Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 628

"Baby!"

Unexpectedly, Professor Xu got angry, he called out loudly, and was about to slap him back with his hands raised, but I quickly stopped him.

Don't blame the boy, I deserve it.

Professor Xu is a kind-hearted person. He said this for me because he was worried that I would blame myself too much, but I don't know how to flatter him, so I can't blame him.

"What's going on?"

Hou Chengcheng slapped her chopsticks on the table suddenly, and after we all looked over, she slowly stood up and glanced at us sharply.

"Father said that 701 is the country's most trusted sword to protect the country. I thought this department was different. Everyone advances and retreats together, with a tacit understanding. When encountering danger, they can trust their backs to each other. Now it seems that it is me. Do you think highly of you?"

Her voice was not heavy and her tone was very flat, but she hit us like a thunderbolt.

I don't know what it feels like, a little bit ashamed and a little bit indignant.

At first, I think she was right, 701 should be the most cohesive department.Even though there will inevitably be some small friction among us, it is difficult to achieve [-]% trust every time we go out on a mission, because some uncertain news will start to doubt others, which is really wrong.

Also, just like today, what each of us wants to maintain is the original intention of defending national treasures, but there seems to be factions in the small 701.

Professor Xu's boy is one, and Lao Yan and I are one, but Kumbu and Ms. Qiu are relatively neutral.

So I'm a little ashamed.

But at the same time, I am also indignant, I admire Hou Chengcheng's ability at such a young age, but this does not mean that she can dictate to us.

701 is a home for me, so why not when the house is always noisy?

Do you have to be polite?

"Liu Chang'an, are you unconvinced?" Hou Chengcheng asked with a smile.

She looked like she was discussing the weather with me today, and for a moment I didn't know how to reply, but she didn't ask me to reply, and she connected directly after speaking.

"It doesn't help if you are not convinced." She said flatly: "This is your biggest problem, you have to admit it."

No one else spoke, even Professor Xu was thoughtful.

Hou Chengcheng's face changed quickly, and her tone softened, saying that she didn't want to put herself on the opposite side of us, she just hoped that 701 could support the mission it represented.

"Okay, okay, it's just a trivial matter." Professor Xu acted as a peacemaker.

He is the oldest in our place, no matter what we will not make trouble in front of him, one or two sat back, and with the boy's apology, this matter is over.

In fact, I don't think the boy needs to apologize, the fault is indeed me.

It's just that I don't quite understand why my temper is so violent?

The boss's death seemed to trigger my nerves. When I heard the news, my heart was heavy, so I burst out suddenly when I heard Professor Xu's words.

I desperately suppressed my irritability and asked them how did the boss die?

Why do you say he is my scapegoat?
Although Yazai apologized, it is obvious that he doesn't want to talk to me very much now, so this time Hou Chengcheng explained the specific situation to me.

Hou Chengcheng's tone was a little more solemn: "Do you still remember what happened before you fell into a coma?"

I nodded. I fell into a hallucination. When I woke up, I was on the stairs, and Lao Yan and the others rushed over together.

Hou Chengcheng hummed, saying that after I fell into a coma, Lao Yan discovered something was wrong, and after he asked Yazai to take me back to the room to take care of me, he began to track him down, and at the same time contacted the 701 intelligence department.Everyone was sent out, leaving only Professor Xu waiting downstairs.

But when they came back, they found Professor Xu sitting at the door, with a dead body lying in front of him.

"Fortunately, it was midnight at that time, and we were able to deal with the aftermath in time before the matter fermented, otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous!" Hou Chengcheng said in fear.

I understand that if someone was killed just after we set off, this person is still an ordinary person, and I am afraid that the higher authorities will call us back immediately.

Hou Chengcheng sighed slightly, and said that the boss died strangely, he was poisoned with the same poison as me, but those people should have done it intentionally, so he died of the poison very quickly.

According to Professor Xu, the boss was exactly the same as me at that time, walking out like sleepwalking.

Professor Xu thought he was sleepwalking at first, so he just followed him in case he had an accident, but he fell down as soon as he reached the door.

"I thought he had fallen asleep again, so I went up to help him, but..." Professor Xu's expression was a little numb, and it was obvious that he still hadn't recovered.

Seeing him like this makes me even more uncomfortable. He came to persuade me before he calmed down. I really shouldn't be so rude. The boy taught me the right thing.

"Same sleepwalking, same poison, no wonder..." I smiled wryly.

Originally, I wanted to see the boss's body, but Lao Yan had already disposed of it for fear of causing a commotion, and as for his identity, he was still trying to confuse the neighbors around him.

