Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 60 This is saving a troublesome person!

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it any longer, Wu Sansheng secretly came up with a plan. He waved his hand, signaling Da Pan to take Qi Yao out first.

Seeing this, Xie Yuchen told Xie Qi to go out as well.

"Third Master, what exactly happened back then? How exactly did Xie Lianhuan die?"

Wu Sansheng looked extremely helpless. He shook his head and said, "Xiao Hua... let bygones be bygones! If Lianhuan were still around, he certainly wouldn't want you involved again."

"Save those words for Wu Xie!" Xie Yuchen didn't buy into Wu Sansheng's sob story at all. "Let's not ask about the Xisha matter, but you have to tell me, what is the connection between the screen on my master's stage and the pattern on the ground?"

“No contact.” Wu Sansheng said it with absolute certainty, but it was this seemingly innocent answer that made Xie Yuchen feel that he definitely had something in mind.

"There are eight thousand Dippers and tens of millions of stars. Whether there is a connection or not, your opinion doesn't count."

“There are some things that are indeed not up to me, but Xiaohua, you need to know that deep water may not drown people, but it can crush them. You still have the Xie family to protect. Listen to me, don’t take any risks.”

Wu Sansheng's gaze was filled with genuine comfort and concern, but Jie Yuchen showed no sign of backing down.

"But isn't it risking his life to take Wu Xie everywhere? First Dongyi, then Hainan, you're risking his life. Where will you take him next?"

"The reason I did this is because he insisted on teaching himself how to live!" Wu Sansheng said through gritted teeth. "The human eye can't distinguish right from wrong, Xiaohua, no one can!"

"As long as I have eyes, I can tell!"

"But what if you make a mistake!?"

"I can't be wrong!" Xie Yuchen's voice rose slightly. "I've never made a mistake since I was eight years old. You all owe me an explanation."

A hint of reluctance and guilt flashed in Wu Sansheng's eyes. He looked away, gripped the corner of the table, and let out a hard sigh: "Xiao Hua, you have protected the Xie family very well, but the people around you are not clean."

“It was dirty to begin with.” Xie Yuchen said these four words in a very calm tone, as calm as a stagnant pool.

A deathly silence fell over the private room. Xie Yuchen waited for even a single reply from Wu Sansheng, while Wu Sansheng waited for even the slightest concession from Xie Yuchen...

But clearly, neither of them succeeded, because it was a dead end negotiation that was going on indefinitely.

buzz-

The sudden vibration of the phone broke the stalemate, and Xie Yuchen's furrowed brows deepened even more after he took out the phone to check it.

Jie Jiu? Has something happened at the hospital?

"Hey?"

"Patriarch..." A voice that didn't quite sound like Jie Jiu's original voice came through, and there seemed to be a hint of grievance in the tone.

"Jie Jiu?" Jie Yuchen glanced at the call display uncertainly. It was indeed Jie Jiu!

"what happened to you?"

"Master! I've been beaten!" Xie Jiu could no longer hold back and cried out loudly. He covered his face, which was swollen beyond recognition, and glared at the person on the sickbed who was pretending to be a quail.

Hearing Jie Jiu complaining to the person on the phone, Yan Quail Huai shrank further into the hospital bed, muttering under his breath, "I didn't! You were the one who poked my eye with something first..."

"That's a fucking eye drop bottle! I'm putting eye drops in your eyes!"

Xie Yuchen was disturbed by Xie Jiu's sudden outburst of voice, so he moved his phone away a bit. He rubbed his forehead, looking rather tired and helpless. Just as he was about to speak, his words were interrupted again by the voice coming from the phone.

"Well, I found out later, and I apologized properly!" Xie Yuchen thought to himself, "That voice must be the kid I saved."

"But you know too late! Look at what you've done to me, what good is an apology now!" Jie Jiu pointed to his two innocent-looking eyes, which were squeezed into a slit and were filled with tears, revealing his immense grievance and stubbornness.

Meanwhile, Lu Yun, the doctor who was originally in charge of examining Yan Huai, was now standing amidst the mess in the ward with his lips pursed. As he treated the injuries on Jie Jiu's face and body, he thought to himself with a mix of helplessness and amusement: This was truly the first time he had ever seen something like this since he became a doctor.

Xie Yuchen slowly exhaled and hung up the phone. It seemed that he would have to return empty-handed again today. He looked at Wu Sansheng on the other side of the wooden table and said, "I'm sorry to have bothered you today, but I will continue to investigate until the day you confess everything."

Wu Sansheng waved his hand casually, but in his heart he was thinking: Let's get out of here! I can't wait!

"Farewell."

Listening to the fading footsteps, Wu Sansheng sat calmly for a while. When there was really no movement outside the door, he craned his neck to peek outside—Jie Yuchen had really left.

Wu Sansheng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately summoned Da Pan, instructing him, "Panzi, go and investigate who Xiao Hua has recently encountered. Remember, it's just an investigation; don't alert anyone."

When Wu Sansheng heard the little incident in Xie Yuchen's phone call, he had some plans. When he exchanged identities with Xie Lianhuan, the latter mentioned that a person named Yan Huai would be coming to Changsha soon and getting involved with the Nine Gates. As for who it was? He would find out when he met him!

Wu Sansheng really wanted to strangle his teammate for such an unreliable and nonsensical statement, but now he could only cast a wide net and hope to catch a big fish.

"Yes!" Da Pan nodded, not asking any further questions, but...

"So, how do you plan to arrange the game?"

“That kid is capable, keep him with you! You'll be in charge.”

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, Xie Yuchen, who had just left Sujin Teahouse, was sitting in the back seat of his car with his eyes closed, resting. His conversation with Wu Sansheng had not been entirely fruitless; at least he had learned that there were probably many people around him who were also investigating what happened back then, and some had even given themselves away.

What Xie Yuchen couldn't understand was that Wu Sansheng, as the only survivor and acquaintance of that incident, not only started to follow the same path as before, but also dragged Wu Xie into it. This was truly unbelievable.

Could it be that Wu Sansheng's purpose was simply to lure out the person lurking in the shadows? No, it can't be that simple...

"Master, we've arrived!"

Xie Yuchen's thoughts were pulled away from Xie Qi's reminder. He opened his eyes, looked at the hospital standing outside the car window, opened the car door, and got out.

The hospital wards were actually quite soundproof, but when Xie Yuchen approached Yan Huai's ward, he could still hear Xie Jiu's wailing.

With a deep frown, Xie Yuchen thought to herself: I never thought this guy was that noisy before? Could it be that he's really been beaten senseless this time?
