Lin Wu's expression remained cold and unchanged.
"First, where would I know the secret to Assassin City's control? When I left, it was in such a hurry, who had the chance to tell me?"
"Second, I didn't have much contact with the City Lord after I returned before you interrupted us. Afterwards, I was under house arrest far away from the City Lord's residence, with people watching over me, and you had sent Ren Ke there. So, how do you think I could have met with the City Lord?"
"How you guessed is none of my concern, but don't project your speculations onto me."
The man's gaze deepened upon hearing this, silently observing Lin Wu.
Lin Wu didn't care, uninterested in continuing the back-and-forth, she said bluntly, "Ren Ke told me that you still want to collaborate with me on something. Speak then, what do you want me to do and what interests are you planning to use to persuade me to agree?"
Her gaze returned to the man as usual, locking eyes with him.
