Chapter 603
The moment Wu Xie stepped out of the forest, he couldn't help but stop and looked back at the silent forest behind him with its mouth opened, wanting to swallow him and Fatty Wang.
"Young Master San, we really can't stay here for long! Let's get out of here! I think the fat man's injuries are very serious. We can't delay any longer. Not only are his wounds showing signs of inflammation, but I'm afraid his physical condition is very bad due to excessive blood loss and running all night. He might have already..."
Xie San didn't say it too directly, but Wu Xie knew exactly what he meant.
"Okay, let's go!" Wu Xie said without hesitation.
He walked quickly to Fatty Wang and held Fatty Wang tightly with one hand, as if he was afraid that if he let go, Fatty Wang would fly away like a kite with a broken string.
When Xie San and others saw Wu Xie and Fatty Wang coming out, they immediately took action and arranged for someone to quickly send Fatty Wang to the nearest hospital for treatment.
Wu Xie stayed in the village with Xie San.
"Xie San, lend me your phone." Wu Xie suddenly said.
Although Xie San was a little confused, he handed his cell phone to Wu Xie without hesitation.
After Wu Xie took the phone, he turned and walked into the room, closing the door behind him. He also specifically warned, "Don't let anyone get close to my room."
After Wu Xie entered the room, he first took out the thing Xie San had secretly slipped into his pocket when no one was paying attention. Wu Xie saw clearly that it was a stone, which seemed to be the same thing Xiao Hua would bump into at the door every time she came to talk to them.
As Wu Xie expected, after he threw the stone on the ground, he roared loudly in the room, threw things, and made a huge noise, but Xie San who was guarding the door outside did not react at all.
A big stone in Wu Xie's heart finally fell to the ground. He took a deep breath and then dialed Xie Yuchen's number.
"Xiaohua, the people you sent to rescue us have arrived, but the fat guy..." Wu Xie's voice was a little low, as if he had something to hide.
Xie Yuchen on the other end of the phone seemed to have anticipated this situation. He said slowly, "Fatty is injured, and he's seriously injured, right?"
Wu Xie couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect Xie Yuchen to be so smart. He could even guess the fat man's injury situation almost exactly.
"How do you know?" Wu Xie asked in surprise.
Xie Yuchen chuckled and explained, "Wu Xie, if you just use your rusty brain a little, you should be able to figure it out. Fatty Wang came from their group, but because he was with you, he betrayed them. How do you think they would treat a traitor?"
Wu Xie suddenly realized, he slapped his head in regret, secretly blaming himself for not thinking of this.
Meanwhile, Xie Yuchen was rapidly reviewing a mountain of official documents while also having to deal with Wu Xie's various questions. He was already in a bad mood, and Wu Xie's "nonsense" only made him even more irritated.
However, Xie Yuchen still tried his best to control his emotions and said to Wu Xie patiently, "Okay, don't think too much for now. Now that you are safe, find a place to rest. I will come to find you after I finish my work here."
Wu Xie was suddenly embarrassed and at a loss for words, but he still forced himself to continue, "Xiaohua, I suspect this forest where they brought Fatty Wang and I is very likely their lair!"
After Xie Yuchen heard what Wu Xie said, he paused while correcting documents and said with a serious expression, "Wu Xie, are you sure?"
Wu Xie nodded confidently, "Yes! I'm sure. After all, no one would have guessed that someone would set up their headquarters in an ancient tomb!"
"No wonder, we sent so many people and searched so many places but couldn't find any clues about their headquarters. It turns out they are hiding in the tomb!"
Xie Yuchen could never have imagined that these people would be so ingenious as to hide themselves in an ancient tomb. This was indeed not a hiding place that ordinary people could think of.
"Xiaohua, how should we deal with this next?" Wu Xie looked worried and asked Xie Yuchen on the other end of the phone softly.
Xie Yuchen was silent for a moment, then replied decisively, "Hold your troops still!"
"Hold on?" Wu Xie was somewhat surprised by this decision and asked, "Why?"
Xie Yuchen explained, "You were able to escape successfully because of internal chaos, but we don't know the specific reason yet. Also, Fatty Wang is still in the hospital, and we can't be sure if he will encounter any accidents during the transfer..."
Wu Xie already understood Xie Yuchen's intentions before he finished. He sighed helplessly and said slowly, "I understand. I'll wait here for you." Wu Xie relaxed like a deflated ball, as if he had let down his guard.
Xie Yuchen's heart softened upon seeing this, but he steeled himself and continued, "Wu Xie, our original plan was that since they've been sitting on their hands, we might as well take the initiative. Also, I always feel like they've been secretly watching you. I wonder if they've taken a fancy to something about you."
Wu Xie felt a pang of bitterness in his heart after hearing Xiao Hua's words. He slowly lay back on the bed in the room, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling as if they had lost focus, muttering to himself, "Yeah, what on earth are they planning?"
Recalling the scene of escaping with Fatty, Wu Xie couldn't help laughing at himself, "It seems that I was too arrogant. Fatty and I had just walked a short distance when they found us easily." The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.
"Fatty was captured by them, and it's all because of me..." Wu Xie's voice was low and hoarse, as if every word carried a heavy weight, "He was captured to protect me, I absolutely can't give up on him like this!" He clenched his fists tightly, and the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged, showing his inner anxiety and determination.
Wu Xie sat up suddenly, his originally confused eyes became extremely solemn. He stared ahead, as if trying to see something through the wall. "I followed them all the way here, but until chaos broke out among them, I didn't see them come to interrogate me." He frowned, as if pondering the reason.
"Everything they do seems to be contrary to common sense..." Wu Xie murmured, and all the strange phenomena he encountered along the way kept flashing through his mind.
