Just like this for one second, two seconds... until a minute later, Li Wu remained motionless in his still posture, as if his whole body was down.
Wu Laogou first glanced at the little fairy sitting next to him, and then turned his attention to Chen Ziyan. Although he did not speak, the questioning meaning in his eyes was undisguised.
Chen Ziyan chuckled and shook his head at Wu Laogou, then looked at the motionless Li Wu and said:
"Manager Li, are you interested in chatting?"
As the owner of Little Fairy Girl, he knows Li Wu's state better than anyone else. This guy must have woken up. The reason why he hasn't made any moves is probably because he is plotting something.
For example... with the idea of fishing in troubled waters, when Chen Ziyan and others couldn't wait to take a closer look, they took hostages to improve their situation.
If Chen Ziyan were to change places and face this situation, he would probably have similar thoughts.
No more than four or five seconds after Chen Ziyan finished speaking, Li Wu slowly opened his eyes. While looking around, he did not forget to ask Chen Ziyan:
"I wonder if Mr. Chen wants to follow me?" What are you talking about as a prisoner? You two can ask, but I promise you will tell me everything."
The certainty in Chen Ziyan's words made Li Wu understand that the other party had seen through his little thoughts, so he naturally stopped pretending. necessary.
From Chen Ziyan's words, it is not difficult to tell that he still has the value of existence, and there is no need to worry about his life for the time being.
The reason why he uses the word "know everything" is to express his attitude.
"It seems that Mr. Li is very clear about his situation. It's very good. I believe this will be a good start for our communication." Chen Ziyan laughed.
He likes people like Li Wu who are aware of current affairs. He only needs to understand his own position. He is afraid of encountering the kind of stubborn person who cannot get into the oil and salt. That is the existence that gives people a headache.
Li Wu was silent when he heard this. He knew that Chen Ziyan was trying to beat him further, but he had no intention of agreeing.
Nowadays, people are like Daozu and I are like fish and meat. He expressed his attitude to make his situation better, but it does not mean that he will flatter without a bottom line. That is not a good thing for him.
No one likes prisoners with strong bones, but no one cares about prisoners with soft bones. As a superior, Li Wu knows this better than anyone else.
Li Wu is undoubtedly a smart person, and smart people know best what they should do.
So he did not think about why he was behind bars in the first place, but expressed his attitude of 'cooperating'.
Chen Ziyan took a deep look at Li Wu and asked, "Mr. Li, don't you want to ask why it is like this?"
Rao knew that Li Wu was not simple before, but now his reaction still made Chen Ziyan look ahead to him.
So after seeing Li Wu not answering, he decisively chose this topic, wanting to see how Li Wu would react.
"Why don't you want to?" Li Wu smiled bitterly, but then said: "But I want to live even more, Mr. Chen, Mr. Wu, I don't know what you two want to ask? Or maybe there is something What do you want me to do? "
Although he has just woken up, Li Wu has already obtained a lot of information based on the surrounding environment. The most obvious point is that everyone in their entire fortress has been taken over. .
Looking at the status of those staff, you can tell that he must have been one of them before. The reason why he is able to regain his consciousness now must be that he has special value.
Compared with the so-called causes and consequences, Li Wu now wants to know his 'value' more, so that only in this way can he plan the next step.
"It's very simple. We want to cooperate with you and the forces behind you." Chen Ziyan said his purpose directly without being mysterious.
He has no interest in going around the bush with Li Wu. Firstly, there is no need. Secondly, Li Wu seems important, but he is not indispensable.
In the process of reaching cooperation with the Wang family, it is naturally good to have Li Wu as a bridge, but even if there is no such middleman, it is not that there are no other ways, it is just that the process will be more twists and turns.
Although he has little negotiation experience, but has never seen a pig running or eaten pork, Chen Ziyan knows very well that attitude is the basis of the decision-making process during negotiations.
Now he undoubtedly has the absolute initiative, so he must have supporting strength.
