665 The Terrifying List
The air was terrifyingly quiet. Hu Wu could vaguely sense that he was in a hotel.
The rain seemed to have gotten heavier again, pattering against the window, and one could even hear the whistling of the wind.
The bed under his butt was soft and skin-friendly. It must be the round waterbed in room 605.
âI have a question. After you knocked me unconscious, how did you get me into the room?â Hu Wu shrugged and asked.
Lu Benweiâs voice turned cold. âAnswer me honestly. Have you become a believer in the God Welcoming Association?â
âI say, brother, youâve really wronged me.â
Hu Wu wanted to raise his hands, but unfortunately, he was bound and could not move. Even if he showed the slightest chance of breaking free, he would be knocked unconscious by Chu Yan. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong and was extremely depressed.
âBrother, did you kidnap me with the hotelâs tools?â
âStop interrupting and answer me!â Lu Benweiâs voice turned cold as he said sternly.
âAlright, alright, Iâll answer. You said that Iâm a believer of the God Welcoming Association. Let me tell you, thatâs impossible!â Hu Wu said.
âHow?â Chu Yan held the brick and asked coldly.
âHow do I prove it?â Hu Wu shrugged. âJust call the Paranormal Report Center and tell them that Iâm here. I think it wonât be long before my former subordinates fly armed helicopters and blast this place into a pile of mud with RPGs.â
âWhat do you mean?â Lu Benwei frowned.
âWhat else can I say? I was framed,â Hu Wu casually replied, causing Lu Benwei and Chu Yan to look at each other.
âNow, Iâve become the number one target of the Law Enforcement Bureau.â
Chu Yan was suspicious at first. âThen why did you appear in the downtown area so blatantly? Why did you help us forge our documents and talk to the police?â
Hu Wu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, âNo matter what, Iâm still a night watcher. Iâve worked my way up from the bottom, so I know the Law Enforcement Bureau too well. And I have a list of names, so they wonât dare to act rashly.â
âAre you referring to the Law Enforcement Bureau?â Lu Benwei was shocked.
âOf course not.â Hu Wu smiled mysteriously.
Lu Benwei was surprised again and asked, âWhereâs the name list?â
âYou want to know? Let me go first.â
Immediately after, Lu Benwei also became vigilant. âWhy should we believe you?â
The room fell into silence again, so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
After a long time, Hu Wu heaved a sigh of relief.
âHow about this? Iâll tell you someone, and you might understand. Do you know Gan Yan? Heâs also in Qingling City! Heâs the director of the Law Enforcement Bureau of Green Spirit City,â Hu Wu said calmly.
âGan Yan, itâs him?â Lu Benweiâs pupils constricted.
He recalled the thin and bashful Gan Yan. Although Lu Benwei had expected that his identity was not simple, when he found out that he was now the director of the Law Enforcement Bureau, he could not help but be shocked.
âHeâs one of the officers of the God Welcoming Association?â
âThatâs right! Two months ago, when Gan Yan landed in the Law Enforcement Bureau, I became suspicious and started a secret investigation.â Hu Wu heaved a sigh of relief.
âA believer of the Welcoming Church in the government of Hai Province!â Lu Benwei said his guess in shock.
âCorrect!â Hu Wu raised his eyebrows excitedly.
âGet lost! Whoâs on the list?â Lu Benwei cursed.
âI canât reveal this. In short, there are too many people. We might need to do a big purge!â Hu Wu raised his eyebrows.
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan broke out in a cold sweat.
If it was as Hu Wu said, and Hai Province was riddled with holes by the God Welcoming Association, the consequences would be unimaginable. It would cause a huge shock to society.
Letting out a long sigh, Lu Benwei asked, âThen tell me about Fang Xiaoxiao first. You shouldâve known that she has the ability to predict the future, right?â
âThen answer me first. How did you know that I was hiding something from you?â Hu Wu asked, âJust because you said I donât know how to handle cases?â
Lu Benwei pondered for a moment. âThat was just the fuse. What really made me sure was when we went downstairs together.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhen the hotel manager asked me if I wanted to stay longer here?â
âYes.â
âOh,â Hu Wu said meaningfully.
According to their plan, they would be able to end this once they knew Fang Xiaoxiaoâs identity. Today was the day, regardless of Fang Xiaoxiaoâs identity, be it the mysterious human or the monster. Lu Benwei and Chu Yan would end their identities as Lu Hongyi and Chu Jiayue.
However, when he went downstairs, Hu Wu wanted to prolong his stay at the hotel. It was obvious that things were far from over.
âSo, you want us to monitor Fang Xiaoxiao?âLu Benwei asked.
âItâs not a form of surveillance. At most, itâs a form of protection!â
Hu Wu shrugged.
âI said, let go of me first?â
Lu Benwei had no choice but to release Hu Wu.
The moment he saw the light again, Hu Wu immediately lit a cigarette.
âOh my god, Iâm suffocating.â
Hu Wu took a deep breath and revealed a smug expression. He looked extremely comfortable.
Lu Benwei sneered. âBe careful of cancer. Even if you have the constitution of a king, you wonât be able to save yourself.â
âYou canât tell a dying person that.â Hu Wu pursed his lips.
Lu Benwei did not want to listen to his nonsense. He said, âTell me your purpose. Whatâs the purpose of the God Welcoming Association?â
âCatch Fang Xiaoxiao.â
Hu Wu exhaled. âTo be precise, I caught someone who can predict the future.â
âItâs Fang Xiaoxiao, but the people from the God Welcoming Association donât know.â
âYou guys already knew about Fang Xiaoxiaoâs existence?â Lu Benwei asked in surprise.
âOnly I know. The God Welcoming Association only knows of the existence of such a person but didnât know who.â
Hu Wuâs eyes narrowed into a line.
âThink about it. A person who can predict the future and see through life and death is so abnormal! If it were me, Iâd do the same.â
âAfter Gan Yan landed at the Law Enforcement Bureau, he wanted to find Fang Xiaoxiaoâs information. Fortunately, I hid it.â
Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief.
âItâs a pity that they found out about my investigation of the higher-ups in Hai Province,â Hu Wu said dejectedly.
Lu Benweiâs lips twitched.
âI was just about to praise you, but now it seems like thereâs no need for that.â
âWhat about the dead?â Chu Yan frowned.
âIt has nothing to do with Fang Xiaoxiao,â Hu Wu took a puff of his cigarette and said.
