570. Zheng Lian has always been in Assassin City

"...It's Zheng Lian?!"

Upon hearing Lin Wu say that, Ling Xiu immediately reacted.

She exclaimed in shock, "When you left, I was the last person in Assassin City who saw you. You looked at me before you left... in such a disheveled state, you left someone to help me, telling me to be at ease!"

Lin Wu said, "That's right. At that time, I thought since Sister Ling Xiu had connected with the City Lord, I also wanted him to take the chance to get close to the City Lord."

Ling Xiu said, "But Zheng Lian died on a mission two years ago!"

Lin Wu, however, shook her head and spoke unhurriedly, "He didn't die; he just finished what he had to do by your side and then left to do something else. Now, he's still in Assassin City."

Ling Xiu truly hadn't expected that, she said, "You mean to say, the one who's been pushing Assassin City to bring you back, without them realizing it, is him?"
