Chapter 250: Bone Hellhound
Chapter 250: Bone Hellhound
Li Wu finished reviewing Doggy's memories.
Now, he had a rough understanding of the situation.
First, there was Old Lin's current predicament.
Essentially, he was as good as dead.
Along with a goblin, they were both killed by two leader-level summoned beasts.
After learning about Old Lin's fate, Li Wu surprisingly felt less urgent about the matter.
With Old Lin already gone, there was no point in rushing now.
Even if he went out and eliminated that woman immediately, it wouldn't make much difference.
He could kill her anytime.
The key issue now was that Li Wu had to figure out two things.
One, why did the rich lady treat Old Lin that way? Why did she hide it from him?
And two, who was that mysterious person at the end, and what was their purpose?
Li Wu felt like he was enveloped in a cloud of darkness.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about it at the moment.
He couldn't confront the rich lady and demand answers.
Even if he did, it might not yield any results.
Moreover, Li Wu now had a sneaking suspicion. Was the rich lady aware of Kong Yi's issues and still allowed them into the heritage site for some hidden motive? Further, he wondered if Old Lin's current state was orchestrated by the rich lady herself?
Trust could be strong, but it could also be fragile.
Sometimes it withstands the test of time but falters at a single trial.
In Li Wu's current situation, with his bodyguard absent and his own sense of security wavering, it was only natural for his trust in the rich lady to plummet after witnessing such events in Doggy's memories.
He now worried that if he rushed to confess, or rather, be transparent with the rich lady, what if she suddenly dropped her pretense and revealed herself as a big bad wolf? In comparison, dealing with the other woman seemed easier.
Her intentions were clear—to get close to him and gain his trust. Now that Li Wu was aware of the situation, he could simply wait and watch her performance, allowing her to expose her own flaws.
"It seems that for now, I can only feign ignorance and let myself be led.
If I want to do something, I'll have to wait for that unreliable bodyguard to show up."
In the end, Li Wu made the most helpless choice.
After setting the tone for his response, Li Wu shifted his attention from Doggy's memories to the little skeleton holding the transformed Doggy.
At this moment, the little skeleton was cuddling and petting Doggy.
Li Wu took a quick glance at Doggy's attributes.

...
As Li Wu examined Doggy's attributes, he heard a distinct 'crack' sound. Looking up, he saw Doggy gnawing on the little skeleton's bone frame.
Little Skull's skeleton was fine, but Doggy's teeth almost fell out.
Li Wu took a look and saw that Little Skull and Doggy were playing well together, so he turned to check on Little Skull's phone.
To be precise, he was checking on the status of Little Skull's little brothers.
By this time, Little Skull's phone already showed an increase of 9 little brothers, with 7 Bone Knights and 2 Skeleton Musketeers.
Additionally, with the original Steelclad Skeleton Knight, Little Skull now had 8 second-tier little brothers, just 2 short of making up a full 10.
And for these remaining 2, Li Wu quickly provided them for Little Skull.
Weren't there 2 first-tier Skeleton Musketeers? Li Wu directly took these 2 first-tier Musketeers and cooked them together with the 2 Steelclad Wild Pigs that Little Skull originally had.
A few hours later, Li Wu's command had gained 2 more Steelclad Wild Pig Knights.
With this, Little Skull's 10 second-tier little brothers were complete.
In the 6th month of the 9th year, in the 1st book, 1st bar, 1st look, no mistake!
"The conditions for the Skeleton Commander's advancement have been met. Next is the Bone Master! Also, I need to put in some effort for Little Goldfish and Hanhan to quickly boost their strength."
How to put it, Li Wu wasn't someone who felt particularly secure, and this incident only made him feel even more inadequate.
Li Wu felt an even greater sense of inadequacy and the need to quickly enhance his own strength.
However, Li Wu didn't have much time to dedicate to strengthening his little brothers.
Just as Li Wu finished dealing with Little Skull's ten little brothers, Zhao Kai Ming came looking for him, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
"Uncle Zhao, what's wrong?" Li Wu asked, unconcerned. But Zhao Kai Ming replied, "I have something here that I need you to look at."
As he spoke, Zhao Kai Ming grabbed Li Wu's hand and pulled him into the Cultivation Room.
After entering the room, Zhao Kai Ming released Li Wu's hand and carefully confirmed the presence of the Cultivation Master, ensuring no one had tampered with the room. Only then did he speak to Li Wu, "Little Li Wu, listen to me. I just received news that both the death of the Hellhound Pup and the amnesia of that girl were orchestrated by Governor Jiang's subordinates, under his orders."
"What? Is this true?" Li Wu's face showed his shock.
"It's true, beyond a doubt. And I've also found out about the girl's identity.
Her name is Wu Mei, daughter of Wu Yong and Li Jing. Her family is friends with Lin Jianying's parents. Over half a month ago, when Lin Jianying entered the Demon Grotto Mystic Realm, he met them."
After delivering this news, Zhao Kai Ming added meaningfully, "I just asked a friend in the Demon Grotto Mystic Realm to check, and they found this information easily."
"How is that possible? If it's so simple to find, why couldn't my stepmother find it?" Li Wu asked, incredulous.
"I'm not sure about that, but the girl's identity is real. I also have surveillance footage from the Demon Grotto Camp."
As he spoke, Zhao Kai Ming took out his phone and played a video.
In the video, Li Wu saw Lin Jianying and the Wu family of three enjoying a happy meal together in the Demon Grotto Camp.
"How could this be?"
Perhaps feeling that the shock wasn't enough, Zhao Kai Ming continued, "Also, I've found out that the one chasing this girl is none other than someone under Governor Jiang's command."
As he spoke, Zhao Kai Ming presented the related evidence.
Piece by piece, the evidence was conclusive.
Indicating that all of this was done by Jiang Yuexing.
