In the evening, I returned to Xijin Mansion from Beijing University.

Lin Wu was planning to call Cheng Man one last time to inquire. If he still had no news, he would go find someone in person, but he received another message to remind him.

The third-year graduate student who joined Chi Yangzhi in the morning approved her friend application and sent an apologetic explanation message, saying that he had been in the laboratory all day and was about to finish the experiment when he was free. I'll be back later.

Lin Wu was not in a hurry, so he clicked on his message to reply.

  【I want to trouble the senior, it doesn't matter if I wait. 】

The other party responded instantly this time: [Introducing myself, my name is Chen Yue. What is the junior sister’s name? 】

  【Lin Wu. 】

   Okay, if it’s convenient tomorrow, junior sister, how about meeting at four o’clock in the afternoon? I will discuss the subject content with you. 】

Of course it’s convenient for Lin Wu. He can just send her back to the place he decided.

The message was just sent out and was seen by Bo Yuting, who was coming back from the kitchen carrying fruit.

 “Who is this?”

 The man asked casually and sat down next to Lin Wu.

Lin Wu said: "My teacher gave me a new topic. He is Ding's partner. We will meet tomorrow to discuss it in detail."

Bo Yuting blurted out: "Male?"

Lin Wu: "Yeah."

 “Isn’t there a woman?”

Bo Yuting asked immediately.

Lin Wu clicked on Cheng Man's page and replied nonchalantly: "Yes, but where can it be so easy to find a suitable partner who is available? Not to mention, my subject is a bit difficult for me, but it is easy for them, so they can come and take care of me." It’s not something you can encounter just by chance.”

Bo Yuting thought about it, so he stopped worrying and said, "Then you should pay more attention to rest. There are already enough things to do, so don't put more burden on yourself."

Lin Wu nodded: "I know."

Just as he was about to dial Cheng Man's number, another message from Gu Shiqing popped up.

Just as she was about to open it, she saw Gu Shiqing asking her if she could give him Miyano's personal contact number.

This asked Lin Wu to go in and reply: [What do you want his contact information for? Is there any cooperation? For cooperation with the Fourth Special Administrative Region, you don’t have to go to so much trouble to find him. I can just sign and approve it directly for you. 】

Gu Shiqing replied: "It's not official cooperation, it's the second brother who has something to do with him." 】

 Lin Wu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

 Private matters?

  Since when did the two of them become so familiar?

After thinking about it, Lin Wu finally sent it to him and called Miyano to let him know.

After sending the message, Lin Wu suddenly remembered the last meeting ceremony.

At that time, Gu Shiqing seemed strange.

She turned to look at the man beside her who was doing work, "When I went to Gu's house, what was the meeting gift you prepared for Gu Shiqing?"

"Gu Shiqing's?" Bo Yuting browsed the contents on the computer screen and replied smoothly: "I don't know either."

  “?You prepared it, you didn’t know?”

Lin Wu was confused.

Bo Yuting explained: "Didn't I prepare it in your mansion in Rzhou? At that time, Brother Gong San saw it. He said that what I prepared for Gu Shiqing was not very good, and if he modified it, it would have unexpected effects. I let him take it. He gave it to me the day before returning to China."

At that time, it was rare for Miyano to be so kind to him.

Moreover, before Gu Shiqing left the Rzhou Residence, he had bumped into him once. Gu Shiqing asked an unfamiliar servant in the residence to send him to see Miyano. He didn't know what to do, and the two of them seemed to have a little secret.

Of course he doesn't mind Miyano messing around with the meeting ceremony.

Lin Wu was stunned when he heard this.

Bo Yuting saw her reaction and became interested: "What? You don't know about Gu Shiqing going to see Brother Gong San by himself?"

This is a rare excitement for Gu Shiqing. He cannot miss it to avoid being teased as his brother-in-law later.

Lin Wu was even more surprised: "I don't know."

 In fact, Miyano and the others were responsible for finding the servants and guards in the mansion for Lin Wu. Lin Wu was too lazy to care about them and only asked not to disturb her. Therefore, she doesn't care when there are more or less people. It’s not like they could harm her anyway.

With keen intuition, Bo Yuting immediately said: "They are hiding something from you, otherwise they would not be able to meet behind your back. They must be doing something that you cannot find out."

Lin Wu was slightly startled and looked down at his phone.

