Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 531 Situ Han

Deep down, Li Zhi has always been wary of Situ Han.

Although Situ Han had never shown any hostility since their first meeting, on the contrary, Situ Han was extremely kind to Li Zhi, helping him in every possible way.

However, after experiencing many things, Li Zhi gradually understood a truth.

That is, there is no free lunch in this world. Similarly, there can be no kindness between people without reason.

This kind of inexplicable kindness always has a sense of unreality.

Therefore, Li Zhi couldn't help but start to wonder if Situ Han was also secretly plotting against him.

Li Zhi also suffered from the aftereffects of the shock he received from Master Liu, but the feeling Situ Han gave Li Zhi was completely different from that of the previous Master Liu.

You know, back then, Master Liu was devoted to Li Zhi. However, he was calculating against Li Zhi from the beginning. In his eyes, Li Zhi was just a puppet, a tool under his control. Everything about Li Zhi was under his control.

No matter what Li Zhi does or how he does it, he cannot escape his control.

It was under this extreme pressure that Li Zhi developed an unstoppable fear of Master Liu that surged from the bottom of his heart.

However, Li Zhi did not have such a feeling towards Situ Han.

Although Li Zhi vaguely sensed in his heart that Situ Han's kindness to him might have some selfish motives, this selfishness seemed completely different from that of Master Liu.

Master Liu's selfishness seemed to want to eat him alive, but Situ Han's selfishness did not bring such fear to Li Zhi.

However, no matter what, as long as Li Zhi didn't figure out Situ Han's thoughts, he would not be able to get rid of his vigilance.

For this purpose, Li Zhi also secretly investigated Situ Han.

Although Situ Han's identity file as the deputy chief of the Night Patrol Division was classified as top secret, Li Zhi still managed to find out some information after making inquiries from various sources.

When Li Zhi heard this information for the first time, he was shocked besides disbelief.

That is, Situ Han is not from Yongguo!

A non-Yongguo native was actually able to sit firmly in the second-in-command position in Yongguo's Night Tour Division.

This was simply unbelievable to Li Zhi.

Although Li Zhi thought this information was a bit ridiculous, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire.

This also made Li Zhi feel a little suspicious, but he had no other way to verify the authenticity of this information.

Just at this moment, when Li Zhi heard Xie Qing mention Situ Han, his heart moved. He felt that this was a rare opportunity to ask the question that had been buried in his heart.

After all, Xie Qing and Situ Han are both deputy directors, and in terms of seniority, Xie Qing is even older than Situ Han.

Therefore, Xie Qing should be more familiar with Situ Han's situation.

When Xie Qing heard what Li Zhi asked, he raised his eyebrows, glanced at Li Zhi, and then replied calmly: "You kid, you are quite well-informed."

However, Xie Qing did not continue speaking. He simply said this sentence and said no more. Instead, he turned around and asked Li Zhi to leave together.

Looking at Xie Qing's back gradually walking away, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although Xie Qing did not give a clear answer to his question, Li Zhi had already gotten the answer he wanted from his reaction and the sentence "You are well-informed, kid."

That’s right, Situ Han, he is not from Yongguo!

 …

Yongguo, the night tour office of the capital.

In a room in the main building of the Night Tour Division, candles were brightly lit and lights were flickering.

Situ Han was sitting at his desk, concentrating on reviewing various secret reports submitted from all over the place.

His movements were quick and skillful, and he carefully read and annotated every secret report.

These tasks should have been approved by the chief of the Night Tour Division himself, but because Zhao Wuji was actually a lazy person, he had become a hands-off boss since Situ Han entered the Night Tour Division.

Apart from some important matters, Situ Han has always been in charge of other trivial matters.

Despite his busy schedule, Situ Han feels that his current life is very fulfilling. He enjoys and likes this busyness.

However, just as he was holding the red pen between his fingers, ready to continue reviewing the next secret report.

Suddenly--

"Clap."

A drop of bright red blood fell from his nose and landed heavily on the secret report. The drop of blood was as bright and dazzling as a plum blossom in full bloom, leaving a shocking mark on the paper.

Situ Han was slightly stunned, and before he could react, there was another "click" sound.

Another drop of blood fell, contrasting with the previous plum blossom, forming a strange picture.

The next moment, there were continuous "click" sounds, and drops of blood, like pearls with broken strings, kept hitting the secret report, staining the originally neat paper scarlet.

Situ Han couldn't help but frown, but it was not because of the discomfort caused by the nosebleed, but because the bright red blood had stained the paper, making some of the words on the secret report blurred.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is an important piece of information!

He casually took out a piece of silk cloth from his bosom. The cloth had faint stains of blood on it. This was because it had been wiped with blood many times, and no matter how many times it was washed, the blood stains could not be completely washed away.

Situ Han gently wiped the blood from his nose. Then he raised his head, but suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was a little blurry, as if there was a double image.

He blinked hard, trying to clear his vision, but the dizziness became more intense.

Situ Han calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly. He repeated this several times before his dizziness was slightly relieved.

After a long while, the double image in front of his eyes finally disappeared gradually, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly turned his head and looked out the window.

Outside the window, a crescent moon hung high in the sky, and cicadas on a nearby tree were chirping.

The temperature in summer is very high, and it is still very hot even at night.

Even the wind blowing into the house from outside was warm.

But even so, Situ Han couldn't feel the slightest bit of warmth at this moment. He subconsciously tightened his cloak around himself, as if only in this way could he resist the chill rising from the depths of his heart.

Situ Han's lips moved slightly, and he murmured to himself: "I hope... I can hold on until... you come back..."

The sound was as soft as a feather falling, as if only he could hear it.

"I also hope...you didn't let me down..."
