Chapter 605 Sand Sea 31

Wu Xie is sick!

After meeting Li Cu that day, Wu Xie had nightmares all night, and the next day he fell ill and couldn't get out of bed.

He had a persistent high fever, was delirious, and kept talking nonsense.

What are the Nine Gates, the Wang family, Li Cu, the Nine-Headed Cypress, Li Cu, Wang Zanghai's Memories, Li Cu, Li Cu, Li Cu...

The archaeological team's doctor conducted a thorough examination but was unable to find the cause of his illness. Two injections of antipyretics were also ineffective.

Zhang Qiling, Fatty, and the others were in a panic, trying to get the person to the hospital for treatment.

However, Gutongjing is located deep in the desert, and is quite a distance from the nearest hospital.

Wu Xie's condition at this moment is really not optimistic. If he moves rashly, it may worsen his condition and the consequences will be unimaginable.

The fat man spat on the ground and said angrily, "It must be that Li Chu's doing! Tianzhen was perfectly healthy before seeing him, but suddenly started having a fever after seeing him. Who would believe there's nothing fishy going on?"

Fatty, Wu Xie, and Zhang Qiling are a legendary trio who have risked their lives together.

Now that Wu Xie is seriously ill, his emotions explode instantly.

Remembering that Wu Xie had always been in good health, Wu Xie immediately disregarded all other considerations and turned his attention directly to Li Chu.

Zhang Qiling's eyebrows twitched slightly as he looked at Wu Xie, whose face was burning red on the bed. He tightened his grip on Wu Xie's hands, his eyes darkening, and turned to leave.

Seeing that his expression was off, Black Bear quickly blocked his way: "Hey! Where are you going?"

Zhang Qiling frowned and told the truth: "Go find Li Cu."

Hei Xiazi said helplessly, "What Fatty said was just his speculation. We were all there that day. Li Chu just shook hands with Wu Xie and left without even exchanging a few words. If he really did something, wouldn't all of us have noticed?"

Zhang Qiling pondered for a moment, recalling the scene from that day, and shook his head, saying, "He smelled of medicine that day, which was very strange."

“So what does that prove? Didn’t we smell it too? If there’s really something wrong with that medicinal fragrance, why are we alright? Why are Li Chu and the people around him also alright? I know you’re worried about Wu Xie, but you can’t just jump to conclusions.” Hei Xiazi advised.

Xie Yuchen sighed and added, "Our identities are different now than before. We must think carefully before we act. No one can act rashly without solid evidence. You should use this energy to think more about what Wu Xie should do now."

There were some things that Xie Yuchen didn't say explicitly, but everyone understood.

Regardless of whether Li Chu caused Wu Xie's condition, they absolutely cannot act impulsively now.

Li Cu's status is now completely different from before. He is no longer the rebellious high school student he once was, and he is always protected by a group of heavily armed soldiers.

If any of them dare to make a move, they probably won't even be able to touch the hem of Li Chu's clothes before being shot dead on the spot.

Moreover, in Xie Yuchen's opinion, the fat man's guess was unreasonable.

Li Cu was able to achieve such success in just three years, and the hardships he endured are self-evident. How could he possibly do something that would ruin his future?

Even if Li Chu still harbors resentment about what happened back then and wants to take action against Wu Xie, he wouldn't be so foolish as to act so blatantly.

If they just let slip a word, plenty of people will help them so they can never leave this place again.

On the contrary, Wu Xie was originally kind-hearted. He ended up in this situation entirely because he was tricked by Wu Sansheng and others. Later, he absorbed Wang Zanghai's memories, which changed his personality.

Now, after two years of government reform, even his personality is completely different from before, let alone Wu Xie.

Therefore, it is very likely that Wu Xie fell ill because he saw Li Cu that day, which reminded him of the past and made him feel guilty towards Li Cu.

Wu Xie had indeed mentioned Li Cu and the seventeen people who failed to escape to them before, his words filled with regret, saying that he shouldn't have implicated the innocent.

Therefore, in Xie Yuchen's view, Wu Xie's current illness is a mental illness caused by guilt.

Not only Xie Yuchen thought so, but Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan also thought so. They felt that they were the ones who had harmed Wu Xie. None of them dared to enter the ward to visit him. They could only squat outside and blame themselves.

The fat man gritted his teeth.

Although he felt that his guess was unreasonable, he just felt that Li Chu had done something wrong.

And Li Chu was indeed the one with the strongest motive.

But just as Hei Xiazi and Xie Yuchen said, after Li Cu met Wu Xie on the day he arrived, the two sides never had any contact again. And since they and Wu Xie spent all their time together, if Li Cu really made a move, it was impossible for so many of them not to have noticed.

Is he really overthinking things?

Is the naive illness really unrelated to Li Chu?

Is it because Tianzhen feels guilty about his past that he fell ill?

So, is Wu Xie's illness related to Li Cu?

That's for sure... definitely.

Wu Xie initially confessed to his crime with a good attitude, actively turned over his illegal gains and paid the fine. In addition, his parents went out of their way to seek his forgiveness. In the end, he was sentenced to twenty-five years.

Li Chu was very dissatisfied with this result.

Wu Xie schemed against the innocent original owner of this body because of the messy affairs between the Nine Gates and the Wang family, causing the original owner so much suffering. Now Wu Xie only has to serve a few years in prison, which is really unfair.

However, according to the law, the maximum term of imprisonment is no more than 15 years, and the maximum term of imprisonment for multiple crimes is 25 years.

In other words, excluding the death penalty and life imprisonment, twenty-five years is the longest sentence allowed by law.

In addition, Wu Xie has behaved well in Gutongjing over the past two years, and the prison has recommended that his sentence be reduced.

Li Cu was already dissatisfied with Wu Xie's sentence, and upon hearing this news, he couldn't hold back any longer.

When the archaeological team requested technical support, they applied to come here under the pretext of experimenting with new technologies.

The archaeological team knew about the feud between him and Wu Xie, but no one expected Li Cu to be so bold as to take action in broad daylight and in full view of everyone.

Even the fat man who suspected him was only making a reasonable deduction from Wu Xie's perspective. After being persuaded by Xie Yuchen, he gave up the idea.
