MTL - After Being Kicked Out of a Wealthy Family, She Became a Fake Daughter and Shocked the World-Chapter 576 I have never betrayed the city lord
Lin Wu looked at the other party, neither saying yes nor no, but just stepping forward.
Ren Ke had no choice but to be vigilant and follow him.
After approaching, Lin Wu stopped two meters away. They did not deliberately hide their footsteps, and the other party could notice their arrival.
“Senior, this is the first time we have met.” Lin Wu looked at the man and said, “To be honest, I didn’t even know your specific identity before I asked someone to find you.”
The person with his back to them is tall and thin, probably a young man.
Ren Ke: “???”
First time meeting? Don’t know me yet? ? Are you kidding? !
Ren Ke looked at Lin Wu and asked why he wanted to cooperate with such an uncontrollable person.
Lin Wu shook his head slightly to signal her not to do anything.
At this time, the man spoke up, a very calm voice: "But this isn't the first time I've heard of you."
Ren Ke was stunned.
Lin Wu was also startled for a moment.
The man stood up slowly and looked back at them.
In the light of the fire and flashlight, the other person's face clearly fell into their eyes.
Very young, with deep but ordinary features, the kind that would not stand out at all in a crowd. But his expression was calm and resolute, and his eyes were as sharp as blades. His gaze for just a moment gave Lin Wu and Ren Ke a strong sense of threat. This makes people who have seen him never look down upon him.
"He is very dangerous." Ren Ke calmly pulled Lin Wu back and warned in a low voice. After a pause, she said in confusion: "Why do I think he looks familiar?"
"Of course you look familiar." Lin Wu's voice was as usual, not shying away from the other party at all, "He is a killer raised by the city lord himself, Chongjun."
"Huh? This name is so familiar, isn't it..." Ren Ke's expression suddenly froze, "Are you referring to the one who encountered the secret of the city lord on the 18th floor of the ice prison and persisted under the control of the city lord for six hours? , was almost killed by the city lord, and was finally sent to a sanatorium and secretly imprisoned by the city lord, right?"
Lin Wu: "Is there a second Chongjun?"
Ren Ke: “?!”
Ren Ke immediately dragged Lin Wu back quickly.
Lin Wu was confused: "What are you doing?"
"He was already taken away by Fan, and he cooperated with Fan and told Fan so much information! The city lord wants to kill him again. No matter how loyal he is to the city lord, he can't do anything for the city lord!" Ren Ke stared at the young man defensively. The man immediately drew his gun and loaded it, "Lin Wu, how dare you go into the sea with such a person without any worries?!"
The man opposite looked at them indifferently and had no reaction.
Lin Wu came to his senses and pulled away Ren Ke's hand with a headache, "Because I was the one who saved him back then."
“Oh so... ah???”
Ren Ke turned to look at Lin Wu in confusion.
"Back then, the city lord asked Mo Lang to go to the nursing home to kill him. When Zheng Lian found out, he asked me for instructions. I felt that it was impossible for the city lord to touch someone for no reason. Plus, I couldn't find his identity information, so I became curious about him. , thought it might be useful.”
"So when Mo Lang took action, I asked Zheng Lian to pretend to pass the city lord's urgent order, which prevented Mo Lang from continuing to take action. Mo Lang left directly without verifying whether he was really dead."
"Later, before my people had time to take him away, Fan's people took him away quickly. I saw that Fan was also so interested, so I decided to use a trick to get him into Fan's hands."
Lin Wu looked at the man, "Facts have proved that my decision at that time was right, and it really played a big role."
"However, I really didn't know who you were at the time. Zheng Lian had no way to verify your identity, let alone ask the city lord. So in the past two years, I have known nothing about you. I only knew your identity. Place of detention.”
"It wasn't until I decided to go back to Killer City that Zheng Lian accidentally heard from the city lord that you seemed to be inextricably related to Fan's purpose for the city lord, so I decided to take a risky move and arrange people to help you escape. Maybe You can play a role that I would like to see."
No matter what the effect is, as long as it is a variable, it may be beneficial to her. Now it seems that she did the right thing by letting him come out.
The man's expression finally changed a little. He took something out of his pocket and threw it to Lin Wu.
Lin Wu raised his hand to catch it, it was the brooch.
She had made some changes to it before.
