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

After a period of peace and tranquility, the situation in Changsha began to become unstable.

Zhang Qishan knew that Lu Jianxun had not accomplished anything at all, and for the sake of Changsha City, he had to take back all power.

He thought of the meteorite copper brought back from the mine, and he also knew that Lu Jianxun had always wanted to know what was hidden in the mine.

Zhang Qishan went to see Master Jie Jiu to discuss countermeasures. Master Jie Jiu suggested that he spread the news of the meteorite copper and give it to Lu Jianxun as a condition. If Lu Jianxun could get it, he could take it, but if he couldn't, it wasn't his fault.

Zhang Qishan felt that what Jie Jiuye said made sense, so he used the meteorite copper as a condition to tempt Lu Jianxun in exchange for all the power.

As soon as the news of the meteorite copper came out, the Zhang family naturally knew about it.

On this day, Zhang Zixi was taking Xiaoqing for a walk on the street when she saw an elder who looked familiar to her from the Zhang family's home.

"Uncle Zhong? Why are you here?" Zhang Zixi was surprised and happy to see the elder of the family.

————I am the dividing line————

"Come with me." The person who spoke was a member of the Zhang family, named Zhang Zhonglong.

Zhang Zhonglong led Zhang Zhixi to a clinic and closed the door.

"This clinic?" Zhang Zixi asked Xiaoqing to go back home first, and she followed Zhang Zhonglong.

"Don't worry, this clinic is full of our own people, and it's also a place where we usually talk and rest." Zhang Zhonglong explained to her.

"The tribe has heard about the meteorite copper. We found out that the meteorite copper is in the hands of Changsha intelligence officer Lu Jianxun. This meteorite copper is related to the secrets of the tribe and must not be obtained by outsiders." Zhang Zhonglong chatted with her for a few more sentences and then got down to business.

"So... we have to get it back, then... is there anything you need me to do?" Zhang Zixi listened to what Zhang Zhonglong said and pondered secretly.

"You don't need to get involved in this matter, we will handle it all. The reason I'm looking for you this time is because of Lu Jianxun's sister Lu Anran..." Zhang Zhonglong didn't say anything else, but he knew that Zhang Zixi must understand what he meant.

"An Ran..." Zhang Zixi couldn't help but feel a little worried when she thought of Lu An Ran.

"Uncle Zhong, don't worry. I won't let An Ran hinder this operation."

"Alas... if it were just that, it would be fine. Lu Jianxun obtained the meteorite copper and had done some research on it before, but... it can't be kept." Zhang Zhonglong added.

"...but Anran...she only has Lu Jianxun as her relative." Zhang Zixi was a little at a loss.

“I know you have deep feelings for others, so I am reminding you to be mentally prepared… Don’t…” Zhang Zhonglong didn’t continue. They were afraid that Zhang Zixi’s personality would make her stop it for Lu Anran.

"Uncle Zhong, don't worry. This is about the Zhang family, and I know it clearly." Zhang Zixi sighed and made up her mind.

"That's it...that's good."

———I am the dividing line———

When it was time for dinner, Zhang Zixi was still thinking about this matter.

She couldn't bear to let Lu Anran be alone from now on, but she couldn't stop this from happening, and it was her family that made her good friend drift in this chaotic world.

"Xier? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhang Qishan asked with some concern when he saw that she hadn't eaten much since she sat down at the table and was in a daze.

"Ah, brother? What did you say? I... I was thinking about something just now and didn't hear clearly." Zhang Zixi scratched her head and said embarrassedly.

"I mean, what's wrong with you? You look absent-minded and don't want to eat anything." Zhang Qishan sighed and asked again, indicating the full bowl in her bowl with his eyes.

"Well...Brother...Actually, I...don't know what to do about something."

"The Zhang family knows that Yuntong is with Lu Jianxun, and Lu Jianxun has also started to investigate Yuntong, so... we can't keep him anymore. But... An Ran only has him as a relative. If he also... what should An Ran do?"

"And... and... if An Ran knew that the person who killed her eldest brother was... she would hate me." Zhang Zixi had been thinking about it for a whole day and didn't know who to talk to. When Zhang Qishan asked her, she told him everything.
