Tomb Raider: Nine Gates Let Me Be the Group’s Pet

Chen Pi was unarmed and was quickly defeated by the gun and was taken away in handcuffs.

"Do you know why we arrested you?" Inside the prison, Adjutant Zhang was questioning Chen Pi.

"Zhang Qishan in Changsha City can arrest anyone he wants. Does he need a reason?" Chen Pi was getting angry when he thought about how he was thrown into jail for no apparent reason. He then thought about Zhang Zixi whom he had just met.

I thought to myself, 'Is she trying to lure me into this trap?' The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became.

"Chenpi, the foreign doctor you found for your wife has no way to cure your wife's illness. She just injected her with morphine, and morphine can only relieve pain." Adjutant Zhang looked at Chenpi's impatient look and was afraid that he would not be able to get anything out of him, so he could only explain patiently.

"What did you say? Did they lie to me..." When Chen Pi heard what Adjutant Zhang said, he instantly knew that he had been deceived by Jude Kao and the others.

"Damn it..." Chen Pi clenched his fists secretly.

"Master Buddha and his men have already gone to the Crescent Hotel in Peking to find deer grass to treat Madam's illness. As long as we have deer grass, Madam's condition will be improved." Adjutant Zhang saw that he was really worried about the Second Master's wife, so he didn't say anything more.

"Really?" Chen Pi's mood improved a lot when he heard that his master's wife's illness was improving.

"Well, so can you tell me where you found that foreign doctor?" Adjutant Zhang asked Chenpi when he saw the right time.

Adjutant Zhang learned from Chen Pi that the foreign doctor was called Qiu Dekao, so he sent someone to investigate, but it turned out that this man was in the Chamber of Commerce.

"It seems that this matter... needs to be considered carefully..." Seeing that it was getting late, Adjutant Zhang decided to go back to the mansion to rest today and then go to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow.

————————————————————

As soon as he reached the gate of Zhang's mansion, Adjutant Zhang heard melodious piano sounds coming from inside the mansion.

Zhang Zixi loves music and playing the piano. The day Zhang Dafoye learned that she had this hobby, he ordered someone to buy a piano and put it in her room.

Adjutant Zhang stood in the hall and couldn't help thinking of everything he had seen in secret today from the sound of the piano. He wondered with some jealousy why Zhang Zhixi and Chenpi seemed so familiar with each other...

After Zhang Zixi finished playing the song, she heard the servants upstairs say that Adjutant Zhang had returned, so she hurried downstairs to ask him about the situation of his investigation today.

The adjutant told Zhang Zixi everything he knew, but the only thing he didn't tell her was that he had captured Chen Pi for interrogation.

He didn't understand the relationship between them and was afraid that telling her would make her unhappy.

"So what are you going to do next?" Zhang Zixi frowned when she heard what the adjutant said, feeling that things didn't seem simple.

"Tomorrow, I plan to take people to the Chamber of Commerce to take a look." Adjutant Zhang replied.

"I'll go with you!" Zhang Zixi said immediately.

Seeing that Adjutant Zhang was about to politely refuse her by saying something like it might be dangerous, Zhang Zixi stretched out her hand and interrupted him seriously.

"I know what you are going to say. It's because of the danger that I want to go with you!" Zhang Zixi looked at Adjutant Zhang with a firm face.

"Okay..." Seeing that Zhang Yuxuan was so determined, Adjutant Zhang could not refuse and had to agree to her.

Seeing that she agreed, Zhang Zixi said contentedly, "See you tomorrow!" and ran back to her room in small steps.

"What is the relationship between the young lady and Chenpi..." Adjutant Zhang couldn't help but think of this question after returning to his room.

Adjutant Zhang turned on the light, changed out of his military uniform and sat at the table by the window, thinking. All that came to his mind was the scene he saw today of Zhang Zixi and Chen Pi talking and laughing.

As he was thinking, he unconsciously opened the drawer in front of his seat and took out a bracelet made of thin branches from a small box.

The bracelet is wrapped with petals and covered with a layer of resin. It is obvious that the flowers inside were wrapped in the resin when they were in full bloom.

So, even after many years, the color of the flowers is still beautiful.

This bracelet belongs to Zhang Zixi.

Perhaps it was the lingering light or something else he was thinking about, but Adjutant Zhang just stared at the bracelet in front of him and lost himself in memories.
