Zhu Can was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "I can report you right now and say you are sent by the Communist Party. I will confiscate the Buddha's head and you as well!"
Xi Zhenghe nodded: "The Buddha Head has been with the young master for over a month. Investigating such matters can be big or small. If you say I am the one, how can the young master escape the suspicion?"
Zhu Can lied and said, "The innocent are innocent. Besides, Wang has been in love with me for a long time. I don't even need to say anything about this."
Xi Zhenghe looked at him deeply, not knowing what the meaning of his words was. Zhu Can flinched a little under his gaze, but Xi Zhenghe couldn't bear it. Skipping over the details, he went straight to the point of killing him. "Wang Cheng can't escape either. The Buddha's head was in his hands for a day. He has contacts in Yishan. If anything happens to us, someone will naturally tip us off. It's definitely not something that a mere District Guard Chief Wang Cheng can handle."
Zhu Can pondered the situation, unable to discern the complex web of relationships beneath the murky waters. He decided to withdraw while he was ahead, no longer resorting to deliberate provocation. "Doctor Xi, there's no need to be so heartless. I'm just frustrated by your pressing me so hard."
Zhu Can had no intention of keeping the Buddha head with him forever. It would be fine if someone was willing to take over this hot potato, but he never thought that this person would be Xi Zhenghe.
Zhu Can walked to the bookshelf and picked up the box, holding it in both hands as if it were a carefully cultivated flower.
"Besides, Doctor Xi, we've been friends for so long, don't you understand my personality?"
Zhu Can placed the box on the small table and gestured for the other party to open it with one hand:
"I've put a lot of thought into making you happy, Doctor Xi. I just lied to you about wanting a Buddha head. Just take it. There's no need to tell you everything."
Xi Zhenghe still avoided any friendly words and just shook his head: "No need to look at it. I'll just take the Buddha head with me as someone asked me to."
Zhu Can asked with great interest, "How do you carry something so heavy?"
"Medical kit."
"You weigh it and consider how heavy it is."
Xi Zhenghe went to take it as he was told. The heavy box seemed very light in his hand. Its large size was not in vain.
Zhu Can added, "Brother Yi doesn't want something this heavy."
Xi Zhenghe gave Zhu Can a doubtful look, and Zhu Can really fell for it. The man who usually seemed cold and sullen looked the cutest when he lost that stable sense of control, like a puppy that was suddenly put on a chain and couldn't bark.
"look."
Zhu Can opened the box, and the round and beautiful Buddha head was revealed in the sunlight. He reached out and fumbled around the broken neck for a while, then pointed out the location where he had hidden the secret letter.
"So this is the mechanism."
Zhu Can nodded: "I have taken the letter inside."
Xi Zhenghe frowned: "This will easily lead to trouble."
Zhu Can smiled: "That's better than waiting to die in the seemingly beautiful and peaceful ashes."
Xi Zhenghe didn't quite understand what Zhu Can said. Zhu Can said no more, turned around and went in. He took out his wallet which he had put in the inner room in the morning because he was wearing pajamas. He put the secret letter in the inner layer and wrapped it in a bill bag to hide it from others.
"Take this back to Brother Yi and tell him to keep it safe and don't lose it again. He might not be so lucky next time."
Xi Zhenghe nodded and was about to reach out to take it when Zhu Can quickly pulled his arm back. His fair face leaned closer and he suddenly said, "I've helped Doctor Xi so much. If anything goes wrong, my life and property will be at stake. How are you going to thank me, Doctor Xi?"
Xi Zhenghe's eyelashes were drawn back, and half of his face was trapped in Zhu Can's shadow.
Zhu Can didn't wait for Xi Zhenghe to say anything else to spoil the mood and said directly, "I don't want to be rude and lose my composure, but I just have something I want to ask you."
Xi Zhenghe raised his eyes and looked at the person who was close to him.
"How does Dr. Xi really view our relationship?"
