Chapter 210 - Single Dog

After Xing Jiuan thought about it, she felt that she had done nothing wrong. She had originally come to see Warlord.

However, Lu Zhichen spoke too much and it stunned her.

"Where's Warlord?" she asked, not seeing Warlord.

Lu Zhichen regretfully aimed the camera at Warlord.

"Do you have time in the next two days? I'll bring Warlord to see you."

"Probably not.

"In a few days…

"I'll be leaving Beijing for about half a month."

She continued, "It might take longer. I'm not sure either."

Lu Zhichen didn't expect to hear such a thing. He couldn't help but wonder if he wouldn't have known that Xing Jiuan had left if not for this call.

However, his current status also meant that he could not say anything.

He did not even dare to ask Xing Jiuan where she was going.

He was afraid that Xing Jiuan would think he had crossed the line.

After saying a few more simple words, Lu Zhichen urged Xing Jiuan to rest early.

Xing Jiuan hung up after saying goodnight to him.

"Woof." Warlord seemed to have noticed that Lu Zhichen was not in a good mood and even comforted him out of kindness.

"Single dog."

Warlord was stunned.

I'm consoling you, but you're bullying me?

It stretched out its paws and chased him away.

Lu Zhichen stood up and sighed. "I'm the same as you."

After being chased out of Warlord's residence, Lu Zhichen took his phone and prepared to go back.

The Old Master had not gone to rest yet. When he came out to sit in the living room, he happened to see Lu Zhichen coming in.

"You went out?"

"Yes. I went to see Warlord."

"It's so late. Why are you interrupting Warlord's rest just because you're not resting yourself?"

Lu Zhichen paused. "To talk to Warlord about life."

"Is it because of Jiuan?"

"Don't think too much about it, Grandpa. I'll go back to my room first."

"Go back." The Old Master did not say anything else. Lu Zhichen knew what to do.

Whether he could win her over depended on himself.

Lu Zhichen returned to his room and went to take a shower.

After was.h.i.+ng up, he couldn't help but sigh.

It would be a long time before he saw 21st again.

He didn't know if 21st would video-call him if he used Warlord as an excuse in the future.

At this moment, someone sent him a message. He picked up his phone and looked at it.

[Ninth Master, we found some clues regarding Miss Xing's abandonment back then.]

Lu Zhichen's expression immediately turned serious.

[Lu Zhichen: Speak.]

[Before the w.a.n.g couple abandoned Miss Xing, they had often interacted with a fortune-teller.]

[After that, that person disappeared for 10 years before appearing again. He has changed his name, but his appearance hasn't changed at all.]

[Lu Zhichen: Send me the photo.]

Looking at the photo the other party had sent, Lu Zhichen frowned.

[Lu Zhichen: Do you have any leads on this person now?]

[I haven't found him yet.]

[Lu Zhichen: Continue searching. Let me know immediately after you find him.]

[Yes.]

Lu Zhichen's expression remained stern.

The fortune-telling incidents seemed to be a running theme in his life.

The Old Master trusted fate very much, and Lu Zhichen was only half convinced that Xing Jiuan was his destined benefactor.

Some time ago, he had gone to a temple with the Old Master. The Old Master would often visit there, and Lu Zhichen would accompany him occasionally.

On the way, he b.u.mped into a fortune-teller. The other party had white hair, but his eyes were extremely bright.

"The person you love is in danger."

Old Master Lu hadn't been around at that time, so he hadn't heard Lu Zhichen and the fortune-teller's conversation.
