When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

Chapter 313 The embarrassment will not disappear, but will shift

"Where?"

Guan Ziheng was horrified, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears and that he had misheard, and the tone of the voice couldn't help but rise a few notes.

After confirming that he had heard correctly, Guan Ziheng was puzzled and said with fear in his eyes: "We finally came back from there, why do you want to go back again?"

"There's something I need to confirm."

Lin Lezhi's eyes were filled with determination. He turned to look at Guan Ziheng, and his eyes softened, but he said solemnly, "Ziheng, I came here to clarify one thing, so I have to go. This is my own business, and you don't have to get involved."

How could Lin Lezhi not know what Guan Ziheng said and his concerns?

As early as when he first met Xiao Yihuo and before he knew his identity, Xiao Yihuo had tested him many times to confirm whether he had lost his memory.

and so.

He came here just to find out who he is.

Since the abandoned house was the old house of the Xing family, there were clues leading to this place on the walls and in the basement, and Xing Tianqi wanted to kill him.

As long as he keeps investigating according to the clues he got from Xing Tianqi, he will surely be able to uncover the truth step by step and solve the mystery surrounding himself.

Whether it was Jiang Lian'an or Nan Rongyi, he had to find out.

If it was just his own business, it would be fine, but if Xiao Yihuo was also involved, the danger behind it could be imagined.

So, when he was talking to Guan Ziheng about what happened between him and Xiao Yihuo just now, he only briefly talked about his first meeting with Xiao Yihuo and the two cases they had experienced together, and did not reveal the identity of Prince Xiao Yihuo.

This way there is room for maneuver.

That's why when he was on the lake island, he told Guan Ziheng that he would leave after the Huaifeng Village case was settled.

He didn't want Guan Ziheng to take any risks.

"What do you mean this is just your business?"

Guan Ziheng suddenly spoke in a serious tone, leaving Lin Lezhi speechless.

"If you really think this is your own business, then you shouldn't have helped me in the first place. You shouldn't have said you wanted me to write storybooks to make money, and you shouldn't have brought me here. Now you want me to leave. Have you considered my feelings? Have you asked for my opinion?"

"I…"

"I knew from the beginning that you were hiding something from me, but why didn't I tell you, let alone ask? Because I don't care who you are. I said, whether you are Jiang Lian'an, Lin Lezhi, or that Wuyouke who only has literary ideas but terrible handwriting, it doesn't matter. As long as it's you, it's fine. I, Guan Ziheng, treat you as a friend and a confidant. You don't want me to take risks, so do I want to see my friend, who I believe in, take risks alone?"

Guan Ziheng's eyes were equally firm and serious, with a hint of anger as he said, "If you think we are dispensable friends, just ordinary acquaintances, or if you think I'm a coward and look down on me, then tell me now. As soon as this case is over, I will leave and I will never have anything to do with you again in this life."

Guan Ziheng's words undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Lin Lezhi's heart, exposing his selfishness and hypocrisy.

Yes.

At the beginning, I was the one who took the initiative to provoke Guan Ziheng to satisfy my own selfish desires, but I was also the one who felt that I could not bear to see this face that looked like Ji Hang disappear in front of me again, and I felt afraid and wanted to push Guan Ziheng away from me.

He is really too selfish.

He never asked Guan Ziheng about his wishes and thoughts.

Does Guan Ziheng want to write a book with me?

Do you want to leave your familiar hometown?

again……

Do you want to withdraw?

Lin Lezhi felt a pang of pain in his heart and felt extremely guilty. He looked at Guan Ziheng who was staring at him with an urgent and uncertain look in his eyes.

He knew that Guan Ziheng was waiting for his words.

I have to hear it.

After a long silence, Lin Lezhi finally opened his mouth and revealed his true feelings: "Ziheng, I also regard you as my lifelong confidant and have never looked down on you." He paused, his eyes revealing a firmness as he said: "I am not lying."

Hearing Lin Lezhi say this, Guan Ziheng's expression finally relaxed, and his tone calmed down as he said, "Just your words are enough."

But there was still worry in his eyes, and he insisted, "I know you have something you want to find out, and you also want to repay Xiao Xu for saving your life. But regardless of whether Xiao Xu's poison can be cured in the end, and whether they are hiding something from you, once his matter is resolved, it is best to cut ties with them and stop associating with them."

