Chapter 106: Can't Break Your Promise

Chu Ran glanced at him and said, "Really? But it doesn't seem to hurt that much."

"It hurts." Li Fu limped two steps on the spot, "Look, I can't even walk properly."

"Then sit down and let me take a look?"

Li Fu stretched out his hand, meaning for Chu Ran to help him sit down. Chu Ran was a little speechless, but still went along with him and helped him sit down on the chair.

Li Fu bent down and pulled his trouser legs up a little, pointed at the spot where Chu Ran had just kicked him, and accused him, "Look, is it blue?"

Chu Ran took a look and although the lighting was not very good, it seemed to be really blue.

Although I know that Li Fu was pretending to be limping just now, but did he really kick that hard?

"I didn't know I had so much strength just now."

Chu Ran half squatted down, looked at the bruise, and frowned, "I'll go ask if there's any medicine, and apply some on you."

Chu Ran stood up to leave, but just after taking two steps, he pulled Li Fu back, so Chu Ran naturally sat next to Li Fu. He rubbed Chu Ran's soft fingers with a smile in his eyes, "I'm just kidding you, it's just a minor injury, it's okay."

"You..." After hesitating for a while, Chu Ran said, "What's going on? Tell me in detail."

After thinking for a while, Chu Ran added: "I want to know."

What Chu Ran was asking was why Li Fu disappeared in the battle of Hu'e Valley, and why he appeared here half a month later, and what was his purpose?

Chu Ran wanted to know all of this.

Li Fu lowered his eyes, his gaze was gloomy. In fact, Li Fu did not want to mention these to Chu Ran. It was not that Li Fu did not want to let Chu Ran know. In fact, no matter what Chu Ran wanted to know, Li Fu would tell him the truth. It was just that after he told Chu Ran these, Chu Ran would definitely worry about him, but Li Fu did not want that.

But if Chu Ran said he wanted to know, Li Fu would definitely tell him.

"Not long after Li Jinheng arrived in Yunzhou, my uncle and I discovered that Li Jinheng seemed to have some secret contact with Beidi."

Chu Ran frowned, "Li Jinheng is colluding with the enemy?"

Li Fu nodded and continued, "The battle in Hu'e Valley was a trap set by my uncle and I. Li Jinheng wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of me, but I had already thought of a way to escape. I pretended to be dead or alive, so that Li Jinheng would think that I was dead. It's just that the body has not been found. But in fact, I had already led people to sneak into the capital."

"Did Shen Minghan know about this? It was Shen Minghan who brought people to pick you up."

"Yes." Li Fu said in a deep voice: "Li Jinheng makes Shen Minghan feel threatened. Shen Minghan has always wanted to get rid of Li Jinheng. We have the same goal, so he will naturally help me."

On the way to see Li Fu, Chu Ran wondered if Li Fu had already arrived in the capital, but at that time he didn't understand how Li Fu could sneak into the capital without being discovered by anyone. It wasn't until he entered the Shen Mansion and actually saw Li Fu that everything became clear.

With the help of Prime Minister Shen Minghan, who has great connections in the capital, Li Fu could certainly hide it from everyone without anyone noticing.

Chu Ran thought for a moment and asked, "According to what you just said, do you have evidence that Li Jinheng is colluding with the enemy?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life and traveled all the way from Yunzhou to the capital. He must have something important to do.

"The evidence has been given to Shen Minghan." Li Fu said, "You and I don't have to worry about the rest. Shen Minghan will do it."

It seems that Li Fu has arranged everything in advance.

However, Chu Ran was worried about something else.

"If Li Jinheng is a wolf, then Shen Minghan is a tiger. It is even more dangerous to plot against a tiger. What's more, Shen Minghan has a grudge against you. Although you are pretending to cooperate with him now, he may not be unaware of this. He must be on guard against you in his heart. I am worried..."

"Don't worry." Li Fu said, "Since I'm working with him, I already have a plan."

"So when do you plan to leave Beijing?"

This time, Li Fu returned to the capital without telling anyone. The longer he stayed here, the more dangerous it would be. As Li Fu had just said, the evidence had been handed over to Shen Minghan, and they didn't need to worry about the rest. So Li Fu's mission had been completed, and the sooner he returned to Yunzhou, the safer it would be.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, this matter does not necessarily have to be done by Li Fu himself. He only needs to send a trustworthy person to hand the evidence to Shen Minghan. However, Li Fu took such a big risk and rushed to the capital in person.

"Are you here just to see me..."

Li Fu pinched Chu Ran's palm, which was the softest and easiest to pinch. "I said I would spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you. Although it's not the Mid-Autumn Festival yet, I can't break my promise."

Chu Ran's heart suddenly felt full, so full that it seemed like it was about to overflow, and his eyes also turned red.

He never told anyone that his parents' relationship had been bad for many years.

Originally they were a very good couple, but he didn't know when it started, his parents quarreled every other day and threatened to divorce. Until the day before his college entrance examination, the two of them had a complete quarrel. Neither of them wanted to tolerate each other anymore, so his mother moved out of the house.

When I was young, every time my parents quarreled, they would always start to shirk the issue of Chu Ran's whereabouts after the divorce. My father said that they were divorced and asked my mother to take Chu Ran away. He thought that taking care of a child after the divorce would mean taking care of a burden. My mother would say that she didn't want to take away the things that my father didn't want. It was as if Chu Ran was something very cheap. When they reconciled, they would always explain to Chu Ran that they were joking with Chu Ran and didn't really want Chu Ran. But in the end, my mother left the house first. She took away everything, but Chu Ran.

She was joking when she said she didn't want to take Chu Ran away, but in fact, she really didn't want to take Chu Ran away.

At that time, he knew that the mouth is the best at lying. When someone says something joking, it may not be a real joke, but they really mean it. When someone makes a serious promise, it may not be that serious, and they may forget it after a few days.

…

Happy New Year everyone!
