Tomb Raider: Nine Gates Let Me Be the Group’s Pet
Chapter 40 Who?
Adjutant Zhang and his men searched for a whole day but could not find Chenpi's whereabouts.
Since returning to the Zhang residence, Zhang Zixi has been sitting alone in the room in a daze.
She didn't understand why Chen Pi did this, where was he now, and what should she do right now?
I racked my brains for a long time, and I couldn't even eat much.
As she was thinking, she felt tired and fell asleep in a daze by lying on the bed.
"Who?!"
Even though she was asleep, her sensitivity acquired through years of training told her that someone had entered her room.
There was no response in the air, and just as she was about to turn on the light, someone grabbed her hand.
Although her vision was unclear, she could feel the man's presence beside her. Zhang Zixi immediately raised her foot to kick, but the man dodged it. She then clenched her fist and punched the man in the vital points, and then she fought with the man back and forth.
The strange thing was that the man didn't seem to want to hurt her and just kept dodging her attacks.
"It's me..." As if afraid that the noise of their continued fighting would alert the people in Zhang's mansion, the other party finally spoke in a low voice.
"Chenpi?" Zhang Zhixi recognized Chenpi's voice.
"Don't turn on the light... I don't want others to know I'm here." Chen Pi walked from the darkness to the window so that Zhang Zixi could confirm that it was him in the faint moonlight outside.
Zhang Zhixi saw the blood all over Chenpi's body and asked softly, "Are you injured?"
"No, it's the blood of those people." Zhang Zixi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Chenpi say this.
"Why did you kill the Fourth Master?"
"No reason." Chenpi snorted.
"I have always disliked that grandson. He often spread rumors about my master and his mistress. That day, his people went to the dock and ruined my good deeds. I was so angry that I found an opportunity to kill him the next day." Chen Pi told Zhang Zixi the reason for the incident, but he did not tell her that it was Lu Jianxun who gave him the idea and asked someone to create conditions for him so that he could succeed smoothly.
Although Chen Pi didn't know why Lu Jianxun wanted to help him, he could vaguely feel that Lu Jianxun wanted to use his entry into the Nine Gates as a prerequisite to have an extra bargaining chip to confront Zhang Qishan.
Zhang Zixi is Zhang Qishan's sister, so he naturally wouldn't tell this matter out loud.
"Do you know how big an impact this will have?" Zhang Zixi frowned when she saw his indifferent look.
"So what? In my eyes, he has no right to be in the Nine Gates, let alone be the Fourth Master." Chen Pi replied to Zhang Zixi disapprovingly.
"So...what are you going to do now?"
"I will leave tomorrow, and I'll go wherever fate allows. As for what happens next, since I killed Shui Huang, according to the rules of the Nine Gates, I can take his place, and I'll come back when the situation stabilizes." Chen Pi seemed to have planned everything long ago.
"My brother has issued an order for the entire Changsha city to arrest you. How are you going to leave?"
"I'll leave when it's a little light. I'm not as weak as you think. They just have a gun."
"Then what are you doing here now? Don't you know that everyone in the Zhang Mansion is a personal soldier?" Zhang Zixi was very confused about why he was here.
"The most dangerous place is often the safest. Now they are patrolling all over Changsha City. No matter how I hide, there is a risk of being discovered. But they won't patrol into your room, young lady, so I'll come to your place to rest."
"This is for you! If you want to eat strawberries in the future, come pick them from me." Chenpi threw a bag of things to Zhang Zixi.
Zhang Zixi took it and opened it, only to find that it contained a large bag of fresh strawberries.
That was something Chenpi ordered people to plant on his territory.
There was a time when Zhang Zixi went to see him and suddenly wanted to eat strawberries. But it was already late at night and Chenpi had people search for a long time but couldn't find any. After that, he planted strawberries in his yard.
After Chenpi finished speaking, he lay down on the carpet with his hands under his head, closed his eyes and took a nap.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Zixi realized that he didn't want to talk about anything else, and she really didn't know what to say, so she threw a blanket at him and continued to lie down to rest.
But she didn't dare sleep too deeply, always wondering whether the noise just now had alarmed anyone in the house.
