Chapter 385 Come find me first
Yan Xun pointed to the words "delicacies" in the record, "Have you seen this anywhere else?"
Li Wu shook his head. "It's written in a vague way, and the person who recorded it probably didn't know what it was either."
But this thing always appears after that lord of the Gao family has brought disaster upon them, and it seems to be an offering prepared to appease the wrath of that "deity".
But how could that person from the Gao family be a deity?
Yan Xun thought that just from His protection and the inexplicable yet eerie offerings, it was an evil thing.
"We can't wait until we attend a banquet to find out what it is," Yan Xun said.
They didn't know the guest list, and even Mr. Gao was only 5 years old when the last banquet started.
"At the last banquet, that lord neither attended nor prepared any delicacies."
After all, at the last banquet, that esteemed person bestowed a secret medicine upon Master Gao's father, so there was naturally no reason for him to be dissatisfied with the Gao family.
This also explains why the important person from the last banquet did not appear, which is why the Gao family found it so strange.
“Since Gao Ruiyun has already prepared this banquet, he has most likely also prepared this ‘delicacy’.” Li Wu said, glancing at Yan Xun.
Yan Xun immediately understood his meaning, "You want me to test you tonight?"
“He can answer three questions for you,” Li Wu said.
These are the rules set for the instance. The initial purpose of these rules was to help players understand their favorability towards Master Gao, and thus determine whether they can successfully complete the instance.
"Are you so sure he'll contact me again tonight?" Yan Xun asked doubtfully.
"Hmm..." Li Wu remained silent, keeping his composure.
Yan Xun: "..."
"What if?"
"If that 'what if' really happens, it might not be good news," Li Wu said with some concern.
"It's highly likely that Master Gao discovered some information, which is why he changed the person he summoned." Li Wu had heard about Gao Wen's house arrest. "For example, the Fifth Concubine is planning to escape... Who do you think he'll cause trouble for?"
Yan Xun first pointed to himself, and then to Li Wu.
He was the person Gao Wen wanted to escape with, while Li Wu was theoretically in charge of the entire Gao family's backyard.
In this story, Gawain is only thinking about escaping, has a very ordinary relationship with the other ladies, and has no close confidants.
Now that something has happened, Gao Ruiyun wants to inquire about the situation, and the first person he wants to ask is Li Wu, followed by Yan Xun, whom he led away to escape.
In short, neither of them can escape.
Li Wu didn't speak, but just sighed silently. After a while, he asked Yan Xun, "Did you discover something that made him take such a big step?"
"I guess so," Yan Xun said vaguely, looking at Li Wu.
He hadn't forgotten that Lou Yanchuan was the president and Li Wu was the vice president of Huisu.
He didn't mention the phone and Gao Wen when he came in, partly because he was hesitant about Lou Yanchuan's identity.
Li Wu is a smart man to be able to serve as the vice president of the Retrospection Association.
He sensed that Yan Xun was worried about something because he didn't bring up his and Gao Wen's discoveries after Yan Xun entered the room—logically, their goals were the same: to clear the dungeon and leave.
So Yan Xun's hesitation must have been due to some unforeseen event that occurred without his knowledge.
In addition, before Yan Xun and Gao Wen left his place, they said they wanted to try climbing over the wall, but now Gao Wen has been arrested for no reason... Li Wu thought about it and knew what Yan Xun was hesitating about.
"Gao Wen was reported by the president," Li Wu suddenly asked.
Yan Xun was not surprised that Li Wu could think of these things, and he also frankly stated, "There is no evidence, it's just a guess."
“But you think it’s very likely…” he said, “Where did you come from?”
Between Gao Wen's confinement and Yan Xun's arrival, a period of time had passed, and Li Wu guessed that Gao Wen must have gone to see someone else before seeing him.
Lou Yanchuan is out of the question. Of the remaining people, Chi Yuan and Yan Xun aren't that close, leaving only Sun Zhao and Gu Jia.
“Before you came, you went to see Gu Jia and Sun Zhao first,” Li Wu said.
Sun Zhao is a veteran player, so it's not surprising that Yan Xun sought him out, but Li Wu himself is also a veteran player—
"Did they not come to see me because they already suspect me?"
He spoke calmly, but Yan Xun could still discern a hint of "grievance" in his composed tone.
"It must be an illusion!" Yan Xun thought. "How could Li Wu possibly feel wronged?"
He looked at Li Wu's relatively calm face, and finally said after careful consideration, "No, not exactly."
“That means there was some suspicion,” Li Wu immediately replied.
"..." Yan Xun shrugged. "If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do."
Seeing that Li Wu remained silent, Yan Xun immediately poured him a cup of tea. "Drink tea, drink tea, calm down."
He carefully recalled Li Wu's actions and, after roughly ruling out his suspicion, he spoke up, "I went to find Gu Jia and the others mainly because I discovered clues related to them."
Li Wu, holding the hot tea Yan Xun had poured for him, asked, "What clue?"
Yan Xun explained about the phone and the Polaroid camera, but to her surprise, Li Wu didn't show any understanding. Instead, she asked, "Isn't there a picture of me in the Polaroid camera too?"
"Then why didn't you come to me first?"
