576. I have never betrayed the City Lord

Lin Wu looked at the other party, not confirming or denying, merely stepping forward.

Ren Ke had no choice but to follow with heightened alertness.

As they approached, Lin Wu stopped two meters away. They didn't attempt to conceal their footsteps, so the other party must have been aware of their arrival.

"Senior, this is our first meeting," Lin Wu said to the man. "Honestly, before I had someone look for you, I didn't even know your exact identity."

The man facing away from them was tall and thin, likely a young man.

Ren Ke: "???"

Their first meeting? Unacquainted? You must be joking?!

Ren Ke shot Lin Wu a questioning look, wondering why she would cooperate with such an unpredictable person.

Lin Wu shook her head slightly, signaling her not to make any movements.

At that moment, the man spoke in a very calm tone, "But this isn't the first time I've heard of you."

Ren Ke was taken aback.

Lin Wu was also momentarily startled.
