Lin Wu stood in front of the huge French window, looking down at the bustling night scene outside with deep eyes.

The colorful neon lights complement each other, reflecting the cold light.

After a long time, Lin Wu took out his mobile phone and sent a message to an unfamiliar number.

【Teacher, let’s meet. 】

…

The next day.

Lin Wu woke up after only a few hours of sleep.

Zheng Qi booked a flight back to Beijing at 8:30, so they packed up quickly and left, having breakfast on the plane.

"Master, are you going to Ghost Street directly after you return? Or are you going back to Xijin Mansion to rest?" Zheng Qi looked at the itinerary and added, "Also, Master Zheng and Mr. Cheng Man have contacted me and hope to meet with you. There are also a few people from No. 49."

Lin Wu washed his face with cold water to sober up, looked up at his gloomy self in the mirror, and said, "No one, let's go to the ghost street."

Zheng Qi paused, "Where is Fourth Master Bo? Fifth Master Bo seemed to have something urgent to do and left last night. Fourth Master Bo learned about your whereabouts from him. He called me, but I haven't responded yet."

Lin Wu pinched her fingertips and said, "See you at lunch."

She was just about to ask Bo Qingsheng something.

Zheng Qi nodded and took out his phone to reply.

At this moment, there was suddenly some faint noisy noise outside.

Lin Wu thought that Miyano and the others were getting ready to leave, so he put on his coat and went out with Zheng Qi.

When the door opened, Gong Ye, Gu Siyin and Lu Guichi were indeed outside, but there was also an unexpected person.

——Gu Chengbai.

He looked dusty and exhausted, as if he had been working non-stop for several days and had rushed here overnight without even a break.

At this time, Gu Chengbai was staring in amazement at Lu Guichi, who was standing behind Gu Siyin and looked a little uncomfortable.

"Si Yin told us about you last night." Gu Chengbai's eyes were full of bloodshot, filled with complex emotions that were hard to explain. He raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch Lu Guichi, but in the end, he stopped in mid-air and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry for the past."

Lu Guichi was also not used to it.

In the past, because of Lu Guiyan, he was familiar with Gu Chengbai, and the other party sometimes indulged him, but after all, they were not close, and he was a little afraid of Gu Chengbai.

It felt weird that we suddenly became family.

He said hesitantly, "Don't mention the past."

Gu Chengbai hummed softly, and then he caught a glimpse of Lin Wu coming out from the corner of his eye. His dark eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately stepped forward: "Wuwu!"

Before Lin Wu could even open her mouth, Gu Chengbai hugged her tightly.

"You scared me to death! How could you run to the Polar Killer City without saying anything? Did you know that we have been worried for several days?" Gu Chengbai quickly let go and nervously checked Lin Wu's body, asking, "Are you really not injured? Are you okay?"

Since they knew Lin Wu was coming back, Gu Tangzhang, Gu Chengbai, Gu Shiqing and Gu Siyin couldn't wait and were eager to see Lin Wu.

However, the Gu family was still in the spotlight, with countless eyes on them, so it was difficult for them to leave Beijing. Gu Siyin was really worried, so she secretly came to the Magic City with Bai Jing and the others to pick up Lin Wu.

Of course, this was soon discovered. Gu Tangzhang and his two sons found a way to suppress the dissatisfaction of certain people. Then Gu Chengbai, who had the cleanest background and had never been involved with No. 49, took the opportunity to rush to the Magic City.

Gu Chengbai learned too many things overnight. He was in a daze on his way here and it took him a long time to digest and accept it.

Lin Wu's expression eased a little, and he said, "Brother, I'm fine."

Gu Chengbai was stunned: "Wuwu, what did you call me?"

Lin Wu looked at him: "Brother."

Gu Chengbai felt a pang in his heart and choked up. He raised his hand and touched Lin Wu's head, and said, "Well, let's go home. Dad and Shiqing are still waiting for us. Let's go."

Lin Wu said, "I won't go back for now. After I return to Beijing, I will go to the ghost street. I think my teacher, the second leather craftsman, may be there and did not leave the country with my mother. I want to find out about her mother."

"Xiao Si, then I'll go with you." Miyano said immediately.

Gu Siyin also said: "Wuwu, I will go with you too."

Lin Wu shook his head. "Zheng Qi, just follow me. You guys can leave. It's not convenient with too many people. We will be discovered. Even if my teacher is here, he won't show up at that time."

Looking at the worried Gu Chengbai and Gu Siyin, Lin Wu said, "I'll go back to Gu's house in the afternoon." She paused, "I won't leave tonight."

Gu Chengbai and Gu Siyin immediately became happy.

Gu Chengbai was so happy that he invited Gong Ye: "Master Gong San, you are Wu Wu's friend. If you don't have a place to go for the time being, why don't you stay at Gu's house for a while?"

