The Lost Tomb : Sea Of Sands

Chapter 48: Xie Yuchen

He followed Liang Wan all the way to a place called Wu Shanju, where they found that the door was locked. This quaint place looked like a seal shop that had been closed for business. He sighed and turned to leave, only to see Liang Wan pound on the door a few times.

There was hardly any movement after her ruckus, but Li Cu still heard a voice come through the thick, heavy door panel: "Who is it?"

Then, the door panel was opened and a man's head poked out. Li Cu found that there were a lot of people in the room behind him.

"Who are you?" The man asked.

Liang Wan took out the "broken hand" from Li Cu's backpack and handed it over: "Give it to your boss. I don't care who, as long as he's in charge. Let him have a look at this. I'll be drinking tea nearby, so come find me if you're interested." She turned her head and left.

Li Cu faithfully followed her into a nearby teahouse, but before he could ask any questions, she turned around and asked him, "Was I super awesome just now?"

"Awesome, so awesome! Like a femme fatale."

When Liang Wan raised her head and smiled, Li Cu found that her eyes were a little red.

He didn't dare speak for a moment as he thought to himself, damn it, I'm really not the protagonist here. She must have a loaded past if she was like this. How deep did that Wang Meng and Wu Xie hurt her? Or was she not so simple after all?

"Don't think about it. It's not what you think." Liang Wan said, "I'm thinking of another person, who has nothing to do with them." She gave a wry smile. "I might have mentioned this when you first met Wang Meng, but this actually wasn't the first time I had seen them. When I was still an intern, I met a patient who had a bone fracture and suffered amnesia from an unknown trauma. I met these people when I was taking care of that patient."

She sighed, "There are some people you shouldn't meet. If you meet them once, they'll ruin your whole life."

Li Cu raised his eyebrows and said to himself, don't tell me she's in love?

"I heard something I shouldn't have when I was taking care of that patient." Liang Wan looked out the window at the west lake and said leisurely, "Those people seemed to be that person's friends, and it looked like they wanted to get some information from him. They took care of him very diligently, but I couldn't because I was busy with my other patients. Every night, I stayed in that person's ward for a long time and sometimes heard him say a lot of meaningless words. Well, they were meaningless by themselves, but I listened day after day and finally put together some clues. I don't know what these clues really mean, but I did remember the information. Later, the man was discharged from the hospital and I never saw him again."

"Do you like him that much?" Li Cu asked, thinking sourly, this fickle woman, who don't you like?

Liang Wan looked at him and said, "It's not just for this reason. Later, I met Wang Meng and Wu Xie and recognized them, so I intentionally approached them. In fact, I wasn't initially your doctor, but took the initiative to transfer. I just want to know what these people are really after—"

"And then?" Li Cu asked.

"Then, I found that the water in their world is too deep. I chatted with Wang Meng and tried to get some information, and eventually succeeded. I didn't know what that person's words meant, but Wang Meng told me a lot. I suddenly understood those words' meaning and became very afraid," Liang Wan said, suddenly looking up at something behind Li Cu's back.

He immediately turned around and saw a young man walking through the door, followed by several people, one of whom was the one who had previously opened the door at Wu Shanju.
