Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Night fell quietly, and the entire capital city was shrouded in a hazy night.

Li Zhi stayed in the inn room, wondering whether he should go find Hong Fan.

He had his own plans in mind, and was thinking about telling Hong Fan that he was going out with Situ Han tomorrow.

After all, until now, Li Zhi still hasn't been able to fully understand Situ Han's true intentions, nor does he know whether there will be any changes during tomorrow's trip.

Therefore, Li Zhi thought it would be better to inform Hong Fan in advance so that he could be prepared for unexpected situations.

After all, it was Hong Fan who brought him to the capital this time. If anything happened to him, Hong Fan would inevitably be implicated. Therefore, if Li Zhi really encountered any accident, Hong Fan would not sit idly by.

But what was unexpected was that before Li Zhi had the chance to set out to find Hong Fan, Hong Fan came to him on his own initiative, which surprised Li Zhi a little.

Li Zhi looked at Hong Fan, who was beaming with joy. He smiled and said enthusiastically, "Captain, you came at such a coincidence. I was just thinking about looking for you, and you're here now."

Hong Fan also smiled, with a smile on his face, and said, "Haha, that's really a coincidence. I came here to tell you something. Today, Master Bao said that he wanted to give us a farewell party, so he asked us to go to him before we leave, so that we can get together and express our feelings."

When Li Zhi heard this, he was stunned at first, and was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that what he said casually in Situ Han's house during the day just to find an excuse would actually come true.

However, since Master Bao has invited me so enthusiastically, it is naturally difficult to refuse.

Moreover, Mr. Bao's invitation was exactly what Li Zhi wanted.

So Li Zhi nodded quickly and said sincerely: "Mr. Bao is so kind and generous, we must not let him down. How about this, Captain, let's go to Mr. Bao the day after tomorrow, what do you think? It happens that I have something to do tomorrow, and I have more time the day after tomorrow, so we can have a good gathering with Mr. Bao."

When Hong Fan heard what Li Zhi said, he was very satisfied. Originally, he was worried that Li Zhi would be like before and would not be willing to have too much contact with Master Bao. Now that he saw that Li Zhi was so sensible and took the overall situation into consideration, he felt relieved.

Then, Hong Fan seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, you just said you wanted to talk to me about something. What is it? Tell me quickly."

Li Zhi did not hesitate and said directly: "It's like this, Captain. Tomorrow, Deputy Chief Situ Han said he would take me to a place, but he didn't tell me where it was. I really don't know, so I thought I would tell you first, so that if anything happens, you will have an idea."

Hearing this, Hong Fan nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I understand. Then you should be more careful tomorrow. I will come to see you the day after tomorrow, and then we will go to Master Bao together."

After Hong Fan and Li Zhi had reached an agreement, he left.

Li Zhi also went to bed early to get enough rest for tomorrow's work.

 …

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light and a faint fish belly white appeared in the sky, Li Zhi came out of the inn.

The inn was not far from the Yeyousi government office, so Li Zhi arrived at the door of the Yeyousi early and waited quietly for Situ Han's arrival.

The streets were still quite deserted at this time, with only a few pedestrians passing by in a hurry. Occasionally, the sound of birds chirping broke the silence of the early morning.

After a while, Li Zhi saw Situ Han walking towards him from afar.

Situ Han was wearing a cloak, but his face was still as pale as usual, with a hint of illness.

Seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Meet the deputy chief!"

Situ Han smiled on his pale face and responded, "Oh, you're here quite early. Just call me Brother Situ. Deputy Chief Situ sounds unfamiliar."

Li Zhi replied modestly: "Okay, Brother Situ! I live close to here and I just arrived not long ago."

Situ Han nodded slightly and said, "Let's go inside the office."

Having said that, he started walking towards the Yeyousi government office.

Noticing that Li Zhi was still standing there, Situ Han couldn't help but stop and turned around to ask, "What's wrong? Why are you still standing here?"

Li Zhi pointed to the inside of the Night Tour Department and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Deputy Chief, you said yesterday that you would take me to a place. Could it be inside the Night Tour Department?"

Situ Han smiled and replied, "Yes! Why? Are you surprised?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhi was really a little surprised.

You know, Li Zhi tossed and turned in bed all night yesterday, racking his brains to guess where Situ Han was going to take him, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out.

Unexpectedly, it was inside the Night Patrol Department. This was really beyond his expectations.

However, this result did make Li Zhi's originally tense defenses relax a little.

After all, in the Night Tour Division, everything is governed by rules. Even though Situ Han is the deputy director and has great power, he cannot act recklessly.

Here, there are colleagues everywhere and many rules to follow. It can be said to be a relatively safe place. Thinking of this, Li Zhi felt more at ease and hurriedly followed Situ Han's footsteps and walked towards the Night Tour Department together.

Although Li Zhi had been to the Yeyousi with Hong Fan before, the Yeyousi is an important place that cannot be entered casually.

After all, there might be some confidential information hidden in it. If you accidentally see something you shouldn’t see, or touch something you shouldn’t touch, it would be a big trouble. Who knows what kind of disaster might arise.

Fortunately, this time, with Situ Han leading the way, Li Zhi felt more at ease.

He followed Situ Han silently, step by step, and soon they came to a house in the corner.

This place is quite remote and quiet, with few signs of people passing by on weekdays.

Li Zhi subconsciously glanced around the surroundings. Everywhere he looked, there was silence. He indeed did not notice anyone walking around.

However, just when Li Zhigang arrived here, he keenly sensed a strange feeling, as if a sharp gaze like a needle was locked directly on him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

Li Zhi couldn't help but frowned slightly, and he suddenly felt an urge to find out where this gaze that was monitoring him came from, but reason forced him to suppress this urge.

He knew that someone was secretly guarding and monitoring him.

Therefore, Li Zhi also knew that this place was definitely not an ordinary place. After all, if it was an ordinary place, how could someone be guarding it in secret?

Situ Han walked to the door of the room and knocked gently. As he knocked, a small window suddenly opened on the door. The window was not big, just enough for a hand to fit through.

Then, Situ Han calmly took out his token from his arms and handed it steadily to the window.

At this moment, a pale and skinny arm stretched out from the window. After taking the token handed over by Situ Han, the arm quickly retracted.

Seeing this, Li Zhi subconsciously narrowed his eyes and looked inside the window curiously, but to his disappointment, it was pitch black inside, so dark that it seemed to swallow up all light, and he could not see what the scene inside was like.

After a while, the pale and skinny arm stretched out again, holding Situ Han's token. After Situ Han took the token, the arm quickly retracted, and the small window closed silently.

Situ Han seemed to be accustomed to such procedures. Without any hesitation, he reached out, pushed open the door, and walked in.

Seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly followed and walked in.
