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

"So that's why you asked me out that day?"

"Correct."

"Why... did you attack my eldest brother?"

"He touched my family's secrets."

"And then...you lied to me that day and pretended you knew nothing..."

"Yes."

"So, your so-called concern for me and the friendship you showed me were all just an act?"

"No, I really think of you as a friend, and I never thought things would turn out like this. I didn't tell you because I couldn't bear to part with you as a friend, and I didn't know how to face you."

"I'm sorry, Anran, I can't help it." Seeing that Lu Anran didn't ask any more questions, Zhang Zixi apologized first.

Lu Anran was a little shaken after listening to what Zhang Zixi said. He pushed Zhang Zixi away and pulled the sharp weapon out of her shoulder.

"You didn't hide because you wanted to repay my guilt? Then why didn't you let me stab you in the heart? How much truth and falsehood are your words?" Lu Anran moved away and saw Zhang Zixi covering the wound on her shoulder that was still bleeding with her hand, and questioned her.

Just then, Zhang's personal soldiers noticed something was wrong and rushed to Zhang Zixi's door.

"Miss, are you okay?" Several soldiers saw the injured Zhang Zixi and Lu Anran standing beside them with a sharp weapon, and surrounded the two.

"An Ran, if possible, I would like to return everything to you. However, I still have things I want to do. I can't just... collapse here."

"I'm sorry...I'm really sorry..."

Lu Anran didn't know what to say, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhang Zixi tilted her head to look at the wall clock and found that Zhang Qishan's car was about to arrive at the house. If Lu Anran didn't leave, she was afraid that Zhang Qishan would never let her leave Changsha again.

"Anran, hurry up. My brother is back. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave." Zhang Zixi stepped forward and pushed Lu Anran who was still standing there.

"Anran, you have a better future waiting for you, go quickly." Zhang Zixi said as she took the knife from Lu Anran's hand and pushed him out.

"Let her go." Facing the unwilling personal soldiers surrounding her, Zhang Zixi held the knife in Lu Anran's hand against her own neck.

Seeing this situation, the bodyguards had no choice but to move aside.

Lu Anran ran out quickly, and when he ran out of Zhang Zhixi's room, he slowed down and said, "Don't forget my wedding banquet."

"it is good."

When Zhang Qishan and Adjutant Zhang got out of the car, they only saw Lu Anran's back running out.

"No one of you is allowed to tell my brother about this." Zhang Zixi saw Lu Anran had already run out of the room, and turned to the guards and gave them instructions.

Zhang Qishan looked at Lu Anran who ran away in confusion, and felt that he looked familiar. After thinking about it, he asked Adjutant Zhang beside him.

"Who was that person who just ran away?"

"It seems...she is Lu Jianxun's sister."

"Didn't Xier send the person somewhere else?"

"Maybe there's something you want to say."

Zhang Qishan walked into the house and didn't notice anything wrong. But Adjutant Zhang subconsciously looked up at Zhang Zixi's room and found that Zhang Zixi was also looking down from the terrace of the room.

The moment their eyes met, Zhang Zixi subconsciously put down her hand that was covering the wound, and immediately turned around to make herself appear more natural.

Zhang Zixi reacted quickly, but was still seen by Adjutant Zhang. The blood from the wound on her shoulder had seeped through her clothes, but Zhang Zixi herself was unable to do it completely.

Adjutant Zhang noticed something was wrong and rushed to Zhang Zixi's room.
