Lin Wu looked at the room carefully. The layout didn't seem suitable for installing miniature cameras and monitors.

Lin Wu went to the table and put it down. Smelling the aroma of the food, his stomach really growled.

 She didn’t show any pretense and just ate with chopsticks.

 As for whether there is any medicine in it, it’s not necessary.

The city chief wants to control her to do things in some way, and he can do it himself without using medicine.

Lin Wu was eating and thinking about what to do now.

  Although Lin Wu didn't tell Ling Xiu all her plans on the ship, she didn't lie either. She really wanted to test for herself how the city lord controlled the assassins below.

Only through personal contact can she know what medium the city lord uses to control, how to control it, and what it is.

  But there is something very strange.

Lin Wu had always been alert to everything around him in Killer City, but he couldn't think of when he had been controlled by this kind of control, and he didn't even notice it at all.

If Ling Xiu hadn’t told her, seen Ling Xiu’s embarrassment with her own eyes, and then went to verify it, she wouldn’t have believed it.

 Furthermore, Lingxiu's sudden attack was right in front of her, not with the city lord.

 So the city lord can control it even from a long distance.

In this way, even if the city lord did not show up when she defected, he could actually stop her.

"Then why didn't the city lord take action at that time? Was it really to let me go and ask me to come back to help him get rid of Fan in the future? Even if I didn't succeed, the city lord could let me go in exchange for letting me do it."

“It can’t be because Brahman had not threatened him at that time, and he had already wanted to get rid of Brahman.”

"so-"

Lin Wu’s hand holding the chopsticks suddenly stopped.

At that time, the city lord may have had some kind of accident, and he had no way to control them and punish them, and he recovered a little afterwards!

 That’s why she went to find Ling Xiu later and saw Ling Xiu like that!

What's even stranger is that Ling Xiu was not considered a traitor on the Killer City side at that time because she didn't go with them and acted like they were going to stop her. Then why did the city lord punish him? Just when she was looking for it? ?

Lin Wu thought about it and could only come up with one answer - the city lord let her know on purpose!

Even Ren Ke could tell that Fan treated her differently. The city lord had paid attention to Fan for so long, so there was no way he didn't know it. Therefore, the city lord probably thought that she, the person that Fan cared about, was the most suitable person to attack Fan. The city lord hoped that she would come back and be used by him.

But why did the city lord have the intention to kill Fan at that time?

Lin Wu put down his chopsticks and pondered.

 In general, what happened so far is probably because Fan did something she didn't know about when she defected, and it threatened the city lord, so the city lord acted like that. But the city lord was already unable to stop the rebellion at that time, and naturally he couldn't touch Fan, so she needed to take action and deliberately used Ling Xiu to encourage her to come back willingly in the future!

Lin Wu is more curious now, what kind of things did Fan De do to make Cheng take the initiative to kill?

Could it be that Fan knew about the city lord's weakness?

   No, if this is the case, Fan can take the opportunity to threaten the city lord and release him from control. But Fan is still respectful to the city lord on the surface, which shows that the control on him has not been released yet.

Thinking of this, Lin Wu suddenly turned around and looked at the door, remembering Ling Xiu's words about not being able to go out at night.

"Can't you go out..." Lin Wu slowly raised the corners of his lips, "But I have already thought about it. How can I not go to the city lord to admit my mistake? Tsk..."

 …

the other side.

 Ren Ke returned to his residence, but did not rest.

After waiting for a long time, footsteps finally sounded outside the door.

Ren Ke immediately went to the door, opened it and looked outside. The next moment his face was sluggish.

 The only young man striding towards her in the night was Fan.

 There was no one else behind him.

"Where's An Sheng?" Ren Ke couldn't help it, "The city lord really did something to her? Is she still alive?"

Van stopped.

He slightly raised his eyelids and looked at Ren Ke quietly. He spoke after a while, but the meaning of his words was unclear.

 “When did you care about her so much?”

Ren Ke blurted out: "She can only die in my hands! Otherwise, what will happen to the anger I have suffered because of her over the years?! And you promised me before that you would let me deal with her personally..."

Suddenly, she paused and strode up to the man, her cold eyebrows taking on an aggressive look.

“Are you lying to me? Even now, you still care about her and are not willing to let her die?!”

The man looked away slightly, without looking directly at Ren Ke, and said quietly: "Of course I won't lie to you. Since she secretly defected a few years ago, she is no longer mine. You also know that I I hate the betrayal of people around me. What's more, because of her, I was punished by the city lord to the ice prison and almost died there. How could I care about someone who almost killed me? "

Ren Ke's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Then why, as soon as I came back and told you that the city lord had taken her away, you left me and went immediately, without even paying attention to me calling you?"

