MTL - After Being Kicked Out of a Wealthy Family, She Became a Fake Daughter and Shocked the World-Chapter 548 So you came to threaten this city lord?
Lin Wu stopped suddenly and looked at the curtain for a moment.
At this moment, Lin Wu didn't know if it was his own imagination, but he seemed to hear a faint rustling sound inside, like something slowly moving and rubbing on the ground.
There is no doubt that this movement is a bit strange at this moment.
But when Lin Wu listened carefully again, it was gone again, as if it was really an illusion.
Lin Wu said he was not curious about the city lord whom he had never met before, and he did not believe it.
But the appearance of the tattoo reminded her of danger, and she had no idea whether there was a secret in it that the city lord did not want to reveal.
And what the city lord said just now meant that she would die if she saw what was inside, but he didn't want to take action yet and wanted to continue cooperating, so did he warn her?
Finally, Lin Wu retracted his hand and took a step back.
She looked at the layers of curtains and said slowly: "Now that I appear here, it seems that the city lord really understands what I mean and plans to cooperate?"
When the voice from inside came again, it was a little careless.
“Why do you think this city wants to cooperate with you?”
“Don’t forget, you are a traitor to Killer City. The damage you caused to Killer City has yet to be repaid by this city owner.”
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows: "A few years ago, I got rid of the former deputy city lord and left. The city lord had great magical powers. If he wanted to attack me at that time, I seemed to have no chance to resist. But the city lord did not show up at that time and only sent his personal guards to deal with it. Isn’t this proof enough? If not, why did the city lord ask Ling Xiu to pick me up today?”
"Since the city lord let me go once, I naturally have to reciprocate the favor once. When a wise man speaks, don't beat around the bush. There is no need. The city lord should speak frankly. What do you want me to do this time and what can you give me."
The people inside seemed to find it interesting and laughed softly, but the voice coming out was hoarse, cold, and full of oppression.
“Ansheng, you seem to have forgotten your current situation.”
"You have defected and returned. The city lord can dispose of you at any time if he wants."
"Even if you do things for this city lord, you should do it. Maybe this can make this city lord spare you and not care about the past."
“So, where do you have the confidence to ask for something from the Lord of this city?”
Lin Wu said calmly: "You gave it to me, City Lord."
"oh?"
“Fan is not someone who can be easily defeated like the former deputy city lord. To get rid of him, I don’t know how much energy it will take. If you are not careful, you will be killed.”
Lin Wu folded his arms slowly and continued: "Why should I do such a thankless thing if there is no profit motive? It's better to just lie down and rest in the Killer City."
"After all, even if I am locked up, City Lord, you cannot kill me casually. Unless you don't care about the outside world and my people come to trouble you. But some troubles can be avoided. After all, Killer City is not without money. Give me one more freeloader."
"Then the result is obvious. I will be locked up until someone comes to find me. City Lord, you decide which one is more beneficial, killing me or keeping me alive. Then why should I bother?"
After saying that, Lin Wu sat down directly on the spot, looking like a rogue who didn't want to work.
"Of course, City Lord, you can kill me now. But I'm not afraid of death, so this doesn't threaten me." Lin Wu rested his elbows on his legs, rested his chin on his fingers, and said lazily.
The people inside seemed to laugh angrily at her, "I can't threaten you, so you come to threaten the lord of this city?"
Lin Wu corrected: "It's discussion, it's cooperation, how can it be a threat? Didn't I sincerely lay out all the possibilities in front of you, City Lord, and let you think about your choice? I don't have any choice. Opinion."
“You don’t want to suffer any loss.”
“It mainly depends on the city lord.”
Lin Wu behaved very modestly and obediently.
The people inside gave a cold, unclear sound.
Suddenly, several unexpected bells rang at the door.
Lin Wu keenly felt that the air pressure inside the curtain dropped sharply, and the entire room seemed to be several degrees colder.
The people inside said at this time: "Okay, get out, Lingxiu will arrange it for you. When you feel better, come back to see the Lord of the city."
Lin Wu thought for a while and tentatively said, "What if I can't reflect on the main consequences of the city?"
"I think you should be as suitable for the Ice Prison as Fan. There is also a place to sleep there." The voice coming from inside was calm, but it contained a chilling murderous intention.
Lin Wu said calmly, stood up from the ground, and walked towards the door thoughtfully.