Gong Ye looked at Lin Wu, smiled and refused: "No need, I have a place to stay in Beijing."

It's really not possible to go to the hotel.

It was rare for Xiaosi to get together with his family, so he didn't bother them.

Gu Chengbai heard this and did not force it.

The time was almost up, so several people went downstairs and left.

Gu Chengbo and Lin Wu walked side by side, asking her how she was doing in Killer City. Gu Siyin also came over to listen.

Lu Guichi stepped back a few steps and looked at them, lowering his head somewhat dejectedly.

Lin Wu noticed Lu Guichi's gaze and said, "Brother, Lu Guichi will come with us. Is there any vacant room at Gu's house? If not, he can live with me in Xijin Mansion."

Lu Guichi looked up immediately.

Gu Chengbai said, "Wuwu, Lu... um, cousin, he's not coming with us. He has his own place to go."

Lin Wu frowned, "Where does he have..."

Lu Guichi at the back pursed his lips and interrupted, "Wuwu, I won't go to Gu's house. In fact, I have a private property in Beijing. It's OK for me to live there. It's convenient..."

As they were talking, they approached the main door of the first floor. The door had a sensor system and opened automatically.

A cold male voice suddenly sounded.

"What do you do there?"

"You've only been away for a month, and you've already let your mind wander. Now you don't even want to come home?!"

Lu Guichi stopped talking abruptly, raised his head, and looked past the few people to the door.

Several cars were parked at the other end of the red carpet. In front of one of the cars, there was a young man in formal attire and a suit.

He is tall and thin, slender and well-proportioned.

His handsome face was cold and pale, his eyebrows were deep and dark as ink, and he gave off a very oppressive feeling.

It was Lu Guiyan! Several people were stunned.

Lu Guichi also stayed where he was.

Lu Guiyan didn't look much better than Gu Chengbai. There was fatigue visible between his brows, and it was obvious that he had not had a good time during this period.

He took a deep breath, took a long step, and walked closer.

Lin Wu turned her head to look at Gu Chengbai, and when she saw him give her a look, she immediately understood.

"You go first, I have some household chores to take care of." Lu Guiyan stopped in front of them and said.

Lin Wu glanced at his watch and said, "Fifteen minutes. Any longer and we'll miss our flight."

After saying that, he stepped aside and walked towards the car not far away.

Zheng Qi followed behind her.

Gu Siyin and Gong Ye looked at each other and followed with tact.

When Gu Chengbai passed by Lu Guiyan, he raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying, "It's different now. He is my brother."

Lu Guiyan glared at him.

Gu Chengbai said, "Just do it for my sake and beat me lightly. Otherwise, if my dad finds out, he won't forgive me."

"roll."

Lu Guiyan only gave him one word.

Gu Chengbai slipped away quickly.

Lu Guichi, who had not yet come to his senses, watched Lin Wu and his companions drive away decisively.

At this moment, a shadow fell in front of him and Lu Guiyan stopped in front of him.

Lu Guichi's mind was blank. He just stared in vain, not knowing how to react, and not daring to look the other person in the face.

He was panicking and wondering what to do.

He never thought that he would see Lu Guiyan at this time!

What was the other party here for? Was he here to call him to task for what happened earlier? Or...

Suddenly, Lu Guichi caught a glimpse of the man in front of him raising his hand.

Lu Guichi thought the other party was really going to hit him, so he reflexively shrank his neck and dodged backwards.

The next moment, his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, and he was pulled forward with great force, crashing into an embrace that was already unfamiliar to him.

For a moment, Lu Guichi was stunned.

Lu Guiyan hugged Lu Guichi tightly, and shouted coldly with a choked voice: "Why are you hiding? Now that you have a biological brother, you don't recognize him? Why didn't I know this before? Are you still so heartless?!"

The sourness in his chest instantly overwhelmed Lu Guichi like a tide.

He was both incredulous and sad, and his emotions that had nowhere to vent eventually turned into uncontrollable crying.

"no……"

"I thought you didn't want me anymore..."

Lu Guiyan rubbed his head, patted his back, then let him go and wiped his face with his sleeve, saying, "You are useless. You are so old, and you can still cry like this."

"Brother..." Lu Guichi looked at him with tears in his eyes and opened his arms to hug him.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, he was slapped in the face, and was completely stunned.

Lu Guiyan sneered and settled the account: "Where did you say you were going just now?"

"If I don't come, you're not going to go home, right?"

"You made such a mess at home, and we were investigated by No. 49. You caused such a big mess for my brother and my parents, and you still want to hide somewhere else?"

"I'm telling you, don't think you don't have to kneel down and admit your mistakes just because you cry back!"

Lu Guichi held his head, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He rushed over and hugged Lu Guiyan, ignoring his disdain, and covered his body with tears and snot, saying, "I was wrong, brother! I will kneel, and I am willing to kneel in the ancestral hall for as long as I want!"
