Long River Eternity

Wei Wu looked at Liu Xianxian with a puzzled look on his face, his heart full of confusion, not understanding why she suddenly praised him. But he still said proudly: "I am smart!"

Lin Ding smiled slightly, his tone relaxed: "Yes, you are indeed smart, then you must have known how to use the clues found by Miss Zhan."

Lin Ding and Liu Xianxian also noticed Wei Wu's attentive behavior towards Zhan Wushuang, and decided to let him show himself more in front of Zhan Wushuang.

Wei Wu scratched his head and secretly glanced at Zhan Wushuang who was sitting upright, and happened to catch her slightly expectant gaze.

If he said he didn't know, it would be really embarrassing. So, he gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Of course I know! They are all from outside the city, this... this is not difficult, outsiders... they must not have lived here before."

As the words continued to flow, Wei Wu's voice gradually faded. Suddenly, an idea seemed to strike him, and he excitedly shouted, "Yes, since they didn't live here before, let's start by investigating where they used to live!"

After saying this, Wei Wu looked at Lin Ding expectantly, a hint of help in his eyes, hoping that he hadn't said anything stupid. Only when he saw Lin Ding's reassuring smile did he breathe a sigh of relief, realizing that he hadn't been wrong.

At this time, Zhan Wushuang heard Wei Wu's words and immediately began to look up the detailed information of all the victims, comparing them one by one with the cities they had lived in.

Sure enough, she said excitedly, "I really found something! Although many of them have moved to more than one district for work, all of them have lived in a place called Donglin City in Dongzhou for a period of time."

"Donglin City? I don't seem to have heard of it. Does Miss Zhan know anything about this city?" Lin Ding thought for a moment and asked.

Zhan Wushuang shook his head, looking a little helpless: "I don't have any impression, I have to go back and check the information. Then I'll go back first."

After saying that, Zhan Wushuang stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and walked towards the door.

"Wei Wu, why don't you hurry up and see Miss Zhan off." Seeing Wei Wu standing there in a daze, Lin Ding quickly reminded him.

Wei Wu finally reacted and hurriedly chased after him, accompanying Zhan Wushuang to the car.

"I'm glad to help you. If I find any information about Donglin City, I will call you and tell you. Goodbye." Zhan Wushuang smiled slightly, then opened the car door and waved goodbye to Wei Wu before getting in.

Lin Ding and Liu Xianxian continued to study the attack materials in the house, trying to find more similarities between the victims. Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching. They looked up and saw Wei Wu walking back with a silly smile on his face.

Lin Ding and Liu Xianxian exchanged a look of confusion. Liu Xianxian said with disdain, "Wei Wu, are you possessed? Your smile is so perverted."

Lin Ding also teased: "Can you pay attention to your image?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Wu put away his smile and retorted, "What do you know! Zhan Wushuang was so serious before, but he actually smiled at me just now. He must have a crush on me!"

"Looking at your little achievement, how about I talk to Minister Zhan and recruit Zhan Wushuang into the stability team? I think she has good investigative and reasoning skills. We haven't found any clues yet, but she found them first. Maybe she can help us in the future." Lin Ding suggested with a smile.

"Really?" Wei Wu asked excitedly, but quickly suppressed his excitement and retorted, "Forget it. Our usual missions are so dangerous, so let's not drag others into this."

At this time, Chu Tianxiao just came back from outside. He heard their conversation and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you talking like a human being? When you were trying to win me over, why didn't you think about the danger? You have the opposite sex but no humanity, right?"

Wei Wu glanced at Chu Tianxiao and defended himself, "It's not me who pulled you. Lin Ding has always been a man with no humanity."

Lin Ding smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I originally wanted to let Zhan Wushuang come over to be a logistics consultant. Since you are reluctant, forget it."

Hearing Lin Ding's words, Wei Wu's eyes lit up and he changed the subject: "Yes, logistics is fine! If we don't need to go to the battlefield, there's no danger. Just help us with strategies behind the scenes. Who said you are inhumane? You understand human nature very well."

"Damn you, why doesn't everything you say sound good?" Lin Ding scolded with a smile.

"Oh, don't worry about the details. It's enough for you to know that it's good news. When are you going to mention it to Minister of War?" Wei Wu asked with a flattering look on his face.

"What are you talking about? I can't seem to remember clearly." Lin Ding pretended to try to recall. "When I'm hungry, my memory becomes so bad. Really."

"Okay, today I'll show you my cooking skills." Wei Wu said and walked towards the kitchen.

Lin Ding and the other two looked at Wei Wu who was busy in the kitchen and smiled at each other.

Soon, a sumptuous meal was placed before everyone. Wei Wu called out to Feng Hao, who was reading a book nearby, "Little brat, it's time to eat!"

Feng Hao ran over excitedly. Seeing the table full of delicious food, his eyes lit up instantly. He asked in surprise, "Wow! Big guy, I didn't expect you can cook?"

"That's right. I started cooking for myself when I was your age." Wei Wu said proudly.

Wei Wu was not bragging about this. He had been dependent on his grandmother since he was a child. When he was a child, his grandmother was still working. When he came home from school, his grandmother had already gone out to work, so he had to cook for himself. Over time, he naturally learned how to cook.

"Why didn't you tell us before, so we have to eat fast food and takeout every day?" Liu Xianxian said dissatisfiedly.

"You didn't ask, and I was so busy every day before, how could I have the time and energy to cook!" Wei Wu defended himself righteously.

Liu Xianxian thought for a moment and agreed with Wei Wu's words. Then, they sat around the table and began to enjoy the delicious food in front of them.

Soon, the delicacies on the table were swept away like a whirlwind by their attack, and everyone leaned back in their chairs with satisfaction, with happy smiles on their faces.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang, shattering the joyful atmosphere. Wei Wu was the first to leap from his chair and quickly walk over to the phone, his expression instantly becoming serious and focused. He listened intently to the voice on the other end of the line, then after a moment, softly replied, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, bye."

After saying this, he quickly returned to his side and said solemnly, "Regarding the news about Donglin City, Zhan Wushuang just called and has already found out the situation. It's just an ordinary coastal town in the eastern district. Five years ago, half of the city was destroyed by a monster invasion, and the only publishing house in the city was razed to the ground. This caused a large number of residents to relocate to other districts."

After hearing this, Lin Ding frowned and murmured softly, "'Publishing House, Dongzhou, Monster Invasion'... I seem to have heard these words somewhere before."

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said anxiously, "I remember now. That publishing house, isn't it the place where that mystery novel was published?"