Suddenly, the little finger seemed to be hooked, a little cold, and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Wu suddenly stopped and lowered his head.
Nothing at all.
She looked back again, and the curtain was still thick and silent, motionless.
The city lord's hoarse voice sounded like he was absent-minded: "Why, just think about it now?"
Lin Wu curled up his fingertips slightly, wondering if she had been nervous for too long and was really delusional?
The tattoo on his shoulder gradually faded away. Lin Wu came back to his senses and said, "The city lord is quite good at dreaming. How can I leave if you don't open the door?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became eerily quiet.
The door to the huge room opened with a loud bang.
Lin Wu turned around and walked away. As she was about to go out, the door slammed shut behind her again.
Lin Wu stopped unexpectedly, turned around and looked at the door, thinking about how the city lord controlled it.
After looking for a long time and unable to see the doorway, Lin Wu had no choice but to leave.
She didn't want to touch it. Considering the city lord's unpredictable behavior, it was not impossible that he might have put poison on the door.
Lin Wu walked very quickly this time and arrived at the entrance in a short time.
As she approached, the secret door appeared automatically, revealing the outside.
Lin Wu looked up and paused slightly.
In addition to Mo Lang and Ling Xiu, there was also a young-looking man outside.
His brows are long, the bridge of his nose is high, and his bones are as sharp as a chisel. He is as handsome and as deep as a statue, but there is a cold look on his face. He is dressed in black and his aura is as sharp as a razor.
Lin Wu paused for half a second before continuing to walk out.
Since she appeared, the three people outside looked at her.
Just as Ling Xiu was about to step forward, the extra young man stepped in front of Lin Wu and blocked her way.
He was extremely tall, and when looking at Lin Wu, he had to lower his head and lower his eyes, and slowly said: "What did the city lord say to you? What does he want you to do?"
This person is the protagonist that Lin Wu and the city lord talked about just now.
The current deputy city lord of Killer City is Fan.
Lin Wu didn’t look at him, but turned to Lingxiu and said, “The mayor asked me to go away and reflect, saying that Sister Lingxiu, you arranged a place for me.”
Ling Xiu was slightly stunned, then nodded.
“Then let’s go.” Lin Wu said.
Ling Xiu glanced at the man and turned around.
Lin Wu was about to follow when the man grabbed his arm and had to stop.
Mo Langdeng immediately took half a step forward and asked, "What do you mean, Deputy City Lord?"
Fan forcefully pulled Lin Wu back behind him and said softly: "She was originally a person under my command. She made a mistake and she should be dealt with according to the rules. There is no need to trouble the city lord. I will explain it to the city lord later."
He turned to Lin Wu again, stared at her and said, "Just wait for me here. The city lord's place is not your place to stay."
After saying that, he let go and turned around and entered the passage.
The secret door disappeared instantly.
The corridor became silent.
Mo Lang looked at Lin Wu with a somewhat ugly expression.
Ling Xiu also looked back at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu: “…”
No wonder the city lord wanted to get rid of him just a few years after Fancai took over as deputy city lord.
Not long after she came back, she saw with her own eyes that Fan dared to disobey the city lord to this extent. During her absence, Fan and others had defied the city lord more times than they could count.
"Don't worry about him. Where are you going? Go now." Lin Wu said to Ling Xiu.
If she leaves with Fan today, she will directly lose the chance of cooperation with the city lord. Attitude still needs to be expressed.
Lingxiu looked at her deeply, turned around and led the way.
The two of them first went down the same route to the first floor, then took the stairs on the other side to the fourth floor, and finally stopped in front of a room.
Lingxiu said: "You can stay here for these two days."
Lin Wu simply pushed the door open to go in.
Ling Xiuhu said: "Don't go out without someone to take you. Remember to go to bed at night, don't wake up, and don't go out."
Lin Wu stopped: "Why?"
What's going on? When Fan said she couldn't stay in the city lord's place, it was just a literal meaning. Wasn't it disobedient?
Lingxiu looked at her and said after a while: "You should listen to the deputy city lord and follow him, or leave, and don't get involved in the affairs of Killer City."
Lin Wu wanted to ask more, but saw that Ling Xiu had already turned around and left, so he didn't want to say more.
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows, gave up asking any more questions, pushed the door open and went in.
Inside is a guest room with a size of more than 40 square meters. It can be seen that it has been cleaned in advance and everything is clean and complete.
There is still warm food on the table, which must have been delivered not long ago.
