Chapter 595: Chapter 595: The Poisoner

"Miracle Doctor Chen, your pharmaceutical expertise is truly unparalleled in my entire life! This time, you really have solved a big problem for our Lian Rentang. Come, let me toast to you!"

Elder Master Lian raised his cup with both hands, his face flushed with excitement.

Chen Xuan lightly smiled, "Elder Master Lian, you flatter me!"

Chen Xuan clinked his cup with Elder Master Lian’s, just about to down it in one gulp.

At that moment, a servant rushed in, panic-stricken.

"Family Head, something terrible has happened!"

The servant was drenched in sweat, his face pale, clearly terrified.

Elder Master Lian’s face drooped with displeasure as he scolded, "What is this unseemly panic? Speak slowly, what exactly has happened?"

The servant hurriedly spoke up, "Someone has surrounded the entire Wangyue Tower. They demand that we hand over Miracle Doctor Chen, or else, they will storm Wangyue Tower!"

"Audacious!" Elder Master Lian’s face turned grim instantly, "Who has the gall to run wild in Qingshan Town!"

Everybody knows that the entire Qingshan Town is under the domain of the Lian Rentang, the Lian Family.

How dare they surround their place and even demand a person?

This is a blatant disregard for the Lian Rentang!

The servant, however, continued in a timid voice, "It... It seems to be someone from the Pan City Martial Alliance..."

"What?! The Pan City Martial Alliance?!" The members of the Lian Family were all stunned.

The Pan City Martial Alliance had vast influence and numerous members; they were definitely not a faction that a family business like Lian Rentang could afford to offend lightly!

This situation had even Elder Master Lian feeling troubled.

If it were some other minor power, he wouldn’t care at all, but the Pan City Martial Alliance—a behemoth to Lian Rentang!

This time, they were really in trouble!

Chen Xuan raised his eyebrow.

He had no prior dealings with the Pan City Martial Alliance, the only possibility being Ye Congling and the man in ancient attire at the auction.

It seems the so-called Pan City Martial Alliance was just their hired help!

At this point, Lian Qigang immediately stood up and said, "Dad, the Pan City Martial Alliance is powerful, and not someone we can afford to offend lightly!"

"In my opinion, we should immediately hand over this Mr. Chen to preserve our Lian Rentang!"

"After all, we have already perfected our medicines, and we won’t need him anymore!"

Lian Qigang had completely adopted a backstabbing stance.

Elder brother Lian Qiming also expressed agreement, "Big brother is right. With the strength of our Lian Rentang, we are not equipped to be enemies with the Pan City Martial Alliance."

"In my view, if someone really knows what’s good for them, that person should step forward on his own at this time. If someone’s troubles brought harm to others, it would be utterly immoral!"

When Lian Qiming said these words, his gaze was fixed on Chen Xuan, his meaning obvious.

If it had been any other time, Elder Master Lian would have openly scolded them, but this time, even Elder Master Lian was wary of the Pan City Martial Alliance, thus he fell into a dilemma and did not take a stand.

Qin Hongyu could not stand by any longer. She was about to say something but was stopped by Chen Xuan.

Qin Hongyu was extremely clever and immediately understood Chen Xuan’s intention.

He wanted to observe the character of this Lian Family, to see what kind of choice they would make!

Just as Elder Master Lian hesitated, the fifth son, Lian Qiwen, said with a heavy voice, "I object!"

"Dad, let’s not even mention that Miracle Doctor Chen helped us improve the medicine recipe, helping our Lian Rentang through tough times."

"Just consider the fact that he saved your life and Eldest Brother’s before. He is a great benefactor to our Lian Family; we absolutely cannot hand him over!"

"Otherwise, our Lian Rentang would bear the infamy of being ungrateful and will never be able to hold our heads high again! In the future, who would trust Lian Rentang!"

Lian Qiwen’s words hit the nail on the head, causing Elder Master Lian to see the light and suddenly realize.

"Qiwen is right, Miracle Doctor Chen is a benefactor to our Lian Family; we absolutely cannot stand by idly!"

Lian Qigang fell silent, "Dad, Qiwen is just a kid; what does he know!"

"If we offend the Martial Alliance of Pan City today, I’m afraid we’ll be targeted very soon. Whether we have a future at all is still questionable, let alone considering any further!"

Elder Master Lian stood firm, "Even a mighty dragon cannot suppress the local snake! The Martial Alliance of Pan City may be powerful, but our Lian Rentang is not to be trifled with! Besides, we are on our territory now!"

"Qigang, go tell those people outside that Miracle Doctor Chen is our Lian Rentang’s person; anyone who dares to touch him is looking for trouble with Lian Rentang! I, Lian Siyuan, will be the first to refuse!"

Lian Qigang was astonished, "Dad..."

"Go quickly!" Elder Master Lian rebuked angrily.

Feeling helpless, Lian Qigang looked at Chen Xuan with disdain, "Surname Chen, this is all your fine work! If you’re so capable, you should take responsibility for the trouble you’ve caused yourself, instead of hiding behind us and expecting Lian Rentang to clean up after you!"

Having said that, Lian Qigang got up to leave but was stopped by Chen Xuan.

"Wait a moment! I appreciate Elder Master Lian’s kindness, but each person is responsible for their own actions."

"Since the people outside are here for me, then it is only right that I take care of it myself!"

Chen Xuan got up as he spoke, ready to leave with Qin Hongyu.

Elder Master Lian was shocked beyond words, "Miracle Doctor Chen, you don’t need to do this..."

Chen Xuan raised a hand to stop Elder Master Lian from continuing.

"Elder Master Lian, out of respect for your kind heart, I feel it necessary to remind you of something."

Elder Master Lian was startled, "What is it?"

Chen Xuan said, "Your and Third Master Lian’s consecutive poisoning today is no simple accident; it must have been deliberately orchestrated!"

"Oh?" Elder Master Lian’s expression changed dramatically, and he quickly asked, "Could Miracle Doctor Chen please enlighten me!"

Chen Xuan continued, "Given your age, Elder Master Lian, if I’m not mistaken, you must have been considering handing over the position of Family Head recently, right?"

Elder Master Lian nodded, "That’s right, indeed it is so! No secrets here, originally, Qigang was the one I valued most for the position of Family Head, but today I realized he is so short-sighted that he truly does not deserve this position."

Elder Master Lian spoke bluntly, leaving Lian Qigang extremely ashamed.

Chen Xuan gave a faint smile and continued, "Although Third Master Lian is short-sighted and not of great use, at least he doesn’t have many cruel intentions. However, the person who really poisoned you and the Third Master has a truly malicious heart!"

Lian Qigang caught the implication and frowned, "What do you mean, ’Surname Chen’? Are you suggesting you know who poisoned us?"

Chen Xuan smiled leisurely, casually saying, "It shouldn’t be too hard to guess. If you and the old man died, who would benefit the most? That person is most likely the criminal!"

"After all, with you two gone, he would naturally inherit the position of Family Head."

"Am I not right, brother Qiming?"

Chen Xuan’s gaze was piercing as he looked directly at Lian Qiming in front of him!
