Chapter 325 Cooperate with me in acting (1)

"bet?"

The old man was surprised, and looked at Gu Qingning with some doubts in his eyes.

"Bet what?"

Gu Qingning pressed the book on the table with her fingertips, her brows were filled with dazzling confidence, "Just bet on whether the Archie you're talking about has lied, whether he has betrayed everyone in Yuncang Mountain."

Seeing her determined appearance, the old man's firm heart began to shake, and his expression became serious.

He had watched the child Archie grow up, and it was impossible for him to do anything harmful to Yuncang Mountain. He couldn't trust a little girl from outside and doubt Archie.

Yes, he had to trust Archie.

He agreed straight away, "Just bet, if you lose, all of you have to leave Yuncang Mountain, and you have to clarify with the people outside that we don't have any treasure keys here at all, and give us a peaceful life."

Gu Qingning pulled her lips, and took away the wise light in her eyes.

"Okay, but I have to ask you to play a play with me later."

The old man looked at her suspiciously, "What play?"

Gu Qingning stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, "When he comes later, you..."

Her voice was too low for Steven to hear, and wanted to get closer to hear her.

As soon as he stepped forward, he was pulled back by a strong force.

"Stay in peace, or go back."

The cold and ruthless voice hit his ear, shaking his head.

Steven broke free from the restraint on the back collar, and gave Fu Juncheng an angry look.

Can't you be more polite and polite to him?

Look at his savage manner, like a savage.

After a while.

Yun Zheng brought the man here, and he was slightly surprised to see Steven was there.

Standing beside him, Archie looked at Fu Juncheng and his party, lowering his eyelids calmly.

He turned to look at the village chief with a worried expression on his face, "Village chief, are you okay?"

however.

The old man didn't respond to him as before, his face darkened, and he looked at him carefully.

Archie was at a loss, and asked innocently, "Village Chief, what happened, why are you looking at me like that?"

The old man asked with a stern face, "Archie, you said you overheard those people outside coming for the sacred objects enshrined in our ancestral hall when you were hunting?"

Archie's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded his head pretending to be calm.

A little entanglement flashed in the eyes of the old man, his heart was hardened, and he said according to Gu Qingning's words, "Ah Qi, I will give you one last chance, do you want to tell the truth yourself, or me?"

"Village Chief, what do you mean by that?" Archie's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Gu Qingning and his party.

"Did they say something to you, village chief, you would rather trust outsiders than me?"

As he spoke, his voice became agitated, with a hint of anger.

Gu Qingning glanced at him, with a careless smile on the corner of his lips, "People outside just heard that you have a treasure key here, but they don't know what the treasure key is, but you said that the treasure key is a sacred object enshrined in your ancestral hall, If you don’t want to talk about it, who did you hear the news from?”

Most of the palm-sized face was covered by the mask, only a pair of cold eyes were exposed, the eyes were quite calm, but they made people breathless.

Archie's back felt cold, and he hurriedly looked away, "I said that I just heard about it by accident while hunting. I don't know who the other party is."

Not long after he finished speaking, a woman's anxious voice came from outside.

"It's not good, something happened, village chief, something serious happened..."

The door of the wooden house was open, and the woman rushed in in a panic.

Before she could see the people in the room clearly, she began to cry.

"Village chief, it's not good, something happened to Archie's wife, and someone wiped her neck, and she's out of breath."

The village chief was shocked, and before he could ask, Archie on the side became restless.

He rushed in front of the woman, grabbed her arm, and asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law Zhang, what are you talking about, what happened to my wife?"

Only then did the woman see that Archie was also here, and urged, "Archie, why are you still here? Why don't you go home and have a look, your wife is losing her temper."

His wife is gone?
Archie turned pale, let go of the woman's arm, and his stout figure staggered.

How could this happen? When he came out just now, his wife was fine. It's only been a while, why did something happen?

"It's you, right?"

His scarlet eyes looked at Gu Qingning and the others, his eyes were full of hatred, "You killed my wife, didn't you?"

Steven sneered, and gave him a cold look, "Joke, we are all here, why send someone to kill your wife?"

Immersed in the pain of losing his wife, Archie didn't care about anything else, and roared hysterically, "It must be you, here are all your people, who else but you?"

Gu Qingning raised his eyebrows, and said in a low and cold voice with a hint of sarcasm, "We saved the poisoned villagers, do you think it is necessary for us to harm your wife?"

Archie froze for a moment, the flickering madness froze in his eyes.

Could it not be them, the man in black?

The woman standing aside chimed in, "Archie, it wasn't for them. If it wasn't for their people to help, your son would almost be lost."

Hearing the word "son", Archie came to his senses and asked anxiously, "Then how is my son doing now?"

The woman said, "Fortunately, their people came to help. Your son is fine and has been sent to Seventh Uncle."

Archie breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to support his heavy head, and couldn't hide the look of grief between his brows.

The cold voice came again, "Aren't you telling the truth?"

Archie put down his hand and looked at Gu Qingning dully.

"I……"

Seeing the looseness on his face, Gu Qingning went on to add to the flames, "You don't want to avenge your wife?"

"Or, do you want your son to be like your wife..."

Archie cut her off with a low growl, "No."

His legs gave way, and he staggered to his knees, with a look of remorse on his face.

"I am obsessed with ghosts. I made up the news that the treasure key is a sacred object in the ancestral hall. I also did it to poison the villagers."

After the words came out, the cabin fell into silence.

Gu Qingning's eyes flickered slightly, some did not expect that the poisoning of the villagers was related to him.

The old man looked at him in disbelief, his face livid with anger.

"What did you say?"

He quickened his pace and walked up to Archie, reached out and grabbed his collar, and asked angrily, "Why did you do this?"

He and the villagers believed in him so much, how could he do such a heartless thing.

Archie looked up at him, laughed mockingly, his eyes were full of hatred for him, "It's not all because of you."

The old man froze, and the hand holding his collar froze.

The woman frowned, "Archie, what do you mean by that, the village chief treats you well, how can you say such a thing, you were not like this before."

"Ah."

Archie sneered, and looked at her with dark eyes, "What was it like before, a good old man at your disposal?"
