Chapter 105: I Never Intended for You to Leave Here Alive
Page (1/3)
Murong Yun was naturally unwilling to die here, and she knew all too well that Lin Yang was her only hope.
Yet that hope was exceedingly faint. Even if Lin Yang could cure Qin Yiling, he would likely end up clashing with Xue Pengju.
No matter what happened, Lin Yang would be dragged into the matter. That was the last thing Murong Yun wanted to see.
Thus, she was torn. She could not accept dying like this and had come to regard Lin Yang as her sole hope, yet at the same time, she feared that she would bring disaster upon him.
Just then, Lin Yang arrived at the hospital at top speed.
He was very familiar with this ward. Cao Keming had stayed here when he was poisoned.
This was the VIP ward of the First Municipal Hospital. It was spacious and fully equipped, reserved for patients of special status.
Lin Yang had already learned over the phone that the other side had seized Murong Yun and infected her with the Blood Carbuncle Poison Rash. They had used such despicable means to force him to provide treatment, and it had infuriated him.
He had come to the hospital with no intention of treating anyone.
Bang!
Lin Yang kicked open the door to the VIP ward.
“Mr. Lin!”
Han Liqun, who was standing nearest to the door, was overjoyed at the sight of him.
Although Xue Pengju had not yet turned his attention toward him, Han Liqun could sense that the man was a madman. Who knew what he might do once he lost control?
Lin Yang swept his gaze across the ward. Murong Yun was guarding Jiang Lin’s corpse, and sorrow and apology showed in her eyes as she looked at him.
“The guest of honor has finally arrived! So you’re the miracle physician everyone has been talking about? You certainly put on airs. Without using a few tactics, it seems we couldn’t have brought you here.”
Xue Pengju sat in a chair with one leg crossed over the other, displaying an arrogant and overbearing air.
“Was the Qin family’s reputation not enough for you? Treating someone from the Qin family is an opportunity for you to rise to prominence. What gives you the right to act so conceited? At your age, you dare call yourself a miracle physician?”
Xue Pengju was in no hurry to have Lin Yang begin treatment. He intended to intimidate him first and display the authority of the Qin family.
Moreover, seeing how young Lin Yang was, Xue Pengju felt even more disdain and suspicion.
Which genuine miracle physician was not over fifty and possessed decades of medical experience? Could a doctor this young have begun studying medicine from the moment he was born? Otherwise, how advanced could his skills possibly be?
“Young Master Xue, he can’t be that Lin miracle physician, can he? How could someone so young dare call himself a miracle physician? I’m afraid his medical skills may not even match those of my apprentice!”
Tang Daomin sneered.
“Oh? Did he lack the courage to come and simply send an apprentice to fool me?” Xue Pengju narrowed his eyes, a cold murderous glint flickering within them.
“Young Master Xue, he is the Lin miracle physician,” Han Liqun said softly.

Lin Yang ignored them. Instead, he walked over to Murong Yun, helped her to her feet, and glanced at Jiang Lin’s corpse on the floor.
“I’m sorry. I still ended up dragging you into this.”
Murong Yun lowered her voice in apology.
“It isn’t your fault. I know how difficult your situation is. None of this was your choice.”
Lin Yang did not blame her. He merely offered her a word of comfort.
“It’s dangerous here. There’s a martial arts grandmaster beside Xue Pengju.”
Murong Yun knew that Lin Yang was also a martial arts grandmaster, but grandmasters differed greatly in rank and strength. She could not help worrying that, if the opponent’s rank was higher than Lin Yang’s, he would be in danger.
Lin Yang gave a slight nod and fixed Xue Pengju with a cold gaze.
“I am the miracle physician you were looking for, and I can indeed cure the Blood Carbuncle Poison Rash.”
“Excellent! Since you can cure it, then get on with it. Once it’s cured, I’ll naturally reward you and grant you wealth, fame, and status. But if you lack the ability and fail to cure her—if you try to deceive me—then you and all the others will be buried alongside my cousin.”
This was the Qin family’s most commonly used method: combining rewards with threats.
“I never agreed to treat them, and I won’t lift a finger to save them. You dare threaten me? Who do you think you are?”
A chill entered Lin Yang’s gaze. He could not be bothered to waste any more words on Xue Pengju and stated his position bluntly.
“What did you say?”
Xue Pengju’s brows drew together, and icy light flashed in his eyes. The atmosphere in the ward instantly became charged with hostility.
“Are you deaf? I don’t intend to repeat myself.”
Facing Xue Pengju’s murderous stare, Lin Yang remained utterly composed.
“Good! Very good! You’ve got quite a nerve, daring to oppose me. It has been a long time since I’ve seen anyone so recklessly audacious.”
Xue Pengju sneered, having already formed the intention to kill.
“You ungrateful fool. I gave you a chance to curry favor with the Qin family, yet you don’t know enough to appreciate it. Since that’s the case, you’re nothing but a useless waste. And waste deserves to die.”
“I never intended to let you leave Luocheng alive either,” Lin Yang said calmly.
Xue Pengju’s eyes widened in shock.
“You want to kill me too?!”
The next moment, Xue Pengju burst into a wild, arrogant laugh.
“They say you’re a miracle physician, but I say you’re not a physician at all—you’re a lunatic. You think you can kill me?”

Xue Pengju’s face was filled with contempt and disdain.
“Should I say that you’re admirably courageous and outrageously bold, or that you’re ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth, like an ant trying to shake a tree?”
Lin Yang had no interest in trading insults with Xue Pengju. He had already clenched his fists, murderous intent swirling in his eyes.
“Mr. Lin, please calm down. Don’t act rashly! He is Qin Yiling’s cousin. If you kill him, the consequences will be endless. We cannot afford to provoke the Qin family.”
Murong Yun certainly wanted nothing more than to hack Xue Pengju into a thousand pieces, but reason told her that she could not do it.
Born into the Murong family, Murong Yun understood all too well that reality was this cruel.
What fairness was there? What justice or satisfying vengeance?
Most of the time, there was only helplessness and the need to swallow one’s anger. Otherwise, one would die horribly.
And it would not be only one’s own death. One might also drag one’s family and friends into the grave.
Murong Yun could only suppress her hatred for Xue Pengju and urge Lin Yang not to act rashly.
“You’re courting death. I’ll send you on your way!”
Xue Pengju, however, struck first, charging at Lin Yang with murderous intent.
Xue Pengju himself was no weakling. He possessed the strength of a sixth-grade postnatal warrior and had mastered powerful internal martial arts. The moment he attacked, he unleashed a vicious killing move.
Lin Yang had never regarded Xue Pengju as a threat.
When faced with Xue Pengju’s attack, Lin Yang simply threw a punch.
Their fists collided. As expected, Xue Pengju was sent flying and crashed into the wall. The tremendous force of the impact injured him, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. His right hand had gone completely numb.
“You!”
Xue Pengju had likewise never taken a mere doctor seriously, and he had not used his full strength just now.
But at this moment, his face was filled with astonishment.
“With abilities like yours, you still dare boast about killing me?”
Lin Yang stood with his hands behind his back.
Xue Pengju struggled to his feet, his face as dark as still water.
“If I want you dead, you won’t survive! I underestimated your strength, but you will die today!”
Xue Pengju’s expression twisted viciously. Then he turned to Xu Feihong and ordered, “Grandmaster Xu, kill him!”
Xu Feihong gave a slight nod and took one step forward. The ward was instantly filled with the oppressive aura of a martial arts grandmaster, making everyone’s heart tremble.
