Chapter 1493 Drugged

“Alright! If you say so!” Du Jun said excitedly.

Xia Zhe nodded slightly and said, “I’m going to the bathroom. Excuse me.”

He made a huge detour to avoid Du Jun’s subordinates. After confirming that no one was looking for him, he returned to his tent. Unexpectedly, not long after he sat down, Xiao Jian came to look for him urgently.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Zhe asked.

“Commander Xia, Du Jun is looking for you everywhere! He’s heading here soon! He’s going to turn the entire camp inside out!” Xiao Jian said.

Xia Zhe sighed deeply and wondered why he had to encounter such an unreasonable person. Zhao Wu should not have drank so much that he could not be around to handle this! When they went back to their base, he must train up Zhao Wu’s capacity for alcohol!

Xia Zhe went out from the back end of the tent and played hide and seek with Du Jun for a while before returning to the canteen. Du Jun held up a glass and said drunkenly, “Brother Xia, where did you go! I’ve been looking for you for such a long time! Come! Let’s continue drinking!”

“We can’t drink anymore. There are already too many guys drunk tonight. If an enemy launches an attack and all of us are drunk, won’t that be a disaster?” Xia Zhe said.

Du Jun nodded in agreement. He picked up another glass of liquor and said, “Then just have one last drink with me!”

Xia Zhe took the glass. When he was about to drink it, he realized that the liquor was different from what they drank just now. This glass had a slight fishy smell. Du Jun was actually trying to drug him!

glass had a slight fishy smell. Du Jun was actually trying to drug him!

Even if he put down the glass now, he did not have any conclusive evidence to prove that it was Du Jun who did it. Du Jun would just find a scapegoat and then escape. Right now, he could only beat Du Jun at his own game and see what he had in mind.

Xia Zhe touched the pendant on the necklace around his neck. Qiao Mei had given it to him before he left and there was some golden liquid inside. From the smell, he could tell that it was the same “divine medicine” made by Qiao Mei, but the effect should be much better than the green liquid and could save his life at a critical moment. When he was on the mission in the mountain area, he had relied on Qiao Mei’s normal medicinal wine to save many lives. It looked like Qiao Mei was going to save his life right now.

“Drink up! Look, I’ve finished mine!” Du Jun urged.

“Sure!” Xia Zhe downed the liquor in his glass in one gulp. At the same time, he drank Qiao Mei’s “divine medicine” without allowing Du Jun to see what he did. After drinking the liquor, Xia Zhe could taste blood in his throat and also felt a little dizzy. Not long after, the taste in his mouth was replaced by the fragrance of ginseng. It appeared that the antidote had worked.

However, he still needed to put on an act. He appeared dizzy and looked like he was going to fall on Du Jun. Du Jun quickly arranged for someone to carry Xia Zhe back to his tent and then he even chased Xiao Jian out. He said that he would personally take care of Xia Zhe’s safety tonight.

Xiao Jian was ranked lower than Du Jun, so he had to follow Du Jun’s orders.

“Hurry up and check if he’s still breathing!” Du Jun said disdainfully.

The person beside Du Jun hurriedly went forward to check Xia Zhe’s breathing and replied softly, “He’s still breathing. He’s not dead.”

“Then hurry up and do what you need to do!” Du Jun turned around after saying that.

Xia Zhe lay motionlessly on the bed. He did not expect Du Jun to be able to hide things so well and even have an accomplice with him. He had already thoroughly investigated all the people whom Du Jun brought along. This person beside Du Jun must have snuck in today.

Just as that person was about to make his move, Xia Zhe jumped up. First, he went for Du Jun, who was turned away from the bed, and knocked him unconscious. Then, he grabbed the man who was trying to escape.

“Tell me! What exactly are you doing here!” Xia Zhe said fiercely.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Please be magnanimous and let me go! I’m only here because they told me to do it. I’m being made use of. Please don’t kill me!” the man said fearfully.

Xia Zhe checked the condition of the man’s body and muscles and let go only after confirming that he was not a soldier or a professional assassin. This man was so weak that he would not be able to run too far even if he wanted to. He was not a threat to Xia Zhe at all.

“I won’t kill you, but you have to tell me who you are,” Xia Zhe said.

“My name is Cao Liang, I’m a doctor. I used to work at a small clinic in the capital. I’m forced to do this! I’m not the one who planned this!” Cao Liang said as he knelt on the ground out of fear.

<nulli>The capital? Forced to do this? It was unexpected to hear that this matter was related to the capital. If so, the purpose of Du Jun’s visit this time round was definitely not as simple as seeking credit.
