Chapter 596: Chapter 596: It Will Kill People!

For a moment, the entire private room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Lian Qiming.

Lian Qiming hadn’t expected Chen Xuan to suddenly point the finger at him, and was caught off guard, unable to react immediately.

Elder Master Lian couldn’t believe Chen Xuan’s words and exclaimed in surprise, "Miracle Doctor Chen, could you be mistaken? Qiming has always been sensible. How could he possibly poison me and Qigang?"

Even Lian Qigang shook his head repeatedly, "Impossible. Even if someone was poisoned, it must be the work of an enemy from outside, not our own Lian Family members! I believe in Qiming!"

Lian Qiming was stunned for a long time, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Miracle Doctor Chen, are you kidding me?"

"I know you want to make a good impression in front of my father, to earn his favor, but this is not the way to do it!"

"The greatest beneficiary is the murderer, you say? According to you, then Qiwen is also a beneficiary. Why don’t you accuse him of being the murderer too?"

At these words, everyone nodded meaningfully, finding the argument quite reasonable.

Lian Qiming became even more smug, looking at Chen Xuan, he snorted coldly, "Trying to frame me? You need to have some evidence at least, otherwise you’re just a laughingstock!"

Lian Qiming was sure that Chen Xuan couldn’t possibly have any evidence, so he appeared very confident.

However, before Lian Qiming could revel in his smugness for long, he heard Chen Xuan chuckle and say, "Alright then, since you so desire evidence, I shall give you evidence!"

"Hmm?!" Lian Qiming’s smile vanished instantly.

Elder Master Lian was also taken aback and quickly asked, "Divine Doctor, do you really have evidence?"

Chen Xuan nodded and said to Lian Qiming, "You are quite clever. When you poisoned Elder Master Lian and Third Master Lian, you were never present and had others do it for you."

"But you overlooked one thing—The scent of the Five-Step Flower!"

Elder Master Lian was surprised, "Divine Doctor, shouldn’t the Five-Step Flower be colorless and odorless?"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "To the average person, its scent is indeed very faint, negligible even; but in my presence, its scent is quite pronounced, making it difficult for me not to notice!"

Elder Master Lian and the others suddenly understood, while Lian Qiming’s face was obviously not looking good, with a subtle sweat breaking out on his forehead.

But he still stubbornly retorted, "Just because you say there’s a scent of Five-Step Flower on me doesn’t make it true. If you can smell it and others can’t, you can say whatever you want! Is this supposed to be evidence? It’s laughable!"

Chen Xuan calmly replied, "You’re right that they indeed can’t smell it, but don’t forget the toxicity of the Five-Step Flower!"

"The scent is emanating from the hem of your shirt, where the pollen of the Five-Step Flower still lingers!"

"If you claim to be innocent, why not smell that spot in front of everyone and prove your innocence?"

At these words, Lian Qiming’s face visibly filled with panic.

"Why... Why should I? Just because you tell me to smell it, I must?" Lian Qiming argued.

Lian Qiming’s behavior aroused suspicion among the crowd.

"Qiming, what do you mean? You couldn’t be feeling guilty, could you?" Lian Qigang said with a cold expression.

Lian Qiming tried to appear calm, "Guilty? What do I have to feel guilty about? Anyway, I won’t smell it!"

However, no sooner had Lian Qiming finished speaking than Chen Xuan stepped up to him.

"Whether you smell it or not is not for you to decide! Since you’re not willing to prove your innocence, let me help you then!"

With that, Chen Xuan grabbed the hem of Lian Qiming’s shirt and was about to cover his nose and mouth with it.

"No, don’t!" Lian Qiming cried out in terror, scrambling to avoid it.

As if what was before him wasn’t just a piece of clothing, but a dagger!

"Murder! Murder!!" Lian Qiming shouted in panic.

Chen Xuan’s face was full of amusement, "What are you afraid of? It’s just an ordinary piece of clothing. Smelling it won’t kill you!"

Saying so, Chen Xuan moved to place the shirt hem over Lian Qiming again.

Lian Qiming collapsed to his knees with a thud, "No, don’t! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!"

Chen Xuan’s brow arched, "So you’re admitting that you were the one who poisoned me?"

"Yes, it was me! Please don’t make me smell it. It really kills people!"

Lian Qiming broke down emotionally, crying and shouting in terror.

Meanwhile, Elder Master Lian and the others were stunned in place.

"To think it was actually you!" Elder Master Lian was so angry that his chest heaved violently, almost fainting from his fury.

His own flesh and blood, actually wanting to poison him to death?

It was utterly heartless and callous!

"You bastard dared to harm me and father, are you even human? I’ll beat you to death!!"

Lian Qigang was livid with rage, swinging his fists and feet, attacking Lian Qiming.

"Dad, big brother, I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again!" Lian Qiming pleaded for mercy.

Elder Master Lian turned a blind eye, thoroughly disappointed with his vicious son.

Elder Master Lian bowed to Chen Xuan, "Miracle Doctor Chen, thank you for rooting out this calamity for us!"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "It was nothing. However, matters of family leadership are of great importance, Elder Master Lian must be cautious indeed."

Then, Chen Xuan looked meaningfully at the eighteen or nineteen-year-old Lian Qiwen, adding, "In the previous dynasty, Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight and took control at fourteen. Sometimes, age and experience are not the most important things; ability is!"

Elder Master Lian glanced at Lian Qiwen and suddenly had an epiphany.

Before, when he was considering his successor, he had only considered Lian Qigang and Lian Qiming, but had overlooked the still young Lian Qiwen.

Chen Xuan’s words were clearly a hint for him.

His son, who had just come of age, was actually the most suitable candidate!

"Thank you, Miracle Doctor Chen, for the reminder, I understand now!" Elder Master Lian expressed his sincere gratitude.

Lian Qiwen also bowed in thanks, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Chen!"

He had always tried hard to show his potential but was overlooked because of his youth.

Today, all his efforts had not been in vain!

Chen Xuan did not say anything more and left the private room with Qin Hongyu, as there were enemies outside that he needed to face!

As they descended the stairs, Qin Hongyu asked out of curiosity, "Chen Xuan, can you really smell the scent of the Five-Step Flower?"

Chen Xuan smiled enigmatically, "What do you think?"

Qin Hongyu paused, then suddenly realized.

The private room had long been enveloped by the aroma of food – there was no way Chen Xuan could smell anything else!

From beginning to end, he had been bluffing Lian Qiming!

At that moment, inside the private room.

"Dad, with Divine Doctor Chen leaving like this, it looks like he’s walking into certain death! Are we really not going to help him?"

In the face of Chen Xuan’s successive performances, Lian Qiwen couldn’t help but feel admiration and now started to worry.

Elder Master Lian remained silent, but walked straight to the window.

Looking down from the window, the Lian family members took in a sharp breath.

Below, the outside of Wangyue Tower was already surrounded by a dense crowd, three layers inside and three layers outside, encircling the entire tower so tightly that not even a breath of air could escape!
