Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng was touched by what Secretary Wu said, but just because someone said it doesn't mean you should automatically assume that they should do it.

"Uncle Wu, is it permissible for a guild like ours to possess such lethal weapons?"

"Openly, of course, is not an option. But behind the scenes, every organization like this has a few lethal weapons. Don't worry about this; I'll handle it."

After discussing this matter, Secretary Wu handed another folder to Yu Meng.

"This is some information about the fourth battlefield, sent by Hua Shulang."

"Hua Shulang? Are you still in contact?" Yu Meng asked curiously as she took the folder.

"Yes, we've always kept in touch. After all, he's a kid who came from the Jingchuan base. No matter what, he'll always have feelings for Jingchuan." Secretary Wu wasn't speaking up for Hua Shulang; he genuinely believed it.

"I don't have any prejudice against him. It's his business what he chooses, and I don't think the choice I gave him is the best for him." Yu Meng also didn't have any thoughts about Hua Shulang not joining her sect.

But she didn't expect that when Hua Shulang left again, he would send a message to Secretary Wu.

"What did you say?" Yu Meng asked casually as she opened the folder.

"The original reclusive families of the Fourth Battlefield, after the chaos of battle, have had this battlefield taken over by a mysterious force," Secretary Wu said with some emotion. Who would have thought that simply setting up a fake dense forest to escape would lead to the Fourth Battlefield changing hands?

"Hua Shulang found out that they are investigating the origin of those eyeball bracelets."

Yu Meng: "This matter should be confidential. How did he find out? After all, no matter who got that bracelet, they wouldn't make it public."

"This is a bit of a coincidence." Secretary Wu turned on his intercom and forwarded his conversation with Hua Shulang to Yu Meng.

"You know there's a mother and daughter bone-drawing pair in his team. Their identities seem a bit special. Hua Xiaozhi didn't want to go into details, and I didn't press him for details. This information was given to Hua Shulang by the mother."

"Did they come here with Hua Shulang's group?"

"No, they've always stayed in hotels and have never been to the clubhouse," Secretary Wu replied definitively.

Yu Meng tapped her fingers erratically on the table. "Uncle Wu, do you think Hua Shulang's return and subsequent departure this time is related to them?"

"Really?" Secretary Wu was also a little unsure.

"We have these kinds of bracelets, does Hua Shulang know about them?"

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. I don't know if he's come into contact with these bracelets. Our people are all trustworthy; they definitely won't tell anyone. If Hua Shulang saw them himself, it's fine. But if his teammates saw them too, then it's hard to say."

"Sigh, when Liu Wei brought this up, I only thought that with the battlefield in chaos, they would have more opportunities to get out. Who would have thought that such a huge bomb had been planted?"

Secretary Wu chuckled at Yu Meng's statement. "That bracelet, besides making people tell the truth, isn't anything special. Aren't there several things in Alien that can create illusions?"

"Its abilities aren't anything special, but that kind of alien is a jungle alien, so its origins are somewhat extraordinary."

Secretary Wu sighed, "These days, even aliens care about their origins, and we've been dragged into this mess."

"Now it seems that we can't touch anything in the dense forest. I sent a message to Niannian and the others, asking them to disguise the bracelets they have."

Yu Meng didn't delay and immediately sent a message to Niannian.

Niannian replied quickly, "Fourth Sister, we're already doing what you asked for, it's just a little ugly." Niannian even laughed out loud when she thought of something funny.

"How's it going on your end? Is everything alright?"

"It's alright, we'll be there in another day. We'll be careful, and I'll message you when we arrive."

Yu Meng turned off the intercom. "Niannian has already disguised everything, there shouldn't be any problems."

Secretary Wu chuckled, "Those people are all shrewd; they hide their good stuff well, each one more secretive than the last."

Next, Secretary Wu talked about some trivial matters. The young master of the Hou family came to see you twice, just as you were out. He didn't know what had happened to their family; they had agreed on a month-long stay, but on the morning you returned, a group of people suddenly came and took him away. I repeatedly confirmed that he said he was one of their family's guards. But they haven't given me any news since, and there's been no word from Butler Han either.

Then he talked about that cripple. He looked terrible when he came. His clothes were tattered, his shoes were leaky, and his face wasn't just pale, it was ashen. I wanted to run away when he stood in front of me.

But when it comes to paying for medical treatment, I don't really understand why they can produce so much nice jewelry. If they have money, why don't they treat themselves better?

When Secretary Wu spoke, his eyes still held a deep sense of confusion.

"Where is he? Has he left?"

"They didn't leave. They said they'd watch the gate for us, no money needed, just a meal."

Yu Meng's heart skipped a beat for some reason.

Did he tell me his name?

"I asked, and I said that if I wanted to work here, I needed to create a file, but he said he forgot and told me to just write one down."

"You agreed?" Yu Meng asked with a smile.

"How could that be? I refused, but he—" sighed Secretary Wu, rubbing his temples, "the very next day, he went straight to the gate himself, and he was very serious about it."

"Didn't you try to talk to him?"

"Why didn't he go? He was playing the victim, saying he just wanted a place to stay, as long as he could sleep, and then he just hung his head and didn't say a word. If you asked him too much, he said you sent him."

"It's rare to find someone that Uncle Wu can't handle. I brought him here so Qian Chuan could treat him, not to take him in." Yu Meng didn't realize he was this kind of person when she first saw the cripple.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. The construction team measured the place where you used to live and said that it's not suitable for building a house there anymore. They said that even if you build there, there's no guarantee it won't collapse. I'm puzzled. Why can't we build there? But they said the foundation is unstable, so building there would be a waste of time and it would collapse sooner or later, which would hurt someone. If I insist on building there, they won't take the job, saying it would damage their reputation."

Finally, Secretary Wu looked at Yu Meng and said, "Teacher Yu, unless there's something absolutely necessary, let's stay at the clubhouse! I can't keep up!"

Yu Meng smiled. Thinking about it carefully, these things really did have something to do with her in some way.

"Uncle Wu, you know my personality. I really don't want to go out, but I have no choice," Yu Meng said, feeling wronged. She genuinely didn't want to move.

Secretary Wu wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't. It wasn't Yu Meng's fault at all. Was his request a bit too much?
