The second cobbler looked at Lin Wu with a somewhat complicated look. He opened the drawer under the sewing machine, took out a piece of white jade and handed it to Lin Wu, saying, "Show this to Chi Yangzhi, and she will know that you are my student. I will also contact her in advance when the time comes. Tell her about you.”

Lin Wu nodded, and after taking it, he clenched it unconsciously and said nothing.

The cobbler sighed imperceptibly: "Girl, do your best, don't force yourself."

"I see."

Lin Wu lowered his head and looked at the white jade in his hand. It was round and smooth with no lines. There was only the word "Chi" outlined with silver lines in the middle.

The cobbler stared at her and suddenly said: "Forget about those troublesome things, let's talk about you."

Lin Wu looked up at him, "I have nothing to say, it's still the same as before."

The second cobbler shook his head, "Usually when you come to find me, you are alone. This year, there are two more people around you."

"They are my friends. We happened to be free, so we came together," Lin Wu said.

The cobbler twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, "You are always smart, you should know that I don't mean this."

Lin Wu pursed his lips and stopped talking.

The second cobbler didn't ask any further questions. He stood up while holding on to the sewing machine table, patted Lin Wu's shoulder with his dry hand, and said, "I won't interfere in your affairs, and I won't say anything. But you have to remember the word propriety. Don’t let yourself get in too deep. Otherwise, you will be sad if one day you realize that what you thought is completely different from the reality.”

Lin Wu was startled.

Just when she wanted to ask more clearly, the cobbler had already turned around and his voice was a little softer.

"Go out and call the young man named Bo outside. He seems to have something to ask me."

Lin Wu looked deeply at the second cobbler, nodded silently, turned around and walked out.

Not far outside, Lu Guichi was already running around anxiously, and Bo Yuting stood with his arms folded, looking at the shop of the second cobbler with a deep look.

When Lin Wu finally came out, the two of them immediately stepped forward.

"Wuwu, how are you? He didn't do anything to you, right?" Lu Guichi asked.

Lin Wu shook his head: "He is my teacher, how could he be harmful to me? You are overthinking."

She looked at Bo Yuting and said, "The cobbler said you can go in."

Bo Yuting was obviously startled. After a moment, he nodded, walked around Lin Wu and Lu Guichi, and walked slowly inside.

Lu Guichi wondered: "Wuwu, what about me? Didn't the second cobbler say he saw me?"

Lin Wu turned his head and looked at him speechlessly, "What can you do with the cobbler? Even though you had some business dealings with Gui Street before, you didn't dare to go big because of your brother, and the cobbler wouldn't do it. You keep it in mind.”

The corner of Lu Guichi's mouth twitched and he muttered: "Then I am a figure after all. He has seen you, but not me. It makes me look so unknown."

Lin Wu: "..."

Is this something worth comparing to?

……

In the tailor shop, after Bo Yuting entered, he saw the cobbler sitting behind the sewing machine, taking a piece of fabric to measure and cut.

He didn't speak, and just sat down where Lin Wu originally sat, looking at him quietly.

After a full ten minutes, the cobbler used a sewing machine to make a small cloth bag and sealed it with an elastic cord.

Bo Yuting saw him find a piece of paper, write some words on it, then fold it and stuff it into the small bag.

At this time, the second cobbler's hoarse voice slowly sounded: "Young man, you are quite determined."

Bo Yuting calmly changed to a more comfortable position and said, "If I didn't have concentration, I wouldn't be here today. Listen to Wu Wu, do you know that I have something to ask you?"

"Yes, you can ask now." After the second cobbler finished the small bag, he looked up at Bo Yuting.

Bo Yuting nodded, "Okay, Wuwu and I are friends, and you are Wuwu's teacher. Rounding things off, you and I are also considered our own, so I won't go around in circles. Senior, why do you want to send someone to monitor me?"

The cobbler didn't look surprised and said very calmly: "It's not me, I just followed orders."

Bo Yuting understood everything: "That person behind you? Is it the one named Huo?"

The cobbler nodded.

Bo Yuting twitched his lips and smiled playfully.

"I checked the people you sent to monitor me. They are the same people who were lurking around me before and gave me wrong information to lead me abroad. Can I understand that the people behind you have known about it for a long time? He is monitoring my every move and knows what I am doing. In other words, he is inextricably related to what I am investigating?"

The second cobbler looked at him steadily and said, "Yes."

"So that force had penetrated into China eighteen years ago, but it was not yet strong at that time and was relatively weak, so it kept a low profile and remained anonymous?"

"good."

"Then their methods more than ten years ago are exactly the same as they are now?"

"almost."

"So, were the several unsolved cases that happened at that time all done by them, in order to quietly dismantle the various forces at that time?"

The cobbler's eyes darkened slightly, "What case are you referring to?"

Bo Yuting weighed in his mind whether to speak out, and finally his trust in Lin Wu took over. He thought to himself that since Lin Wu trusted the second cobbler, he would take a gamble like her.

He then said: "The '511' case."

The cobbler clenched his hands on the table and spoke after a while, but what he said first was not the "511" case.

He calmly narrated: "I started to monitor you because that person gave me an order three years ago. I must report all your actions that I can find to him. At that time, I was still wondering why he had someone secretly remove you." When so many wealthy families were vigilant about not touching the five major families, why did he suddenly want to spy on you from the Bo family? But he didn't tell me the reason, so I had to guess as I went along."

"It wasn't until more than a month ago that my people suddenly found out that you were actually investigating a case named '511' eighteen years ago. After I reported it to that person, that person suddenly became different from before. He seemed very strange. Taboo and angry, I immediately arranged an obliteration operation against you. With careful planning, the murderous intention was silent. But I didn't expect that you noticed it in the end and escaped."

"When he learned the result, he was furious. He could only be more cautious. In order to be foolproof in the future, he did not arrange any further actions. He asked me to continue to monitor you. That's why you caught the person from the ghost street not long ago."

He looked at Bo Yuting and suddenly sneered: "The young man is quite arrogant. After dealing with the person, he left him in front of my store. Are you trying to show off to me?"

Bo Yuting's expression did not change: "Junior is just joking with you."

"But I'm not kidding you." The cobbler smiled slightly and gave the fatal blow, "I will not allow my students to be with you."

Bo Yuting's indifferent expression cracked, and he frowned and said, "Why?"

"You know the reason." The cobbler said coldly, "You are right, the '511' case was one of that person's handiwork. Although I don't know the specific situation, I know one thing, that is - - This case is the most dangerous in the history of China. Not only does he not want anyone to investigate, the Chinese department also prohibits anyone from investigating. Don’t you know this? That’s why he is so angry that he wants to kill you."

He looked at Bo Yuting and warned: "If you continue to investigate with everyone, the situation will be unimaginably dangerous. Are you going to bring my students into danger?!"
