After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

"What I meant to say," Xi Zhenghe sat up straighter, "was that Xiao Meixian hit him on the back of the head. He did it himself."

Zhu Can took a breath, this is also a ruthless person.

After Xi Zhenghe finished speaking, he paused for a while. Zhu Can looked at him, and the two of them were silent for a while.

Finally, Zhu Can spoke first:

"So you're still single, huh?"

Xi Zhenghe raised his eyes and his eyelashes fluttered.

"……Yes."

"Why are you so hesitant? It's not okay to be so honest and still lie."

Xi Zhenghe shook his head slightly: "This is not a lie."

"Hesitation... I just thought you would first ask why I was being chased in the middle of the night."

Zhu Can went over the matter in his mind. He didn't have any big emotional fluctuations at this time. Instead, he was a little interested and guessed along the way:

"As an intern doctor, I don't seem like the type to cheat or deceive people. The situation must have been dire, for you to resort to such a desperate measure. Knocking me out and stealing my clothes would be considered robbery. According to current laws, you're liable to three to five years in prison. To be able to put yourself at such risk..."

"Is it Brother Yi?"

Xi Zhenghe nodded.

Zhu Candao was indeed right. He only knew a few people related to Xi Zhenghe. It couldn't be the kind female doctor in the hospital who loved tea and walked slowly in the aisle.

"Then let me make another guess."

Zhu Can touched his chin and said, "Nowadays, warlords are all separatist. Except for our area next to the military control zone, which is relatively stable, the local tyrants in other places have to be replaced one by one before they can even get comfortable in their positions."

"For a month or two, the situation in the city was tense. The number of patrolling soldiers was more than doubled compared to usual. We figured someone, or something, had sneaked in, and it was difficult to search with all the fanfare. Calculating the time, it was probably around that time..."

What Zhu Can said was almost right. He liked to cross his legs when thinking, and the moment he moved, he touched the wound. He made a "hiss" sound and put his legs down again.

"I'm just curious, which faction does Brother Yi belong to? The one in the north? The one in the west? Or the one overseas? How come he's in such a miserable state? A few days ago, I heard Dada say that he had a pair of worn-out shoes on his feet that had been worn out three times and he was still mending them."

Although being a teacher is a bit poor, it is not that destitute. Moreover, if you become a secret agent under that person, you will always have some other income.

Zhu Can was puzzled. He had previously thought that this Yi was poor because he subsidized those little ghosts, but now it seemed that there was something else going on.

Xi Zhenghe pulled Zhu Can's hand. The white jade-like hand shuddered, and as if angry, it stretched forward again.

Xi Zhenghe wrote a word on the other person's palm with his index finger, then looked up and saw that Zhu Can's face was flushed and his lips were slightly open.

Xi Zhenghe frowned: "Master Zhu, have you never heard of this?"

Zhu Can finally reacted and pulled his hand back from the other person's thigh. He said slowly, "I've heard of it, I've heard of it..."

Zhu Can's thoughts turned again: "No wonder, two years ago I heard that they were pushed back in the battle and moved west, but this year we've been hearing news of victories one after another, the situation is very different."

Zhu Can looked at Xi Zhenghe and asked, "Doctor Xi is also one of them?"

Xi Zhenghe shook his head. "That night, I made an appointment with Yi Shan to meet up and reminisce about the past. Since I returned to China, he's been incredibly busy. He finally managed to squeeze out some time, but he only stayed for half an hour before leaving in a hurry."

"After we parted, I realized I had forgotten to give him the gift I brought. I went back to chase him, but before long I saw him secretly exchanging information with someone. Someone was ambushing him, forcing him and the person whose face I couldn't see to flee in all directions."

"I can't help but help."

Zhu Can sighed: "It's just a pity for such an unlucky guy like me."

Xi Zhenghe admitted that he was in the wrong and nodded with his eyes slightly lowered.

"But," Zhu Can wanted to lift his legs up again, but just as he was about to do so, Xi Zhenghe stretched out his hand and pressed it down.

Zhu Can twisted his body uncomfortably and continued, "Doctor Xi said there are many things going on, and there should be more than just this one. But this one concerns you and Yi Shan's life and property. You're telling me everything so easily, aren't you afraid that I'll report it to the police?"

Zhu Can leaned his upper body back against the chair, his eyelashes drooping, looking at people with his chin, showing a bit of arrogance that was not common to him.

Xi Zhenghe was unfazed by the posturing and simply said calmly, "You won't."

Zhu Can immediately straightened up and muttered, "You don't even say 'you' anymore. Where are your manners, Doctor Xi?"

Xi Zhenghe smiled for no apparent reason and said, "He's younger than me to begin with."

Zhu Can said, "If you have anything else to say, hurry up and tell me all at once. I'll file a complaint all at once to save me the trouble of going to the government office twice."

“That time in the coffee shop.”

Zhu Can narrowed his eyes: "What's the matter?"

“It wasn’t a chance encounter.”

Zhu Can exhaled through his nose: "You feel guilty, so you came to see me on purpose, didn't you?"

Xi Zhenghe slowly shook his head, then immediately said, "It's also because I wanted to see you."

Zhu Can felt an inappropriate warmth in his heart, but he continued to ask, "Then why are you shaking your head?"

"Yi Shan found out about your itinerary and asked me to go there on purpose."

"Oh--"

"Yi Shan and I have no relatives, why would you bring us together?"

Zhu Can used a strange verb, and Xi Zhenghe corrected him somewhat awkwardly: "It's not matchmaking."

Zhu Can smiled, as if he had something on the other party: "Whatever the victim said is what it is, and you still want to refute me?"

"If you say anything unpleasant again, I'll immediately tell the driver to get out and report to the sheriff."

Zhu Can secretly felt a little happy in his heart. The other party was willing to tell him such a thing, which meant that he must trust him. At this time, Nana Qiao raised his head like a little peacock.

Xi Zhenghe sat up straight and said:

"you will not."

Zhu Can puffed out his chest even higher: "How do you know I can't?"

Xi Zhenghe stretched out his hand and pointed at the box containing the Buddha head under the bookcase.

"Because Young Master Zhu is now also an accomplice."
