What exactly is your purpose in approaching me?
Tang Li had so many questions she wanted to ask.
In the end, only this question came out.
Clearly, Tang Li's suspicions were within his expectations.
Therefore, Lu Zhixing remained calm in the face of Tang Li's questioning.
"Would you believe me if I said it was purely coincidental?"
Naturally, I don't believe it.
But these words only come out of his mouth.
Then she...
"letter."
Tang Li nodded: "My trust in you, from the moment you handed me the handkerchief, is like something I was born with. Even if I have doubts in my heart, I am still willing to break them and believe in you."
Regardless, he was his savior.
For this reason alone, Tang Li should be grateful.
So she stood up and smiled:
"I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, so I will bow to you."
Why not get to the bottom of this?
Without asking any more questions?
Lu Zhixing swallowed the truth that was already on the tip of his tongue.
"I thought you were going to repay me with your body. I was so scared. I was thinking, what am I going to do if you offer yourself to me in this day and age? I'm going to risk my own life to save you. It's such a waste."
This guy is hilarious.
Tang Li laughed so hard she almost fell over, then stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder:
"From now on, you, me, and Tang Yuan, the three of us will be brothers and sisters who have been through the same predicament. I was lucky to have you save me, and you were lucky to have that nameless girl save you. Only Tang Yuan..."
The thought of her brother filled Tang Li with sorrow.
“Actually, more than one girl saved me,” Lu Zhixing said.
"More than one?"
Tang Li looked puzzled: "No wonder this kind of thing can be based on looks? Handsome guys are just lucky with women?"
Lu Zhixing reached out and tapped her on the forehead:
"Are all book writers so imaginative?"
"Nonsense." Tang Li glared. "Authors have far more imagination than I do. I'm just a filler, and what I write is not worth mentioning."
However, Tang Li was still very curious.
"Who was the other girl who saved you?"
Lu Zhixing pointed at her:
"you."
"I?"
Tang Li laughed heartily:
"Stop joking. I heard everything from Meng Bei. You jumped into the icy river and saved me that day. That makes two times you've saved me, so I..."
"Stop."
Lu Zhixing stopped her: "Don't bow to me anymore."
If this continues, I'll have to bow three times.
The person is still alive, but the ceremony has already taken place.
Since she didn't need to bow and thank him, Tang Li sat back down in his chair: "Then tell me, how did I manage to save you when I was completely drunk?"
Lu Zhixing raised his injured hand and glanced at Tang Li's hand again.
"All things are suffering, only self-salvation can save you. In the end, the first person to save you was yourself."
It was only through the pain in her palms and her strong will that she was able to break free from the perilous situation and carve out a path to survival for herself.
Lu Zhixing realized that Chu Nai dared to act so brazenly, and that she must have been involved in more than one situation at the time, so he did not rashly ask for help at the restaurant.
Instead, they wait patiently for the right opportunity.
“Before last night, I was willing to help you simply because I trusted you.” Lu Zhixing squeezed his injured hand tightly.
The pain made him grit his teeth:
"But from today onwards, I'm not so much helping you as I'm helping myself."
Help yourself?
Tang Li looked puzzled, but did not interrupt Lu Zhixing.
"The moment I gripped the shards tightly, I suddenly realized that survival is a human instinct. Tang Yuan must have been just like you and me, desperately trying to save himself and call for help."
"But danger is unavoidable. This time, I found the restaurant, booked the private room, ordered the dishes, and even the bottle of wine on the table was brought by me and opened by myself. I didn't eat anything that left my sight. Even though I was so careful, I still don't know where things went wrong."
Because he dared not eat food that he hadn't watched being prepared, Lu Zhixing chose to drink alcohol.
No wonder he brought a bottle of good wine with him when he went out.
Tang Li felt the same way.
"Actually, you could have stayed out of it; there was no need..."
Before Tang Li could finish speaking, Lu Zhixing interrupted her:
"Therefore, Tang Yuan's matter must be thoroughly investigated."
A single sentence can express one's determination.
Tang Li extended his hand: "Okay, then let's start with the people who have signed confidentiality agreements."
With a handshake, an alliance was formed.
Lu Zhixing was quite shocked:
"You even got your hands on the confidentiality agreement?"
Tang Li proudly waved the list he had received and smiled:
"When I have a clear goal, no meal is wasted, and not a single grain of rice can be wasted."
Meng Bei told me that she went to have dinner with Yunxi.
In Lu Zhixing's view, everyone who had attended the wine tasting was a suspect.
That's why he was so wary of Chu Nai.
Although in the end it was still impossible to prevent.
The same goes for Yunxi.
As the organizer, she had all the advantages of timing, location, and people, making her a more suspicious figure in Lu Zhixing's eyes.
However, she handed the list of confidentiality agreements to Tang Li.
"Tangtang, you...you don't just want to investigate Tang Yuan's affairs? You also want to delve into what happened five years ago?"
"Since we're already investigating, let's do it together."
Tang Li spoke very casually.
He joked, "I'll write a suspenseful detective book next. For now, I'll just dedicate myself to literature and experience life first."
