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

"Xier, there are many things in this world that you have to do. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. The overall situation is important. Just do what you should do." Zhang Qishan knew her troubles and gave her some advice.

"Yeah." Although Zhang Zixi nodded to show that she understood, she was still a little sad in her heart.

"Eat quickly." Zhang Qishan urged her to eat quickly and not to go hungry.

When the day came for the Zhang family to take action, Zhang Yuxuan specifically asked Lu Anran to go out with her so that she could stay away from this matter.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Anran wanted to say goodbye to Zhang Yuxuan and go home.

"An Ran, stay with me for a while longer. Don't be so anxious to go home."

"Zhixi, the sun is about to set. It's so late, my brother will be worried. You should go home quickly, otherwise the Buddha will be worried too." Lu Anran evaded the question.

"Well... you bought so many things but didn't bring anyone with you. I'll help you carry them home and then I'll go back." Zhang Zixi looked at the clock and thought that the operation should be over, but she couldn't bear to see Lu Anran go home alone and see such a scene, so after thinking about it, she decided to go back with her.

"Okay. Let's go together." Lu Anran nodded and smiled as he took Zhang Zixi home.

"Brother, I'm back."

Lu Anran put down what she was holding and found that the house was silent. She called out to Lu Jianxun but no one responded.

"Brother?" Lu Anran walked in a little more suspiciously and called out again.

"Miss... Commander Lu... " Lu Jianxun's adjutant heard An Ran's voice and rushed over to call her.

"Adjutant Lu, where is my elder brother? I bought him some new clothes. Let him come out and try them out to see if they fit him."

"Miss, you should...go and take a look...Commander Lu...he..."

"What happened to my brother? Take me there quickly." Lu Anran heard something wrong and wanted to rush to Lu Jianxun.

Zhang Zixi was afraid that she couldn't bear it, so she followed her over.

"Brother?" Lu Anran walked to Lu Jianxun's secret room and called out tentatively, but got no response. He walked a little closer and found Lu Jianxun lying on the road, already dead.

Lu Anran was so frightened by the scene that she collapsed to the ground, covering her face and crying.

Zhang Zixi lowered her eyes as she looked at Lu Jianxun's miserable condition, then she put her arm around Lu Anran's shoulders and turned her around so that she could not see anymore.

"Zhixi, why, why would my elder brother... obviously... obviously he was fine when I left home this morning."

"What should I do? Who... who did this? Wuwuwu."

Lu Anran buried her head in Zhang Zixi's arms and cried inconsolably. Zhang Zixi didn't know what to do and could only pat her back to comfort her.

Zhang Zixi was worried about Lu Anran's condition and didn't want her to stay in the Lu Mansion any longer, so she brought her home to take care of her.

"Zhixi, what should I do in the future?" Lu Anran was tired of crying and leaned against Zhang Zixi and asked her.

"Don't worry, I'm here. I will definitely protect you, and when the time comes, I'll arrange for someone to send you to a safe place." Zhang Zixi patted her and comforted her softly.

"Zhixi...can you...can you help me...find out who did this to my eldest brother?" Lu Anran nodded after hearing her words, and when he calmed down a little, he looked up and asked her.

"I...I...will try my best..."

"Once I find that person, I want to take revenge. Can you help me? Then the time comes." Lu Anran seemed to have made up his mind and looked up at Zhang Zixi.

"...Okay...I...will help you." Zhang Zixi didn't know what to say but seeing Lu Anran's expression, she had no choice but to agree.
