Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

Cheng Ji went to Zhang Qishan's house in the middle of the night and climbed out through the back door. When he came back, he naturally returned the same way.

He is tall and thin, but his muscles are clearly defined, making him look particularly strong and powerful.

Cheng Ji pushed his feet hard and jumped onto the top of the wall like a nimble kitten.

However, he didn't expect that as soon as he landed steadily, he was grabbed by Cheng's father.

"Little one, where have you been so late?"

Cheng Ji touched his nose with a guilty conscience and said, "Father, I'm just going out to meet a friend..."

Father Cheng said seriously, "Come with me to the study."

Seeing that Cheng's father had a serious expression, Cheng Ji had no choice but to follow Cheng's father to the study.

After entering the door, Cheng's father turned around and closed it tightly.

Cheng Ji walked into the room and casually turned on the lamp next to him. Soft light spread out, and the gently swaying light broke the silence of the night.

The wooden floor looked simple and elegant under the light. Cheng's father looked at Cheng Ji for a long time, as if he wanted to regain all the father-son relationship he had missed over the past few years.

After a long silence, Cheng's father asked.

"Little one, do you know why I sent you to your grandmother's house when you were three years old?"

"I don't know." Cheng Ji was puzzled.

Cheng Ji's memories of his childhood were implanted directly into his brain by the system. He only knew that his parents had left him at his grandmother's house since he was a child. Although they would visit him in the Northeast several times a year, they never let him go back to Changsha with them.

Father Cheng sat in his seat and considered his words for a moment before speaking: "When you were born, your mother and I asked the Qi family to tell your fortune. The head of the Qi family did the interpretation."

"It is said that you will have a great disaster this year, and the only way to overcome it is to not get involved in the Nine Gates. So your parents can only send you far away to your grandmother's home in the Northeast."

"Who would have thought that plans could not keep up with changes? This year, something happened to your grandmother's family, and the Northeast was plunged into war. Father had no choice but to bring you back. Unexpectedly, something went wrong along the way and we encountered robbers. None of the people who went to pick you up came back alive."

"Fortunately, my youngest son escaped unharmed and returned safely."

Cheng Ji lowered his eyebrows, making it difficult to understand his expression.

An unarmed 18-year-old young master encountered robbers. Except for himself, all the other escorting masters died. He was the only one who survived. How could he be so lucky?

It’s just that the shell is still the same shell, but the core has been changed.

The original owner was really lucky. He had parents who had been planning for him since he was born, and a grandmother who spoiled him like crazy.

Since he came back to life by borrowing his body and taking someone else's place, it is only right for him to be filial to his elders on behalf of the original owner.

Not to mention that this father's face was exactly the same as his father in his previous life.

Cheng Ji sat down next to Cheng's father and said obediently: "I understand what father means. I won't be too involved with the Nine Gates. I promise you that when this matter is over, I will stay away from the Nine Gates!"

Father Cheng's tone was a little anxious: "What on earth is it that makes you have to step into this fire pit?"

Cheng Ji was speechless for a moment.

I can't tell you that your eldest son may also have a role to play in this matter.

Cheng Ji didn't know how to answer for a moment, and finally spoke after a long while: "Father, since you know what I have been doing these days, and you also know that I am involved with the Nine Gates, you should have heard about my abilities."

"I met a hermit master by chance a few years ago. He taught me many extraordinary skills. Believe me, nothing will happen to you."

Mr. Cheng did not comment.

Cheng Ji then coaxed his father: "Dad, this is not a joke. It concerns the entire city of Changsha. My grandmother taught me since I was a child that the big family comes first, and then our small family. Now it concerns the people of Changsha, I can't sit idly by."

Father Cheng sighed and said, "Remember what you promised me. Once this matter is over, you will not get involved in the affairs of the Nine Gates anymore."

"it is good."

The next morning, in the guest hall of Zhang's residence——

Cheng Ji looked with a frown on his face at the personal soldiers that Zhang Qishan had carefully selected to be taken to the mine.

Originally, there were several groups of people eyeing the trip to the mine covetously, and now he had to bring a team of people with him, which made him a moving target.

"No, what does Master Zhang want to do with so many people?"

Without waiting for Zhang Qishan to answer, he continued to ask: "Master Buddha, where is the person you promised me?"

Zhang Qishan pointed to the two people standing at the front of the team and said to Cheng Ji, "They are the two youngest children of the Zhang family who followed me, Zhang Junhui and Zhang Muhui."

Cheng Ji glanced at the two boys in front of him who looked one or two years younger than him and nodded.

"Then just take the two of them with you. Master Buddha, tell the others to do what they should do. Make sure those rats behind the scenes don't notice it."

Zhang Qishan waved his hand, and the others went out, leaving behind the two Zhang Junhui brothers.

Cheng Ji pulled the Zhang child's arm and looked him up and down: "Go change into plain clothes first. Take off this outfit. This military police uniform is too eye-catching."

The two brothers nodded and walked out.

Er Yuehong, who was standing nearby, watched the whole process. He was not quite sure what kind of deal Cheng Ji and Zhang Qishan had made in private, but he was not curious either.

In his opinion, Cheng Ji's intelligence and scheming are not what an ordinary eighteen-year-old child can possess, and he must have his own plans for what he did.

The gathered people followed Cheng Ji to the mine.

With Cheng Ji as a human plug-in, the journey was naturally much smoother for the group than in the original book. They didn't take any detours and went straight to the mine.

They rode at full speed to the foot of the mine. Zhang Qishan frowned as he looked at the road blocked by rubble. He turned his head to signal Cheng Ji, his eyes full of questions.

Cheng Ji pointed to the rubble and said, "That's where the 076 train came out. They blew up the entrance to prevent anything from coming out from behind. But there are other places to come in. Follow me."

Qi Tiezui swallowed his saliva and said, "I just read the fortune, it's very bad!"

Cheng Ji tilted his head and smiled what he thought was the most gentle smile: "Don't worry, Master Ba, nothing will happen."

Qi Tiezui looked at the seemingly harmless boy in front of him, and then recalled the same smile he had on his face when he sat in front of the blood corpse, and couldn't help but shudder.

Is it because times have changed? Why are today's young adults so scary?

Cheng Ji was walking in front leading the way, so he naturally missed the ever-changing expressions on Qi Tiezui's face.

A few people followed Cheng Ji and walked around in the bushes for a long time before arriving in front of a cemetery.

Without Cheng Ji's reminder, the people in this line of work immediately spotted the tombstone with the secret passage among the many tombstones.

Zhang Rishan stepped forward and pushed open the tombstone in front of the grave, and an entrance appeared in front of everyone.

Cheng Ji walked forward and was about to jump down when someone stopped him.

Er Yuehong pulled Cheng Ji's arm and led him back, saying seriously, "I know you are very capable and have some tricks we have never heard of, but in this underground, we have more experience than you."

"Besides, we are not so crazy as to let a child lead the way."

As he said this, he took out the dagger he carried with him and walked into the secret passage.

Cheng Ji looked at Er Yuehong's back as she insisted on protecting him behind her, and many incomprehensible thoughts surged in his eyes.