"Cooperation?" A strange color flashed deep in Li Wu's eyes, but his face remained calm: "Master Chen, can you explain something? I really can't imagine what capital I have now. Cooperating with you two? And the forces behind me... If you two want to cooperate, you don’t have to go through me, right?"
Li Wu’s first reaction when he heard this was that his hidden secrets were exposed. .
But after thinking about it, he felt that it shouldn't be possible, so he focused on himself.
But after much thought, he didn't find anything worthy of cooperation.
What he owns should be nothing to Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou.
As the inheritor of the millennium Xiling, Chen Ziyan probably has countless good things in his hands. Although Wu Laogou is slightly inferior, he has been in the antiquities circle for decades and is still the producer of the goods. Even if Even though his family background is not huge, he is far stronger than him.
As for his position, he is tied here now, so it’s okay not to mention it.
"To be more precise, we want to cooperate with the force behind you." Chen Ziyan could tell at a glance that Li Wu was pretending to be crazy. He had no interest in testing it, so he directly revealed his true purpose.
"The forces behind me?!" Li Wu's pupils shrank sharply, and he felt a storm in his heart, but he still felt a little lucky, and said forcefully: "The two masters should be more familiar with the forces behind me than I am. Well, this cooperation thing still needs a marginalized person like me?”
It's not that he doesn't understand current affairs, but it's just that he really can't admit it.
There is indeed a secret force behind him, but that is his biggest secret. If the administration finds out about it, he might as well die in the hands of two people.
The reason why Li Wu did not talk about his identity was because he knew that both Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou had a lot of connections with the administration, so it was too unsafe for them to know this secret. .
Chen Ziyan couldn't help but feel moved when he saw Li Wu's behavior. He felt that he might have misjudged the Wang family's image in the Management Bureau.
For Li Wu to be so secretive, I'm afraid the Wang family has done something extraordinary.
Originally, he thought that the Management Bureau didn't care much about the Wang family, and even speculated that the Wang family had infiltrated into the top management. After all, this family had been dealing with weird things underground for hundreds of years, and they were also experts in this field. However, Now looking at Li Wu's refusal to admit it, he suddenly realized that things might not be what he thought.
"I think you know very well which force I'm talking about. You don't have to worry that I'm just fishing. I won't bother with that. Since I told you that I want to cooperate, I won't use it as a pretext. You." Chen Ziyan did not argue with Li Wu on this topic, but said to himself.
The meaning of his words is very clear, that is, I know and am sure that there is someone behind you, whether you admit it or not.
Li Wu did not say anything. He still suspected that Chen Ziyan was deceiving him. If Chen Ziyan could not produce more convincing evidence, then he would rather not take a stand. He understands that talking too much can lead to mistakes. Before he can figure out whether what Chen Ziyan said is true or false, he is more willing to respond with silence.
After all, this is no joke. If he was really deceived, he would have to give a full account.
Seeing his posture, Chen Ziyan also understood that Li Wu would not shed tears without seeing the coffin, so he said:
"Manager Li, I think there is a place under the woods a hundred meters to the left of the camp. Is there something you don’t know about?”
Since Li Wu wants evidence, he will give it to him.
Chen Ziyan knew that if he didn't come up with some real materials, Li Wu would probably always have this uncooperative attitude.
Hearing Chen Ziyan talk about the woods outside the camp, the last trace of luck in Li Wu's heart finally disappeared.
He knew that since Chen Ziyan knew that place, it didn't matter whether he could lie like this. If he really wanted to do something to him, just knowing that place would be enough.
This means that the cooperation mentioned by Chen Ziyan is true.
Of course, it may be that he wants to catch a big fish, but that is not what Li Wu should consider.
But the next moment, Li Wu seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly: "Master Chen, you didn't do anything there, did you?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Chen Ziyan was a little confused.
He guessed that Li Wu meant that he did not dig at the joint point, but what made him puzzled was why Li Wu would attach so much importance to this point.
This is somewhat unreasonable!
"That's not true. I just used the information I got from you and checked there for a while." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said.
He did not conceal the source of the information, because Li Wu could guess some of it from the status of the other staff members, so it didn't matter whether he concealed it or not.
