Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 291 Visiting a Madman

Li Zhi had no idea that he was almost regarded as a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered by some people with ulterior motives without knowing it.

If he knew about this, he would probably be angry and amused, and then kill those people.

Well, that's right.

The kind that is really slaughtered.

Li Zhi is not a good man. You know, Li Zhi is wealthy and well-known among the C class.

All these huge fortunes of his were “saved” bit by bit while he was on the run!

Li Zhi, who didn't know that he had almost made a windfall, was diligently searching for clues about the Fantasy World Tree in Yanling City.

Time passed quietly in his concentration and busyness, until the night fell slowly from the sky like a huge piece of black silk, covering the entire city. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Dragging his slightly tired body, Li Zhi returned to the inn that Mingyue had already booked.

At this time, Hong Fan and Ming Yue had been waiting patiently in the inn for a long time.

They had already ordered the food and were waiting for Li Zhi to come back.

Seeing Li Zhi return safely, Hong Fan immediately smiled and asked, "How is it? After exploring the city for so long, you didn't find anything unusual, did you?"

Li Zhi nodded slightly, indicating that everything was fine.

Seeing this, Hong Fan's sadness finally disappeared. He laughed heartily and said, "That's great. Since there are no abnormalities, we can return to Minglei City smoothly tomorrow!"

Li Zhi also smiled and said, "Yes, I can finally have a good rest."

Along the way, Li Zhi and his team not only had to search for the traces of the Fantasy World Tree, but also had to deal with some abnormal events they encountered.

Along the way, Li Zhi did not dare to be careless at all. After tossing around for so long, he naturally felt a little tired.

And more importantly, deep in Li Zhi's heart, he has always been weighed down by the matter of the Fantasy World Tree. He often can't help but worry about how he should deal with it if he really discovers the existence of the Fantasy World Tree during the exploration, and whether he will be affected by it.

After all, the discovery of the Fantasy World Tree in Narcissus City directly led to the deaths of the three Xin members of the Night Patrol.

Now, after his careful investigation in Leizhou, he finally confirmed that there was no Fantasy World Tree in Leizhou. Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge rock that had been hanging in his heart had finally fallen steadily to the ground.

The three of them sat around the table, chatted briefly for a few minutes, and then started eating in silence.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned to their rooms and prepared to have a good night's rest to recharge their batteries for the return journey tomorrow.

 …

The next day, the morning light was just breaking, and a faint paleness appeared on the horizon.

Li Zhi and Hong Fan woke up early from their sleep, and Mingyue, because of the habit of getting up early that she had developed over a long period of time in the Taoist temple, naturally got up early as well.

The three of them quickly packed up their things and then hurriedly set off on their journey back to Minglei City.

Along the way, the sound of horse hooves sounded like a cheerful song of triumph.

After a while, the magnificent and spectacular headquarters of the Night Patrol Division, Minglei City, came into their sight from afar.

At this time, Wei Si was on duty at the city gate.

Wei Si's shrewd eyes instantly caught the figures of Li Zhi and others. A warm smile immediately appeared on his face and he hurriedly greeted them.

As a local expert, Hong Fan naturally knew Wei Si, but he rarely asked Wei Si to help him with errands. Therefore, he just nodded slightly to Wei Si as a response.

Li Zhize walked straight towards Wei Si and asked in a casual tone, "Brother Wei, when will you hand over your shift?"

Wei Si replied without hesitation: "It will be soon. The shift will be handed over in half an hour."

There was a hint of expectation in his voice, as if he understood that there must be a follow-up to Li Zhi's question.

Li Zhi slightly turned sideways, pointed his finger at Mingyue beside him, and patiently explained: "This is my junior brother. Please help me take him back after you hand over your shift. I am in a hurry to hand in a task, so it is not convenient to take him with me."

"Okay, don't worry about it, just leave it to me."

Wei Si grinned, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

For a small person like him who works hard at the bottom of society, what he is most afraid of is not others coming to him for help, but he is afraid that no one will come to him for help.

What's more, in his eyes, Li Zhi was a wealthy man who was generous with his money. Every time he helped Li Zhi run errands, Li Zhi was generous and never stingy.

Therefore, Wei Si was naturally happy to run errands for Li Zhi.

Li Zhi looked at Wei Si's enthusiastic appearance and couldn't help but smile. He said, "Okay, don't leave for a while. I still have something to trouble you with."

Upon hearing this, Wei Si nodded with a smile.

After greeting Wei Si, Li Zhi brought Mingyue to a stall near the city gate and let Mingyue rest there for a while, waiting for Wei Si to take him back after handing over his shift.

After all, the Yeyousi is not an ordinary government office, and it is naturally inconvenient for outsiders like Mingyue to enter at will.

This is also the reason why Li Zhi asked Wei Si to take Mingyue back.

Mingyue also understood this, so he obediently followed Li Zhi's arrangements, sitting quietly beside the stall, watching the people coming and going around him, patiently waiting for Wei Si to take over.

Li Zhi and Hong Fan did not stop and went straight to the Yeyousi Yamen.

 …

When Li Zhi slowly walked out of the Yeyousi Yamen, it was already late.

This mission was finally successfully completed. Li Zhi stood on the steps outside the yamen and slowly exhaled a breath, as if to dispel all the tension and fatigue that had been accumulating in his heart for some time.

The heart that had been tense all the time seemed to have been untied from heavy ropes, and it relaxed a little, and I felt a lot more relaxed.

This mission was really not easy and the journey was quite long, during which we experienced many twists and turns. Fortunately, it has now been completed safely.

Shen Lie is also a good leader who cares about his subordinates. Knowing that Li Zhi has been working hard during this period, he specially approved a vacation for Li Zhi so that he can put aside the complicated affairs and have a good rest for a while to recuperate his body and mind.

Li Zhi was naturally happy to be able to have a good rest for a while.

At the same time, he did not forget to make an appointment with Hong Fan to go to the capital together.

Li Zhi raised his eyes to see the sky which was already at dusk, and the figure of Cheng Fengzi instantly emerged in his mind. He thought to himself that since he had been away for such a long time, it was time to go and see the injured Cheng Fengzi.

Thinking of this, he turned and walked towards Cheng Fengzi's house.

Along the way, Li Zhi bought some food that Cheng Fengzi liked to eat at the shops on the street. Then, he walked towards Cheng Fengzi's home with satisfaction.

Li Zhi had been to Feng Cheng's place several times before and was already familiar with the surrounding roads, so he was walking along the route with ease. Soon he arrived at the gate of Feng Cheng's house.

Looking at the familiar door, Li Zhi walked forward, raised his hand and knocked gently on the door. The knock sounded particularly crisp in the quiet alley.

After a while, the familiar voice of Cheng Fengzi was heard from inside the door: "Here I come..."

Then, the door slowly opened, and Li Zhi's gaze fell on Cheng Fengzi's slightly pale face.

It can be seen that the previous injury has not yet healed, and Cheng Fengzi's face is still not very good.

Fengzi Cheng looked up at Li Zhi carefully, then said with a smile, "You're finally back? Did you encounter any problems along the way?"

Li Zhi smiled and shook his head, saying in a relaxed tone: "Everything is fine. I just came out of the office. I was thinking about you and brought you something..."

As he spoke, he slightly lifted the bag full of food in his hand and shook it so that Cheng Fengzi could see it more clearly.

Seeing this, Fengzi Cheng laughed and said, "I've smelled it for a long time, come in quickly."

Having said that, Li Zhi strode into Cheng Fengzi's house.
