Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

Cheng Ji was silent for a moment. When he looked up again, the carelessness in his eyes was gone. "I will only answer one question for you. Now I ask you, are you sure you want to ask this? And why do you have to know the answer?"

Xie Yuchen looked normal, but his eyes still showed his stubbornness about this matter: "I'm sure."

"My every move now concerns the lives of everyone in the Xie family. I can't put myself in such a passive situation."

Xie Yuchen looked directly into Cheng Ji's eyes and continued, "Although you have been helping me for a long time, I can't put all my bets on you. I need to know the truth about this matter."

Cheng Ji chuckled and did not answer Xie Yuchen directly: "Once I tell you about this, you will not be able to stay out of it. You have already admitted that you have entered this trap."

"Ah."

Looking at Xie Yuchen who was unmoved, Cheng Ji would be lying if he said he didn't sigh. Why were all the people of the Nine Gates so curious about this matter?

The young man sitting opposite Xie Yuchen sighed softly and said helplessly: "The Nine Gates are now under the control of a family. In addition to the Hong family, many of their people have infiltrated other families in the Nine Gates and are already in a core position."

"What Wu Sanxing is doing now is to uproot those people in the Nine Gates. Once this plan is launched, there will be only two results. One is to wipe out that family directly, and the other result is what none of us want to see, that is, the Nine Gates will cease to exist."

Xie Yuchen was smart and naturally understood everything immediately. After thinking carefully about the result, he frowned and asked, "The core of the plan is Wu Xie?"

"Yes and no, Wu Xie is the best person to confuse those people." Cheng Ji picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said lightly.

Xie Yuchen didn't quite understand. In his opinion, Wu Xie had finally gotten away from those old generation of the Nine Gates, so why was he being dragged in again?

Cheng Ji seemed to understand Yu Chen's confusion and said with a smile: "The only way to break this situation is to be outside their chessboard."

In a word, I can’t figure out the meaning, but I’ll get the point across.

Xie Yuchen wanted to ask something else, but from then on, Cheng Ji refused to answer anything related to the plan.

Until Xie Yuchen took out the silk book from Xie Lianhuan's relics and threatened: "I probably already know where Wu Sanxing is going to go next, and I have sent people to monitor his whereabouts early on. It is almost highly consistent with what is written in this silk book. These places are also very important to his plan. What if I go there now?"

"Why does Master Xie need to do this?" Cheng Ji put down the tea he was holding with a smile, looked at Xie Yuchen and said slowly.

"His plan has nothing to do with me. I want to intervene now only because it involves my boyfriend, so I help him. What does the Nine Gates have to do with me?"

"Nine Gates Association..." Xie Yuchen did not believe what Cheng Ji said. He did not think that Cheng Ji would ignore the Nine Gates Association, which he was currently in charge of.

Hearing these four words from Xie Yuchen, Cheng Ji sneered: "This Nine Gates Association is a mess that I had to take over after killing Zhang Qishan. If Master Xie wants it, just take it."

Cheng Ji's words were really beyond Xie Yuchen's expectations, and the whole room fell silent for a moment.

Cheng Ji felt a little bit sorry when he saw Jie Yuchen in distress. He was not from the Nine Gates, so he couldn't really just let these kids struggle in the mud.

After a long while, Cheng Ji spoke softly, "I will not let this plan fail as long as I am here. You don't need to worry at all, Mr. Jie. All you can do now is to ignore everything. When the plan is in progress for a certain period of time, you will naturally know what to do."

When Xie Yuchen heard these words, he felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill, and his originally anxious heart actually calmed down.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Ji stood up and walked out of the secret room. When leaving the secret room, he slightly turned sideways, glanced at Xie Yuchen who was still in a daze, whispered a few words, then pushed open the door of the secret room and walked out.

"Xiaohua, don't think too much, just do whatever you want, I will help you."

The young man's words made Xie Yuchen's body tremble violently.

He hadn't heard this name for a long time. At first he thought that it was Wu Xie who first called him that, but the boy's words just now suddenly reminded him of an earlier memory.

When he was very young, he started to learn skills from the second master.

The young man appeared and spoke to him as gently as before.

"Xiaohua, I hope you are safe and sound. I will protect you, don't worry."
