Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Xie Yuchen forced himself to calm down and dialed a number: "I'll contact the hospital."

As Wu Xie drove, he glanced at Xie Yuchen out of the corner of his eye. His reliable and steady childhood friend was now holding his phone with trembling hands. It was a very subtle thing, but it revealed the panic of the person in question.

This is nothing like Xie Yuchen.

Wu Xie couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Xiao Hua, it might not be because of that. Xiao Ge said she didn't have these symptoms when we were at the Bronze Gate. Let's not think the worst. What if she just had a nightmare? Who doesn't have a few nightmares after coming out of the Bronze Gate?"

"I know, but I..." Xie Yuchen turned his face away somewhat embarrassedly, "I can't control myself."

He always has the illusion that he is scheming against others and getting himself into trouble. His physical healing abilities require his emotions as nourishment.

But when it comes to letting go and not caring anymore, he is inexplicably reluctant.

An eerie silence fell over the car.

There's no use saying anything now; the most urgent thing is to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Wu Xie didn't dare to be distracted for a moment, and he practically floored the accelerator, leaving the convoy far behind.

Zhang Qilin, sitting in the back seat, ignored the conversation between the two men. He stared intently at Shen Mingchao's face, with only one thought in his mind: what needed to be stopped was his blind confidence.

What was originally a three-hour journey, they sped along, reducing the time by nearly half.

As soon as the car stopped at the hospital entrance, a large group of doctors and nurses arrived and took Shen Mingchao away on a stretcher.

Wu Xie and the others didn't dare to delay and followed them inside.

The hospital, funded by the Xie family, boasts not only excellent medical standards but also remarkably fast efficiency.

Shen Mingchao's test results came out on the same day.

"He's physically healthy, just a little malnourished?!"

Wu Xie was dumbfounded when he saw the diagnosis report. He knew he shouldn't question the level of the Xie family hospital, but it was blatantly telling him that Shen Mingchao was just an ordinary person. How could he accept that?

Xie Yuchen also said helplessly: "The attending physician just assured me repeatedly that Mingchao is fine and just needs an IV drip."

This result left the two of them at a loss.

Before they could figure out what was going on, something even worse happened. The car the fat man was in arrived at the hospital entrance, bringing White Snake along with it.

Wu Xie suspected that this guy had been on too many smuggling trips and had gotten water in his brain. He pushed open the door, grabbed the guy's collar, and questioned him about what they had done to Shen Mingchao.

"What the hell gives you the right to say that?"

They have absolutely no identity, yet they actually think they're the real deal?

Wu Xie rolled his eyes. He was already annoyed, and now the White Snake's antics made him even more annoyed.

Zhang Qilin sat beside the hospital bed, casting seemingly casual glances at the group.

The fat man noticed the look in her eyes, and he suddenly shuddered. He quickly stepped forward to mediate: "Come on, let's talk outside. Don't disturb the girl's rest."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on him.

Except for Zhang Qiyu who stayed behind to take care of him, everyone else left the ward. In the corridor, Wu Xie had a sullen face, and Xie Yuchen remained silent.

When the fat man saw the two men wearing those same wary expressions again, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

After racking his brains for a moment, the fat man suddenly widened his eyes, pointed at the white snake, and said incredulously, "Don't tell me this guy is one too?!"

The white snake was bewildered: "What are you talking about?"

"Fatty, you've hit the nail on the head."

Wu Xie closed his eyes. Although he was reluctant to admit it, things had come to this point, and he had to make Bai She see the situation clearly and not let her emotions cause trouble. He had noticed that the scar on Bai She's forehead had faded a bit, and some of his guesses were obvious.

The white snake sensed something was amiss and asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Wu Xie stared at the white snake and said softly, "You can see it when you're in contact with her, right?"

"What?"

"Stop playing dumb, you're being too obvious." Since he was going to lay his cards on the table, he might as well lay them on the table even wider. He pointed to himself, then to Xiaohua, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "You're not special, because we can see you too."

This is not a riddle.

The White Snake wasn't that stupid. He held his breath, his brow furrowed so deeply it could crush an ant, and asked again, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

……

A moment later, the door to the ward was pushed open again, and Wu Xie, Xie Yuchen, and Fatty walked in one after another.

There is no White Snake.

This guy is squatting in the corner, feeling depressed.

As soon as the fat man entered the room, he sighed, "You're still so young. Your mental fortitude isn't up to par. Back in the day, our trio..."

Not in the mood to listen to the fat man reminisce about the past, Wu Xie turned his gaze to Zhang Qilan. Since everyone present was one of his own, he decided to speak his mind.

"Hey bro, do you think Shen Mingchao's abilities might be related to her entering the Bronze Gate?"

The bronze door is a mysterious and fantastical thing. If Shen Mingchao is an ordinary person, it is very likely that she was influenced by external factors, which is why she gained this ability.

Zhang Qiyu lowered his eyes and pondered.

Although the Zhang family members were able to enter the Bronze Gate, they did not actually fully understand it.

He couldn't deny Wu Xie's idea, but he also couldn't give a definite answer, so he shook his head.

I'm not sure.

Xie Yuchen interjected at this moment: "I have already sent people to start research."

"but......"

Xie Yuchen sighed: "I'm not afraid of what results they come up with; I'm only afraid that they won't come up with any results."

No result means there is no solution to this problem.

That would be a tricky situation.

The ward was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Until a teasing male voice came in from outside the door.

"Hey~ why are you all looking so gloomy? Didn't you guys bring the mute guy out safely? I've been waiting with bated breath for your welcome banquet."

Hearing the noise, everyone quickly looked towards the door.

Black Bear leaned against the doorframe, a roguish smile playing on his lips, and said, "What big trouble have you run into? Tell me, Black Bear. What if I have a solution? I'll give you a friendly price."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Wu Xie sighed silently, "Don't even mention a friendly price; no price might be effective for this."

"Is it that tricky?"

Hei Xiazi was genuinely interested in something that even Zhang Qilan, Wu Xie, and Xie Yuchen couldn't solve.

Just as he was about to press further, a slight noise came from inside the room.
