Chen Kainan refused to tell me the truth, which was completely to my surprise. I smiled faintly.
"You're here for the Phoenix Flower, right?"
Chen Kainan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at me with wide eyes in disbelief.
"how do you know?"
I looked up at him and found that there was caution in his eyes.
"How do I know? Don't worry about it. I just want to ask you one thing. Why are you looking for the Phoenix Flower?"
Chen Kainan did not answer my question, but asked vigilantly: "Who are you? Why do you know about this?"
I glanced at him and said, "You don't have to be hostile to me, let alone worry that I will harm you. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't save the old lady. What do you think?"
Chen Kainan stared at me for a while, then nodded and his expression relaxed a little.
Then he let out a long sigh, "Since Brother Zhang already knows, I won't hide it from you. You are right. We are really here for the Phoenix Flower this time, because there are people in our family waiting for it to save their lives."
.”
"Help, old lady? She has no problem anymore," I said.
"Brother Zhang, you may have misunderstood. It is not grandma who is waiting for the Phoenix Flower to save her life." Chen Kainan said something I didn't expect.
"Not the old lady? Who is that?" This made me slightly surprised.
Chen Kainan hesitated for a moment with a complicated expression and said, "She's my sister-in-law."
"What did you say?"
My head pounded and I froze in place. The old lady only had one daughter, and Chen Kainan’s sister-in-law was my mother.
Unexpectedly, something happened to my mother, which made my heart tense for a moment.
"Tell me quickly, what happened to your sister-in-law? What happened?" I grabbed Chen Kainan's clothes.
Chen Kainan was immediately confused by my unusual behavior and looked at me in confusion.
"Brother Zhang, do you... do you know my sister-in-law?" Chen Kainan asked softly.
I quickly let go of my hand, knowing that my reaction was a little too big.
I took a deep breath to calm down my emotions, but my heart was extremely worried. I didn't know what happened to my mother.
No wonder the old lady is like this and wants to come to this deep mountain and wild forest. I didn't quite understand it before, but now I understand everything.
I subconsciously prepared to rush out and ask the old lady face to face, but as soon as I moved my steps, I stopped. Since the old lady refused to tell me before, she would definitely not tell me now if I asked her.
In this case, I can only get information from Chen Kainan.
"Master Chen, can you tell me what happened to your sister-in-law?" I asked again.
Chen Kainan became even more confused, "Brother Zhang, why do I feel you are so nervous? Do you really know my sister-in-law?"
I said patiently: "I have never seen her before, you can rest assured about this."
"Then why are you so nervous?" Chen Kainan was obviously not so easy to fool.
"You don't have to worry about this. As long as you tell me the reason, I promise you to join your Chen family and help you win the Phoenix Flower. And I can guarantee that I will never have any intention of touching the Phoenix Flower!"
"Really?" Chen Kainan's eyes lit up.
"A gentleman's words are hard to follow. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Liu to testify." I said.
As soon as I finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded outside the tent, "Who is looking for me?"
Immediately afterwards, the tent was opened from the outside, and Mr. Liu poked his head out of the curtain.
Chen Kainan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mr. Liu back. Mr. Liu nodded, then walked in and laid his eyes on me.
"Brother Zhang, I didn't expect us to meet again!" Mr. Liu greeted me with a smile.
"Mr. Liu, you came just in time. There happens to be something that needs you to be a witness." I said.
Mr. Liu nodded gently, "I just came back from outside and happened to overhear the conversation between you two. I did it unintentionally. I hope you can forgive me."
Mr. Liu bowed his hands to me with an apologetic look, then looked at Chen Kainan and said: "Kainan, since Brother Zhang wants to know, just tell him. It's not a big secret anyway. Zhang can be replaced."
If brothers give us help, our chances of success will be much greater."
Chen Kainan obviously trusted Mr. Liu very much. After hearing this, he immediately nodded without hesitation.
"Since Brother Zhang wants to know, I will tell you the truth. The matter is actually very simple. My sister-in-law has a strange disease for some unknown reason, a strange disease that can endanger her life. If you want to cure this strange disease, anyone can do it."
All the medical treatments are ineffective. Grandma said that the Phoenix Flower must be used, so Grandpa asked me to bring someone to accompany Grandma here. Brother Zhang, you are also a member of Xuanmen, so it must not be difficult to understand!"
"What kind of disease is it? Can you tell me in detail?" I felt like my blood was boiling.
I may not care about others, but that is my mother, my only blood relative in this world.
Speaking of this, Chen Kainan was also a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhang, I really don't know about this. My sister-in-law has been living alone in the courtyard, and we usually don't see her at all."
"Why? Why can't I see her?" My eyes turned red all of a sudden, and I instinctively thought that it must be the good deeds of that old bastard Chen Longxiang.
"Brother Zhang, are you sure you don't know my sister-in-law? You?" Chen Kainan asked again.
I took a deep breath, tried to suppress my emotions, and then looked at Mr. Liu.
"Mr. Liu, do you know much about this matter? Is it necessary to use the Phoenix Flower?"
Mr. Liu nodded solemnly, "So far it seems that is indeed the case."
"The Zhou family also wants the Phoenix Flower, right?" I asked.
"This should be."
"How sure are you?" I asked.
Mr. Liu sighed softly, "I was 60% sure about what I said before, but now I am not sure at all!"
"Is it because there is no fire support?" I asked.
Mr. Liu shook his head gently.
"I'm afraid our biggest enemy this time is not the Zhou family, but the things inside the mountain."
I was slightly startled. It seemed that Mr. Liu also noticed something unusual.
Thinking of this, I said to Mr. Liu: "Mr. Liu, if you need me for anything, just ask, and I will do my best to help you get the Phoenix Flower."
"It would be great to have Brother Zhang help!" Mr. Liu looked happy.
I nodded lightly, "But there is a more important thing that needs to be resolved right now."
"What's the matter?" Chen Kainan and Mr. Liu asked in unison.
My interview suddenly became cold, and then I looked outside the tent.
"We must find the murderer before entering the mountain."