"..."

For some reason, when Lin Lezhi heard Ziheng asking him to draw a clear line between them, his heart ached and he felt a little hesitant.

Obviously.

When he first came to this world and knew that there was a huge vortex behind Xiao Yihuo that could devour him and leave no trace behind, he wanted to run faster than anyone else.

But now...

But he hesitated.

Seeing Lin Lezhi's hesitation and wavering, Guan Ziheng took a deep breath and said slowly, "I'm not asking you to agree to this immediately, nor do I intend to interfere with your choice of friends. I just hope you can think it through. Before you figure out whether they pose a threat to you, don't be too open with them. Be cautious."

Hearing this, Lin Lezhi suddenly laughed.

Guan Ziheng was already a little angry, and when he heard Lin Lezhi's smile, he felt that Lin Lezhi didn't take his words to heart.

"What are you laughing at? I'm talking to you seriously."

Lin Lezhi narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of inquiry rising in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sly smile as he said, "By the way...you're finally willing to tell the truth."

Guan Ziheng didn't understand what was going on, and was also uneasy at the look in Lin Lezhi's eyes.

"When have I ever lied to you? I've always told you the truth."

The smile in Lin Lezhi's eyes deepened, and he raised the corners of his mouth and said, "So, you really think my handwriting is terrible."

Upon hearing this, Guan Ziheng's slightly widened eyes became a little stiff, with a hint of evasion, and his face was full of the embarrassment of wanting to escape but not being able to.

It’s over.

I was so angry just now that I couldn't help but say what was in my heart.

Lin Lezhi smiled, not caring at all. Instead, he agreed and said, "It's nothing. I also think my writing is terrible."

"You know your handwriting is terrible, but you don't practice it more. If people knew that Wuyouke's handwriting was like a ghost's scribbles, they would laugh their heads off."

"So what? We make friends through literature, not words. What's important is the wonderful storytelling."

"You always have something to say."

In response, Lin Lezhi smiled.

Taking advantage of this topic, Guan Ziheng seemed to have thought of something. His attitude became serious again, and he asked Lin Lezhi what he thought: "Since you have decided to go with Xiao Xu and the others, should you hide your identity as Wuyouke?"

Now it was Lin Lezhi's turn to be embarrassed.

Lin Lezhi's smiling face froze slightly, he felt unsure and said guiltily, "Actually... Xiao Xu has already guessed that I am Wuyouke."

"what?!"

The shock in Guan Ziheng's eyes was even greater than before, and his eyes widened even wider.

Lin Lezhi's eyes evaded as he said, "Didn't I accidentally tell him the meaning of my name, Lin Lezhi, before?"

Be happy and know your destiny, and you will naturally have no worries.

Guan Ziheng still couldn't understand and stared at Lin Lezhi: "So what? If you insist on denying it, what can he do to you?"

Lin Lezhi avoided Guan Ziheng's questioning gaze, scratched his cheek lightly, and said, "I can't help it. He heard the flaws in what Guo Yong and the others said. Besides, I didn't hide how long I had known you from them."

Except for Xiao Yihuo and his group, everyone thought that they and Guan Ziheng had just met not long ago.

"So, you still haven't said it to death."

Guan Ziheng immediately grasped the key point.

So what if they said they had known each other for three months? There was no evidence. Lin Lezhi didn't admit it himself, so Xiao Xu couldn't do anything even if he insisted.

Guan Ziheng didn't need to ask any more questions, because Lin Lezhi's obviously evasive expression already explained everything.

“Worry-free…”

Guan Ziheng shouted in a long and low voice like a vengeful ghost, as if he wanted Lin Lezhi to be held accountable.

I just told Lin Lezhi to be more careful when interacting with them, but it turns out he has lost his care from the very beginning.

Lin Lezhi stood up from his chair and said, "Ziheng, you're right. I have to hide my identity as Wuyouke for now. I'm sleepy. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, Lin Lezhi pretended to be sleepy, ran to the bed and undressed, intending to put the matter behind him.

Because he was still worried about the Huaifeng Village case, when he saw that the fish glue marks on the pillow had disappeared, his eyes narrowed slightly and he asked, "Ziheng, have you changed this pillow?"