Fortunately, the boss usually doesn't communicate with others very much except soliciting customers, so he can temporarily suppress it for a few days.

"What are we going to do next?" I asked anxiously.

Lao Yan asked us to wait for news from the 701 Intelligence Division, but why should we wait?
Ms. Qiu gave me a sideways look, and said no, what else do you want to do? Didn't you just say that your body is abnormal?

After she finished speaking, she didn't allow me to refute, she just grabbed my collar and dragged me to go upstairs to rest.

Although I was sleepy, the news one after another made my head numb, and I didn't want to go to sleep at all, so I struggled and shouted, but no one answered me.

I was dragged all the way back to the room, Miss Qiu threw me on the bed, just as I was about to get up, she put her foot on my lap as soon as I lifted it.

"You can't even break free from me, Chang'an, don't be brave." After she finished speaking, she dragged a chair and sat at the end of the bed, telling me to rest quickly, saying that no one can figure out what the poison is now, so I'd better be able to Rest is rest.

I opened my mouth to say something, but finally closed it.

Ms. Qiu is no better than anyone else. It is useless for me to say what she has confirmed, so I can only listen to her arrangement.But the strange thing is that after lying on the bed, I felt sleepy instantly, and I didn't even have the strength to fight with her.

I was so drowsy for the next two days, and they would wake me up to eat some food when it was time to eat, and then they would find someone to accompany me and let me sleep.

On the third day, I discovered one thing in horror, that is, if no one called me, I would not be able to wake up at all...

"Chang'an, go to bed after eating." Professor Xu's tone seemed to be coaxing the child. I rubbed my eyes in embarrassment, finished the porridge in the bowl with great effort, and fell asleep before leaving the table.

After three days of being so muddled, Lao Yan finally came back that night.

Since he left that day, he hasn't come back. I even think he may have returned to Yanjing early because he couldn't wait for the response from the 701 intelligence department.

When he came back, I was eating at the table. I dozed off while eating, and my head would come into intimate contact with the bowl from time to time, but even this couldn’t wake me up. But when Old Smoke came in, I woke up instantly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lao Yan's clothes seemed to be drenched in water and then dried in the sun, his face was blue and white, his eyes were even darker, and his hair was greasy like a homeless man on the street.

As soon as he came in, he collapsed directly on the ground, and he didn't recover for a long time.

I stood up staggeringly and wanted to help him, but I couldn't stand still at all, so I sat down on the ground.

In an instant, Yazai rushed forward to support Lao Yan, helped him to sit by the table, and poured him a glass of water.

Lao Yan couldn't wait any longer, he picked up the kettle and took a few swigs, and stared at me with bloodshot eyes after recovering.

"Chang'an, how did you get the Xuan Tianzhu?"

His voice was hoarse and questioning.

My mind was in a daze, I only heard his question, but I couldn't understand what it meant, so I just let out an ah.

Snapped!
Lao Yan slapped me on the head, making a loud noise, and finally knocked some of my drowsiness away.

"Say, how on earth did you get the Xuan Tianzhu?" He asked eagerly.

I finally came to my senses, and then I realized that no one except me and Yazai knew that Miss Si had helped me get the Xuan Tianzhu.

"I..." I was a little hesitant, I didn't know what to say, after all, Hou Chengcheng was here, and I didn't know what she was like.

Lao Yan snorted coldly: "Is Fourth Miss helping you?"

"How do you know?" I blurted out.

Lao Yan stared at me sharply, and rushed forward with the urge to kill me. He pinched my neck with both hands, and I felt breathless.

I was limp all over, and I couldn't resist at all. The others must have been frightened by Lao Yan, and they didn't rush over to tear Lao Yan away until I showed symptoms of suffocation.

Fortunately, Lao Yan also looked tired, and he couldn't hold back so many of them, so he let me go quickly.

Cough!

I fell down on the chair and coughed violently. I was completely awake now, the most sober I've been in a few days.

"Old Yan, why are you crazy? That's Chang'an, your precious apprentice!" Professor Xu shouted angrily.

Lao Yan snorted coldly: "Baby apprentice? I want to clean up the door, can't I?"

"Old Yan, you..." I reacted, my eyes turned red.

Even though I shouldn't hide it from him, it's not a big deal, right? As for killing me?

Lao Yan was furious. If it wasn't for Professor Xu and the others holding him down, he would probably come up and pinch me again. I was so scared that I hurriedly dragged the chair back for a certain distance.

He just looked at me like this, and suddenly broke down and burst into tears.

I was at a loss. It should be said that everyone was at a loss. They were all stunned for a moment, not knowing what happened.
