Chapter 1 Lin Wan'er's Concerns

Lin Wan'er sized up the figure before her. She hadn't expected that Wu would have grown to this extent in such a short period, faster and stronger than Number 4 had predicted.

But then she thought of Number 13's prediction, that Number 10 would eventually die at his hands, and an unspeakable feeling welled up in Lin Wan'er's heart.

If… if she hadn't agreed to Number 4's plan and given him Xia Tan's door, wouldn't Number 10 still be alive?

Before she could continue thinking, Wu spoke first, his scarlet eyes fixed on Lin Wan'er's eyes, his voice extremely cold, "What… are you doing here?"

"Looking for someone," Lin Wan'er said bluntly.

"He's fine. He doesn't need your concern," Wu retorted unceremoniously, a strange curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. "As long as you don't show up, we… are both fine."

Without realizing it, Wu had grown accustomed to being with Jiang Cheng and the fatty, even accustomed to using words like "we." Once, during a mission, the fatty had even dared to put his arm around Wu's shoulders.

Rarely, Wu's body had stiffened for a moment, but in the end, he hadn't pushed him away.

Everything was moving in a good direction, and Wu didn't want anyone to ruin it, especially the woman in front of him.

Having read Jiang Cheng's little diary, Wu understood all too well Lin Wan'er's position in Jiang Cheng's heart, just like his own feelings for the sister who had created him.

But now, Wu felt a natural sense of vigilance towards all women who held the title of "sister." Su Dan Novel Website.

And that love-struck Wu Yingying! Just thinking about it made Wu go crazy. He had almost succeeded, just almost! It made him almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and he couldn't sleep well for several nights.

Lin Wan'er couldn't help but frown. She didn't understand why Wu's expression was so strange. One moment he was arrogant, and the next, there was a hint of resentment.

Had something happened recently that she didn't know about?

Had something provoked this top-tier ghoul?

She stopped thinking and glanced around, her tone becoming somewhat urgent, "I have something very important to tell them, about that bus."

Hearing the word "bus," Wu's expression changed.

Five minutes later, in the second-floor bedroom.

Jiang Cheng and the fatty stood together, their gazes fixed in one direction. Lin Wan'er sat in the chair in front of the desk, crossing her legs, looking very much like a superior scolding subordinates.

Jiang Cheng frowned. "Show some respect. This is my room."

"This whole building is mine," Lin Wan'er said nonchalantly.

The fatty had just been shaken awake from his sleep and wasn't fully conscious, but even so, he could see that Lin Wan'er's suppression of the doctor was comprehensive, 360 degrees with no blind spots.

It wasn't just a matter of ability, but also the kinship between them.

As if feeling he had lost face in front of Wu and the fatty, Jiang Cheng snorted and was about to retort when he suddenly saw Lin Wan'er sit up straight, her eyes fixed on his chest. "That bell you're wearing is quite unique!"

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a second, then looked down and saw the bell resting quietly on his chest.

But… how could this be?

He had clearly hidden the bell inside his clothes before seeing Lin Wan'er. How had it come out on its own?

Not only that, but after hearing Lin Wan'er's words, the bell actually began to shake slightly, and an aura of chilling coldness emanated from it, filled with a strong sense of vigilance.

Even the fatty could tell that the Dahe Niangniang (River Goddess) was unhappy.

Thinking about it, it made sense. A strange woman showing up at their door late at night, asking to speak privately with her husband, and in such a manner, wouldn't make anyone happy.

Others might not know this woman in front of him, but Jiang Cheng understood her well. Lin Wan'er must have thoroughly investigated the Dahe Niangniang, Wu Yingying's origins.

Perfect, he could take this opportunity to resolve the Wu Yingying issue.

Lin Wan'er walked forward with a smile, enduring the pressure from the bell, and gently placed her hand on it. In an instant, an aura of colored light surged out, completely enveloping the bell. "I mean no harm. You should be able to feel that," Lin Wan'er said softly.

As if truly able to feel Lin Wan'er's goodwill, the bell didn't struggle or resist, but allowed the aura to engulf it.

At this moment, a light flashed in Wu's eyes as he lay on the ceiling. He could feel that with Lin Wan'er's strength, it was impossible to suppress the Dahe Niangniang so easily. She was using a rather strange method to temporarily isolate the Dahe Niangniang's perception of the outside world.

To put it bluntly, the Dahe Niangniang couldn't hear what was being said in the bedroom.

Wu had prepared himself, thinking that Lin Wan'er would also try to attack him, but after appeasing the Dahe Niangniang, Lin Wan'er made no further moves.

"Xiaocheng." Lin Wan'er looked at Jiang Cheng, the nonchalant attitude in her eyes disappearing, replaced by an undisguised concern. "You've done well. The one inside the bell is an Enforcer from the old chairman's domain, and the most terrifying existence on the bus, second only to the old chairman."

"Every Enforcer is a top-tier ghoul that has gradually grown through a long evolution, constantly devouring ghosts and even ghouls from other doors."

"The fact that you can defeat an Enforcer is enough to show your current abilities."

Lin Wan'er turned her head, looked at the fatty, and her expression softened a lot. "Not just Xiaocheng, Number 10, you've done well too."

The fatty was caught off guard by this sudden praise, scratching his head and lowering his voice, somewhat embarrassed. "Boss Lin, I didn't really do much here. Wu did the fighting, the doctor got married, I'm just… just a errand boy, a so-called high-end game carry."

Not dwelling on this issue, Lin Wan'er got straight to the point, her expression becoming serious. "Although you're progressing quickly, the Watchers are progressing even faster. They have no bottom line anymore. They've not only started to eliminate their own companions who oppose their plan, but they're even using a large number of disciples on the verge of collapse to attack major cities, including a significant number of high-level disciples."

Having experienced the bar incident, Jiang Cheng fully understood how urgent the situation had become.

"What's your plan?" Jiang Cheng asked Lin Wan'er.

"We plan to use a large number of high-level disciples to attack the old chairman's domain at the same time." Lin Wan'er took a deep breath, a light appearing in her eyes. "Even if the old chairman's abilities are strong, he can't devour so many high-level disciples at the same time. Once the old chairman's domain is disturbed, it will be the best opportunity for you to open a gap and leave!"
