Chapter 592: Chapter 592: What is this, a baseless accusation?

Lian Qigang was so infuriated by Qin Hongyu’s words that he almost vomited blood.

Qin Hongyu, on the other hand, couldn’t be bothered to waste more words with Lian Qigang, and was about to leave with Chen Xuan.

But just then.

"Stop right there!" commanded Lian Qigang, unable to contain his anger.

Whoosh!

A dozen guards from Lian Rentang immediately burst out, blocking Chen Xuan’s path.

Chen Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly, and Qin Hongyu’s face also turned unsightly in an instant. She turned to look at Lian Qigang and shouted angrily, "What are you trying to do?!"

Lian Qigang scoffed coldly, "What am I trying to do? You think you can just walk away after swindling forty billion from me? Do you really think Lian Rentang is a pushover?!"

"Let me tell you, if you’re sensible, you’ll spit out that forty billion right now; otherwise, don’t even think about leaving this place today!"

Lian Qigang was menacing, clearly ready to get serious!

Qin Hongyu already had a short fuse, and now having it repeatedly tested by Lian Qigang, she was truly furious enough to kill.

"When begging for help, you were as obedient as a dog, and now you’ve turned your back on us as soon as you’re saved!"

"I think you deserve to die! Next time you’re poisoned, you should just watch yourself die!"

Lian Qigang snorted with laughter, "Save people? I think you’re harming people, to be more accurate!"

Chen Xuan couldn’t listen anymore, "What do you mean by that?"

The crowd was also somewhat perplexed.

Lian Qigang spoke with a smile that was not really a smile, "Do I need to spell it out? The Five-Step Flower poison is extremely rare, yet today, both my father and I happened to be poisoned by it."

"I don’t believe this is just a coincidence given how unlikely it is!"

As soon as these words came out, the room was in an uproar.

In fact, everyone had found it odd that members of the Lian Family were poisoned one after another.

Now, Lian Qigang’s words led everyone’s thoughts astray, successfully pointing the finger at Chen Xuan!

Chen Xuan of course realized what Lian Qigang was implying, and his eyes became instantly icy.

"Are you suggesting that I was the one who poisoned you?!"

Lian Qigang sneered, "Isn’t it?"

"First, you poison my father, then come out like a hero to cure him, all because you’re coveting the Revival Grass, aren’t you?"

"Just now, you poisoned me as well, then repeated the trick by forcing me to beg you for the antidote, all for a huge ’thank-you’ fee!"

"And now, not only have you gotten the Revival Grass without spending a penny, you’ve even made a tidy profit of twenty billion yuan!"

"Your tactics are truly ruthless!"

Upon hearing Lian Qigang’s analysis, the crowd exploded into commotion, struck by sudden realization.

To them, Lian Qigang’s words seemed quite plausible!

Many were so convinced by Lian Qigang’s analysis that they believed Chen Xuan was indeed the one who had poisoned the victims!

Listening to the voices of agreement from the crowd, Lian Qigang was inwardly pleased.

In fact, his previous words were just made up on the spot, aimed at crushing Chen Xuan’s spirit and forcing him to return the forty billion yuan!

He didn’t expect these onlookers to believe his words so easily, truly foolish!

Qin Hongyu was so furious with Lian Qigang’s slanderous statement that she felt like exploding.

"You scoundrel, you’re blatantly slandering!"

"If it weren’t for Chen Xuan’s intervention, you and your father would have long been dead!"

"Not only are you ungrateful, but you also deliberately try to besmirch the one who saved your life; you are truly shameless to the extreme!"

Lian Qigang snorted coldly, "Whether he is a lifesaver or a poisoner, everyone’s eyes are clear. Do you really think everyone is a fool?"

Qin Hongyu wished she could slap him.

Chen Xuan’s face grew increasingly solemn.

He had cured Lian Qigang of poison and saved his life. To avoid thanking him was one thing, but to falsely accuse him of being the poisoner was another.

This was a clear case of repaying kindness with enmity!

"You say I poisoned, do you have any evidence?" Chen Xuan asked Lian Qigang in a cold voice.

Lian Qigang huffed, "You should be thankful I have no evidence. If I did, it wouldn’t be as simple as getting back those forty billion!"

Chen Xuan laughed out of sheer anger, "So, you’re saying that you have no proof and want to frame a good person?"

It was only then that Lian Qigang realized he had fallen into Chen Xuan’s logical trap and quickly tried to defend himself, "I may not have evidence, but that doesn’t mean I’m framing you! After all, you’re currently the person with the most suspicion!"

Chen Xuan spoke with ease, "I’m under suspicion, so I must be the murderer? I’m quite familiar with this sort of accusation. What’s it called, again? A trumped-up charge?"

"You..." Lian Qigang was speechless from Chen Xuan’s retort.

Chen Xuan pressed on, "You said everyone’s eyes are clear, which I wholeheartedly agree with."

"So, everyone just saw that Elder Master Lian had been poisoned earlier, I was always at the entrance, while Elder Master Lian was inside the private room."

"I haven’t even seen his face, so how could I have poisoned him?"

With just a few light sentences, Chen Xuan caught Lian Qigang off guard, leaving him at a loss for words.

The surrounding crowd also had a sudden realization.

Right, if they hadn’t even seen each other, how could he have poisoned him?

Clearly, Doctor Chen was innocent!

Qin Hongyu’s eyes lit up, and she looked at Chen Xuan with a trace of admiration.

This Third Master Lian had angered her to the point of nausea, yet Chen Xuan had rendered him speechless in a few words.

Both brave and resourceful, no wonder Chen Fengchuo had managed to win the favor of families from all four directions!

By now, Lian Qigang also knew that he simply couldn’t outtalk Chen Xuan.

But to watch forty billion fill Chen Xuan’s pockets while he did nothing was something he could not bear!

Lian Qigang argued, "No matter how eloquent you are, it’s useless. Let me tell you, today you must return those forty billion to me, or else don’t even think about leaving this place!"

At this point, Lian Qigang had clearly stopped trying to reason.

The onlookers were becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Lian Qigang’s behavior.

Fang Chengqian stepped forward with a stern face, "Third Master Lian, that forty billion was an agreement between you and Miracle Doctor Chen. To renege on it now could harm the reputation of Lian Rentang. Please reconsider!"

Lian Qigang dismissively retorted, "Don’t bother with your moralizing here. No one dares to tarnish the reputation of Lian Rentang!"

"Miracle Doctor Fang, I will spare you out of respect for your high esteem, so don’t meddle any further. This doesn’t concern you!"

"You..." Fang Chengqian’s hands trembled with rage, unable to believe that Third Master Lian could be so arrogant, not even showing respect for his seniority in the field of medicine.

Lian Qigang then turned to Chen Xuan, demanding coldly, "Chen, I’ll ask you one last time, will you return the money or not?!"
