She curled her lips, "I forgot to tell you that I have your whereabouts in the past six months under my control. I know everything you did. It's already known in the association that you used your status as a member of the Qin Association to bully those rich girls, so I won't mention it. Let's talk about something more important."
"For example, you once caused trouble in Ghost Street, but the people in Ghost Street didn't come looking for you afterwards. It shows that someone with a deeper background than them helped you deal with it."
Wu Pengfei's expression changed slightly.
Lin Wu half-knelt, with his elbows on his knees, and continued, "But the people behind you should help you with conditions, right? Let me guess what it is. Could it be that they want you to use the more glorious identity of a member of the Qin Association to get close to some famous families and win them over?"
Wu Pengfei's hands, which were supporting him on the ground, clenched suddenly.
Lu Guichi, who was sitting on the bedside, was surprised and said, "Winning over? Are the people behind him crazy? He has bullied the daughter of someone else, how can he win over those people?"
Lin Wu said: "I checked, Wu Pengfei didn't do such things to those important families. Instead, he targeted some less important families. Therefore, the people behind him turned a blind eye to what he did."
"What on earth do you want to do?!" Wu Pengfei couldn't help it.
Lin Wu stood up, looked down at him, and said slowly: "Now that you have lost your status as a member of the Qin Association, the outside world also knows that you have offended me and will no longer have anything to do with you. You can't get close to them anymore, so will the people behind you still protect you?"
Wu Pengfei clenched his teeth, lowered his head and did not respond.
But his reaction was enough to confirm her idea.
Lin Wu said, "If you tell me honestly whether I am protecting you or not, I might be able to raise my hand and make your life easier. But if you are stubborn and refuse to give me the answer I want, I can just let you go."
Lu Guichi understood what he heard. He tutted his tongue and said sarcastically, "Mr. Wu, you better think it through. If you walk out like this, you will still be the disgraced and ruined Master Wu from last night. If you are no longer useful to the people behind you, will they still keep you? When those people you offend know that you have no backers, will they let you go?"
Wu Pengfei's face suddenly turned pale.
Lin Wu didn't give you a chance to react and said to Lu Guichi, "Tell Manager Song to throw him out."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.
"Okay!" Lu Guichi called out, "Someone come!"
The next moment, footsteps were heard approaching.
Wu Pengfei's mind was blank, and some images that made him tremble flashed through his mind quickly. If he went out like this, the people who were offended would be minor, but the people behind him would be the most serious! He knew so much, the people behind him would definitely not let him go! In great fear and panic, Wu Pengfei did not have time to think too much, he suddenly stood up, rolled and crawled over to hug Lin Wu's calf, grabbed her trouser leg and said: "I will tell you! I will tell you! As long as you are kind enough, I will tell you!"
Lin Wu had already walked to the door at this time, facing Bo Yuting who was sitting outside.
In front of him was a plate of chopped apples and a small pile of peeled pomegranate seeds. He raised his eyebrows at her and mouthed to her that she could finish them as soon as possible and eat them.
Lin Wu hummed, turned his head and lowered his gaze to Wu Pengfei, "Let go."
"I won't! You have to promise me first that you can protect me!" Wu Pengfei said in a trembling voice.
Lu Guichi strode over and pulled him away, "Take your dirty hands away, didn't you hear me? If you want to talk, just say it. If not, get out of Shenggui!"
Wu Pengfei stumbled and fell. Fearing that Lin Wu and Lu Guichi would really leave and ignore him, he quickly shouted, "It's the head of the funeral industry in the five elements of the black market!"
Wu Pengfei said anxiously, "I don't know who Leng is, I just know he's the head of the funeral industry! I don't usually see him, I only have a phone call to contact him regularly! But I know he's in North City now, I agreed to the Lin family's invitation to come to North City, it's also because I can't stay in Beijing anymore, so I came to North City to develop and formally meet him! But for some reason, he didn't take the initiative to contact me to tell me the meeting place, so I haven't met him yet!"
Lu Guichi didn't quite believe it and looked at Lin Wu for questioning.
Lin Wu thought of the phone call he made that night and nodded. Wu Pengfei did not lie.
Leng Linfeng did not take the initiative to contact Wu Pengfei, probably because she had intervened in Zhang Yuge's previous affairs. He was afraid that if he made any further moves, she would follow the clues and investigate him. However, he did not expect that the Lin family would accidentally send the clue of Wu Pengfei to her.
Lu Guichi understood everything immediately and whispered, "No wonder Master Jiu condescended to meet that Leng last night. It turned out that he wanted to delay him and prevent him from coming to the Zhou family dinner?"
Lin Wu hummed, looked at Wu Pengfei and said, "Just being the head of the Five Elements is not enough to be so prestigious in Ghost Street. Who else is there?"
Wu Pengfei hesitated and didn't speak.
Lin Wu turned and left.
Wu Pengfei was so shocked that he thought she was not going to let him go again, and blurted out: "It's a man named Huo!"
Lin Wu paused, "...Huo?"
"That's right!" Wu Pengfei quickly stood up from the ground and said anxiously: "Although I had the phone number of the funeral director before, I seldom contacted him. And all the things I did were ordered by a man named Huo! This man is as unfathomable as the funeral director, and very powerful. Every time I offended someone, he could settle it and told me to just do what he ordered!"
Lin Wu turned around and looked at him, "What's this person's name? What does he look like? Who is he?"
Wu Pengfei said: "I don't know."
"Hey, I have a bad temper, are you kidding us?" Lu Guichi rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.
Wu Pengfei was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, almost hiding at the foot of the bed. He said loudly with a look of injustice on his face, "I really don't know! I contacted this person through the phone! But the other party used a disposable phone, which could not be used after the call. He never told me his real information and didn't allow me to ask! So, you go ask the head of the funeral industry, he must know!"
After saying this, Wu Pengfei thought of something and quickly said, "By the way, I know someone in Ghost Street who seems to know this Mr. Huo!"
Lin Wu asked: "Who?"
Wu Pengfei said: "The second cobbler who lives at No. 81 Ghost Street!"
Lin Wu's expression changed slightly: "Are you sure?"
Seeing that Lin Wu's reaction was not right, Lu Guichi asked in confusion: "Wuwu, do you know him?"
Lin Wu frowned and said shockingly: "He is my teacher."
