Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

[Li Han]

These two words were like a bolt from the blue.

Shen Mingchao's mind exploded with a "boom," and long-sealed memories were released at this moment, rushing into his mind like shards of glass.

Unable to bear it any longer, she collapsed to her knees, bumping right into Li Chu, who was slumped on the ground.

She grabbed Li Cu's clothes, wanting to say something, but what came out of her mouth was a series of broken sobs.

Even when he managed to utter the words, they trembled uncontrollably.

"I...don't we know each other before?"

Shen Mingchao didn't receive a reply from Li Cu. In that instant, it felt as if someone was chiseling at her skull. The pain exceeded her threshold, and everything went black before her eyes. She knew nothing more.

Everyone was taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

Zhang Qiyu reacted the fastest, squatting down to help Shen Mingchao, who had already fainted and fallen to the ground, up and grabbing his wrist to take his pulse.

"Her nose is bleeding!" Su Wan exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they quickly gathered around. They saw two thin red lines slowly trickling down from the girl's nostrils.

"Brother, what happened to Mingchao?" Wu Xie asked anxiously, his voice trembling.

Zhang Qilin frowned, his eyes showing an unusual seriousness, and said, "The pulse is chaotic and disordered."

This is just the surface; the real problem is that he can't diagnose the underlying cause of the illness.

The fact that even the young man's expression changed made Wu Xie immediately realize the seriousness of the situation.

"Call 120 immediately and get her to the hospital!" Yang Hao urged. He hadn't expected that the person who was laughing and joking just a moment ago would become so weak the next. Reason told him that this girl might be suffering from some serious illness.

Time waits for no one, especially in this life-or-death situation, every second is incredibly precious.

Wu Xie knew this principle, of course. Seeing Shen Mingchao like this pained him more than anyone else, but panicking was useless. Past experience told him that the more difficult the situation, the more he needed to stay calm.

Wu Xie immediately decided, "Okay! I'll fight!"

He then turned to Yang Hao and said, "Contact Huo Daofu and have him come over immediately. Tell him that something has happened in the Ming Dynasty."

After the ancient city of Tongjing, Huo Daofu took a liking to Yang Hao and took him away, training him to become his assistant. Their relationship was based on mutual benefit, and they never truly became master and disciple; they could only be described as resembling master and disciple in form.

There is an inexplicable relationship between the two, and it is most appropriate for him to make contact.

Yang Hao nodded and immediately took out his phone to make a call.

The clinic where Hordorf worked wasn't far away. He was puzzled when he received Yang Hao's call, but after listening to a few words, his expression changed and he rushed out.

He had just arrived at the hospital gate when the piercing sound of an ambulance followed closely behind. Seeing Shen Mingchao lying lifeless on the stretcher, he couldn't help but step forward and question him.

"What's going on?"

Just two days ago he was full of energy, and after learning he didn't need to take Chinese medicine anymore, he kept cheering, saying he'd been craving spicy food for ages and was going to have a big hot pot meal to make up for it. How did he end up needing an ambulance after only two days?

As soon as Wu Xie saw him, he said, "You've come at the right time. I'll drive you; you can come with me. We don't know anything about medicine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qilin got into the ambulance, which then started and drove away.

Hordorf frowned. The moment the hood fell, he'd seen the blood on Shen Mingchao's face, and a bad feeling crept into his mind: "What happened? Did you lay a hand on her?"

"How could that be!" Wu Xie glared at Huo Daofu and pushed him into the car. "Stop talking nonsense. Get in the car first. We'll talk about what happened on the way. I'm more interested in what happened to the Ming Dynasty than you are in it."

The three from the Aluminum Triangle originally wanted to go, but Wu Xie refused, telling them to stay home with Fatty and wait for news. However, the kids had grown up and become wild; they weren't afraid of him at all, and his intimidation had no effect on them.

Li Cu, in particular, who was the most rebellious, had learned his bad behavior from back then perfectly. He held up his phone with a blank expression and said that if they were not allowed to get on the bus, they would take a taxi and follow behind them.

Wu Xie's face darkened. After the Gutongjing plan, he knew he had let Li Chu down.

When it comes to raising children, he's definitely not as good as Black Glasses.

Every child he raised went astray. After all, he was truly insane back then, focused solely on his plans and treating no one, including himself, as human. So, the consequence of doing so many immoral things was that the children turned evil and became extremely ungrateful to him.

But he had no way to solve it.

Wu Xie sighed, gave in, and told them, "If you're going, hurry up and get in the car, don't dawdle."

While in the car, he told the three about Shen Mingchao's abilities, and also wanted to know what Li Han, whom Li Cu had mentioned, was all about. The words Shen Mingchao said before he fell unconscious were quite intriguing.

[Have we met before?]

Wu Xie's brain was working frantically.

From this one sentence alone, it can be judged that Li Cu was not talking nonsense. Shen Mingchao did react to Li Cu, and the reaction was very strong. He tentatively guessed that Shen Mingchao had amnesia.

Like pulling a thread from a mystery, Shen Mingchao's extremely mysterious background is finally about to be revealed.

Wu Xie first explained the situation that had occurred earlier to Huo Daofu in a few words.

He then told the three people about Shen Mingchao's abilities.

Almost no one believed such a thing, and the three people squeezed into the back row, all casting questioning glances at them.

Li Chu was furious and immediately started yelling, "Wu Xie, are you sick in the head? What time is it? How can you still be making jokes like this? You pervert, I despise you!"

Wu Xie was furious. His fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly. He mentally told himself not to argue with a kid, and without turning around, he threw out a harsh remark: "Believe it or not!"

If they weren't in a rush, Wu Xie would have stopped halfway, kicked the disrespectful Li Chu out of the car, and made him take a taxi, since it wasn't his money.

Su Wan blushed and asked again, "Is this really true? You're not trying to fool us again, are you?"

Every single one of the Nine Gates is a hornet's nest; it's easy to fall into a trap if you're not careful. Su Wan even developed PTSD.

Wu Xie still had a dark expression.

What does "again" mean?

Fortunately, Su Wan's tone was friendly, so he calmly added, "Go ask your master and you'll know if it's true or not."

"Oh." Su Wan nodded obediently, thinking to himself, "Isn't my master your master? Why do you act like we're not even acquainted?"

The car had been quiet for a short while when a sudden and resolute "I believe" came from the back seat.

It's Yang Hao.

He believed it. Because the other person on the bus, Hodor, did not refute it. This man was opportunistic and not a good person, but he had never lied to him and his skills were genuine.

"Alright!" Wu Xie shouted, drawing the attention of the three of them. "Regardless of what you think, let's put this aside for now. I'm more curious about something else."

He glanced at Li Chu sitting in the middle through the rearview mirror and slowly asked, "Who is Li Han?"
