Chapter 358: Promise
Chi Ruxia couldn't bear it any longer and immediately looked like she was going to flip the table over. She asked, "What do you mean? Don't I know what my own senior brother looks like?"
Guan Ziheng immediately panicked, waved his hands, and said in a weak voice: "...Miss Chi, don't be angry, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
Seeing this, Qingchuan immediately smoothed things over, saying, "Miss Chi, Brother Guan meant no offense. He just wanted to be on the safe side and confirm it, so as to avoid misidentifying the wrong person and causing unnecessary joy. He would get stuck here and delay Miss Chi from finding the person she cares about."
How could Chi Ruxia not understand what everyone meant? She was just anxious for the moment, and the eldest senior brother had completely forgotten what she looked like, so she was a little anxious.
She tried to calm herself down, her eyes reddening, her voice choked with sobs and a hint of stubbornness as she spoke, "My senior brother's health is not as good as ours, but my father taught him some self-defense techniques to prevent him from being bullied when he travels in the future due to his lack of martial arts skills."
After hearing what Chi Ruxia said, Guan Ziheng's concerns were somewhat dispelled.
only……
It also depends on what Lin Lezhi himself thinks.
Yes.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Lezhi.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Lin Lezhi knew that this matter concerned him and he couldn't just stay there. He had to make a decision.
After taking a deep breath, he looked at Chi Ruxia and said slowly: "Miss Chi, to be honest, I have lost my memory."
Upon hearing this, Chi Ruxia's eyes suddenly narrowed, and her face was full of disbelief and heartache.
Although she had thought of this a long time ago based on Lin Lezhi's reaction, she still found it hard to accept when she heard Lin Lezhi say it in person.
"how come……"
"I fell into the water when I woke up, and I don't remember anything before that." Lin Lezhi smiled, with a pang of pain and helplessness in his heart. He apologized, "I'm sorry, I can't return your senior brother to you for the time being."
"Big Brother, what are you talking about?" She couldn't accept it, feeling both distressed and angry. "We'll go back to Tiandi Pavilion tomorrow and explain things to Daddy. We have many rare and precious medicines at home. Even if we don't have any, we can go out and look for them. In short, if we all work together, we can definitely help you recover your memory, find out the truth, and find the person who harmed you."
Chi Ruxia became more and more anxious as she spoke, wishing she could take Lin Lezhi back to Shaotian City and bring him back to Tiandi Pavilion right away.
"Miss Chi." Lin Lezhi's eyes were filled with apology, and his voice weakened as he said, "I can't go back with you now."
"why?"
Chi Ruxia couldn't understand what could be more important than curing her senior brother.
Lin Lezhi glanced at Xiao Yihuo from the corner of his eye, then said firmly, "Because it's a promise. Since I made it, I can't go back on my word."
"But…"
Lin Lezhi smiled and said, "I promise you, when I have fulfilled my promise, I will return to Tiandi Pavilion and work with you to find out if I am the person you are looking for. If you wish, you can continue to call me Big Brother. If not, you can..."
"Of course I do!" Chi Ruxia responded without hesitation, "You are my senior brother. I won't mistake you for me."
She respected Lin Lezhi's thoughts and said with a firm look, "Big Brother is a man of his word and values friendship. I respect his wishes and decision. Since that's the case, I won't go back. I'll stay with you and protect you."
"No."
Unexpectedly, Lin Lezhi refused so quickly. Chi Ruxia also realized from Lin Lezhi's anxious tone that Lin Lezhi might be afraid that she would be in danger.
"Big Brother, you don't have to worry about me. I'm very skilled."
After saying that, she thought about how she was trapped here and just rescued, and said with a little embarrassment: "This time... this time it was just a moment of carelessness. I made a mistake and fell into the enemy's trap."
Lin Lezhi realized that he was a little impatient.
After all, the matter concerning Xiao Yihuo is not a trivial matter and cannot involve Tiandi Pavilion.
"I'm not doubting your skills. I know you're worried about my safety. But don't worry." Lin Lezhi looked at the people around him, his eyes full of trust as he said, "I'm surrounded by people with strong martial arts skills. I'll be fine."
Seeing Lin Lezhi's trust in them, Liu Yunhe couldn't help but feel a little excited and promised, "I won't let anything happen to him." Then, with some stubbornness, he questioned in a low voice, "Besides, even if you say you are Chi Ruxia, we can't just let you take him away. Who knows if you are real or not?"
"you…!"
The situation that had been stabilized with great difficulty seemed to be about to collapse again, and it seemed that a fight was about to break out.
Although it was only one-sided on Chi Ruxia's side, Liu Yunhe looked as if he had said something wrong and that he was doomed.
Lin Lezhi looked a little embarrassed. To change the subject and further explore what he wanted to know, he immediately said, "Miss Chi, you just said that you were careless for a moment and fell into that person's trap, but what happened? Did he hurt you?"
Chi Ruxia gets angry when talking about this matter.
Compared to Liu Yunhe's suspicion of her, he was obviously more concerned about being tricked by Qiao Ying, but at the same time, he looked a little panicked as he said, "It was that guy who disguised himself as Senior Brother Luo. I was not paying attention for a moment, and by the time I realized that the weapon he was carrying was not right, he had already sealed my acupuncture points. However, he didn't do anything to hurt me. He just kept me trapped here and brought me some food on time."
"Then why did you come here?"
"I... of course I came to see you, Senior Brother!" she said confidently, "I heard about the Huaifeng Village case, and thought you might have heard about it too and would come to Pinghai Town to investigate it, so I rushed here. How is the case going now? Is there any progress? And have you encountered the person who harmed me?"
Although she looked like she was going to find that person to avenge her previous humiliation and teach him a lesson, her stiffness when changing the subject and her panicked look when she avoided his gaze revealed that she was hiding something.
Since Chi Ruxia didn't intend to say anything, Lin Lezhi didn't intend to ask any further.
"The case has been solved. It was committed by a group of tomb robbers eleven years ago who were greedy for money. Now all the thieves have been executed."
As he spoke, he glanced at the sky outside. It was already very late, and it would be dawn in about an hour and a half.
So many things happened during this night.
It takes time to sort things out bit by bit.
He paused, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, and said softly, "Anyway, I'm glad you're not hurt. It's getting late now, so go to bed early. If you want to know the details, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Seeing that Lin Lezhi didn't ask any more questions and didn't seem to doubt her words, Chi Ruxia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She immediately said with a starry face, "I knew that Senior Brother was the most powerful. He will definitely be able to solve this case!"
Then, he chuckled a few times and waved his hand to send him off, saying, "Well... Big Brother, you should have a good rest too. See you tomorrow."