Immediately, she shook her head and said: "Forget it, don't ask. I'm not sure about Gu Shiqing, but my third brother will not do anything detrimental to me. He doesn't want me to know, so he must have his reasons."

Bo Yuting was a little jealous of this trust, so she approached him like a baby and asked for a kiss.

Lin Wu didn't even react, he was so stunned by his kiss that he finally pushed him away and asked what was going on, but he changed the subject and said it was time to call Cheng Man.

Lin Wu glanced at him, then dialed Cheng Man's number without asking any more questions. I didn’t expect it, but it was picked up instantly.

 However, the sound that sounded was——

 “Daosheng?”

 “Zheng Mingxian?”

Lin Wu and Bo Yuting looked surprised together.

When she spoke, Zheng Mingxian over there was more sure that it was her, and said hurriedly: "Daosheng, are you in Beijing now? That's great! Last week Cheng Man returned to Xuanmen to find his father, but since then he has not There was no news about him when he showed up again. I went to see him, but Uncle Cheng refused to meet me. The day before yesterday, I begged my father to ask how Cheng Man was doing. When my father came back, he only told me that Cheng Man was recovering from his injuries and didn't say anything else. .”

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became: "I suspect that the things Cheng Man asked about Uncle Cheng made Uncle Cheng very unhappy, so he restrained him and prevented him from showing up. And you don't know, Uncle Cheng has always been very strict with Cheng Man. He is not allowed to interfere in too many things. He must have made Uncle Cheng angry this time! If Uncle Cheng gets angry, he will be beaten and punished, but his injury is not healed yet!"

 “You wait, wait.”

Lin Wu felt a headache when he heard this, so he stopped him and asked, "Why is Cheng Man's cell phone here with you?"

"It's not a mobile phone, it's a phone card." Zheng Mingxian said, "Before returning to China, he and I exchanged the cards. If he went back to ask his father at that time, it might not go well. Changing my card will make it easier to locate where he is. where."

“Then where is he now?” Lin Wu asked.

“I don’t know. I asked someone to locate it, but I couldn’t find the signal of my card.”

 Zheng Mingxian was worried and anxious just because he didn't know where he was.

 He asked: "Daosheng, wouldn't it be convenient for you to find Cheng Man?"

 You must definitely look for it.

Lin Wu also pointed to Cheng Man to ask about the mural on her behalf.

But looking at Cheng Wenwei's attitude, it's a bit strange.

 Could it be that the mural was not as simple as she thought, and there was a hidden secret behind it?

Lin Wu thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I will go to Xuanmen tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Then I'll wait for you at Xuanmen tomorrow morning..."

 “No, don’t go.”

Lin Wu interrupted him, "I need you to do me another favor."

"you say!"

Zheng Mingxian did not hesitate.

Bo Yuting, who was next to him, glanced at Lin Wu and could already guess what Lin Wu was going to ask.

Lin Wu said: "Let me ask you first, do you know what happened to the former funeral director nearly eighteen years ago?"

Hearing this, Zheng Mingxian’s side suddenly fell into silence.

Lin Wu narrowed his eyes slightly: "You know?"

"I..." Zheng Mingxian paused and asked unexpectedly: "Daosheng, why are you asking this?"

Lin Wu: "Answer me first."

Zheng Mingxian was silent, "...I do know a little bit."

"when?"

"It was in Beicheng that you told me that Leng Linfeng had a grudge against Wu Xing. I asked my father at that time, and he told me."

 “How much do you know?”

“Just...the previous conductor of the funeral and his family were all..."

Zheng Mingxian couldn't continue and sighed, "This is the fault of the other four lines."

Lin Wu asked: "What else?"

“What else?” Zheng Mingxian was stunned and asked in confusion: “What else is there?”

Lin Wu said bluntly: "After that incident, what happened to you Shi Xing and what did you do?"

Zheng Mingxian was confused when asked: "No. After that, my father used Shi Xing's resources to secretly help the funeral industry to compensate them."

Lin Wu and Bo Yuting exchanged glances.

Bo Yuting told Lin Wu through his mouth that Zheng Mingxian probably wasn't lying, he really didn't know.

Lin Wu then said: "What I want you to do is to find out what happened to you Shi Xing. You have to talk to your father in person. You can use dried blood vines. But I remind you again, don't let your father Know why you’re asking, otherwise you may be talked about in a way that’s not intended.”

Zheng Mingxian was startled.

Possibly realizing something was wrong, he hurriedly said hello and hung up the phone.
