutes later, I encountered two forks in the road. We entered one and finally reached the surface after 20 minutes. When we got out, it was a big cave with three entrances on the other side."

Hmm? Lin Wu felt that it sounded familiar. Could it be the cave where she and Lu Guichi and the others separated? "Then we walked into one of the cave entrances, but we didn't expect the road there to be extremely dangerous. Not only did we lose contact with the outside world, we were also seriously injured. The others died to protect me."

Zheng Mingxian's expression darkened, and it was obvious that the experience at that time had left some indelible and deep trauma.

"I lost too much blood afterwards and don't remember much about what I went through. I just remember moving forward and entering a maze. I was almost trapped there forever."

"But I was lucky. I found a stone chamber."

There was more sadness in Zheng Mingxian's voice. "Inside, I found several dead bodies. Judging from their clothes and belongings, two of them were my predecessors in the stone industry, one was a predecessor in the funeral industry, and the other two were from other industries. And one of the predecessors in the stone industry was even my uncle, who went overseas that year."

Lin Wu was silent.

She discovered that as the investigation progressed, they would only get more and more confirmed death information about those people.

But they did not die in the glorious mission that would benefit future generations.

Instead, he died from the calculation of the above with a slight difference of thought.

If they had not gone overseas, they would not be unknown now. They might have become well-known figures in various industries, or winners in life with a happy and fulfilling life. People would always remember their high spirits and vigor.

But the fact is, they worked hard in secret for so long, but the end result was just a long sleep underground in darkness, unknown to anyone.

Zheng Mingxian closed his eyes. "They have old diaries on them, which can help people who find them later to understand their past."

"I saw the result of the '511' case. They were not completely wiped out, but they found a spy and investigated incognito. During the investigation, they found that the spy was working with the Huo family who harmed them to find another thing that could cause a disaster. They had no choice but to continue to hide their identities and search in many places."

"The Lingnan Meteorite Land is the area that the team is responsible for. They discovered the secrets of the underground city and the alien objects contained in the meteorite. This will bring a huge disaster to the outside world. We must prevent the underground city from opening."

"However, they didn't have time to spread the news. They were all too badly injured and collapsed there. They really didn't have the strength to walk anymore."

Finally, they placed their hope on a man walking on the stone who was still able to move, and gave him their only remaining supplies in the hope that he could successfully get out and tell people outside.

However, things did not go as planned. The man drowned in the deep water because the way out was too difficult and he did not have enough equipment.

Only a corpse served as a reminder to future generations who arrived eighteen years later.

Zheng Mingxian was silent for a long time when he said this.

Lin Wu didn't rush him and waited patiently.

After a while, Zheng Mingxian calmed down.

"One of the people in the stone room is the younger brother of the previous funeral master! I saw in his diary that when he was exploring Lingnan, he found out that his family had gone to Lingnan. He wanted to go and see them, but because of the urgent mission to support other places, he could only send them some dried blood vines that might be useful after knowing where his family had gone to Lingnan."

"He originally wanted to go back and take revenge after completing the mission, but he was unable to leave Lingnan. And—"

Zheng Mingxian's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he said with difficulty: "From other people's diaries, I know that he died while saving people from other lines. He was also the first person among them to die there."

Lin Wu was slightly stunned and couldn't help but sigh.

The other four lines killed his relatives, but he died for the relatives of the other lines who were there.

This is really... fate playing tricks on me.

"You all know what happened next. I was rescued by Miss Bai and the others, and not long after that I met you again." Zheng Mingxian said in a hoarse voice, "When we arrived at the meteorite site, I wanted to remind you to leave as soon as possible and not to encounter the foreign objects that our predecessors encountered. But my injuries were too severe, and I couldn't stay awake for too long, and I fell into a coma again."

Lin Wu nodded, "I understand. So how are you going to tell your father when you return to Beijing this time?"

"I……"

Zheng Mingxian didn't know.

He was sure of it now.

The news of the meteorite at No. 49 three years ago must have been done by the spy who cooperated with the Huo family! This was the truth that his father had been wondering about all these years.

But he didn't even know who the spy was.

If he told his father about this, given his father's temper, he would never give up and would report it to the higher authorities for investigation. However, the enemy was in the dark and his father was in the light, so his father would be in great danger and he would not know who was responsible for the accident.

The more Zheng Mingxian thought about it, the more headache he got.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Lin Wu from the corner of his eye, and asked as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Daosheng, what do you think I can do? If the news about this spy came from my father's mouth, the other party would definitely regard my father as a thorn in their side and kill him!"

"Do you think it would be dangerous if No. 49 knew about this from anyone?" Lin Wu asked back.

Zheng Mingxian was stumped by the question and looked at Lin Wu with an embarrassed expression.

Lin Wu pointed out: "Do you want me to tell No. 49?"

Zheng Mingxian lowered his head and said after a while: "I'm sorry."

Lin Wu leaned back and rubbed his eyebrows.

"I won't step out. I'm too lazy to get mixed up in this mess." Lin Wu said lightly.

Zheng Mingxian was a little anxious: "But there is no other suitable candidate besides you. If you say so, that person won't dare to touch you!"

"Then he doesn't dare to attack me secretly?" Lin Wu asked again.

Zheng Mingxian was speechless.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Lin Wu's thoughts were racing.

In the silence, she suddenly said: "But I have a candidate."

Zheng Mingxian looked up instantly: "Who?"

Lin Wu curled her lips slightly, sat up straight and leaned forward, supporting herself with one hand on her leg. She looked at Zheng Mingxian, "You need to go back to Beijing to meet this person in person."

"and you……"

"I'm going to the Black Back Mountain in the northwest to look for Bo Yuting. I don't have time to return to Beijing."

Lin Wu tapped his legs with his fingers and said, "Either you think about how to tell your father, or you do as I say. You choose one."

Zheng Mingxian said without hesitation: "I'll listen to you!" (End of this chapter)