"That's good." Li Wu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then took the initiative to explain: "The mechanism there is very complicated, and there are other arrangements deeper. If I accidentally alert the other party, my line will be cut off directly. ”
This is why he suddenly paid attention to this. Li Wu has now more or less understood that Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou want to use him to build a ladder, so even for himself, they cannot let him The line was suddenly disconnected.
Chen Ziyan nodded slightly. Li Wu's words were undoubtedly a disguised admission of his previous words.
Chen Ziyan thought about what he found in the camp, and asked: "What about the secret room in the camp?"
This was also a test of his, wanting to see what Li Wu knew. How many.
"The one in the camp is not in the way. It's more of an insurance measure. As long as you don't try it randomly in the woods, there won't be any problems in a short time." Li Wu replied happily.
"It seems like you knew about the secret room in the camp from the beginning?" Chen Ziyan asked curiously.
He really didn't expect that Li Wuzhen knew the existence of the secret room of the agency, which was somewhat different from his previous guess.
If Li Wuyi knew this from the beginning, it means that there may not be a dark room in the camp.
"Master Chen, do you think that the secret room was built without telling me?" Li Wu couldn't help but relax a little when he saw that Chen Ziyan showed no sign of falling out.
At the same time, his nerves, which had been tense since he woke up, also relaxed a little.
It seemed that Chen Ziyan was really not fishing for him, so he felt at ease.
While waiting for the answer, Li Wu couldn't help but cast his eyes on the little fairy girl squatting not far away.
Although he had already guessed, after getting confirmation from Chen Ziyan himself, he already knew that the culprit for leaking the secret was this beautiful-looking spirit ferret.
Although Li Wu's status in the administration is worrying and he is a typical marginalized person, he is still the branch manager anyway, so he knows everything he needs to know.
It can be seen from the appearance of the little fairy that this is a very rare spirit ferret.
This made him couldn't help but raise Chen Ziyan's danger level and value by several levels in his heart.
As the director of the Management Bureau, Li Wu is very clear that there are people who can control strange beasts nowadays, but they are some special species, just like the dog kings of Wu Laogou, who themselves have long been A species that has been completely domesticated by humans is a prerequisite for success.
But the spirit weasel is extremely rare, and even does not exist at all in recent years. You must know that the fox and weasel are the most cunning and difficult for ordinary people to tame.
Even if some people are lucky enough to succeed, they will turn their backs on others once they become Taoist. This can be seen from the 'immortal families' in the three eastern provinces.
But the spirit ferret next to Chen Ziyan, no matter how he looked at it, had been completely surrendered by him. This was something that any knowledgeable person would admire.
"Yes, I do think so." Chen Ziyan nodded.
Li Wu's attitude has already sent a signal of willingness to cooperate, so he doesn't mind saying more.
"Actually, it was prepared for me. It is a place for me to record backup." Li Wu gave an answer that Chen Ziyan expected, but was actually unreasonable.
But after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was really possible. If that place was to guard against Li Wu, then how could he, the client, know so clearly.
This is like installing a bug secretly, and then telling the owner the truth later. What a smart operation!
Not to mention that the Wang family can’t do it, but normal people won’t do it.
At this moment, Wu Laogou, who had been listening, suddenly asked: "You just said you would alarm the other party. What do you mean?"
Wu Laogou had been listening. Paying attention to Li Wu's every word, for fear of missing any important information, the key points in these words are naturally the same.
So he waited until there was a gap between the two of them talking and immediately raised his doubts.
According to what Chen Ziyan said before, the underground organs of the camp are connected inside and outside, but judging from Li Wu's performance, this does not seem to be the case.
“The way I communicate with the people behind the scenes is different every time. If there is an error in the information transmitted, it means there is a problem on my side, and they will not check it, but will evacuate directly. At this point, Li Wu glanced at Chen Ziyan and said with a bit of joy: "I haven't gotten the latest contact key yet."
Hearing this, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but twitch. Fortunately, he didn't act rashly, otherwise he might have alerted the enemy. (End of this chapter)
