625 Friend’s Betrayal

Qin Xi was invited to the main hall of the w.a.n.g family. Elder w.a.n.g sat at the head of the table while Qin Xi sat next to him on the right. This seat represented the most respected guest of the w.a.n.g family.

“Elder w.a.n.g, you are in good spirits. You’ll recover after taking the medicine I prescribed him for a week.” Qin Xi took Elder w.a.n.g’s pulse again. After confirming that he was fine, the entire w.a.n.g family heaved a sigh of relief.

Hearing Qin Xi’s diagnosis, Elder w.a.n.g looked at the w.a.n.g family. “You should be relieved this time, right? Alright, everyone, leave. I have something to discuss with Divine Doctor Qin in private.”

The w.a.n.g family left one after another. Before Bai Qinzhi left, she took a deep look at Qin Xi with ruthlessness in her eyes.

Only Elder w.a.n.g and Qin Xi were left in the main hall. Qin Xi picked up the tea and took a sip. When she felt the fragrance of the tea spreading in her mouth, she looked up at the old man at the head of the table.

She smiled and said, “If I’m not wrong, you want me to treat the entire archeological team, right?”

Qin Xi’s voice was calm and steady, which did not match her actual age. Instead, she sounded mature.

“I really can’t hide anything from Divine Doctor Qin. Yes, I want to ask you for help.”

When Elder w.a.n.g talked about his archeological team, he felt melancholic. His wrinkled face was filled with sadness. “I was careless this time. I fell into the trap and harmed 17 people in the team. These people risked their lives to go with me. I really can’t bear to see them suffer.”

Qin Xi frowned. “Does that mean you actually knew that you were poisoned by Gu worm?”

When Elder w.a.n.g mentioned this, he still had lingering fears.

“Sigh, to be honest, I knew it when I was poisoned, so I cut my arm with a small knife. I could only use pain to stay away. However, the poisonous powder I inhaled was too much. In the end, I couldn’t take it anymore and fell to the ground.

“However, before I was completely unconscious, I saw a blurry figure pouring out a few small worms from a small bottle. After that, I don’t know what happened.”

“After I woke up, I realized that I had been poisoned by a Gu worm. I always thought that the Gu worm existed in legends. I didn’t expect that not only did it really exist, but I would also experience it myself.”

Qin Xi guessed, “Elder w.a.n.g, why do you think this person is targeting you? Is it related to this archeological expedition?”

Elder w.a.n.g narrowed his eyes as if he was recalling the scene back then. After a while, he nodded and shook his head with a bitter smile.

“I’m not sure. That ancient tomb is a little strange, but I can’t put a finger on it. However, there’s actually nothing to explore there. We were tricked to go to that place.”

Seeing that he seemed to be dispirited, Qin Xi finally understood what was going on. “Judging from your expression, you should know who wants to harm you.”

“There is an old friend I’ve known for decades. He was once a professor at the Archaeology Inst.i.tute like me. However, for some reason, he changed his career. Now, he’s just an ordinary professor.”

Elder w.a.n.g paused for a moment and continued, “Half a month ago, he suddenly came to look for me and asked me to go to the tomb with him.”

Qin Xi could understand his feelings. After all, they had known each other for decades. No one could accept such a betrayal.