 The man's eyes then returned to Ren Ke.

 After a few seconds, he raised his hand and stroked Ren Ke's face with his cool fingertips, giving him an illusion of intimacy. His voice was a little hoarse, "You know, she can't die. If she dies, I won't be able to find someone to go there for me. How will the control on us be lifted by then? Don't you want to really leave? Is it Killer City?"

Hearing this, Ren Ke seemed slightly relaxed and whispered: "Is it really just because of this that you went to the city lord to protect her from being executed for defecting?"

 The man hummed, his tone even a little soft, like an invisible comfort.

 But if Ren Ke raised his head at this moment, he could see that the man's eyes were dull and without warmth.

Ren Ke closed her eyes to prevent the man from noticing her emotions, but her body was still trembling slightly, which revealed some of her emotions.

 “Then I have another question.”

The man's tone finally changed, as if he was joking: "After I went out, I became more and more petty. Now I dare to question me one after another."

Ren Ke did not stop, looked up at him, and asked: "I never knew that Ansheng and you planned to kill the former deputy city lord. There are so many entanglements and secrets between you, why didn't you tell me? "

The man paused slightly, his expression turned pale, and he was about to take his hand back.

Ren Ke grabbed his wrist and stopped him from moving.

This rare move made the man’s eyes stay for a few seconds.

He didn't move. He ignored Ren Ke's offense and spoke with a coldness that made people fall into an ice cave: "Ren Ke, you are not as obedient as before. You know, I like obedient people."

Ren Ke's eyes were slightly red, but he insisted: "This is the first time I ask you, and it is also... the last time. Answer me, why? I want a satisfactory answer. Otherwise..."

Fan looked at her, "What else?"

Ren Ke clenched his hands little by little, gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise I will really kill An Sheng."

 The atmosphere around him suddenly darkened.

As if Ren Ke didn't realize it, he continued: "Fan, I am not only obedient. In the past ten years, you have chosen her between me and her every time. I will never be as important as her. I am not a Stone, I will be sad too! You..."

 Ren Ke choked up suddenly.

"You say you only care about me, but there are still so many entanglements between you and her. How can you make me believe that you no longer care about her and just want her to die?"

"Since she will die sooner or later, and she will die in my hands, can't you let me understand the knot in your heart? You can definitely find someone else to continue your affairs, and she is not the only one you need!"

 The man suddenly pulled his hand away and threw Ren Ke away.

Ren Ke staggered a few steps. With her skill, she would have been fine, but she still let herself fall to the ground. The dull pain made her stunned.

"The fact that the city wants her shows that she is special and only she can do it." The man looked condescendingly at the embarrassed Ren Ke on the ground, his tone was as cold as ever, "She can only die in my plan. If you touch her, let her My preparations over the past few years have fallen short, so you don’t have to stay. I don’t have time to keep a disobedient person by my side.”

 After saying that, he turned to leave.

 The next moment, the big hand was suddenly grabbed by someone.

 The man stopped, and after a while he lowered his head and looked at Ren Ke who came over to hold him.

Ren Ke closed her eyes forcefully. When she opened her eyes again and looked up at the man, she was very calm. Only the red circles under her eyes revealed her unhappy mood.

"I understand. I will never be so ignorant again. Don't let me go. I am still useful and can help you." Ren Ke said.

 The man looked at her.

After a long time, he leaned over, reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ren Ke's eyes, and helped her up.

 “That’s it.”

“The past is the past, it’s all gone, don’t mention it anymore. It’s only you who will be important in the future.”

 Ren Ke hummed in a low voice.

The man added: "I can't really bring back Ansheng from the city lord, but I have agreed with the city lord that after dawn, you can go to Ansheng and watch her. Don't let the city lord have the opportunity to do anything to her, and don't let her She works for the city lord."

Ren Ke lowered his eyes, "An Sheng won't listen to me."

"She will. In Lingnan, China, wouldn't you have already mastered her weaknesses?" the man said softly.

 Ren Ke suddenly looked up at him.

The man came closer and placed an instant kiss on Ren Ke's forehead, then moved to Ren Ke's ear. His hoarse breath made Ren Ke tremble, "I don't care that you lied to me. You don't want me to know her weaknesses." I can understand her staying around. Then it's up to you, you won't let me down, will you?"

 Ren Ke clenched his hands.

After a moment, she nodded and said hello slowly.

 “You’re so good, you deserve a reward.” Fan rubbed Ren Ke’s head, picked her up horizontally, and walked towards the house.

Ren Ke trembled slightly and finally closed his eyes, but the smell of blood overflowed from his mouth.