Lin Wu pressed the secret button. It was hollow inside and contained a note. It was the map of the sanatorium and the arrangement of the manpower on duty, as well as three words: Killer City.
Ren Ke followed with eyes wide open.
Lin Wu raised his head and met the man's gaze, and there was more exploration and consideration in his eyes.
The other party said quietly: "In return, I'm here."
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows in disbelief, "I thought before that you would probably help me out of gratitude for my saving your life. But now it seems that this kind of affection is far from enough to impress senior. Senior I came here for others." The man looked at her steadily, "For example?"
"City Lord." She said, "Senior, you just said that you have heard of me a long time ago. To be narcissistic, maybe I am quite famous in Killer City. But when I became famous, didn't you, senior, have already been imprisoned in the city? Sanitarium? So you heard about my timing, probably when I first entered Killer City."
"How old were you then?" Ren Ke said incredulously, then suddenly paused and was surprised: "When you first entered Killer City, the city lord noticed you??"
Lin Wu's eyes darkened: "I have tattoos on my body, and the blood of the Chi family seems to be very special, and people of the same clan can feel it."
Just like Lu Guichi, he recognized her just like that.
It is not surprising that the city lord recognized her.
But it doesn’t matter whether you recognize it or not right now, what’s important is…
"If the city lord knew about me early, then many things that happened later were actually caused by him on purpose."
“For example, when I ran away for the first time as a child.”
“For example, my life-and-death training and fighting later.”
“For example, I want the most important Nanyang route to support my defection and severely damage Killer City.”
"Even when Zheng Lian later replaced Mo Lang, secretly passed on messages to me, did things for me, and stole the City Lord's Order, Nine Tokens, and the Wind Phoenix Tablet for me, it was all with his tacit approval. It's not that he didn't know."
"He is about to leave Killer City for a few days, and the news that you will be able to work, he also deliberately let Zheng Lian know and pass it to me, right?"
Hearing this, Ren Ke hissed.
Zhong Jun on the opposite side looked deeply and finally looked at Lin Wu seriously. He nodded and said an earth-shattering "yes".
Lin Wu fell silent.
Ren Ke's mind was spinning very fast at this moment, and he said: "You know what the city lord has done, but haven't you been away from Killer City for many years...Do you still have contact with the city lord?"
Zhongjun glanced at her and did not deny it.
Ren Ke stepped back unconsciously and said dullly: "So you have never betrayed the city lord! Then what you told Fan...were all things the city lord asked you to tell him on purpose?!"
Zhongjun finally spoke up this time, he said: "Not bad."
He tilted his head slightly and looked in a certain direction, with an expression that was indescribably focused and serious.
The tone is light, but there is no room for criticism: "I was saved and raised by the city lord. The city lord treats me with great kindness, and I will never betray him."
"Why?" Lin Wu found it difficult to understand. Her mind was stuck for the first time. "Why did the city lord deliberately put you in the sanatorium, why did he deliberately let Mo Lang kill you, and why did he deliberately let Fan know about the eighteenth floor of the Ice Prison? Something? Is it also a lie that you accidentally stumbled upon the secret of the eighteenth floor of the Ice Prison?"
"And..." She frowned, "Why did the city lord recognize me as a member of his clan thirteen years ago and never said anything about it, yet... still do that?"
Zhongjun’s eyes returned to Lin Wu, “I can’t answer you, you have to ask the city lord.”
Lin Wu closed his eyes and suppressed the messy thoughts, "Then I still have a question. Is your appearance here and going to the sea with me...the city lord's intention?"
Zhongjun admitted frankly: "Yes, I want to ensure that you get to the city lord safely."
Lin Wu and Ren Ke looked at each other with blank expressions.
“Then let’s go.” Lin Wu said.
Ren Ke turned around and looked around, "Where's the equipment? Why can't I see your diving equipment?"
Zhongjun glanced at the watch he was wearing and said, "Come soon."
??
Zhongjun seemed to feel something, turned his head and said, "Here he comes."
The two of them were stunned. They followed what he said and saw a flashlight light not far away, and there was another person!
“You arranged for two people?” Ren Ke asked Lin Wu unexpectedly.
Lin Wu frowned, "I didn't."
"Then this is..." Ren Ke looked at the approaching figure in surprise. After a while, she saw him clearly, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
“Is he not dead??”
I saw that it was actually an acquaintance—Mo Lang, whose identity had been replaced by Zheng Lian!
